The Country With The Most and Least Fit People In The World | Mock The Week 

In my final year of high school I got an A in P.E. for running 3km in 13 minutes and afterwards I was ready to die. Like, I was already seeing the white light. So yeah, I nearly spit my drink out when he said "22 minutes."

Sorry, what? 26:24?! That's ludicrous. It would take me most the day.

@@RoonMian 22 minutes?

@@andrewcarson5850 10k is only five miles which you can walk in a couple of hours.

@@highpath4776 6.25 miles.

Funny how the only thing that has changed on Dara over the last 12 years or so is the amount of hair he has/had. His face has stayed the same.

@@beno1129 not true. His hair has stayed the same but his forehead has grown towards his neck.

You mean Fuzz... my dad has the same😂😂😂

That’s not hair...it’s his faded dreams.

2009.

I said 24, but i meant hours.

That's a good one 👍

eh? i dont hear anything

@@iz723 He said: "IS A DUCK SCREAKING IN THE STUDIO?" You're welcome.

@@SpeckleKen Man! You're good! Thank you for the laughter 👍

@@SpeckleKen lmao

Probably the same reason why Dara always ends a joke with eeeh

I completely agree but I don't think it's the comedians themselves that are less funny, I'd say it's mostly the format that reflects why earlier series haven't aged very well. One-liners and playing on words are just generally going out of fashion so a format which revolves around quite a laddish culture of taking it in turns trying to one-up each other in order to get a quick laugh is just a bit cringeworthy to look back on in my opinion. Do you remember the earliest series, when all six panellists had to go up and basically only got to stop once Dara had decided they'd had a big enough laugh? Going from four to two in this round to make time for the comedians to go into more depth in their routines rather than just throw out a cheap pun, as well as getting rid of various rounds (that one where they come up with a headline from the four letters they're given, that one where someone says what a politician says and another says what they really mean and all manner of awful roleplay-based ones from the first series) have really improved the show in my opinion. It's not just six middle-aged men trying to outdo each other any more.

@@DavidOakesMusic That's true of any panel show I'd say, have you seen much Deayton-era Would I Lie To You?

@@ifandafydd7432 that was insufferable until Rob came on... Read card, get one or two questions, no interaction at all from Angus, immediately after said two questions "we need an answer". Just so bland.

@@ifandafydd7432 Mock the Week has always been pub level humour. It can swing between genius and wit to bottom barrel innuendos and dick jokes, that's just the way it's always been and stops it being too pretentious. It's probably the least PC programme on the BBC these days.

I only know from Sarah Millican, but everything she said was from her routine. I don't remember which show exactly... maybe 'chatterbox' ... but she is hilarious either way 😄

90% of this part of the show is part of the comedians scripted routine. It's usually the most boring predictable part of the show.

It's not improvised. They're given the subjects in advance so they can prepare. Same for "Scenes we'd like to see."

@@beeble2003 -Well, I don't mind at all. I'd be very amazed if the spots were improvised ! Some of them are tremendously clever. I love the British game shows !

@@renzo6490 Good. :) A lot of people seem to assume it's improvised and then get all offended when they find out that it isn't. The show doesn't ever claim to be improvised -- for example, the sections in the performance area are always described as letting them show their stand-up skills, not their improvisation skills.

Hunter-gatherers. We even call them Hunter-gatherers. Now, which requires more words, Hunting, or Gathering? Which one has a longer shopping list? You have to gather Wood to start a fire, and cook... Whatever the boys bring back. Oh yes, and whatever we found, don't eat that, it's poisonous. So, let me get this straight, we invented the concept of "Throw a rock at that," before we made a phrase for "Don't put that in your mouth, do you know where it's been?" This is an actual theory. It's not just a joke, there are literally Anthropologists that believe that we invented language for hunting. You ever been hunting? Because we tend to talk about cars, and women more than hunting. There just isn't much to talk about there.

Bantu is a legitimate term for a wide group of related languages. The clicks are associated with various languages including Xhosa which is part of the Bantu linguistic group. It is no longer considered appropriate to use "Bantu" to refer to the various tribes, but it is still considered correct to use it to describe the language group. The word is used clumsily in this video, and he should have done his research better, but there was clearly no racist intent.

@@mikefule330 I know that. I am South African. But all the explaining away doesn't make the term any less problematic. The term 'bantu' IS NOT appropriate (as in politically incorrect) AND (especially because it's used incorrectly) also racist. Just because you grew up using the term doesn't mean it's still ok. Because it isn't any more!

Really ? You want to search and look thru old clips to desperatly (and ofcourse by your standards find ) something racist. Its a joke. Not everything is racist in the world, how much you want it to be. Sometimes its just a old joke from a old clip. Its like serie 8 or so. Like the song in Frozen, let it go.

@@richieNL1 you know nothing. so please say nothing. I am European AND Caucasian but still know better than to use racist words. I am just pointing this out as the comedian can get into seriously hot waters if he tells this anecdote in front of a sensitive crowd. The anecdote is still funny and can still be told if he uses different (and more accurate) terms.

@@moonhunter9993 beeing offended is a choice. You dont have to feel offended. Its your choice if you do. There is nothing someone online or on a tv show say that can offend me. You have the right to feel offended i have the right to not give a sh* t about that. And your statement that your white and from europe has no meaning other then to show you are "woke". Comedians can and must make jokes about anyone and anything. Nothing is off limit. Because once you make a decision something cant be said, your one step away from censorship. Only thing that count is it funny. And if people laugh then you have your answer. People are way way to afraid to say something wrong these days. Like Elza said " let it go ".
