I remember watching this episode and Costa's ability to not not take himself too seriously and just take the banter in good humour, actually completely changed my preconceived opinion of him.
All you have to do is be a good sport, or pretend to be, for an hour while a comedian shits on your entire career and you get instant respect! Good on you Antony Costa!
When a guest weathers the storm well, it's good advertising - wins over the audience and reinforces the fans. I bet his tour did a little bit better just because of this episode.
Apparently, it was cancelled due to lack of interest after only 15 people turned up on the first night. I wish I was joking, but that's genuinely what I remember hearing. Poor guy.
-"Do you still talk to them...?" " Yeah..." -"And what do you say" "Hello" -And who writes that?" You got to have an extremely thick skin to gulp things like that down but Antony was a fucking nice sport.
Antony is a very good sport! There's only 2 ways to desl with Amstell and A.Costa didn't wslk out like Preston, he took it on the chin! He's the kind of guy I would probably enjoy a drink down the pub with! I can't stand people who can't laugh at themselves! Big hugs Antony ♡
if you head on to that show then you knew you were in for a roasting MLM was the master though it's not that he was savage... he was worse! Fair play Anthony kudos for taking it #
he's been a really good sport every time he's been on buzzcocks and genuinely seems to know his music, not a blue fan but i now have respect for the guy
In all of Simons time as host he was probably never more mericiless with the pisstaking than he was towards Antony, but he still came out of it looking like a lovely bloke.
My theory about 4:25 to 4:40 is that Phill Jupitus was generously feeding Antony the first half of a joke, asking what's his favourite cheese and Antony hopefully replying "Blue!" to seal the gag. Unfortunately Antony doesn't get it, replies "Brie" and Phill awkwardly finishes the exchange.
I wonder whether they had a number of questions lined up for which the answer should have been "blue" but Simon decided to can it when Antony missed the first one. In Antony's defence though, I doubt that he was really looking out for something like that and was really just trying to keep his head down until the barrage was over. As others have said, I admire his stoicism and the fact that he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.
I used to work in the film industry (nothing glamorous ,just looking after sets n sometimes holding umbrellas to stop certain actors getting photographed) & worked on the set of one of Blues 1st videos...(Had to look after a car they were using in the shoot) just thought I would share that .does anyone care? Nope lol
Nah, this appearance would have been fantastic publicity for him. He remained good humoured while being gently tormented by Simon, that's the way you do it!
i don't know for sure but i imagine this definitely boosted costa's profile, all publicity is good and his tour probably sold more tickets then if he had just been floating around in obscurity for the past five years
What a star...well done !!! Took it all and still smiled... Simon was there to take the piss and Anthony did really well. That was the show... nothing to do with bullying... you went on there … expect someone to rip you apart.
To be fair to Anthony I've never seen anyone on this show get grilled this badly. He took it in his stride and he's up for a laugh. Fair play Anthony alot of people would have got upset. Eg: Preston, Donnie Tourette etc.
Seen Antony on a couple of things, comes across a sound guy. He done well up against Amstell because he can be brutal, he got his fireworks pissed on here! & Mr Costa earned a lot of respect.
Took it well. I remember when Simon Amstel did stand up and bombed at the Leeds Festival, he tried doing a dance to recover it and failed. Not enough material haha

Took quite a merciless ribbing with good humour - seems able to take the piss out of himself
berlinmitte10117 - Dying & crying inside though 😰😭 😂😂😂
His appearances on NMTB made me a fan of him as a person. He takes it all so well.
Chaz Dadkhah he took it well enough anyway. Sure everyone would be a little bit fucked off after getting slaughtered for however long it was.
Costa was mauled, but he took it like a man rather than flouncing off like that prick Preston.
Absolutely fair play to Anthony for how well he took all of this, took it on the chin like a champ
Simon is pretty brutal in this episode. Good on Antony for being such a sport about it.
No, I think Simon knew just how far he could push Anthony. It was when that stupid woman laid into Anthony I didn't like it. Shut up.
@@richl6966 huh? what woman?
Brutal?? It's all banter and good fun.
@@ageingfast No wonder you're aging fast....
Totally respect it.
I met him a few days after this and he was humble, funny and a great sport. Decent guy.
Just watched him and Simon on celebrity coach trip and thought they came across really well. Quiet, humble, friendly.
One of the more mature celebrities on NMTB, didn't get all butthurt at Simon.
And god only knows Simon went fucking in on this one too.
I remember watching this episode and Costa's ability to not not take himself too seriously and just take the banter in good humour, actually completely changed my preconceived opinion of him.
Top class guy. Has my respect
No one cares, Mikey.
I care Mikey
I loved your opinion, Mike.
@@colin-campbell zip it Colin.
@@bigkuriboh3814 🤣
Didn't like costa before episode. Afterwards, respect risen substantially.
All rise.
All you have to do is be a good sport, or pretend to be, for an hour while a comedian shits on your entire career and you get instant respect! Good on you Antony Costa!
Massive respect to Antony Costa for being a good sport
My favourite which wasn't included was "I bet Stevie Wonder gets people come up to him all the time saying "didn't you do that song with Blue?""
"Aren't you that bloke out of Blue?"
Stevie Wonder's Guide Band.
Lol I watched the vid expecting that one! Was absolutely hilarous
Kate Nash's comment sounded like a genuine insult. At least Simon Amstell was obviously joking.

-"Do you still talk to them...?"
" Yeah..."
-"And what do you say"
"Hello"
-And who writes that?"
You got to have an extremely thick skin to gulp things like that down but Antony was a fucking nice sport.
That's mild
"Nice sport" I hope in the 11 years since you wrote this comment you've learnt its good sport .
@@sinofman2479 Why the fuck did you reply to an 11 year old comment? Slow progress day?
@@Atombender because fuck you ,thats why .
This would make anyone like him if they didn’t like him before. Guy can take some serious shells
He’s always been an easy target for taking the piss, but he’s also always been a great sport and able to take a joke. Fair play to him.
"I'm a big fan of Blue"
"No you're not"
hilarious :D
Got the City on Lockdown.... Those lyrics aged remarkably well 😂
Antony is a very good sport! There's only 2 ways to desl with Amstell and A.Costa didn't wslk out like Preston, he took it on the chin! He's the kind of guy I would probably enjoy a drink down the pub with! I can't stand people who can't laugh at themselves! Big hugs Antony ♡

In all of Simons time as host he was probably never more mericiless with the pisstaking than he was towards Antony, but he still came out of it looking like a lovely bloke.
Nah he was way worse towards Danny Dyer, Anthea Turner, Preston and Donny Tourette to name just a few.
Jermaine Jackson took an absolute ripping and handled it really well
I have never seen anybody get taken apart as well as Antony Costa was. Fair play to Antony he took it all in his stride.
My theory about 4:25 to 4:40 is that Phill Jupitus was generously feeding Antony the first half of a joke, asking what's his favourite cheese and Antony hopefully replying "Blue!" to seal the gag. Unfortunately Antony doesn't get it, replies "Brie" and Phill awkwardly finishes the exchange.

It'd be fucking great if it was a next-level play by Antony to take Jupitus down by breaking his joke on purpose, :P
@@ParadigmZwei I am not sure Antony Costa operates on that kind of level.
I think Antony Costa just likes brie.
@@Jackaljkljkl anthony, what is your favourite colour?
yellow.
what type of films do you like?
musicals.
@@dave101t Anthony, what''s your favourite colour on a Blackburn Rovers shirt?
"White"
To be fair to Mr. Costa, he knew the lyrics from some time ago which he hadn't written which is better than many on the show
Costa was such a good sport
That was brutal, fair play to Antony for having a laugh and going with it.
'i just promoted your fukin tour' that was my favourite bit lol
When Antony Costa becomes your favourite member of blue
Good sport!
Good on you Costa, took it in the spirit! Hilarious ripping
I JUST PROMOTED YOUR FUCKING TOUR!
I have a whole new respect for anthony costa! fair play!
" I bloody love Blue" Simon Amstell
"i just promoted your fucking tour!!!" lol i love simon
I saw Antony in blood brothers and his acting and voice were great, I was pleasantly surprised!
He’s a good sport. I like him.
He takes it well, good on him!
Antony Costa was brilliant in this. He took it so well because Simon really went in on him. Brilliant TV
"we wrote some of our own stuff. we did." "yeah but that's-come on..."
I used to work in the film industry (nothing glamorous ,just looking after sets n sometimes holding umbrellas to stop certain actors getting photographed) & worked on the set of one of Blues 1st videos...(Had to look after a car they were using in the shoot) just thought I would share that .does anyone care? Nope lol
I care cause I love Blue especially Lee and Antony 😃😃
Petrol and lighter please
I care
This appearance reinvigorated his career. And made Kate Nash look terrible in retrospect.
Yeah she was pretty cringeworthy with that insult
Always thought that his response to the question n answer session should have been
"Anthony, whats your favourite cheese?"
"Blue!!"
When was the last time you had the city on lockdown ? Haha
aww he's such a good sport!
ALways hated Blue, at least Anthony is a genuinely nice bloke who can laugh at himmself
"During the Blue days Anthony Costa was thrown at Bryan Adams!!!!!" LOL
"Bounce. Bounce. Luuunge."
Ahaha Simon
"when was the last time you had the city on lockdown?" well, now...
Love Anthony. It's always better when you don't take yourself to seriously and he never did
This is the best episode...I can watch it again and again and it's still funny... Poor Anthony, though :)
Nah, this appearance would have been fantastic publicity for him. He remained good humoured while being gently tormented by Simon, that's the way you do it!
"System up with the top downnn"
i don't know for sure but i imagine this definitely boosted costa's profile, all publicity is good and his tour probably sold more tickets then if he had just been floating around in obscurity for the past five years
The finest roasting before it was a thing 😂
Actual legend
Best example of sharp knife and thick skin, ever.
Respect to all involved. Hats off.
What a star...well done !!! Took it all and still smiled... Simon was there to take the piss and Anthony did really well. That was the show... nothing to do with bullying... you went on there … expect someone to rip you apart.
He seems like a really cool guy
Love Costa in this. Took it all as a joke and had a laugh with it. Top guy
he actually came back on several times to get the piss taken out of him, and to let simon prepare.
"I just promoted your fucking tour!" 😂
Take note Preston, this is how you do it.
I love people like Anthony, who don't mind if the piss gets taken out of them and actually have a sense of humor.
Top class humility. I doth my cap to young Anthony.
he was such a good sport, big respect to antony costa :)
Wow he took so many jabs, but it was so hilarious. This made me smile/laugh so much my cheeks hurt.
His face looks bummed lol
lee been in the show and he took the jokes very well
"when was the last time you had the city on lock down " HAHAHAHA
This was fuckin hilarious, the best ripping i think ive ever seen on Buzzcocks
I wish he'd replied "Blue" to the cheese Q
"What do you mean I'm out of order?! I just promoted your _fucking_ tour!"
Just makes me like Anthony Costa..he got a roasting and laughed his tits off through most of it
To be fair to Anthony I've never seen anyone on this show get grilled this badly. He took it in his stride and he's up for a laugh. Fair play Anthony alot of people would have got upset. Eg: Preston, Donnie Tourette etc.
Best guest. Super good sport
This is crazily edited
Good man, Antony!
Seen Antony on a couple of things, comes across a sound guy. He done well up against Amstell because he can be brutal, he got his fireworks pissed on here! & Mr Costa earned a lot of respect.
I remember watching this episode, I was fucking hilarious!
Costa just gets roasted 😂🤣
No?!
this is my FAV episode of NMTB
simon is a legend!!!
Took it well. I remember when Simon Amstel did stand up and bombed at the Leeds Festival, he tried doing a dance to recover it and failed. Not enough material haha
3:32 🤣😂 perfect response
He took it well. Fairplay!
Anthony Costa. Great sport.
Credit to "Anthony" for taking it.
He was such a good sport,that was a grilling!
That was brutal, was simon hoping for Preston mark 2 and a full walk off scenario !
"When WAS the last time you had the city on lockdown?"
I mean it’s a tough act to go on there as a former boy band member, but he made the best of it.
‘Which part did you write?’
‘And’
😂
came across really well good sport
Fair play Antony, took it in very good grace. Agree with the comment about Preston, what a fanny flap he was.
my parents actually came downnstairs i was laughing so hard.
Took it like a man. Top guy
Fair play to Costa for taking that merciless ribbing, some people (Preston) wouldn't stand up to it..
Although in Preston's case he was ribbing his fiance
@pulrh, though 6 months a bit late,
It's this same episode, under S22. I forgot what eps. it was though.
Last laugh is with him. His coffee chain is massive.
Guy took it on the chin. Liked him after this appearance.
Everyone needs to watch this before they’re a guest on never mind the buzzcocks and just take notes
The office! Right! Thanks!
Wow he ripped him to bits man brilliant 😂😂😂
