I'll never forget his poem which reduced the entire panel to tears

[@joshharris7802]

hello police officer

[@kieranwhite6647]

@joshharris7802 The way everyone is composing themselves and then lose it again at that line 😅😅

[@ryanfletcher1899]

the only negative of that poem is you can see Katherine Ryan either unable to laugh properly/show actual emotion due to her botox or that she doesn't get it and is forcing a very poor laugh

[@kieranwhite6647]

@ryanfletcher1899 She spoils it, I just wish it could have been Miles Jupp, he would have been in hysterics

[@davetaylor2645]

I've heard comics say that if you could make Sean laugh and holding his side, then that's the holey grail. Pretty much everytime Joe's been on he did that to Sean. And the poem was on another level

[@itcheebeard]

The bit where he reveals his mascot is just a bunch of nuts and bolts only for the stage lighting to come crashing down two seconds later was perfect

[@ddburrows988]

Joe was one of the few who could make Sean laugh so hard he had to hold his sides.

[@dhrenzen]

His poem when John Cooper Clarke was on was one of the funniest things ever.

[@micktre7608]

Bullshit

[@CutAndStick]

We still quote the magic bit he was talking about! "Lower the pissing winch, raise the pissing winch!", Joe's a legend.

[@kieranwhite6647]

'I said don't have an erection!' Always makes me laugh 😅

Joe Wilkinson was the glue that kept Cats version of Countdown together and alive! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@invokedbyred]

Joe's segments were what really made me want to tune in each week to watch Cats does Countdown. I don't really watch it anymore but at it's peak I always got excited when Joe was on it because of what he'd say and do when he was introduced mid-way through the show. Really funny guy.

[@theITGuy-no3nt]

I hated him at first. Silly me.

[@cookml]

You can watch the repeats there are lots of them

[@joevictor53]

[@theITGuy-no3nt]

The potato in the golf hole on Taskmaster is the best thing ever televised.

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

So heartbreaking. And real. And wickedly funny too with that sharp turn.

[@ThatCoalSoul]

The begging included by the sounds of it?!

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

"Please don't take it away from me."

[@MrBaldypete1]

"I told you not to have an erection!" has to be one of the best lines on TV ever!

[@NicksGotBeef]

Bloody love Joe, bumped into him a few time in brighton. Really miss Sean. He truly was a one in a million..

[@sstills951]

Did you speak with him? Was he nice?

[@klaythoring1326]

That muscle suit was worth it, it got huge laughs and was hilarious. I also loved when he was crazy tall up in the rafters, it’s so silly but Joe adds so much vibe to the group.

[@throttlekitty1]

I always thought Joe had free reign over a prop warehouse or something.

[@amielterence]

I remember Mortimer wasn’t too amused with that bit

[@alucide]

Always nice to come across a podcast where the people laughing are louder than the person telling the story.

[@hmarci]

I thought I was the only one bothered

[@PiglipsMaximus]

Can barely hear Joe so you need max volume then you get HAHAHAHA

[@williamkeil1367]

I'm french & I remember back at school I used to watch his stand ups and bits on countdown to learn and get used to an english accent for school. I haven't laughed more in my life, what a legend

[@braythesmall4131]

joe has to be one of the most underrated comedians, almost every bit he does is hilarious

[@callumsmith7404]

He’s one of those comedians where his own comedy shows are not that great but he shines and is absolutly hilarious on a talk show/ game show environment.

[@SirDistic]

Joe is pure chaos and we all love it. He's deadpan and so wacky.

[@graceygrumble]

4..."That's the number of times I've fallen down a well." Still makes me giggle. 😅

[@ThatCoalSoul]

I did meet Sean ...don't think I'll ever forget that encounter.

[@rachelkey3637]

Joe and Sean, always my favourite guests on the show

[@sgermain06]

Omg, that was amazing! "They don't tell me how many hoops they have to jump through to let me do what I do, and then they tell me after the fact and I feel bad about it"

[@lovelywaz]

The following unthinkable happened during his "Poem" bit.... 1- Sean Lock laughing uncontrollably while holding his sides and literally begging him, "Please Stop!" 2- Jimmy Carr totally forgot his -fake- laugh and started laughing like a real person throughout that 3 mins. 3- Katherine Ryan pretending to get the jokes and fake laughing along with others. 4- EVERYONE was in tears by the end and Jimmy visibly wiping his tears off with a tissue paper.

[@sirsluginston]

The Potato Throw Was Clean!

[@dmontes133]

I’ve watched Joe’s poem ready so many times, but I still laugh as hard, or harder, every single time. 🤣🤣🤣

[@FxcusFuture]

So nice to see Robbie get his brother on the pod!

[@UOFelucca]

That Hulk bit would be worth any amount of money, I crack up everytime I think about it. "Thats why I ripped the door of your car mate!"

[@MidStrix]

You guys got Joe Wilkinson! Absolutely amazing👏👏👏

[@jrpipik]

Please turn the guest's mic up so he's louder than the host's laughter.

[@alphomega2459]

First time I saw Joe was on him and her and I’ve followed him ever since. He’s just so naturally funny

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Popped up on Miranda as well ...as a postman which got him kinda typecast OR full-circled in After Life.

[@ryanh2934]

I know it’s Robbie that’s known for looking like joe, but Joe actually looks like the love child of Robbie and Stevie

[@oscar6890]

Sssh! They’re trying to cover that up…

[@sstills951]

I laughed my ass off on an episode of Cats Does Countdown when Jimmy Carr said that Joe looked like Rasputin. I thought to myself "That's who he looks like!". I just couldn't place who he reminded me of.

[@grand_theft_otter1068]

Can't tell you how good it feels seeing Robbie again ❤

[@charleswilkinson4458]

Him and Robbie could be brothers

[@bigmart8632]

What about Fabio? His fake bro from countdown

[@jonny4866]

Where’s his half brother Fabio

the other guy is fabio! hes let himself go a little bit but yano edit: ive just realised the other guy is robbie, fuck me i guess

Jack tweeted out he kept leaning back from the mic and had to prompt him to get closer

[@Monyornothin]

I discovered Sean Lock in a post of his last video before he passed for a charity and was like who is this guy? ( I'm American ). Subsequently I ended up binge watching like 20+ seasons of Cats Does Countdown and now really miss it! I'm a huge fan of Sean and it introduced me to British television/comedy. Joe, you are absolutely Legendary in my book! ✌️😎

THE WORD "LIKE" IS NOT A COMMA, A SPACE BETWEEN WORDS OR A FULL STOP.

Joe and Sean together were like two schoolboys mixing petrol and acetone and wondering if a spark would make a difference . What could possibly go wrong? One good reason for YT, they exist but as a performing pair are sadly missed. Great discussion.
