No focus groups, algorithms or AI gremlins were involved in the shaping of this list, just a large yet peculiar group of people with highly-attuned comedy radar - you lot!

With Chris Diamond and @donnarees.bsky.social
He's a five-year-old at someone else's birthday party screaming that everyone should be looking at HIM, spitting all over the birthday cake so nobody else can eat any and then leaving a turd in the bath because the birthday boy's mom asked him to stop pulling everyone's hair

Comedy scholars!

Can anyone help?

Sean Hughes had a routine (or maybe it was in an episode of Sean's Show) where a thug forces him to withdraw cash from an ATM... can anyone help identify where I can find this or did I imagine it?

50 years ago this week The Return Of The Pink Panther was number one at the UK box office. Some film about a shark was at number two.

Sad to hear about the death of John Virgo.

This is my favourite picture of him; his facial expression suggests a man whose wife has just informed him she is leaving him for Justin Timberlake.

Idea for a Netflix show:

DONALD WEARS YOUR TROUSERS

Each episode a member of the public swaps trousers with POTUS for the day. Will they be unlucky and catch him on one of his 'runny' days?

This guy used to freak me out as a kid.

I'd watch Sesame Street but run out of the room whenever he turned up. Usually you'd be given a bit of warning as it would begin with the exterior of his castle but occasionally he'd turn up unannounced, ragging Guy Smiley or whoever

People say the sixties ended at the Altamont festival in 1969 with its chaos, violence and death, but I would argue it was when The Flowerbuds played that gig in Farmer Giles' field

Just flipped open the Kenneth Williams Diaries. In April 1972 he went to see Dirty Harry at the cinema. I expected Ken to think it 'a disgrace', but no:

"It was v. good indeed... One man tries to do his job properly and, when he does it for the last time under Promethean provocation, he resigns..."

I think there should be a scene in the new Beatles films where Jimmy Nichol's mask is yanked off to reveal it was Pete Best all the time.

PAUL: Jinkies!
JOHN: Zoinks!
GEORGE: Jeepers!
PETE: Grr, I'd have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling moptops!"
