Olivia Colman Is Hooked On Richard Ayoade’s Book Premise | The Graham Norton Show 

🤦🏾‍♂️🤣😂You are my hero right now

Thank you, God

Diss-mantling 🤣🤣🤣

a Dissertation, even.

Diss-mantling! Boom!!

Exactly 😂 An idol, I'd dare to say

Ayodade is so cute

He can be funny but I don't find this funny at all. I shouldn't have to try to find something funny because it's promoted as such. It's becoming a theme.

Travis Blue what do you mean “for a black man”?

@@ggm7809 let Travis alone, either way he's a troll or an idiot, which means he needs help

it's like the opposite of the usual comedy duo, where the "straight man" cracks the jokes and the other one, i forget the term, is the reactor

She had a lot of practise alongside David Mitchell in Peep Show, I guess.

She's a small town cop desperate to prove herself as a detective on the London Metropolitan Police. He's an eccentric genius whose brilliance is matched only by his talent for annoying people. They fight crime!

Stephen Barringer so... broadchurch but in London

@@luisabegazo609 Well, yes, but hopefully far less depressing. :)

That was a poor joke bc Whole Foods is incredibly expensive and not blue collar at all.

@@samaraisnt that's the point

Woooosh

Rosalie Welsh leave it...he didn’t get it

@@Luca_86 I didn't mean to be rude or anything I just wanted them to understand the joke. Sorry if it came off that way.

doom VIAGO

Viago ♡

@@briannam7780 i did not know that you liked eating WORMS

Jajsja, is sooo great!

The shaaaaaade 😂

That's an excellent way of putting it!

Elite level sarcasm. I love him so much.

Not a lot of half Norwegian comedians in the uk

It's because he doesn't laugh, like, ever, he doesn't even hint that he's joking but somehow he just gets the message through and people who appreciate good comedy know that he's joking. The audience didn't know when to laugh and when to not laugh, for example when he mentioned his wife, that was rude but he has such a quick wit so he immediately turned that into a joke as well, what a brilliant mind

Jasper Störningar why was it rude to mention his wife?? Legit question

He is a force of nature that's who he is.

I agree that he did appear to not have the foggiest idea who he is. Which is ironic because I don't have the foggiest idea who Chadwick Boseman is. Who is he btw?

@@Tulkas219 Main character in Black Panther.

@@guccideltaco -Ah, haven't seen that yet, still on my to watch list. Thanks for the reply!

Boseman thinking: "a black guy?" "But whiteman humour?" Hmmmm... inconceivable....

Actors usually have a good sense of humour about their films that bombed and Paltrow famously hated that film. I think they would both find the very idea of the book hilarious.

@@bwalker77 funny you should say bombed, since planes have historically been known to drop them, and also Paltrow is a bit of a bombshell

He felt...nothing….

Emanuel T Says something about MCU I guess

I mean, we now know that Gwyneth won't remember they're in the MCU together lol

Oh God absolutely. Even as far back as Harriet in Green Wing, she a wonderful actress.

Olivia: 👁👄👁

If there was ever a use for the surprised pikachu face meme, it's for Olivia Coleman's reaction.

Pals P ummm you put the wrong em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LA-ble.

@@Sandyyyyyyyyyy what do you mean

@@palsp666 its a quote from the film...

@PurelyAfrican no, i don't think anyone has either, but im sure most, like me, watched the trailer right after watching this lel, and the quote is in the trailer...

"You're breakin' up with me? In a BIRTHDAY CARD?" "Well, they don't make breakin' up cards."

Olivia desperately trying to choke back a spit take after that is all of us.

@@captainsplifford Brilliant!!🤣

Travis Blue what does that even mean? for a white man your level of intelligence is quite fitting

@Travis Blue I would never downgrade an unproblematic and non racist white person, but that's clearly not the case here.

​@Travis Blue How dare you talk about humanity and even naming Jesus when you just disrespected somebody who has recently passed away? Let me guess, you're one of those people who truly believes that they are right all the time and uses the name of God to sustain your mediocre ideas and hate. Go back to the Westboro Baptist Church or something.

Was he already diagnosed. Is this a media run?

@@kimakotrotman6860 He passed away.

Yeah, seems that went over a lot of people's heads. Richard is quite the wit.

@@matthewjoly that actually went over mine lol

I must be dumb, what does it mean?

@@NeaEmrys I think it's in reference to Mark Ruffalo's height.

@@NeaEmrys Mark R. like a number of actors who play tough guys is not all that tall in real life.

Yes!!! I was thinking that would make the book even more comical just hearing it read in his dry deadpan voice.

Its out on audiobook. I'm listening to it.

@@ashgenius please tell me he narrates it

@@shooglechic of course!

You think he's not already ON TOP of that?

Same here. Every few months it's recommended by RU-vid and I always watch it, every time and enjoy every moment, every time.

And Helena laughing at Olivia's reactions :))

Just the calibre of talent on that sofa made for a great episode.

I can't even imagine what chaos would result and yet... 😆😆😆

Two geniuses in the same space... The universe might implode, but it's worth the risk!

Someone make that happen!

NOW

Taika waititi is just awful. He ruined thor, destroyed what was meant to be a dark and dismal thor movie. He should be banned from film just for that.

@Travis Blue you're disgusting you know. This whole youtube comment section is full of your racist comments.

There some people who never stop talking, remember someone years ago, riding in a car, conversation was over, but they just kept talking on about something else and I could tell it did not matter if I was there.

@OT S Most celebrities have some kind of a public persona. Usually it is a slightly exaggerated or otherwise emphasized version of their real selves (and some are just completely different in public than in private). I think this is what the he referred to as a character. Ayoade's so-called character is a very deadpan, serious, shy and self-deprecating awkward person. This is probably just a very very overdone version of his actual personality but who knows.

Eggy and that’s exactly why the idea that he could portray the Doctor is completely ridiculous (:

S Sh Ridiculous in a good way or bad? Because I can see Richard Ayoade doing a fantastic, yet very different, Doctor.

@@JonathanNichollstechandsuch8 he'd be a good Dalek

Jonathan Nicholls The Doctor I didn’t know I wanted till now. But now I need it.

He is using literally very much in its original sense. He's commenting on the way they're sitting.

Ronal Vettikattu I was worried she’d snort her drink out her nose

She knows how to do comedy and at this point Ayoade's story needed her perfect "normie" timing, enhancing Ayoade's awkwardness properly. If it was only Carter and Boseman without Coleman's warmth, Ayoade's awkwardness would have been just that and the comedic message wouldn't have come through. Carter is a special kind of weirdo herself and Boseman is an outsider, trying to understand what was happening. Respect! And rest in peace, Chadwick Boseman.

CAMMAN! They probably use the same sofa. ;)

Having Olivia and Richard together pretty much guarantees that.

I feel lucky to actually have attended this taping.

Iron Fan No, it’s a different sofa every time. Re-using furniture is for poors.

@PurelyAfrican The unintentional sarcasm is real.

Chadwich was trying to keep a straight face thinking- don't laugh, laugh, don't laugh. 😌

RiꜱᴇnHᴇᴇd It’s the Ayoade way

Oh, that's what he said, thank you for writing it

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?!

@@bloopbloopbloopbloopbloop you have no idea how happy you just made me

@@aidamcewen6884

@Pluralizes Everythings The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in!

They're both in the MCU so it makes it even funnier. I wonder what they all make of her homeopathy money making.

@Thurman Ulrich yeah he doesn't seem very bright. And Americans don't really get dry sarcastic humour anyway

@@MM-eb4uq Nah I completely disagree, he comes across as pretty intelligent in other interviews I've seen. I think he's just not used to Ayoade's style.

@Thurman Ulrich I disagree. He was definitely able to keep up with Richard, he even brought back "the salty nuts" joke around. He pats him on he back at some point in this video. He gets it. Also, if you've seen the full version, he literally raise a glass to toast Richard for his sense of humour. Chadwick gets it, he just expresses it differntly than the others.

I definitely think he got it and appreciated Ayoade's humor, with the exception of the jokes about his hometown. Speaking as an American, the jokes about pastoral-sounding British towns are a whole segment of British humor that is completely lost on most of us. There's not really an equivalent to it in American humor, even making fun of, ah, certain states the need not be mentioned (*cough* Florida *cough*) is a very different kind of humor... the joke about Christmas still being celebrated in Ipswich (which, as an American, I don't even remotely get, though it seems very funny) wouldn't really work at all if you replaced Ipswich with Florida. So I think Chadwick's apparent confusion with that particular joke is real. (I wouldn't be surprised if this gets a reply from a fellow American claiming to get British city-related humor - Brits, don't believe them!)

Mary Bruun The Doctor is basically a Gadget Travel Man xD

YESSS!

Omg, brilliant, I never knew I wanted this! Now it’s all I want to see.

Oooohhhh... Yes ❤️

Oh my god I am HERE for Richard as the Doctor

Are you saying Mark Ruffalo is a dwarf?

@@patrickayooladokun No, Richard was implying that though

Patrick Ayo Oladokun Most Hollywood actors are short. There are notable exceptions, Tim Robbins being the most obvious.

@@patrickayooladokun he is quite short

@@patrickayooladokun He's shorter than Gwynyth Paltrow.

I want to like this but it's at 69 likes...

@@legofan370 it's at 95 now, it's your moment to shine and make it reverse 69!

@@thejosie Lol thanks. And I did. ;)

Not really. He just reiterated Richard's joke that bombed because the audience were too thick to get it through his deadpan delivery.

@@beback_ Come on man, I like Richard Ayoade but lets not pretend you need a 200iq to understand his basic comedy.

Wakanda Forever

He even gets in a good joke about the salty nuts, which I think threw Ayoade off for a second. I always get a kick out of that.

Yeah, I clicked because I saw Moss in the thumbnail, this was a nice surprise. He looked good here.

Thank you for writing this ❤

poor guy.. trying to get eccentric British humour

He might not be the mind we deserve - but he is the mind we need!

He was the main reason I loved IT Crowd and there was a lot to love about that program!

Hannah no problem, glad to help. If it makes anything even better, we go as far as putting up decorations.

Lol 😅

What I can't believe is that there's a town in England in which the "w" isn't silent.

@@RichardX1 we’re known for that and we also known for having the hardest water in the UK 💪🏻

@@zoemaynunn9052 it's just y'all and Sandwich, then, is it? Or have we all been pronouncing portable meals semi-contained by bread wrongly all these years? (also I weep for your plumbing)

Immediately after this interview I bought it on Audible. It is SO much better with him actually reading it!!!

paula me too

@@7261amorgan he's reading it???

@@alexia4513 Yes. I mean he narrates it on Audible

Listening on Audible now. Pretty good.

Yes! As another Norwegian, I concur. My mormor made loads of christmas biscuits, the most notable the thin gingers and the white christmas ones made with hjortehornsalt!

@@finflwr Okay I don't know if that word is real but it sounds like fancy salt. And I'm in.

@@aylapetty2051 It's not, I'm afraid. It's actually called hjortetaksalt and it's ammoniumhydrogencarbonate (often called carbamate), a rising and crisping agent for baking cookies (not cakes, as the ammonium won't be able to evaporate).

Christmas cookies/biscuits are very real, we make plenty in my household here in Denmark 😎

I agree, I make Christmas biscuits every year, they are very much a real thing!

He's fun on "Travel Man" show, short little two day visits as a travel show, but he brings comedy into it.

Do I understand correctly the book Richard was talking about is available on Audible?

@@tantuce YES!! I think he has a few there, but that's the one I really love. It's just bad sometimes because you do get sucked into his story-telling. But if you are tired - he's VERY calming.

except, what if Richard plays a character himself in public, and the Richard his family knows is nothing like this? maybe not nothing but dialed back perhaps

CorvusCorone68 don’t mess with my mind plz

I think i saw an interview with him where the writers said that they immediately thought of him when writing the character? Or was that someone else?

@@dylansharkey6040 no, you're right, I remember this, too. He then asked whether and how he should change his voice for the role and they said something like "no, not at all, yours is just perfect" xD

TOTALLY. all I see is Moss talking 'I have a hot ear' *spray

Peep Show, my friend

oh my god that would be so good !!

Yess

He's done a few programs; notably The Gadget Show as well as Travel Man. Also he's in The IT Crowd.

Thank you. I was looking at this comment.
