George Dawes Compilation

A bunch of George Dawes clips from the old Shooting Stars episodes, including songs such as Lesbians, Baked Potato (both versions) and the infamous Peanuts.

[@Amethyst_Friend]

As an 11/12 year old I could not wait for George to appear between the rounds. Like parts of Brass Eye, a bit later on in the 90's, some of his segments had me in sheer disbelief that anything could be so funny. I was rolling on the living room carpet in hysterical laughter. Class.

Vic, Bob and Matt, 3 comedy geniuses, fond memories from my childhood.

[@Bellocks1]

"Do you know what this represents?" "A hat?" "..Yes!"

[@angmering5899]

I love the bit at 7:09 where Matt *almost* composes himself... then Bob cackles in the background and sets him off again.

[@connairetreloar1978]

Fun fact, I just read bob’s autobiography, and it’s because whilst his hands were behind his back Matt flipped him off

[@HansJanus]

“Do you know there’s an awful lot of guff spoken about Snoop Doggy Dog coming from the Bronx committing violent crimes. I was actually at school with Snoop at Eaton, he was my short tennis partner, and as far as I’m concerned he was a jolly good egg” Kills me every single time 🤣

My favourite part is 7:11 he catches his breath and stands all confident thinking he has conquered the giggles and then bam

[@Lesinator]

I just love hearing the laughter in the background. Even R&M can't stop laughing at him

[@dangordon7679]

One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mikelong689]

that peanuts song is one of the funniest things I've ever seen lmfao

[@yatesy117]

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Matt Lucas, mate you're a legend for just taking the word "random" and giving it back it's true definition!

[@MultiOMFG1]

Vic Reeves losing hismind in the background of the Peanuts skit has to be the best. Poor guy looks like he can barely breathe, he's laughing so hard. LOL I dont know how they get any work done.

[@robbieballard8914]

That Gregory bit always has me in stitches.

[@simonpearn479]

The unsung hero of Shooting Stars!

[@sfoster.23]

Literally only just realised George Dawes - Marjorie Dawes

[@TheBarnem13]

yea she's George's mum!

[@kirbaash2348]

Brings back so many memories! Still makes me weep.

[@comanchio1976]

You don't realise what you've got till it's gone. The 90's were outstanding

[@mrpendleton5414]

dont see enough of matt lucas. genius. walliams gets rammed down our throats though

[@pr0ct3r0]

Mr Bainbridge I don’t know for definite but I imagine he wants it that way??

[@jacksdjfam]

Hes miles funnier and more talented than walliams

[@adamsubtract81]

Walliams has capital gums and lower-case teeth

[@cragerzz]

Walliams would love that 😈

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

Ooh, pardon!

[@Thagros]

"Gregory? Gregory? Gregory? GREGORY, YOU SLAG!!!!!" Lmfao. I need a mate called Gregory.

[@sienc74]

Mark Lamar losing it in the background at 1:25

[@andym28]

I saw this bloke ordering when i had a Saturday job in Burger King 1998 during the Edinburgh festival. He tried to dress inconspicuously in a flat cap and matching tweed outfit. He looked like an extra from Oliver. I shouted out "What Are The Scores George Dawes!" Red faced, he tried to order a DBL Whopper Cheese Meal. We then spent about 10 minutes imitating him. Ended up just giving him extra onion rings and some pastry cinnamon swirls after I did a drum solo rendition of John Bonhams Rock n Roll on the counter tops. He ate the lot on his own the legend.

[@stevedawson8017]

My favourite bit is when he breaks into Flava in that first song and you can see Mark Lamarr just pissing himself at the desk behind him.. 😂

[@colummccrudden101]

Making Lamarr laugh should be an Xbox Achievment

[@lawfvader6]

Gregory...Gregory...Gregory...GREGORY YOU SLAG. I screamed out aloud when I head that lol

[@Madnote77]

5:52 Absolutely brilliant

[@MankeyFrankie]

Hahaha at 1:53 he looks more like Anne Robinson from Weakest Link or even Anne Widdecombe! All the Annes basically.

[@JoshMaverick20]

Matt Lucas is an absolute genius

[@xandmatt]

I see you, Mark Lamarr - breaking character in the background.

[@DaveDexterMusic]

+Aston Piras you are a man of wise words, i could not agree more, this show and matt lucas in general leaves me in tears just looking at the guy. Incredible actor and even better person.

[@pdj8484]

The soup rant from 6:03 onwards always cracks me up!

[@vicsaul5459]

Where's me frigging soup 🍲 06:03

[@LyingSecret]

5:52 Makes me cry with laughter, no idea why, just the combo of the uniform, the face, the voice and the ridiculous stuff coming out of his mouth :D

[@resouris]

Gutted that it doesn't include the first time I saw him - "Georgies Dawes, what's the word of the day? SLAG!"

[@rambledogs2012]

That last bit was 'George Dawes' putting his hands behind his back and sticking V's up at Vic & Bob. Note the beginnings of 'Andy' from Little Britain.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Need a poll for which is best... Peanuts vs baked potato vs lesbians For me it's lesbians, just

[@probablecausetocheckhard-drive]

ChubbyChecker182 lesbians

[@bigal640]

Nah baked potato

[@rossmcbride9863]

ChubbyChecker182 peanuts 🥜

[@leeball4585]

Lesbians is a beautifully crafted piece of work

[@phuckaducker5070]

Gotta be peanuts. All the corpsing and everyone cracking up makes it the funniest imo.

[@1978rharris]

5:52 is a stroke of pure genius

His genius will be missed in the new series.

‘He was my short tennis partner.’ The story about Snoop Dogg was sublime!

[@andrewpalmer9903]

6:03 😂 possibly not the most accurate, but definitely best scouse accent I've heard

[@rebs832]

I would watch this show purely to see what George would do when he came on.

[@Tweeterandthemonkeyman]

"Alice! Take the Eccles cake out of ya arse, put it back on the table! Our children must eat!"

[@sirtinley-knot2944]

watched baked potato 4 times. pissed myself everytime! 😂

[@gilwillia]

Peanuts had to be inspired by the guy on the North Bank who would go round shouting “Peanuts!!” (Matt’s a big Gooner).

[@davidjames579]

It looks like Andy from Little Britain

[@pianoshaun7147]

When he tells the Snoop Dogg story, his voice sounds like Griff Rhys Jones.
