John
This is great, who won? This one should have if it didn't.

Tony Clifton, Brooklyn
I do rate this. It was genuinely funny and well written. They are up there with 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000'.

Don Jackson
Keep up the good work!

Hambre, Norwich
After working with Jon, and witnessing the amusement value of rubber gloves tied to cardboard boxes, I truly believe that this is the direction comedy should head in. Either that or I'm going to stop watching TV altogether.

Roberto Basiny Italy
This is how you english called very good!!!!i like it lot!!!Give as more no??

Nikki Chapman
Great stuff!

Gerry Groves
They are doing a great job.

Andy Shipton, Taunton
Keep it coming!

Roger, Shirley - Southampton
To be honest this is the only entry I fancied voting for anyway. I see them on STV quite often and they're a damn site better than some of the other rubbish on TV.

June, Eastleigh
The only thing that didn't seem to be on here was a sausage machine churning out worms.

Elle Fareham
Great, keep it coming!

Micky Pearce, Bracknell
Lads, all you are, is a bunch of hellraisers! I'd love to see to see more of you work some day!

Joan Spencer, Hordle
I like the clip, I think the criticism is unwarranted, it's nore like 4/5 for me!

Martin Jones, Tiptoe,
Hey, disreguard what Mart says, I know for fact his is friends with one of the other competitors, so he is biast.

Irfan, uk
Mart is right. He told me about this and what he's written would seem pretty obvious. I am probably the second person to watch this. However, I'd give it a three rather than a one considering the type of show it is. I will say, if nothing else theres certainly the drive and will to succeed which shines through, surpassing the other entrants by miles. Best of luck to them.

mart, uk
i love the fact that the guys must have written all these messages themselves. they get more and more extreme as they go on. i can just imagine the fun they had inventing marjorie from sydney or the practically illiterate Ben from the 'uSA' or Hawkins from Hampshire (as if these people would watch and comment on thie website!) 5/5 for ingenuity, lads, but the film only gets 1/5 from me. and i am genuinely a real person who watched it.

Sam Brown, Wimbledon
Far to crazy for my liking.

Hamish, Ipswich
Very refreshing. Lots of energy. Lots of fun. Would like to see some more.

William Gilpin, Lymington
Cheeky monkeys!

Andrew, Winchester
This is a load of downright bloody rubbish!!!

Sunny Manners
Watching your comedy performances (Ben & Jon) is like looking through rose tinted glasses at comedy gone by.

adam hell, liverpool
the bit where they bang their heads on the doors is the funniest thing i've seen in about 4 years. this stuff is jam hot, like a pound of pork aflame. should be on tv.

Julie Choi, Seoul
I am a Korean teaching English in Seoul. A colleague of mine pointed out the genius of Ben and Jon. I love Englishmen

Anna Smith,Bournemouth
After the hard work of ballet class, your short film was just the ticket, comic and new!

Gerry Lewisham, Surrey
It seems to me that you fella will have the women in stitches with you antics. I wish I could do that.

Helen Pick
The clip made me almost laugh inside out.

Peter Parker, New York City
Hey, I'd like to hang around with these guys, they're fun, had me completely wrapped up in it. FANtastic.

Josef, Hove
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Right, I've watched all three entrants and this is the best one there.

Sophie Ventor, Newport
UTF is better than a England shoot-out. You can't predict UTF, but you predict the shoot-outs, like F1!

Monica, Southampton
Ben & Jon are the perfect double act. These guys are the best thing since sliced bread. Watch out.. they may take over the world! SIGN THEM UP... we want them on NATIONAL TV.

Michael Knight, California
Jed Cool is cool to play in my car driving around town. It is the same guy isn't it? Cool!

Erich Weiss, Southsea
I saw a premier of some of these guys stuff recently. Its marvellous and far superior on tape than on my dial up internet connection. N****s love tostitos guys!!! xxx Erich

Jason Bowles, Striden, Wales
The show gives me an extra step on the way, to becoming more comfortable about doing something similar. You are an inspiration.

Danny Clover, Chichester
I like it! It's like a cross between a blue estate vehicle and Benny Hill! Keep on truckin' boys!

Ernie B. Rhine, Austria.
I like flying in for what's new in England. These men are like a breath of fresh air. They are like hawks with control consoles!

C. Dan Armitage, Lancaster
This comedy gives me relief from my gammy leg. You guys are a wonderful distraction!

Julie Winters, Pilley.
I used to sit in Buses Jon got on. I love him and his work. Long may you give me reason to admire you!

Dr Magnus Lazarus Butcher, Surrey
My clients recommended this to me, no wonder my clinic is full of crazy people. Maybe I should recommend this to my friends when business gets a bit slow!!

Annie Hillcroft. At a Lymington OAP home.
I love the way the fresh air of wind blows of newness and jollity through the set of UTF. I wish all acts did their own thing, instead of sticking to the tired tried and tested. Simply Marvellous!

Stephen Hawker, Bransgore
As I stay in looking after the kids most nights in a quiet part of the country like this I enjoy a laugh, and how the UTF boys make me laugh. Keep it up!

Vincent Kohler, Deutschland
Hallo I have jon known and ben a little for a time through international show business. I think this is not their best work but is still original. As you say in england, Good evening. Vince.

Dick Smith, Brighton
I like what these guys are up to. It's fresh and Jazzy. Keep up the horsing around!

Nicola Travis, Crawley
The sketch online is funny, zany and full of sauce. These fellas are the best. Give them a the recognition they deserve!

Otto, Hanover
Ben is sex appeel. I hope to think that Ben will meet me soon. i have photos of Ben in Sothampton and shopping and dress his home.

Tina, Aldershot
Crazy, very good, like it.

Nick Rogers, At Work
It made me laugh so much, I now cannot concentrate on my work! Good on yous!

snoops, USA
This is a great instructional video in how to make pure, undiluted, badass comedy.

N. Eve. Potter
It makes good comedy on TV look good in a rubbish bin! Keep it sorted!

Tommy Oh, Korea
I am learning English in Korea with enthusiasm now as their actions are funny. I want them to suceed. Who knows, I might be more understanding of their language soon! I want their success.

Angelina Rodriquez, Chester.
My only criticism is that there were no broads in it. As it stands the show deserves top, less a few points

Simeone
Amusing, very scary too! I'll never watch home and away in the same way again.

Mr T-s, Frans
I've known Ben and Jon for a while, I've always thought their material was good, and they've done very very well so far. Long may it continue. I'd applaud them if I could but my hands are tied - as it were.

Jo, Germany
What a great piece of comedy! Really unique and clever - much better than some of the stuff we see! Hope their big break comes soon! x

Jan, Hampshire
I've been following Jon's antiks for some time. The boys are better than brilliant. Sign 'em up!!

Percy Cranborne, 89
I think lads today have just as much going for them as they did in my day, especially this lot!You nippers are right.

Alan, Southampton
These guys are really great, please, please, please sign them up asap

Michelle Wells, Southampton
Fantastic! The funniest thing I have seen in ages!

Dan Chambers, Bath.
"Coming in from Bath" was the last Comedy sketch I saw the boys do. This is much bigger!

Matthew Gunn, London
Two guys, one word... GENIUS!

Joanne Manners
Hi Ben and jon, Thought this was fantastic! Hope you are well, keep up the good work, and good luck! Jo x

Martin, Christchurch
I seen these guys close up, and i have to say I found them incredibly funny! 7 out of 5! We need them to protect us from the crab faced wolf monster of the bbc's comedy drivvil

Charlie Hungerford, Jersey
There's nothing better than a smooth cigar, fine whiskey and an episode of UTF to round of a bloody good week. Marvelous.

wife of Hawkins
amusing, bracing, canny,down to earth fun. Looking forward to watching where people go. Hawkins Hampshire

Nichole, Boston,MA
fresh, funny, and full of pep... sign 'em up while you have the chance

Nuala, Ireland
Fantastic.

Donald King, Japan
As an expat in this land of plenty, I sometimes yearn for a taste of Britain, the lads seem to be on to a blinder. Get out of the suburbs and grab hold of the city centres.

Cyril, Paris
Ben is an really nice chap. I know BEN for his humour and his pertinence and relevance of ideas. I just wish hil all the best with Up the Fan !

James, Southampton
The one good thing Southampton TV shows...I've actually found myself staying in to watch it.

John, Eastleigh
Great Stuff, never seen then b4 until now and thought they were really funny. Friends have seen them on Southampton television and said that they were funny.

stewart, Southampton
I thought it was a breath of fresh air. A comedy which is fun to watch and appeals to all ages. Relies of pure script and visuals rather than cheaps shots and offensive comments or voyerism. They are the next Monty Python meets Vic and Bob!!! They could and should get a pilot on ITV or the 大象传媒 easily compared with whats on there at the moment!!!

Junior
Get these boys on national TV, on the red carpet and picking up big bafta's!

Marjorie, Sydney Oz
After a quick how's your father there's nothing better than getting you breath back while watching Up The Fan

Delbert Wilkins
absolute quality, never have i laughed so much since i witnessed Saints stuff Man Utd 6-3 at the Dell. C'mon peeps get these boys signed up for all the human race to see.

BEN....uSA....SORRY..,
WELL I wanted to rate the up the fan 6...better than best but couldn't find a way to do it....dumb amereicans!....tex mex for y'alllll...up the fan is the shi'....rock on.,...give it 6....

Allan, Bournemouth
My family and I never miss an episode of Up the Fan. There is something for everyone from my 4 year old son Leo, to granny who is 102 and bakes cakes. Give these men a job.

Adrian
The film was up to their normal standards, which is way above the standard of comedy programmes currently made and shown on the 大象传媒 and on ITV. Let's have some Up The Fan on normal TV, instead of on obscure channels.

Jon's boss(Quiffy) Lymington
I've had to put up with Jon's disruptive influence at work for 14 years.Whether hiding in cornflake boxes or leaving sketches of Bruce Forsyth in bizarre places,Jon has done it.These nutters deserve a chance,NOW.

Hawkins, Hampshire
I recently ate some quality smoked drei Knackers in Berlin. They were good, but nowhere near as good as this entertainment. Just watch where people go.

Richard Farrer, New Milton
These chaps are comic genuises. Get them signed up or somebody else will snap them up. My boys are good boys.............

Jason, Winchester
I've always watched upthefan when its been on TV. Good luck. You're better than alot of rubbish on there at the moment.

Josh, Salisbury
Slapstick!
