What a Performance! - Spike Milligan

Hello again as we continue this celebration of the best of our offbeat comics,

what

a

performance

, that was a catchphrase coined by the great comedian Syd Field and it's an expression I've used often after experiencing Spike Milligan. Spike has always been the most intimidating of guests because you can never be sure

what

he would do, he often made for exciting television, especially if you're the type of person who watches Formula One to see the accidents, but if you were the host of the show, Spike's wildest antics could get you into serious laundry trouble. I first saw Spike over 50 years ago.

I saw it from the wings of the golden screen. The Hippodrome was a peak. The audience warmed up before a very famous radio show of the day called Variety Bandbox and, frankly, it wasn't that much? a warm-up like a cremation and next to me the producer was muttering that he was killing the show and every joke happened in total silence and then, suddenly, Spike dropped his pants and the audience, how could he, laughed and shouted ah-ha, ha, so it's subtle awakening. and he also dropped his shorts with the bullies, of course he went on to give comedy a new dimension and his Q series for BBC Two really opened the door for the Pythons to strike.

You know you can only be 30 years old, but if your first joke doesn't make you laugh, you can be 80 quickly and if you are 80 and you laugh, inari, then you will become 30. Spike will always be 30. Oh, very well named owner of Hadi, no one who worked with him ever doubted that. he was a genius genius is not a word we should use it's just show Einstein Fossati Gnaeus that's cosmology this is just comedy being Irish I guess it makes a difference like I say the Irish think sideways I think best is the best word that describes the meaning The humor is anarchic, although he was still quite capable of thinking of old musical jokes and saw nothing wrong with doing so.

What attracted me to bully shows was that it was "you know" when you said you have something that says "money talks about editing." Does she know the shows and she did the gun show as a kind of relief actually and then the gunshot took over but it was slightly different from anything else we wrote about thermals about Milligan's imagination, that was you Antibes , maximum, well, did I show you? Break it first. I'll make a hole in it. Well, ridiculous, that's the word. Where did you get a name like that before the company was simple and not very fun actually when you thought about it, but you have to use your mind.

You are there, listen carefully. That beautiful melody that I recorded, my name is Fume, which is not shown in North Louisville and is called. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it about you. This fight we're trying to do is just putting names in the script. that the sensor, the aureus sense, wouldn't notice and the Milligan II magoons had an acrobatic act called Novak and well, and people complained about it, especially when they got a third member and were still known as Novak, he has a mind that no one else in The world Milligan is completely out of his depth and yes, yesterday was brilliant.

All my problems seemed so far away yesterday. Suddenly, suddenly, what I liked about Cheryl, why I like the image that she plays on the forum, you know, it's all unexpected. There's very little in that show that you can really predict. Chief Constable Sir Robert Road Safety's commercial once told us exactly what the police reaction is to this very serious allegation. They didn't understand the humor of his battle, but he was getting fan mail and that was captured even more or it was very brave of him, you know, I mean, a kind of peak was almost a kind of model in my mind and I assume that in the others for this this surreal leap of imagination, the peak could always encapsulate, you know, it's a leap. one idea to another that just radio, yeah, and in the wild and it stops playing, it's like, but the best thing about it is that that summer store is happening all the time, so he always has a time and it's already the owner, so oh no, another one. one, oh, you still mean it makes you think I should go down to the sea again, the lonely sea in the sky and all I asked for was a tall ship.

I think Spike didn't think jokes were terribly important basically because you could. I didn't think of any, so there were some waves. Excuse me, sir, yes, could he be a witness to this vile robbery? Yes, finished the sketch. It gives the viewer an incredible amount of license to understand what's going on. He doesn't need to do it. Wrap it all up in rows, we already had enough fun, so let's make this so it's not so much of a finishing foul, it makes a lot of sense, okay, we can keep walking, but you know, with these noses on and finish this in a little while. while he plays the trumpet or they can start playing the stage and also what are we going to do now and because it's television, we can move on to something else which of course is that reaction, hey, your family and then you laugh, then you laugh and then you laugh. because you laugh because you last for a long reason, but I like it, I like that idea of ​​that kind of premeditation, well, you know, Pollock doesn't, you know, go into the punchline, he's not afraid at all of stereotypes because you dares to say.

They're not funny, they are. I said I became stereotypes and a lot of stereotypes are very funny and he knows that in 1970 the iris tried to enter the moon race, anything to escape the iris race, while in 1972 Scotland launched its own program to put A man in space is not a PC man. I vaguely remember him being one in a queue, there was a ramp to play up to a Roomba and it always used to get really dark. I think again about a species in the context of the time, as I say. When you watch TV from the 70s, it's amazing how people were very happy to make racist jokes, the Asian characters and a lot of people today killed them, so they grew up in it and don't really feel the need to explain themselves. says I love India I grew up in India where I don't agree with your quantification of what the agents that is my experience and I defy you and deny you the right to doubt me, which is a lot of his Dalek humor which he wasn't okay, yes, yes, pure peak, absolutely.

I mean, i like him, but i said what i was thinking about asking mr. Banerjee, the only aspect of Spike that has become obsolete, was the only aspect that was never really fashionable and that was that he was largely not politically correct, he was not politically correct and he had opinions that were indistinguishable from racial prejudices and he had them. since the peak of the war was really shaken in North Africa, it's between the lines, it's in the lines of his books and he, without blushing, referred to the Arabs as woggs and so on, not that you can't do it now , yes you can.

I didn't do it so they didn't tell me what to do and the world was full of people telling people what to do. I think Spike hates authority in any form. You know, if you're going to be psychoanalytic about it, it would be the same thing. being children it would be like authority represents parental figures, an adult nurse, everything else, how you should behave and therefore the bigger the authority figure, Hitler or ever, the more responsible they will be, you know they should do so that they are seen. Stupid Hitler himself Spike considers him the funniest character of the 20th century, but since he would do it defiantly and in a quite true way and he feels that he earned the right to laugh at Adolf Hitler, he was a moron.

Twi T pronounced Spike never. He cared about going where no one else wanted to go and if he had told people he was going there they would have tried to stop him if they were TV controllers. In fact, a lot of that happened if he had told anyone. Look, I want to be Hitler singing. In George Formby's song, they probably would have tried to shut it down because he somehow went on air and did it. Ashley copied anyone, where I went was the way he didn't. I don't think they really have to have that much polished presentation on television, I think it has to do with, you know, polish, that's unnecessary, the most important thing is his gag and the material really after being attacked by an anteater in London Zoo, today the keeper was secured by his doctors.

Don't worry because the aardvark never killed anyone. Reports are coming in about a horse in a tree. Well, that's all for tonight, except for another report about a horse in a tree. I don't know if they think I'm dead, but no one has put me in charge. I wrote for the last ten years. I think some of the people I read liked the flowers, the grave and the mistaken identity in a Highgate cemetery, thinking it was me, maybe to thank someone because I did it all personally or my fortune.
