David Mitchell's Hilarious Rant On The Flat Earth Society | The Graham Norton Show 

Lots of people will miss your joke btw. Let's see how many actually gets it in about a month.

👌😂😂😂

@@akashjefe This is the most common joke about flat earthers... :P

@@kptmaci4979 sorry I'm New to flat Earth stuff. Don't know much joke about them

I don't like the atmosphere in this comment section. Flat earth is no joke. Edit: I guess I went too deep. Atmo"sphere" :)

This made me laugh. Thanks.

He’s teaching David to do his own dentistry.

Don't forget Claudia Winkleman.

@@fc63457 Yeah - Claudia has to be the best player of "WILTY" that I've ever seen.

Underrated comment

😂

This deserves a LOT more appreciation 😂

I'd like to pass this one on. I hope you don't mind.

😂🤣😂 LOVE this!!

He's a fool

Hey sorry, beeing German, I'm not familiar with this guy. Is he a reptilioide maybe? 😉

He's brilliant.

This isn't one of them though. It's embarrassing.

@@ramdas363 Yes, how devastating to be caught insisting the world is not flat. He must be deeply ashamed at that gaffe.

Agreed! I was thinking he is soooo holding back!

Yup ... This wasn't even chit-chat just a chit when it comes to this gentleman's abilities in the art of rants

@Stanislav Hronek Now if that is what you were asserting - that and that alone - I would say you were telling the truth!

"Hold on, they adopted a little boy called Steve Jenkins and took him to china?"

cyprol 😂 I thought the same. It only lasted 2 minutes

Life must be weird for David Mitchell. He goes from small BBC radio sitcoms to having friends who win Oscars and sitting on a sofa with a former US presidential candidate.

@@Ovenman940 Which Oscar-winning friends does he have? Not in a malicious way, just asking out of interest.

​@@Ali-lh1st Olivia Colman

I hadn´t noticed until you said it. But even with that combination, Graham manages to keep the show entertaining.

Yes, me and my wife!

We know, THat is why flerfs are so annoying.

wow... you are good at parroting sentences you don't even understand 😂

I once almost joined a cult, I certainly ain't a smart cookie with religion but I know well enough to sniff out BS, so when they were dropping beliefs that are so stupid I feel bad for the unfortunate people who fall for their traps because you can certainly tell a lot of them are good people but they were not educated enough to notice the BS. Certainly glad I stepped out after my first day, the level of being completely dumb to the facts and the level of ignorance for the truth is beyond belief. But that's what you get when cult leaders turn outsiders against you by saying everyone else is lying and trying to hurt you. You get people who will only share but won't debate.

@@ChefBuckeye The globe cult is the biggest in the world. Lol.

​@@freedomdove can grab any cheap telescope and look at the moon and clearly see the perspective of the craters change as a result of the curvature that can only exist with a sphere, but all these american halfwits know different don't they

Not only did he study in Cambridge, his IQ is very high. Don’t ask me for the exact number. He makes me laugh all the time - so does Lee Mack.

Know what you mean, but there's really nothing unhinged about criticising flat-earthers.

@Joe Bloggs There isn't a concise argument being had because flat earth theory is fundamentally an anti-argument. What proof is there of a round planet? Only centuries of mathematics analysing the curvature of the horizon, the way light interacts with the atmosphere, a basic understanding of how objects in space actually exist and that's before you get into the actual photographs. But these points don't matter to flat earthers, because they use the same response for each of them: you cannot trust official government-sanctioned statistics. Which is, essentially, a conversation-ender. Do you see why healthy debate cannot be fostered like this? There is no agenda that they believe in, they literally just...do not believe the government. Which isn't unreasonable by itself, but if you ask what possible reason the government might have for this coverup they have no solid theory. It's literally just contrarianism with zero substance. How do you eloquently disprove an argument with someone uninterested in reasonable argument?

@Joe Bloggs If you buy a telescope or binoculars and look into the sky all you will see is approximately ROUND objects, so long as they are massive enough to have an appreciable gravity. Why do you think earth would be different? Because an imaginary Divinity decided to have fun one afternoon? You realise Terry Pratchett wasn't writing a text book?

@Joe Bloggs your opinion is they are not idiots. If they put a metal object into a live electrical socket 30 seconds after watching someone else being electrocuted they are idiots. There is a direct correlation.

@Joe Bloggs obviously you aren't the best of anyone. Barely adequate maybe, if we stretch definitions a bit.

lmao

the only thing flat earthers phear is phear itself

Wonderful.

Bravo.

Groundbreaking stuff

No he isn't.. Nasa are liars

One of the best comments I’ve seen in a while! I couldn’t have put it better myself. Good for you 👍

It is an actual lack of information. Those in authority and those with power and responsibility are more interested in censorship and calling dissenting opinions idiots etc etc etc. You cannot challenge and/or intellectually beat flat earthers with censorship, or calling them idiots. It is disrespectful and dangerous. People have the right to have "dumb and wrong" opinions. People have the right to an opinion. BUT the only reaction the "elite" have is censorship and persecution. That is the actual issue. Not that a small small minority of people want to believe silly/dumb/wrong things.

@@mrfreeman2911 That has to be one of the most idiotic comments I have seen in ages. Absolute rubbish.

@@PanglossDr lol. Great argument. So we censor flat earthers? Thereby reinforcing their believes and belief of persecution. Amazing idea.

@@mrfreeman2911 Have you got any idea how stupid your comments are? Please go learn what censorship is. Any comment containing the word you put in quotes will, almost by definition, be fatuous and ignorant.

That's quite sad because a relatively recent flat Earth Facebook group boasted that they had followers "all over the globe".

@@NewFalconerRecords No kidding

The flat earth society has no members as they are a troll group pushing garbage that no flat earther thinks

🤣🤣🤣

But the stamp was flat, what’s the problem? They think the Earth is round, just flat and round 😂

So true. The difference from conspiracy theories and real science is falsification. Meaning real science doesn't try to find proof that their theories are correct, rather that they're incorrect. If the research can't show any proof that the theory is incorrect, then it might be that the theory has been proven- UNTIL further research shows any different conclusion. So there's a humility built in the scientific method completely lacking in conspiracy theories

Yeah like how Russia stole the election from Hilary.

I have a theory that the moon is made of cheese. Oh hang on.....

hmmm, ok test .. the Earth is doughnut shaped. Oh, sh*t ..

I loved it when P J O’Rourke said “Who’s idea was it to put every idiot in touch with every other idiot?”

@@MLB9000 lol, that’s so true

You make a fair point, and I mostly agree with you. I do have a nagging suspicion that its also a side effect of society not valuing people for who they are, and measuring everyone against the same arbitrary yardstick. Generations of people spilling out of schools where many people consider themselves stupid because their skills and qualities are not recognized by the teaching and grading process. If you think you are stupid, and you suddenly get told that you aren't, it kind of makes sense that you would want to maintain that feeling of validation. Then you go online and drop flat-earth 'truths' and get derided as an idiot. It's a targeted insult to someone who deep down believes it to be true. Doubling down most likely seems the least painful route to take at that point. I just wonder sometimes how much worse we make the problem by not responding to foolishness with compassion.

This exactly this. I am no mathematician and higher math completely eludes me. I however do not think that means that math doesn't exist. That is where they take this, anything they can't understand with their tiny brains must be a lie and part of a plot.

You're right, but I don't believe the "Facts" they keep pushing on the Turtles gender. The Counterweight Continent is full of lies. A'tuin is female

@@GRAHFMETAL I'd be interested to hear what they have to say about this in Fourecks. According to globalists on the disc it doesn't exist as it doesn't fit their model! I'm sure the university in Bugarup would have something to say about that though. And maybe they have a different perspective on the turtle's gender. But what about the elephants? No one ever considers the elephants

Petition for Nasa to show us the space turtle

Bedtime stories used to be so much more creative. Still not asleep? Well I guess I'll put a turtle under the elephants.

My current favourite comment thread on RU-vid. Keeping it real. Thanks for the work you do.

Now it's also used by weirdos and more perverts

I've used the internet for years, now I'm trying to work out which of those two categories I fit into.

@Josh D thank you, that's put my mind at rest.

Well I'm no intellectual, but I agree

More often than not a combination of the two

They can’t. Which is why they simply deny that this happens.

they dont think about it at all

Easy. They deny deny deny.

Remember the 1990s and how people said the internet would give us the "global village"? With it came the global village idiots.

Literally one of them.

It's because the whole thing is basically scripted. They've decided in advance what they're going to talk about so why would he interrupt them talking about the designated topic?

@@FortoFight either way...what i meant is that when compared to Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen etc. We actually get to listen to what the guest have to say.

@@FortoFight All talk show hosts do that. That's why they call it the "pre-interview". Hosts that don't do that are usually a nightmare. I love Artie Lange, jebus dude, let your guest get a word in edgewise.

@@Gunman610 I didn't necessarily say it was bad, just pointed out that the whole conversation is scripted which is why Graham isn't interrupting.

Your English is excellent.

She's as brutal a fact dealer as Mitchell behind closed doors but Americans thought it made her seem bitchy or shrill so she stopped doing it. Before she ran for office though she was on the warpath.

It seems like someone forgot the funny??

Coolest fact about that: in response to the Apollo program’s first picture of the earth, the London branch of flat earth society decided to close its doors. That was in ‘69? Good to see people are getting more stupid over the years 🤣

He has done a lot of shows hosting, but what he would definitely not ever do, is chair a show where he has to constantly feign interest in everybody's plug. (yes, I see the irony in that, as he's being a guest on a talkshow because he had a book out.)

Ah, erudition at last. Thank you, caballero.

bold of you to assume these people know actual history

The news had been out for thousands of years, and yet they still haven't got it, means that their gadgets were actually earlier, their "tablets" were actually made of sun-dried mud...

What were the camels for? All you need is vertical sticks an some way to measure a long distance in north south direction, ideally without tall mountains in-between.

Well, Mad Mike wasn't really a flat earther. After his death his brother and agent both confirmed that he was just pretending to be so that flat earthers would contribute to his go fund me. He was just a guy who liked to fly in his rockets and was just a little too eager and didn't cancel the flight when they discovered the backup chute wasn't working. Turned out it was the first time he would have needed it too. I mean, of course it was a con. His rockets only flew about 1000 feet up. For a fraction of the price anyone could get on a plane and get a much better view.

Not only that...but they sent them out all around the globe! ;)

@@mtlnascarfan He’s here all week, folks.

U ,here, gave Too much information to be processed by the "idiots' " brains.

Eratosthenes is one of the truths they integrated into their belief system. If you ask them how high their sun is they will normally state around 4 thousand miles. If you take Era's angles and place on a flat earth that's the height you get. Of course, if you take multiple sun angles (say from the timeanddate site) you'll find multiple heights and so falsify flat earth... But they don't care, they can just ignore you.

we dont live on a sphere mate, its impossible. also the light on the moon is not reflected sun light, sphere's dont reflect light, you learn that in school, a suface has to be flat or curved. So that means very basically that the moon is not what youve been told. (when you were 6 or 7) easy to take in lies then, like santa.
