Black Grape - Pretty Vacant - TFI Friday.MPG

[@neilgodfrey2669]

I remember watching this live with my mate, jaws wide open, thinking “someone’s gonna get fired for this”

[@glenleon323]

Thank fck he got this shit off the air, as if he was going to cover some punks

[@saintdon4461]

unfortunately it wasnt chris evans

[@thesubhumancomedy]

Not, promoted?!!

[@fodsaks]

Who else misses the 90's really badly.

[@travellingshoes5241]

No way. 2020's been the best year ever mate.

[@ratscabies3953]

Shaun Ryder dosent miss them.......He just dosent remember them !

[@Kelly14UK]

And TV programmes, quality ones that weren't full of stupid over inflated scripts like Cracker. That's Coltrane in a photo behind Evans, just clocked it.

[@christophercooper6731]

You could hear all the words in them days.

[@chriscassam5254]

Me

[@1974Wolfie]

This really was a show of its time! Rushing home from work to watch it and watching again after getting in from the pub... Nothing like it at all these days. Love the reaction of Chris at the end of this!! Happy days :-) There's a "20 years" special of TFI this coming summer.

[@Idol2Idol]

It was brilliant at the time but the special was a let down

[@glenleon323]

It was garbage I will always thank Shaun for ending this crap show, only kiddin I never watched it because I knew it was shit it's Chris Evans

[@supersalsantos]

I remember watching it at the time because Ryder was one of the very few people left who wouldn’t / couldn’t play the media game. That weasel Evans thought he was his mate so could control him, but this is a lad from a Manchester council estate bombed out his nut on gear, so what did you expect? (slapping birds’ heads on his way down the stairs 😂) It pretty much ended live TV in the UK, and with it any chance of genuine rock’n’roll spontaneity.

[@matthewadams1874]

Nearly knocks that bird 🐦 out 😂

[@perryhunter3123]

Brilliant. TFI was great, Shaun was always a risk and that's why we loved the Mondays, Chris Evans' apology and response stuck in my mind even more than Black Grapes' cracking performance. A gem of a clip

[@glenleon323]

Where are you from Peterborough or something show was garbage

[@Idol2Idol]

Saw this as a child and loved it. TFI Friday was brilliant. It was shite when they brought it back for the one of episode though.

[@benkay8295]

I can still remember watching this live and thinking... Wow. Even funnier now

[@stevenmitchell1504]

Chris Evans finest hour -Shaun ,egged on and well refreshed (as well as ..)duly obliged -Classic and big respect to Shaun who ,unlike Chris Evans ,gets more likeable as he gets older and a bit wiser !

[@sicks6six]

when people used to time what time they went to and left the pub by what was on the television, long time back now cos telly is shite now, aint it,

[@neilgodfrey2669]

I remember they used to film something adult for the evening repeat at 11:30 so once they just flicked through every page of Danni Minogues topless calendar! Classic

[@rioclio9242]

Slaps two lasses in the way to the stage. Class act 😂😂

[@bearc5737]

Notice he didn't slap a man, because he's a pussy really.

[@nodgelyobo1]

What a little cowardly twat....Johnny Rotten would never have done that bollox..

[@bearc5737]

@Slater Slater it's not fkin equality hitting someone thats clearly weaker. That's bullying. That's like Me hitting an old lady saying well it's equality. Grow a clue

[@glenleon323]

@@bearc5737 He didn't slap that 6ft black fella, wonder why

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Yeah bit off that was

[@modifidious666]

best pistols cover ever

[@messthetics]

I remember watching this performance at teatime back in the day...tv used to be fookin great

[@johnsinclair3905]

What an insanely good performance this was. The man just didn't give a fuck. Brilliant

[@sukiafc]

Ruthless rap assassins lead and happy Mondays to form Black Grape. Never would happen now. Pure quality

[@reddevil9554]

They knew what they were getting, putting him on live like that.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Shaun Ryder! More punk than any current punk rocker is.

[@janeperkins8870]

I really LOVE Shaun Ryder, however, I can never understand a word he says. So, I bought his book. LOL

[@PWEIcom]

Which one?

[@Murdo2112]

Ask Shaun Ryder to impersonate Johnny Rotten, and then act shocked and embarassed when there's some swearing. What exactly were they expecting?

[@RunOfTheHind]

Thing is, his hair changed colour. So either the intro bit was pre-recorded or the song was.

[@jimhigham]

Ah, the 90s. I miss them so.

[@barmyarmy1967]

Classic Shaun Ryder

[@rmkw4291]

This should've been on the TFI Friday album that just came out (uncensored as well).

[@a1974h]

His daughter will be proud. Joking obviously. Shaun's a national treasure. Kuff Dam.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Dam Kuff!

[@benmaddison1022]

Can't think why he never got on stars in your eyes 😄😄😄😄

[@darrencuzz30]

Hold on, I've just realised Shaun's hair changes colour. Which means him singing wasn't live but recorded! I've seen this so many times and never noticed that before

[@dancin4045]

I was in the bar that night … the bit in the bar was pre recorded at about 5:30 pm …. Was live on tv at 6 when he walks down stairs … if you notice I am on this clip twice … yellow shirt in bar then near stage when Shaun walks past

[@andrewevansmusic3222]

@@dancin4045 Yeah, they pre-recorded the bit in bar specifically because he tended to swear in interviews! But they thought the performance would be safe going out live because it (usually) contained no swearing in the lyrics!!

[@CJFS00s]

( 5:17 ) Nah the bit in the beginning was pre-recorded, the performance was though as you can still hear them perform when Chris talks here so the performance was live!

[@lewissouthworth7568]

"What?! FUCK OFF!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@daedelous7094]

The crew were trying to warn him not to swear....didn't work.

[@gurbai9730]

I love black grape if only for making Oasis shit themselves when Sean said he would get his crew to fuck the Gallaghers up if they carried on with their attitude at a gig they were both at haha

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Liam was pretty good at getting into fights at gigs then getting his bouncers to try and finish where his mouth left off. So i hear!

[@thenewaceman]

Chris Evans knew exactly what he was doing Fairplay to him he wouldn’t of got where he is now if it wasn’t for TF I Friday and episode

[@JETJOOBOY]

Have..

[@glenleon323]

Where is he?

[@chrischarles9324]

He took the being johnnny rotten thing seriously enough to swear live on tv and create a scandal - was this pre-planned maybe?

[@jayrebelmymusic3141]

Nah that's just shaun

[@gezaddictive]

I remember this at the time - hilarious

[@charliebrogan1141]

Idiot,grow a pair ffs!

[@chump5874]

Cheers for the upload!!!

[@maryhadfad]

He slaps two women right in the fucking face.

[@maryhadfad]

***** You alright mate?

[@oakashthorn5714]

😂

[@johnclegg4993]

You mean sides of their head, was not face.

[@Gggrrrrrrrr23]

It was acceptable in the 90s

[@gurbai9730]

6.30pm on UK TV haha love it

[@lukebale8550]

Seeing Shawn Ryder here, makes me proud to be from Manchester

[@09weenic]

Really?😂

[@benkay8295]

I remember this like it was yesterday.

[@cdchantler]

“What? Fuck off !” Love it

[@TheSaz16]

I will always remember Chris's face at the end of this song!!

[@cjwhiterabbit1]

Shaun Ryder wanting to cover the Pistols ... how could this EVER be an issue for Offfcom lol

[@sikinder0341948]

I remember watching that whole thing and also Channel 4 apologising at the end of the show. The poor guy was mortified!

[@AndrewBooker-o8c]

This is what we are Celtic fans on about

[@scotslasslover]

Aye, if they had just have done one of their own songs they would have been fine! It is funny how the memory plays tricks though - I always remembered this being far swearier. Ach, I guess we lived in simpler times back then ...

[@gregbruce5601]

this cost chris evans £250,000 in a ofcom fine for the swearing before the 9pm watershed !!!!

[@J8D2]

Good. He's a tool.

[@circattle]

Speculate to accumulate.

[@Dim4323]

greg bruce fuck ofcom

[@neilgodfrey2669]

Just a weeks wages then?

[@oakashthorn5714]

😂 hope so…

[@radiobits444]

02:40 i think someone has a blackboard or sign saying dont swear

[@JDMusicify]

02:38 "WHAAA...?! FOOK OFF!!!" 😅😅😅

[@KNIGH7]

Oh, Shaun. What ARE we going to do with you?

[@HydroSnips]

lol Shaun emerges from bar and with half a minute (in his Johnny Rotten routine) cuffs two women around the head. That would get the episode banned, Shaun cancelled and Evans having to publicly chastise him in a statement and politicians shouting and the Mail struggling to decide between “ban this sick filth” and “what is the big fuss about” for their editorial. I think I preferred the 90’s, or the early Noughts. You knew where you were then :D

[@hopebgood]

Chris Evans: "We're Pretty fucking Sorry!" As funny now as it was then.

[@Paul-px9bf]

He wrote to stars in they eyes, right? ... Chris was a bell but he put them on. Big up everyone

[@christinemacleod6771]

Sean wears his heart on his self.

[@RossPatzelt]

02:36 i think a big sign saying no swearing! lol

[@Dim4323]

5:02 The look of shock on his face

[@SimonB198207]

shaun's only banned from appearing on any LIVE Channel 4 shows right? not banned altogether

[@thephilpott2194]

..Now lifted.

[@jes79a]

How many times does Sean Ryder use the f-word in this clip? I counted 6 but is it more?

[@neilgodfrey2669]

TFI Friday was the first show to give away a £1m prize. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire had just started but no one had won the jackpot yet. Chris Evans decides to hold a quiz by asking contestants questions while they stood on stage. It was ridiculous as you can blatantly hear the audience shout out answers to help them!

[@richardfleming203]

Bullshit

[@dann07666]

them early pills messed us all up wouldnt change it though :-) x

[@davidhodder9939]

loved watching tfi Friday

[@cedim620]

Living fucking legends the whole lot of em!

[@keyjd87]

Pulls shades up ...........what ..........FUCK OFF!!!!!! Haha love you Ryder ❤️

[@generalskunk6876]

that isn't the sex pistols the bassist can actually play

[@ianhitman]

Glen Matlock, the Pistols bassist, actually wrote this song.

[@markgreet3543]

And Glen could play bass very well.and sid played well on a few demos but ended up being very bad due to drugs.also Glen wrote the tune and most of the world's.but the original lyrics were don't ask us to attend were not all there don't pretend and I don't care say what you want I don't mind saves all friction and that's just fine. John changes two verse I don't believe illusion to much is real stuff your cheap comments cos we know what we feel. Great track great music this version is crap happy Monday have done decent songs but this version is a load of crap sorry

[@markgreet3543]

Sorry meant words spelling error

[@nwo4life708]

Drugs are bad okay? Lol nah they are awesome, brilliant performance, probably the best of the 90s

[@leonpfields9100]

5:26 Me card’s upside down but that’s the least of my worries at the moment…

[@hassanas-sabbagh6562]

Real shit.

[@PeaveyPV20]

Miss this show it was unpredictable but i guess the do-godders would have a field day complaining about a few swearwords now. Its odd how the boring jools holland show which is wooden and boring as hell with a annoying presenter gets aired after 10:00 whilst this with far more livelier bands and un-predulictable guests went out at 6. I hope tfi friday returns soon

[@RastaSaiyaman]

PeaveyPV20 Well every so now and then even Jools gets a band on his show that changes the game completely. Such as when At the Drive in played. Their performance was MAYHEM, ending up with band members throwing themselves, their guitars and a random chair about. After that ended, the camera turned to the next artist who was going to play which was Robbie Williams who was in total shock "How the hell am I to follow that?" and sheepishly asked if his mate could have the chair back.

[@richt1963]

This was when music tv mattered. Appointment tv. Nothing like it. Awesome every week. Chris Evans understood live youth tv. He got it and we loved it. Dangerous and unpredictable unlike the bland corporate shit that’s all about the £s & $s now. £1000s to see Taylor Swift from miles away. Think you’ve been cheated? You have!

[@frankieboyo1969]

This led to the end of whole genres of programming being broadcast before 21:00

[@neilgodfrey2669]

Frank E Davidson TFI Friday was filmed with a 30 minute delay after this

[@shellydrew100]

Funny as fuck , fuck , fuck , fuck...nice one :) fuckin' magic.......i remember seein this live on C4...fookin class :)

[@templetonpeck1]

UK TV is unrivalled

[@thenewaceman]

Best thing about it is Chris New exactly what he was doing getting Sean Rider

[@kevindonovan5670]

Never seen this before. Was listen to Bummed today and my wife said kinda sounds like PIL

[@keyjd87]

A wonder if stars in their eyes ever wrote to TFI Friday after this wonder what they would’ve said??? Now you know why we never replied back to him 😂

[@alcockell]

It was the predecessor to OFCOM that C4 were worried about.

[@dangl650]

96 was mega....... Euro’s in England. Sex Pistols back together, Oasis in their heyday.......And New Labour about to get in (There was a lot of hope after 18 Tory years)

[@Huntermoody]

Shaun looks like he’s on something ?

[@russellsims8197]

The original is more effective by not including the [oh so subversive] language. Silly boy.

[@mayhem492]

His career would have been over these days, after giving that girl a scutch!!

Fuckin words at 6pm on a Friday night.

[@PSS521]

you can't teach a fookin chicken how to clook

[@neilgodfrey2669]

Even if Shaun had sung the original lyrics he would be singing “va-CUNT” every 30 seconds.

[@leespanswick4036]

SHAUN RYDER!!!!!

[@locheeunited]

Tuuuuune...

[@StokieDave]

Its true they didn't care and by this time Shaun was absolutely wankered. He doesn't even remember the bloody words. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Chris had his head in his hands for pretty good reason. 🤣🤣🤣

Yes but hes back on the horse now .book out an a tv show comin at end of the mnth

[@andrecaldas6104]

What about "sorry" for the punches he gave on two girls faces?

[@getbetter5907]

Punches, fuck off 😂 It was a light turn of the head with a couple of fingers, and they loved it. The world had gone to shit because of people(Victims)like you.
