I've quoted him so many times over the years.... my friends are sure I am him, especially now, with the hair.. Then they noticed him running...... and yep. How to tell us apart hahaha. BUNCH OF FLOWERSSSSS.. I'm 46, watched him since 1990 ish? Had 3 box sets. One was to replace loaned out one, never again. But well worth it. Live at the Ambassador's.... Creased. Seen him live twice in his comedy shows... and once in the play, The Life and Death of Joe Egg. Had a 5 minute convo about childbirth and labour... so funny. Legend.
It's a pretty sound bet, that if you're meeting someone new, and you find out they love this guy..... it is, a pretty sound bet indeed, that I will like them, and they won't turn into a tosser like most. You can't be a fan and be anything but 'relaxed and groovy man...'. ❤❤❤❤ to all fellow Eddie worshippers hahaha. He's also the reason I got into politics. My only criticism. Haha. Dangerously educational
that's one i haven't seen before. i was laughing so hard durring the middle bit that i cried. i was on the verge of sobbing and in pain i laughed so much. beautiful!
The question is, was Stephans promoted from the Death Star canteen to Accounts on the Enterprise, or did he go from Accounts on the Enterprise to manager of the Death Star canteen?
Eddie Izzard uses the name Stevens/Stephens all over his monologues, if you pay close attention. Used as a go-to name for a bureaucratic straight-face guy.
I love watching those old star trek episodes, the effects and some of the aliens and monsters are hilarious. Everytime captain kirk has a fight with some creature his top always gets torn in the same place, and it's to show what a brave hero he is. Eddie gets it spot on about the clipboards and the backgrounds when they beam down. They are mostly just some rocks and the same coloured background. Also, the one or two men who get beamed down in different coloured tops always seem to get it. It happens in every episode. You would think they should just beam down the main characters, or at least have the other men wear the same colour tops. Love it.
The red shirts effect. When the stars beamed down you knew it was okay, but when they beamed down with a couple of red shirts you were just waiting for them to die 😁
Repeatedly watching Eddie Izzard's DRESSED TO KILL got me through a terrible bout with chicken pox a few yeasr ago. He's great, and it's the expressions on his face as much as the words coming out of his mouth.
The thing about all the Star Trek universe that confused me was the apparent 24/7 routine of the central characters. In TOS, for instance, the chain of command was: Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Sulu, Ohura, Chekov (Note: McCoy could remove any member - including the captain - from duty, for medical or psychological reasons, but could not normally take command.) Including McCoy, all 7 of those people were on shift at the same time. To those reading this, I'm sure you can figure out where the rest of this would be heading...
Alleycat 27 Holy fuck! IT'S AN EDDIE IZZARD STAND UP SEGMENT! I love star trek as much as the next geek but there are forums for your type of question! Lighten up and laugh! or do you have a sense of humour? You a real life Sheldon Cooper?
Chris... Holy fuck! It just an observation. Lighten up and appreciate the opportunity to answer a Star Trek question ... as I never once said I was a geek or in love with Star Trek. I merely stated a matter of confusion. Typical of being a Star Trek geek, you should be very happy a woman cared enough to even create a post about Star Trek, muchless make a statement that implies a question. As for the Izzard's humor: 1. It's long been known that there is a lot of truth in a joke. 2. Given this, a comedian's jokes are often an opinion, observation or interpretation of reality. 3. Jokes are subjective, not all of them land in comical fashion. 4. I am lightened up and would readily laugh, if I found his material funny. 5. As I said, in the previous paragraph, perhaps you should take your own advice and lighten up - How often does a Star Trek geek ever get the chance to interact with an attractive woman - much less have that woman mention Star Trek? 6. What do you do about it? You try to alienate her! I'm no Sheldon Cooper. I'm a redhead version of Penny. You are obviously a real life version of Howard Wolowitz.
Your condescension and arrogance make you unattractive, regardless of what you look like (which I can't judge on YT). And most "Star Trek geeks" interact quite often with (both physically and mentally) attractive women. Some of us are attractive women. And most of us are intelligent, which is considered attractive to a lot of people.
Star Fleet has a standard 6 hour duty shift as well as in Earth jobs. People no longer have to work 8 hours or more since the workers revolution that changed that. 6 hours equals full time.
The main crew on the ship would show up at 8 in the morning then after 6 hours be replaced by a second crew with the captain passing the con to a higher ranking officer, not Spock because he's off too but another lieutenant. There are 430 service men and women on the ship each having a rank.
Oh wow that was absolutely fantabulous! I had to pause it to catch my breath. The most memorable: the machine that went widdly-we and the settings of the ice cream truck nearby, sudden interest in botany and depression. Thank you so much for positing this.
No, he is a comedian. He is simply doing what he does best, and he is bloody good at. I love star trek, always have, and everything he said was true and bloody hilarious!!
This is probably the best sketch of his I've seen so far (IMO) :D And I know I read a comment below saying 'don't watch trek it sucks, watch stargate', well I happen to be a fan of both, they both have their moments of brilliance :)
The last setting is my mom! Everytime we get in the car check, twice that we got everything, pull to the end of the block and "Did I leave the oven on?" It might vary with the heater and the window. But she bakes a lot, so it's usually the oven.
Omg.. "Oven left on at home setting"...OOO SHIT... AHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAA!!!!!! I will never be able to watch them beam down again without thinking "an oval of gravel with six big rocks in the back...Captain, strong deja vu here...Captain this entire planet is made of widdly wigs...
My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Syrians, or Iraqis on "Star Trek." I told him ''It's because it takes place in the future.
He DID miss the main "shtick" for Bones. "God dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a _______!" That's rather writing it's own material once the thought's occurred :D
I love how they explained scotty never being able to do anything in TNG, he was just bullshitting every time to make him seem like a miracle worker lmao
I must have been hit by a phaser set to "procrastinate the afternoon away watching TH-cam instead of doing housework before the misses gets home and gives me a right bollocking" setting.
Spock "Captain I'm very annoyed with uhura." I love it hilarious. Last one in the energiser room is a wanker. widleewee. hilarious. Ice cream van near by setting. I love his impression of James Mason.
I love Eddie izzard so much. When I'm depressed I just watch him and i feel better.
Me too! works every time.
I've quoted him so many times over the years.... my friends are sure I am him, especially now, with the hair..
Then they noticed him running...... and yep. How to tell us apart hahaha.
BUNCH OF FLOWERSSSSS..
I'm 46, watched him since 1990 ish?

❤❤❤❤ to all fellow Eddie worshippers hahaha. He's also the reason I got into politics. My only criticism. Haha. Dangerously educational
But then the clip ends and it’s back into that pit of despair
He's brilliant! Same here! Lifts my spirit when I'm sad!💙
what i would give for a star trek episode where the words were uttered "set phasers to sudden interest in botany".
Maybe in another time line, lol
This never gets old.
"Captain, this entire planet is made is widdly wee."
I've referenced this more times than I care to remember.
my fave out of all his live shows.
hold on I've left the oven on
Alistair McGowan as Eddie izzard in star trek 😃
Well, that explains it then: it really all IS made out of widdly wee!
Miriam Jacobs :)
JadeEyes1 Certainly makes atomic theory obsolete.
I been watching this video for years and I still laugh as hard as I watched it the first time
The depression setting is essentially what happened to the Vogons at the end of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.
Eh.. Marvin shot them with the point of view gun. Thus giving them his grand old point of view.
Needless to say it didn't help them.
klingons on finger 3..lol. Never get tired of this guy.The best
I love his expression when he acts our the 'Left oven on at home' setting. XDDD
Eddie Izzard is so amazingly funny.
"I think what matters more is having the freedom to do whatever makes you happy, regardless of what others think. "
Well said!!!
Eddie Izzard is one funny guy! And he has been throughout his whole career.
This is a riot!!! Especially for Star Trek fans.
that's one i haven't seen before. i was laughing so hard durring the middle bit that i cried. i was on the verge of sobbing and in pain i laughed so much. beautiful!
"Captain, this entire planet is made of widdly-wee." xD Genius!
"Captain. The cats eatin the crystals and were spittin up hair balls all over the galaxy."
This is down right hilarious. Depression setting, but the bad eye sight setting hilarious.
Been watching this clip for years...
NEVER take it down. EVER...
"Ah canna change the laws of Physics, Captain!"
the captain's log made me laugh so hard I blew the food off my fork
how does that even happen
Captain's Log. Supplemental.
The question is, was Stephans promoted from the Death Star canteen to Accounts on the Enterprise, or did he go from Accounts on the Enterprise to manager of the Death Star canteen?
Eddie Izzard uses the name Stevens/Stephens all over his monologues, if you pay close attention. Used as a go-to name for a bureaucratic straight-face guy.
This tray is wet, this tray is wet..... lmao 🤣
I lost my shit through the Dr. Mccoy bit. Omg I couldn't breathe!
You lost control of your bowels and suffering from asphyxiation? Sounds like a really bad day.
The rest of them are just looking at him. "What's all that about, Stevens?"
"And the rest of them just looking at him, like..." xD
We should all live in the world of Eddie izzard,such a happy place for me
I’ve been ill today but Izzard marathon has cured me😁

The guys in the red shirts are killed.
The red shirts effect. When the stars beamed down you knew it was okay, but when they beamed down with a couple of red shirts you were just waiting for them to die 😁
If I lived on the Enterprise I'd open a stall on level 6 selling clipboards...
I'd dye all my red shirts black 😁
"Oven left on at home setting". Get's me every time LOL! :-)
Met him today served him in my shop and got his autograph
You lucky bugger.
This guy makes me laugh so hard my stomach hurts!
"I can give you 30 miles an hour in a week"
Hilarious!!!
Set your phasers to Bit of a Cough.
A CAT'S EATING THE DYLITHIAM CRYSTALS!!!
I love the Danger Mouse theme song playing in the background. Brilliant...
Repeatedly watching Eddie Izzard's DRESSED TO KILL got me through a terrible bout with chicken pox a few yeasr ago. He's great, and it's the expressions on his face as much as the words coming out of his mouth.
Holy hell that transporter gag had me laughing so hard it hurt!
Classic stuff -- trek fans (like me) love this stuff! Incredible!
"Set phasers on 'limp'"
That's hilarious!
OMG! i can't believe i've never heard of this guy until last week. absolutely hilarious!!!
"The cat's eating the dilithium crystals, you see..." Oh my God I laughed my ass off xD
"He's the greatest, he's fantastic, whenever there is danger, he'll be there!"
Oh yes, and the man who played Dr. Bashir is also part Arabic himself. He's an adorable character and the actor does not play stereotypes. :D
bones! spock! jim! spock! bones! JIM!!
A real genius. I remember first seeing him on a show hosted by Ben Elton in (i think) the late 80's. Truly original and utterly hillarious.
That’s around the time he did my favourite set which is the; Raised by Wolves routine, really worth checking David

Thank you so much for positing this.
"Its the Klingons on finger two, Captain." Ahahaha. Awesome. :)
lol i think sulu must have been hit with sudden intrest in botany setting once!
does anyone remember the episode with the salt eating shape-shifter?
"What's all that about, Stevens?" ROFLMAO!!
V A October = Vulcan ass off, lol
No, he is a comedian. He is simply doing what he does best, and he is bloody good at. I love star trek, always have, and everything he said was true and bloody hilarious!!
"Last one down to the energizer rooms a wanker." lmao. wish I was a Brit.
Eddie Izzard makes my cry with laughter. So funny.
This is probably the best sketch of his I've seen so far (IMO) :D
And I know I read a comment below saying 'don't watch trek it sucks, watch stargate', well I happen to be a fan of both, they both have their moments of brilliance :)
The last setting is my mom!
Everytime we get in the car check, twice that we got everything, pull to the end of the block and "Did I leave the oven on?"
It might vary with the heater and the window. But she bakes a lot, so it's usually the oven.
Is this the same Mr Stevens from Star Wars?
nah he wasn't from Accounts; he was Head of Catering
Probably his best work, right after all his other work
"Bit of a cough setting!" LOOOOOOOL!
"steering wheels.. too many steering wheels!" LOL

Omg.. "Oven left on at home setting"...OOO SHIT...

He DID miss the main "shtick" for Bones. "God dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a _______!" That's rather writing it's own material once the thought's occurred :D
I love how they explained scotty never being able to do anything in TNG, he was just bullshitting every time to make him seem like a miracle worker lmao
The greatest living stand up comic.
I LOVE EDDIE IZZARD! Brilliant!

"I thought I was beamin' down."
Fukken signed, man. Best line in the whole skit :D
I live on a widdly wee planet!
I must have been hit by a phaser set to "procrastinate the afternoon away watching TH-cam instead of doing housework
before the misses gets home and gives me a right bollocking" setting.
Jiiiim, Spock! SpockJim How long have I known you? Christ's sake Spock, Jiiim
LMFAO!
It's true they do sign a lot of clip boards on the Enterprise.😂
Absolutely unbeatable!
Took me ages to remember what that theme tune is, which is a shame, because its one of the best cartoons ever :D
1:16-1:35 BEST EVER!! " he probably had a twix down there.." his face at 1:19 is PRICELESS
"Captain, this entire planet is made of widdlywi!"
loved it!
"Bear with me, please; I've worked out a hundred of these..." :-)

Limp setting; priceless!

holy crap the beaming down got me in trouble at work for laughing so hard
Spock "Captain I'm very annoyed with uhura."
I love it hilarious.
Last one in the energiser room is a wanker.
widleewee. hilarious. Ice cream van near by setting. I love his impression of James Mason.
They actually had a big dramatic scene of them backing the Enterprise out of the garage in the third movie.
his inflection is what makes him fucking hilarious.
"And the rest are just looking at him."
Cracked my ass UP!
I want a Phaser with Limp setting!
Love the intro music that's 1000x louder than the video. Thanks.
HILARIOUS! Eddie Izzard is the Dog's Bollocks!
"Uhura.. i'm not happy" lol i like that xD and the Bones impression
I never watched the original series, but I just saw the new star trek movie. I recognized Bones immediately based on this skit, lol! Thanks, Eddie!
This is some of his best !
"yes, you've got a machine, well done"
The cats eatin the litheum christles. LMAO
This gut is so intellagent.
Eddie is obviously a fan of Star Trek, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take the mickey so very, VERY brilliantly.
JIM! JIM! CHRIST! JIM! JIM! ME! BONES
