I can understand why people can see the Fast Show as being simpleminded, or plain not funny and repetitive.
But that's just the point.
It's sketches, it's fast paced wit, it's not deeply intelligent humour. It's in your face comedy.
I especially like Bob Flemming and Clive Tucker. Bob:"I've got a tickle in my..." Clive:"ARSE!"
Also notable is Rowley Birkin who wilst only muttering and mumbling can actually tell you a whole story with a few audible sentences.
Ted and Ralph, as said before, do not rank as being humourous, but more as being lovable characters, although you can chuckle at Ralphs ineptitude in finding the words to say what's on his mind.
One that will also always stay in my memories is one with Jesse: He steps out of his door, looks quite bewildered and says with loud voice:"This week, I have been mostly eating..." slight pause..."PROZAC!"
It's a pitty that they stopped with this show, as for the fans, the highpoint has not yet been reached.
Any repeats are more than welcome!
