I wasn't a fan. I could have watched Cleo Rocos all day though.

Re: The Kenny Everett Television Show

thing is with kennys comedy a lot of it would be classed as offensive today and would not be allowed.
to me kenny was a one off a true genius.
when i listen to him i cant stop laughing.

to me he was never trying to be offensive.

Can you stick to discusssing Kenny Everett please? If not off topic posts will be removed, thanks.

Oh I agree - its just that when someone whose only made 3 posts ever in total decides to make out I'm making fun of someones mental disabilities I decide to make it pretty clear I wasn't...

Re: The Kenny Everett Television Show

The great thing about the kenny everett shows for me,was that children in my secondary school had great fun doing the impressions from the show for a few days after.I remember a few children made it their school profession,and would acquire small time local school kid fame for being able to do a character very well.
I can still remember a loner called Barry, who was always sulking because everyone ignored and bullied him.One day,after some local children had finished doing their kenny everett show character impressions,Barry ( who had been pushed away and told to leave the fun company of friends... for the umpteenth time ),piped up:
"Taumata*whakatangihanga*koauau*o*tamatea*pokai*wh enua*ki*tana*tahu" ,and then proceeded,after realizing everybody was surrounding him asking him to do it again,to take it upon himself to do Jim Davidson Chalky White impressions.Barry became relentless with his * specific * impressions,to the point where he became derogatory and blatantly nasty and racist.Of course,this triggered anti racist violence towards Barry,who was absolutely jaw droppingly bemused by peoples reactions.Barry gave up the impressions after a month or two,but still,totally bemused by peoples reactions at the time on the subject matter,continued to moan about his once found glory,fun and fame being suppressed and destroyed by nasty bullies who wouldn't let him have any fun.Eventually,people got fed up with his moaning aswell,so beat him up until he shut up,and reverted back to being a loner,sulking and griping about his lot.
