The Mitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy | David Mitchell's FUNNIEST Moments, Outbursts & Rants! 

Being David Mitchell

Looking unnoteworthy, but not looking so unnoteworthy to the point of being noteworthy.

Everything.

His little bell

Posh or repressed, not sure which...

at the same time, he has never looked so out of place.

that’s the best part

I can well believe that Victoria suggested it, and they both laughed, and then he actually used it in the show. She's sharp as a tack too.

@@thesprawl2361 i can't

@@sergeruffles1380 Um. Okay?

Sure? There's a David Mitchell Compilation titled "Barbigerous Harbinger Of Exuberance"

You should go to a Waterstones - it'd blow your fucking mind.

Permission denied

Have you ever heard of a publication called the Daily Star? You'd absolutely love it.

He'd also make an excellent Arthur Dent.

Not even from his mum! From his wife, hahahahah!

What we really want is more BTS /funny outtakes or too hot for tv clips from all the panels shows!! 8oo10cdc especially, channel4

Narstie and VCM are friends in real life, right?

@@investigate3_11 I actually heard it in Victoria's voice!! XD

Funniest thing in this video.

Seriously I’m upset that wasn’t picked up on

With just a second of extra thought he would probably have said "wiring" instead but right from the hip that was amazing.

Are you telling me Grand Master Flash is not a member of the Order of the Garter ?

Does original gangster mean someone who is into bootlegging? :p

@@poilboiler This clip cuts out a bit in the middle where they ask Jimmy if he knows what OG means and he says original gangster. That's how David knew, he learnt it about 3 seconds before he said that.

@@alexishoare I only know it from GTA San Andreas.

I thought it was "Old Geezer", probably cause I am one...

Ayoade succeeded Mitchell as president of the Cambridge Footlights. So they've done comedy together since university. There is a photo floating around of Ayoade, Mitchell & John Oliver at a college party.

Richard Ayoade (as well as Ricky Gervais) was an additional writer on the Mitchell and Webb original sketch show Bruiser

@@markbrown7913 John Oliver is legit funny, a pity he sold out and is now doing Trump bashing, leftist propaganda on late night TV.

@@aaronbarlow4376 wow, you are a barrel of laughs. A special little snowflake

@@aaronbarlow4376 in all fairness Trump from a non American view point, is yikes.

Something about “became prepared” tickled me

jimmy looks incredibly uncomfortable lol

Nah it was just decent

Yeah nah it wasn't that good just decent :p

Amazing joke, just got it after probably seeing this 10 times

I don't get it. Can anyone explain it, please?

Carpenters to wood, as electricians to electricity

Small dick enthusiasm is his best line..

Yes. And he went back for more

"I probably shouldn't say this, but it's very very cheesy"

My favorite bit of this video is when he just mutters in exasperation "Oh... the fucking cheese..."

@Leon Russell I'm lactose impatient. I can't abide cheese

Rowan Aboat communist cheese

He has almost as good a voice as Christopher Lee. God forbid they ever remake lord of the rings but charles dance would be a good saruman

🌎 ✌️ ?

@@gabrielcooper1248 Yikes! You embarrassed yourself pretty badly there. Of course they got the joke; that's why they posted it.

@@hux2000 damn, you're right

Suchit Vontary it’s a play on “coming out of the woodwork/carpentry” right?

@@UnwovenSleeve yes. Ayode said 'electricians come out of the woodwork to stand around and watch.' So David responded 'and carpenters come out of the electricity'.

You'll note at this point he lowers the bar "Drill in one hand, cock in the other".

@@kylegraham4598 So the peasants can understand something.

@@kylegraham4598 I initially heard it as "caulk in the other." But then I'm very pure-minded. 😈

I don't know if it's just me, but Ms Dent makes me forget words... I'd glory glory hallelujah her till the second coming of jesus... Oo

@@parishna4882 ok

@@GoatmanDan I don't need your approval.

@@parishna4882 nice man, happy for you. i was just hoping my total lack of interest would make you realise what a weird comment you posted

@@GoatmanDan I'm just so glad you approve... I mean, secretly I need the dopamine hit that I get when people acknowledge me on the internet, that I say one thing, hoping for the opposite to occur. And you just gave me a good hit. ahhhhh... and now... I have buyers remorse.. So now I feel sad again.. maybe if I head on over to Action Labs videos and post something equally random there, I might elicit a few comments directed towards me. But.. I DON'T NEED ANYONE TO MAKE ME FEEL HAPPY...... ps... I'd still shag her brains out..

Classic! (And does he say it in the same dulcet tone?)

Victoria: Hands him a flapjack, since she always has one with her.

I refer to myself as an SG: Stale Gangster.

Repitition

Charlie Higson is a criminally underrated comedian

I don't see it... I believe neither David nor the viewers would be comfortable with all the mid-air sex in the third book. 😬😂 And Victoria as Trillian doesn't seem the right fit at all, either. 🤔 I can see Robert Webb as Ford though... Honestly, Martin Freeman was actually perfect casting, it's just a shame they botched some of the story and that the sequels were never made.

David Mitchell would make an amazing Arthur Dent. And Lee Mack as Ford Prefect. Rachel would make a good Trillian since she knows Quantum Physics. Jon Richardson could be Marvin

@@Tkieron How could anyone but Richard be Marvin?

I would watch the hell out of that

@@singenstattatmen5096 It's ok, it's not like an adaptation these day would get that far. I thought Freeman was pretty balls, myself. He's just playing the same socially awkward character he always does. Simon Jones was perfect.

His deadpan delivery of Victoria's exemption letter introduced better harmony and tune to the song than whatever that was. _At this point Jimmy Carr would just need to laugh were it his turn_

I'm an American, so I spell it "program," but the way David said that, I *heard* that E.

Who's the woman next to Mitchell in that bit? I KNOW I saw her somewhere but I couldn't place it to save my life...

@@vojtechjanda9684 That is Zawe Ashton. She played Vod in the TV show Fresh Meat.

@@jaxxfanuk so I checked her acting portfolio and turns out I've seen her in s8 of nu-Who but most likely remember her face from that one episode of Misfits from about 10 years ago. Thanks for the name, now I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to recall where I'd seen her.

I thought the joke was that nobody in show business wants to say "yes it should be the end of his career" out of fear of somehow ending up in the same position.

I think it was more to do with not wanting to or being exhausted at the idea of "canceling" a person, but also not being able to justify their actions by any means. I think the question was bad.

I sang it to jingle bells and wondered why it didn't work

Well done everybody, quite fun

Max Gustafsson My creature

With no rights in law

Mo Gilligan. Legend

He said Cock...

@@jimmygrey6848 or did he? since he was talking about carpenters

@@CorvusCorone68 Clearly said "cock".. He even slightly gestures downwards towards his own. And they were talking about miscellaneous film crew coming to watch when a sex scene is filmed, the implication being they would be cock-in-hand i.e. masturbating... Also the British pronunciation of "Caulk" wouldn't sound like cock, only in an American accent does the AU vowel sound resemble a short "O".

@@jimmygrey6848 yeah it often sounds more like 'culk' over here (with a swallowed 'u'), given our prediliction for not stressing vowel sounds. though ofc we have enough variety of accents that there's probably a few where it sounds very different. i think it still kinda works as a pun/censorship-avoidance trick. he *might* have been saying caulk, it's *just* possible enough to be a deniable use of the word cock in a light entertainment show.

it was too intellectual :'(

@@gigi3843 It took me a minute or two. If you are slow like me, you do have to stop and think why it is ironic that the carpenters are coming out of the electricity, rather than somewhere else.

@@TheToledoTrumpton I still don't get it

@@Mocsk Carpenters coming out of the woodwork? "Coming out of the woodwork" is an expression in Britain for appearing unexpectedly.

@@TheToledoTrumpton yeah, I get that. I don't get the part about electricity.

cut to deleted scene from Game Of Thrones season 4... Cersei: "Everything they say about me and Jaime... it's true..." Tywin: "You... you mean... you had rumpy pumpy? No, I don't believe you!" Cersei: "... Yes you do. We had oodles of rumpy pumpy, and it was glorious."

Also it's his name in disguise... And the question was REAL name. So it's not an acceptable answer

Actually he WAS Donald Blake originally. You can thank retcons for the confusion.

It was in the first Thor movie as an easter egg

There’s already a Richard Ayoade one!

One of Sean Lock would be an hour long easily

MaxTheFun1995 KFC is even better.

He would have gone for the hat trick with "rule of three" but that would have seemed mean spirited

"Ah ah ah ah aahhh"

He laughs on the inhale , not the exhale

No idea, too busy admiring the fact someone else chose the same exact still image from SpongeBob as a profile picture.

Alex C we are truly men of culture

yes, please.

Especially since it was beyond HIS boundaries!

"electricians out of the woodwork" was Richard's line from some other show.

The line was "carpenters out of the electricity"

Was It Something I Said was so disappointing. The thing is that I'm not sure why, it just seems that there was no real energy in the show. Great host, great guests... perhaps it was simply the concept? Or the editing, making the game more important than the banter (which has never been how panel shows work). Though I'm sure it was sad for David that it didn't work out, I'm still glad he wasn't tied to it for longer. Hope to see him host a better panel show some time.

@@edwardv1255 agreed. Would I Lie To You is so much more enjoyable!

@@edwardv1255 I think it was a combination of 3 things: The concept was definitely part of it. It just wasn't that funny. I also think that, as much as he's talented, Richard Ayoade did not make a great team captain, and isn't actually that comfortable at improv. And this one will be controversial, but I don't think David's a good choice as host. You don't want him delivering lines from a prompter, you want him riffing on a panel. It had a lot of incredibly talented pieces, just arranged in the wrong order and used badly.

Yip - let's start a mountain of donated livers and kidneys to get this done.

Who would you give them to? Why would they be sufficient payment? You seem strange.

@@matthewhowes2978 I know that's you david.

Good one

Actually in the early comics, Dr Blake is Thor’s alter ego. He finds a walking stick and discovers that striking it on the ground turns him into Thor so he alternates between Thor and Dr. Blake. I just looked on Wikipedia and what I didn’t realize is that Odin had erased his memory and sent him to Earth to live as a mortal to teach him a lesson in humility.

@@asterix7842 ah, yes, thank you!

Joe's mascot adds A LOT to the joke as well, a shame it's usually separated from David's bit.

Please do yourself a favor and find out who Jon Richardson is. He's amazing

*WELL DONE*

Frankly someone needs to hire that man

Fifthed

nineteenthed... Shit... jumped over a few there to some extent...

Whys that sad?

🤦🏼‍♂️
