They are separate sketches, not just one. In addition to what was on the show, they also did a two- or three-parter for Red nose Day or Comic Relief or something. Discoverer, though...
My favourites you haven't done... "That Mitchell and Webb Look - Smell Off Linden Trees" "That Mitchell and Webb Look - Abraham" "Jesus Teaches About "The Good Samaritan""
I love the evil waiter/vicar/retailer series of sketches. The 'mythchild' is fun too. (With radio sketches, 'John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme' is fun and he wrote a lot of the best Mitchell and Webb stuff.)
You should check out Armstrong and Miller WW2 pilots there's a few clips that lead into one that also contains Mitchell and webb, two great double acts in one clip.
I like you both. You work well together. Mitchell and Webb did a series called Peep Show. It was more of a sit com as opposed to sketch but just as funny, quite hilarious.
I seen these guys in a movie about 10 or so years ago called "Magicians" I really loved the flick. They have a female co-star, ( unfortunately, I can't recall her name) who almost steals the show. In fact the entire supporting cast is hilarious. I did not realize they were a regular comedy team until I stumbled upon your RU-vid channel so thank you very much for making me aware of them. At any rate, I highly recommend the movie, they give a whole new meaning to the name "Courteney Cox". Thanks again.
Mitchell and Webb sketch comedy is always great :) Started off as a radio programme actually, it's less common to find but many of the radio sketchers were made into a TV series called That Mitchell and Webb Situation, before That Mitchell and Webb Look. There's no laugh track on those though :)
the last season of the radio version is one of my favourite things they ever did. there was a sense they were a little freer, but still retained the silly commentary on things like the glorious doorbell sketch
Try the following Mitchell and Webb skits: The Apprentice; Kitchen Nightmares; Gentlemen / Corner Shop; Third Person Caesar and the Garden Centre series. Oh, and the Digby Chicken Caesar series, which would be quite long if you reacted to all of them in sequence.
The underlying satire in the second segment highlights a paradoxical aspect of human/animal relationships. Often, the preservation of certain animal species is intertwined with their utility to humans, especially as a food source. The jest here is rooted in the idea that by choosing not to consume pigs, a species widely regarded for its intelligence, we inadvertently sign their warrant for extinction, as their continued existence hinges on their perceived value to us.
That makes no sense. Domestic pigs are not a species. Nothing is lost by not eating them. Manipulating the genes of an animal so you get more 'food' out of it, then saying that this genetic mutation should continue to be bred otherwise it wouldn't be here. Oh and we might as well kill it and eat it. Sounds like a circular argument to me.
"Tell us about a time you were under extreme pressure and how you handled it." Right now and fucking perfectly...almost perfectly...shit...I'll see myself out.
JCB - J C Bamford - is a (the!) manufacturer of heavy duty excavators, construction, farming equipment. "Built like a JCB" means, well, built like a JCB!
I was vegetarian for about 3 years. I was constantly hungry. No joke. Then one day i was in a city centre and this guy was selling pork burgers. I couldn't resist. I bought one and the constant hunger disappeared. Mind you im Irish and we kinda have a history with hunger
I have a vegetarian friend. She comes around to our house, we have seperated everything.. We have coloured plates to be very obvious which ones have meat, (or gelatin, or all that stuff).. We keep the knives/spoons/etc all separated. She is very appreciate of the effort we go to. And when we go around her house, she cooks us meaty stuff to go with the dinner.. Obviously, she calls us Cavemen or Savages.. but is obviously all jokes and stuff, because we (as in the whole group of friends) all make the effort to account of everyone. My wife and I are massive lightweights when it comes to spicy food, and some of our friends would win those EPIC EXTREME Food challenges with their level of spice.. The one thing we all agree on though... Cheese is amazing, and Vegans are silly.. LOL
The Catherine Tate Show is another hysterical British sketch comedy show. I would recommend looking into that. It had three seasons with some truly standout characters.
Guests of the late Fuehrer were never forced to share his vegetarian diet. The Reich Chancellery had an extensive wine cellar even though he was a total abstainer.
I assume somebody else has commented... But it's like finding the face of Madonna on the moon or a piece of toast. They're making fun by using an Atheist Version of those events. Then of course I think I've seen it mentioned, but Arctic Expedition & Discover(y/ies) are fantastic!
Completely agree about difficult eaters. We used to do our own version of come dine with me in our friends circle. Anyway this lady ended up being a part of it and she was vegetarian. Absolutely ruined the atmosphere and we eventually stopped it! Some people I swear, only do this so they can come across as interesting.
There was a phenomenon in the UK for a bit where some religious people (mainly Muslim) cutting open fruit and veg and supposedly finding the word “Allah” written in Arabic in the seeds (coincidentally if you ask me). Of course, the devout flocked to see it and to visit the shop where it was bought - much to the delight and financial gain of the shopkeeper. There was a tomato, an aubergine and a melon iirc. Harmless nonsense but this is what this sketch is satirising.
love your vids, from Colorado. I`m ure done chappell and burr, hat about mitch hedburg, or close. or even richard pryor alway great, or early eddie murphy
You see, both the religious and the atheists are believers. Neither know for sure, therefore choose to believe based on their upbringing + experiences = Believing. Pyrrho of Elis... The way to become happy and tranquil: ∇ ↡ ∇ ↡ ∇ 'The things themselves are equally indifferent, and unstable, and indeterminate, and therefore neither our senses nor our opinions are either true or false. For this reason, then we must not trust them, but be without opinions, and without bias, and without wavering, saying of every single thing that it no more is than is not, or both is and is not, or neither is nor is not.
As a vegan I would not accommodate someone wanting to eat meat, doing so is acceptance of using and killing animals. The whole reason I stopped having and using their bodies in the first place. Others may back down to keep people happy, pity that the animal going through hell is not considered at all, even though they give you more than your best friend ever will, their whole life for your sustenance and a brief pleasure. Vegan food is perfectly tasty for everyone and meat like plant food is far better than it used to be. The narrative in the sketch is mixed for both sides but still lightly biased towards animal consumption due to culture that overall accept meat consumption, brilliantly done to balance as far as could do without upsetting the cultural majority.
