Re: RIP Barry Cryer
Sad news
I once had the pleasure to sit next to Barry at a golf club dinner and he was a really nice gentleman
Then he did his joke telling to the dinner attendees and we were crying with laughter

You've had your laugh now please explain to Clive and me why?
Re: RIP Barry Cryer
its a reference to Lord Beamish who always posted a photo of someone similar whenever someone famous dies. Its a little dark humour and not intended to cause offence and has been a tradition on the forum for years and years going back to the old platform too.

When Beamish did it they used to look a bit like the person who'd died though.

Re: RIP Barry Cryer
A mate has shared this Barry Cryer joke with me.
A man walks into a pub and the landlord's astonished. Half of the man's head is half of a huge orange.
'So sorry to be nosy,' the landlord says, 'but why is half of your head half of a huge orange?'
'Well, I was cleaning up the loft,' the man says. 'And I found an old lamp. I polished it up, and a genie came swooping out of it, saying, "May I grant you any three wishes, master?"'
'So I said, "I'd like to have a million pounds – and every time I take the million pounds out of my pocket, another million appears there."'
The genie said, 'Your wish is granted. And your second wish?'
The man says, 'I'd like a big house with 100 beautiful ladies in it.'
'Your wish is granted,' says the genie. 'And your third wish?'
'I'd like half my head to be half of a huge orange.'

A funny man in his own right but less known for writing for others. Sat in the chair on Jokers Wild after coming up with the idea with Michael McIntyre’s dad, Ray Cameron.

Re: RIP Barry Cryer
They replayed an interview with him on the radio today. His first broadcast sketch was for, I think, Dick Emery. A guy was sat in his house when the doorbell rang. His wife answered it and came back into the room saying “there’s a man here who says he fought with you in the war”. Show him in said the man … and in came Adolf Hitler
Re: RIP Barry Cryer
Met him in a pub in the West End London a few years ago. Just joined in when a few of us we were having a few beers and cracking some jokes. His jokes were much better than ours. Interesting and v likeable man. RIP Barry.

Radio 5 just played a clip , taken from I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue I think, of Barry Cryer singing the lyrics of Anarchy in the UK to the tune of Singing in the Rain...very funny. A great humourist and a sad loss. RIP.

It might be intended as a joke but that lookalike will be somebody’s uncle or son or grandad or whatever & if that lookalike did happen to unfortunately pass away as well you wouldn’t be very impressed you’d be extremely annoyed it would be viewed as tempting fate if that strange coincidence did take place.Zlatan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 12:56 pmits a reference to Lord Beamish who always posted a photo of someone similar whenever someone famous dies.

Re: RIP Barry Cryer
A woman walks past a petshop and sees a magnificent parrot in the window.
She rushes inside and says, 'How much for the parrot?'
'£5,' says the shopkeeper.
'Only £5? I've got to have it,' says the woman. 'Why's it so cheap?'
'Well, I must confess, it was brought up in a brothel,' said the shopkeeper. 'And, to put it politely, it has quite an extensive vocabulary.'
'Never mind,' says the woman. 'At that price, I'll take it.'
So she takes the parrot home, puts its cage in the living room and takes the cover off.
'New place - very nice,' says the parrot.
Then the woman's two daughters walk in.
'New place, new girls - very nice,' says the parrot.
Then the woman's husband walks in, and the parrot says, 'Oh hello, Keith!'

Re: RIP Barry Cryer
Likelihood of relatives seeing it is extremely low.
Doesn't affect it being in bad taste and, perhaps more pertinently, completely unfunny.

I respect living people as well as the dead & drawing similarities whilst some people are still alive just isn’t tasteful imo, doesn’t make me right or wrong, each to their own.

I saw Barry Cryer at Salisbury City Hall a few years ago, when two episodes of “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue “ were being recorded. The panel also included Tim Brooke-Taylor, another sad loss.
Barry was a very funny man RIP.

Just to clarify for all those in distress, Henry Kissinger is unfortunately still alive.
RIP Barry, a great comedian and I suppose now all that’s left of that great ISIHAC lineup is the brilliant Graeme Garden. A real shame.

It’s all about respect for me, people saying it’s unlikely, HK is 98 years old & probably not got long left based on that so it is more than possible he could go soon himself. please please I don’t wish to argue on this thread I’m not commenting again, thanks.
