It's a shaggy dog story. The humour is linked into the length of the joke! It's supposed to receive a groan at the end!

Well told, by then way. Well done!

What's not to understand about any of those?
Hardly the most cerebral of comedies, especially Peter Kay.

Perhaps you are missing the subtle intelligent undertones of Kay. 😛

Unfortunately I can't say why people don't get it, the explanation is beyond my comprehension, maybe it's for them to say, it's a mystery to me as is why some people think benny hill is still funny. If you are saying the 3 comedies I mentioned aren't funny or lacking wit then I am afraid you are clearly in the minority (as far as british humour goes that is)

I liked it! In fact I can picture Bowmann in the role rather easily...

But surely he would have retorted that way initially?
Edit: of course how stupid of me you meant as the put down clown?

Not at all, I think they're hilarious but I wouldn't have thought many people would have trouble understanding them.
Maybe I'm wrong.
