Les Dawson Cuckoo Clock

 Furtwangen quirkiness

It's a cuckoo clock upon the wall, whereas upon the hour a mechanical Les Dawson figure complete with jaw over upper lip pops its head through the doors accompanied by a random audible deadpan joke or malapropism.

"I came from a very poor family - up until the age of fifteen I thought knives and forks were jewellery."

Et cetera .....

       At midday he comes out with a miniature piano and plays some Debussy, exquisitely dropping bum notes.

       If Les Dawson appeared out of any clock near me, I'd throw a brick at it. Not my style of comedy - give me Reeves and Mortimer, Mighty Boosh, Eddie Izzard, and for cartoons - the fabulous Family Guy. Acceptable figures for clock: Ricky Gervais or any of the characters from League of Gentlemen. Brick throwing material - (mostly from UK): Ken Dodds (think of a cadaver accidentally coming into contact with mains electricity), Bernard Manning (racist, sexist, vile crap, and now deceased), Peter Kay (makes my flesh crawl), Seinfeld (over- rated, predictable, weak, and obvious, though in contrast Larry David is a triumph)
Most perfect for any clock - any character from the near perfect Father Ted - esp Father Jack: "Drink, Feck, Arse, Girls" - you need to see it to be a fan.

       I don't know the commedien, but if I want deadpan, I'd go Steven Wright.

       Family Guy can go back and rot in whatever stenchhole it was bred from.

He's Krusty the Klown by comparison with the Divine Les.

       Try looking on boob tube or whatever that site's called, plenty of the man himself.
