Devastating Put-DownsAmorous Badger says: I once saw a former manager of mine being asked to 'sit down and let your mouth have a chance to speak' by his senior. What's the best heckle/putdown/riposte you've ever seen? (Hint: Recycled 'Your mum' jokes does not make an answer)

The Crappest Double Act on The TellyA friend of mine went on holiday to Florida some years ago. He got into a lift in the hotel he was staying at and it stopped at one floor and two guys walked in. He said he looked at one of them and he thought "Hmmm, I think I know you from somewhere" ( You know the feeling )put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a packet of cigarettes and took one out. As he did so the guy he thought looked familiar said in a petulant voice "Ooh an ENGLISH cigarette, I have not had one of THOSE for ages, may I.... could I beg one?" As he passed the guy the packet for him to help himself, he said the penny dropped, it was Mike Winters, one half of the most pathetic comedy( I use the term 'comedy' loosely ) double acts our shores has ever produced. Mike and Bernie Winters. ( One old joke , Q.Can you name Britain's worst two Winters? A. Mike and Bernie! I remember Morecambe and Wise been interviewed on TV once and The interviewer; it could have been Michael Parkinson, asked them what they would be if they were not comedians and Eric Morecambe replied quick as a flash "Mike and Bernie Winters!" ) Anyway, back to the story. Winters asked my friend if he would like a couple of tickets for the show he was appearing in that night. My friend's reply?
"Oh, why? who the fucking hell are you?"

that sounds more like plain rudeness than a put-down(

Dear god, wasn't the high point of the surviving ones act the introduction of a huge dog with a kitsch name? It went down hill pretty sharpish after that point (underground).

Yeah A St. Bernard. Mike and Bernie Winters, the only comedy double act with two 'straight' men. I just read another slightly amusing story about Bernie, the one with the big dog. A guy met Bernie Winters and his dog, said "hello" to Bernie and then gave the dog a sausage. Bernie asked "Was that a pork sausage?" when he said "Actually yes, why?" then apparently Winters went 'ballistic', The Winters brothers were Jewish.
