Mock the Week Quote
Frankie Boyle: He's got a 4 per cent approval rating, Ming Campbell, which is nothing, right? So they could just have anybody lead them, it's not gonna make any difference, so I say - come on, let's get Lee from Blue. [Audience and panellists laugh and applaud] He's not gonna be any worse...
Dara O Briain: He's looking for a gig...
Frankie Boyle: Yeah, and also his policies aren't going to come into force so he can say whatever he wants! [Impersonating Lee Ryan]"Uh, I think that the homosexuals should declare war on the robots..." Doesn't matter, Lee from Blue, bit of a laugh!
Michael McIntyre: And also his name is very odd. His name is "Mingis"[correct pronunciation of "Menzies"], but it's pronounced - it's spelt "M-E-N-Z-I-E-S".
Dara O Briain: Yes...
Michael McIntyre: Well why are you looking at me like I'm insane? It's "Men-zeez"! Men-zeez! John Men-zeez! People don't go "Let's go to 'John Mingis'!" They don't do it! Martina Hingis! Martina Heng-giez! [To Dara O Briain] Why are you still looking at me like I'm not making sense! It's a "g", not a "z"[sic]! It's a "z", not a "g"!
Dara O Briain: Because I'm waiting for you to turn on me and mycrazy ethnic name!
Michael McIntyre: When they were bringing him up - it's Men-"z". It's not "g". When they were growing...there's something fundamentally wrong with this man - he can't speak, he doesn't understand his own name. When he was growing up, [speaks in a tone as if speaking to a child] "Hello Ming, shall we go to the goo and see the gebra? We catch Gulu Dawn and maybe get a "Ginger Burger"[Zinger burger]? It's a nonsense.
Andy Parsons: In fact, you should pronounce it "John Mingis"! Apparently it's to do with the defunct Scottish letter zog, eh! You couldn't make that sort of crap up, could you?
