Mark Ronson hits the decks without kecks
By London Lite Last updated at 14:54pm on 03.11.09Mark Ronson was caught with his pants down last night when a comedy skit with David Walliams went a little too far for his liking.
Cheeky: Walliams and Mark Ronson
The pair were at the Concert For Care at Brixton Academy, and David got rather intimate while in character as failed children's TV presenter Des Kaye.

Maybe he believes that acting like the human equivalent of Emu is high comedy, Mark Ronson certainly looked uncomfortable during a sketch that was from start to finish in dubious 'taste'.
David Walliams was totally outclassed by Rob Brydon and Dara O'Briain, in what was otherwise a great night's entertainment for a very good cause.
Special praise has to go to Damien Rice for his performance without the use of a mic, how many singers today can manage that?

This is just an inceredibly tired gag now! It shows the appallingly pathetic sense of humour of David Walliams.
"Wouldn't it be funny if we pulled his trousers down?" repeated ad nauseum.
Walliams is possibly one of the least funny comedians to have existed and, frankly, comes across as somewhat of a bully, always finding "comedy" in humiliating people or making them feel uncomfortable.
I don't like Mark Ronson but this just isn't funny. Anybody who thinks it is needs to go back to primary school, because their sense of humour obviously hasn't progressed beyond that point.
