I don't know who got to this joke first but if you like the above sketch you should look at adambuxton's channel - there's a movie writing software tutorial video along exactly the same lines as the intro to this^^^ :)
No, see, you got the wrong Germany there. The WEST Germans were the Efficient ones and the EAST Germans were the Cheating ones. Not that it matters anymore because there is no East and West Germany anymore; it's all just Germany and they are all Efficient, not at all Cheaty.
@PanickyNine no I think he means they're known as cheats in the movies. you know the plucky underdogs beat the world renowned team who only got there by lying/cheating/kicking puppies so it's impossible for the audience to want to root for them.
@255ad You're in luck my friend. If you check out my channel, I actually have the first three seasons of 'That Mitchell and Webb Sound' uploaded. Along with a bunch of audiobooks. Check it out!
It usually irritates me when the underdog wins in movies. The other team is made up of hard working professionals who've been doing this all their lives, but they get beaten by a dysfunctional group of people relying on luck who just learned the name of the game the day before the final showdown? Ugh. And I'm not even remotely sporty >>
@Vannereveilar Rugby? American?! It's a British sport through and through, and if we're going for a "real man's" sport then surely Rugby is far manlier than Football. Baseball was invented in Britain by the way.
Is there a heart-warming film where the newbie team loses? I mean these types of films are usually based on true stories blown wide out of proportion because in real life it's the professionals that win after all...
@ANFTAMMI4EVER There's a South Park episode where that happens. I think it's the Pee Wee Ice Hockey one, where the plot twist at the end is that the other team have been having their own underdog story all along.
@ACDC1493 Nah, I think the joke is that whilst not many understand cricket true pretty much EVERYONE in this country knows enough to know that this is hilariously full of wrong. You don't even have to know anything about any sport to know how much wrong there is (West Germany? Steel mines?!). Lol. XD
Is this only funny if you actually LIKE the worst sport in the world (cricket)? I know absolutely fuck all about this awful sport, so all the references are going straight over my head. Cricket should be banned.
@92Horvath The fact that I've never had any desire to learn anything about it tells me that. I LOVE sport, but when I hear assholes go on about "wickets" and "overs" and the fact that the game seems to be based around a guy throwing a ball at a stupid little stump thing, and a guy with an OVERSIZED bat trying to hit it, and that's meant to be entertaining!? not to mention it takes a week to play ONE fucking game!!! It's like a slightly shitter baseball. Football all the way!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@tridantking Are you serious!? I know LOADS of people that LOVE sport, but strangely enough, they all LAUGH at how LAME cricket is! HONESTLY! It takes like a week to play a single game! Give me a break man! People say BASEBALL is boring! Haha, I'd rather play baseball any day of the week! I just don't see where the skill is - You are given an oversized bat, and you use that to deflect a ball that's thrown AT the bat anyway!? Plus, you have to wear GAY hats and padding!? Did a homo invent this?
@89Wrathchild you are a fucking moron, to say the least..of course padding is required you twonk, do you walk around with a broken shin/head/ribs for days on end? i doubt it, thats what would happen to all the batsmen if they DIDNT wear the pads!.....it takes 5 days to play a test, one day for t20 or ODI, so get your facts right befor you start bleating like the moronic sheep you are.......the bat is not oversized for trying to hit something thats hurtled at you at 90 mph..idiot
@tridantking I understand sport, I love it. I just don't see the point in this sport! Where's the "off-your-seat-hugging-the-nearest-person-to-you" After something awesome has happened!? Cricket is too drawn out, it's boring, it isn't spontaneous. You all may disagree with most of my points (fair enough) but AT LEAST agree with me that it isn't as exciting as a few other sports!
@89Wrathchild It may not be as immediate as other sports, but the tension and excitement is still definitely in cricket. The "off-your-seat-hugging-et-cetera" doesn't happen as much in cricket crowds because they are made up of rather different people to the standard set of hooligans - er, fans. The difference is akin to that between a classic psychological horror film and the movie adaptation of The A-Team; cricket is stately, other sports are shouty. I prefer cricket, but not everyone should.
@89Wrathchild I just can't agree with you there, my friend! And this isn't coming from someone who was raised on cricket from the time they were a wee tot. I was born in raised in Canada, and until one of my friends turned me on to the game (when I was 18) I knew absolutely nothing about it. Ever seen then I've been obsessed. It's a game where momentum can ebb and flow from a team, where one batsmen or bowler's performance can change the game in a teams favor. I'd take it over hockey any day.
@adraim69 I just don't get what the attraction to it is. When I think of Sport, I think of 100MPH, Adrenaline Rush, Sweat soaked mayhem. All of the aforementioned do not exist in Cricket. I just find it extremely boring
@89Wrathchild In that case you got to be the shittiest human being on earth! ts sad but true if u find cricket boring! which is the 2nd fucking most popular sport in the FUCKING WORLD!
@muscleman9299 hmmmm, and what, remind me, is the MOST popular sport in the world? Football? I think I would rather watch that. At least Football doesn't take a week to for ONE fucking match to start and finish!!!!
@89Wrathchild HAHA u are one thick cunt! there are many form of cricket! u get t20,ODI, 5 over cricket n test( which last 5 days! not a week) in cricket ppl dont sing songs to entertain themselves bcoz of the boredom u get unlike in soccer We go to watch the cricket coz the game is fun! they say that soccer is for pussies! aye they got that right! fukin wanker!
@89Wrathchild hahaha, yeah you've clearly never played Cricket. You want to talk about an adrenaline rush? Batsmen have to deal with deliveries that are hammered in to the pitch at 90 mph, only to shoot straight towards them, sometimes at chest or head height. If a batsmen is hit by a pitch, it's his own damn fault and as long as his arms and legs still work, he'll keep batting. The fielders don't wear any protective gear, and often have to catch/stop a ball travelling 90+ mph.
@89Wrathchild Actually, you're absolutely right. You've convinced myself along with everyone else who read your insightful comments that Cricket isn't actually exciting. But now I feel a gaping hole in my heart, What can I fill it with? You mentioned football earlier, maybe I can give that a whirl. That's the game where you get points for rolling around on the grass while wincing and holding your leg, right? And if you do that well enough, you can take your shirt off and hug a bunch of men?
@adraim69 I won't deny that there are some issues in football, but on the whole, it's a MUCH more exciting sport to play IN MY OPINION. If you recall, I merely started this RIDICULOUS argument to ascertain whether or not this is funny only to Cricket fans. I found this video PAINFULLY unfunny, despite the fact I enjoy the work of Mitchell and Webb. I'm obviously not going to convince any of you, so enjoy your crap fest
@89Wrathchild I get all that, but as long as you're hear badmouthing one of the most exciting sports in the world, I might as well have a go at your little dive and kick and run and kick and dive and run and kick and dive and draw fest. Cause the thing is, it's a really shitty sport and the only reason you like it is because you've been following it all your life. speaking as someone who followed neither Cricket nor Soccer, I can say confidently that soccer is rubbish and that you're retarded.
@89Wrathchild "I wont deny there are some issues in football" no shit, like it sucks to play and to watch? or the fact there are no real men in the sport?
@adraim69 and you deem people who play cricket as "real men"? people who wear shitloads of padding and helmets? Yeah, they're tough as old boots right enough.
@89Wrathchild Fuckin' eh the batsmen wear pads and a helmet. If they didn't all it could take is one ball they misplay at head height, and they might get retired. I got hammered flush on the helmet while I was batting, left me with a welt and bruise for a week. If I weren't wearing a helmet, it would have at least been a concussion, and at worst I could have died. Cricketers are fucking tough, Footballers are metropolitan douches who only know how to run around and pretend they're hurt.
@89Wrathchild I really wish you were a troll, but I get the feeling that's you're legitimately this retarded. Can I ask, who showed you how to use the internet? Cause I'm pretty sure you should be supervised while surfing. Could you get your mother to send me a PM? I have so many questions...
Oh wait, you're Scottish, right? so you're mother already died of a heart attack. Can I talk to your English caseworker, than?
@89Wrathchild well lets just think long and hard about which one of us retarded. So far, you've posted a comment about how Cricket sucks and didn't expect anyone to get annoyed. You've admitted your favorite sport is football. You don't understand Cricket but you still make critical statements about it. I think we can all agree that you're a retarded person. Go fry a mars bar, you fucking wanker.
@adraim69 mate this cunt is so thick! he wont get shit into that thick skull of his! a typical soccer wanker! cricket is the most growing popular sport in the world! and whoever fukin says cricket is boring is prolly sum fucking wanker aye :P sure soccer might be number 1 but its just FUCKING BORING! ALL FUCKIN TRANSEXUALS PLAY THE SHIT!
Haha - "There''s no such thing as a draw in cricket!"
This game gets declared a draw if it rains - even if it's already started.
That gives England an advantage when playing at home, as it always rains here, so England can be getting beat by a thousand runs after one inning - but then the rain turns a certain defeat into a draw!
Whereas in the West Indies or Australia, it hardly ever rains- so they don't benefit much from this stupid rule.
@jazzx251 - Whereas the West Indies (last time we played them) prepared 3 horrendously flat tracks where it was impossible to bowl a team out twice. And if you don't bowl a team out twice in five days, it's a draw.
Less rain = harder to take wickets. So it cuts both ways.
"We didn't know how to start. I guess we just started typing" - that's how I've, and I guess a lot of other people, managed to get through school and college :P
Actually, the cricket movie looks like the plot could have potential (If they had a catchier title and a bit more research about how to get into the game)
@badgerjozza That's the whole point! The whole sketch is based on the humorous idea of two guys making a film about cricket, even though they know nothing about cricket. What results is a cliche-ridden, hugely inaccurate movie ...
One day, I'd like to play in the Ashes for Germany... Might even grow a mullet for the occasion.

@89Wrathchild "I wont deny there are some issues in football" no shit, like it sucks to play and to watch? or the fact there are no real men in the sport?
adraim69 7 months ago
@adraim69 and you deem people who play cricket as "real men"? people who wear shitloads of padding and helmets? Yeah, they're tough as old boots right enough.
89Wrathchild 7 months ago
@89Wrathchild Fuckin' eh the batsmen wear pads and a helmet. If they didn't all it could take is one ball they misplay at head height, and they might get retired. I got hammered flush on the helmet while I was batting, left me with a welt and bruise for a week. If I weren't wearing a helmet, it would have at least been a concussion, and at worst I could have died. Cricketers are fucking tough, Footballers are metropolitan douches who only know how to run around and pretend they're hurt.

@89Wrathchild I really wish you were a troll, but I get the feeling that's you're legitimately this retarded. Can I ask, who showed you how to use the internet? Cause I'm pretty sure you should be supervised while surfing. Could you get your mother to send me a PM? I have so many questions...
Oh wait, you're Scottish, right? so you're mother already died of a heart attack. Can I talk to your English caseworker, than?

@adraim69 I think it is YOU who is the retard. I didn't come here to annoy people, I came here because I enjoy the work of Mitchell and Webb.

@89Wrathchild well lets just think long and hard about which one of us retarded. So far, you've posted a comment about how Cricket sucks and didn't expect anyone to get annoyed. You've admitted your favorite sport is football. You don't understand Cricket but you still make critical statements about it. I think we can all agree that you're a retarded person. Go fry a mars bar, you fucking wanker.

Haha - "There''s no such thing as a draw in cricket!"
This game gets declared a draw if it rains - even if it's already started.
That gives England an advantage when playing at home, as it always rains here, so England can be getting beat by a thousand runs after one inning - but then the rain turns a certain defeat into a draw!
Whereas in the West Indies or Australia, it hardly ever rains- so they don't benefit much from this stupid rule.

@jazzx251 - Whereas the West Indies (last time we played them) prepared 3 horrendously flat tracks where it was impossible to bowl a team out twice. And if you don't bowl a team out twice in five days, it's a draw.
Less rain = harder to take wickets. So it cuts both ways.

Actually, the cricket movie looks like the plot could have potential (If they had a catchier title and a bit more research about how to get into the game)

@badgerjozza That's the whole point! The whole sketch is based on the humorous idea of two guys making a film about cricket, even though they know nothing about cricket. What results is a cliche-ridden, hugely inaccurate movie ...
