I think that's the thing with surrealists and one liner comedians. People forget that they have (generally) come up with the ideas and concept themselves. They're not just spouting random insanity - they have to be intelligent enough to put it all together "coherently". Like other comedians, it has to be organised and memorised and there has to be comebacks in case they get heckled. People watch comedians like Dara O'briain who monologue. Such comedians generally talk about science or philosophy and people think "wow! so clever" (which many of them are). Then they watch surrealists or one liners and think "they're insane".

6:58 I was already having a hard time breathing after listening to that argument on ice cream, then Bill comes in a drops that one liner!

"Who's gonna tell Pam she probably saw a duck?"

"Why is it straight.. because it is" lost me in tears 😂😂

Johnny Vegas is one very funny man. And Sean Lock is very sadly missed.

"This is why i struggled in school" no truer words have ever been spoken.

"It was like rivers of blood speech, cause loads of mackrel were told to f**k off home"

Johnny on QI has bought tears to my eyes so many times. Plus the fact he makes anyone else on the panel totally crack up too. Like when Stephen told him his dreams ment he was gay, being chased out the park for scaring ducks. Everything he says is so random but so funny. Like after one of his comments about ginger bread men in the pudding wars and Stephen says "I so want to live in Johnnys world"

Vegas is such a legend! Lol. Even the people at the start who roll their eyes at the start as if to say 'here we go again' end up in tears!

Thank you, thank you so much for adding in the Cornflakes bit. The riots have quelled and all is right in the land of QI.

I don't know about the OP, but I feel sorry for Johnny because of his troubled past, which came through rather clearly during his early stand-up days, to the point where the Johnny Vegas act was more of an angry rant than a stand-up routine. Not to mention the fact that he was near constantly drunk, on and off stage. One only needs watch what's available here on KZread to get an impression of what he was like back then, like the 2000 Melbourne Special for instance, where he basically goes off on the audience for 5+ minutes, or the 1998 Johnny Vegas Television Show- a TV movie so depressing, you can't even find it listed in his filmography. You have to stumble upon it, to know it even exists. And as a tip for this particular iceberg, there's "18 stone of idiot", which quite possibly shows him at the lowest point of his life, around 2005. There was a lot of misery in the guy's life, and even though he's a completely different man nowadays, having a family and all, you can still see glimpses of his old self in seemingly inconsequential stuff like that one poem he wrote on Cats does Countdown, which was quite possibly written based on personal experience.

Just brilliant, absolute charming.

Johnny Vegas is a delight.

I love Johnny Vegas.

One of these days I pray someone posts footage of Claire Balding interviewing Johnny at The Grand National. Can't remember what year but think it was early 00's. She asked him did he watch The Grand National growing up and he said yes and he used to recreate it by gathering stray cats and strapping his action man figures to their backs and racing them around his back garden. It actually made The Grand National entertaining for just a second
