Customer Reviews
One of the most durable and relistenable comedy albums of all time
Pete and Dud, sometime in the early seventies, mutated into Derek and Clive, a pair of Tory-voting, heavy-drinking, football-loving toilet attendants who have an opinion on everything, think the world's gone mad and are deeply embarrassed by women. For Derek and Clive, everything went downhill after the death of Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. And it's this peculiarly British mindset - a combination of drunken menace and a willingness to talk utter nonsense for several minutes at the drop of a hat - that the two erstwhile satirists tap into over the course of the three Derek and Clive albums. There are more 'real life' Dereks and Clives around than you might think. 'Come Again' is by far the most outrageous and offensive of the albums ('Ad Nauseum' tries hard, but feels disjointed and some of the ideas are non-starters) as the duo ruminate on cancer, masturbation, gay members of parliament, the genitalia of Hollywood stars, incest and the unfairness of the traffic laws. Although it's hard to choose, the most uproarious sketch is still 'My Mum Song' (a misleadingly twee title) in which Dudley Moore alternates between improvising an obscene ditty and collapsing into gibbering hysterics, and Peter Cook alternates between trying to restrain him and trying to make him laugh even harder (he succeeds). This was punk comedy a full five years before the Young Ones, and time has been kinder to it as well.
This is scathing wit at its best!!!
If you like your humour subtle and politically correct then this is certainly not for you. If you want to hear two late and great comedians swearing and shouting and generally being as offensive and outrageous as possible then this is for you. Peter Cook is at his surreal and sublime best here and Dudley Moore tries and fails to not laugh out loud, in fact that is the beauty of it. You find yourself rolling about as Dudley screams with laughter at what Peter has to say. I listen to a bit of this CD at least once a day and all the better I am for it. Anyone and everyone is the target of their acid wit and even the unshockable will find themselves wincing a good few times before the CD plays itself out. Great stuff!!!!!!
Sheer comical genius - we shall never see their like again..
Derek and Clive are the epitome of all that is right with British humour; forget Men Behaving Badly or Trigger Happy. Pete and Dud were simply the best comical produce our nation has ever witnessed; sure Monty Python broke some barriers, and Spike was amusing - but Pete and Dud went further than anyone at that time was prepared to go. Perhaps the funniest part of Pete and Dud's work is where Pete will ramble on straight-laced and Dud can be heard/seen trying not to laugh - a beauty to watch or to listen to.
