Mark was severely underrated for his service on this show. Guy was a master at keeping a reign on everything and also popping the balloon sized egos of certain people. Also the wit of the man was unmatched, sharp as a tac! Wish he was still around today but it seems somewhat fitting for his character to have just went ‘Fuck it I can’t be arsed with any of you anymore, I’m gone’
I miss Buzzcocks so bad, one of the few TV shows that would constantly crease me up. Lamarr and Amstell we're both hilarious and often brutal to the guests, truly made for great TV.
What I miss about Marks presence on TV with Buzzcocks, and to a lesser extent with Simon Amstel, was the presence of at least one voice pointing out how absurd all this celebrity culture really was by taking the piss, these days there is so little room for dissenting voices young people get so swept away in the supposed legitimacy of the culture, be it social media or celebrity, and it is all taken so very seriously as there is nobody on a weekly basis on national television puncturing the pomposity of it all.
Bob Mortimer with the round where he explains the song title without using the words in the title - it sounds exactly like the sort of thing he always says anyway.
It seems like Mark Lamarr was only allowed to be in the nineties and then when the Millenium came about his obsolescense kicked in...we'll miss you Mark. You were so very good for such a short brilliant time....
that was great, took me back to nights when tv had funny stuff on and you laughed for a couple of hours, this, red dwarf, vic and bob, and many others, now theres not much on at all
Loved NMTB, much as I was into music and comedy I still can't express my admiration of the set builders .... Considering what a basic desk had to stand up to :)
Wossy: That was "Monkey Go Chop Banana" by Dan-I, and you've switched the track to make them look good because they're losing! You're better than this! Lamarr: _You're_ not.
Wow... how handsome was Mark Lamar. It’s weird how you look at people differently when you’re older. It never occurred to me that he was attractive before.
I preferred Mark’s acerbic wit, but still appreciate Simon Amstell’s cheekier wind ups. Mind you, when Noel Fielding became a team captain, I quit watching. Can not stand him.
@@CrystalClearBruv great comment, I miss them days and I'm only 35. God knows how this world will be in another 10 years, I don't even want to think about it. TV, films, music and general life was 10x better back in those days.
Mark was always the best host of NMTB, why? BECAUSE HE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT MUSIC! I got so fed up of Amstell making the same Sugarbabes joke every 30 seconds! We miss you Lamarr!
Amstell seemed to me like he was just doing an impression of Lamarrs abrasive but funny shtick, only dialed to eleven, and ended up coming out breathtakingly rude and yet unoriginal.
Lamarr was great, but so were the guests back then. There was generally a mix of real musicians with a good sense of humor (that might not even have been that famous or "current" at the time), not there solely to promote something and comedians that Knew a lot about music, the Amstell years was more about having random air headed pop stars of the moment for Simon to take the piss out of, which was at times really funny, but got boring very quickly. The gags always seemed less forced and more spontaneous back in the Lamarr days in my opinion.
Amstell was a horrible little weasel who found out who the guests were and compiled nasty jokes about them in advance. The guests were unprepared for this and not being professional comedians like Lee Mack or Jimmy Carr many of them floundered. Hughes, Jupitus and Lamarr's humour is much less scripted, much more impromptu and therefore greatly more entertaining.
You know what'd be real nice. It'd be real nice if there was an actual box set of all the Lamarr and Amstell seasons. I would happily pay for such a box set. But apparently the BBC doesn't want my money. Well, alright, that's a lie - they want to TAKE my money, whether I'm watching their current pitiful offerings or not, but they don't want me to offer my money in exchange for something I actually want.
i think he might be the type that doesn't perform well under pressure, which coincidentally is the lower case version of a duet Bowie did with Freddie Mercury, and which Vanilla Ice "borrowed" the bass line from for his Ice Ice Baby
Nikki Barrett his so called friends encouraged him to start drinking again because they said he was dull sober,he’d been dry for some years before starting again,it’s desperately sad 😞
@@ProdByPalmarius that's probably a very accurate depiction. A lot of the comedians back then was seriously funny. Trouble is now a days they have to bite their lip in fear of offending some snowflake. Unlike Frankie Boyle hence getting barred from shows like mock the week.
@@Funkymoped1980 It’s such bullshit that they pushed frankie out. The mans as liberal as it gets politically but god knows you can’t make an edgy joke even if you’re a hippy.
@@christopherbertoli7322 Mmm, true but when they were protecting Clarkson he was also the main part/a main part of their highest-grossing show. Not just one comedian on a panel show.
and yet.. by the end of the 90's.. Fashion stopped.. Nothing release in todays fashion is new.. I also love how Richard Fairbrass had a gay joke thrown at him and he didn't go ott offended.. Just looked at Mark and threw something back.. We really do live in a pathetic world now days.

Absolutely spot on!!!
BBC wouldn't air something like this again
@@GameSpyDarkAge They would. But they wouldnt get a guy like Lamarr or Amstell. Unless they get Frankie Boyle as host
@@GameSpyDarkAge turns out it's coming back :)
Love Amstell
The outfits worn on this show are tremendously underrated.
Phil's golden leopard print shirt features frequently in my dreams.
I want that fluffy shirt
It was the 90's. That was the style.
Underrated by who exactly? Rude.

ricky gervais is doing his part at least
So true
We’ll said
Thats why they ran out of guests 🤣
shhh.
Mark Lamarr was a brilliant host.
I miss him too.
THE best host of NMTB
Mez Hossain If one could buy a box set of all the seasons he did, I'd be all over that!
ammorreztristar I didn't mind him but I just found he was the worst autocue reader in the whole wide world. Honestly
Worst in the world, really? I mean, basic Google research will clear that one up.
Seans "oi" in park life gets me every time 😂
This is soooo much better and funnier than the more recent version with Greg
this show is just pure and utter gold start to finish, wish there was something like it today with the dry humour and hilarity
Lamarr was the best host. He gave Buzzcocks an identity then Simon carried it on. I love his rants especially on Robbie Williams Angels.
WITH MY FIST
I love it when he tells Jonathan Ross to shut the fuck up
Bob Mortimer with the round where he explains the song title without using the words in the title - it sounds exactly like the sort of thing he always says anyway.
Pink spotty rubber twat
Yeah that's just Bob XD
Bill Whittlingham and his hand lion.
Sean Hughes sadly missed. Lovely bloke and so funny.
Had the pleasure of meeting Sean Hughes at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny
I like how they gave Jonathan Ross webel webel. Very clever
Pretty sure it was just to take the piss out of his voice, but it was still funny.
Bwilliant 👏
Welease Bwian
Bob Mortimer just naming random cat related songs nearly killed me. xD
Gone but not forgotten.
Mark lammar back in the day Buzzcocks , standard 90s viewing
I liked Mark Lamarr as a host, i also dug Sean Hughes as a team captain, found him really funny.
RIP Sean Hughes
MARC LAMARR WAS THE KING ON THIS SHOW
Absolutely.
Mark Lamarr is a LEGEND
This is like stepping into a time machine. The key chain that plays a melody when you whistle...
"Pink, spotty, rubber twat"
"Mister Blobby"
This should be taught alongside Basho as perfect poetry.
And it still beat Cliff Richard to a christmas number one
Whereas the answer of course was David Cameron
It seems like Mark Lamarr was only allowed to be in the nineties and then when the Millenium came about his obsolescense kicked in...we'll miss you Mark. You were so very good for such a short brilliant time....
How do you mean? He quit the show in '05 lol. Just over half of his tenure was in the 2000s.
Was stuck in a Graham Norton Show loop for ages. Clicked on this and there he is!
14:36 Whenever I do Swords of a Thousand Men on karaoke, I always sing "barrel of fudge and a shawl" at that part. Thanks, Cathy Dennis!
MISS Mark and those days. I had everything.
A channel like Dave needs to do reruns off this show it’s top quality or at least release full episodes on this channel
They used to before Buzzcocks finished!
They're available on dailymotion
There's a torrent on 1337x of all of them, well, the good ones.
If They Ever Broadcast The Out-Takes Of This Brilliant Show , It Would Be A Smash Hit !!
I also loved the Buzzcocks and this makes me miss Sean - he was my favourite! I don't think it could ever be recreated and be as good!
Back in the days where I'd stay in just to watch a tv program, I miss these days.
Indeed.Nowadays you can watch your favourite programme anywhere, anytime.
yeah i miss that too
I am from Spain and I miss this show a lot. I don´t know why I just remember it and I looked for it, and still fun
Mark Lamarr's voice sounds so similar to Tom Hardy's impression of the Krays
Shit, you're right! I wondered through the movie what Toms voice reminded me of but I couldn't place it, lol.
Shit, you're right! I wondered through the movie what Toms voice reminded me of but I couldn't place it, lol.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
And he looks similar to tom hardys version of Ronnie
Omg i was just thinking this!
Miss Never Mind The Buzzcocks so much, wish they would bring it back.
Careful what you wish for....the relaunch is a bland, mild, conservative snooze fest.
RIP Sean Hughes💔
Omg I loved this show so much. Haven’t seen a better one since and it was best with Lamarr.
that was great, took me back to nights when tv had funny stuff on and you laughed for a couple of hours, this, red dwarf, vic and bob, and many others, now theres not much on at all
Dave still plays red dwarf some nights, but you are right. TV is no where near as entertaining as it used to be
Thank The Maker for Youtey. we can watch what we want when we want. Blessed Be.
9:45 that good old Stevie Wonder track: "Isn't She Mental?"
i see you come back to this over the years like me haha..
that line always makes me laugh
I come back to this video every now and again because I realise its almost a complete episode out of order with some other episodes spliced in there
Which episode is it mainly?
“Isn’t She Lovely” is one of my favorite moments on this!
I thought it was "Isn't She Mental"
Loved NMTB, much as I was into music and comedy I still can't express my admiration of the set builders .... Considering what a basic desk had to stand up to :)
Do you mean at 13:14?
Jesus, Norton looks about 15 😂😂😂 Lamarr was brilliant as the host of Buzzcocks.
Without argument, the best host of them all.
Still loving & miss Sean 2019 ❤️
Shaun was such a sharp guy, he was great on these shows, greatly missed
“You can’t take losing to a woman can you?”
“Not for cash”
Jonathon Ross was actually funny back then 🤣
Wossy: That was "Monkey Go Chop Banana" by Dan-I, and you've switched the track to make them look good because they're losing! You're better than this!
Lamarr: _You're_ not.
No he wasnt
I knew Bob Mortimer would be brilliant at the Songs In One Sentence round. Perfect for his humour 21:44
One of my favourite, and most accurate, descriptions "pink, spotty, rubber twat"
damn I still miss this show - TV gold right there.
I miss this show would love them to bring it back
Imagine how mark would've handled donny tourette
I think I would pay to see that!! XD
Would his helmet have gone blue?
Batter him apparently
Additionally, imagine how he would've handled Preston
he would dick on him :D
Wow... how handsome was Mark Lamar. It’s weird how you look at people differently when you’re older. It never occurred to me that he was attractive before.
Gay lord
What a weird gay thing to say. When I look at him, I see a hilarious man
My brother used to bare a shocking resemblance to him 😊
@@deputybluevein93 what a weird, homophobic thing to say. when I look at him, I see a hilarious, attractive man
@@deputybluevein93 Man can't believe I did homework about a homophobic planet
One of the Top 5 UK tv series of all time.
90s Graham Norton was a very different Graham Norton, kinda looks like the son of the current Graham Norton
Well, it's been over twenty years so... Age happens
Arran Boon that it does :/
not he's all bearded and classy
He was a Channel 4 man here, in the 90s Channel 4 was 'risqué', then he went to BBC and his approach was a bit more tame.
I don't think that'll be happening anytime soon..
Shame Mark vanished, he was hilarious
I think the BBC today wouldn't stand for Mark's way of hosting which is a real shame.
It was never the same when Mark Lamarr left
Imho Simon was really good, but Mark was even better.
1. Lamarr
2. Amstel
3. Frakie Boyle guest hosting
4. Everyone else guest hosting
I preferred Mark’s acerbic wit, but still appreciate Simon Amstell’s cheekier wind ups.
Mind you, when Noel Fielding became a team captain, I quit watching. Can not stand him.
Simon was the best IMO
I preferred Anstell but both were hilarious & I miss them both 👍
@@CrystalClearBruv great comment, I miss them days and I'm only 35. God knows how this world will be in another 10 years, I don't even want to think about it. TV, films, music and general life was 10x better back in those days.
oh god how i miss this show.... best laugh ive had in years
the part with bruce is one of my favorite nmtb parts ever. god i miss the early years of this show.
Yeah mine too! And I was even born when the episode aired!
"They never actually toured they just kept getting moved on" HAHAHAHAHAHA crease up
Mark was always the best host of NMTB, why? BECAUSE HE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT MUSIC!
I got so fed up of Amstell making the same Sugarbabes joke every 30 seconds!
We miss you Lamarr!
Amstell seemed to me like he was just doing an impression of Lamarrs abrasive but funny shtick, only dialed to eleven, and ended up coming out breathtakingly rude and yet unoriginal.
21:19 The best answer to 'why do you think that' in a quiz show ever
What a great trip down memory lane.
Can we get a DVD?
Not the first time a member of the glitter band has been in a line up.
Forgot how good this was at the start (not that it was bad at the end).
I really miss Sean, he was brilliant live. RIP
I always go "Ba Ba Ba Ba" now when I hear West End Girls

Zim Zimma I agree, the guy from right said Fred is actually hilarious, not just because he's gay.
I remember when David Cross was on Buzzcocks hosted by Simon and he barely talked. Would've been perfect for back then.
Could not agree more !!!
Amstell was a horrible little weasel who found out who the guests were and compiled nasty jokes about them in advance. The guests were unprepared for this and not being professional comedians like Lee Mack or Jimmy Carr many of them floundered. Hughes, Jupitus and Lamarr's humour is much less scripted, much more impromptu and therefore greatly more entertaining.
Matt Parkes . Oh go on ! Just try. Am sure you could agree a little bit more. Don't give up so soon. Let me know how it goes. Good luck, fella.
I ducking loved this show. Mark Lamar BRILLIANT and the Dame Edna impersonator was BRILLIANT too.
Good to see the late Shaun Hughes. RIP
I was horrified when I heard he died.
Very sad to hear he's no longer with us.
Usually when you say RIP on someone you spell their name correctly.
Best Buzzcocks era in my opinion. The latest incarnation is horrendous.
This was such a good show back in the day. |Just fun and funny, with good music. Also under Amstell.
"Pink. Spotty. Rubber. Twat" Classic
Still funny every time.
What ever happened to Mark Lammar .. just brilliant 😂
Wow never seen this Graham Norton was so young.
You know what'd be real nice. It'd be real nice if there was an actual box set of all the Lamarr and Amstell seasons. I would happily pay for such a box set. But apparently the BBC doesn't want my money.

I'm pleasantly surprised that jupitis is the only one who had the right foot work for a real moon walk lol
I love how with there style... you can't tell if it's late 80s, 90s, or early 2000s lol
Godddddd, I miss this show! Dayummmm😫😣
6:36 holy shit, never new Bruce Dickinson was in a 90's boy band
He wasn’t. He just got the boyband haircut!
This "another chance to miss" compilation was first TX 21st February 1997.
This was one of the best panel shows we ever had! It all went a bit down hill after simon Amstel
Graham Norton repping the Reebok Classics 👌
I suddenly feel much older than I did before I hit play.
Still mad I can't see this on any streaming service. Not even Iplayer. Good times in this show! Hells, Graham before he got big. :D
Every episode available on your favourite torrent site. 😉
I feel slightly ashamed but I just laughed so hard at the Stevie Wonder “flashed before his ears” gag that I may have done a little wee 😎 🎹

I don't believe it either. I think he was tryin to give the others team a chance. Very naughty, Mr Ross.
