Vic Reeves Big Night Out - Action! Image! Exchange!

An apparently hilarious segment in which Vic and Bob perform a piece called "A Taste of Tia Maria".
This one is particularly poignant considering the current political climate.

I was in that studio audience. I nearly wet myself laughing.

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

As long as it raised awareness, that's the important thing

[@Kelly14UK]

First thing i remember of these guys was turning the tv to C4 out of curiosity, 1990. They did the Sean Connery one and i nearly died laughing.

[@v00n2000]

It's what got me tuned into them, before I saw this, I wondered what planet they were from. This and Novelty Island (the penguin that regurgitated shrimps when it heard the Ten Commandments) and I was hooked.

[@mcfcguvnors]

@@v00n2000 L`aaaaaard ,novelty island & Lister were just genius

[@mcfcguvnors]

I dunno why this is so funny but it has me in tears every time

[@x-wingflyboy8177]

This skit here, I nearly died laughing at this, my mate told me about how good it was and I tuned in to see it. Been a fan ever since. Total mental humour.

[@badjemima]

I remember turning VRBNO on, with no idea what it was about, and it was the episode with the Living Carpets. I just couldn't stop laughing. Been a massive fan ever since - my favourite evah comedians!

[@mcfcguvnors]

You lyin get !! i loved the living carpets

[@krissib]

YOU LYIN GET

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

Almost caught myself doing the "luuub-ub-ub-ub" limber thing at the gym the other day.

[@paulmarsland2911]

Right now, I needed a good laugh, and I found it in this crazy sketch of the Jimmy Hill "face covering", which I remember with hilarity.

[@kevincupcake24]

I’ve been looking for that clip for the last 10 years!!! Can’t believe I’ve found it 🤣🤣 Thanks !

[@bonnacon1610]

Around 30 for me!

[@schpleeb]

It’s the comments they make nothing of that always seem to resonate with me the most. Like “You would have thought the situation would have been resolved after lethal weapon 2”

[@bonnacon1610]

Also, “Acton” on Bob’s shirt is 👌🏽

[@bonnacon1610]

Funniest thing ever - “Dennis Potter’s bread bin” is the GOAT.

[@kathrynwebb5114]

My brain when ‘oh hello’ when Vic ripped that shirt

[@AndrewLuke]

Plenty more meetings to be held above pubs.

[@ShahPhilLeotardo]

This performance is called “A taste of Tia Maria”🤣

[@gracemacfarlane1841]

How do you even explain this? An abiding memory, as funny as ever.

[@mrmeerkat1096]

Everybody loved big night out at my school back in the day.

[@drummondgreen4393]

Simon Day!!

[@BLMeredith87]

You saw a few Fast Show cast appearing on there over the years :) Simon, Charlie Higson, Caroline Aherne... :)

[@ectopudding]

And Paul Whitehouse (as Mr Popkins)

[@spankflaps1365]

Vic’s moves with that bra are stunning. They should have done a 3 hour version of this.

[@paulmorphy6187]

Pure comedy bronze

[@bodegg2]

Yes, I think it really captures the zeitgeist of modern day mores. Apparently.

[@MrJohnQCitizen]

This ought to be translated into 40 languages

[@irishelk3]

Vic looked like Dave Davies back then.

[@JJONNYREPP]

Vic Reeves Big Night Out - Action! Image! Exchange! 1919pm 24.7.22 indeed.... where are all those fans? just me and her, then? tch tututut...

[@waynemarshall272]

A stupid and random question but does anyone know the name of the piece of music that is used during this routine?. It sounded familiar.

[@plentyonions]

One of the funniest things ever

[@richardupton3323]

"very poor"

[@krissib]

very poor indeed

[@Kelly14UK]

They did one with Sean Connery for a face mask i think

[@MrChuckDugan]

I'm thinking that was the live show. Could be wrong.

[@Kelly14UK]

@@MrChuckDugan Just realised i'd commented. Don't think the notification bell told me at the time. Positive it was series 1 spring '90

[@ectopudding]

Yes, defo in series 1

[@DukeOfKidderminster]

Did anyone else find this a bit creepy? 😂

[@peartreeproductions77]

No it's inspired me to stay at home for a self imposed lockdown

[@daicockle1987]

Vic's not fascinated with Bra's
