[@timcoleman3784]

love the idea that someone in the chat watched that entire sketch then thought "whats a stauner"

[@pivottech8881]

If they can't figure it out twitch TOS won't either, that's the greatest thing about scottish comedy it's a great disguise to bypass tos lol.

[@dontnoable]

@@pivottech8881 True, hadn't thought of it like that. Side by side, hand in hand, we all staun together.

[@MrDilkington15]

His maws got a stawner n his das got afanny #2022

[@E-A-Z-Y]

I’d never heard stauner before but you’d have to be thick to not get the joke lol

[@TheAstronomyFloyd]

Probably American, if it’s not staring in the face blatantly obvious then they don’t understand

[@JamesMcDermott1968x]

Glad you liked the Invisible boss sketch, it was my second accepted sketch for the show at the time after Ronald Villiers porno voice over sketch.

[@dirkgently85]

Thanks for sharing, that’s amazing you wrote for the show!

[@prodigalretrod]

It's good to see the grumpy old man laugh out loud for once.

[@sosagecaserol6675]

I love this clip because it’s nice to see Limmy genuinely enjoying himself for once only for the last 10 or so seconds to collapse the charade of happiness.

[@BrianM_3rd]

Kiernan and Hemphill are national treasures.

[@Faliat]

Don't forget Dunbar, too.

[@MIKE-TYTHON]

^ Love it. 🙏

[@nighttimevideo]

Rab Florence and Iain Connell of Burnistoun wrote a lot of the sketches on it, that's how they got their start in comedy.

[@jamamafegan4]

That stauner sketch is timeless. Really enjoyed watching limmy giggle along to it, it’s great banter - it really is.

[@coffeebreakfiction1765]

You know what makes me sad about this? Half the reason he likes this is because it’s Scottish. He hates everything but look how happy he is here. I wish more things were Scottish for him. He’d be laughing and smiling all the time.

[@sweatyhaggis4303]

Half the reason I like Limmy is cause He's Scottish, it do be like that :/

[@alexcampbell3032]

What's the other half reason?

[@sweatyhaggis4303]

@@alexcampbell3032 I'll leave that up to the audiences interpretation

[@coronalights9693]

oh here we go

[@snecko]

You can count non cringe Scottish comedy shows on one hand, chewin the fat and limmys show are thumb and forefinger

[@Wylde_Kyle]

Fucking loved Chewin’ the Fat, absolute classic

[@gorgolyt]

Funny sketches, but serious question, how did they make the handbag and stuff float like that? Looked pretty convincing. Was it just fishing wire or something?

[@CerpinTaxt-xu8zk]

john cena

[@NerdPowerGaming]

Whoever uploaded those clips missed the payoff in both cases. The wee lad getting taken away by the polis with the angry mob in the background cracks me right up.

[@RandyBobandy-n5x]

Aye that's what i was thinking too they missed half of it lol

[@thebigb3ard]

When the invisible boss drinks the "Apple Juice" making it magically disappear. Too funny.

[@angels77100]

Chewing the fat got me into Scottish comedy. So many great shows followed.

[@judgeberry6071]

Stauner. That's a new one for me and I've had loads.

[@three_seashells]

It's been many years but my favourite chewing the fat sketches were the chef who loses his shit trying to balance food. I'm due for a rewatch though

[@razzledazzlerob]

That "pick it up" is so similar to Limmy's "pick it up" from his sketch show, the guy throwing some rubbish on the floor in the park

[@clamstermcwinkle2514]

My favourite chewin the fat sketch is the one where the guy knocks asking to use his toilet. Ha. Makes me laugh everytime.

[@CerpinTaxt-xu8zk]

It amazes me how those actors managed to keep a straight face during the stauner sketch, if I were on set I would've been laughing my ass off. I guess it speaks to their acting talents.

[@steviekenny581]

The auld “Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court” sketches were fukin hilarious as fuck

[@alfieconn7684]

🤣😂🤣😂 did they get fun guilty ( big mags haney)

[@Gary-bn8kf]

'Moan then! 😂

[@smoll.miniatures]

Chewin the fat holds up today and is still hilarious.

[@JJBGaming__YT]

I still do the invisible boss movements to the day 😂

[@WildSide_Est2024]

The "invisible man" sketch is borrowed from the movie Amazon Women on the Moon.

[@Thisismydesign92]

The way he says clumsy eater 😭🤣

[@night0fire515]

Not the Balamory I remember

[@dave13dc]

There’s a further sketch where the Polis are taking the lad away and the whole street is out booing and his Maw is yelling: “HE’S NAE SON O’MINE!!!!” Genius.

[@robbogallagher3398]

I nearly died laughing when he showed this yesterday😅

[@tomimpala]

I always knew "he's staunin over there" and "stauner" but never connected the two to mean you were "standing" up

[@Dazgul]

Love 'chewing the fat' . Also 'still game' brilliant.

[@mustertherohirrim7315]

The invisible sketch wouldn't work without his gyration and rolling eyes !!! Even tho he meant to be invisible !!!

[@ckvice84]

When Alan Davidson tells the new start that she wont be seeing much of him lolz COZ HE'S INVISIBLE

[@Goose.Films.]

The da in the stauner sketch has to have inspired the dad from Limmys Christmas of yesteryear sketch

[@frankiereid2036]

Big jock needs to be watched 😂😂 “Hawl you! Percy”!

[@WHNorthcote]

Wished he showed the ending to that invisible boss sketch. Was classic comedy.

[@Gary-bn8kf]

Missed the part at the end where he thinks he's drinking apple juice but turnes out to be a urine sample for the doctors! 😂

[@rd2471]

The funniest thing is the boss says he's very busy

[@jaygranttaylor]

Pretty much the foundation of any patter from ages 9 to 15 was just quoting Chewin the Fat.

[@PapiVanCrappy]

NOO YIR GRANNY KNOWS

[@SamoIsKing]

I love Limmy with all my heart but Chewin' the Fat was the peak of sketch show comedy. Things like Naked Video and Scotch and Wry had more iconic sketches, but they werent consistently nailing it like Chewin' the Fat did. Over 20 years old and you can still feel its impact on Scottish culture.

[@kiddney]

well said. i don't think anyone will come close either. utterly timeless.

[@alfieconn7684]

Showed a few vids of chewin the fat to some englanders and they loved it😁

Thankyou Limmy for introducing me to the Big Man Not literally though, that would be a terrible experience

[@user-vi6wf4gh9x]

'Bools' and the Big Man are my favourites

[@FightingTorque411]

For those asking below - yes, that is indeed Julie Wilson-Nimmo in the first sketch, a.k.a. Miss Hoolie from "Balamory"

[@nohmaanmustafa4413]

She's the teacher in Balamory!

[@ChilliCheezdog]

The first sketch is just like the Invisible Man sketch in 'Amazon Women on the Moon.'

In an alternative universe Limmy is an Englishman rewatching The Fast Show.

No wonder i left high school thick as fuck, all i did was renact these with my mates 😂

Imagine though if you really did have a boss like that?!

Unfortunately that stauner sketch is some kids’ reality. That’s a sure way to give your kids sexual dysfunction in life.

I love Chewin' The Fat. But 'Invisible Boss' is a knock off from a part of an old comedy film called Amazon Women on the Moon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noS0iKyuZ5t5pLs Just saying.

Thanks for this. Loved it.

[@mr.a8315]

@@drew2225222 Cool. :) Most of Amazon Women on the Moon is good, some of it is outstanding. It's a collection of sketches and clips as if someone is channel hopping during a lame 50s sci fi film called 'Amazon Women on the Moon'. The fake 50s movie is also funny.

[@thehourcal3670]

Balamory changed.

[@Rydonittelo]

When I lived in New Zealand years and years ago I would watch chewin the fat and relise just how fond of Scotland I actually was and Joe much I missed it. All these other English speaking countries, excluding possibly Ireland and other parts of the UK, they just have no sence of irony or self deprecating humour. It's like when Kevin Bridges said "party time " to an Australian about drinking Ribena, it just doesn't register with them at all. They all thought I was just a lunatic thay said stuff at random.
