Molesketch - Unrecorded Jasper Carrott

[@adamsanter9385]

3:38 Oh how much I miss Woolworths

[@michaeledwards427]

So do I. Especially the pick and mix, if anywhere does pick and mix now ìts mega expensive and you get practically bugger all. I remember reading in the papers a fair few years ago that one ex-woolworths had been reopened, selling the same stuff, and it was actually called Woolies!!! I wonder if it's still in business?

[@colinharbinson5510]

​@@michaeledwards427They played part of Jasper's LP in Woolworth's record section. I thought it was a new Monty Python release. Bought the album and all the others as they came out. I wish I still had them!😊

[@michaeledwards427]

@@colinharbinson5510 I had one of his gigs on tape, it had an early version of his insurance claim form bits on it. Absolutely brilliant.

[@raycardy4843]

Absolute classic! I had all of his albums of his shows, loved his TV programmes - especially 'The Detectives' with Robert Powell..! 🤣

[@daftirishmarej1827]

Talking about the last names of football teams 😂

[@simonburstow9567]

Jasper at his best this never fails to amuse

[@Truffle_Pup]

As my old dad always said, "A true comic has no need to swear, that's what makes them fucking hilarious!"

[@martincobham731]

One of the funniest sketches ever. The whole show was amazing.

[@simonm7133]

I remember watching the show when it went out. It was quite a brave move, on Jasper's part, to broadcast it live. To prove it was live he held up a portable television and tuned it to the BBC and told the audience 'watching at home' to turn over for a few seconds so that they could see it was real and not a recording. He also pleaded for them to switch back! I also remember in this show he dealt a classic put down to a heckler 'sit back in your chair and we'll plug it in😂 - the audience loved it!

[@arius1]

It was snooker on the other channel.

[@leswillis2191]

Katy Boyle presented him and a few people were heckling if I remember right. My Mother said, “Turn it over, it looks rubbish”. Luckily we didn’t and a star was born.

Classic Carrott, one of many hilarious stories, no swearing, just a lot of laughs

[@artyonehundred]

Nine and a half minutes of pure comedy gold and no swearing, sometimes I miss the seventies!

[@russellpotter7294]

Saw him many years ago in Brighton. He was brilliant. The only comic I wanted to see live. He didn't disappoint.

[@susanrawson6318]

Me too

This was LIVE On ITV many years ago, this is one of his best tv apperances.

[@ianmedium]

I was a teenager living in Devon in the late seventies and I had three cassettes that I pretty much wore out. 1. Jasper Carrott live, 2. Mike Harding live and 3. Bob Newhart live. Between them all I could never keep my socks on!!

[@jansmith286]

Saw him in Norwich in the eighties. I laughed so hard I was praying for him to stop a minute so I could breathe. My diaphragm hurt for a week. I believe he still tours occassionally but he never comes east. I'm fairly certain he'd be very welcome here.

[@minorthing8970]

Thank you for this. I saw molesketch and jasper carrott and suddenly transported back 4/5 decades! Always made me laugh.

[@daweshorizon]

Total genius! Love and peace.

[@crystalclear6864]

I miss tbis guys humour. Love this story!! Tks

[@christopherwhittaker3144]

We hired a VHS when my son, now in his fifties, was quite young, we recorded a Jasper show, he practically wore the tape out watching it. Then along came the vinyl records, he wore those out. No one has ever, in my opinion beaten my boy at laughing at Jasper Carrott, rolling about on the floor.

[@elainepannell2858]

My kids took me to see him for my birthday. We were all crying and gasping for breath! Bev Bevan was brilliant too!

[@leskirkland2894]

Birmingham's greatest. Had this on LP and after the mole story, when the tv transmission ended, Jasper did a story "Can you set fire to a fart". Yes you can was the answer.

[@noeldonohoe27]

The cat called “ Lollipop “ sketch is my favourite 😊😊

[@sarahjones8396]

Oh yes! I remember Lollipop - that was hilarious!!

[@noeldonohoe27]

Molesting next doors Rottweiler 🤣🤣

[@davidmalin5491]

Lollipop came up first on KZbin then rolled into this.

[@matthewbooth9265]

of all the comedic sketches i have seen over the years, this one is the one i have seen the most and still cracks me up. Ah Mr Carrott, you've given so many people a damn good laugh:)

[@willdeit6057]

Jasper at his finest but then he was at his finest with all his shows and stuff. Seen him live a couple of times.

[@debbiethomas3687]

Loved watching him back in the 70s, and he's still out there entertaining. A joy to watch this again.

[@SunnybraeCroft]

Never gets old

[@themunter4488]

My dad had old tapes of his shows always loved his stuff , and this one 😂😂😂

[@paulineworthy3519]

He's on tour again. I saw him last night in Berkshire. He was brilliant.

[@davidmalin5491]

Going to look his tour up now and see if I can get tickets near me.

[@djb34]

One of the best sketches ever

[@carlchapman4053]

Insurance claim - I saw a sad faced, slow moving old gentleman as he bounced over the roof of my car!

[@sarahjones8396]

Yep, I remember that one- I still quote lines from it now: I had to swerve all over the road to hit him!

[@Expatred66]

[@craigarmstrong5291]

I sore him live in London they showed a cartoon for the mole sketch. I had all his cassettes so funny 😁 😂 😀 🤣 😆

Having forty mole hills in the garden, bought a trap to try.Last year there were five hills.

[@johndeakin9359]

Oi Carrott where ya gooin

[@daftirishmarej1827]

Thank you. Hearing a Brummie doing comedy, especially Jasper, is balm to my soul. Thank yòu x

[@rhodaborrocks1654]

The thing is, that's exactly what those little buggers do to you, I've been through the exact same thing except I stopped short of the 12 bore shotgun.

[@nicholasbell9017]

Townie adapts to country life. Moles? You will never have that green stripey lawn you dreamed of. Mini mole- volcanoes greet your bleary waking eyes at dawn of day. I have watched a vegetarian Roman Catholic head gardener sneak up on an active mole hill and plunge a pitchfork into it. The writhing, impaled little creature, crushed quickly under his heel. As an estate gardener, you have to do things like this, it's all part of country life. That's why I left!

[@RickHughes-l6t]

Swa him live a couple of times - very entertaining. Was listening to an omnibus edition of the Archers .. and a character 'Syksey' did a standup routine and I recognised Jasper Carrot style straight away ... looked it up and yes it is the man himself doing this pat.

[@woodyspooner]

One of Jasper Corrott's classic comedy stories, "I got this mole.". . .

[@Roy-n2t8t]

A very funny man. I watched it live

[@tubetaz]

Absolutely terrific, please keep up the good work and keep ramping up the message about the genocide. Thank you Irish Reoublic and the Irish people. ❤❤❤

[@kennethcooper3731]

this was part of a vhs recording called canned carrot

[@arthurvasey]

Actually, it was from a programme broadcast live on ITV called The Unrecorded Jasper Carrott! It was slightly retitled on a repeat of the show as Recorded Jasper Carrott - the LP had the Un part crossed out!

[@fredtedstedman]

love him !

[@PHDarren]

This is the live recording that is used on the animated version.

[@RogbodgeVideo]

Whoever drew that is a genius, and should be working as an animator.

[@jonathanmarsh5955]

I just scrolled down the comments to see if anyone else remembered the cartoon version!😂

[@wilkywilky7814]

I forgot how funny Carrot was he was brilliant at stand up and he hardly ever swore unlike other stand ups

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

Even in my rather eccentric village, people would look at you askance for this one!

[@chrismoule7242]

My surname is pronounced the same way. Got a fair bit of ribbing when I worked in Birmingham for a time.

[@cenninbach]

😅Must remember not to watch this again whilst brushing my teeth - choked! 😂

[@RWBHere]

Oh dear... Unrecorded? Of course not! This was recorded off-air where it was broadcast from a recording. It's still hilarious though. Thanks for the laugh.

[@ZeuzBluez]

Him , Victoria wood and jack Dee are the only classical standups I enjoy. Most of today's comedy is shitty toilet jokes

[@kenbateman8361]

Don't forget Mike Harding and Max Boyce.

[@ngc-fo5te]

It was most of the comedy back then that was toilet jokes, mothers in law, the Irish etc etc. Today is much more the observational side with very few traditional gag tellers.

[@K1lostream]

Oh shut up, poo-face.

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

A time when I actually watched comedy on terrestrial TV. Now I don't bother big mistake, well we all make mistakes said the dalek getting off a dustbin.

[@alisonhorton2180]

I love his insurance claim forms story 😂❤

[@Turnbull50]

It must have been recorded or it would not be on here

if it was unrecorded you would not have access to it

[@badass6323]

If it's 'unrecorded' then...

[@TheAdwatson]

I'm fairly certain this story was in a TV program I recorded (audio only) on reel-to-reel tape in the late 1970s or very early 1980s.

[@2lefThumbs]

Yeah, pretty sure it was late 70's, maybe 77/78?

Say anything. Get laughs. The 70s were innocent times. But this is sh*t 'comedy'. Like listening to paint dry. Jeez. Enough.
