Vic & Bob as Sparks - Shooting Stars

Not great quality but less awful than the other one on here lol

[@caeserromero3013]

Nice of Vic and Bob to get Sparks on the show. Though I would have preferred it if Vic and Bob had dressed up and pretended to be Sparks instead 😂😂

[@daverage4729]

From Vic's demented stare to Bob's falsetto....absolutely hilarious!

[@JamesCurtisOKC]

ALL TWO JOKES!

[@andywatts8654]

How many jokes do you want in 40 seconds?!

[@stephenlonsdale4387]

I'm the same age as these 2....almost, grew up laughing so much with them......classic

[@user-sr1ye5yh3o]

Even like that the song remains good

[@robertjenkins8940]

Only while being performed by Vic & Bob though, I'd guarantee that much. 😏

[@eclectica1]

I started eating before watching this. Had to stifle my laughter HARD to avoid spitting it out!

[@gustavgnoettgen]

Awesome song, and they still make music in 2024. The impression is spot on lol.

[@SimonBlandford]

The keyboard player on Sparks was billiant. Me and my brother used to watch them on TV hoping the camera would pan back and show him scowling again. Sparks are just regular guys when they are not performing...but their stage performance is just something else!

[@Dom12864]

Yeah, Ron Mael! He writes a lot of the songs too and is a very witty guy.

[@ofs82]

Have you watched the documentary? It's absolutely phenomenal and I can't recommend it enough.

[@Dom12864]

@@ofs82 I did! So refreshing to see such an entertaining documentary.

[@Nicholas-ok9no]

These guys were one of , maybe THE best duo for comedy and madness. They've even graduated to fishing programmes and ornithology. Brilliant! 👌👌👌😊

[@user-jl8yn7og7b]

I wonder if Sparks ever saw this, I think they'd have appreciated it.

[@MegaWayneD]

A clip of this was used in the Sparks Brothers documentary!

[@andrewparkinson8837]

knew they would love it. Always been a lot of humour in their work

[@user-jl8yn7og7b]

@@MegaWayneD I really need to watch that!

[@wisteela]

​@@user-jl8yn7og7bI'd imagine they have

[@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq]

It's a blink and you miss it fair use clip in a montage near the beginning of the documentary which also features a clip of Zag from Zig & Zag impersonating Ron. I clip I need to look up.

[@robertjenkins8940]

I was 13 first time I saw an episode of shooting stars. Loved you pair ever since. As did all my mates up here in Scotland. Eeraanoo😊

[@philrichardson9855]

Ooovahvoo

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

You've made me feel old. I was in my 20s when I saw "Vic Reeves' Big Night Out". "Spin spin spin the wheel of justice, see how fast the bastard spins".

[@bgr9133]

Eeraanoo indeed, Vic.

[@defragsbin]

vic's expression 😆

[@gyorkshire257]

This is just exactly the same as the famous top of the pops video. The only difference is Vic crossing his eyes.

[@TheaWeaver55]

Thanks for this upload, never fails to make i laff

[@mr.miller5041]

Haarr Haarr...😀

[@7Cherubim]

They are such a tonic!

[@pennypink3759]

So good so funny.

[@hertzollner]

Everybody laughs but Sparks is literally this strange

[@plan7a]

Well, I can see Sparks but when do Vic & Bob appear then? (LOL).🤣

[@wisteela]

Bob has got it spot on.

[@nl5828]

“the one with hitler on the piano” - john lennon, 1975.

[@missyd65]

You can’t get better than Vic and Bob

[@simonhodgetts6530]

I didn’t know Blakey could play keys………

[@hideouslyugly]

"Ere Butler, get that bus aaaht!"

[@davidroberts6549]

And its still an absolutely brilliant song.

[@grahamandrew907]

Never seen it before very funny

[@watfordtripod]

Love the Austrian painter on the keyboard

[@viewfinder914]

Ah yes, Herr Schicklgruber with his Charlie Chaplin moustache... LOL

[@athelneybenefice]

Oddly, this still isn’t as oddball as the original.

[@UlisesBarrera]

I loooove the sparks, this hilarious!

[@Bigaitch]

Brilliant. The second funniest thing Vic and Bob have done after Vics skidmarks with Christine Bleakley.

[@wakeywarrior]

I’m not sure why, but it’s hilarious.

[@chrisnmayor]

Vic looks like Oswald Moseley...

[@enigmagenesis7341]

Great Tribute, actually. Gently mocking but fun.

[@mikeboosh8776]

pretty accurate impersonation to be fair

[@mochynddu723]

Adolf's let himself go.

[@guysingleton9611]

Superb!

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

And looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes.

[@safeashouses211]

Nice!

[@chriswilson1853]

I think Vic actually looks more like the guy from Yello!

[@jackpayne5101]

Brilliant! 😅

[@garethbird4259]

Never knew Hitler could play keyboards 😂

[@andywatts8654]

He’s multi faceted

[@EponaDreams-AmbientDreamscapes]

John Cleese on keyboards is a stroke of genius

[@WilliamSmith-mx6ze]

See Ron Mael on Buzzcocks? This isn't even a parody.

[@Jamie_Pritchard]

This struck me as more of a tribute than piss take, lol

[@The_Crowman]

Vic & Bob are big fans of Ron & Russell.

[@Jamie_Pritchard]

@@The_Crowman Understandably so, Sparks are awesome!

[@slimjim4239]

difficult to parody what was already hilarious

[@pen2199]

Fkn brilliant

[@jackplugg4529]

Bob used to be in a band called "Dog Dirt"!

[@allisonlewis2115]

Sparks are awesome but this is funny

[@nezbit8989]

Just funny 🤣

[@nickmclean3051]

Bet you qdon just rolled his eyes in amusement

[@bigtam462]

Is Vic now touring as the club singer Frank Sanazi.....

[@AC3handle]

THought I was watching dollar store hitler, and dollar store tom baker

[@bushwhackeddos.2703]

Leo Sayer and the dog lover…,

[@josmith6684]

😂😂😂😂

[@darylcastillo1439]

The irony here is that Vic is _downplaying_ Ron Mael's facial expressions! Still a great homage to a fine band!

[@anthonyfoulkes1868]

hahahahahahahah!!!!

[@joetanjm]

Not a fan of Vic and Bob but that is brilliant. 😂🤣😂

[@prokesuk]

The problem is that no one does Ronald better than Ronald. Paul McCartney did a decent version of him, though.

[@SpookyLuvCookie]

quite

[@Lauriedriver]

Quite what?

[@KangaPanda]

Lol

[@Hexon66]

Sorry, just a fail. They had the Ron impersonation pretty good, but if you can't do Russell's voice, the whole thing falls down. (And no, the joke isn't that he's singing poorly on purpose, he just can't sing it.). Now, if they did something with the lyrics changed, at least *_THAT_* would have been something. But this?

[@auser1617]

Vic Reeves, never been funny.......

[@CJRSBK]

Talentless

[@anoshya]

Awful comedy

[@davidcopson5800]

People think doing comedy is easy, but I can tell you, it's no laughing matter.

[@groovedealerfeaturing-ashl6476]

NAILED IT! 😅🤣😂

[@revensteed9539]

Vics never been funny.

[@Lauriedriver]

What a laugh😂
