The Armando Iannucci Shows - Flight simulator of death

[RaspyPaspy]

Fantastic! I agree with whoever said this clip is more moving than funny. Can anybody tell me both the songs on this clip? I know the second is Henryk Gorecki but which recording is it? And which is the first clip too? Thanks a lot

[ImmanuelKunt1993]

Was that Richard Herring running the flight simulator? I wondered what he was doing these days.

Why are the BBC shows so much better than the crap we have here in the states?

[dogmunch]

we like a bit of darkness

"this woman had always wanted to lose half a stone, and started eating lots of salad"

[Oscar301]

have you realised that up to half of your life has been completely pointless too?

[OUTLANDEMPIRE]

the most sickening ride in Britain

[PirozsMom]

LOL, the man is laughing outside the simulator as it starts crashing, at 0:49

[nicemandan]

Nasty looking melanoma on that sun tan!

[icecreamscuseme]

I found this to be more beautiful than hilarious. This man is utterly brilliant. :)

[ukulazy]

for some reason I thought this clip was longer... doesn't he imagine what it would be like if the man hadn't "stopped the ride before impact". sure that's on the dvd :/

" I thought about the time spent looking at rabbits in a large muncipal zoo ".I love the way you can see the tiger in the background.

''This boy was traumatized forever.''

[Simonlovesit]

can anyone tell me the name of the piece of music used whent he plane starts to crash?

[scottoforan]

Hi Simon, I'm pretty sure this music is an extract from Henryk Gorecki's Symphony no. 3, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Coincidentally I was listening to part of it during my morning commute today.

[Simonlovesit]

can anyone PLEASE tell me the name of the piece of music used when the plane starts to fall?

[Oli3TB76]

im crying, simply hilarious

[yurt5]

cracking stuff!  even at a wake!!

[planefreak6]

Lol very funny

[Tonedefdom]

A nine mile tetraheadron round dunfrise. I know what paddy means, some people dont have the circuitry linking these ideas to the humour part of their brain. All wires go to confusion.

[Mushman34]

Dumfries. It's where I'm from. I found it utterly hilarious.

[CrinkleCutBeatroot]

@Mushman34 me too! I walked around Dumfries late one night to get home to lockerbie, after being jumped by some neds down on the sands haha

[PhantomHoover]

@Tonedefdom It's "Dumfries".

[paddyrafferty]

Brilliant! Armando is the funniest man alive. Only comedy he's involved in has the capacity to make me make a dick out of myself by calling people over to the laptop to show them clips like this which I know they won't understand or be in the mood for, especially as we were having a wake.
