Vic And Bob: 12 Genius Sketches That Made Us Cry With Laughter

Few comedy couplets in the world can contend with the genius nonsense that has splurged from the brains of these two over the past few decades. They taught us that a Bounty bar is the exact size and weight as a human thumb; Bill Cosby was not, in fact, the worlds first black man (weve been lied to our whole lives), and to never, EVER eat muesli on a mountain.
Now its tricky to encapsulate the entirety of Reeve's and Mortimer's greatest work in one article: not because the Internet wont give us room, its very generous where space is concerned but because there is just so much brilliant Vic and Bob content out there. From the humble beginnings of Vic Reeves Big Night Out to the newest sitcom House Of Fools (which has, thankfully, been commissioned by the BBC for a second series), the epic tomfoolery of these two Northern boys is pretty tricky to list in just a few points.

So without further ado, heres 12 of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimers most stomach-crippling, trouser-trickling moments. Well warm you up with a little explosion
