Mitchell & Webb Mime Sketch

[TheMclias]

Webb can moonwalk like an absolute king!

[LizaLips1]

I like Robert Webb better than David Mitchell. Don't you?

[scaryninja1693]

I like how he's wearing a stereotypical French black/white stripe mime artist shirt.

[andgadoline]

i did a class like this today and was very tempted to act like robert

[spongiebungie]

did not recognise David with the whole french mime look he's got going on- WOW...

[hyperseauton]

Is it technically mime if a mime is commenting his moves? Just asking.

[JennyDecimal]

@hyperseauton It's mime for the sight impaired.

[xTunafishx]

Webb: the under-appreciated and under-rated half of Mitchell and Webb.

[videogamenostalgia]

not really; He's more popular than you think. I'd say he's overrated. He's not as good an actor, he hasn't got as much personality, and he's terrible on panel shows.

[AndyUnwritten]

@xTunafishx He's the Hugh Laurie of the two.

[Alexispelling]

1:01 is that a moonwalk?

[E3tiger]

I'm so gonna learn this

[Rentonboyo]

lol, that mitchell and webb look is so funny

[jamietopp007]

lol, the convayour belt bit is by far the best... looks like the moonwalk lol

[TheHairofTime]

legend

[TehMangoMan]

remind me of wkuk, but I think these guys were around first.

[Loanratesofexistence]

I'm trying to find to find a particular Mitchell and Webb sketch but have no idea what it would be filed under. its like a kind of spoof documentary where Rob is being followed by cameras in his house and David does the voiceover. At the end of the show david says something like 'but i thought you liked spaghetti'. i know its a long shot but does anyone have any idea what im talking about???

[Raddzor]

That's from the mitchell and webb situation, I think it's episode 2 or 3. It's also ravioli, not spaghetti. :3

[Loanratesofexistence]

Cheers mate, I'm amazed anyone else knows what i'm talking about. Still can't find it on Youtube but ne'er mind.

[Raddzor]

No prob, I've been rewatching the series over the past few days.

[clbvideos]

i think theres the episode uploaded somewhere

[Ctina1994]

That's waaayyy better than the mimes you see on the street. xD

[RivaJane]

LOVED it! Great moonwalk!

And holy crap, David Mitchell has lost a ton of weight! Is that how he looks like now?

[bananya122cliff]

hes lost even more than that recently! If you watch his new David Mitchell's soapbox things he looks really slim :)

[ingyant]

I'm so glad they got rid of the canned laughter. It's amazing how much better something looks without it.

[TheHairofTime]

this was before the look

[30Galleons]

I love this show, but the other acting class sketch is better.

He goes on about opression, slavery and black consiousness. the other two start this poem and robert sings

"Oh baby tinkin' about your chocolate a boom ba a booay!" In a really bad jamaican accent. :P

[pearldiver78]

Love the 'shrinking room'.

[WheresMyDinner64]

i luv his arms whilst he says 'shrinking room'

[3LforLife]

rawr. im sleepy.

thanksSszsz OS

[RIPdementia]

Haha, that was brilliant. Personally though I think it would have been funnier if Webb hadn't said anything after his little performance, just kinda....let it hang...

[JeffUK]

yeah I kinda agree, but I suppose this particular character he is portraying is so ignorant of how crazy his actions are he doesn't notice the embarrassing silences.

[quoidanslemondequoi]

@RIPdementia Haha I hear you but I disagree, I thought that was spot-on with the character, and I like it. Especially the facial expression, like he's so impatient to know if he "got it." haha

[quoidanslemondequoi]

@RIPdementia Actually it could have worked either way, I just watched it again and it would have been funny your way too.

[beauch]

AWEsome... As a mime, I LOQed.

[smurfieboo]

webb is performance genius

[incekt]

Another comment which really says nothing about the clip and everything about my inability to critically analyze anything or understand basic principles of comedy. WAIT I MEANT LOL.

[lauradixon89]

I just love this clip, the way it gradually builds up to him and i love the shrinking room bit, mainly for the flailing arms!

love it XD

[BenjaminBattington]

"YES IT IS COOL."

LoL foreshaaadowing.

[mikeyisred]

GENIUS!

for some reason, the end reminds me of Legends Of The Hidden Temple.

[slothyslothsloth]

This was brilliant.

[zerosis]

Does anyone else just feel kinda dumbfounded until the sketch finishes, and at it's conclusion, break out in laughter?

[wingedserpant]

Yes. Mainly because how good he was at miming.

[imbo8w]

I like the moonwalk part

[shotgunjoe]

This is seriously like the best thing I've ever seen.

[un8luc8ky]

lol, i love the "shrinking room" mime =)

[xXxXxcozzaxXxXx]

haha !! 5 stars and taa 4 the upload

[Slapbass13]

Marvellous! Great sketch. Another great act, born of The Cambridge Footlights.

[Lostclassix]

Touche! Who said the art of riposte is dead?  Ask Lonelywreckage - he thinks it's funny. I didn't mention McCann - you did. Get out more? You're the one who actually reads what people write under TouTube clips to bait tragic Mitchell and Webb fans for a giggle. Your punctuation is appalling as well - I take it you didn't go to university like your heroes (and influencers of future actors and comedians). Lighten up.

[H20isbrill]

No because I am not yet old enough to go to university!

But I am infact following in my heroes footsteps because I am planning on going to footlights in cambridge!

And don't worry about my punctuation I think you should be more worried about the fact that you find child abduction funny. You are pathetic

[Lostclassix]

erm...thanks for this but i think theres been some crossed wires..did not post any comments on this page (Lostclassix)

[H20isbrill]

erm yh you did scroll down and you will find that you did indeed post some comments on this page

[Lostclassix]

yes that is my title but not my words am looking into it who did you originally reply to?

[H20isbrill]

I sent that to lonelywreckage18 and then you replyed to what I said

[duinex]

"Footlights" ? Fucking LOL.

[cheesycal]

yh its a drama club

[PatBateman87]

Don't watch it then...

[ViciousVenom]

And Oxford.. definate highlight

[finnigan00]

Agreed, Oxford is most definately a highlight

[peebob]

annnd belfast lmao!

[bonzaswillrule]

york as well....

[chrisgnu]

And London too :)

[loopyguard]

and peterborough; i dont live there, i went there coz its only 25 mins away

[smremde]

same in manchester

[mattheafey]

same in plymouth :D

[JeffUK]

Ah was one of my favourite parts about the live show. Back in stoke it was probably the loudest the whole theatre laughed.

[WakeyWakeyStarshine]

And Newcastle!

[LFSproductions]

same in tunbridge wells! the football speech was amazing too.

[SenorKristobbalVLog]

Probably the second biggest laugh in liverpool after the bit right at the start where they explain that woman died. Only because there was a technical problem and the start was delayed by an hour and they came out to explain the "f**k up" and then said "that was a real f**k up but now the show starts with a pretend f**k up this one is real the next one is pretend" then they left out of character and came back out in character looking all serious and dramatic and everyone was in hysterics!

[growmac]

Brilliant, includes the best 11 second sequence from the stage show!

[eclecticman]

yes... yes it does... it was the highlight of the live show for me as well...
