Me too
I wrote him off as a knob based on his wacky outfits many years ago - how utterly wrong I was.

One of his standups was used as part of a night of surrealist TV once, alongside heavyweight art programmes etc. Proper surrealism, not merely trotting out shitty non sequiturs like serial anuses Ross Nurble and The Mighty Boosh.

A highly intelligent, witty man with a unique slant on the world.

I realised HH was something special
when during one of the later series of his shows where it was evident they kept on using the same format for the jokes/the show etc. Burt Kwouk came on stage to the line, "Hey Harry! This show doesn't get any funnier, does it?"

I always loved Harry
I've seen him go up and down in people's estimation but I don't care.
I loved him ever since he said "Just my step-ladder. Not my real ladder. I never got on with my real ladder."

I remember seeing on his show years ago
a bit where he was rhyming chocolate snacks with celebrities every now and then

Curly Wurly? Elizabeth Hurley

Advice to mothers
Don't put your baby in bed with you. In the night you might roll onto the baby and put your back out.

Now I can't do my sild joke.
Well it's not a joke as such.
I didn't even know what sild was until I was about 11.

Me and my nana only know because of this woman called Maureen
We were helping her do a buffet and she said "Ooh get the sild out! You have to have sild at a buffet, for the men. The men love the sild."
So every now and again I like to ask a man if he loves sild.

I suspect that most would answer with a resounding no

Don't keep me guessing
Do the men love the sild.

Most men dunno what 'the sild' is!

I just googled...
...and found it was a herring or a Sexually Induced Lucid Dream. Jackpot either way.

the second sounds better
you can buy tins of sild, which are young herring, in tomato sauce

A few months back
when he went on one about the film 'Gummo' after one of the X Factor guys sang a song from it, or something, can't remember exactly why. He went on a rant about it because it was so obscure and no one has really ever seen it. It was weird to hear him say Gummo, about a hundred times.

It's a great film incidentally, i had seen it years back, but had downloaded and watched it just a few days before harry Hill was laughing about it, so it was even weirder.

I haven't seen that film all the way through
but it was pretty damn creepy. Cool, but creepy.
