Jessico
the Dancing Outlaw and
Johnny Rubbish
Another
cracking episode that will make you wonder just how
the researchers dug up the featured clips. Bob talks
about his heroes- Lionel Blair, Wayne Sleep, and Jessico
White aka 'the Dancing Outlaw'. Jessico's mindset is
somewhere between the craziest man alive, a deluded
fool, and a psychopath. His love of dancing is balanced
against his tales of shooting hippies, and other traditional
redneck past times. Bob revels in some of Jessico's statements,
such as "My real name's Jessico, but I go by Jessie,
cos of my grandpaw who was Jessie Earl, and cos it's
easier to spell." Cue Bob- "You've got two
choices in life, learn to spell your name or change
it."
There's loads of Jessico info at http://www.roadogz.com/stories/jesco.htm
which interestingly notes that Jessico is a neighbour
of Hasil Adkins (see s4 ep22 below).
After
a great gag about Bob having a night out with Dale Winton
and Michael Barrymore, part two continues with a clip
of a great late 70s comedian who goes by the moniker
of 'Johnny Rubbish'. Unbelievably this bloke is introducing
the fantastic X Ray Spex on stage, and the fans are
less then impressed- he's gobbed on, held captive in
a metal box, and generally abused. Of course Bob decides
to heighten the gag by claiming that he was Johnny Rubbish,
and reminiscing on how comedy audiences as well as the
jokes have changed over the years. I can assure you
that Bob's stand up material is much better than the
gags that Johnny Rubbish offers!

"The
Poor Mans James Bond" and
More Chakra Healing
Bob
is knocking off lovely Aussie singer Natalie Embroidery
this week. So, on to "Kurt Saxon, the poor man's
James Bond!" As Bob says, Saxon does the things
Bond doesn't get time to in the films- like, er, make
pancakes. This dodgy US video must be a classic, as
Kurt, with a feather in his hat, then seems to move
on to bomb making. Quite where the James Bond link comes
in is never made clear, but this survivalist item (wiki
link) follows through on how to make bombs to kill
Russians. Part "How!", part "Brainiac",
this clip provides Bob with a lot of laughs.
Carrying
on with yet another Cops segment, and then a return
to the freaky chakra healer from s4 ep12 (above). Starting
with a review of his book by Karen and Thierry Bogilogilog,
who have grass on their roof, Bob moves us on to the
healer in action. His skills include- being able to
tell if someone is hot or cold by feeling their hand
and seeing if it's hot or cold, and clapping in front
of a woman's face repeatedly. Vaguely funny and stupid
at the same time, providing more easy gags for Millsy.

Chris Serle- Friday NOW! and
'Hasil Adkins-
Rockabilly Hero or Alcoholic Pest?'
"Friday- NOW!"
involved Chris Serle looking in to consumer problems,
such as passengers getting trapped by the automated
ticket barriers on the tube. As Bob points out, his
methods leave something to desire, as he seems to be
entirely bodging his 'experiment' to prove his point.
And not in a very conniving way. Bob absolutely revels
in his analysis of the lazy journalism seen here. After
laughing hard at Serle's ineptitude, let's move on to part two...
...which features proto-punk
legend Hasil Adkins, who admittedly, is pretty funny
to watch. Bob enjoys having a laugh at this bona fide
legend, and it works because he's still pretty unknown
in the UK. I recommend you look at this
wiki link for Hasil after watching the ep and learn
a bit more about him and his 9000 song catalogue. Hasil
is noted in the clip to be "A rockabilly hero,
or an alcoholic pest", and Bob shows a static clip
of some of his sheet music. Bob sings "I woke up
this morning..." noting it to be "a little
bit twee by todays standards" and then plays the
actual song. It's not quite what he remembered it to
be. Very funny stuff, and a great companion
episode to s4 ep3 "Jessico the Dancing Outlaw"
who happens to have been a neighbour of Hasil's. What
a great town that place must be!
