That sheep is befuddled. Totally different to bemused.
May I ask how we have gone from Ross's pay to how a sheep looks when bemused..or infact befuddled if at all, but in less than 5 posts?!
Its Clunk, he is partial to a bit of monkey picture posting.
Just don't look him directly in the eyes or get him wet after midnight and he's harmless though.
yeah, but it's got a confident forehead, so it's borderline bemused.

NEVER back away slowly, it enrages him. Always back away quickly, and sideways.
*see's stuarts advice, turns and sprints away, bewildered by how to run away sideways as sideways is relative to what you are running away from and where they are looking*
In response, I did think about my post. Of course if the humour of x years ago, you don't get or find funny, maybe its because its too sophisticated for you.
Its not to say I don't find modern comedians funny, I just prefer it without all the swearing and trashy talk. When Ross isn't using sleeze to be funny, he can be funny. I first saw Lee Evens on the Des O'Connor show, I was in stitches. Now he introduced a lot of innuendo and swearing into his routines, I don't find it funny. Its not needed. Sleeze isn't needed. Which is why I referred to the comedy greats. They managed it without all the sleeze, so why should we lower it?
Anyway, Clunk, thanks for the light relief.
No offence mate, but man you sound old. Like someone's grandad complaining about bad language.
Seriously.
I find a comic funny or not based on the material... noone these days is going to be put off by innuendo.
Comedians should always push the boundries, it can be very funny when the audience gasps and laughs knowing thier laughing at somthing they probobly shouldn't.
There is a difference though between a stand up comic ripping out of someone on stage and a comedian phoning someone up to leave such messages.
It's the difference between material and personal insult.
Although I don't think Ross should be sacked, the punishment of 3 months without pay is (i think) justified.
Exactly. We can't pretend its the 1950s.
Well said.
Agreed. But is there a line which should not be crossed in humour? I mentioned earlier Patrick Kielty who made a 'joke' about Madeleine McCann; is that funny or are there some things that should be left alone? Noone wants sterile humour but, for me, that isn't funny whichever way it is expressed.
It takes a lot to shock me, but yes, there is a 'too far'. A joke about a murdered child just isn't going to be funny, is it?
Who laughs at that?
Noone, and that's the premise applied in the Ross/Brand situation - be funny but don't intrude into the private lives of those who will suffer distress from loose talk.
Swearing, in the right context, does not bother me but personal stuff needs to be carefully handled. I'd say Ross and Brand got carried away in the moment and hopefully they regret the way the show went.
We all make mistakes.
