Never Mind the Buzzcocks Quotes

[About a Billy Idol video]
Bill: There's a fantastic shot of a toaster that seems, uh...it's actually, it's the very rare, the genie of the toaster. It's uh, rub it three times: "I am the genie of the toaster! You have three wishes...providing they are of a...toast...based...nature..."...

Bill: Can I just ask...They get a serious question about politics, we get "Who pissed themselves?". "Who wee'd?", "Who weed, Bill. You simpleton from the woods. With your simple friends that you collected in a glade out in the woods"...They get, "Oh, who lobbied the government blah blah", a serious question for the proper people who've done charity and are all proper, but the monkey boys over here get "Who weed!". You snotty nosed, public school boy...

Simon: Bob Geldof, I understand, has lobbied the government about nuclear waste, Midge.
Midge: Has he? Sir Bob Geldof?
Simon: Sir Bib Geldof, yes. What do you think we should do about the environment, Midge?
Midge: Give me a bloody knighthood and I'll tell you!

Midge: Oh, the record?
Simon: When was this?
Midge: I've got no idea!
Simon: You were there! Didn't you produce the song?
Midge: No I was the executive producer which meant that I let someone else do all the work and I took all the credit!
Simon: Didn't Bob take all the credit?
Midge: Bob is...Bob is like a death eater from Harry Potter. "It's mine!"

[About Bill and Romeo]
Russell: That was lovely. That was like two really jolly farmers singing at me ... Like you've just grown some excellent marrows and you're like, [He puts on a Cornish accent] "Let's turn up 'round Howard's house and sing him a little ditty...". [He pretends to open a door] You all right, lads?
Bill: Hello there!

Simon: How old are you, Nick?
Nick: Seventeen.
Simon: Seventeen, wow. You're really ruining my "I'm the young guy" thing here. Normally I get away with being the young person, being under thirty-five and able to name the Sugababes. Tonight I feel that Phill has seen what a real young person is and is going to stop loving me...I feel like Rudy from the Cosby show when she got old and grew a mustache.

Russell: Ha! Pasting them to your pen pal..."Dear, dear Gunther...I thought you'd enjoy these!"
Bill: "Ici, mon scabs!"
Russell: [Putting on a drawling accent] "Dear Bill, thank you for your scabs...next time a pube or two...Yours, Renoir...mmmmmmmmmmmm."
Bill: "Chèr Renoir, I am terminating this correspondence...it's gone a bit weird."
