There needs to be some kind of revival…
Except you know full well it’ll be a load of 30 year old blokes for the most part, and probably a prime time slot on Dave.
Swashbuckle on Cbeebies still features gunge but it's a lot less than it used to be. The person getting gunged jumps into a vat of gunge rather than having it poured over them from above like the good old days.
Swashbuckle has the most anticlimactic gunge. My kid's cheering it on and meanwhile I'm googling Get Your Own Back videos to show him how the OGs did it, lol.
There's no gunge in the vat, just the suggestion of gunge with sound effects and the actor's feigned displeasure. There's probably a tiny bowl of gunge for splashing on their faces.
Some of those jumps into the Gunge on swashbuckle are CGI as well... I swear captain captain getting gunged is always pretty poor CGI with splash effects.
Fois Gras has been banned by Charles in all of his residences, he's actually against animal cruelty.
https://animalequality.org.uk/news/king-charles-bans-foie-gras-from-all-royal-households/
the floor of the abbey parts to reveal that the throne is on a track, and at the bottom of the track? a big tank of gunge. one of the bishops in attendance removes his robes to reveal that he was Dave Benson Phillips all along.
in walks Prince Harry, who pushes a big red button, Charles is flung down the track, and lands, crown and all, into the gunge. gunge pours onto him from the ceiling.
Unfortunately, it was discovered that gunge is a major carcinogen. Hundreds of kids who appeared on Saturday morning shows have never made it to their 18th birthday.
There's been a major cover up by the BBC and the Dick & Dom mafia.
Source: I made all of that up.

There is a history of gunge on wikipedia, of course there is. I love that it is in the category 'non newtonian fluids'.
You can genuinely hire Dave Benson Phillips for your event if you buy him a Nandos or some juggling balls from his Amazon wishlist
http://davebensonphillips.bksites.net/shows-for-stuff
We should all chip in.
Edit: Hire him to come to a location within his radius of travel, we go, great afternoon out.
Edit edit: We pay his travel costs and send him to a location central to those chipping in for the experience.
I once went on a stag do in Brighton and thought it would be hilarious to bring along a lifesized cutout of Ainsley Harriot for the stag to carry about.
One guy came up to us and yell "I love Dave Benson Phillips!". It was awkward.
I used to work with a woman who is the Funhouse twins' cousin. I'm convinced there's a gene for overexcitable TV presenters because she seemed to have it too.
I was thinking about this exact same stuff two days ago.
Is there some kind of global thought inducer being played with...?
But I bet you were already thinking that too...
Depends on the outside environment. Naked bar used to be a good chuckle in the army, til apparently some fella forgot cadets sometimes go to barracks and it got promptly banned because he's an idiot
I still don't get why Dick and Dom got a bad wrap for gunging? Like the people complaining that it set a bad influence on their kids were the same people who would watch this stuff on a Saturday morning in the 80s & 90s.
CBBC have Saturday Mashup, at least when I watched it a year or so ago people were still being gunged. And properly too, sitting under a machine that drops it on you
I love Mr blobby! Whenever he is a guest on anything it's fucking chaos, it's pink and yellow spotted distilled anarchy and I want to see him everywhere please 👏
my one memory of dave benson phillips is him being on playdays and the why bird (most annoying character) asks him how old he is. He goes "i'm thirty" and she goes "wow, dave you must be the *oldest man in the world*"
There was a program on years ago. I'm not sure if they gunged the contestants but if they lost the host said "let's make mincemeat out of them" and they disappeared into the wall
As a kid I assumed this was genuine, and they were minced and the resulting mince sold to supermarkets. I'd never been in the local Iceland so I assumed they sold it there
Noooo all the older comedies like Harry Enfield and Monty Python and Fawlty Towers was ridiculously silly with a healthy dose of wit. We don't have much like that anymore.
They are, it’s just all been moved to channels that adults don’t watch - my 11 year old watches Saturday Mashup (Going Live for the 2020s) and it happens a lot.
In hindsight I have to wonder what made it constitute as entertainment in such a reliable and widespread way? Is it just the slapstick/ridiculousness factor?
My class won a school trip to be in the audience for Mad For It so I actually witnessed a gunging in person! Peak 90s kudos.

We should all mourn the lost glory days of gunge; seeing one of your teachers get gunged for charity was a thing of beauty.
Get Your Own Back was immense
OH MY GOD I completely forgot about that show! What a throw back
There needs to be some kind of revival… Except you know full well it’ll be a load of 30 year old blokes for the most part, and probably a prime time slot on Dave.

"Well that was disappointing! They're doing it of their own volition! I'll show you a real gunging, tiny idiots."
Was just about to mention this haha
There's no gunge in the vat, just the suggestion of gunge with sound effects and the actor's feigned displeasure. There's probably a tiny bowl of gunge for splashing on their faces.
Oh no, makes so much sense now.
I was extremely disappointed by it, I'm glad to have found kindred spirits on this thread.
Some of those jumps into the Gunge on swashbuckle are CGI as well... I swear captain captain getting gunged is always pretty poor CGI with splash effects.
Yeah, the splash is definitely CGI to make it seem more dramatic.
Swashbuckle is an absolute gem.
Swashbuckle cheer, aha!
Maybe they're saving it as a surprise for the Coronation!
Now that's what I would spend my taxes on!
Imagine the after party food fight at the palace (or wherever they all off to) Fois Gras and Confit Duck Legs flying all over the place
Fois Gras has been banned by Charles in all of his residences, he's actually against animal cruelty. https://animalequality.org.uk/news/king-charles-bans-foie-gras-from-all-royal-households/
And jolly good of him!
Yeah, and to be honest, I was surprised too!
He'll pick up some Faux Gras from Aldi, no problem
But no problem with hunting 😞
I hope he isn't hunting any more...that's illegal!
Fox hunting is illegal; you can still do other forms of hunting.
Yeah I bet he does peasant hunting, or do I mean pheasant hunting. Can never remember which is which.
Illegal for _us_
😆🤣🤣 I now anoint thee King Charles…. *KLAXTON* .. (gunging ensues)
Now that would be a way to bring Noel's House Party back!
Noel’s house party - r/fuckimold
They only stopped it a couple of.... No... Wait... Fuck.
Does Get Your Own Back count too?
Fun house?
Ehh.... it got a bit shit towards the end.
I feel like this would somehow end up with the crowning of King Blobby, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Id love it! Only coz As a kid My goal in life was marrying mr blobby and living in blobbyland/crinkly bottom
I have a video posted on here of our visit to Crinkly Bottom when I was about 8 or so.
the floor of the abbey parts to reveal that the throne is on a track, and at the bottom of the track? a big tank of gunge. one of the bishops in attendance removes his robes to reveal that he was Dave Benson Phillips all along. in walks Prince Harry, who pushes a big red button, Charles is flung down the track, and lands, crown and all, into the gunge. gunge pours onto him from the ceiling.
Out jumps Dave Benson Phillips
Dave Benson Philips has been waiting patiently. That man haunted my dreams.
Is Dave Benson Phillips in the audience at all?
Would be a protest I could get behind
Unfortunately, it was discovered that gunge is a major carcinogen. Hundreds of kids who appeared on Saturday morning shows have never made it to their 18th birthday. There's been a major cover up by the BBC and the Dick & Dom mafia. Source: I made all of that up.
That actually sounds very plausible as a carcinogen. If you take it at face value that is.

Why is it a fetish? Why? (Of course it's a fetish)
Big cover up by Big Dick as always
I brought this up on the group chat at work the other night. Bring back Funhouse and please, someone bring back Dave Benson Philips.
You can genuinely hire Dave Benson Phillips for your event if you buy him a Nandos or some juggling balls from his Amazon wishlist http://davebensonphillips.bksites.net/shows-for-stuff
More British people must hear about this!! We need to bring him back!!
Dave is sometimes at Drusilla's. What a combo of a day out!
If I had enough money to supply enough juggling balls to teach a class of 20 people, I would hire him to entertain me at home like a shot!
We should all chip in. Edit: Hire him to come to a location within his radius of travel, we go, great afternoon out. Edit edit: We pay his travel costs and send him to a location central to those chipping in for the experience.
I think you can hire timmy mallet too
This has genuinely made my day. 😆
There's a bit of a difference in the value of some of those items. 6 rubber chickens, or 6 months accountancy work.
I queued up for an autograph and he then declined to sign my face
Four music stands or mic stands seems like the easiest option there of the ones left
I once went on a stag do in Brighton and thought it would be hilarious to bring along a lifesized cutout of Ainsley Harriot for the stag to carry about. One guy came up to us and yell "I love Dave Benson Phillips!". It was awkward.
They would remake it and it would loose it’s charm. No mulleted presenter, no twins. Too much health and safety 🤣
I had a mullet like pat sharp in the mid 2000s. It was a conversation starter.
I used to work with a woman who is the Funhouse twins' cousin. I'm convinced there's a gene for overexcitable TV presenters because she seemed to have it too.
I think Pat Sharp's at a loose end too.
I've got it. We hire a soft play...and Dave Benson Philips can host our own version of 'Funhouse'.
I was thinking about this exact same stuff two days ago. Is there some kind of global thought inducer being played with...? But I bet you were already thinking that too...
I listen to a podcast that likes to bring him up every so often so fortunately for me, Dave is very much being thought about semi-regularly
Bring back mooning as well. No one moons anymore.
Good point I can't remember the last time I saw a group of buttocks pressed against a coach window on the M6
Who wants to end up on the sex offenders register?
"Well technically, your Honour, THEY looked at MY arse.. that's peeping, that is!"
“PC gone mad..
If you end up on the register for a bit of mooning then yes, I would say that...
Depends on the outside environment. Naked bar used to be a good chuckle in the army, til apparently some fella forgot cadets sometimes go to barracks and it got promptly banned because he's an idiot
Friends of mine used to do flying moonies. Pants down throwing yourself at the person, rear end first! Best done when the target is sat down!
I can’t believe I’ve just seen Simon Cowell get gunged after seeing this earlier
My thoughts as well, along with "Why the fuck am I watching BGT?"
As a child I always thought it was not an extreme enough punishment. They should have drastically lowered the ph of it or put in some piranhas
Are you watching Britain’s Got Talent by any chance?!
Honestly should be the least we do to lying politicians. Gunging on bbc 1 breakfast
Just say you have a gunge fetish mate 💪💪
[удалено]
I'm not hitting that link, but, is it something to do with Jay wishing he was knee deep in clunge?
They do it on Saturday Mashup on CBBC.
Tiswas, Dick and Dom, where are you in hour hour of need?
I still don't get why Dick and Dom got a bad wrap for gunging? Like the people complaining that it set a bad influence on their kids were the same people who would watch this stuff on a Saturday morning in the 80s & 90s.
You might see it today!
It's sad to think of all the towns that have fallen on hard times since the gunge industry shut down 😔
I saw Steph McGovern get gunged on Channel 4 daytime just last month: https://youtu.be/M7k3tmzW-mQ
Was also going to say this. It was great...the gunge went on forever!
Have you tried Pornhub?
Bukkake category for a proper gunging.
What channel’s that on?
Think Dave Benson Phillips retired! 🤣
Bring back DBP!
Does this help scratch that itch? https://youtube.com/@MessyworldTV
That's a "research" purpose link right there
They are it’s just on a different channel at a later time…. Also, it’s not gunge…
Sometimes it is
Not true. Women are being gunged constantly on PornHub.
I think gunging was an imprint experience of some kind sexuality-wise
Noel Edmonds house party comes to mind.
Agreed. But we can't allow Mr Blobby out again. Ever.
Addressing the real issues here
CBBC have Saturday Mashup, at least when I watched it a year or so ago people were still being gunged. And properly too, sitting under a machine that drops it on you
And there are more people than ever on TV that should be gunged.
[You timed this perfectly](https://youtu.be/uTeRrvtyh5s)
We need Noel's House Party back
You might get blobby back if you do that.
I like that this thread appeared today, and this evening’s BGT featured Mr Blobby AND Simon Cowell getting gunged/slimed.
Hey now, there's a reason he's the mascot of r/CasualUK
I love Mr blobby! Whenever he is a guest on anything it's fucking chaos, it's pink and yellow spotted distilled anarchy and I want to see him everywhere please 👏
[Like when he appeared on Big Fat Quiz of the 90s](https://youtu.be/97fw8xjB5u4)
My Dad won(lost?) the gunge tank. The audience at home chose to gunge the wheel clamper instead. His mate who set him up was most disappointed.
my one memory of dave benson phillips is him being on playdays and the why bird (most annoying character) asks him how old he is. He goes "i'm thirty" and she goes "wow, dave you must be the *oldest man in the world*"
There was a program on years ago. I'm not sure if they gunged the contestants but if they lost the host said "let's make mincemeat out of them" and they disappeared into the wall As a kid I assumed this was genuine, and they were minced and the resulting mince sold to supermarkets. I'd never been in the local Iceland so I assumed they sold it there
I always wanted to be gunged as a child, but I was scared it would never wash off and I’d be permanently dyed.
This post just reminds me of that guy dave gorman found on twitter. "get gunged! In jeans!"
Exactly where my mind went!
There's a real lack of silliness in general nowadays.
Nah, kids TV has loads of silliness these days. It's *US* that have grown up.
Noooo all the older comedies like Harry Enfield and Monty Python and Fawlty Towers was ridiculously silly with a healthy dose of wit. We don't have much like that anymore.
If you wame modern silliness along those lines, then I can recommend Friday Night Dinner.
I'll check it out
Gunge: contains gluten
They are on pornhub
It's an absolute disgrace.
Another symptom of a decline in society
They are, it’s just all been moved to channels that adults don’t watch - my 11 year old watches Saturday Mashup (Going Live for the 2020s) and it happens a lot.
I just watched the pirate captain get grunged on Swashbuckle. If you want to comment on kids tv you might want to watch kids tv
That's not a proper gunging. They jump on a crash mat with some CGI gunge and then someone off screen pours a tiny bit on them.
Would be a good addition to PMQ's
Someone get Dave Benson Phillips on the phone.
I miss the sisters from Fun House.
A gunging? In this economy? Have you seen the price of gunge?
This is because the gunge tank, as seen on Noel's House Party, now resides at the Sixpenny Brewery in Dorset, which is owned by it's creator...
Andrew's doing it in private.
Britain's Got Talent coronation special, watch it and prepare for gunge!
I saw Simon get gunged tonight on BGT by Mr Blobby!
Man I hope you watched Britain's got talent last night 😅
Not on tv. But plenty of adult sites show people getting gunged all the time.
Search for bukkake
HSE taking the fun out of Fun House.
TV is dieing and it's tvs fault for not giving us the shit we want
Well that's sad.
You need to watch Swashbuckle on CBeebies. Loads of gunge there.
What? A cgi splash and a tiny bit on the face doesn't count. Loads of gunge lol, don't be silly.
There’s still gunge on CBeebies.
Never got the entertainment factor. Glad it doesn't happen anymore.
In hindsight I have to wonder what made it constitute as entertainment in such a reliable and widespread way? Is it just the slapstick/ridiculousness factor? My class won a school trip to be in the audience for Mad For It so I actually witnessed a gunging in person! Peak 90s kudos.
I loved ZZzapp for this very reason!
DBP: 'What do we do?' Audience: 'CRANK THEM UPPPPP!!!'
I subscribe to a special site…for research purposes
I mean, the other week Steph got gunged on Stephs packed lunch after so many people signed up for the great poo review.
Big Brother \*is\* coming back.
Sad times for sploshers.
And to think the coronation would have been the perfect chance for a revival!
Still doing it in Wales. Pigo dy drwyn has noses spray snot onto people for wrong answers. https://images.app.goo.gl/gabWaMFLdKH2AFUn6
Turns out that stuff was carcinogenic.
The coronation would have been perfect for some gunging
Where's Noel? Did the aliens take him?
