The Chuckle Brothers.
Created | Updated Feb 10, 2002
The Chuckle Brothers are probably the finest pair of comedians alive today, nay ever.
Destined for greatness as comedians (imagine if they had become funeral directors), Paul and Barry have spent a long and fruitfull career on the childrens television program "Chuckle Vision". Playgrounds ring with the sound of teir catchphrase "to me". This is quickly followed by the witty retort "to you". Genius.
As with all the great double acts, Starsky and Hutch, Timmy Mallet and a Mallet, Gordan the Gopher and Phillip Schofield and (of course) Edd the Duck and Andy Peters, there was more than just a freindship that survived through many hilarious escapades. Oh yes, ther is a true message behind the Chuckles work. Every week they have a new job which they then mess up with gut busting consequences. The underlying message is very dark though. It is a detailed social comment complaining about the poor quality of education and support for the underqualified. They are working class boys from Yorkshire whos lack of education leaves them not knowing what job they are going to be ding next.
And all of this on childrens television. These men should be given a medal for their services to the nation.
