That Mitchell and Webb Look - Padlockigami

[BraninT]

Is that Jar Jar?

[MrJony93]

Only bad one I've seen from the show

[fhqwgads2]

This guy has as much talent as the Welsh language has vowels...

[totalgeeta]

All you need, manwaddle methyl glachben wach bell from a store or smith. Alloweth branny bran mowee show you first, sann bennyweth, the swan!

[totalgeeta]

@totalgeeta Is this really welsh?

[humand1saster]

This made me laugh so hard, I've no idea why!

[Mirrorboy17]

I keep trying to do the Swan, and I just can't manage to get it right.

[fhqwgads2]

@Mirrorboy17

Try the dolphin first, it's an easier pattern... If you know how to use a MAPP-Oxy torch.

[calvinANNDhobbes326]

turn on transcribe audio :)

[xyaqua]

FYI this is absolutely nothing like Welsh...  except for the sense of humor!!!

[xyaqua]

ethylfan

[millsy1804]

Lmao this is great

[EliGibsonCairns]

The color palette of this set is perfect.



[The505Guys]

Somtimes I switch on the Welsh speaking TV channe on Sky, I can't remember it's exact name, and the programs are literally like this, it makes your head melt!

[ADxWales81]

9 people brambawi couldnt fold bennyweth a swan

[Walesftw]

genuinely brilliant. " there is his coussiiinnsss " .

[burr5836]

It's worrying that his pronounciation is better than most people I know who try to speak Welsh

[Nightcreature12]

@burr5836 any who can pronounce Welsh to at least this level makes it sound like the beautiful language it is, even if they are just spouting random gibberish.

[bareakon]

James is a pretty good guitarist

[ChezzyKnytt]

That's actually quite a cool metaphor, it's like symbolising the swan is a free bird

[ApocalypticCarnage13]

This guy is so much better than martha stewart

[LaviniaVeiled]

Frankly, regional TV here in the States is just as ridiculous...too cute!

[MoofinatorLauratron]

always wondered what Pobol Y Cwm was like :p

[Alathaea]

Yeah, this is exactly what Welsh regional TV is like, I'm not even joking. It's mind-numbing.

[emzigga]

1:49

Picking randa frond, ah.

[yju135]

1:48

[emzigga]

@yju135 Lol,

[retteretter]

LMAO he sounds like the nigerian voice from fonejacker at 'see, there are his cousins'

[Padlockigami]

I am glad they finally took notice of me!

[nicechewi]

why didn't they continue padlockigami? are you being serious? LOL

[ShortySOM]

I hope you had a safe whhheek

[AngusTheWolf]

am i drugs?

[MrSporkster]

All Welsh TV is exactly like this. It's so accurate, it's not even a parody!

:O

[auaaron11]

just to be a complete tosser, it should be ori-padlock

[wimpylassiter2336]

he sounds like a welsh robert robinson.

[TheRaulip]

im welsh and i just find the jibberish and accent fricking hilarious

[SkydinZeal]

I so love this sketch.

[BraceletAccumulatrT2]

Love bachmans little nod at the end...

[xyaqua]

ethylfan

jam



[eiresmif35]

I wish this was a recurring sketch

[xyaqua]

Jam!

[xyaqua]

This is Python. One cannot bestow a higher accolade.

[Hedghog6666]

you sure it's not meant to be Swedish?

[StitchV2]

You can make a Caterpillar using Padlockigami

[anonUK]

The point was there was only 1 thing they could produce through the ancient druidic art of "padlockigami"- "the Swan".

The way he said the line "There is his cousins" sounded like a modern rendition of Chaucerian English than Welsh accented English.

[CrazeeCatrin]

methwelliefanny! jam.

[fattyhasapenis]

haha, thats well good, :D allthough he doesnt sound very welsh

[Jacobiskoby37]

I cannot understand a word he's saying...

I've read in the comments that it's an exaggerated welsh accent, but what is the welsh accent anyway?

[Boots59100]

@Jacobiskoby37 Sounds just like this!

[iMandie]

I assumed this is sort of a parody of a welsh show.

Is it?

What show is it? i've been trying to find this out for a while now.

[Cupit29]

@iMandie I think it just parodies the kind of generic crap that's shown on the welsh regional channel "S4C".

[GenericRoarkMkII]

That was fucking hilarious.

[garethmorris26]

he sounds thai

[hcasperk]

shocking welsh accent, sounded more like the ugandan off fonejacker.

and before you try to contradict me, i lived in wales for 2 years.

[KeirenScott]

Deliberate you goon!

[KonijNx2]

I really don't think the sketch was to demonstrate his talent with Welsh accents, more to take the piss through exaggeration and mockery.

But that's just me, I take it as 'comedy'.

[Hobnob078]

@hcasperk baaah

[blitzablitza]

padlockigami = padlock + origami ;o)

[FunkeyChunkeyMonkey0]

@blitzablitza

And somehow more amusingly, sounds like polygamy :)

[xyaqua]

ethylfan

[Bigwullie1]

This is sooo good. It's like he's a Welsh person who speaks Welsh so much he's forgotten how to speak English properly. xD

[Lisanab]

was that in Welsh?

[TherealMrChristophel]

makey uppy welshy

[MakeToastNotWar]

I speak Welsh and I had no idea what was going on until I read your comments xD I thought it was South African or something. It's funny, but needs more spitting :P

[xyaqua]

jam

[mightybooshfanbottom]

pure genoius, man!

[Pikoble]

It must be hard to keep that voice up

[bumfacefuck]

that was about the most hilarious thing i have ever seen, his welsh impression is amazing.

[Mosschopslikesmoss]

lol..id buy that from him, they are so cute in their little pond : D

[bumfacefuck]

totally =D

[VEGITA9000]

and here's a sunny beth-weth THe SWAN!!!

[valcan99]

[joewhittles]

[tscarlsson]

What the hell does that even mean? :)

[xyaqua]

ethylfan...

[WeeblBull]

they shouldve done another one of these - maybe a padlockigami handbag.....

[5ynic]

The conjoined twin

The letter "D"

The...oh, that's it.

[xyaqua]

Jam

[BigMac7780]

I love his hair here. I laughed. This guys honestly make me luagh out loud, which I don't tend to do when I'm by myself, but these guys do.

[OwzyB]

i speak welsh and this is hilarious, he's not actually saying anything

[mowafagouli]

ehtylfan.

[idioticmayhem]

I have no idea whatsoever what he's talking about but its hilarious!

[xyaqua]

... ehtylfan...

[mrfilanges]

Beth welly fanny, jam.

[MJHxoxo]

That little display of padlock swans and flowers is strangely aesthetically pleasing XD

[oywidapoodles]

Scketleneck my favorite eusgh lo frough video ever!

[PokaDeJoka]

i learned Padlockigami in school! its sooo cool

[acewellrules]

thats really not funny

[snaisybelle]

the absolute funniest thing i have ever seen.

[xyaqua]

I've sen this dozens of times, and i still wonder how i manage to not pee in my pants...

[CNash85]

"Fading away on all sorts of bonny bethey..."

[akava77]

this sketch reminds me of a gaelic programme the bbc used to show in scotland called dotaman :-)

[ceebee60]

Odd David Mitchell didn't do this - his mother is from Wales.

[iron666bruce]

lol it's not realy welsh its just gibberish with an accent

still funnt though

[ceebee60]

Yeah, I realise that ... I was born in Wales.

[xyaqua]

Exactly what monty Python's funniest joke in the world was:

Wenn, ist das nallsthook

git und slaughtermeier

ja! Fyrhuunt! das oder der flippervalt

gesphoot.

(sound of 20 german speaking soldiers dying from laughter)

[orunir]

Webb has that certain tone to imitate a children's show host in that airheaded way. Mitchell sounds too sinister or whiny if he speaks softly.

[ltw07]

Bethwely fanny.....jam, I was doubled when I first saw this. Class ;)

[Plodz3]

looks and sounds more South Affrican than welsh

[sionswansea]

i watched this when it first came out, im a welsh speaker and i was crying laughing

fair play.... Class

[mrmahoosive]

Yes it's a piss take of Welsh kids tv. Just watch S4C on satellite, its a real phlegm-fest.

[monolith94]

ooooooh so he's speaking welsh! that'd be good information to have going into this clip

[clifforj]

fail.

[Cymro32]

Love it. S4C used to be full of this sort of thing. I must say that the pseudowelsh phonology sounds a lot closer to the real thing than lots of other attempts.

Branbawi metholweth allanbethol padlockigami :)

[kyaisme]

I am Welsh and I had no idea he was trying to do Welsh, but now I know, I can kind of see it haha.

[jules2517]

"See? There is his cousins!" I love this show.

[diamandis80]

Very nice! However, perhaps it would have been funnier if they said "4. The Swan", it would then make you wonder what other 3 things they had created using a padlock.

[Nezwart]

Yeah. That would have been even funnier. :)

[felixvc]

@Nezwart Probably would have gotten in the way of the whole collection of swans joke. The pun was that you can't make anything else than a swan, so it would have to be either their joke or yours.

[simonkane]

It's meant to be nostalgic really. Folk guitars and crafts shows and Welsh language programming are all very childhoody. And the word "padlockigami" just sounds better with a Welsh accent.

[Nezwart]

Yeah. I don't think it's anti-Welsh. Just fun, and possibly taking the mickey out of crap regional TV.

I just find Webb's silly overblown accent very funny.

[MegaLolburger]

@Nezwart Im Welsh and I love Mitchell and Webb, so frikking funny, my whole family found this hilarious,hes not really saying anything in Welsh lol but it does sound like it

[mattoswinnos]

i dont really get it

[KoroOutbreak]

I believe they're making of Welsh folk crafts.
