Bill Oddie Is No Longer a Comedian, He’s Not Even Close

[@AnnDrogyne]

I remember in 70s as kid, kids and adults loved The Goodies. They were one of the top shows. And the cat sketch is a classic. 😂😂😂

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

You're referring to Kitten Kong, of course. The episode so nice, they effectively made it twice. 🙂 As for Bill Oddie, he's had many bouts of depression over the years, and he might actually be bipolar too. And while it might not excuse some of his abrasive behaviour towards fans, it does explain it to a degree. 🤔

[@geoffwright9570]

Remember bill from the goodies and before that in a radio program called I'm sorry I'll read that again. He was a comedian of his time and enjoyed watching and listen to him.

[@TeddyBoy1962]

Before the comedy career, he also released a few records on Parlophone and Decca (followed by others) starting in 1964 with a "protest" song berating the damage/vandalism done my Mods & Rockers when they clashed in (mainly) seaside towns. This was titled; "nothing better to do". A later release and arguably his best was; " I cant get through" in which his vocals sound not unlike Gene Pitney. It had a "big sound" backing.

[@jibjab351]

Bill was born in ROCK-DALE, near where Fred Flintstone lived.

[@richardkell4888]

Hey .... Rokdale .... gotta get me down there n check it out sometime ! Bloody idiots ....

[@royjudson4380]

If it wasn't for Bill , i would never of took up the Martial Art of "Ecky Thump"

"Bill Oddie's alive and well! Well, he's alive."

[@CricketEngland]

The Goodies also voiced the series “Banana Man”

[@Shimmy246]

He was always the least funny goodie. Saw them all at a charity football match in the ‘70’s. Tim and Graham both stopped to give autographs to us kids after but Bill walked, or rather stomped away looking really pissed, didn’t say a word just got in his car. Miserable sod.

[@malcolmrich9227]

Many years ago i served him in London, he was very rude and arrogant. Wouldn't take his change and told me " you need it more than I do".

[@witterth]

yeah somewhat of as TW *t as I seem to recall GG& TBT were not. there it is.

[@Official_Rz]

Sounds more like you're arrogant than he is.

[@DrRock2009]

“Rotschdale”, not Rockdale, FYI.

[@clivemacken552]

It’s actually Rochdale lol

[@briandouglas2123]

And his name is Oddie, not Aahdy

[@delboyoelmundo4718]

We had the unfortunate experience of seeing him on Tresco Channel Islands , someone approached him and he used the F off word at some one who was just being friendly to him , horrible little man

[@snarkybuttcrack]

Telling silly people who approach unasked to fuck off seems pretty normal to me

[@delboyoelmundo4718]

@@snarkybuttcrack IYAO

[@piper081147]

I also had an unfortunate experience with him on Euston Station a number of years ago. He bowled up to me at right angles and just shoved me out of his way. No acknowledgement that I even existed. Ignorant in the extreme. He's been Bill Odious as far as I'm concerned ever since.

[@richardkell4888]

How upsetting, he needs to remember its the viewing public that put him where he is. Personally I'm not keen on him at all, his voice irritates and I never thought the Goodies were funny, just 'filler'. Only my own personal opinion.

[@robertwoolstencroft5946]

In 1949 Greater Manchester did not exist it came into being in 1974 mores the pitty Rochdale is in Lancashire and always has been.

[@clivemacken552]

Still is as long far as I am concerned

[@paulinecoburn181]

Where exactly is Rockdale 🤔

[@StephenRansley]

bill has made me laught since the goodies what a funny show and i stll feed the birds thank you bill you should be nighted

[@stevenoates5333]

He was and never will be one

[@JohnKerr-bq3vo]

I recall meeting the Goodies and Oddie ( small guy! ) in Kings Lynn ,Norfoklk way way back in the early 70's... they wanted to make a show whereby excavators had taken over the world and were fighting.. my friend was head of Orenstein and Koppel at the time and they filmed in a quarry with their excavation equipment.. funny at the time but probably dated by now.... seemed a little introvert to me back then... haha...

[@royjudson4380]

Black Pudding Bertha is still in my daily Playlist , 'E' by Gum

[@petejones879]

I remember him in a comic radio show called At last the 1948 show

[@CricketEngland]

Get your facts right Bill was in “I’m sorry I’ll read that again” “At last the 1948 show” was never on the radio it was a TV show

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

The late Tim Brooke-Taylor was the main Goodie in that, actually, with Bill appearing in smaller roles. 😉

[@DavidClarke-lg2mb]

Just brilliant ,they do notget😢. That goooody these days

Lithium is a pure element and is prescribed for very deep depression.

Make me laugh Rochdale how he says it just makes me laugh

[@lindahennah2903]

Well it went on for 10 years so thay got something right how about you

[@kingkong81icloud]

He never was a comedian ?

[@Buckmonster13]

My wife came across him at a Barrett’s show house opening in the late 70s…and has loathed ever since. Rude, arrogant offensive and generally obnoxious.

[@madmeister407]

The goodies were sort of funny as a trio, but individually they were about as funny as a dose of the pox.

[@peterfeltham5612]

Was he EVER a comedian.

[@rjkism]

to be fair he never was

[@DannyBhoy88]

None of this lot were funny, a ridiculously unfunny rip off of python. How they even got on tv with that rubbish is beyond a joke, no pun intended. Awful !!!!

[@alancrisp1582]

🥱 Just calm down Karen and smell the petrol ⛽ fumes. !. I can see that you must be the life of any party 🎉 Not !!!...😮

[@patricka.crawley6572]

They could write comedy. Graeme Garden is a very funny radio character. Tim Brooke-Taylor was a very light-hearted chappie. Bill Oddie just like Michael Bentine: eccentrics

[@geraldstafford2240]

3 proper pricks.

[@charlessouthgate606]

I found the Goodies hard to laugh at, mediocre stuff.

[@charlessouthgate606]

Quite liked Bill on Springwatch etc but obviously clashed with Kate notsohumble.

[@folkmoot36]

He got kicked off the TV because he wouldn't go woke.

[@keithdeley7236]

He was crap in the goodies, he was crap in wildlife programs basically he was a crap all rounder.

[@Wizard-uo4wj]

well said

[@johmharding520]

[@trucker5722]

Never any good as a comedian and even worse as a tv presenter.

'Comedian'

[@daviddavies2945]

Never was one.

[@CricketEngland]

You obviously don’t know much about Comedy do you, must be a fan of Birds of the Feather

[@highdownmartin]

I think that says more about you than it does about Bill Oddie. I’m now off to take my oyster for walkies

Luvvie lunacy never did equate to great comedy,@@CricketEngland

[@daviddavies2945]

Sounds like you belong in a similar mental institution to Oddie.@@highdownmartin

[@CricketEngland]

Bill was actually a very good comedy song writer in the late 60/70’s and actually quite a good singer Search KZbin for “Bill Oddie I can’t get through”

he never was funny ffs

[@patrickpatrick1733]

I never found 'The Goodies' remotely entertaining, let alone funny. Silent movie style slapstick mingled with forced zany childish antics simply leave me with a mixture of cringe and embarrassment, much like watching circus clowns. Don't even get me started on overtly contrived 'look at me I'm a jolly little chap' Bill Noddy.🥱🤮 Jus' sayin'
