I was wondering what was your favourite segment out of the series, so far. My favourite is the Brian Blessed Theatre sketches, as seen in the second series, as I found them just hilarious.
"I'm Brian Blessed... Hello!"
Andy Norton
The Peedo-General Sketch makes me laugh every time. It is sick, but hilarious and true in a surreal way.
"By the power invested in me by the hysterical uneducated masses, I hereby declare you a pedo-dog!"
That is my favourite sketch at the moment...
I'm sick, I know it...
TS
i totally agree the pedo finder general skit is just excellent, also i think this is getting a DVD realese pretty soon but i dont know any details, help!
'it's all in the reflexes'
Ivan Dobski & Mr.Hoppy are the best by far.
"I never done it. I only said I done it so they'd stop playing swingball with my scrotum"
Brilliant!
the best ones are when they do the 'hollywood remakes' of classics, ie: the crusades and the diary of anne frank.
great stuff.
though I do agree the paedo-finder general sketch is good
:D
best scenes for me are the bbc logos where the irish drug dealer gets knee capped and the islamic woman is stoned to death, then the music plays and the next bbc programme is introduced
shareMister Hoppy and Ivan have to be the funniest
And Clive The Liar *I've been trying to fill a bath up with cum*
The cottager guy is great too..I really feel bad for him *smirks*
I liked the scene where the people are walking the streets shouting "kill all peadophiles!!!" and the not sure who is a pedo and they find that man "well now that you mention it i do fancy me 14 year old niece a bit"
shareMy favorite scene is the Dasiy Harris press confrence when someone gives out the description of the murderer.
sharemost of the best ones have been said... i think the sickest one was at theend of the first series where they pop mr hoppy and that guy makes a new mr hoppy out of the security guards, i mean the handles on that thing......... makes my skin crawl
sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken
Um, my favourite sketch has got to be "Frank the Liar"
"I've been out all night trying to stop a presidential election, whilst my wife and child were kidnapped by terrorists" "Frank, that's the plot of the next series of the crime/thriller based TV show 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland, and I don't want to know, because Maureens recording it for me"
Gotta keep busy, as they say a dog can't piss on a moving vehicle
the "UDI" cinema booking line sketch had me in stitches
as did "I'm Vicky(?) i'm on work experience"
i have to agree with mr norton at the biginning of the post, Brian Blessed Theatre was the shiznitz and if that got you, play Prince of Persia, i'm telling you when you reach the right bit it WILL have you needing to wring the urine from your trousers. THE ultimate sketch though has to be the paedophile at his computer trying to fing a child, definitely the darkest thing I've seen on TV and also the first thing i saw of Monkey Dust in the summer of '03, absolute genius, fried gold and other praises. Have a good one.
shareIt's Kelly. That also cracked me up as well.
shareClive is my favourite!
shareThose are my favorite to.
Not really...
I only said they were my favorite so they'd take me tackle out of the Bedazzler.
The paedophile at the computer is one of the best. Not only was it really funny, it was quite scary as well. And I can't think of any other program that's had the guts to tackle a subject like that, or do it so well.
The best one with him was the final one where he arranges to meet "Charlotte" in the park and finds out that its' another elderly paedophile. Kind of predictable, but it had me ROTF.
The Ivan Dobsky/Mr.Hoppy sketches in the first series were class as well. I'm not as keen on the ones in the second series though, but maybe that's just me.
My favourites though have to be the cheesy, historically inacurate Hollywood film sketches. They've only done two of those, but they're definelty the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Also, Clive's excuses to his wife for being missing all that time. Funny as hell!
Favourite "one off" type characters for me are Baby Othello and The Cyclists.
Ivan Dobski/Mr Hoppy of the second series were excellent. Especially when Ivan's wife is killed and the warden says, "Remember what the psychiatrist said Ivan, 'You're a *beep* Nutter!'" That had me ROTFL.
Also all the sketches with Keith the bar man and Brian his only customer in series 2 are my favourites.
Why do you ask the questions to which you already know the answers? Magneto, X-Men

Yes I think it was, it ceratintly looked like him.
The mental chess was good, the three people who are analysing everything and people walk over to them to beat them up was good and the Daily Mail sketch was excellent also.

Oh yeah, I remember that Tomato. That Brian Blessed theatre was hilarious, though...
I thought the Paedo-Finder General was a good laugh. Shame he only appeared in one episode. The segment I always looked forward to was the man who always had a different excuse for his wife. I made a guessing game of it in the end. lol
"England is a land of opportunities........today I was promoted from doormat to curtain.."
hahahahahahahaha
'Blind,No Parents...Now This!!'share
o my f*ing god the racist tomato had me in stitches, it was like he was doing a stand up act but was just spouting racist jokes. i like the clive the liar skits especially when he comes home after 17 months with a full grown beard an hes been trying to fill a bath with c*m
"Hang on a minute lads....I've got a great idea"
I've only seen series one so far but I like the cyclists' sketches in episode six. I only have terrestrial television but Monkey Dust was shown on BBC1 - early last year - I had the television on in the background whilst I was on the computer & heard the cyclist's talking about buying only ethical stuff except for their lycra shorts that were made in sweat shops in the Philipines - that hooked me into the programme.
I find the background music intro for the Clive Pringle liar sketches mesmerising - a very melancholic whistling tune whilst plods through dark streets passed a television shop where Blair is talking about "education", etc., a take away shop: 'the horror the horror', ...a flat with a party where the track "loving it" is playing - & he plods up to a tower block that reminds me of one I endured in the early 90s - & all the while Clive walks this flat Goldfrapp's Lovely Head is playing mournfully. I really like all the detail.
Like this clip from series 2:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/monkeydust/monkeydust_liar.ram
What about Othello the baby & his derision of his parents? And the guys who try selling some spare plutonium to a middle class couple. Hilarious!
Also - I think the opening cartoon is really good: it's a beautiful sunny day & children are playing in a park & some birds are singing on a telegraph wire - then a crow flies down to scare off the birds, it gets dark, an ambulance with lights flashing passes, two CCTV cameras look at each other, & a couple of lads with hoods appear out of the bushes with gleaming knives; then there is another day time scene with a man admiring a tie in a gentleman's outfitters; it gets dark again & the high street's neon signs for sex shops light up: "girls! girls! girls!", - oh &..."boys! boys! boys!". the man who was looking in the shop is now seen using the tie to restrict blood in arm whilst he shoots up; another guy is urinating against a wall & rats are roaming through some rubbish. Excellent grim stuff - a very good satire on life in British cities in the noughties :) Such a humourous, dark comedy. I’m hoping to catch series two soon.

The towerblocks he walks past are taken (stolen??) from this website (compare
it for yourself if you don't believe me).

Yes! So that is where Clive lives - Sighthill! It has to be! Those photos show such a gloomy view of contemporary Britain - & especially that bridge on the approach to the tower block in the second photo does look very like that regular scene where Clive trudges home :)
shareAnd the sign saying 'The Horror, the horror' along with a picture of Marlon Brando are from Apocalypse Now.
shareI'm not that familiar with the later series but The Peadofinder general is pretty good, and I like the cyclists as well.
Two of the more unnerving sketches are the LABIA rebranding of cancer to 'closure'(regardless of Harry Thompson's death from the disease later)and the scene at the Government lab with the alien-like doctors and the clueless Tommy. I found those hard to like.
"Dedicated to all the Americans who died in the Early Middle Ages..."
shareI'm Kell-ehhhhhhhh, I'm on Work Experience.
- I say Saladin, more tea?
- Ummmmm, rather... shall we drink it from... the Holy Grail?
- muhahahahahahahahaha
"Dance at my party"
Many classics mentioned here...
But what about Othello? Oh that poor child!
His parents were choosing between Jacoby, Thursby, Fenton, Hercules and Achimides...!!!
Now that's child abuse!
'sss kelly I'm on work 'sperience' 'kelly, I want you to guard the bin.'
And the scene where they show these two old ladies in a back room as being the real cause of the internet connection tone. If you've seen it, you'll know which one I mean (I think Series 1 Ep 6). It made me hurt, it was so funny.
you have not been paying attention
I can't believe no-one has mentioned the "Classically Trained Actor", everything he said was hilarious. I guess people who live in Britain might find it funnier as we hear him everywhere at train stations and on phone lines, but the bit when the other voiceover guys are at the pub with him had me ROFL.
Back off man. I'm a scientist.
Bill Murray - Ghostbusters
I'll just list my favs who other have mentioned.
In no particular order
Clive the liar "I can't tell you but there's a small boy in the boot of my car"
Keith at the bar-Ah pint of Benso and packet of cheese & onion"
The over thinkers-"In many ways the Velvet Underground were a website there weren't songs they're were downloads"
The Snobs-"
The Pedo Finder General-"By the powers invested in me by some bloke I met at the pub who was sure"
The Classically trained Actor-"get your hands off me I'm a classically trained actor
The Guys from West Bromwich-"There will not be a swan"
The Daisy Harris Inquiry-"We believe the man has evil staring eyes"
I am that classically trained actor. It was a case of art imitating life. That Harry Thompson was good and as as we all know, the good die young. In his case too young.
Peter Dickson
I love the paedo-finder-general as well.
Best one was the guy at the swimming pool with the (S)peedo trousers.
And of course the:
"All gays are paedophiles"
"who says so?"
"I do, it's written in stone"
"Where?"
"Behind the busstation, where i carved it. I saw it with mine own eyes!"
and I also love the Ivan Dubsky sketches. "I never done it. I only said I done it so they would take the rat out of me anus" :)
and i always liked the terrorists with her mom "Ohh is it jihad night again already?"
i really hope they go on to make a next season.
Just watched Series 2, Episode 1 and I have to say that I still love the Classically Trained Actor, but my favourite 'dark' sketch has to be Timmy and his Dad...the one with the SpiderMan outfit...it is without doubt the darkest four minutes of television I have ever seen. I love it!
This man fights the law and the law wins -- the law of gravity
-Sheriff John Bunnell
The ones I can rememeber that I loved are,
1. Ivan Dobsky the Meatsafe Murderer
2. The Mental Chess game
3. The Wankers ("Mobile to mobile and man to man! This whole century is turning homo-textual!")
4. The Dinner Party people ("the yuppies")
5. The Classically Trained Actor (his sex scene is fantastic. Also liked his friend Bill who died)
Runnerups:
I liked the Paedo Finder General but I think there was just too much of him. I do love the Fiddler on the Roof one.
I loved the terrorists with The Scorpion and their training scene.
The remakes of the historical films are priceless.
Clive the Liar, of course.
The guy who forgets about his girlfriend's hair. (JAMES BOND! YOU CAN'T DIE!)
Colin the hostage negotiator.
The lady who will orgasm at the slightest movement.
Poor Geoff the cottager. (WHATEVER YOU DO YOUNG MAN, DON'T STRAY FROM THE PATH!)
FAIL:
Noodles was the worst sketch, except where he got revenge.
Essex vs London. Gets irritating after awhile.

1) The Paedo-finder General
2) Ivan Dobski - The Meat Safe Murderer, only he never done it. (Best from the first series)
3) The International Revolutionary Jihad Squad
4) Clive (the liar)
5) Classically Trained Actor
6) Orthello (They should have brought him back)
7) Timmy (and his Suicidal single parent)
8) The Wankers (Pseudo Intellectuals)
and many more...
There was a cross over sketch in which they mixed the Ivan Dobski with the American Hollywood cheesy and inaccurate film sketch, which was absolutely brilliant (It's only funny if you've seen the two sketches separately first). The Brain Blessed sketches were the worst out of all three series'.
Now under the power invested in me by a text vote on Sky News, I pronounce you all as PAEDO-PHILES.

Although I'm a huge fan of Timmy and Daddy and Ivan Dobsky The Meatsafe Murderer; only he never did it. My favourite sketch in the series because if how disturbing and unfortunately realistic it is; Is Benji and Charlotte. This is the sketch with the pedophiliac grim old man who lingers at his computer all day trying to chat up 12-14 year old girls and organizing meeting up with the minors. he does this whilst making grunts and bizarre noises, he himself is a sick, lonely bizarre fellow. The last episode of the first series followed him successfully meeting up with 'Charlotte' at 7:00 in the morning, only to find another elderly un-convicted pedophile.

Old Man No.1: "Benji?
Old Man No.2: "Charlotte?"
Both: "OH *beep*
Ivan Dobsky and Mr Hoppy are my favourites, particularly the last segment of series one. He makes a new hoppy out of the screws and their trouser snakes are the handles! Sick as.... but hilarious LOL
--------------------
Love Is All You Need
I must say, I think that my favourite sketches are as follows (I will provide a youtube link whenever possible):
Devil Loans: "The people on my estate thought I was a pedophile, and my hat kept blowing off...But now these problems are gone!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e14IdEp0N4Q
Celebrity Avenger: "My name...Is not...Chrissssssssss"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CufqmNsT73g
Roy of the Roasters:

Special mention for this, it made me laugh so hard, even though I know I shouldn't laugh at it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uNf4Y6GI4c
I think that this is possibly my favourite series of all time. They really did do well.
Daisy Harris Investigation was the best ever !
