Of course I skipped Not The Nine O'Clock News. I don't remember it inspiring much reciting.
The Fast Show indeed resulted in many reciters. Mainly catch phrases though.
Python was the one people dedicatedly recited entire sketches from, often collaborating to re-enact all the roles in a sketch.
Sad to think the young people have missed all that.
I missed actually seeing The Fast Show, the 90s being my TV-less years.
Remember fondly my Woody Allen, Bob Newheart, Steven Wright, Bill Hicks, Derek and Clive, Connolly and all the rest tapes. The way I took my comedy in the 90s.

Indeed. Although it's hard to knock "completely newscasted" as a euphemism for being drunk.
A lot of the catchphrase-based comedy sticks in the mind pretty easily. With Dad & I being avid Vic Reeves Big Night Out viewers back in the day, anything of low quality is even now usually dismissed as "very poor" (said in appropriate voice) in our household. Likewise, my Nan's inability to tell the truth usually elicits the comment "you lying get!"

I remember Steve Coogan's first forays.
He is incredible. He went from the faux drunk student hater to really quite sophisticated humour in a step, the Paul Calf Video Diaries are truly incredible. Definitely inspired reciting amongst my crowd.
Ben Elton was rat ta tat blistering pace funny, but his material never lent to recital as a result.
Harry Enfield really crystallized the catch phrase slogan style of comedy with Stavros.
When it comes to music and comedy, the UK is your one stop shop for world class offerings for sure!

That is why I started the other thread. We have so much great comedy. I prefer Rob's solo work though!
