I love him, watched the reworked 2005 Diana bit yesterday and everything hurt because I laughed so hard. Never saw a stand-up act like his and this pace adds so much to it.
Who is the real sick man in this so called society? Is it the man, who innocently owns an inflatable alien doll, to pleasure himself as he watches the man across the street empty his bins and then takes the filled alien to the memorial site of one of Britain's most beloved royal members, or, is it the businessman in his suit and tie, drinking coffee and reading a magazine?
like all his material he has refined and improved this material to perfection. and it was briliant to start with. other comedians need to raise their game
The way he delivered the line "I'd better go and get a life-size model of ET then" always think it could have been funnier if he'd continued the somber and quiet delivery, and dragged that scene out, perhaps even extending it for longer.
Cheers for this, first time I've seen it. Cool to see the way he changed it to the more recent version. The Dylan of stand up. Except when he evolves something it doesn't get worse.
Toned down for a Canadian audience but still so damn brilliant. He's not the funniest comedian in the world but no one makes me _think_ like Lee makes me think and for that I thank him.
Fun fact: Stewart Lee is my closest friend, someone who has helped me on many occasions through some very dark episodes. One day I hope to meet him so I can tell him. He wouldn't like me though, but that wouldn't matter... nobody likes me anyway. Perhaps he would at first think me merely another fawning sycophant from the West Midlands... but its more than that, I am not just a fan, because I honesty feel that my missing hair has been living vicariously through Stewart Lee for the last eleven years.

@InfiniteArguments Your so right, Ive seen him live a couple of times live and I just sit there and laugh constantly - its always so absurd what you witness.
We had those guys come to my school around 1994. Some guy talking about how much he loves Jesus and that he doesn't steal cars anymore. My teacher was standing behind a column trying to hide as he pissed himself laughing, leaving us to get in a bit of trouble as we were in plain sight. He marched us outside where we all then laughed hysterically. I suppose the intention wasn't awful, but we were not the kind of kids on the cusp of a life of crime or of religious conviction.
I agree but hes still funny in this. Cant wait for "41st Best Comedian" to come out on DVD at the end of July. Saw the show live 3 times and he just gets funnier each time.
He did a similar sketch right after 911. Using truly awful events like these as vehicles for humour is teetering on career suicide. Yet, he manages to pull it off without apparent offence. Very brave.
Love him (with or without Herring), but there is one little boo-boo. If he was working on the west coast that would be British Columbia, especially if there are Haidas there. Shouldn't complain - at least he came here. What he said about Montreal was spot on (my home town, so I can agree!) Hey, somebody mentioned Lee Evans - I saw him back when he was just starting on the London cabaret circuit and putting rubber bands all over his face. I had no doubt he would do well.
...you've seen them....on...the ...top of the pops........in the adverts........they run along the .err...bannister........doesn't matter......near the corn exchange.....yeah those rap singers...
I am not ashamed to admit that I, together with my wife and daughter placed the ET toy as a tribute to our Queen of Hearts. We bought flowers to place by the gate and my daughter, Emily said she wished to give her favourite toy. This, at the time was her most loved possession. It sat at the end of her bed and gave solace when she had bad dreams. To her, the gift of her protector was as heartfelt as any bouquet. To see Stuart Lee ridicule a child's gift, makes my heart weep. If you were a decent human being, you would hang your sorry head in shame.
In my opinion Stewart Lee is the most underated comedian who has ever let himself go.
Stewart Lee is probably the best comedian ever if you're tickled by Meta/goofy things. I can't get enough of him.
Ahah
hahaha
He is not underrated. He is very highly regarded.
@@souldreamer9056 are you sure you’re a proper Stewart Lee fan if you can’t appreciate what Boro Nut did?
My left ear has let itself go
has it reached the o-zone layer yet?
Well at least your right ear will compensate
In my opinion Stewart Lee is on of the most underrated British Stand Up Comics we have.
Yeah, he's at least the 39th best ever
He has a BAFTA.
one of the most underrated British Stand Up Comics we have has let himself go
@@stevedoolan1540 He must have let himself go, as he was ranked the 41st best stand-up ...
One of the most underrated war criminals of all time
He absolutely nailed that start to finish. Perfection.
I love him, watched the reworked 2005 Diana bit yesterday and everything hurt because I laughed so hard. Never saw a stand-up act like his and this pace adds so much to it.
It's interesting because the day after Diana died I saw Richard Herring on his way to Kensington palace with a life size inflatable E.T under his arm.
was it a consenting life-size inflatable model of E.T.?
coincidence

Was ALF!!!
I've only just discovered Stewart Lee and that whole ET bit was one of my hardest laughs. I haven't laughed like that in a long time.
TheHatedHater Yeah I've been watching his comedy vehicle show on Netflix. He's brilliant
like all his material he has refined and improved this material to perfection. and it was briliant to start with. other comedians need to raise their game
Unparalleled in content, structure and delivery
The left side audio channel has let itself go.
"We don't wanna be the only people that don't put one there!"
Love it!

he does that here: ruclips.net/video/VxN8PhKzZgY/видео.html
that bloke from the cure is looking a bit better.

My bladder has let itself go
The financial director of Tesco's transportation management department in Sloud has let himself go.
One of the greatest to have ever done it.
god I love this man
Thank you 🤗
Even back then Stewart had honed his style of sardonic humour IMHO one of the best stand-ups to come out of the UK
Isn't that General Ratko Mladic?
Thank you for or that I needed a fellow lee fan.
***** AHAHAHHAHAHAAH
Why is he in Damascus?
Martin Pearson Someone let him go.
Hes let himself go
Toned down for a Canadian audience but still so damn brilliant. He's not the funniest comedian in the world but no one makes me _think_ like Lee makes me think and for that I thank him.
Dunno, I laugh my ass off whenever I watch one of his specials. The poor neighbors must hate him.

Do yow like meat? Do yow live in the citoi? Get yamself down to Citoi Meat.
My God, it's Roland Gift at an age when he would be described later in life as "a young Roland Gift"! He's since let himself go.
This is some of the smartest comedy I have ever heard.
That’s something given the world experience you would have as a Roman Emperor on the borders of
Pax Romana fighting of Visigoths
I didn't even laugh but I agreed the fuck out of it
Imo Stewart Lee is one of the comics to come out of solihull in the last amount of time.
2024 and Stewart Lee still gives it to us straight.
Like a....

LOL this is brilliant - and new to me! love it!
I'm an American, and a comedian, and was told about Steward a week ago.
That's way too late for my taste.
Stewart Lee is fan-f*ckin'-tastic.
Outstanding
i love that he can spin 5 minutes of material out of one joke :D
This is sheer fucking brilliance!
1:03 the auditory equivalent of suddenly stepping out of Flatland into the third dimension

Stewart Lee (c.1998)
I think it's a set at _Just For Laughs_ . Too bad there isn't the full episode so we can index it.

It's not often you can call a man beautiful, but....
You wouldn't think it was the same person

The man speaks the truth, It's his delivery thats funny
Laika has let herself go.
its a reference to his material about frankie boyle and being 40. its in the related vids, watch it
comedy genius :-)

In the 90s sound only existed in mono. Its not the Serbian warlord's fault.
Interesting to see the evolution of that Diana joke.
I can't concentrate captain my left ear 👂 is going to make it!
I thought K.D.Lang lived in Argentina now?
Very funny guy! I heard his suitcase was lost in transit and he had to borrow shoes and a shirt from the theatre's six foot six caretaker.
He mic diddles with the best of 'em!
hes so beautiful
A+
A+++
brilliant
Seen the same Terry Christian post twice now. Do you do it on all Lee's videos?
If not, you should. It's funny.
Ha, very good.
Loved that one. :)
Stewart Lee. You’ve seen him. He’s at erm …. Montreal. You’ve seen him. By the corn exchange.
It's almost like watching Lee Mack. So many jokes per minute here. He should be on Mock the Week or Live at the Apollo.
You said it!
Looks so young!
Terry Christian has smartened himself up.
yeah!
The badger from Bodger and Badger has really let himself go
Give it to me straight like a %100 life size inflatable model of E.T., has let its-ALF go.
17 people left inflatable aliens at Diana's home
whatever happened to Morrisey
Let himself go.
In Montreal he gets called Le Stewart
hes sooo cute n handsome
@jimdaw65 Outside the corn exchange?
A set of statements about the geodesic completeness of Riemannian manifolds has really let itself go.
Richard Hammond's boyhood library monitor has let himself go
rubbish mate
Lol
You can tell how his material and delivery changes to cater for north american audiences
You've let me go, you've let everyone in the audience go, but most of all, you've let yourself go.
Extras? :)
Stewart Lee has let himself go
@missleahchloe This is from a decade ago. It was only uploaded in 2011. John Denver died in 1997, apparently.
He did a similar sketch right after 911. Using truly awful events like these as vehicles for humour is teetering on career suicide. Yet, he manages to pull it off without apparent offence. Very brave.

yes it is. nice observation.

This is very strange as I saw Joe Pasquale in the early 2000s and I swear he did the Diana/E.T. joke!
I saw him in my garden and I saw Michael Redmond in the same spot the year before. Funny coincidence.
Oh look, this man in the red shirt performing in Montreal nearly twenty years ago has let himself go
@ShaolinPete Not sure if troll, or unsure where Montreal is...
The Rt. Hon Sir John Spudgewick has fairly let himself go.
Not only has Stewart Lee let me down he has let E.T. down
going for the morrisey look there!
E.T has let himself go
This younger, slimmer version of Stewart Lee is proof that he is the 41st best comedian to suffer middle aged spread.
I am not ashamed to admit that I, together with my wife and daughter placed the ET toy as a tribute to our Queen of Hearts.

well done
@BlunderCats It is.
He doesn't look that bad! I'd also agree with you on getting funnier with age
Wasn't John Denver one of the first Existentialists?
stew is a jenius
He has let himself go since this video was recoreded.
Montreal has really let itself go!
