- Here's 10 amazing moments involving Mark Lamarr, the original host of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
If I missed a moment, hit me up in the comments!
Made with help from the awesome Mark Lupont, check out his channel here: / @marklupont902
(DISCLAIMER: I don't own Never Mind the Buzzcocks, or any of the music clips featured in this video- all credit goes to their respective owners, and especially Fremantle International).
Mark is the perfect example of how funny barely contained rage and unpredictable wit can be.
He was a miserable person who hated music hosting a show supposedly about music.
@@john.premose yeah one of the few times the host being miserable saved his performance. I hope he's doing better now.
The difference between Mark and Simon was that mark could recognise and take a good comeback. Simon however just had to go along with his dads ejaculation.
He's a greasy, cockney wide-boy.
@@john.premose The hell? I don't know the man personally but from everything I've seen he LOVES music. You think the singing bit at 1:30 was scripted? He knows every word. He's hosted Early Rock and Skiffle based shows pretty much out of his basement for like a decade just out of his love for a bunch of albums that 99.9% of the viewership of this show would never have heard of.
Just look at how hard he fanboy-ed over Jimmy Cliff.
The late 90s. Mark lamarr was smashing it on never mind the buzzcocks and i had my life ahead of me. Good times.
Lady Squiffington you and me both.
That’s sad because it’s true. I look at myself now and think wtf
It was I must agree, glad you felt the same 💫
20 years ago now, and what have we done?
how did your life turn out.
I remember if my mum was working a late shift at the hospital, my Dad would sometimes let me stay up and watch Buzzocks with him. He was normally quite strict and not especially a fan of profanities, but I can clearly remember him almost in tears laughing at Mark Lamar going off about Chris Moyles. RIP Dad.
Seems even more validated when you find out that chris moyles is the kind of person who runs of with his so called mate's wife.
Your Dad IS a legend. Not WAS, IS. Sorry for your loss, my dude x
Sorry about your dad. Xx
My dad used to let me stay up to watch this too when my mum was working nights. He died a few years ago too 💚
I used to go and watch these being recorded live. Mark would always do an hour long warm up stand up routine before the show started and he was epic! Definitely one of the best live comedians I have ever seen. Great times!
I used to go and see then too. At the start, he would run through the format with the audience and get everyone warmed up. On one occasion, "After I've introduced each team, that's when you applaud, don't applaud individual guests, ok?" Lamarr introduces each guest and a few people applaud, ok let's go again, DON'T applaud until I've introduced THE TEAM.....OK, we get it, sorry.....Lamarr introduces a couple of guests and then a few in the audience get it wrong and applaud again "LOOK YOU C--TS, I said DON'T applaud until the WHOLE TEAM has been introduced FFS" This got a big laugh. I always got the impression that ML was only half-joking though. He was a funny guy but seemed unhappy. I heard he's doing the in-flight radio for British Airways now. A bit sad really.
Wow that sounds epic!
I wish I could see that, damn
Bursting Wizard it was brilliant! I kid you not when I say this...I used to laugh so hard during his sets that my face had cramp for 3 days afterwards! Very very very talented comedian!
What happened to him?
I miss Mark Lamarr being on the telly.
Top bloke. Proper fella in real life too.
@@theatheistmonk4385 Haven't we all
@@LuxTheSlav Haha
Any idea what he does now? Haven't seen or heard of him in years.
@@SluttChops I'm not, so I can't follow him, but thanks for the info. Glad to hear he is still expressing himself somehow.
@@Chris-i0i0i0 He's a music producer now, apparently. Though, if you have Twitter, you could always ask him what else he's up to.
I never knew how great TV was back then, it was just normal to watch insanely smart guys with quick wit and style, Lamarr being top dog. What a bloke
And then we got even more american media influence...
Our children's documentaries where less dumbed down than their high brow adult stuff.
Unless it's been banned., now we can't watch anything without a trigger warning.
If someone like Dave or BBC4 decided to repeat the Mark Lamarr era, there would be an audience for that
There's actually a person named BBC4? XD
@@Fireglo he's the guy in his Army squad who handles the C4: Big Bobby C4.
maybe not any more
Dan Vine yes sir 100%
Brilliant buzzcocks surely?
I think Tom Hardy studied Mark lamarr to practice for his role as Ronnie kray
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one thinking of him looking like Ronnie Kray
Thinking the exact same thing..mad!
Reggie was based on Tommy Cooper though.
Ronnie or reggie
Funny I thought of Hardy's Reggie too
Him singing always got me excited. His voice actually was nice.
His voice on Buttercup is actually fucking perfect
Phill jupitus as his backup singer 😂
@Steve Grow up
They call him Mr. Bombastic
hes a decent singer
My favourite Lamarr quote on NMTB was "Stuart Adamson went on to be a Big Country member. And we do remember" 🤣🤣🤣
Funniest joke I ever heard
I LOVED his reaction when the producers somehow managed to break out the "Bonanza" theme tune at 2:41, hilarious! XD
I hope he’s doing well nowadays. One of the icons of the nineties for sure! Seemed like a top bloke
I liked Mark , his dry whit never failed to make people laugh and taking the rise out of some who were so dumb to realise was brilliant.
He is also quick thinking and rarely without a response when verbally attacked, that was a unique show with him at the helm and could never be duplicated.
Sean Lock would have nailed it. Also very dry wit and rapier like speed with a comeback. RIP.
@@Chris-i0i0i0 Would've been a perfect replacement - greatly missed - RIP
Whit Sunday?
Number 8 was pure class of the production team being able to keep up with him with that nice suprise
He was just the only person who was just so quick to take the piss and responded to the replys,,
He owed the show and it was great every week, BRILLIANT
“Also on Phil’s team- The man who can list singer, dancer, actor and presenter on his cv- all after the word ‘failed’, the man I like to call Won’t Smith, it’s Richard Blackwood!”
Lamarr is a legend. His best line for me was on one of the line-ups: “is it number one... a little more lovin? Is it it number 2...a little left on the plate wouldn’t kill you” lmfao
I remember that well. Wouldn't get aired these days.
The Bill bailey one has always been my favourite moment on that show. Had me I stitches when I originally watched it. Two of my favourite comedians by far.
......."solitary WEASEL" 🤣
I love Jimmy Carr’s stare when Mark is singing “Build me up Buttercup”.
Yeah, he was just sitting there like -help-
'Solitary Weasel' was the funniest part of his
In the burrow...
@@iamtheoneandonly9361 Bill's face and how happy he looks saying 'In the burrow...' just kills me 😂
I wish they'd repeat these episodes somewhere, great show at the time.
Your human friends r tried to save you 😂😂😂😂..
This is the exact energy black mums beat their kids with. 😂😂😂
As much as I loved Sean Hughes, IMO Bill's era was the best. Him constantly annoying Mark with the cheese and weasels comments, until the episode where Fearne Cotton was on and the next lines round was all childrens songs and Bill sang most of them perfectly.

Cracks me up when they play the bonanza theme theme and Mark Lamarr is all like "where'd ya get that from?".
Simpler times. I can only assume the delay was them running and getting the cassette.
They had hard drives ya numpty!!
Yea this isnt the early 90s. They had internet and CDs and I dunno storage with music on
Jim Phill hey kids, here’s a lesson for you. The internet couldn’t play music back in the late 90s. And even if it could, the delay would be longer than going finding the tape like they did.
His face when they start playing it.
z ohhh yes it could, despite the lack of TH-cam.
Mark Lamar bossed that show. Tuned in for his banter alone.
Picking just 10 moment where he owned must have been a difficult task. He was brilliant, I wish the show was still available somewhere.
“You’re being a silly goose” I always say thanks to mark lamarr
Me too
I once owned Mark Lamarr. I met him outside a bar in Edinburgh some years ago, and pretended to get all star struck, which he quite enjoyed because he had a lady with him at the time. Then I deliberately addressed him by the wrong name, pretending to have confused him with Terry Christian. The girl he was with pissed herself laughing and he knew he'd been well and truly got. Good sport.
My best friend went to a party where the lead singer of The Kooks was. My mate knew who he was but asked him what he did.
My mate: what do you do
Kooks: I'm a singer in a band
My mate: cool, who's your band?
Kooks: The kooks
My mate: never heard of them, any good?
My friend does this every time he is in the company of "famous" people
Lmao!
I once owned mark also, he was getting all close with this girl at a festival and when he was about to go back to her room after kissing her all night....I had to let him know it was a man dressed in drag 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@jay2k536 cool story... what`s you mates name?
@@tvi82 could say but why do you want to know?
Mark was brilliant, I miss him being on tv.
Lamarr’s voice is so gruff and deep and badass
That's the cause of countless pints of bleech
I loved Mark's shocked glee at hearing the Bonanza theme.
This show with Lamarr as host was one of the funniest things I ever watched
I second that.
Mark was always on point. Quick witted with vast knowledge of contemporary music. He was able to poke fun at the guests without being overly nasty. Simon had some great moments but he also had a tendency to be plain spitefully mean.
>he also had a tendency to be plain spitefully mean
You're saying it like it's a bad thing.
Completely agree. Mark was genuinely funny and could take it as well as dish it out. Simon Anstell could only take the piss out of people and fell apart if anyone gave it back to him. He seems like a pretty horrible person tbh whereas Mark seems just the opposite.
@@Hyperllam4 It was a bad thing because it led to people not wanting to be on the show. It got increasingly difficult to book guests with Simon as the host.
Simon is trying his best to be Mark Lamarr, but he isn't close.
@@chrishayes2207i don't believe that
Mark was very clever and witty. His comebacks were brilliant.
Simon Amstell was a good replacement, but I miss the nifty fifties bin man in general. Also pang of sadness when I saw Sean Hughes...RIP
He bloody wasn't, he didn't have the charisma or the ability to snap back he had no quick fire wit. Noel Fielding was worse which is why Amstel isn't criticised.
Didn't even know he died!!
@@jediknight1294 I dunno, Amstell was good. The shit with Donnie Tourette was fucking hilarious!
@@commanderaugustus7882 Hughes, just 51 years old, had been picked up from his home by an ambulance on Sunday night. On the way to hospital he went into cardiac arrest. He died shortly afterwards. It transpired that he was also suffering from cirrhosis of the liver.
@@commanderaugustus7882 Have you been in prison?
Lamarr was so good he was off the scale on that programme.
Absolutely. It was unmissable, I can't think of any show I'm even slightly bothered about.
Lamarr was so good turning it around, when a guest landed a bad joke. Great wit.
I love how Claudia cracks up when he starts to sing. Also Thumbs up for Phil who starting singing backup
the fact the skit with Kenzi where he sung house of the rising sun isnt in this is heartbreaking
Craig Henderson one of the funniest scenes on Buzzcocks that.
And sounded great too 😂
"I could quite happily drink bleach now."
You laugh but he's immune to covid-19
Preston: I had a great time on Buzzcocks last time, so happy they invited me back and Simon Amstell seems like a decent fella.
lol, I was amazed to see he had been on the show before. Guy's an oversensitive twat.

@@oedipamaas2067 wines
An absolute legend of a presenter! One of a kind!
"To be fair, I didn't watch the Brits performance. I had to knock a wall through that night.
With my FIST!"
I almost shat myself with laughter.
Lamarr was brilliant back then, loved him on The Word,
NMTB was Lamarr at his epic best , miss those days
It's crazy remembering watching tv at a time when pulling that Bonanza record so quickly was such a flex
RIP Sean Hughes
The line-up was one of the best bits and just for all the names you'd hear and get funnier through each one.
He needs a Netflix stand-up or anything
Solitary weasel gets me everytime.
This was the show to watch back in the day, I used to hate it when Mark would say goodbye.
Still the best host. It's just the dry cynical wit that really has me rolling.
Bring back Buzzcocks WITH Lamarr and make Friday nights amazing again!
Mark Lamarr and Bill Bailey were some of the funniest moments on TV and I miss them both.
Bill Bailey is hilarious 👍
Are they dead?
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle no, just Lamar only really does radio now and bill bailey has other things todo.
@@CrashHeadroomLike selling out enormous theatres all over the world 😁
That last part with Bill Bailey screwing around was so damn funny
🤣
He’s got that Midlands Klingon persona down to a t. A great comedian and a very nice bloke.
Hunter's Moon oh I was dying laughing the whole time haha
I remember a few years back (yeah somehow I remember this, my memory has a knack for remembering stupid things) there was this youtube commenter who was seriously accusing Mark Lamarr of abuse. It was like the guy had never seen comedy in his life.
That last segment with Bill Bailey made me spill my tea.
The time he did 'Snow - Informer' should of been in the top 3!
Should HAVE been
@@Hellwyck Don't forget to put a full stop at the end of your sentence.
Mark Lamarr rules......he set the bar so high!!
Tom Hardy’s Funnier older brother is dope.
Does have the voice.
Lamarr needs to get back on the tv box.
I miss Mark Lamarr so much
Gosh I miss the Lamarr Buzzcocks years!
“… and he later became a big country member and we do remember don’t we. “. Surely his finest moment.
Sorry but best Mark Lamarr moment on Buzzcocks was him putting a bag on his head and repeatedly screaming "DIE" during a Chris DeBurgh VT
theshaunmeister I wish someone could dig out a video of that
Mark Lemarr was amazing and the best host of Buzzcocks!!
"Clammy hands" Partridge moment Mark even sounds a bit like Partridge when he says it.
Best intro: "Love don't live here anymore... not since Kurt shot himself anyway"
Will never have a host like Mark again. He was amazing. God bless nmtb
I miss this. Such good tv. Mark was great.
My favourite Lamarr moment was when he said this: "....Stuart Adamson who later became a Big Country member.
And remember we do!"
Stuart Adamson was a guest on the show the following week.
Beaten to that joke by about 30 years by Gough Whitlam. Who may not have been the first, come to think of it.
“Definition of countryside, the murder of Piers Morgan.” William Rushdon about 30 years ago.
Saw him headline the comedy tent at Phoenix ‘95. He was phenomenal.
The best host of any quiz show in history
Mark and Bill were an amazing combination!
The look on Jimmy Carrs face when Mark sings to him was priceless 🤣🤣🤣
Lamarr and Amstell were both brilliant in their own ways
But both were brilliant than the other
Sorry only mark
#8 - Ahh for the days when being able to play a record on a moment's notice was impressive!
Why is this guy not on TV? Legend!
He's gone back to being a music producer.
Because he's a drunk and a wife beater.
Paul Graham and coke head
@gwishart I thought he got kicked off for doing coke, back when that was about the worst thing you could get caught with...
@@20thcenturygamer22 Oh was that the reason?
Watched Lamar on Buzzcocks the first time around and had forgotten just how good it was!
I remember when comedy used to look like this
@djrmarky True.
One forgets how fucking amazing Mark was, fantastic to watch these clips again.....solitary weasel.....love it.
You missed his best one ever:
"Of course when he left this band he became a Big Country member."
"...and we all do remember."
Blethigg it was originally a Hector Nicol joke about being a country member of a club. Check him out on TH-cam. Warning he is not PC.
I love you Mark Lamarr.Very funny and great music at 9.30 for an hour on BBC2..yep I did press record on tape and still got them to play. hope you're well. thanks x
Please Please Please bring Mark Lamarr back to TV
The show only went downhill after Lamarr left. Legend.
Simon Amstell was hilarious too. After him tho, it was worse than shit
Tell me about it. Simon Amstell was a bellend!
Anyone who says that is chatting utter trash, everyone loved Amstell, he was a genius on it.
Noel Fielding said that Simon Amstell ruined Buzzcocks. So not everyone loved Amstell. I def didn't. Lamarr was def the best presenter on the show and when he left, I watched Amstell a little bit. Wasn't really a fan of Amstell myself but I guess if he presented before Lamarr and Lamarr came on afterwards, it would have been a great progression. To me though, it just went down hill from there.
King Gibbon Noel fielding ruined Buzzcocks
How can no 1 not be mark singing house of the rising sun?!?!?!?
*NOW* I remember why I used to love watching the original NMTB!
Mark Lamar has a great singing voice
Shooting stars, Have i got news for you and Never mind the Buzzcocks. Absolute comedy bliss and very much missed.
Rare footage of Preston actually enjoying himself
Dam you bea me to it lol
That's out of order.
Im now in love with Mark lamar.
* I'm *
* Lamar *
* Lamarr *.
Also I agree with you, quite the looker.
I could never work out how old Mark was when he was doing these shows in the 1990s.
The Greatest music comedy quiz of all time
I miss that bastard Lamarr, come back mate... I’ve hardly watched any tv in the last years, nothing on worth it!
1:08 The experts expert there and Lionel Blair.
Ah, the good old days, always ended up in stitches at this snarky party for anarchists
They definitely all had vodka In their mugs on this show
OH my goodness this was a very funny show and Mark Lamarr the best host, bring it back BBC
I worked on Buzzcocks for a few years. Remember the show with Preston. Amstel was only supposed to read from the book once but kept getting it out every five minute. A lot didn’t get shown including Preston crying and threatening to get Amstel after the show. Boy could that guy not take a joke.
In my head the score counters were always reverse xmas puddings lol
Spudsy 87 that’s because they were on Xmas episodes
Same
The man and no one ever beat him
RIP Sean Hughes miss you so much.
I wish Mark lemar hadn't left our screens
Twice I have seen Mark be genuinely scared of a guest.
One was Lemmy which is understandable the other was Jah Wobble. Wobble seems a really laid back kinda guy but there must be something about him in person. He would have been bass player in the Sex Pistols instead of Sid Vicious but Malcolm McLaren was too scared of Wobble.
I actually miss mark lamarr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was hilarious, had me and my mum in tears laughing every week watchin buzzcocks ! What a show ! 😂
Awesome show, all the hosts have been spot on. Different but brilliant in their own way
