Comedy is a great weapon of attack. It's not a great weapon of support.
Well, comedy is a great weapon of attack. It's not a great weapon of support.
I wanted to be less well-known in comedy.
They tend to come out a colour called 'Pants left in wash'
I wanna live 'til I die, no more, no less.
The bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of drama is to be truthful. You can be truthful and funny, but if you're not truthful in a drama than the audience leaves you.
He was a genius. To think all these years on his comedy is still making us laugh

We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Yeah, just sail around the world and stick a flag in. - I claim India for Britain!They go, - You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!- Do you have a flag?- We don't need a bloody flag! It's our country, you bastards!- No flag, no country, you can't have one! That's the rules that I've just made up, and I'm backing it up with this gun that was lent from the National Rifle Association.
It's a historical thing, up to the 19th century the English hated the French. Then in the 20th century the English started to hate the Germans - as we began to move alphabetically through the map of the world. Now, the year 2000, we are fine with the Germans... but the Hungarians are pissing us off.
Honey bees are amazing creatures. I mean, think about it, do earwigs make chutney?
