Liam Neeson: I've contracted AIDS... From an African prostitute... I'm riddled with it. (Life's Too Short skit)

[HStallion]

"Let's do some improvisational comedy now! "

"I don't take notes"

"Can we go again 'cos you ruined that."

Might be one of my favorite bits of black comedy ever. Everything is just so on point from the initial camera pan to Warwick Davis's stupefied reaction to Neeson's incredible deadpan dedication to talking about getting AIDS. I think my favorite part is how Neeson keeps getting pissed and demanding to know why Gervais can get away with saying fucked up shit and he can't only to be told,"We don't know why." Comedy perfection. On that note, you should all do yourselves a favor and check out Life's Too Short, it has a ton of these hilarious cameos and Warwick Davis is great throughout.

 

[WhySoDevious]

Dammit. Thought it was for real.

And I actually saw that episode.

 

[DrEvil]

Clickbait title for anyone who doesn't know where this is from

 

[Punchline]

oh. thought i was gonna jump into a very different thread

 

[Merrill]

You son of a bitch.

 

[Dio]

lol OP

 

[jdmc13]

The "I don't take notes" line read is still my favorite.

He should play Frank Drebin in a Naked Gun reboot.

 

[Axis]

That is such a click bait title, I came in here thinking the man actually got AIDS.

 

[thekonamicode]

I love his comedy.

 

[mrmickfran]

Lmaooo the thread title scared me for a second holy shit

 

[Deleted member 17990]

Nice clickbait title.

[LordRuyn]

Damn you OP! I even know this skit and I still fell for it.

 

[XenodudeX]

Yeah, I to find AIDS funny.

 

[Okabe]

God dammit OP

 

[Porco Rosso]

*Tring*

"We're Closed."

 

[HStallion]

Well I'll say I fucked up then, I figured the title was outrageous enough people wouldn't believe it to be a serious news story.

 

[Kinthey]

"I've got full blown aids"

The whole show was pretty good.

 

[Jakenbakin]

After the last statement from Neeson involving his relations with people of color I thought this thread was going to fucking go places.

Skit is actually funny, but damn did I expect something else.

 

[Darksol]

One of my favourite bits from that series.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

Gervais trashing Tim Burton while talking to Johnny Depp is the best part of that series.

 

[MisterHero]

lol he tried to bring the doctor back into it

 

[Muitnorts]

Life's too short was not great as a series but this is one of the good scenes.

 

[Deleted member 60582]

How in the hell did you know that I watched this scene again last night and was debating making a topic about it?

Legit hilarious, I was in tears. The outtakes are good too.

 

[pauljeremiah]

I always loved the scene when Warwick goes to Sting's charity dinner.

 

[NuncaBob]

Given what he later said about wanting to kill black people, this maybe doesn't work as well.

 

[Bundy]

Jesus..... the title man. Got concerned here for a minute.

 

[nekkid]

Your friendly reminder that Liam Neeson went out hunting for a black man to kill after a black man raped his friend.

 

[Deleted member 5359]

After learning that Liam Neeson regularly pisses his pants I'm willing to believe anything I hear about him.

Lmao same

 

[Imperial Bishop]

LMFAO

 

[BossAttack]

I've seen the skit plenty of times yet still did a double take. Great skit though.

 

[Sky Chief]

I remember when this first aired, it was the funniest shit I'd ever seen

 

[pechorin]

that title is crazy

 

[Josh5890]

Wow, just wow

 

[Rassilon]

 

[poptire]

We're closed

 

[Commedieu]

"we're closed..."

 

[Herne]

He's so completely deadpan throughout, it's great. This and Patrick Stewart's bit are my favourites.

 

[blame space]

i updated my "riddled with aids" spreadsheet and sent it to my boss. thanks op.

 

[Tricky Diver]

I think my favourite part is when he's entering the office, Warwick Davies says something to greet him and Liam Neeson just throws him a dirty, inconsequential look and mutters "okay" without even looking at him.

 

[Sheepinator]

The Extras show was great too. Also Gervais, with a cameo each week from someone famous. Many were absolutely hilarious, standouts being Patrick Stewart, Orlando Bloom, Clive Owen, David Bowie, Ben Stiller, Daniel Radcliffe.

This would be amazing.

 

[Maffis]

Is this show any good? Haven't heard of it before. I laughed at this skit but is the whole show like this or is this the best "joke"?

 

[Lionheart]

You sent me down a 2 hour YouTube marathon with coogan and brydon.
