😂One of Ricky's best routines; BRILLIANT👍👍.
I'm glad Ricky has found better suits these days.
Professor Swaggamuffin funny thing is he was really proud of this suit. Spent a good bit of money on it too!
Yeah, i noticed that it looked like shit too lol
@@professorswaggamuffin7572 you either don't get the point of sharing inside jokes, or you don't know that what you said is one. Which is it? 🤔
£29,-
Still though, 29 quid
Funniest comedian of all time imo. He is just completely on point in every word he says, his delivery is absolute perfection
Pfp checks out
@@jacobwebb8818Checks out of what? Rehab?
Everyone saying it wasn’t an egg ...it’s just a comedy bit! AND he even says it’s not in the rhyme itself.
Monkeyslut it clearly is an egg.
An egg with eyes.
And trousers.
How could you blatantly ignore the pictorial evidence
What’s interesting to me is how these nursery rhymes lasted hundreds of years. My guess is that children enjoy silly and absurd stories (that seem to always involve grievous bodily harm).
Like getting kicked in the balls :D
I don’t think you need guess about that one
You are awesome my nursery rhyme s love this
The weird thing is, it never says in the humpty dumpty rhyme that he is an egg.
Ricky says that during the vid...
That's because it was not an egg, apparently no one can say for sure what or who it was, but certainly not an egg.
TheAzynder most likely explanation is it was a cannon.
TheAzynder humpty was a siege machine ( royal) that was set on a wall ... during the siege of Gloucester during the English civil war ... fell of the causeway while being moved and could not be repaired by the kings men ! Gloucester survived the siege with 9 cannon balls left in the city ... later depicted in the city flag .
Because Humpty dumpty was a large cannon used in the Civil War when the Royalists were defending Colchester from the Roundheads. It was badly designed and blew up a defensive wall when fired, and the King's Cavalry could not defend the breach.
Just mentioning- humpty dumpty was a name given to a canon that was placed on top of a castle wall in some war and it was very big and then it fell, and because it was so heavy (and i think it broke or something) they couldn't get it back up

Sounds like one of those made up explanations.

That's actually pretty interesting if that's true. Who the fuck names a cannon Humpty-dumpty though? God forbid that person ever had children.
@@MbBadd This took ten seconds. Take a look at all the other theories about the origins of this nursery rhyme. Of course it was never a cannon. It's all made up after the fact just to sound interesting.

OOOHHHHHH
little bo peep-
And Jack came sweating after?
For those wondering, Humpty Dumpty survived & went on to work as a producer for Ricky.
Is that why all his work became shit?

@@heli-crewhgs5285 yeah, sorry. I am usually more careful with how I present myself, but as soon as I was just having some fun here, I didn't think it was needed. Hope you have a good day.
@Rob Rob listen man I can't spell for shit
@@heli-crewhgs5285 shut up jesser
The moral to humpty dumpty is don't expect ppl in power to put the pieces back together for u they will just need it up
Mess it up
Ricky did say that he only knew it was an egg by just looking at the pictures not by the actual meaning by Humpty Dumpty
I'm sure Karl Pilkington would disagree or have a loop hole to the story...
The nursery rhyme book about humpty dumpty when I was little had the illustration of an egg also.
Sorry, if that's why we thought that.
Look up his xfm days with Steve and Karl all the material came from those they're a great listen
The rhyme does not explicitly state that the subject is an egg, possibly because it may have been originally posed as a riddle. There are also various theories of an original "Humpty Dumpty". One, advanced by Katherine Elwes Thomas in 1930 and adopted by Robert Ripley, posits that Humpty Dumpty is King Richard III of England, depicted as humpbacked in Tudor histories and particularly in Shakespeare's play, and who was defeated, despite his armies, at Bosworth Field in 1485.
Punch in 1842 suggested jocularly that the rhyme was a metaphor for the downfall of Cardinal Wolsey; just as Wolsey was not buried in his intended tomb, so Humpty Dumpty was not buried in his shell.
Professor David Daube suggested in The Oxford Magazine of 16 February 1956 that Humpty Dumpty was a "tortoise" siege engine, an armoured frame, used unsuccessfully to approach the walls of the Parliamentary-held city of Gloucester in 1643 during the Siege of Gloucester in the English Civil War. This was on the basis of a contemporary account of the attack, but without evidence that the rhyme was connected. The theory was part of an anonymous series of articles on the origin of nursery rhymes and was widely acclaimed in academia, but it was derided by others as "ingenuity for ingenuity's sake" and declared to be a spoof. The link was nevertheless popularised by a children's opera All the King's Men by Richard Rodney Bennett, first performed in 1969.
From 1996, the website of the Colchester tourist board attributed the origin of the rhyme to a cannon recorded as used from the church of St Mary-at-the-Wall by the Royalist defenders in the siege of 1648. In 1648, Colchester was a walled town with a castle and several churches and was protected by the city wall. The story given was that a large cannon, which the website claimed was colloquially called Humpty Dumpty, was strategically placed on the wall. A shot from a Parliamentary cannon succeeded in damaging the wall beneath Humpty Dumpty, which caused the cannon to tumble to the ground. The Royalists (or Cavaliers, "all the King's men") attempted to raise Humpty Dumpty on to another part of the wall, but the cannon was so heavy that "All the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put Humpty together again". Author Albert Jack claimed in his 2008 book Pop Goes the Weasel: The Secret Meanings of Nursery Rhymes that there were two other verses supporting this claim. Elsewhere, he claimed to have found them in an "old dusty library, [in] an even older book", but did not state what the book was or where it was found. It has been pointed out that the two additional verses are not in the style of the seventeenth century or of the existing rhyme, and that they do not fit with the earliest printed versions of the rhyme, which do not mention horses and men.
Thanks for the essay!

A touch of the Eddie Izzards coming up to the 3:00 mark, and probably making a better job of Eddie Izzard than the man himself. He also reminds me of the great Tommy Cooper. I saw Tommy live once, and we were crying with laughter while Tommy hadn't said a word, but was doing it all with the tiniest of gestures. Ricky is a master of the understated gesture gag.
There's no way horses could mend a cannon.
Little Boy Blew....he needed the money
There's a joke in there about french toast but I'm too lazy to make it
alright then,keep your secrets
Humpty Dumpty was not an egg.
It was a canon in the royal army during the English civil war.
The Roundheads destroyed the battlements it was stood on, it fell and the brittle iron cracked. “And all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn’t put Humpty together again.”
One theory is that it was a siege engine yes, but it was anthropomorphised sometime in the late 19th Century.
I heard it represented Cardinal Wolsey and his fall from the favour of Henry VIII, but I’ve heard the cannon story also.
It's an egg in the cartoons
John Lennon " I am the Eggman I am the Eggman... Goo guu gee jeu". That was supposed to be messy I guess ???
Much funnier than when he did this joke in america.
lol humpty dumpty wasnt an egg, it was a cannon.
"Warning This clip contains strong language and adult humour" It's Rickey Gervais... strong language and adult humour is why I clicked this!
Never once in the rhyme does it say Humpty was an egg. So seriously, what is the moral?
One theory is that Humpty Dumpty was a nickname for a cannon, which supposedly suffered a destructive fate and couldn't be repaired.
Pictorial evidence
Moral = hardboil your eggs properly.

Nobody ever said humpty dumpty was an egg...

Hi everyone! 👋🏼
Listen; I don’t give a fuck about the research, cannons or anything else…
HUMPTY DUMPTY IS AN EGG.
What in Humpty Dumpty mentions an egg? Nothing. Some 18th century fool thought it must have been a riddle and the solution was "he's an egg!". It was never a riddle!
The picture

brilliant
It’s funny cause no one actually said in the rhyme that humpty was an egg.
3:00
Yo this is old as fuck. Great material though
Humpty Dumpty was supposed to be a cannon wasn't it? Not an egg
Since when was Humpty Dumpty ever said to be an egg? He was just a bloke who fell off a wall and cracked his skull open...
You watched the whole thing right? He said, right in the bit, that he only knows this from pictorial evidence. The "Mother Goose" and similar books we had growing up all showed him as an egg, in a drawing.
@@Psychlist1972 Yes, but he still treats the story with consideration of the pictures, unlike my comment.

Oh dear God, I always thought he fell down and broke his crayon. Raise your hand if you're an idiot. Me : 🙋🏼♀️
You’d think a multi-millionaire could get a tailored suit rather than an off-the-rack oversized one that makes him look even shorter and fatter than he is... Lucky he’s funny.
He doesn’t dress to flaunt his wealth you ignoramus
many "tailored" over priced designer suits are made to look crap on purpose thats the style.. hell who knows and who gives a crap what hes wearing.. amused how many of yall complain about his clothes
This is why society is going backwards. I get jokes, but there is also jokes of substance to be had.
Just saying.
Not funny .. i mean not ricky funny. Its okay
