Ted Chippington - Walking Down This Road The Other Day

[@pachy444]

You might laugh but that was the only comedy we could afford back in the 80's

[@matthewstone1362]

I might not laugh.

[@podlou9939]

😂

[@PIPEHEAD]

We didn't have a telly, we had to watch this on a cardboard box, wi' hole cut out o't front, and our dad inside pretending to be Ted. ........

[@Virolaxion]

One mile, roughly speaking. My favourite shoe joke.

[@billylapworth]

He had his shoes on, to be fair.

[@matteoj226]

Ted Chippington's let himself go.

[@Trotskyxx]

This is a high-octane performance by Ted's standards.

[@andyth55]

Genius, as ever. "So you didn't like that one then? .. Well, I did!"

[@gomey70]

Walking down the road the other day, in me shoes.. .hahaha

[@danrussell351]

A true improv genius

[@MCHOKUM]

This is my favourite joke 😂. It is a work of genius.

[@threethrushes]

Long time, no see. Haven't been to the Vatican for ages.

[@cvbabc]

LMAO!!!! Somebody actially said, "Give us the punch line." I lost it at that point. XD

[@MCHOKUM]

That roughly soeaking joke is actually very funny. 😂😂😂😂. Ted must be annoyed by that 😉

[@alfpetzer5812]

Best Video on KZbin

[@CeticWales]

You can definitely see how he influenced Stewart Lee's comedy

[@tomgreeves9248]

"Here's a top entertainment joke."

[@eestijama1]

Tss Tsss! Good one Chippa!

[@vilentman111]

It was a very eventful walk down that road I have to say

[@TheIkaraCult]

This is something that only works in context, a room full of punters waiting to see a band, suddenly a bloke shows up just saying jokes. Not telling them, just saying them. It's never going to be as funny as it would have been in that room at the time

[@Globaldave1970]

And very bad jokes too.

[@eddjordan2399]

the people that died to give us modem comedy. immortal

[@Redskins001]

The clip is from 22nd April 1986 at the Redskins gig at the Town & Country Club. It was shown on BBC2 on The Whistle test.

[@mggrafton]

I was at this gig and I had never heard of Ted Chippington but me and my mates loved him. I got into a fight during The Redskins set.

[@Our_Sole_Pusch]

General Ratko Mladic, the lead singer of UB40, who has incidentally let himself go brought me here.

[@podlou9939]

Seen the man many a time warming up for bands in Brum. Top days, top days.

[@realfacthunt]

Stewie sent me here.

[@listek981]

The thing I find funny about it is how he is fucking with the audience.

[@johnnycanoeiro4200]

long time no sea ted

[@vikramtg1015]

The guy who let Richard Herring go sent me here...

[@alasdairbaird7303]

I am from Australia and an unfamiliar with this genre. His name was mentioned in a Stewart Lee video. I am familiar with Stewart Lee's material.

[@METALFREAK03]

Same vein as Jack Dee, Bill Bailey.... essentially it's anti jokes. Or repetition of the same joke with different punchlines. If you get it, you will howl with laughter, if you don't you be like Comedy without errors and not get anything.

[@onlythebiggesthitsoneleano8461]

He’s not after laughs, he’s after a mass liberal consensus that dissolves on contact with air.

[@liverpoolbellend]

Saw this fella back in the 80's on the Royal Iris fuckin brilliant.

[@rrbh]

Looking for a fight? I'll see you outside ! ... A few fishes looking for a fight tonight !

[@petergedd9330]

Loved the barbers joke...its a corker by any standards

[@COL321]

This is classic Ted

[@johndobson1899]

I think it was the tube it may have also made OGWT. It's the stunning lack of charisma that does it for me and the audience reaction. It's just great . I remember going to a party and someone dug out a microphone and did this set. Some of knew why it was great but most of the others there were ....WTF

[@Nogli]

It was Whistle Test. It seemed to be his goal to prevent people from laughing. He had a couple of Dad jokes, but he would always embellish the punchline to be a total mess, like putting "couldn't be too sure you know" at the end of the "one mile" joke, and carrying on talking about how the man had a good time in Cheltenham. He ends it all like he's telling a true, unfunny story.

[@bifftv1975]

That bloke at the end " give us the punch line ". The punch lines, us.

[@Globaldave1970]

I missed that first time. Ta very much. You have to savour every word in a Ted gig.

[@renhoek3851]

All those jokes are pretty funny to be fair

[@Globaldave1970]

Only when Ted says em

[@dr.biscuits]

Great timing....

[@rileymckenzie6276]

best joke about shoes ive heard

[@rogeredwards9643]

Beautiful

[@thoughtheglass]

Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship enterprise really let himself go

[@johnherkert9895]

"You what? Shoes? OK!"

[@BillKenn]

Is this not The Old Grey Whistle Test?

[@Joeywooden]

'Give us the punchline'

[@notmyname9261]

He came out . . .

[@Globaldave1970]

Quick as lightening it was

[@michaelsandford1015]

Ted chippinton much better than garry glitter and not a pedo but a funny man

[@sluggygrumble5164]

Cheers, Stew x

[@rogeredwards9643]

Fabulous. The half wits in the audience just don't get it. This bloke is great.

[@stateofmind91]

Mikhail Gorbachev has let himself go.

[@Globaldave1970]

My fav( not on this clip) is when the audience start chanting, "Who the fkn L are you?" "Ted Chipington".

[@NorryJones-kg1se]

Norman Wisdom were quite good int Albania ..so I eard x

[@curtisunit]

Walking down the street and a bloke comes up says I know you. I said what’s your name. He said Sam Malone. I said what if I’m not. True story. Never know with strangers.

[@Polemicist0]

Apparently, the well-known misanthropic stand-up comedian, Stewart Lee, actually persuaded Ted Chippington to pack in his both safe and regularly paid lorry driving job, and return to the comedy circuit as a supposed comic.

[@andrewroberts8139]

Singular nouns require singular verbs

[@dewexdewex]

@@andrewroberts8139 Are you implying Ted did a safe job?

[@UnbelievableEricthegiraffe]

While Ted was living in the 🇺🇸 He crashed his truck, And shortly afterwards returned back to the 🇬🇧

Someone, please call for a doctor to come quickly. For Ted Chippington is, just, very slowly dying up there on the stage.

[@mdeckerLondon]

That's appalling.

[@manchesterukabriefvideooftime]

I don't know what's happening The room is dying His jokes have no rhythm and he has no stage presence or delivery. Literally what I find funny is his will to just carry on regardless like he's delivering the shipping forecast In the worst weather of all time . Totally unaffected emotional stance even while people are booing Seriously I can't fathom it . Stewart Lee was inspired by this guy. .. that seems very surreal I did love frank sidebottom though and im getting a similar vibe .

[@SA-ff9uc]

If you strip back the facade most comedy is just this but presented better. I think that was the joke.

[@tonyclifton265]

I hate Ted Chippington with a passion; he's like Stewart Lee to me.

[@liamj2363]

Wonderfully shite.
