His song about pork and tape worms 
Shocked to hear this news.
RIP

I spent all day yesterday watching clips of him on YouTube. Luckily we'll always have his work to cheer us up. A proper comedian.
He would've been amazing on that.
A real shame. He was an absolutely brilliant comedian.
Same. Awful news.
Is this just a skit or is he genuinely pissed off and genuinely threatening to chin them.
I know nothing about the other comedians but they seem shockingly shite and unfunny so I can believe it started off as a genuine attempt to film a show and he ended up getting fed up with them.
I was so gutted when I heard about this. Great comedian, RIPBreaking now, very sad and unexpected. I was not aware he had cancer.

I'm not sure although I agree with you. It seems to start off as a comedy bit but Sean gets annoyed at how loud and shit the others are and then it seems to turn into almost a fight.Is this just a skit or is he genuinely pissed off and genuinely threatening to chin them.

In somewhat similar (although less aggressive) fashion, he once made Rory McGrath look an arse on QI by not so subtly calling him a boring cnut. I think Sean just had very little patience for shite comedians, especially when they're appearing on comedy shows.
One of the funniest British comedians i've seen. Was the main reason i would watch cats does countdown.
RIP Sean, thanks for the laughs.

That was brutal and he was doing more than pointing out he was a boring cnut: he was exposing him as a pompous and superior windbag and McGrath was clearly properly deflated and upset.
As he should have been. Wouldn't have been surprised if that segment was cut from the show had Sean not exposed McGrath as he did.
Sad news. Only 58 as well. 
I always loved this
Plus this isn't bad either
Really sad he is gone

It was from something called 'Flipside'. The premise being that you'd have a host (in this episode Sean Lock) and three guests who would flip through channels and commentate on whatever came on. Think its fromthe late 90s/early 2000s. A quick google says it usually aired between midnight and 2am, so probably says alot.Is this just a skit or is he genuinely pissed off and genuinely threatening to chin them.

Imagine, this genuinely was just Sean getting pissed at them
So very sad. Think Channel 4 doing a special this Thursday night. Such a razor sharp dry wit the kind of comedy I embrace.
Rest in peace Sean.
Rest in peace Sean.
He was one of my favourite panel comedians along with Lee Mack. So very sad that he passed away.
Very sad and shocked to hear about the news. I had no idea he was seriously ill - although, as has been mentioned on here, his appearance and voice change was worrying a year or so ago.
I didn't see much of his stand up - there's only a few stand up comedians that I enjoy watching their whole shows - but I found him hilarious on many panel shows.

This is the best, I looked for it for ages. That part where he says it's a good job the joke went down well (after exposing his costume) pure genius
I saw that it has been confirmed as lung cancer. He was a life long smoker I think

Apparently the has agreed.
Like most I really liked Lock as he was relatable and didn't rely on gimmicks in his comedy. I read an article/eulogy on Lock by Harry Hill. Apparently Lock convinced Harry, who doesn't generally do panel shows, to go on one as it would be 'the easiest money you'll ever make'. It made me wonder if panel shows are the scurge of comedy. As far as I'm aware Lock only made one sitcom (pre the panel show takeover) which was brilliant but spent most of his time picking up easy money on panel shows. Imagine if the Monty Python crew had the option of high paying panel shows in their heyday, we could of lost a lot of great work.

My dad teaches negotiations and game theory for MBA students and this is one of the clips he always uses in his lectures - absolutely brilliant stuff.
That's brilliant. I've got tears of laughter.
Not only is it incredibly funny but it also showcases the huge value you can gain by pretending to be dumber than you are so as to be underestimated by your opposition - hard to find a better example in any textbook!That's brilliant. I've got tears of laughter.
That's a brilliant clip and genuinely exactly the sort of thing he teaches! It's fundamentally about how to understand and predict human behaviour within the context of a negotiation - fascinating stuff if you ask me though I'm a bit biased obviously!
Terrible news! Glad to see he was clearly loved by alot, a diamond of a comedian and will be dearly missed!
This would be a cracking gesture.
So sad, he was just an unreal comic and seemed a genuinely funny guy.
I don’t know my historical politics but why did he hate thatcher so much?
R.I.P.

Not an expert but I think it's cause she was a cnut.
Was doing some research on her and one particular statement said she was now working on a deal to privatise hell.
Most of the internet seems to agree with you.
My favourite Jack Dee stand up. Saw him live also in Bristol. Sean lock in the audience 12:55
