Derek & Clive

[NMH]

No, they may just be an uptight, anal and rather sad individual. The whole point about Derek and Clive is that it was long before 'Alternative Comedy' and a lot of what made it so funny was it's sheer outrageousness, it was and still is hilarious though.

I found it all a bit too obvious and silly, something like the impression from the more embarrassing Monty Python sketches (of which there are many).
A bit wry occasionally, but personally I never found 'blue' humour much cop just because of the expletives either - for example Chubby Brown (absolute shite 'comedy' for northern working class dullards imo).

What Cook and Moore did that was worth raving about, was mostly in their own shows and Palladium appearances.

See this sudden interconnection? Jesus doesn't give you the horn, Valerie doesn't give you the horn, they both have beards.
And Valeries g-g-got a knob.
Jesus had a knob! Does she pin herself on a cross every now and then? 'Course she does, I've got a polaroid of that.
I think Valerie is Jesus.......If so you're in shtuck mate.

Good point, well made.

there was a scene in a recording studio where peter cook was slamming a bunch of celery into an inflatable wench whilst doing his best to rid the world of a bottle of smirnoff in double quick time.......only done once and unforgettable in my humble O.

The Peter Cook album that he did with Chris Morris just prior to his demise (Peter Cooks that it) is v. funny.
