:) Crikey!

Funny stuff

But how are you matching the clips to the comedians?

At the moment I'm enjoying crediting them with the least likely material they'd ever come out with.

Aah

more of a dadaist art project than comedy but fun all the same.

:) Its random, but might not be true?

Heh, nice idea.

Have gone all affectionate for Jimmy Cricket despite the point of this!

Me too! He's brilliant.

Definitely not dadaist, there's nothing anti-comedy about it. It's more a jab at the sort of people who post earnest, arty photos of Hicks or Carlin to their Facebook walls, complete with profound quotes to let everybody how anti-establishment and intellectual they are. It's basically a calculated effort to put their idols words into the mouths of the sort of people they'd hate the most. I could go on but I'd probably end up using the word "juxtapose" then we'd both look like c**ts.

I'd pay good money to see Cricket do a Bill Hicks set.

Nothing wrong with looking like a c**t.

And dadaist comedy is the hardest. I mean by juxtaposing you're challenging the nature of comedic assumptions in the same way Vic Reeves did when he was starting out.

I do hope you're not comparing me in any way shape or form to Dane Cook. Them's fightin' words.

nb have you thought of doing it the other way round?

Put up your dukes because I didn't even know who he was.
