Robert Webb on Big Brother - Friday Night with Jonathan Ross - BBC One

[wwaarrddy]

I've watched this twice a day every day since discovering it 2 weeks ago. Ross' reaction is totally genuine for once.

[jamieisamonkey]

@wwaarrddy you are so boring

[wwaarrddy]

@jamieisamonkey Well at least 3 people think otherwise :)

[MattSingh1]

"I like Davina...she's just doing a gig..." By far the best part, better than the the actual insult, and actually the BIGGER insult in my mind (and Davina's too, judging by her reaction/face).

[dibinism]

Who proposed Bib Brother and how?

"My idea is that we pull in the scummiest people in Britain and force them to stay in the same house until they all go mad"

[hahaha430]

@dibinism it started as an anthropological and psychological experiment on how people react under surveillance, based on George Orwell's book 1984. but then it just changed into a massive reality show

[graemeoliver84]

@hahaha430 I don't think it was ever this noble scientific experiment you make it sound like, it was always a TV show made for ratings.

[hahaha430]

@graemeoliver84 Of course, this was a series produced by Channel4, who brought us Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. But that is how it was sold to us who were sceptical.

[graemeoliver84]

@hahaha430 I think Channel 4's brought us a lot of good stuff over the years, but I think it's thought of as the "youth channel", so that's why it's also been responsible for some not-so-good stuff.

[brianmullins1991]

Haha some man he doesnt give a fuck that she is there

[Lightfeatherwing]

Don't know who the hell Davina is, but I agree with Robert. Big Brother is bullshit.

[theresuga]

@Lightfeatherwing She was the host of it. It was dumped by the original broadcaster a year or two ago and has now been rebranded on another network with a different host but at the time Davina McCall was the host

[jazzx251]

@Lightfeatherwing

Davina was the host of Big Brother - who would front the show and interview the contestants who got thrown out.

[DrSalvador15]

Shut the fuck up, Davina, you tawdry piece of shit.

[MrValiant61]

Webb`s remark can cover about 80% of the output that is aimed at the mid-teens to mid-20`s in the UK. Sadly, alot of it is watched by a depressing amount of people.

[tarapinkerton]

Webb is a very poor comedian.

[shoseki]

Someone said fuck or bugger.

[smithhedgehog]

davina is an awful presenter. I like how matthew fox(?) found it amusing.

[OpticInk]

Fuck off Davina

[hiphopf0reva]

I can't stand Davina. . . .hate her.

[johnbicket]

I like Davina, but BB is "just a gig". Rob you are a genius

[TheDavelogan]

Davina couldn't take those jokes? Man there's not much hope there is there?

[mutater0]

@TheDavelogan im pretty sure that was mock anger mate...

[TheDavelogan]

@mutater0 Not really. True she played it up at times. but when he said some of his harsher comments then she was genuinely miffed.

[Gellis2009]

Davina is fit

[Maximillionaire666]

Davina McCall is the skidmark on the underpants of British comedy.

[Fireslave1]

@Maximillionaire666 Please refrain from complementing that talentless woman to the extend of regarding anything shes involved with as "comedic" >.>

[callumrocksyoursocks]

0:21 The Guy to the left of Davina "Ok, here we go..."

[Gellis2009]

i really like davina

[LSSJBardock]

see davina people like us and robert webb think your shows shit

[66420192]

People with any kind of common sense should despise shit like BB.

[uditchow]

tawdry

[GameOfYears]

What does he say? What piece of shit?

Tertiary? Cautery?

[uditchow]

@GameOfYears tawdry

[marcmischief]

@GameOfYears tawdry

[GameOfYears]

@marcmischief Thanks.

[MrLiamBrennan]

Later in the show she went on about how she loves Big Brother and finds it bizarre when people don't like it. That's because it's a piece of tawdry shit Davina, you absolute goon.

[ma049]

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking the truth.

[explodingplant2]

lol matthew fox, classy

[truthfilter]

well done webb :):)

[Teaspooninjabot]

0:48 I love the look on her face XD

[dmhiggs]

Jack from Lost goes for the beer bottle to cover up the smirk hahaha brilliant

[jamesjonesrocket]

ooooh that was uncomfortable to watch :)

[glefeeo]

His reaction laughter is beautiful.

[Mathiastro]

WEBB IS A HERO

[MrThreshold2009]

Got to love Robert Webb. Thanks feck there's intelligent people like him saying it like it is.

McCall's so damn annoying with the playing it up to the camera crap she always does. It doesn't help defend the show or her situation one bit. Daft pleb.

[eimead]

am I the only one who reckons Davina McCall's only talent is expressing over the top pantomime faces?

[bearcub410]

you are my hero mr webb . i have not even seen the uk version of bb but the american version is shit so i guess the uk version is also !!!! he really hit the nail on the head with that response you are a god mr webb

[ska2808]

@dragonzdenn And you're a Big Brother fan - you therefore have no valid opinion on anything.

[22penners22]

@ska2808 and we all agree on that!

[GameOfYears]

@ska2808 Most ignorant post ever.

[ska2808]

Davina ... do you really think Big Brother's so great?  Really?

[dchris1990]

@ska2808 well 1. BB gives her alot of money :P and 2. she probly thinks webbs insulting her!

[KiltBill2]

Love Mr Fox's reaction, there.

[thelexus]

big brother sucks, but davina is HOT! still!

[whataboutsky]

"its like israel and paliastine "" ....shut up jonathan

[Libervurto]

@whataboutsky

Maybe it was a political statement, telling an American to stay out of Israel and Palestine. I don't think Jonathan is smart enough to have meant that though.

[CarrieCanto]

Tell it like it is, Rob :)x

[georgianally]

@dragonzdenn get a job son

[blm1990]

@dragonzdenn: So's your mum.

[Libervurto]

@blm1990

His mum is FAR from talentless.

[Maximillionaire666]

The funniest thing is that Davina is right there when he says it. Robert Webb is the shit.

I wish Jonathan Ross didn't make that joke about Pallestine, not that I thought it was offensive, but just that Ross generally is not funny at all

[florencelovme]

I love Davina's face when he says the words "mentally ill"

[chailizard]

What a badass.

[50033836]

Why did Davina do a wanking gesture at 1:02?

[florencelovme]

@50033836 a punching gesture not a wanking gesture

[50033836]

@florencelovme I know that! But actually -look- at the gesture. Doesn't take much imagination to change that.

[DerPortugiese15]

I just have got to take my hat off to Robert Webb. I don't think that I would have had the guts to formulate it like this if one of the main protagonists of Big Brother was next to me. Although there is no better or more true way to say it. George Orwell warned us about the consequences and the existence of such thing as a "Big Brother". Today, we make a TV show out of it - I guess that is what you call a sick society...

[RobStark12]

anyone notice davina's hand/arm tan difference at the end 1:04 ?:S

[LinguistDan]

Ahahahahaha! I love Robert Webb for that comment!

[mystvice]

people like Mitchell and Webb make u think there is still hope for humanity

[beckiangel2010]

what year was this?

[wardyladohaye]

that was sooo good...god i hate davina

[RocketRehab]

I love the way Robert just down talked Big Brother. If it comes from the mouth of that genius, then it's fucking true.

[funnyhuuny90]

davina mcall. the least funny person on tv. 

[tricksie88]

oh God i love his honesty

[dmhiggs]

Matthew Fox trying to keep a straight face at 0:14 is priceless. Goes for a drink to cover it up, Davina is obviously really upset, but she can get over herself.

Freezeframe at 0:17 sums up their reactions.

[Blackpanfa]

I actually rolled on the floor when Robert Webb voiced my thoughts to the exact word about big brother.

[aliceat41]

Fabulous! Big Brother 1 was brilliant because they were genuinely interesting people who didn't know how popular it was going to be. I remember them saying that they thought they'd be consigned to 3am slots and were going to come out anonymous. It was seriously downhill from there and totally pointless.

[stonemonkey999]

Davina's reaction is magnificent

[EdNewey654]

thumbs up if u totally agree with robert =)

[cate123]

Davina looks genuinely shocked!!

[Dacijo]

@cate123 yeh, she had surgery a few days later to fix that problem

[cate123]

@Dacijo hahaha, you are funny!

[serst35]

It's nice to see a celebrity with integrity :)

[skint0n0minted]

big brother is apile of shite

[birdtomahawk]

i have to compare british comedy to british reality tv. there is simply no connection in the way that british comedy contains the two geniuses mitchell and webb and many other intelligent people who are not only hilarious but also extremely bright. reality tv shows in britain such as BB are simply shameful.

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

Further reason to love him - EVERYTHING he says is true.

[norgorelli]

like israel and palestine.... just like

[smoolet]

he was right, Davina just in it for the money anyway and she is not talented at all!

[tiger7372]

Robert Webb is massively overlooked - mostly due to Mitchell being such a comedy giant. This has to be the best off the cuff remark ever: 'tawdry piece of shit' - must use it myself one day.

[smithitt]

"I named you after this toretally piece of shit" LOL

She is shcoked and Foxy just takes a swig of beer to settle the awkwardness!!!! Brilliant. Should be a painting

[marcmischief]

@smithitt "tawdry piece of shit"

[smithitt]

@marcmischief Cheers spell check... FUCK OFF!

[peterclark231]

I'm having an incredibly depressing day, but that brought about a huge laugh. Thanks, Rob.

[butIwantpewee]

lmao, that was so awesome I had to watch it twice

[daisyzoozoo]

@butIwantpewee i almost couldnt watch it twice, i thought i might die of laughter!

[JuanT42]

Mitchell and Webb are pretty comfortable sitting thigh to thigh when they have a whole couch...

[jayangli]

yeah, the show is sadd. but then a lot of people watch it. a show like big brother would not work in asia. shows how sad people can be

[craigybaby10101]

i feel so sorry for Davina having to pretend she likes that show XD

[BiffSweetwater]

I love Foxxy in the background

[Szaam]

unfortunately davina, most of us think like the same :)

thank you robert webb for breaking the news, haha.

[smpowis]

I'm quite sure that this was the best combination to have on the show since I first started watching it.

[xTunafishx]

Summed up to perfection.

[campalamp1212]

haha davina's facial expressions r priceless!

[ryonni123]

too bad wossy likes big bwudder.

[ednuttah]

Davina surprised? Big Brother is shit? No really? It was shite in 2000 it is shite now never has been good. Like the Spice Girls just irritatingly shit.

[daisyzoozoo]

@ednuttah shame is its a really fascinating idea. its just exploitative and done badly but if they picked people randomly and not just exhibitionist prats the idea for the program i think could be really interesting :)

[SoylentGreeeen]

First the Comic Relief dance and now this. You really want me to fall in love with you, don't you?

[chairbluepen]

yes, yes you are

[gazm2k5]

I now love Rob even more.

[romeosdistress]

I love the way Devina McCall acts as if Robert is the first person ever to criticize Big Brother, with her classic silent horror film face in response

[yourverysilly]

robert webb is the king after this moment.

[WKaliberr]

0:43

Davina McCall is already getting ready for her next gig as a hooker

[WKaliberr]

Davina McCall is a twat

[Isanion]

It's the children of people like Webb that make the future worth fighting for.

And it's the children of the people who appear on BB that we'll be fighting against.

[Kyyuu77]

Classic

[MrBrownie145]

what a damn good statement!

[soulofshiver]

Too bad those who appear on BB will probably have a much larger brood.

[VEGITA9000]

gene  "(cess)"pool

[RealDefentertainment]

wait he had twins? you can only say brood if it`s morethan 2 at once

[Blackpanfa]

@Isanion

I am one of those children :)

[deadmanshand2010]

@Isanion

Amen.

[Muzik444]

Fair play, big brother is fucking shit. it's a disgrace. Devina dumbass Mccall should bow down to the likes of Peep show legend Robert webb and apoligise to him for being part of such a SHIT programme.

Peep Show - LEGENDARY.

Big Brother - Absoloute gormless bullshit

[Rorxz]

What's with being a smartarse, smartarse.

[Rorxz]

Anyone link me to a youtube vid of the whole interview?

[jedaaa]

you dont want to see it, its the most akward interview i've ever seen ross do, the way spoke to david was cringeworth.

[teachmeguitar]

mathew fox being gay

[jhvscs]

absolutely hilarious. We are all thinking it!

[brightsideoflife64]

Tordrey Peesowshit Webb - I think it's quite catchy actually. "How was your day at school today Tordrey?"......

[markdr123]

Did Davina really respond to "it's like Israel and Palestine" with "It will be. IT WILL BE!" at the end there? Really though?

[77number77]

Robert Webb is genius. Sexy as well. So understated... ummm. and he told is as it is. at last.

[123456yum123456]

Oh god. In that case, I'm sorry Americans. I'm sorry that our dum, bitchy, cruel, boring, talentless social-experiment-gone-wrong has passed on to America.

The only good thing about that show is that it has brought us Russell Brand, Dermot O'Leary and Davina McCall.

[EskimoAce]

I'll only accept Dermot out of those.

[123456yum123456]

Fine. I disagree, but each for there own and everything...

[bloke101]

and I'll only accept Davina's legs out of those

[Jordan8414]

Actually Big Brother is a Dutch program, so it wasn't us who passed it onto them.

[owenhunt]

All three of these presenters pre-date the gigs they performed on Big Brother, plus only Russell has moved on to make an impact elsewhere since.

I am endeared to both Davina and Russell though.

[DainBramageStudios]

0:47 makes davina look like a blow up doll

[tominator0x0]

i would

[DainBramageStudios]

who wouldnt

[Mizmo182]

Lmfao that looks so fucking funny lol

[complicatedcarrot]

Yay! and now it will soon be gone from channel 4 forever.

Robert Webb brought down Big Brother!

[TheConciseStatement]

Couple of things particularly funny here :

Matthew fox taking a big long slurp of his drink knowing he has to share the green room with the presenter of said piece of shit.

Davina turning into a vengeance-driven member of the PLO at the end.

[7211508]

he speaks so much truth

ne 1 who thinks big bro is gud needs to locked away poked in a broom cuboard

[zac4aliki]

ful interview?

[123456yum123456]

I don't think Mathew Fox is refusing to take sides, I just don't think he knows what Big Brother is.

Does anyone know if the full interview is online anywhere? I love Mitchell and Webb.

[xmissxHx]

lol at this vid! love mitcell and webb.his wife had a baby girl, they named her esme elizabeth webb

[webbtje]

Yeah whats with his possessive's?

Sorry.

[CasparWilson]

LOL look at davina taking it seriously, take that stick out your arse love

[KingKungFuCantona]

She was just joking for comedic reasons.

[complicatedcarrot]

Yeah, she knows it's true

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Big Bro is shite

[kadaj7007]

A-Men To that...

[DavidTennantObsesser]

Rob's only telling the truth baha

[dorymcphee]

"Taudry piece of shit"

[themanbearpig]

tawdry

[dorymcphee]

I swithered with a "u", I swithered with a "w". Took Jen from the The IT Crowd's approach - 50/50.

[themanbearpig]

Don't watch that program, felt it was for utter gumour cretin's

[GlobalOnlineTV]

They took the PM for apparently selling Peerages - they can take Jonathan Ross and the BBC for this shit.

[SuperTroll1000]

Look im a troll and your starting to annoy even me now with this crap.

[tolchock1984]

i thought the point of being a troll was being people aren't supposed to know you're a troll

[lilmike498]

Robert Webb...future Celebrity Big Brother contestant....

[CLOUGHY101]

i love it when mathew fox is laughing then he just picks up his beer (im guessing its beer) 2 like hide from the slight awkwardness

[flanders103]

lol xD hes right!

[marshall91t]

Couldn't agree more, 'a load of mental people in a house, pordded with a stick' LMAO!

[killerspaz4343]

Damn you, reverse psychology!!
