This Mitchell & Webb Book, part 1

[Smithpolly]

The curse of having too much choices.

[MrBuch169169]

All right, not this, obviously not this, but- what if it's Jaws?

[aModernDandy]

Ah the historian in mitchell coming out there in the Kohl bit :D

[Tomzworthy]

I managed to get the book at a bargain book shop for a just few pounds (marked down from 18.99) I want a refund! Where's the funny bit? Harry hills joke book failed too. I'm starting to see why the nazis burned books.

[1100ema1100]

its a fantastic book!!!

i definitely recommend it :)

[dannyjmeh2]

read some of that this morning! brilliant book!

[Antinationalism]

I read it in a book shop liked the bit with the pole commentator and his wife in some "News of the world" reportage=)

[gwilberto]

really want it

[WKaliberr]

i was thinking of buying the book

what is it actually about?

[LRMMcDonnell]

I got it today and I've read just the 1st page and it's hilarious. can't really say what it's about but i can assure you it's funny!

[aModernDandy]

@LRMMcDonnell wait - the first page? the one that only say "fifth estate"? ;)

But I agree it's a very funny book.

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

It's weird because when they said what sounded like "coal", I actually thought of the German Helmut Kohl, because of David and this running gag of him being Hitler.

[Creepybuttercup]

@DontTouchMyVicodin yes but helmut kohl doesn´t have anything to do with hitler, so...

[19nimrod93]

1.30 - I actually googled it. The answer is yes.

[Sharon4192]

I love these guys lots! LOLXX

[sossers99]

love these two

[SquirtOutADump]

No its not.

[Sereh182]

i realize that now

[Davidboskett]

Yeah, that's their TV show. This is a book they've made...

[phytoalexa]

When and on what channel was this aired?

[DefinitelySurely]

It just goes to show you can't be too careful.

[fsm83]

one

[fsm83]

one

[hazahaxa]

"It's not for Comic Relief is it?"

"No it's for money."

LMAO!!

[TheDonBurroni]

they are only funny when they dont write

[123456yum123456]

What do you mean? They write That Mitchell and Webb Look, which is the best sketch show ever!

[CUNfTucker]

my point was : welsh gay bbc : earn millions of licence payers tax.

[youtoobisshite]

your point was : stupidly written : shit and unclear

[CUNfTucker]

your profound use of the string 'shit' denotes sodomaniac tendencies. gay boy

[youtoobisshite]

er, I think you'll find that youtube put them in for me. and I ain't a boy to even be a gay boy.

[immortalharneil]

if its 17 hours later---shouldn't it be dark outside the window then?

[malango255]

not if it's summer and they were quite north.

[shanario]

dont shatter my reality!!

[shanario]

no, iv worked it out. phew.

we start at 1pm

then

we come back at 5pm

then

we come back at 10am!

see, perfectly logical

[kpotassium]

short answer... no.

[TheGeorgeb93]

i know hes not, they were just talkin about him before futher down the page!!

[CUNfTucker]

is the straight one welsh?

[jimguitarman27]

there are both straight :S

[TheGeorgeb93]

ricky gervais is well funny espechially as david brent in the office!!

[Bud5727]

ricky gervais isnt even in this video.

[Argospens]

What??

[TheGeorgeb93]

i think these 2 are funny but i dont think the mitchall and webb look is that funny really peep show is much better!!

[olliej83]

there shit ..

[stonerodger]

Where?

lol. Spell things! lol.

[MrNeofloyd]

he use to do Impresions.

[drangonslayer09]

these 2 are shite! dont get it at all and im a huge comedy fan and have tryed to get into it but just dnt see whats funny, same as the mighty boosh, load ov toss

[funkyewan]

Nipples?

[mushroomchrisn]

orangeambience you just like the look of your own typing (had the change the expression there to make it fit =p) so even if no one was reading what you were typing you would go ahead and type it anywa. besides , i dont know how you will know whether or not someone is reading what you typed .

[phonemenace]

nice one!

[oli696969]

yes you cunt

[Mlc0092412]

Yes

[KANETREADWELL]

yes

[areetimdan]

very easily

[lozcroft]

I do hope that this is automated...

[sionswansea]

i liek it when they done the french bloke and evil noise

[kosovanwhizkid]

i love this show.....hilarious

[ovavoo]

i have not come here on purpose to leave a negative comment, but wanted to try and find them funny...they are just not, webb has something naturally funny about him..but mitchel arghhh he has the most irratating nasaly(spell check that) voice i have ever heard and he does the same thing on all game shows just rants on into nothing...sorry guys.....partridge...office...­..you cant beat them

[hatstalker]

david mitchel is so funny watch him on QI and have i got news for you how can u not find his rants amuzing

[ovavoo]

I have....just don;t find him funny, i suppose its each to their own. I prefer to like naturally funny comedians such as, tommy cooper, harry hill, jim carey, rich hall....but david mitchel i find him very dogmatic too

[biffolot]

Watch him on 'Would i lie to you' as well.. He's a team captain opposite lee mack and he does the funnnnniest rants on that... do it! :)

[sert150]

Well...I won't be buying it.

[mjohnston1990]

mitchell and webb rule!!!! some people might not like them but i love the way the play off each other really well and they make me laugh, in my eyes they are one of the best double acts on tv at the moment

[Lucifer986]

these guy are limited in there acting. terrible sitcoms pure trash shame uk comic scene has gone downhill with trash like this and alan carr

[Kirbylikestoblaze]

Their sketch shows werent the best, but are you calling peep show pure trash?

[Lucifer986]

peep show was overated. know days if something is abstract or contains odd or dark humaoure its considered as good . the standard by which we measure films,tv,music is entirely artificial its like everyone is a sheep,

[Kirbylikestoblaze]

I think it's hard to say that since its pretty much always been the case. If you didn't like peep show it doesnt mean it's overrated, and, clever humour or not, I do think it's one of the funniest shows that's been around recently.

What would you consider as good?

[Lucifer986]

what i mean is the jokes appeal more to white yuppies. plus there acting in mitchel and webb, peep show and in real-life they are the same person suggesting thiere not acting at all, thieres no talent no versatility just two guys being themselves thats not called acting. for example baron cohen came with ali g then borat and he was entirely different in Sweeney todd the film showing his talent

[HugsNotDrugsx]

you dont actually have to have a character to be a talented comedian.

[Lucifer986]

you have to be able to act and be funny even if its not conventiol funny these guys imo fail in all departments , the only reason so many sheep liike them is they are heavily marketed by channel 4 and bbc and general media

[LITTLEUNDERPANTS]

God , you really are a thick cunt.

[livebenrules2]

and thats why they win baftas and get nomanated for best comady actor ect

[Lucifer986]

sice when did CORPORATE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AWARDS EVER DEMONSTRATE TRUE TALENT LOL . for example slum dog won oscer what a joke just goes to show that these awards are nothing but stunts. if you want to be a sheep and follow the shepherd go ahead i rather allow my own reasoning to determine what i think to be good.

[GovermentG]

wtf is up wid yur name? you a lucifarian?

[lollerskate22]

Lucifer986 is clearly just a fucking moron who thinks he is being cool by trying to be different. Yeh mainstream media sucks! nonconformity rulezzz!!! Seriously, get a fucking life.

[HugsNotDrugsx]

Well, just because your opinion is in the minority, doesnt automatically make anyone who's comedic tastes are popular comedy a 'sheep'.

[livebenrules2]

well all i know is that you have the majoraty of people against you :)

[rainbowtoesocks]

Majority.

[livebenrules2]

shhh, sorry

[rainbowtoesocks]

ahah

[godlypvp]

@lucifer986-complete tosser:)

[MisspentYouthBlog]

Wow man ur so deep, u must really understand everything in a way that none of us cretins could ever hope to....

[jgbreezer]

Well baaaaaaaaa to you. I like a lot of their stuff. Not everything, some jokes fall flat for me or are just too silly without enough solidity behind them, but I feel I can empathise with David a bit and the SS sketch as well as many others are brilliant.

[ThePancakeBandit1]

Peep Show is the funniest thing around.

[lollymc90210]

you're a dick, i'd like to see you do better. everyone has their own opinion but mitchell and webb aren't trash!!!!

[Lucifer986]

'i'd like to see you do better" useof ad hodnic to counter my view goes to show how weak you comment was lol. rickygervaise know thieres a rela comedian

[lollymc90210]

ricky gervais is MUCH more hit and miss than mitchell and webb.

[mangojuise]

they r shittttttttttttttttttttttttttt­ttttttttttttttt i think they r borring

[poeticfreak123]

lmfao!

I want to click it :p

[essexboy240]

pretty shit for them, they're much better scripted

[IzzyAllstar]

i love them <3

[giovanicanzona]

are they welch

[CrazyGuernseyAli]

no they're not

[mikeyboddington]

mitchell and webb football is hilarious

[neilss1]

so true aswell

[Dungarth]

These 2 are Comedic Genius, you can stuff your American garbage Comedy, it doesn't get anything better than classic British upper-mmiddle class wit.

[RockyBiscuits]

Woop. I'm English too....GO ENGLAND :D

[deltaunit38]

wooooooooooooo

[nickwantsmorepancake]

i always thought peep show should be called the mitchel and webb look cos it life through there eyes so its what there looking at and that mitchel and webb look should have been called peep show.

[SCXBAYBEE123]

Peep Show isn't written by David and Rob, it's written by two fantastic comedy writers, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, however, That Mitchell & Webb Look IS written by D & R, so that is more their own thing. =] x

[nags2bitches]

And thats why peep Show is brilliant and the other isn't :-)

Good actors, but not good comedians.

[orangeambience]

there pretty shit actors they have good jokes but there not convincing at all. . .. which means good comedians but shit acting

[greatorderofchaos]

damn right

[joemclean90]

Someone obviously hasnt seen 'peep show', this first big thing....which was acted.

[orangeambience]

yes but then after that they werent as succseful cas ppl realised when they did the mtichell and webb show it was exactly the same as peep show because there not good actors they can only play those characters no matter what they do but they always have good ideas for jokes

[joemclean90]

can you rephrase that? yuoure making very little sense..

[Lexclamation]

I hope you die in a shit storm.

[siwelssolb]

go away

[orangeambience]

you can make that happen by not reading my comments . . its almost like magic. . . .almost. . . .

[siwelssolb]

Interesting Theory, Mr. Ambience. Did you consider that had i somehow known the pointless and stupid content of the comment BEFORE i read it, i would have followed your advice?

[orangeambience]

If you really needed me to tell you to not read it then your a fool, and ill bet you've read this one. you'll never learn.

[schmackerel]

you can make that happen by downrating his posts.

[NocturnalSpamMachine]

orangeambience, and you can? To not be hypocritical, you should by now be able to pull of a successful comedy sketch-show.

If not, your words are empty.

[orangeambience]

So the target audience and the reason this show is made has no say in whether or not its good? think about what your saying

[touchdownturnaround7]

PEEP Show.

THAT Mitchell and Webb LOOK.

Not a 'the' in sight.

[lollymc90210]

what comedians are good actors? if they were all good actors then they wouldnt be comdians would they dumbass?

[orangeambience]

Comedy is an act you titwank even stand up comedians are putting on a persona if they just stood there and told the jokes one after the other with no emotion or expression it would be shit. good actor comedians : Ricky gervais Seth rogan Bill bailey Dylan moran Jim carey Robin williams Rob schneider Chris rock Mike myers to name a few. . . .do you even know what a comedian is?

[gregjohnston1992]

to be fair most of those are either poor actors or poor comdians XD

[barrythemoth]

Robin Williams? EPIC FAIL

[warton101]

there brits you would know are humour

[barrythemoth]

sorry i don't understand your comment, perhaps try explaining what you mean like a grown-up.

[orangeambience]

but he isn't . . .hes a success with lots ofm oney and movies to his name and several stand up acts. . .. its personal opinion whether you think hes funny or not but the fact is he is very successful . .. the internet is full of buffoons you being one of them

[drangonslayer09]

you have a list of good comedians or good actors. gervais is david brent in everythin, so not a good actor. nobody on this list is good at both, chris rock?!? he cant tell a joke without moanin about white people, shit! seth rogan great actor but stand up is piss poor

[orangeambience]

Jim carey became famosu through his stand up and went on to bigger success through movies

in the office david brent is a naive social retard

in extras hes quite clever he just has shit luck. my point being that they are all succseful at both... . .and your personal opinion of wether you like there stand up or movies doesent change tht if 1 million ppl thought like you then yes ,. , , ,but 1 million ppl think the opposite

[lollymc90210]

Jim carey IS AN ACTOR!!!!!

[orangeambience]

he broke through with the jim carey show doing standup you complete buffoon

[lollymc90210]

That's beside the point. Anyway if these guys 'can't act' then why would they have so many series of the Mitchell and Webb look and Peep Show? Comedy is abot personal tastes anyway. I hate ricky gervais, you dont like these guys. potato potarrto etc...

[Makkasu0]

/care?

[bibekd]

'You could say its for comic relief ... its not for comic relief is it'

'No its for money, for us, yes'

[EBOWARRIOR]

i am hoping they do another peep show, that was fucked up lol and one of the funnist shows i have ever seen.

[SCXBAYBEE123]

Series 6 is on in the Autumn. =]

[johnisfun]

yeah peep show is the best ever... mitchell and webb sketches don't do it for me at all

[DKLabRat]

LOL - I love these two. Love the misunderstanding about coal.

[neverbeen2]

they piss all over little britain :)

[angelicMisha]

Oh fuck yeah :D

[llowrida]

little britian is gay

[thefrequencykenneth]

Yeah I know....

[SirKnobofCheese]

"Films you wish you'd never been in"

(the making of Confetti)

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

surely that means they'd been working non-stop for 17 hours.

[xxTakeAChanceOnMe]

i was just thinking that. they must have started at like 3pm the previous day. they'd be exhausted...and they'd need to shave.

[1gnatius3000]

I dont understand how this is supposed to prepare you for iminent Ninja attack???

[BobbyDuwitz]

It's not for comic relief is it?

No no, it's for the money.

[Eddie4518]

i didnt get it!

[Pyroface247]

This is so french and saunders...love these guys

[KnockedForSix]

"That's not the coal i was thinking of..." Brilliant.

[MrBennHundred]

What about a book on the social history of bifocals? There's plenty on the history of bifocals, history of glasses and lens history but they all fail to mention the pertinent point of bifocal impact on life since 1785

[The1stPoster]

This is exactly how I do my homework.

Or rather, not do it.

[crayoh]

I'm so excited for this book!!!

[iAmTheCoon]

Is there actually going to be a Mitchell and Webb book?

[BeautyofScience92]

I like the subtle joke after they mention "Guide to 20th Century dictators".

Robert says, "Yeah that's funny isn't it, it's funny", while David says, "Yes that's Yes Pile, it's very exciting"

[pipalips]

they're so wicked, but robert webb should do more

[ghtygh2001]

They are credited with 'additional material' meaning that they add bits and pieces but Armstrong and Bain write the main script.

[chimpjoubsmoo]

These two are HILARIOUS. I love them. David Mitchell is like a clone of my brother...well.

[SCXBAYBEE123]

Is there any chance I could meet your brother? ;)

[demonology1]

so 4 hours later then 17 hours later, and its nearly lunch and light at all times

just annoys me a bit but still love these guys

[djorcks95]

yeah but night could have come and gone

[demonology1]

lol i worked it out in my head and thought it was kinda improbably about the colour outside. i go into too much depth about useless things, and yeah ur prly right :D

[scottyj141]

The "nearly lunch time" was a gag as they had spent so long doing bugger all!!

[Dohnut93]

I have a friend who is like David Mitchell, It's awesome :D

I think I prefer Mitchell and Webb look to Peep Show though. You can't beat 'Numberwang!'
