"I don't know why I ate that cigarette," LOL from smeg ups ! !

[@Mugruncher]

It was so badass tho

[@Spider-Man2094]

"chin absent presumed missing" XD I'm so glad this show is coming back.

[@taliaalghul9224]

So am I! I can't wait to see them all again!

[@Spider-Man2094]

Red Dwarf XI was confirmed.

[@taliaalghul9224]

I can't wait! I want to see it now!

[@Spider-Man2094]

Red Dwarf X is the most recent one, has that aired in America yet?

[@toomanyaccounts]

Erik Lehnsherr Its on Hulu Plus

[@epiendless1128]

"Bred from the domestic house-cat and about half as smart." Cracking.

[@JacobFury]

Greatest show ever!!!!!! I like how he rolls his "R" in "spoiling for a Rrrumble."

[@paulonius42]

I had to look up this smeg-up after you mentioned it, and it's hilarious! I think it's a great moment, seeing Craig Charles reacting to his own acting--he's a bit surprised at himself for eating the cigarette! But it's such a LISTER thing to do somehow; it's a nice reminder that Lister always was a scrapper.

[@charlescox290]

Well, he wasn't going to let it just fall to the ground and get wasted, and just putting it back in the pack wasn't going to be intimidating or fast enough.

[@jonathannelson103]

I just now noticed that. Like, hey did he just eat that?

[@jameshindle784]

Wasn't a smeg up. It was an episode

[@paulonius42]

@jameshindle784 There is a smeg up for this scene in this episode, which is what I referenced.

[@bpGMRcom]

I love how he eats his cigarette.

[@Wook13]

"Displays Evidence of Spoiling for a rumble" classic line :)

[@SpecterKnight638]

i still can't believe Lister ate that Cigarette

[@UCUCUC27]

he did that himself said ?"it was a laugh we wer bored" in the scene where they cross the burning lake they wer given rum to fight the cold and Lister had the crew row towards the fire and he lit a cig with it lol

[@NateSean]

He actually did. Craig Charles still doesn't know why.

[@hopebateman2764]

Anyone got the video to the clip where he says that at the end? I don't know why its so hard to find 😅

[@BYERE]

Hope Bateman He only says it on the outtake version (the Smeg-Ups, as they called it)

[@jimmy2k4o]

Nathanielle Crawford cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[@ospididious]

I love how he just chews up the cigarette.

[@Bikutolu]

"Lister too red dwarf, the intruder seems blisfully unawere that we have a rather sturdy HOLOWHIP, in the inmuniton cabinet, and unless he whant's his deider minced like BURGER MEAT, he better be history in two seconds FLAT!"

[@nathanielpillar8012]

*munitions

[@richardsavings6690]

Derrière

[@disinegrato5133]

me and my buddies used to chew cigarettes to fake sick, so I can only imagine what he was going through. Mad respect for improving that

[@TYNEPUNK]

One of the best lister scenes, though there are too many to list.

[@WizFizz]

Just figured that the Holographic crewman "Binks" was the prime minister in a few episodes of the David Tennant era of Doctor Who.

[@Stratboy999]

@ Rising Damp, you mean. Don Warrington. Proper Thespian type.

[@jimmy2k4o]

President actually It was a republican Britain in an alternate universe.

[@leftcoaster67]

He was also on Rising Damp.

[@C_0_D_E1]

He also played Lord President Rassilon in the Big Finish Dr Who audio adventures

[@Spider-Man2094]

This scene is hilarious.

[@singthesorrow13]

one of the funniest scenes ever!!! ahhhh they'll never beat red dwarf for good solid british comedy!!

[@SeanCwilich]

It was funny when Lister made those remarks when he was talking into his cigarette box.

[@nathanielpillar8012]

ok

[@paulonius42]

I love it! I've missed watching Red Dwarf (and I'm so glad there are new episodes coming). This is Dwarf at its best! And it's definitely one of Craig (Lister) Charles's best moments. Thanks for posting!

[@themightyhawks]

This is my favourite scene of all time

[@finnmcool2]

You've got to admit, the guy had it coming.

[@jaybo197306]

Proper red dwarf

[@Planetwatts]

One of the best Red Dwarf moments of all.. "Lister to Red Dwarf, we have in our midst a complete smeg pot!" XD lmfao

[@jo123phoebe]

OMG I love the way Lister just EATS the cigarrette!!! *NOM!* hahahahaha

[@jameshumphreys9715]

It is one my favourite screen in red drawf, I like how, craig Charles says, "tumbling"

[@peterlaws444]

+James Humphreys Do you mean at 1:33 ? If so he says 'rumble' which is slang for a fight.

[@jameshumphreys9715]

Peter Laws that makes sense, it sounds more a t or a th to me than a r

[@terminalfrost3645]

I know this comment is old but just come across this video, it sounds like a th because he rolled his R. Also in liverpool people pronounce their Rs(unless first or last letter) as a th(th in the), great becomes gtheyt

[@abandonedrocketship]

Glad that this came up when I searched for "Lister eats cigarette," because this is the exact scene I needed

[@Nebagram]

I love the smeg ups tape of this episode- 'I dunno why I fucking well ate that cigarette...'

[@bigmetroidfan1263]

Lister to Red Dwarf! Intruder seems to be blissfully unaware that we have a rather sturdy holowhip, in the munition cabinet. And unless he wants his derriere minced like burger meat, he better be history in two seconds flat.

[@RapidAssaultEuro]

Binks is the police commissioner on the show Death in Paradise and The Cat is Dwayne.

[@Djarra]

Dwayne Dibley is in a carribean police force?

[@MoskHotel]

He was also the President of England from Doctor Who. No really, that was from an episode in “Pete’s World”.

[@Razgar_Voxel]

from what I looked up Danny John-Jules plays Dwayne Myers in Death in Paradise the first name of Dwayne is probably just a coincidence.

[@hotdog1214]

I've not seen any evidence but it makes me happy to think that a writer on Death in Paradise named him Dwayne as a Red Dwarf in-joke, that's how I'm imagining it until I am told otherwise. 😁

[@davidcoleman757]

Some great lines in this episode, my favourite being 'You make love like a Japanese meal: small portions but so many courses.'

[@Tim_3100]

chronological age mid 20's physical age 47 and the other line i like is the bit where he also turns around and say's with careful pummeling could be possibly be sucking tomorrows lunch through a straw brillant scripting.

[@martywild8200]

One of the best all time RD scenes!

[@playfulpippapony]

I've used some of Lister's line in this as insults in real life. They worked too, they scarpered quicker than you could say 'smeghead'.

[@spiritminer4016]

I'm curios, which lines?

[@yobbopreset5628]

Smegpot is still a classic insult.

[@borgduck]

The funniest moment in the entire episode, & that guy from Rising Damp, too!!!

[@thegatorhator6822]

First time I watched this some 11 or so years ago I didn't notice him eat the cigarette, I thought he just grasped it in his teeth. I did watch it with much less clarity though, on damaged old tapes lmao

[@strugglingchildofgod7791]

one of my fav scenes from the entire series

[@adrianchatman5734]

The greatest scene in Red Dwarf!😅😅😅

[@paultrought267]

A Hidden Gem.

[@MrMegaManFan]

The outtakes are great. Craig Charles says "I don't know why the **** I ate that."

[@thfreakinacage]

To this day this remains one of my absolute favourite scenes in any TV/Film, ever :)

[@tolchok89]

I can update your knowledge even further -this episode is series 5, Legion is series 6. The difference is that Rimmer's uniform is blue when he's in hard light mode, but red in soft light mode (personally, I prefer his green uniform).

[@Louise15Brett]

legendary scene

[@richtea615]

Pure gold! Nothing beats British humour!

[@WarBerJr02]

Lister has a some experience dealing with smeg-pot holograms...

[@OpinionParade]

The High Evolutionary [MCU], kinda shares a personality with Binks, haha. Quite similar.

[@jonnyenglish7771]

i came here to see the cigarette :)

[@brollona3948]

Pure gem.

[@DarthTaiter79]

I just love Red Dwarf!

[@Oblee]

Masterpiece.

[@valjean76]

For this scene I love Lister.

[@tolchok89]

Yes, when he was in soft light mode. He can be switched between soft light and hard light, but only brings out hard light for emergencies.

[@jackshea6722]

loved this show best ever

[@LeePrototype]

this is one of my favorite scenes ever x)

[@applemask]

Displays evidence of SPOILING FOR A RUMBLE

[@CelticSaint]

Chap from Rising Damp. Can't recall his name.

[@garywiffin8644]

Don Warrington

[@CelticSaint]

Thanks.

[@anonb4632]

And he's a closet Geordie. Took elocution lessons!

[@HooDlymUK]

i think I heard on some commentary track craig charles actualy eats that ciggarette in that scene

[@MatthewDavidParr]

I love this part.

[@richtea615]

I knew I'd seen him someplace before!

[@AubreySciFi]

One of my favorite scenes! :)

[@hunteranubis]

this is like the best scene :D

[@singleplayermoments]

Ahh is that right? Thanks, I never thought about that.

[@FratAsh]

@matt parr - "we have in our midst a complete smegpot" - not sure if anyone has answered you yet.

[@T0pel]

one of my favorite scenes!

[@TYNEPUNK]

absolutely hilarious

[@starcrafter13terran]

Sometimes you just gotta eat a cigarette to stress your point.

[@tolchok89]

He doesn't get the hard light drive until the episode "Legion", which is after this episode.

[@bomma2694]

♥ ♥ 😔 The best and funniest show EVER made 😔 ♥

[@03reayc]

binks is the name of the hologram, you are thinking of the fresh prince.

[@Hannah_Em]

Lister to red dwarf - displays evidence of spoiling for a rumble!

[@WardyLion]

Season 5, episode 1 - Holoship :-)

[@jo123phoebe]

60g that makes it even BETTER!!! GO CRAIG CHARLES!! HAhahahahaah!!! xx

[@darksheik282]

very funny scene lol 'smeg-pot' XD

[@foshizzle1337]

Yeah he left frankinstein when he got frozen, she is seen as the virgin mother. The cat also had a companion this priest who died I think in the first series. All the other cats left on a great mission to find fiji or fujal as they call it.

[@craggers]

He is indeed

[@singleplayermoments]

Not necesserily. He also had a red uniform in Gunmen of the Apocalypse. :P

[@creekstar7]

yeah! I remember that!

[@SirCraigius]

Spoiling for a rrrrumble! XD

[@graemeconnelly8849]

Is that the commissioner from death in paradise

[@alexojideagu]

Yup

[@vintagearisen]

That's probably one of those things that you don't want to end up having to do as an actor. Looks freaking awesome, though.

[@vampy8334]

CLASSIC!

[@quasarsphere]

I thought that also.

[@ElveeKaye]

I want Cat's jacket!

[@gamewizard7562]

Don Warrington from Rising Damp!

[@Cynthia_Cantrell]

I hope those were the bubble gum cigarettes.

[@celestialdolphin9029]

Can't wait for the new series'!

[@tolchok89]

Lister to Red Dwarf: Displays evidence of spoiling for a rrroomble! XD LOL I don't know if it's what he says or how he says it.

[@CountTentacula]

Isn't it the descendant of one of the kittens that Lister's first cat gave birth to?

[@omp199]

Quite likely more than one of them!

[@skinnypuppyulike]

@SweetWhiskerz Yeah I use "goit" regularly, and I don't think this word existed before the show. Great word. I've always been a huge fan of "git" too.

[@CountTentacula]

Nor have I, this is what I've read from Wikipedia.

[@vegeta0123]

It is

[@Jiemusu89]

@SweetWhiskerz Oh I still use words like smeg as swear words, even today, you're not alone lol.

[@MP245]

wolfieraps

[@WOTArtyNoobs]

Craig Charles said afterward that chewing the cigarette was a big mistake. It tasted awful!

[@poopcom001]

gah any1 no another link to this i need this vid for my page

[@MatthewDavidParr]

What does lister say at the beginning? "xxxx to complete smeg-pot"

[@fedarik9484]

we have in our midst a complete smegpot

[@mozdren]

He ate cigarette... great :D (2:06)

[@paulwartenberg8479]

I know why Lister ate that cigarette. In any fight, ALWAYS... ALWAYS be CRAZIER than the son-of-a-bitch you're gonna pummel.

[@danielbyrne5402]

if you watch angels and demons they actually do have a holowhip

[@jackcogi9586]

ohhh i just picked something up years later he said they know the cat race so one of the cat arks that took off actually found a home

[@Louise15Brett]

[@TheJavierbro]

[@hr9833]

When i close my eyes... All i can hear is Jamie Carragher and Shaka Hislop
