He's a mong. A swear word is NOT a punchline.

Derek and Clive made 'swearing as comedy' their own, and only they can get away with it. "Angry Sweary Glaswegian" has been done before, with much more skill, wit and grace than this bovril.

He does swear too much, I agree
But he's a clever chap. Like a lot of comedians the quality varies.

The autobiography's a great read. The swearing is very much in context.

Although the first chapter, the "introduction", right..
..it's like a mini standup routine, and would have been laugh-out loud funny if I didn't think I'd seen most of the jokes on b3ta. There was some controversy with sickipedia claiming he'd nicked jokes a while back I think.
