"I'm trying to make you see that the world isn't pleased to see you, you aren't needed or included, or loved. You're ugly, and superfluous and ignorant, and you should be frightened and meek and grateful." So many people in my life I'd love to say that to!!
@The666thBowelOfHell Look, it's funny and a great sketch. To say he's "spot on" is to basically say that it's OK to judge people by the way they dress, and reinforce stereotypes of class that we did away with ages ago.
@adi87tya What? maybe you are misunderstanding something here, in no way was my comment to "Judge" someone by the way they dress and "reinforce stereotypes of class" I was saying his acting of an aristocratic being was played very well
@adi87tya Well it is spot on in capturing precisely that stereotype. Also, I think there is a nugget of truth to Mitchell's satire. There are a number of self important douchebags running around who could use a lesson in fear and humility. Though you may well disagree with me on this
This speech/scene runs through my head every time I see someone dressed in the latest "fashions" who's sense of style could only be described as "current" if you were feeling generous.
"I'm trying to make you know that the world isn't pleased to see you. You aren't needed or included, or loved; you're ugly, and superfluous, and ignorant, and you should frightened, and meek, and grateful." -I more than suspect David Mitchell actually holds something like this view.
It'd really shop at that shop. I love aristocratic people, they're usually the friendliest with the best standards, if you behave normally and respectfully.

there are so many people who need to hear this, the amount of people who go around just thinking that they are social gods that don't have to think about how they act and the things they say
Apprently Messers Webb and Mitchell are considered vaguely Satanic and threatening to the religious status quo,as (at least in the States) the promoted video is...And I'm a mormon...or is that marmot?
@Civix1320 In all of the smaller towns in England; especially in the South. It is an ancient British law that all small towns with at least one church and 8 pubs (not bars or family restaurants or bistros...pubs; mind you) have a small gentlemens' outfitters staffed with one proprietor (of aristocratic lineage fallen on hard times due to his grandfather's homosexuality) and no more than two assistants with rods inserted anally for fortitude and bearing. Tweed is to dominate the stock.
I don't understand why David Mitchell isn't more important in thsi country than a mere comedian when he could give the MPs a good caning and sort this country out.
There is a truth to this (more than one as it brilliant). So many people make demands of clothes attendents and end up looking shit. I personally prefer to be polite, tell them what I want, then trust their expertiese. If they don't know anything about clothes then I go elsewhere.
I like the bit where the incredibly posh shop assistant's left eye twitches as he remonstrates with the customer. Reminiscent of Herbert Lom in "Pink Panther" series of films.
it should be precluded that i am in my right mind and fully capable to decide what i need however ling it takes. so......shove away your pre-conceived, ignorant and concept misguided norms or fears and insecurities.
...............so why dont you sales assistants, STFU, and regard my intelligence. My actions should be self explanatory, i wouldnt wonder into a clothing store, when perhaps what i needed was some biscuits for lunch or a gas cooker for my newly bought rice sack. And even if i were smart enough to wonder in to your shop,.......................
''can i help you sir?'' whats with that remark you get whenever you go into shops. Fucking assholes! it not only undermines a customer's self worth and esteem, but shits in the face of independence judgment and voluntarism ..................
@keeperofthecheese yeah i guess i do...the slackness of people is annoying but he maybe overstates his position slightly...afterall the customer is always right...even if they are all a bunch of wankers.
My philosophy when shopping is this: buy something you'd be willing to wear twice a week for 3-5 years.
You shouldn't have to go shopping more than once or twice a year. If you have to spend $100 on a pair of pants that you'll absolutely love, then so be it. I generally just look for a brand name and then have an experienced salesperson help me out. When buying suits tailoring is a must - once you've worn tailored you don't go back.
@keeperofthecheese its not the shop keepers but advertisement, they first try to make you feel bad about you not belonging to that group so they can sell their stuff
@keeperofthecheese especially when you go to a function of some sort and see so many people dressed as if they were on the beach in Ibiza. Standards have fallen so far now and they seem to be continuing to fall. Sad.
@keeperofthecheese I wouldn't say "agree with it", so much as really liking this guy despite his rather brash nature. Like, most people who might try to get so in-your-face would just end up looking like assholes that you'd want nothing to do with, but this guy really pulls it off in a way that draws you in to wanting to hear what he has to say.
"The world isn't pleased to see you. You're not needed, or included, or loved. You're ugly and superfluous and ignorant and you should be frightened and meek and grateful."
So much truth Should be told to everyone, every day.
@firenze419 Also has powerful echoes of Fight Club, don't you think? "You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."
@firenze419 The inherent irony is of course that back when things WERE like that the world was a lot more unpleasant for all of us, even though it's fun to wish that on others, especially metro-sexual, itool-loving wankers... More people should wear hats though!
@firenze419 I took a totally different view on this... ridiculing shopkeepers who behave in this rude sort of way, and thus throw money away. Which I have encountered...
@JoelJoel321 That's because you mistakenly believe that you are worth something, which you aren't. Nobody loves you or has any desire to encounter you in any way. Coming into my shop is the worst mistake you've ever made; now accept your failings or get out.
Not really. I'd assume that there were fewer masochists in the world, but judging by the amount of thumbs you've gotten, I'd be incorrect. Still, being sycophantic towards a sadistic shopkeeper (typically a member of the servile social stratum) would probably get quite dull, allowing their competitors to flourish. Then there's the fact that for many people life is short and brutish. We're privileged to be able to waste time commenting on youtube. Enjoy the capacity to laugh now.
@mastermaddison - The only thing I don't like about it is that it's practically identical to the vicar and waiter sketches. I just think it's a bit lazy recycling the same joke, funny though that joke is.
@PuissantAlgernon Ah. I see. But then isn't that the point?!? I mean all comedy shows, in some way, repeat stuff (only with a slight change). Little Britain did it, Catherine tate did, Horne and Corden did it. I see what you mean though, but this is the funiest of all of this joke. Mind you, the vicar is good!lol.
@mastermaddison -The ultimate sketch show, Monty Python's Flying Circus managed without repeating the joke, Pete Cook and Dudley Moore did too! Even Fry And Laurie only had a couple of running gags. The constant repetition ruins most modern comedy shows, in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with re-using a setting, but when the punchline's the same it becomes a proverbial 'old chestnut' very rapidly.
M & W do do much better than Little Britain and Catherine Tate though, I grant you.
@PuissantAlgernon Aye, fair enough. I just feel a wee bit defensive bout both mitchell and webb AND i love this sketch! But i think you're right. I just love the attitude of David Mitchell in this sketch! :)
I've seen you recite every fucking line in the comments, I've seen you make the entire fucking sketch unfunny by repeating the whole thing with 'haaaahahaha omg funniestt shit evarrr!1!!!1'. Now fuck off, you irritating little cunt.
"I've seen you in here before. I've seen you slouching around the place in your slip-on shoes and motorcycle jacket, looking like a mechanic who's just won the pools. I've seen you, with you tin earring and black marketeer swagger. We've all seen you and we all thought you were a TURD. Now do you wish to look smart, or do you want to leave this place as you entered it, looking like a slack-jawed spiv?"
Funniest thing about this sketch is that it's true. Standards have slipped down the shitter.
This sketch has ruined/improved shopping for me. Everytime I look at a Burton or Primark suit and see the reflection in the light I shudder. Now I'm saving up for a real tailored piece of English elegance. Til then its sackcloth and string.
@DanDelAwesome Absolutely but then I watch more UK programming than anything. I've loved these guys from the very first Peep Show I saw. But then I like the League of Gentleman; The Fast Show (aka Brilliant here in the States);I liked Men Behaving Badly,Father Ted-perhaps watching Python as a kid warped me out & I can only appreciate truly out there stuff.
@DanDelAwesome Yeah, British humor is appreciated by Americans... we might not get every single expression all the time, but well executed humor such as Mitchell and Webb and the classics of Monty Python do translate well here in America.
Contrary to stereotypes, us "colonials" are capable of intellectual stimulation. We did place a man on the moon after all, and invent the nuclear bomb, the light bulb, etc, etc. Most of us are not fat hillbillies out in the woods.
@osallent It wasn't a prejudice thing. I know that there are plenty US nuances that I don't get and incidentally while the US funded the atom bomb, Einstein was Austrian, like Hitler... bad example of an Austrian but it's the only one that came to mind. I don't know much about Austria. Since WWII it's seemed somewhat neutral in international affairs but I am quite sure they have been close to the front lines concerning environmental stability. In my defense. Most BRITS are not BNP upperclassmen.
@osallent actually the lightbulb was invented at the same time by both you and us, only the british man was "frightened and meek and grateful" so he let your guy take the credit. and the a-bomb was designed and/or built by people with surnames like: Block, Bohm, Bohr, Fermi, Franck, Frisch, Fuchs, Peierls, Segre, Szilard, Teller and Wigner, which don't sound very american to me. the moon thing was pretty good but since then you've run out of steam, the ISS is good but we need FTL tech and fast.
I cannot believe that I've only just started watching this show!! At least it means I've got a lot of episodes to look forward to :D

@mastermaddison - The only thing I don't like about it is that it's practically identical to the vicar and waiter sketches. I just think it's a bit lazy recycling the same joke, funny though that joke is.

@PuissantAlgernon Ah. I see. But then isn't that the point?!? I mean all comedy shows, in some way, repeat stuff (only with a slight change). Little Britain did it, Catherine tate did, Horne and Corden did it. I see what you mean though, but this is the funiest of all of this joke. Mind you, the vicar is good!lol.

@mastermaddison -The ultimate sketch show, Monty Python's Flying Circus managed without repeating the joke, Pete Cook and Dudley Moore did too! Even Fry And Laurie only had a couple of running gags. The constant repetition ruins most modern comedy shows, in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with re-using a setting, but when the punchline's the same it becomes a proverbial 'old chestnut' very rapidly.
M & W do do much better than Little Britain and Catherine Tate though, I grant you.

@PuissantAlgernon Aye, fair enough. I just feel a wee bit defensive bout both mitchell and webb AND i love this sketch! But i think you're right. I just love the attitude of David Mitchell in this sketch! :)

@mastermaddison - Absolutely, it's a brilliant sketch, per se. :D

I've seen you recite every fucking line in the comments, I've seen you make the entire fucking sketch unfunny by repeating the whole thing with 'haaaahahaha omg funniestt shit evarrr!1!!!1'. Now fuck off, you irritating little cunt.

"I've seen you in here before. I've seen you slouching around the place in your slip-on shoes and motorcycle jacket, looking like a mechanic who's just won the pools. I've seen you, with you tin earring and black marketeer swagger. We've all seen you and we all thought you were a TURD. Now do you wish to look smart, or do you want to leave this place as you entered it, looking like a slack-jawed spiv?"
Funniest thing about this sketch is that it's true. Standards have slipped down the shitter.

This sketch has ruined/improved shopping for me. Everytime I look at a Burton or Primark suit and see the reflection in the light I shudder. Now I'm saving up for a real tailored piece of English elegance. Til then its sackcloth and string.

@johnnyreb132 Cool! I find a lot of humor worldwide doesn't translate but Mitchell and Webb are truly kings of man lol

@DanDelAwesome Absolutely but then I watch more UK programming than anything. I've loved these guys from the very first Peep Show I saw. But then I like the League of Gentleman; The Fast Show (aka Brilliant here in the States);I liked Men Behaving Badly,Father Ted-perhaps watching Python as a kid warped me out & I can only appreciate truly out there stuff.

@arklebunrabbit If you like that sort of stuff there's this fantastic stand up comic named Jack Dee. He kicks ass.

@DanDelAwesome I get it as well. The nuances are different, but we've got the same types of people here in the Colonies.

@DanDelAwesome Yeah, British humor is appreciated by Americans... we might not get every single expression all the time, but well executed humor such as Mitchell and Webb and the classics of Monty Python do translate well here in America.
Contrary to stereotypes, us "colonials" are capable of intellectual stimulation. We did place a man on the moon after all, and invent the nuclear bomb, the light bulb, etc, etc. Most of us are not fat hillbillies out in the woods.

@osallent It wasn't a prejudice thing. I know that there are plenty US nuances that I don't get and incidentally while the US funded the atom bomb, Einstein was Austrian, like Hitler... bad example of an Austrian but it's the only one that came to mind. I don't know much about Austria. Since WWII it's seemed somewhat neutral in international affairs but I am quite sure they have been close to the front lines concerning environmental stability. In my defense. Most BRITS are not BNP upperclassmen.

@osallent Yeah, because inventing the nuclear bomb is something to shout about...

@vexred well, isn't it?
osallent 1 year ago
@osallent actually the lightbulb was invented at the same time by both you and us, only the british man was "frightened and meek and grateful" so he let your guy take the credit. and the a-bomb was designed and/or built by people with surnames like: Block, Bohm, Bohr, Fermi, Franck, Frisch, Fuchs, Peierls, Segre, Szilard, Teller and Wigner, which don't sound very american to me. the moon thing was pretty good but since then you've run out of steam, the ISS is good but we need FTL tech and fast.
