Surprised I couldn't find a thread for this already but figured it was worthwhile. This is for the all-time great Bits. May as well start with Pete Holmes' "nothing makes sense" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyDpS-GftCk Kevin Bridges' "Greek response to debt" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrfjDfL0fxQ And of course Bill Hicks' classic "Just a ride" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNEyLn1Zz_g Plenty more out there, so have at it.

I suppose you can't go wrong with Billy Connolly's crucifixion bit. My Mum's old record of this was destroyed by her uncle cause it was blasphemous.

The Beestenders sketch remains one of my favourite things. A joy of a performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3KDRKxUpjU Edit: On a Stewart Lee note, this remains an absolutely brilliant bit of his very specific brand of stand up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkCBhKs4faI Flint_Paper has a new favorite as of 14:31 on Sep 15, 2022 |

Whatever happened to Arsenio Hall anyway? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHSoN8t6x3M Do sitcoms count? One of the moments I go back to often in my head is the episode of That 70s Show when Donna finds the panties in Eric's car, and the ensuing encounter at the Hub. codo27 has a new favorite as of 16:37 on Sep 15, 2022 |

I actually found this through the funny videos thread ages ago ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iN9RhdVWK8 Craig Ferguson loses his poo poo when his robot Geoff goes off script. Apparently this is the first time Geoff was voiced live so Craig had no idea what he was gonna say.

I do want to see more stand-up bits, but love a good history sketch too: "Which, incidentally, is something else I'd quite like to talk to you about at some point" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOBhf8f7cXM And a brilliant Australian show in similar territory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnoKJ16vSr4

It's debatable as to whether it's even comedy, and it's a shame what's happened since, but this can't not go on the list as a magnificent use of the medium at a significant point in history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tR6mKcBbT4

T-t-t-triple post, but John Mulaney has at least 3 of some of the finest examples of the art form: This deserves to be in here for set design alone, but says a lot of good things about College Tuition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiqKK4ysI7g Kind of tragic for what's happened since, but pretty perfect for the time, "Horse in the Hospital": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhkZMxgPxXU Back to the Future pitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKwMnnuN7-g And James Acaster's "British Museum" is definitely in the top 5. Pretty much every second is just masterful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x73PkUvArJY

Oh, I get it. This thread is an attempt to prove that Stewart Lee is the only good comedian. It's pretty convincing, but I've seen other comedians before so I know it's not true.

If you're in Australia (or can trick the internet into thinking you're in Australia probably I guess) you could watch Very Very. It's "a love letter to mime (and to a coat) written by award-winning idiot Tom Walker, who keeps talking during what he insists is a mime show."

I've umm-ed and ahh-ed about posting this, but as yesterday was the 39th anniversary of the soviet nuclear false alarm incident, I figured I should  .After Doing Quite Well in live sketch comedy for a few years, I had an idea for a solo show about how mental health, toxic masculinity, and nuclear war are all weirdly connected (and, of course, talking about Stanislav Petrov). I spent about five years thinking "hey, this would make a really great show" and never getting round to it. Eventually, I thought "gently caress it" and in 2018 booked a slot at London's largest arts festival to perform it. At that point, I hadn't written a thing. Over a few months I frantically wrote, and ended up with a show that sold out its run. The video quality isn't great, but dammit I'm posting this clip as an "all-time great" because, to me, it is! After years of putting it off, I wrote something I was super proud of, and that had people coming up to me afterwards talking about how much it resonated with their experiences of mental ill-health. That's a hell of a thing to hear. It's not as polished as some of the things posted here (obviously), and might not technically fit the remit of the thread, but god drat to me personally it's an all-time great, largely as a reminder that I can actually get off my rear end and make something when I put my mind to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pAT8MZBxGs
