I love the way John Oliver tells stories.
ReplyHow do Steve and CH4 make Britain’s got talentby our boy Johnny meaty hot pockets doesn’t
ReplyI swear as John was telling the story of Mr. Methane I thought “That guy should tour with Stevie Starr.” If it makes you feel better John in 1996 I went to a trade show where colleges book live entertainment repping a band I was friends with and I was in the booth directly across from Stevie and got to witness his act over and over and over again for an entire 3 day weekend. He’s a super nice guy, and for anyone wondering it’s not magic he really actually does that stuff.
ReplyI saw Mr Regurgitator at the University of East Anglia. He was genuinely impressive. I must have missed John and Mr Methane.
ReplySoooo goood to have you guys back!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
ReplyThat goldfish be like “I have seen things man…”
ReplyOmg, Mr Methane! 😂 I saw him.
ReplyI knew a guy who farted the Star Spangled Banner, also burned a hole in his pants when he lit his farts on fire. He had surgery
ReplyColbert remaining enstoned for “…he farted on the blue Danube.’? Iconic.
ReplyHilarious..
ReplyGoldfish can’t emote? Not what they say at Yale.
ReplyOf course I did. Mr. Methane changed his name to Monsieur Méthane and was on France’s « You’ve got talent ». It went exactly like you would think it did. 😂
Reply5:05 a.m. – I have a hot coffee and THREE (count ‘em…3 !!) segments of LSSC with Stephen and John. My heart is full. LOVE John’s wife’s response…time to go back to the studio, honey. We’ve all been there, Mrs. O.
ReplyHearing about this, “Mr. Methane,” sounds both impressive and oppressive at the same time.
ReplyTwo of the Classiest Gentlemen Late Night TV has to offer.
ReplyTo build on Mr. Methane, look up and then listen to the YouTube video of “The Great Crepitation Contest of 1946.” It is hilarious! 😂
“The Battle at Thunderblow: The Great Crepitation Contest of 1946” is a comedy record of mysterious origins that gives a play-by-play account of an international farting contest between Lord Windesmear and challenger Paul Boomer. The exact source of the record is unknown, but according to a post on Rand’s Esoteric OTR it was created by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sports announcer Sydney S. Brown and producer Jules Lipton some time in the 1940s.
Although it appears to have been only produced as an internal joke and not commercially distributed, it managed to survive as a benchmark of high-end fart comedy for more than half a century.
ReplyI remember both Mr. Methane and Stevie Starr from their TV appearances Down Under in the early 90’s.
ReplyYesterday you got my hope up that you would finally start uploading these multi-part interviews in order. It was actually uploaded 1, 2, 3. But then you did this: 2, 3, 1.
