That Mitchell and Webb Look - New South Wales

[PianoWizzy]

I love the Star Trek reference...

[Easyandy100]

Brilliant! And I am from South Wales.

[ronoc9]

New York

New Scotland

New South Wales

New England

there's even a New Ireland in Africa!

Let's just face it; the people who discovered countries were just lazy back in those days.

[gnarkillkicksass]

@ronoc9 Captain Cook was a shocker though. Out of all of his it is New Caledonia I don't understand.

How the hell did a tropical paradise in the Pacfic Ocean remind Captain Cook of northern Scotland?

[adi87tya]

@ronoc9 Let's be honest. Most of these countries were already "discovered" by humans.

[ronoc9]

@adi87tya as Eddie Izzard would say "do you have a flag?"

[adi87tya]

@ronoc9 Lol yeah!

[119glory]

@ronoc9 New Guinea, New Zealand, New Foundland, New Port, Newcastle, New West Haverbrook... (I made the last one up, see :P) carry on.

[ronoc9]

@119glory why add the "new" unless they already existed?

[phoney98]

cheers from new south wales!!!

[Airmed91]

Yeah, could you imagine if he called it QUEENSLAND? Ridiculous.

[xthebunniezx]

webb has the same fucking voice as david walliams. CREEPY

[3210Mit]

@NeverNoticedMe No shit.

[daveibukun]

hahahahahhahahahha, hillarious.

[RossHamMil]

james cook was lieutenant when he arrived in australia

[supplican]

@RossHamMil The master of a ship was always called Captain regardless of actual rank.

[longbendy81]

@supplican

S'right. And if someone with the "rank" captain (say an Army captain) came aboard (perhaps as part of a troop compliment or whatever) he was given an honorary "off dirt" rank - normally "Major". Cause there can be only one captain on a ship.

[85Aheadstix]

@RossHamMil He also thought the place was(said in broad Yorkshire accent) "fookin shite!"

[merdehappens]

@85Aheadstix Very well played, sir! Although I don't think many people would get the Adam Hills reference :)

[85Aheadstix]

@merdehappens Cheers mate.

[catbob91]

2 people are from Victoria :-p

[NeverNoticedMe]

im from south wales and its the opposite lol

[blocfoals]

Beachy Head.

Not fucking Dover (shithole!).

[TBustah]

Hehe, I can relate to that.

In Nevada, we have a town called Genoa that is nothing like Italy, a town called Manhattan whose population could fit in an average New York City apartment, and Virginia City, whose only connection to the state is that a guy FROM Virginia once lived there.

Oh, and Nevada itself means "snow-capped", despite the fact that it has the lowest annual precipitation in the country. XD

[Rompa87]

@TBustah That's the problem with naming places in vast countries. You eventually run out of names ; )

[Kinlochbervie50]

@TBustah brilliant!

[Agemegos]

Those chalk cliffs don't look anything like any part of New South Wales I've ever seen.

[HCihaiJB]

@Agemegos do you honestly think they'd go to australia to film this..?

[Agemegos]

@HCihaiJB No. But perhaps they could have found somewhere without whacking great chalk cliffs. South Wales, perhaps.

[charliethetricorn]

So true

[johnmcn90]

if you think new south wales is an unoriginal name you should try south australia, western australia and the northern territory. i love this show; "who's wearing the captain's hat?"

[SamuelEllmer]

Where was this filmed? Beachy Head?

[Hayashigame]

@SamuelEllmer Seriously? Can't you see the obviously painted background?

[SamuelEllmer]

@Hayashigame Seriously? The whole video has an orange tint which has been filtered over the footage to take away the bleach white of the cliffs.

I'm pretty sure this is on location, in the south east of England. Just wanted to know where.

[TheFactoryOfLight]

@SamuelEllmer By the way, the background depicts the Cliffs of Dover.

[SamuelEllmer]

@TheFactoryOfLight That's what I thought, or Seven Sisters or something.

[andy0705b]

i like the 1 where theyre goin through all that snow an he says greenland an the other1 just says whatever

[kesfree]

Great Sandy Desert anyone

[DancingInChains]

So, up here is Cairns, and there's Brisbane... what shall we call that great, dividing range in between?

Hey, how about calling it "Great Dividing Range"? I just have a thing for clever names.

[Mullahgrrl]

@DancingInChains Or how do you like The Great Sandy Desert?

[MilesB1975]

The Blue Mountains...

[DavidAllenUK]

...and those mountains that look a bit snowy. What should we call those?

[lauralikespurple]

from Sydney .... LOVE it.

[leer33]

MAROONS

[theviker]

[takingbackandy]

i wish south wales was like australia!

[Clutchology]

The similarities would be there is Australia was full of tumbleweed and clouds...

[briannahamlett]

It's bloody cold here in NSW! Got down to 11 degrees C today

[Uinb]

[bumfacefuck]
