Sean Lock has a continues flow from one joke to the other while linking them together. Its like one long joke because the previous joke leads into the next joke.
*HA!* Finally, you’ve caught on!
Well done at the back there…
What hardly ever gets mentioned is his amazing physical comedy. RIP Sean
What you mean?
@@mancsy3262 His writing and delivery is sublime but he does a lot of physical comedy - mime, pratfalls etc etc that is outstanding as well
I was so dissapointed when he lost the “madonna mic” on this standup. It gave him so much movement ability with his body in all kind of ways. It was a great factor why lockipedia was so funny haha
Sean's physical comedy is greatly under appreciated. He was really good at it. 😃
One of the best British comics, we haven't got many greats, but he was up there. He was funniest on countdown, when he wasn't trying, just being himself. A brilliant human, forever missed
that's odd, I found nothing funny in this clip.
@@Stonemojo1 well that's sad :(
Disagree...the UK have had all the greats and Sean Lock was way up there
There's more comic greats in the history Of British humour than ALL of English speaking world put together. Ricky Gervais, Billy Connelly, Dave Allan, Sean Lock, Michael McIntyre, Monty Python, Marty Feldman the Goodies, the list goes on and on. Who is there in America well, the spectacularly funny Joan Rivers, Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chappelle that's about it.
Not many Americans make me laugh. Sense of humour too British I guess. Even though I live in Australia now , apart from Barry Humphries I can't think of any one who makes me laugh. Except the real outback, laconic humour of the real Aussies. The professionals are all unfunny duds.
RIP brilliant man bloody hilarious
Is he dead?
@@heinobezuidenhout674 yeh last august
I didn't know he passed, rip Sean
Funny bloke
Absolutely bloody hilarious.

How to explain to 6 year old:
You know how the sun gives off energy that makes things hot? Big things (like the sun) also give of energy that makes things heavy! And the more bigger and solid they are the heavier they make things. And the cool thing is, the heavy things pull the lighter things towards them....
Likewise, Big Suzie down the road will eventually pull all the blokes on the street.
Science.
I cried with laughter when I seen this routine live, funniest person I ever seen, rip Sean ❤️
Thank you for posting more content on this great man, who'll always be missed.
Never do I watch this and be sad he's dead as I know the man himself would make jokes out of it if he could. Legend.
Nothing is nothing
Yes. Yes he would. 😆
"Why can't we smell noises?". Easy answer to that one; just fart in their face.
If you can smell a fart why can't you hear a turd?
Why do farts smell? For the benefit of the deaf 😂
“A labyrinth of turds and wasps”….ha ha
I watched Sean with my dad, thank you for the good memories sir, you was one of the good ones
Best comedian ☺️☺️☺️☺️ Will always be missed
I would LOVE to see a series based on the Monster under the Bed! That Labyrinth sounds creepy as hell! Proper Dark Fantasy material. Haa!
He's no longer with us, unfortunately. Cancer.
@@jenniferspalding6624 maybe he's off in a new adventure. I don't know, glad we get to still laugh with this video
Turds labyrinth
He’s not that far off on the magnetism. Indeed, iron is not bovvered about aluminium.
He's also pretty accurate about the suncream bit
I've just found out Sean Lock has died, does not lock old enough, a real shame
he had a unique style of comedy
Sorry to his loved ones he will be missed
RIP SEAN LOCK 2022
Doesn't look old enough? If we're old enough to be born we're old enough to die unfortunately. It is a shame he passed though. This video is my first knowledge of Sean Lock, I like his comedy and will be searching out more of his work. ✌️🇨🇦
A good man. RIP.
Sean Lock, Legend!
I love how he"s so open about being wrong
I'm gonna shock you here, but he's actually joking...
My favourite part is he's not entirely wrong about sunscreen 😂 it's literally just a physical barrier, like clothing but cream.
Turns out he actually had skin cancer from overexposure to sun.
That's why I distrust it. The Arabs wear thin robes in their heat, I get that it's clothes not cream.
Nobody died of skin cancer before the invention of sun cream.
@@jojodroid31 well he died from lung cancer so whoever told you that is incorrect.
@@jojodroid31 wasn’t thru over exposure, he had it when he was younger and beat it, it came back
"That's a challenging wank" 😂🤣😂 RIP
A brilliant mind
Velcro is Moon grass. Brilliant.
I'm taking parenting notes.
bananas started round and with selective breeding became long and curved
wrong they started like apples
@@FishReallySucks you mean vaguely round?
@@ericjzach6969 no i mean just like apples
@@FishReallySucks seeds?
@@ericjzach6969 no like APPLES
legend
Wonderful comedian.
The GOAT!
Legend
It was a good use of a ghost in joke.
As an Australian I love the Cockney accent. Our entire Australian English language is basically based around it.
Wow that astronaut joke is good
The moral of the story is to 'not take life too seriously '😅
We didn’t appreciate this enough at the time
I propose to you: Bananas have already gone around the other way.
Excellent. Sorely missed.
My kids ask me questions i can't answer so i lie. like every other dad on the planet 😅
You can CERTAINLY smell the noise that I just made! lolol RIP Sean
Do they have luna-ticks in the moon gras?
I hope to one day be haunted by Sean locks ghost.
Does anyone know how/when he passed. I'm from the states & this was my first time hearing him. He is definitely funny.
From US here as well and found him 3 or 4 years ago. Zill is right about cats does countdown. This man is a legend! enjoy!
Carrot in a box. Find it on here and marvel at his genius.
You have to check out 15 storeys high, thats fantastic very dry himour
🤣🤣👍👍
Thumb thing STILL makes my skin crawl
Hilarious as always, and I know they're jokes, as a rebuttal to your joke at 1:49, Clearly you need to learn about the Habsburg family because uh... in that regard, we're definitely related O.o
He's on cduty until seven o clock .the one i tell my kid about stays on duty until daddy has had his😂 breakfast
Just imagine...four in the pink and two in the stink.
Shocking how many people commentating here who are taking Sean seriously about, for example, evolution. You can always tell the people that shouldn't be allowed out without adult supervision, eh?!
A real loss. Bloody brilliant
Comedians just say things high people think but while sober and sweating
The depressing thing is that there'll be some of his fans who'll think he's serious about evolution.
Evolution is bullshit without a guiding force. Deal with it
But he is though
@@itellyouforfree7238 Oh for _fuck's sake_
@@thesprawl2361 ahah gotcha! :P
@@itellyouforfree7238 um, ok
I've been considering the additional thumb benefit for over 45 years. Unfortunately our designer was a bit limited, or conceited.
Koalas have two thumbs and three normal fingers
But the thumbs are both on the same side
These jokes are about on par with the arguments creationist actually make
As far as what we are related to is concerned...we are mostly banana not monkey...
Why people don't understand this is comedy and he's joking. He isn't ignorant, he mocks ignorance. But even if he doesn't believe in evolution isn't that his right? Everybody applauds a comedian who is irreligious and ridicules religion (and let's face it mainly Christianity) but when someone questions science all those science-zealots transform to Richard Dawkins in an attempt to "protect rationalism and scientific facts". Even Christians like myself believe in evolution but I will defend someone's right to not believe in it. This is what a grown-up does. And finally science is never absolute. Science progresses and dogmatism is the opposite of science.
Last message to science-bigots: When you repeat the same mistakes as those you criticize, you're aren't the same thing as them you're worse. For you knew of the mistake and yet you decided to repeat it.
Note: I'm 100% certain all the science-bigots and Dawkins clones will relentlessly attack my comment so don't think you caught me off guard.
Nice, and I personally find evolution to not stack up, but I can respect a person who uses their brain to understand things.
In complete fairness, there are idiots on both sides of the fence who don't take the effort to be self-aware and consistent. It just happens that one side of a debate will have a stronger following at any one point in time.
It's a human problem. One that I despise but acknowledge that I myself and all others are not wholly immune to either, even if we somewhat mitigate it.
Banana's are men made
As are alot of fruit, like oranges, strawberries, grapefruit
Funny this...
Nah... It might be but no one was around to know a billion years ago
And comedy is an art. Unfortunately you seem to have been eating the crayons and sniffingbthe glue.
@@davegonnaway6007what are you commenting for if you haven't watched it? Better to keep your ignorance to yourself, surely?
These comments are silly what are you people talking about...
I've heard Flat Earth Creationists make less sense.
{:o:O:}
First aha
In biology we are literally apes. However he is right, because monkeys are not apes.
Meh
Meh.
Wait! Sean Lock doesn't accept evolution? I didn't know he was religious. Yeah I know, it's just comedy but we have more than enough science deniers today and we don't need to rev them up with things they think he was serious about.
"science deniers" lmfao you're watching a comedy special, take a chill pill and give it a rest mate.
@@4bidn1 Yeah I know but there are already too many morons in the world without feeding them nonsense.
@@4bidn1 Your comment sounds like one I'd make too BTW. 🙂
I don't think we should look to moderate creativity just because some people are morons. If they get riled up about something they heard in a comedy special because they're a moron and took it literally, well, that's their problem.
@@Loctorak You're right, sorry. I'm just fed up with anti-science rhetoric.
His comedy not my cup of tea ☕️
Nah. Didnt liked it
Yeah, child abuse jokes are never funny, so down voted for that last one.
{:-:-:}
Oh man, never google "dead baby jokes".
They're all stuff like:
Q: How do you get 100 babies into a bucket?
A: With a blender.
Q: How do you get them out again?
A: With Doritos.
Yeah, I'm sure you really hurt his career by 'downvoting' a video of him on TH-cam. He's dead, FYI.
he says we are not descended from a-h monkeys and then compares their behaviour to Saville. last I heard he was a very flawed human something but still human. not Attenborough material.
Good news: he's joking
These jokes are just fundamentally misunderstanding evolution
He's being extremely sarcastic
@@jarenlee8229 no he's not. He may not be serious but the humour only works if you don't understand how evolution works.
Having read this comment I’m no longer sure I understand how evolution works either.
It is the very basic comedic device of misunderstanding for comic effect. Shame you don't understand humour as well as you apparently understand evolution.
These jokes are just fundamentally misunderstanding dry-cleaners.
Funny... But if he's even remotely serious about the "flaws" of evolution then he's simply ignorant.
He's not serious, he's a comedian. Well he was a comedian, now he's a corpse.
But if you think evolution isn't flawed then you don't understand what evolution really is.
@@zoranbeader6441 Evolutionary theory is constantly improving... Because science. It makes more sense than any other proposition by a long shot, including accurately predicting discoveries that were made in the future.
Comedy typically is rooted in an actual opinion and the comedian uses humor to elaborate, criticize, or satirize the subject.
@@CaptPeon Sure but the theory never stated that evolution is without flaws. Evolution is not survival of the fittest or the road to perfection. Most of evolution is flaws, that's why species keep dying out and other species take their place. Until they die out too!
For every evolutionary success story, there are countless billions of flawed designs that didn't survive. And every evolutionary success story will evetually become a flawed design overtaken by a species better adapted to current time and space.
Bananas are not perfectly shaped for their enviroment, they just happened to survive whereas their round shaped cousins didn't.
@@zoranbeader6441 while I agree that "perfection" is never achieved by evolution, it very much is 'survival of the fittest.' Fitness is literally a relative metric of a population's adaptedness to a habitat and climate. Fitness / evolution only necessitate 'fit enough to reproduce'. I don't agree with your use of "flaws" because the habitat and climate are constantly changing. A trait that is not well adapted here and now may very well be a favorable trait under different conditions.
@@CaptPeon Survival of the fittest is how one might describe natural selection. Though I think the phrase is missleading and oversimplifies a very complicated process. I doubt I am more fit for survival than everyone who has died of covid, I just happened to catch a milder version and at a time when my immune system happened to be working at full capacity. A month earlier or a month later and I could have easily ended up dead, even though my DNA would have been exactly the same.
As for flaws, negative traits are just as much the product of evolution as positive ones. Developing thicker fur in a warming climate is definitely an evolutionary flaw.
Not that funny.
Sean Lock's "comedy" seems entirely based on anti-intellectualism and a celebration of ignorance.
Once, in an episode of QI, particle physicist Dr. Brian Cox was just about to say something no doubt very interesting, but Sean threw a fit like a fucking toddler because he wasn't the center of attention and someone actually knowledgeable was speaking.
I'd say it's more a parody of anti-intellectualism if anything, and that's what makes it brilliant.
In this bit for instance he isn't really satirising scientists; he is mocking his own (feigned) ignorance and vanity.
He's not celebrating anti-intellectualism, he's satirising it. He's mocking the dumb arguments that evolution deniers and anti-intellectuals make. I haven't seen the specific qi episode you're talking, but I'd hazard a guess that his "throwing a fit" was probably him making jokes, given that qi is, in fact, a comedy show
@@SecularIranian Basically this, lol
@@brettjohnson536 Your interpretation is a lot more generous than mine, and I might even agree if I'd ever heard Sean say anything remotely intelligent. Even in this bit he transitions right from "I don't need to back up what I'm saying because I'm not that insecure" to "I'm really insecure about stuff I don't know" - clearly banking on the fact that the audience can't remember what he said 30 seconds ago.
As for the QI episode, I misremembered (indeed, Sean Lock and Brian Cox was never on an episode together). It is a conversation between Rory McGrath and Stephen Fry (who is in my opinion incapable of saying anything not interesting) that is rudely interrupted by Sean's toddler-y fit. Or "physical comedy", I guess. Here's the clip (2 minutes, 18 seconds):
th-cam.com/video/-NGNnu-Ut-g/w-d-xo.html
@@boesvig2258 yeah that clip is a bit disappointing
I like most of his work, my first feeling is “obviously he’s not this obtuse, it’s a comedy routine” like no one actually believes the things he says
But then I think about the people I know to be that oblivious to how the world works… some people are dumb, I feel Sean is just less interested in science
