What's The Weirdest Story You've Heard From A Tourist Guide? | Mock The Week

[@Kikiclark42]

Hugh Dennis is so funny to me. The thought of the day caught me off guard, very good.

[@michaelscott6022]

"...I kicked an armadillo." (This is from a bit Dara did as a standup routine about the weirdest things people have done while on holiday.)

[@chrishicks7946]

Did he break his toe?

[@michaelscott6022]

@@chrishicks7946 Dunno. He was talking about a guy who went on holiday and got startled when an armadillo walked out of the bushes in front of him. He panicked and hoofed it like a football clear over a tree.

2:29 We were in a cave on a field trip once when our instructor/guide did exactly this for a laugh*. He was taunting us from somewhere up above in the dark. Me and my phlegmatic mate Chris plonked ourselves down on a rock to wait. We'd worked out that he probably wasn't going to leave us there to die. Some of the group really freaked out though. *He demanded no money, I should add.

This is before he got fed up and stuck to three punchlines; HIV/Aids, bestiality and paedophilia. When you watch episodes back to back, each comedian's shtick becomes painfully repetitive.

another 1 with frankie. 2 in the same week. oyf. running out of material. r we mtw.

3:15 I guess this is very much out-of-date these days. Sorry pal, you just lost it.

Overall good jokes but some guys should reconsider their place in the current world. Do their jokes pass even the most relaxed political corridor of thoughts? (Which is the best I could come up with as a non-English native tongue.)

[@johnnychin]

I think you don't realise that this is recorded and aired ages ago. It's from Mock The Week Series 7 which was aired in 2009. Despite that, I do find most of their jokes still fine. Comedians that play too safe are usually the ones that are boring to watch.

[@daftirishmarej1827]

The answer to your query can basically be summed up by any episode of Mock The Week. Ever...

[@davesmith9325]

One thing about being politically correct is that .. It simply isn't funny. Indeed recently it seems the joke has become that political correctness has lost touch with reality.

[@teemusid]

@@davesmith9325 Well, the funniest set I've ever seen at a live comedy show was also the cleanest and least offensive. Funnier than either time I saw Robin Williams.

[@ianghose1]

And I thought we were all grown up adults and could use our judgement to decide what to watch and what not to, realizing that no one is forcing us to watch or hear any of this. How wrong was I!
