Bob Mortimer’s hilarious magic act left his Last One Laughing co-stars understandably struggling to keep their composure
If you haven’t seen Prime Video’s new comedy series Last One Laughing, we respectfully suggest you get right on it – even if it means going round to that irritating mate’s house where you’ll have to pay by listening to his Fantasy Football regrets and triumphs.
Hosted by Jimmy Carr – we know …shocker – it sees ten successful comedians try to make each other laugh, while maintainng a stony deadpan themselves. The cast includes Daisy May Cooper, Richard Ayoade, Sara Pascoe, Joe Lycett, and the always brilliant Bob Mortimer.
One of Bob’s predictably surreal challenges was a flashback to the Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, and it’s guaranteed to become a much-rewatched clip. See for yourselves why that is.
Those faces!
TikTok users loved it.
Best thing I’ve watched in ages Ayoade, Wilkinson and Mortimer all brilliant …. Sean Locke Would have been superb on this.

Putting Bob Mortimer in there isn’t fair on all the others.
Mr Reynholm
The FEAR he put into Richard Ayoade was palpable.

Me and my child tried to play along and not laugh, ended up with us both crying with laughter and having to pause it.
Lisa Wright
I honestly wouldn’t last 5 seconds with Bob Mortimer.

Bob shared the clip on Twitter, with some extra descriptive magic thrown in for good measure.

When I say I laughed; I cried – Daisy May Cooper’s cross little face when trying not to laugh throughout is a gift; best UK comedy show since Taskmaster https://t.co/tYrj46rgd7

Because it would be rude not to, we thought we’d remind you of the Smell of Reeves and Mortimer version.
You’re welcome.
