Definitely an Ahh! moment.
Subtle as a brick but one of those comics that defied you not to laugh.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

It sure was the way he told them, and he knew how to tell em.

That generation of comics are slowly disappearing. I have such good memories of laughing at him when I was younger.
I wonder if anyone will miss Michael Mackintyre or David Mitchell etc in this way when they die at 85...

Frank. "My wife went into the buchers & asked him if that was a goats head in the window" "No" the butcher replied "It's a mirror".

I wouldn't miss Michael Macintyre if the floppy haired buffoon died today, never mind at 85.
Mitchell is a funny one to throw in the mix, as he's not a stand up comedian.
He's more of a comedy writer/commentator, perfectly possible he'll still be writing at 85.
I think there are stand-up comedians around today that have career longevity though.
Like Frank, their TV careers may die, but they'll still do the comedy circuit/after dinner market.

Bowf, I just picked them both randomly as I typed the comment. I don't think there is a single comedian or writer (if that's what you'd prefer to call Mitchell) of today's generation that will be remembered at that age.
Sorry if I picked the wrong type of person. I still stand by my point.

We'll have to wait and see.
But even the law of averages suggests you'll be wrong.
Seriously, not a single one who, when they die at 85, will have people remembering them fondly?
Come on...
