Johnny Nice Painter

An alternative version from The Fast Show :)

[@stirfrywok2927]

The easel budget must have been through the roof for these sketches

Anyone else watching this from deep within a chasm of clams?

[@squidword64]

And watching with my eyes that are pies.

The patience of this woman is extraordinary, throughout the ordeal with her husbands neurosis - she still chooses to continue painting with him.

[@mattiemclean9882]

Yeah its not real you know

[@jamesmullen3601]

I think she's deliberately causing it. After all, who's buying all the black paint? I can't see Johnny making that transaction without a severe episode.

[@PiousMoltar]

Still my favourite Fast Show character

[@andradas9688]

Absolutely GENIUS!

[@lucyhogan7686]

I love the fact that he says things like "I'll just paint this lovely little bridge aaah! black the despair of blackness"

That scream just wrecks me and my boy everytime... Genius

[@bluescousenilsatis]

@strawberry smith The choice of names is just perfect, whether it's Swiss Tony, Dave Angel or Johnny Black. They fit the characters... Teddy Pumpkin creates mental images of a slightly wierd geeky boyfriend.

Black - like the schisms of laughter as they wired me in. Black - as the tendrilled Chupacabra a creep creep creeping through the blackest black undergrowth. Black - like the tiniest current plucked from the mother cake and roasted OHHHH so relentlessly roasted upon the blackened souls of Salem.

Being the only sane sibling of a brother and a sister with schizophrenia, this is what it's been like every weekend, birthday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day in out family home for the past 27 years. They're kicking off and smashing things up around you, while you try and stay calm and pretend everything's normal, when you're actually really disappointed that another nice day has been ruined by mental illness.

[@JoeyXSmith]

I emphasize with you. My mother has schizophrenia. It was a nightmare being around her.

[@JakeLDS]

My older sister developed Schizophrenia when she was 15 while I was 10. So from 10 onwards my house was the same. My sister ripped the living room door of it's hinges once. One of the most traumatic episodes is when she thought I had died and she was crying on me, I was trying to tell her I was alive and fine but she was devistated and convinced she saw me die. Thankfully after years of experimenting doctors have found a dose of medication that keeps her relatively stable.

Don’t think it was comic relief? As he slags the BBC by saying that everyone is white in a senior position there and they broadcast comic relief! Think this might have something to do with fosters funny or something like that??

I hadn't seen that one before. Was it the last one, or did they just run out of things to say about black?

I think was an online special they did sponsored by Fosters.

[@TimChuma]

Actually pure black is not really used that much in painting at least not for nature scenes.

[@FilipPandrc]

I don't know much about painting, but I'm sure if you mix a lot of colors you get something close to black, so I guess pure black is not needed.

That's what I was taught at school, so I assumed that's what this sketch started off from.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

It was never explained why Johnny didn't like the color black. I was telling a friend about Johnny the Nice Painter cos she's never seen The Fast Show and she thinks that Johnny may be a racist. Some of the crazy stuff he says when he freaks out over the color black hints that something traumatic happened to him as a child.

[@guydavies1342]

Classical style artists have a massive hang up about never using black as its considered, at best, cheating. Johnny Nice is portrayed as one of those kind of artists who has taken it to a neurotic level.

[@JasonJason210]

Sadly I didn't find this one funny. At all. The word that triggers Johnny's behaviour is "black". This is obviously a politically correct version. The sketch is now example of how politics wrecks humour. This is why Benny Hill was axed and ended up eating himself to death through depression.

[@PiousMoltar]

Aw come on. It was still funny as hell. The fact that "black" didn't set him off but "white" did is the joke. Also: " ORANGE! LIKE THE BURNING PITILESS SUN THAT WILL ONE DAY ENGULF US ALL". You can't tell me that's not funny.
