He was going long before MTW started. He was an impressionist doing voices for Spitting Image back in the 80's, and was one of the people behind the iconic "The Mary Whitehouse Experience" back in the 90's. He's been a loads of satirical sketch shows since then, and as far as I know, he's also worked behind the scenes as part of the writing team on a lot of other BBC comedy programs.
@@Reman1975 Thank you for the info on his background. I'm an American who found this channel quite by accident and am relying on all of the RU-vid MTW videos on which to base my judgment. Hugh is so consistent! Thanks again. Enjoy your weekend! 👍😊
"These Covid briefings can be tough, but at least I can say I didn't try rapping any of them" I love when they use each other as material. Such great fun.
Hugh Dennis’s line on preti Patel is absolutely brilliant! Describing the woman to a T just explaining how cruel and cold hearted she and her party are

My suggestion: The Prime Minister Boris Johnson will now give us a talk on the Delta variant. Let's see what he has to say... in 60 seconds without hesitation, repetition or deviation.
You clearly haven't watched a Dan Andrews (Premier of Victoria, Australia) give a COVID press conference. I have never witnessed anyone talk for so long and say so little.
G'day mates, this is a Yank, I need to thank 'Mock the Week' and the crew for helping me keep a sense of comedy to counter this Greek tragedy we've all lived thru this past year. Y'all helped to keep balance at a global level.
@@326Alan Yes, well aware of their location. I like the phrase g'day, it is a nice way to break the ice. When I was engineering in Boston I worked with an Aussie. Very nice fella and a very nice greeting.
I died from laughter when he said that this is best comedy when it’s unexpected the face he pulled when moving backwards was comedy gold and the laugh from audience member or one of others was hilarious
Unlikely things to hear in the covid briefing “We the government, hereby resign & will be turning ourselves, Cummings, David Cameron & the met police into the very few humane police we have left”
The public Inquiry I've promised for a year to hold will begin tomorrow. Since the most trusted and admired man in Britain is Sir David Attenborough we're thrilled he has agreed to Chair As an acknowledged expert on all forms of llife and behaviour, we believe he's uniquely qualified.
Wham! Bam! Thank you Van-Tam! I'm Professor Chris Whitty, and my ass won't quitty The ladies all love me, they show me their titties Wear a mask please, help the R-rate ease Stay alert Britain, now next slide please.
The sexier looking post-Christmas Romesh stand-in - Nailed it with one word and was the funniest of the lot. It was with these clues I realised that's not Romesh. If they did a double act, I'd watch it. Be nice if they credited the comedians in the description.
"We are rescinding our emergency powers and, in an act of good will, we will not be running in the next election. We will also be returning all the money we paid ourselves during this pandemic. You are all hereby free to return to your normal lives."
Maisie Adam, and she's a stitch. This is the least funny I've seen her. She also always seems pleased and overjoyed to be there or just with life in general.
I am a big fan of Rhys James. I might sound stupid to most people, but at 0:49, was that just a made up riddle as a joke or was it a real riddle with an answer? Please provide an answer if so. If it wasn't a real riddle, you may laugh at me without insults please. Thanks.
@@madisntit6547 Excellent guess. But a hurricane would only have one eye, not eyes, right? I honestly gathered that was a mistake by Rhys, as otherwise there would be no need to add "but cannot see" after saying "I have no eyes" . I thought he meant to say "yet" instead of "but". However, I was unsure whether he had eyes or not. For those I have confused: If he had said "I have no eyes", he should've said "yet I can see" and if it was "I have eyes" then he should've said "yet I cannot see". However, what would the answer be in either case?
More importantly why was Ollie Robison cancelled and Megan rapinoe hasn’t even been covered on any news channel About her racist tweet . She hasn’t even bothered deleting it
Couldn’t agree more. It’s too nice now. It used to be cut-throat and hilarious. Everyone was fighting each other to get a joke in and even Dara was funnier- the programme is definitely a sinking ship
If you're a Gervais fan go watch his vids, I've got good news for you, there's plenty on RU-vid. He's never been on this show, and probably never will be, his style of "humour" wouldn't really work that well in this format.
«The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD gave unto Him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of GOD, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.» [("Apocalypse") Revelation Chapter 1:1-3] Jakub.
