Stewart Lee talks to Armando Iannucci - Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, episode 3 - BBC

[@brn20]

I honestly don't understand how a mock interview between two of the most brilliant comics/comedy writers Britain has ever produced hasn't even made it to 4000 views six months after being released.

[@adamcole4623]

11 years after your comment it stands at a still paltry 64k views.

[@SkinnyEMedia]

Because their brand of humour or satire really is too highbrow?

[@mossga]

​@@SkinnyEMedia - It's more art, really.

[@TheConciseStatement]

Love that bit of Lee forcing an unfunny gag into awkward humour by just bearing his presence down the camera lens.

[@berbatov3890]

"I'm approaching that age like...Tony Blair or Frank Skinner" Fucking lol

[@seanpoole6155]

There is actually a cafe in Marseilles called 'Coffee á Naan'

[@CecilyHeron]

I love how the Kofi Annan gag seems inane until he starts repeating it in that deadpan manner!

[@liamjones9115]

'I was thinking of a bank on a moon'

[@Tedaus5]

Armando Ianucci needs to be in a show

[@omalone1169]

Again !?

[@staberind]

who?

[@snakerman2612]

The Kofi Annan joke works so well because it's something Stewart would never make

[@HudsonMayBeRight]

Armando is the king of deadpan.

[@forgive7449]

arm an do. 😛 lol.

[@omalone1169]

@@forgive7449 not Boyle?

[@iiwekei]

both are amazing. Iannucci is the funniest man alive

[@omalone1169]

From channel 4 to bbc

[@Redondo9]

2:22 the grin 😆

[@dogevitale]

Kofi Annan's diet finally caught up with him, RIP

[@paulie_g_]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@catbat06]

Its amazing he lasted so long

[@phillawrence6413]

Lol

[@Tedaus5]

Yeah since I wrote that I've seen it and it might be my favourite Iannucci show, even over Alan Partridge

[@phillawrence6413]

Is the music off End War?

[@cellardoor991]

One of them created Alan Partridge, the other wrote all of the Alan Partridge scripts, and neither of them is Steve Coogan...

[@Woltato]

"It's political correctness gone mentally challenged." lol. Genius.

[@luke-alex]

"I think he should have been made a fascist dictator of the world, then everything would have been in a lot better state"

[@cellardoor991]

Nope3, the character was born on the radio 4 show 'On The Hour' (the pre-runner to 'The Day Today') and Stewart Lee was the creator. Armando is responsible for most of the scripts (the funny bits anyway), coogan just provides the characterisation really.

[@omalone1169]

Wait what ?

[@gavva2010]

I've got one - the Kofi Anann Joke, could be done with the pm of Israel, who starts every day in a web cafe... What would you like Prime Minister, Netanyahu ('net, & Yahoo) "YES PLEASE!!" You're welcome.

[@deelennondee]

gavva2010 Not bad

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

"U Thant" - "No I don't, I don't even know what that is"

[@phillawrence6413]

No

“Trouble and strife,Desks...!”

[@JauntyAngle]

@Alimantado91 you know who the most oppressed minority in britain are? white middle class men, thank god for people like stewart

[@planetyes]

I've never heard a sentence where Tony Blair and Frank Skinner were comparable. *stares into mirror in monochorionic horror*

[@baldkea]

Comedy perfection from two comedic genuises (....geniae?)

[@guitarreilly]

na apparently lee and herring wrote much of the early stuff in 'on the hour' but then left through disagreements, not responsible for the creation of the character though

[@JohnSmith-ji6lu]

I love Nigel Farrage.

[@cmrxs]

@DrewUK85 I always thought he was a Scottish Jew...

[@mynameisloader]

@DrewUK85 like superman?

[@knifesedge]

Who else could compare Frank Skinner to Tony Blair

[@martindavies1986]

Asad Ahmad. A sad almond.

[@guitarreilly]

thats wrong, coogan thought of the charcter and did a lot of the writing, partridge was originally done by coogan as part of his stand up

[@guitarreilly]

You're wrong you moron lol 😅

[@CalvinKlown]

That lesbian prison warden I used to see at the bus stop has let herself go.

[@twentingtonful]

ratko mladic has let himself go

[@timmoleft7147]

Boutros Boutros-Ghali - so fat they named him twice.

[@Destro7000]

@mynameisloader Colourful clothes! Goes faster than the Trains! ...Indian!

[@alexbaxter3730]

They dont make decent meta comedy like this anymore
