Mark "The Beast" Labbett | Full Address and Q&A | Oxford Union 

the crowd did him so dirty. he's hilarious and none of them laughed or smiled even in the slightest. what a deadbeat crowd.

crowd is so dull

A fascinating man poorly hosted, again, and an audience with no sense of humour or ambience. What has happened to this college. Where are the characters, the minds, the future?!?

If you look at him upside down he has a really nice smile

Great guest, tough room lol

People don't understand, the narcissism is part of marks comedic tv personality, the audience dont understand

The crowd must’ve thought they were at a funeral, yikes.

What a cold room OMFG

Jesus...and I thought the Germans had no sense of humor...

The mark of the beast is already here and I cannot find nowhere in the Bible about no precursor anywhere and on the news they talk about🐒pop and let’s see what the Bible has to say “ 1st BOWL of WRATH - Earth 🌍 “ Revelation 16:2 So the 1st Angel went & poured out his bowl on the Earth 🌍, & HARMFUL & PAINFUL SORES came upon the people who BORE THE MARK OF THE BEAST & worshiped it’s image.
