I've loved them since the start, but I still can't get enough of them. It's always a treat when I find something with them in that I haven't seen before.

[@lordsalisbury1]

Bob must really like that jacket, he wears it on every single episode of all 3 series of Gone Fishing, and he's wearing it here.

[@guitarmatricide4834]

I noticed that as well! I’m American and when I saw his right sleeve, I was wondering why it was The Stars and Stripes and not The Union Jack. Maybe he has an American friend who’s in the U.S. army or something?

[@sianwarwick633]

He looks like Alan Alda from MASH in it

[@gromitpesley]

Also in all the gadget man episodes and task master episodes

[@wesleyashworth5061]

@@guitarmatricide4834nah it’s just a Ralph Lauren jacket. I have one similar so I know

[@Simple-dad793]

He really is salt of the earth .

[@birth0fserpents]

the two funniest men on earth. never clicked on anything so fast

[@84Elenai]

I love Bob, I am so glad they are back and I really hope to see them live too. Come to Italy, you have a fan base over here too, guys.

[@garyfenlon5769]

A lot of the members of bands i love, and actors in comedys i love can't or couldn't stand each other and it always makes me sad, but the fact that Vic & Bob genuinely like each other makes me love their work together even more!!

[@bearheart2009]

Ikr, i sometimes wonder what they get up to when theyre just hanging out. I guess it would be inhumane to have cameras trained on them at all times.

[@garyfenlon5769]

If you search on KZbin for "Vic and Bob's afternoon delights" that is pretty much what you get, just Vic & Bob with a camera messing about, and BTW it's VERY FUNNY!!!

[@Robhalifax]

[@pizzapunk8816]

nothing has ever made me laugh as much as these two,

[@PhoenixWright101]

I loved House of Fools. I wish they'd made more episodes.

[@tonymaddison]

didnt commission another series, yet Not Going Out keeps on reappearing. Theres no justice in the World

[@johngreenwood1972]

Yes to both of you. Brilliantly ridiculous.

[@rickoneillable]

Couldn’t get into it tbh, but I love Night Out and the Smell of R and M.

[@MLB9000]

I torn really because, like they said, nobody really interferes with them and they can do what they want. If they suddenly became super popular and went 'mainstream' with six/seven series of everything and huge ratings that would all change. I just love the fact that they've stayed largely just under the radar, yet popular enough to get onto tv in the first place.

[@PhoenixWright101]

@@MLB9000 Yes, of course. But I believe they wanted to make more, it's just that, as Tony said above, the BBC didn't commission any more episodes. I think that concept had plenty more fun left in it, and it's a shame it ended so soon.

[@MatsMovieReviews]

This is such a joy ! I absolutely adore vic and bob and I can’t believe it was 30 years ago I sat and watched then after my shift when I lived in my little flat on a Friday night 😂 😂😂

[@bearheart2009]

More Vic & Bob please BBC!

[@0DJKORUPT0]

Bob admitted to calling ian Lee's radio show lol

[@jacksonbrown4112]

Those were epic!

[@s.k.393]

Wonderful people. Really hope we see a lot more of their work; as they say, they're more like artists in the tradition of Gilbert & George. Long live Reeves & Mortimer!

[@quaid667]

Benny and Bjorn are such lovely lads.

[@markcotterill4430]

Hell Drivers! Excellent film, it's my favourite too

[@misfit2022]

The last of the great double acts showing “you can do it if you really want.”

[@Ripplin]

He's right about Hell Drivers. Great one!

Phil Jupitus has let himself go.

I don't have any carpet in my place. I do have a cabinet, though.

[@SpitfireCGI]

Very funny ..if ya don't like it ...sssh be quiet and press another you tube button..go on...gerrof

Would prefer shooting stars....or a fresh pie.

[@bustedfender]

I hear Bob’s nephew is right fast at running.

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

Me and my 2 sons they were about {11 and 7 at the time} used to role the floor laughing at Big Night Out and my poor wife { who had little or at least different at leat sense of humor } just stood watching us with a puzzled expresion every week, Ah happy days. The seer pleasure of going down, very gently while saying "Oh Vic, I've fallen" with people who understood what "localized chaffing" meant was great lol

[@Maxbev14]

I found it asinine and simply unfunny. What on earth am I missing? I want to believe BBC 4 has a reason for this.

[@BimblorBingus]

Oliver McErlean ok

[@stevehunt914]

Don't worry i fully understand how you can miss it, they are very surreal. I get it.... big time,.. but cant explain. I love these 2 guys, they make me laugh at the speed of light with the volume of a freight train falling down a set of stairs. If jesus, mother theresa and Vic and Bob were in a sinking boat, i'd clamber over jesus, kick mother theresa in the face while scrambling to get Vic and Bob to safety.

[@Mr223P]

There is no blurred lines with these boys, it either cracks you up or leaves you cold. Some times I don’t laugh for most of the show but the one bit that clicks just flaws you. Bit like spike Milligan in that respect for me. It was the cameramen and the free runners that just hurt me, just knocked me out...

[@catwoman8861]

The reason is not everyone has the same taste as you.

[@Mainoffender69]

james cordens lost weight....

[@CoruscatorMTB]

What an appalling interviewer. I think maybe his assistant did the research on this one.
