Ooh...You Are Awful...
 
We all know Dick Emery was a comedy genius, as well as being a national treasure. But which of his ground-breaking comedy characterisations did you find the most hilarious?

Vote now.

certainly his turd (if it was one) doesn't smell half as bad as yours... :rolleyes:

he wasn't trying to antagonize anybody, you know?

I've never heard of this man either, and apparently I should have, what with him being a 'national treasure'.

Toilet & Bowels 05.19.2007 01:41 PM

a bit before my time, but from what i've seen of dick emery it's a bit of a stretch to call him a national treasure.

MellySingsDoom 05.19.2007 02:52 PM

Dick Emery was never that good in my opnion. When it comes to comedians who like to dress up a bit, I genefluct every time to the Daddy of the genre, Ronnie Barker (RIP). The only thing I remember about Emery was one of his conquests telling all to the News Of The World that he was a flop in bed (gasp!) - this was the early 1980's mind, where celebrity sleaze was still pretty thin on the ground in the UK...

I'm down with the kids saying he's shit. We're all on myspace watching other people draw out their sentences these days, haven't you heard? It's... like... totally... a... bit... like... y'know... whatever... and stuff.
