Default Snake Stunt Condemnded

As no-one really said what happened with the snake on the Comedy Awards show I found this

The Sun Online - TV: Snake stunt condemned

Whoever thought that idea would work needs shooting

Thumbs up

Funniest bit of the show for me and if it had eaten, say, Graham Norton and that complete and unfunny **** Avid Merrion, then my night would have been complete

Agreed, DCI. Never ever understood what the attraction of Lenny Henry is/was - just goes to show how far you can build a career on opening your eyes wide and shouting a lot.

Yup another unfunny character. How about Matt whats his face from little britain. Sure he "looks" funny but I just dont think there is anything comical about him at all.

Edit - Matt Lucas

Think you're out on a limb there, lots of people think Matt Lucas is a talented guy. He used to be hilarious on Shooting Stars - a definite personality.

Yeah I know lots of people think hes great, hence the success of little britian (which I only find mildly amussing btw) Shooting Stars was good when he was in his baby grow but even then. Thats not comedy to me. Now Reeves and Mortimer were definately funny on that show. Made with some superb inuendos with Ulrikakakakakaka

Now there is a very funny Lenny Henry/Dawn F joke and I can't think what it is.

Have snakes got ears BTW?

All I see is a lot of chav scum Z listers being cruel and mistreating a snake.

Frankly I'm disgusted.

Have to say that it was an ill advised stunt but to be honest the Python didn't look all that bothered, I doubt that it was done any lasting damage or even hurt it, they are fairly robust creatures, anything that can squeeze the life out of stuff like a Python can cannot be that fragile, I am sure they get worse than a few pissed up tossers in the wild.

I do thing that whoever allowed that one needs to think longer about what they agree to.

If I were a snake and saw Ant and Dec, I would do the very same.

The firts time I ever saw Lenny Henry was in a sitcom called The Fosters. Started in 1976 I think. Even then I thought he was crap, yet he has managed to go further downhill.

There are a few comedians that I just don't understand why they have been or becoming popular.

Russell Brand
Tracy Ullman
Lenny Henry
Victoria Woods
French and Saunders (although Ab Fab and Vicar of Dibley are OK)
Graham Norton

Agree, I don't get Little Britain, Avid Merrion, or Russel Brand (to name a few). None of it has ever made me laugh.

It was a silly, ill advised stunt. But, take my word for it, if that python had been really pissed off it would have been quite capable of doing somethng about it.

They clearly had a very even tempered Reticulated Python there (they're usually the more aggressive of the BIG pythons). If it had got hold of someone, it would have been very nasty!

LOL there's a joke in there somewhere; can't quite put my finger on it!

I've had experience of snakes in the past, including a 20ft Burmese python and, believe me, you wouldn't have wanted to see it angry! If a python that size even just bit you, you'd get a horrid wound. If it coiled around you and started to constrict, you'd be in very serious trouble- a big constrictor can kill you much faster than even the most venomous snake in the world.

There I made it though the post without making any rude comments or innuendo!

PS. My own snake doesn't bite; it's a spitter!!

I'm more of a dog and cat sort of bloke myself. Don't suppose you could have a cat and a constrictor - The cat would think "What a nice warm place to lie", the snake would think "dinner is served !".
