Ross Noble: Difference between revisions

 

He doesn't do drugs. [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|Honestly.]] He doesn't even drink.

* [[All Germans Are Nazis]]: Subverted when he talks about [[The Pope|Pope Benedict]], '''ZE CARDINAL!! RATZINGER!!!'''

* [[Artifact of Death]]:

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: The cause of a lot of his tangents. Especially minor, odd things he notices the audience or even himself doing.

** One example is a five minute spot he had a Canadian comedy festival, he never actually got to any of his material he spent the whole time talking about the architecture of the stage.

** This even applies to his ''DVD commentaries'', the finest example of which has to be the ''Things'' show commentary. He spends at least fifteen minutes interrupting himself and going off on tangents, and, in fact, interrupts his ''tangents'' to go off on ''more'' tangents. As the man himself says,

* [[Berserk Button]]: Bono. F'ckin-[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AShF4FQgag#t=1m37s BONO!?]

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Tv-Kak3tt8&feature=related Religious folks, too, somewhat.]

** Ross also has no idea what the big orange thing/aka. the set of his Randomist tour. He thinks it looks like an Easyjet plane crash.

* [[Brick Joke]]: His ''Nonsensory Overload'' show had him reference his famous "meat-on-the-face" bit from Live at the Apollo from 2004. Said bit was in reference to [[Lady Gaga|Lady Gaga's]] 'meat dress' and was given with no explanation whatsoever, making it quite a non-sequitur for a few people. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] immediately afterwards.

* [[Broken Record]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnoc7A4FOeY Bummed in the Face]!" ''Bummed in the face?'' Bummed in the face!

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrrODnV_2a4 Moving and touching and touching and moving] and touching and moving and moving and touching [[Overly Long Gag|And touching and moving and moving and touching...]]

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: "My missus has to live with it ''all the time!''"

** "They're like babies, but better!"

* [[Everything's Better with Plushies]]: The shitty wolf toy someone brought along in his Fizzy Logic DVD. "He shall be named Randy-Pan."

* [[Expospeak Gag]]: "An Owl Neck Detection Device... which is really just a stick with a pointy bit on it"

* [[Fee Fi Faux Pas]]: A truly legendary example happened in Adelaide during the 2012 tour. During the interval, one of the items left on the stage was a piece of smiley fritz (a kind of ham made to look like a face that is exclusive to South Australia), and Ross decided that it was the most bogan thing he'd ever seen, immediately launching into making fun of it. He put his hands all over it then put it on his face, but it slid off too easily, so he borrowed the sunglasses of a woman in the front row to hold it on there. So he put the fritz on his face and then the glasses on top, making them all sticky. When done, he apologised, admitting sheepishly that he hoped the woman wasn't vegetarian. {{spoiler|She was Muslim.}} Ross ''very'' apologetically offered to buy her new glasses and give her free merchandise, admitting that he would be dining out on the story for a ''long'' time.

** 'Arse maneuvers' is suggested during ''Headspace Cowboy''.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: In ''Fizzy Logic'', Ross suggests that a big burly audience member named Peter can kill a wolf with his [[Gag Penis|big burly cock]].

* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]: ...at least it will if you don't drift off and lose track of what he's saying. Or turn up late.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: Using laser [[Eye Beams|eye-beams]] to heat soup.

** Or Hijacking whatever toys they happened to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6P0xlo8zzY give the person sitting next to him.] Granted, it was still stupid to give a big smokey hat to anyone remotely near Ross Noble.

*** This would apply to his live shows as well, except that assumes that they have rails to begin with.

* [[One of Us]]: There is evidence. Like the night vision goggles he bought off ebay. And the references to ''[[Ghost Rider]]'', which flies over many of the audience's heads:

** His [[Get This]] appearances make this straight up fact. His knowledge of [[Brit Coms]] is on the same level as Tony Martin.

* [[Out-Gambitted]]: By his wife (before they were married.)

'''Fran:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}-DfyQzEYoI8 No Ross, it's alright] {{spoiler|The doctor says you don't have to wear them any more.}} You bloody idiot! }}

* [[Overly Long Gag]]: "Quick! This child is being bummed in the face!" "What?" "Bummed in the face! Help, this child is being bummed in the face!" "I can't understand a word you're saying!" "Bummed in the face!" "Bummed in the face you say?" This went on for about ten minutes.

* [[Throw It In]]: Just about everything he does in his stand up routines.

* [[Urine Trouble]]: His shows go on for a while, so occasionally he'll refer to people desperately waiting for the interval so they can go to the toilet.
