Top ten Sean Lock gags

"I’d like to be more in tune with other people’s feelings… so I can pinpoint their weaknesses and go for them more effectively when I do.”

“I hear voices. But I ignore them and just carry on killing.”

“I’ll tell you one thing: I think Nasa killed Michael Jackson. He died the same week as the anniversary of the initial moon landing, of the first moonwalk. They resent the fact that any time anyone puts ‘moonwalk’ into Google or anything, it cones up with him sliding backwards with a hat on and not the billions they spent going up to do a moonwalk. They hated that, and they killed him.”

“I’m not sure what my biggest fear is. It’s either me saying yes to Strictly… or them saying no.”

Jimmy Carr: “Do you think British people judge others on their accent?” Sean Lock: “I judge people long before they’ve opened their mouths.”
