Re: Favorite Running Jokes during a Show

Running gags, oh this is one of my favorite notions, the running gag.

one of my favorite running gags has to be I believe during an episode in 2005 or 2004, I know it was before Linda Smith passed away cuz it was an episode that she was on. It had to do with 'herbacious borders', during the subject of 'Green Fingers' and it was something that Clement said to the extent that his herbacious borders could 'outwit' people, and Paul challenged on that notion, and Nicholas left the subject with Clement, which created some incredible banter and numerous examples of how ridiculous the whole idea was, which includes an herbacious border buying a car without the owner's knowledge or having an herbacious border beat you at chess.

it was one of my favorite and prime examples of the running gag within the confines of JAM, and every time I think about it, it always makes me smile.

This idea rather popped up for me while listening to a show from 97(?)
with the late great Peter Jones-(I believe it was one of his last
appearances on JAM)
There was a ruuning joke throughout the show about a 'Red Hot Poker'
that got mentioned in one of the rounds. Peter just couldn't let it go
and it was very amusing ( to me at least)

So I thought I would bring this subject up- what are some of your
favorite Running Jokes?

I have to mention the one that really stands out for me and was in one
of my very favorite shows- Wendy Richard telling tony slattery ( would
like to hear him again on JAM) that she would "meet you in the carpark
after the show". At first it sounds like a 'threat' but then the gag
turns into an sexual inuendo. ( this is on the Canned Laughter single
cassette of JAM and includes paul merton/tony slattery/wendy
richard/clement freud)
