Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:Image1_bbaileyheadshot.jpg\|frame]] <s> Bill Bailey</s> <s> [[Angelina Jolie\|Angelina]] [[Top Gear\|Jolie]]</s> Bill Bailey is a popular British stand-up comedian and musician. He is known for his role on ''[[Black Books]]'' and appearances on ''[[QI]]'', ''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]'' (where he was a team captain for quite some time, replacing Sean Hughes), ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' and ''[[Spaced]]''. He has also had small parts in movies such as ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''; ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' movie adaptation (as a falling sperm whale); ''Run, Fat Boy, Run'', and a few others. He also can be seen appearing as a trick dog obsessed father in Series 2 of ''[[Skins]]''. Bailey is an incredibly talented musician, a very funny comedian [[Cloudcuckoolander\|who launches into non-sequiturs a lot]], and he resembles an overgrown, hairy Klingon troll. But is lovable nonetheless. Not to be confused with [[Cash Cab\|Ben Bailey]]. Or [[Guns N' Roses\|Axl Rose]] (who was called Bill Bailey in childhood). Or [[The Bob Newhart Show\|Bill]] [[I Dream of Jeannie\|Daily]]. ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~== Tropes associated with Bill Bailey: ==~~ * [[Alliterative Name]] * [[Arch Enemy]]: [[Chris De Burgh]]. Line 25 ⟶ 26: ** On one episode of ''[[QI]]'', the song was the noise his buzzer made when he pressed it. He began to get frustrated by it near the middle of the episode and started to push Alan Davies' button instead of his to ring in. * [[Blatant Lies]]: [[Lampshade Hanging\|Lampshaded]] when he discusses the composition methods of Dmitri Valenkov, who he describes as "largely fictitious". * [[Cargo Cult]]: The crowd at the Dublin O2 began ~~worshipping~~worshiping Bill's Oud. ''"Ooooooouuuuuuuuuuddd."'' ** In a BBC interview about the [[Doctor Who]] 2011 Christmas special, Bill mentions his Twitter followers' [[Wild Mass Guessing]] about what role he's going to play. Somebody guessed he'll be playing an Ood. * [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Line 40 ⟶ 41: * [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXmXguwkbzg Drum 'n' Bush] * [[Surreal Humor]]: very much the purveyor of surrealistic humor. A lot of his material wanders into [[Metaphorgotten]] territory, subsequently gets lost, and then decides to build a shack out of fern leaves in order to ponder the existential interpretation of the leprechaun. <div style="float:right; margin-left:5px; margin-bottom:3px; padding:0px; border:1px solid #ffffff; font-size:100%; line-height:120%; padding:0.4em; background-color:#eeeeee; border-bottom:1px solid #ffffff"><youtube width="480">68wJIQbCtlI</youtube></div> * [[Theme Tune]]: A lot of TV theme tunes are discussed and/or [[In the Style Of\|rendered in a different style]]. In addition to those mentioned elsewhere on the page, we have: ** ''[[Eastenders]]'', which he likens to "a wheelbarrow full of cold porridge being pushed up a plank and dumped into a skip" and gives the theme tune the lyrics "Everyone is going to die". Also played on sitar (well, on guitar with sitar-flavoured effects on the amp) in ''Part Troll''.
