Limmy watches Family Fortunes [2023-08-24]

[@cmac237]

Bob Monkhouse presents like he’s rigged with plastic explosive and will go off if he doesn’t get the laughs

[@himynameisben95]

"Please hydrate by trauma dumping yourself into the nearest body of water" is excellent patter

[@timtimtim848]

I could watch Limmy watch 80s and 90s shows all day.

[@philjones45]

i often do

[@ytsucksnowwiththisrealname1096]

Two hour train ride has flown by. Couldn't be arsed to watch anything after the shit day I've had but Limmy is fucking great. I'm going to take a bath when I get home. Just hope I don't cross my legs and end up on the critical list.

[@leedobson]

If you read forums by airline staff Bob Monkhouse rated highly as a lovely person to deal with....he was the anti Cilla

[@videowifie]

He used to send my skint primary school money in the 90s cos our name was monkhouse primary. He bought us a load of cool gym apparatus that we were never allowed to go on a single time for reasons which were never explained. Possibly insurance.

[@channelbrookes]

"I used to work in lady's underwear." "That's a nice image but what was your job?" Come on, Bob!

[@SpeccyHorace]

Bloody hell thats so true about old Monk Bobhouse and Jeff Goldblum, never noticed that before.

[@GriffGriffin]

This is the content I’m here for

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Who was more famous than Jack Nicklaus in 1980 for golf?

[@DanHarrisonKing]

14:39 Dave... David Icke? Looks like him!

[@fin9179]

Bob Munkhouse makes Ted Rogers look like a social intellect

[@philjones45]

Monkhouse was the best host. Look at one of his final gigs, riddled with cancer, he played infront of a room full of comics, and he was utter perfection. He was a great writer of jokes, he wrote for Bob Hope in the fifties. A talented artist too.

[@JackCraft-tm9hj]

I thought he was gash. Never laughed once here.

[@howdoyoudochief]

I am having November off the booze and I've decided I'm going to invite a pal over, drop an edible and watch these Limmy videos all night this weekend. So good

[@educateme8455]

"Have you ever seen a flea jump? It's there...and then it isnae."

[@garyrigby21]

Do more of these it's hilarious

[@dannyq29]

Disappointed he missed a couple of names in the credits at the end. Music by Dave Lindup, father of Mike of Level 42 fame. And produced by William G Stewart, of 15 to 1 fame (amongst many other things)

[@davidrobertson8239]

That was yin oh the audiences heeds they chucked ower the Fence ti the Hyena!

[@jekanyika]

If there is one thing I know about 70s football managers is that they were always in jail

[@Leonards-leopard]

Always thought Bob monkhouse would have gone down better in a Mediterranean country like Spain or Italy. Might have been the fake tan though

[@ChrisNaughton-zb2xl]

And the Price family from Wales - Dave, Barbara, David, Dave and Irene. Who's the patron saint of Wales again?

[@jnduck1]

Unbelievable that he missed Bob going for a handshake and got left hanging @46:07

[@NecromancyForKids]

The host saying "get your mind out of the gutter" when one of the answer is the nasty was a bad move.

[@TeamEmperor1]

Music at the end sounds like it’s from Mario kart 8 😂

[@mladen8127]

What role did he audition for on black mirror?

[@thegeekyfilmguy]

If I remember correctly it was the role Will Poulter ended up getting in Bandersnatch

[@kiteracer95]

Vagrant #4

[@grahamstewart615]

Bob Monkhouse v Cilla Black in a boxing match 😂😂😂

[@SpitfireCallum]

He seems very spunky. Bob Spunkhouse.

[@charlie891]

the spunk monk

[@kelpkelp5252]

Genuinely thought Max Bygraves was the first presenter of this

[@brynbowler9963]

Double Monee!

[@MartinRadio2]

20:17 uncalled for.....

[@danmcdaid]

Jesus Christ, that set, what a monster

[@maldaror7097]

As someone who held whole shows playing multiple characters it's odd Limmy thinks he can't act, I kinda get it, but it's still odd

[@haamishmcgarry]

Limmy, I also often wonder how it would be to just be someone f***ing famous line Jeff Goldbloom. Just to basically have to EXIST, and everyone just applauds.

[@LeDoucheBouche]

01:03:08 - That's why it's a clever answer but at the start he did say "to buy new clothes" That's a wee bit different. I was thinking "to wash clothes" but that isn't the motivation most times. The motivation is to wash yourself or put on other clothes, or the other option that I won't mention if I want to keep my KZbin comment....career.... But aye that's a good answer. I'm commenting now, having not watched the rest of the video yet and I am emotionally invested in this answer.

[@DrPeculiar312]

Mate could you take that weird man out of the top corner? I'm just trying to watch family fortunes

[@Ciara-ASMR]

He IS Jeff goldblum!!

[@AndyMcPandy]

there's nobody on earth that makes me laugh like limmy.

[@SuperBenjiZero]

Thanks

[@nailmcnugget9284]

This kind of content stops me from committing

[@PooKneader]

Hope you're alright man- keep on keeping on. I'll keep you in my prayers 🙏✝️

[@vonFisch]

Commiting to git? So you're a programmer who is slacking off?

[@thegrimyeaper]

Someone will have you committed one day I'm sure

[@360Fov]

I hope Lemmy has loads of none-UK viewers. The idea of wordly folk picking up Sco 'ish slang is awesome.

[@Baltihunter]

She looked more like Ivy from coronation street

[@thepeckhampoet1909]

Salt on your porridge! That can't be right

[@DM-kv9kj]

Pretty much every actor now is just playing some vague version of themselves that's basically the same in everything. Because practically everything now is not a crafted screenplay that's put to film by teams of passionate crafts people who are all some of the best in the world at their craft...it's cookie-cutter algorithm-written bilge that's put to film by wannabes and businessmen with no craft, all working from an industrial template and data-dictated "content" production and all running their movies through the exact same laptop editing suites with templated heavy color filters and all the rest of it (again, all just the same old thing no-matter what genre, that the data tells them is most popular).

[@COYBIG1967]

Limmy little s an absolute legend. His mind works in mysterious ways but i find it so funny. I am also someone who when Limmy first came on the scene on tv etc I wasn’t a fan but I probably didn’t give him a chance cos now I’d watch him all day long

[@speardrops]

He shouts unnecessarily loudly for each guess.

[@Macho_Fantastico]

I love me some Bob Monkhouse, he's a comedy legend. But I don't think he fits the Family Fortune game show particularly well.

[@garyrigby21]

Bob monkhouse was funny doing stand up very blue oh aye

[@danmcdaid]

Barrymore was good at the crowd work

[@michaelgallardo3746]

Can only play yourself-

[@merfymac]

I’m at 1:04:44 - surely the missing answer is TAE FECK

[@mr.a8315]

Fun for all the family! If that family were The Hills Have Eyes cave folk. 49:45 £1000 in 1980 = £4,066 in 2023.

[@Baltihunter]

He acted differently on The Fly

[@Theredeemer556]

When god decided to create a game show host in his own image the result was Robert Alan Monkhouse OBE. Should your production company choose to cover the Bygraves years it will be a huge insult to the Family Fortunes community. Tread very carefully, you have been warned

[@Thomas-px2lh]

Wow Bob isn't cast well in these, kind of passive aggressive/rapey.

[@speardrops]

Elton John 25:20

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

Comment

[@gordonbeattie4864]

Limmy WISHES he could be as funny as Bob Monkhouse.

[@michaelgallardo3746]

u r fine

[@mortonmorton5782]

Love Limmy

[@kokobwild2413]

Limmy is very clever. I think the fact she got busted WAS part of the plan . That edition of Cosmopolitan will have had huge sales
