The thing that makes Gregg's impression so funny is that it is actually accurate. Chris Eubank was a world-champion boxer with a lisp and a high-pitched voice who often said "I wasn't a fighter, I was a pugelist".

[@Worstestvideos]

I wouldn’t say it’s accurate 😂 it’s similar though. You’d have to be pretty stupid and/or deaf if you closed your eyes and couldn’t tell who was talking out of Greg or Chris

[@jakeclough8090]

It’s not accurate at all 😂 he’s got the lisp right maybe but everything else is horrible

[@SpeccyMan]

There's no e in pugilist, with or without a lisp. 😁😉

[@TheycallmeMrWonka]

I think that's wishful thinking there, mate. That was NOT and acurate impression. The humour is in the fact it has a tiny resemblence but is far from it.

"attacking the city of Tokyo" is because Greg Davies is massive like some huge godzilla monster lol. Love that joke.

19:06 Sean says “He sounds like compare the meerkats” They are a series of commercials for insurance in the UK. All the characters are Meerkats which all have Russian accents. It is a bit weird but proven to be very popular. Chris Eubank was a professional boxer who has a distinctive voice and a lisp. There is a video where they get Greg to do it again only for Chris Eubank to suddenly walk on stage. As you can imagine the reaction is great.

Neil Gaiman, the author of Sandman, American Gods and Coraline to name a few said of Jonathon Ross, he's the only celebrity he'd ever met who was the exact same person in the flesh as he is on TV.

This has been said a million times, but Cats Does Countdown makes absolutely no sense in clip form, if you want to understand the show. Watch a full episode. It's the same with Taskmaster. If all you are watching is out of context 23 second clips, it's just confusing.

[@iainamurray]

At a later show they get Greg to do it again and then brought the actual Chris Eubank onto the show. V funny. Also, the bit about attacking Tokyo is referring to him being the size of Godzilla

[@davidsuratgar1139]

You haven't checked out Bill Bailey yet! He is awesome, multitalented! My girlfriend laughed so hard of me laughing at a Bill Bailey stand-up show, that she got an hernia, no kidding! Even tweeted with Bill Bailey from the hospital when she had surgery!

You’re absolutely spot on about if Sean Lock finds something funny you know someone has done something right. This is even eluded to in the Sean Lock tribute show.

[@rickb.4168]

You need to look up Greg’s second impression of him on 8ootcdcd

[@barriehull7076]

Christopher Livingstone Eubank (born 8 August 1966) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 1998. He held the WBO middleweight and super-middleweight titles between 1990 and 1995. He reigned as world champion for over five years, was undefeated in his first ten years as a professional, and remained undefeated at middleweight. His world title contests against fellow Britons Nigel Benn and Michael Watson helped British boxing ride a peak of popularity in the 1990s, with Eubank's eccentric personality making him one of the most recognisable celebrities of the period. His son with the same name is Christopher Livingstone Eubank Jr. (born 18 September 1989) he is a British professional boxer. He has held multiple championships in two weight classes, including the WBA interim middleweight title twice between 2015 and 2021; the IBO super-middleweight title twice between 2017 and 2019; and the British middleweight title in 2016.

You should see if you can find 'Man Down', it is Greg's sitcom which loosely follows his time as a teacher. Its good, odd but good.

[@helvete983]

Especially the first season with Rik Mayall. Also Rosin Conarty's character is an absolute delight, every line she delivers is just perfect. And the way she does the part where her uncle died by lobster, omg genius.

[@markwilliamson2864]

Chris Eubank is a former world champion British boxer of the 80’s and 90’s, but the way he styles himself is as a fop or a dandy of the 17th or 18th centuries, monocle and all. He loves to play along with the personal ridicule he gets for comic effect.

[@helvete983]

Not to mention what a damn good boxer he was. He played arrogant but backed it up in the ring.

[@rickb.4168]

It was ‘ PRIME VAG’ as in Vagina. Near the beginning.

[@ChrisJones-we4in]

The guy who was hoping to spell out testes is called Paul Foot. Another really funny comedian whose mind veers off into the random and weird. Well worth checking out some of his stand up stuff

[@ComaDave]

Another Greg Davies awesome bit is him on The Graham Norton Show, with Jodie Foster, Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. Gosling ends up in some distress. 😂 Give it a look. Greg Davies' quote sources: 1. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". - the opening line from Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" novel. 2. "Shall I compare Thee to a Summer's day?" - Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare. 3. De Niro's mirror monologue from "Taxi Driver" 4. Clint Eastwood from "Dirty Harry" (when Greg goes off at Sean) 5. Russell Crowe's reveal to the Emperor in "Gladiator" (that Greg fails utterly), and 6. His last retort to Jimmy is "If thou wert my fool, I'd have thee whipped for being old before thy time", which is a slight paraphrasing from Shakespeare's "King Lear".

The attacking Tokyo is in reference to Greg Davies being 6'8" tall and huge..😂

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

I like Jonathan Woss, or Wossy, as some I've heard one of the British comedians refer to him as. But I didn't know him until I went down the British panel show rabbit hole (awesome that you call it the same exact thing). But I'm really a fan of Graham Norton and Alan Carr. But I came across Graham first and foremost - before any of the panel shows - because of my own idol Cher. I was looking for Cher interviews on KZbin, and came across older ones on Graham's older show from the early 2000s which led to the newer one, from there I came across other comedians who I looked up on KZbin, saw clips of them on panel shows, fell in love with panel shows.

[@danielgardecki1046]

*Jonathan Ross* is a legend. *Friday Night with Jonathan Ross* was easily the best talk show. *Alan Carr: Chatty Man* was the 2nd best talk show. His other shows *Friday Night Project/Sunday Night Project* and *Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong* were also quality. *So Graham Norton* and *V Graham Norton* were average talk shows. *The Graham Norton Show* was also average, which is why it was on *BBC Two.* *Jonathan Ross* and *Russell Brand* made some phone calls to comedic actor *Andrew Sachs* about Russell sleeping with his granddaughter for a laugh, but Sachs didn't find it funny like they expected. *The Graham Norton Show* was then moved to *BBC One* in October 2009, and *Jonathan Ross* announced he would be leaving the *BBC* in July 2010, no doubt because he thought the *BBC* weren't as supportive as he wanted them to be following the Sachs controversy, and most likely thought that them moving *The Graham Norton Show* to *BBC One* too was a tactic to push him out. So he moved to *ITV* and *Graham Norton* took *Jonathan Ross'* slot on *BBC One.* Now, partly because most Americans and younger Brits online are ignorant, and partly because older Brits have short memories, *ITV* shows are largely ignored online, even though *ITV* was the most popular UK network until the early 2000s, is the 2nd most popular UK network today, and has the 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th most popular channels in the UK. If *Jonathan Ross* was still at the *BBC* he would still have the best show, as he is clearly head and shoulders above *Graham Norton* as an interviewer.

19:25 Compare the meerkats … it’s an advert for an insurance comparison website called, “Compare the market”, featuring stuffed toy meerkats from Romania. Hence they speak English with a weird accent, as you would if you were a stuffed toy. Their famous catchphrase follows on from an explanation of some new feature of the website, “Simples!”. The meerkats have flown all over the world to demonstrate aspects of insurance and now there are baby meerkats, too. So, if you here a Brit say, “Simples!”, this is what it’s from … and they’re silly as they’re promoting an insurance company advert … even Boris has used this in a speech about covid during the pandemic.

Jonathan Ross is pretty beloved in the UK, his chat show was the number #1 prime time chat show before Graham Norton, from around 1995 to 2010 he was the top dog in UK chat shows with the best guests and music acts. Around 2008 Graham Norton, who had been around for a while, started to get bigger guests and he also got syndicated in the US (the first UK chat show host to do so) and so he exploded in popularity and replaced Jonathan.

[@Craigy2818]

I like Jonathan Ross. He has made some poor choices in his time but he's definitely not bad. He's very open minded to things, also, and advocated for British version of RuPaul's Drag Race because it was campy, funny and creative and felt the UK needed variety like that.

[@argieav]

Jonathan Ross started out in the mid 1980s on British TV with a show called 'The Last Resort' and it stood out I think from the usual fare of chat shows at the time which were very formal, and it had a more anarchic mix - it borrowed/stole heavily I think also from David Lettermans show in the US. Since then he's been a constant pretty much - I think he is o.k - he and Russell Brand got into some bother a few years back for insensitive remarks about a comic actor Andrew Sachs, much ado about nothing it was really. Im more for him than against him I guess.
