"Banzai" or "Alexei Sayle's Stuff", which would you rather watch?

The former is a new FOX shitcom. It's totally wacky and weird and pointless.

The latter is a cool British comedy from 1988. It's totally wacky and weird and makes political statements. As it's British, it's also well written and deserves to be released on video and/or DVD.

2. He said "nice day, innit?"

But it wasn't a nice day. It was a little cloudy so ...
I bit his head off!

I wasn't a big Young Ones fan, but if Alexei had a cameo, I'd sit down and watch that.

3. Alexei Sayle's Stuff

I loved Alexei Sayle in The Young Ones, especially his caricature of Mussolini.

"It's been a terrible blow to my life looking like Mussolini, you know. Especially when I was a kid, you know, I was about seven, right, and I was down the Youth Club, you know, dancing away, right, like in the 'sixties, doing the Twist,...you know. And, em, there was this girl, right, and she comes up to me, and she goes,"'Ere! Are you Mussolini?" I said, "Emmm...Yeah." She says, "I thought you was dead." I says, "No, it was just me day off, you know." So she pulled me over the dance floor and butted me in the face! I said, "What's that for?" She said, "That's for the invasion of Crete!"

4. Alexei Sayle was very funny, but Banzai is just fantastic....

It's so completely and utterly bonkers, I love it!

They manage to get celebrities to do some really weird stuff, and there is always something hilarious in each show, usually lots of great stuff.

BETTING ENDS!
