You Have Been Watching - David Mitchell & Charlie Brooker

[MCshlthead]

this is so unfunny it hurts.

[titaniumslug]

It actually looks more like just a wine glass, but he's swirling it round like you might do with brandy. The point is, he doesn't have a clue what he's doing. And who says "genuine whisky"? All we can tell from that is that it isn't bells.

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug as opposed to apple juice as a prop.

[titaniumslug]

@Carb86 That doesn't make sense as a sentence I'm afraid.

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug what are you talking about? If you mean grammatically incorrect, then check your own. If you mean overall meaning, it's pretty clear. It is genuinely real whiskey, as opposed to apple juice as a prop. It is a brandy glass, not a wine glass. If you're gonna be pedantic, you should first make sure you're right.

[titaniumslug]

@Carb86 Ok, so its a brandy glass, he's swirling it round like its brandy, and he says "its genuine whisky". And somehow you're saying it's wrong for me to make the observation that that sounds idiotic? If he'd have said "its genuine brandy" or "It's actually whisky" these would have made sense. Even if it was a whisky glass "genuine whisky" would still sound childish: there's a massive difference between bourbon and scotch. Its like a 15 year old going into a pub and asking for "A pint of beer"

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug No, my point was that you were being pedantic and pettifogging, yet got the details wrong yourself. On TV, they don't normally have real alcohol, and will use similarly coloured non-alcoholic drinks. That was the point he was making: 'this contains alcohol'. To order a beer would be unspecific because the barman has a range, but to say to a friend that you're drinking beer would be fine. It's like saying 'I've got wine'. What he said made perfect sense, you just misunderstood it.

[titaniumslug]

@Carb86 Ha Ha. If that make sense to you mate, then you go with it. Have a nice life.

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug Don't be sarcastic you idiot, of course it makes sense.

[titaniumslug]

@Carb86 I wasn't being sarcastic actually. I was being genuine. I felt that restating my argument was kind of tiresome, but if you're insistent I'll comply.

Just to be clear what I was doing with my first comment is called teasing. The same thing David Mitchell did to the exact same statement. People usually take this in good humour and maybe tease back when the time calls. They don't protest the details in a tiresome and humourless manner, or at least they shouldn't. continued....

[titaniumslug]

@Carb86 Continued 2..... I’m not saying that his intention wasn’t to differentiate his drink from prop alcohol. I know that that was his intention. Regardless of his intentions I can still make inferences based on what he said and then tease him on those inferences. Those inferences don’t even have to be correct. Continued...

[titaniumslug]

@Carb86 Continued 3. Also, Whether the specific kind of whisky needs to be stated in this situation is irrelevant. The fact that he says genuine whisky is gives the impression he doesn’t know whether its bourbon or scotch, or in fact know anything about whisky at all, which is the inference I’m teasing him over. Whether he in fact knows a great deal about whisky is irrelevant. The fact that he sounds like he doesn’t is enough for the tease. I hope this clears up what my intentions were.

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug it semi clears them up....but I think you've changed your original intention. All I said at the beginning was: 'as opposed to apple juice', because it sounded like you misunderstood what he'd said (which I still think you did, but have now realised your misapprehension). I thought it was pretty clear, and I wasn't even teasing, you just sounded like you'd misunderstood so I was setting you right. The point was that it didn't sound idiotic when he said it, it was perfectly normal...

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug there is a very clear difference between you and Mitchell...he knew the details and used them as a joke. You got your facts wrong (wine glass), and pretended like he was an idiot for using the word 'whiskey', when you couldn't understand what the hell was going on! I was helping you to not put your foot in it so much. x

[titaniumslug]

I find it amusing how aggressive you think you are being. I didn't get my facts wrong actually. A brandy glass is generally very wide. A lot wider than the glass he is holding. So the glass is either a narrow brandy glass or a short wine glass. He did look idiotic imitating a brandy drinker whilst drinking whiskey. And I have never heard someone say "genuine whisky". hens me saying "who says" before it. Make your next response seem like you won because i'm bored with you. Now fuck off!!

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug How aggressive you think I'm being?...what kind of sheltered upbringing have you had? You useless twat. I was trying to be nice. I don't normally swear on youtube, don't like to go down to that level, but you are one of the most useless, unfunny cunts I've seen on here. It's not surprising your supposed jokes get missed, you must be the life and soul. You got it wrong, you're not funny, and he said 'genuinely real whiskey', not 'genuine whiskey'. There's a key difference, Einstein.

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug and for the record....how many fucking times can you get this wrong! The prop guy fucked up when he gave them a brandy glass, a fact Brooker didn't think about. That it was a brandy glass was never the point. That was not the joke, you fucking retard.

[Carb86]

@titaniumslug oh, and one more thing, mould for brains....it's 'hence', not 'hens'. Hens is the plural of hen. In case I need to explain that one, it's a female chicken. Don't say your hand slipped, I know you're retarded but they ain't that near. Do yourself a favour, try not to talk in public, you'll only embarrass yourself. Hens.....you fucking idiot.

[titaniumslug]

@Carb86 You know what? I'll give you that one.

[FoxySpiritOfJazz]

"It's genuine whisky."

"In a BRANDY GLASS?! You barbarian!"

I'm saying that somewhere, somehow in the future.

[pcvideogamer]

we all know Chuck Brooker.. the Televisionnator! using the 'dying' medium he talks about on other shows he presented this show about 'tele' and how shit & odd it can be at times and while watching this on the Internet (Internet killed the TV star) then i wonder if I'm not in a weird loop... where-by one day on a consumerist video device of the future my comment on this video will be scrolled past to reach for another thumb-clip on the death of traditional 'television' by said pundit... TADPOLE!

[TolpuddleMartyr]

I don't understand what Charlie did wrong. I drink whiskey (and sometimes beer) from snifters as well. Have I unintentionally committed some kind of secret faux pas that only ultra-posh elites like David are privy to?

[IJBLondon]

@TolpuddleMartyr beer from a snifter glass?! Good god man. [monacle drops from eye]

[dalekcaan1963reborn]

@TolpuddleMartyr He was only joking :P

[Kevtb87]

@TolpuddleMartyr it's hardly a crime, but like putting coffee into a Coke bottle, or WKD into a champagne glass you just don't do it. at least not without expecting a few odd looks.

[MrBuch169169]

Mitchell read my thoughts with that, "In a brandy glass?!"

[GriffinNary]

What does David Mitchell say at 0.51? I can't hear him...

[c0rse]

@GriffinNary "Sorry, I don't want the show to in any way interrupt your drinking..."

[GriffinNary]

@c0rse Brilliant, thanks! Damn audience...

[ReeceAshmore]

Is it just me who loves something about the camp, yet childish way Charlie shouted 'END OF THE SHOWWWWW, END.OF.THE.SHOWWWWWW'

?

[SmileForInsanity]

Sophisticated, no?

[MissRamble]

I really, really fancy both Mitchell and Brooker. Some people think that's weird, but I'm o.k with that.

[Buirgenstock]

"It's genuinely real whisky." - "In a brandy glass!?" Very few are so posh and awesome at the same time.

[DeadlyNightShade60]

DON'T COUGH!!

[jimbob224]

1:40

[MsSigmaT]

"Fuck a Jesus? I won't, thank you."

God I miss this show.

[MegaLamb]

1:31 - 'Nuff Said :P

[IoEstasCedonta]

If that's really whiskey, that's really light whiskey.

[hairinmyEYES]

@IoEstasCedonta The ice-cubes may have already gone a bit, under the studio lights.

[Daleksaresupreme1]

i think charlie may have been a little bit tipsy there

[ringosis]

@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes

Mitchell is a regular guest on his Radio 4 show "So Wrong It's Right"

[ringosis]

If you like the Brooker/Mitchell back and forth you should check out David Mitchell's radio show "The Unbelievable Truth". Brooker has been on it several times and it's pretty damn funny.

[A16AdamWalker]

David and Charlie are a great pairing, but you could imagine, if it had of been Charlie rather than Robert Webb in Peep show, one of them would be dead

[doctortehe]

Fuck a Jesus, stop arguing. It's infantile and ruining the ambiance of the bromance.

[RincewindsHat66]

Quit arguing, you piss-kidneys, I'm trying to watch David Mitchell be witty!

[james2529]

3 people don't want to fuck a jesus

[1001000111]

@ShanksDChopper : When I said he wasn't funny. Making a statement, something to which you'd use in an argument. It came back with 'says who? Fuck off'... which isn't making a statement nor adding to anything I care for... =)

[26wordy]

I could do this nearly as funny, improving with time to become undisputed funny man of the WORLD.

[renoo27]

"Like hearing someone recover form a head injury." Lol!!

[1001000111]

@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes ...good argument. No wonder you're just on the internet.

[aaron4820]

@1001000111 To be fair I'm sure he's not just on the internet... and if he was, "Says who? Exactly, now fuck off" would have been an excellent response from a non-scripted AI.

[1001000111]

@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes : Because he's not THAT funny?

[chinesegeordie]

@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes yeah the look he gave at the end of the clip though says a thousand words! i hope they do more stuff together soon :)

[chinesegeordie]

@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes david's featured on charlie brooker's latest episode of how tv ruined your life - david does a spoof documentary about rave culture!

[MissSheepgobaa]

Mitchell is sexy in this.

Never, ever thought I would use the word "sexy" to describe David Mitchell. But there you go.

[Chariset]

@MissSheepgobaa He's insidious like that. I was watching QI, thinking nothing of it, and then suddenly "Oh, hey, who's the little angry man with the big eyes?" It comes out of nowhere -- one minute you're annoyed and the next minute you're smitten

[CCNuck]

@Chariset YES. Dude, the same thing happened to me a couple years ago. Innocently watching QI, thinking Alan Davies was rather adorable, then noticing that that one guy who's on the show rather a lot has very dark eyes, oh isn't that interesting, they look black, isn't that unusual - BAM. David Mitchell'd.

[morkus26]

Does anyone else remember that guy with the glasses saying something really rude to Charlie during this episode?



[batmanofni]

There's one point where Charlie seems genuinly tipsy.

[stereomike111]

oh david, "brandy glass" is a misnomer...

[rageagainstmonica]

I wish they were a gay couple who would adopt me.

[Makkah0901]

It's like a titanic clash of minds.

[alahl002]

two brilliant and funny people and if you enjoyed this i highly recommed "The Big Fat Quiz Of the Year 2009" were th two of them form one of the teams.

[ConradMcBad]

I bet David Mitchell is actually the Stig.

[spaceoreo]

Mitchell and Brooker together...TV gold.

[Restayvien]

"You barbarian!" lol

[raudstrupe]

DON'T COUGH!

[xoxlollypop]

Fuck a Jesus

hahahahahhaahahhaha

[cazishere]

charlie brooker AND david mitchell in the same room. i can die a happy girl

[PleaseRunDownBella]

End of the shooooow! End. Of. The. Show! 

[up4sumfun067]

I love Charlie's face when David says ''from a Brandy glass?''

[MentalPumpkin42]

GET A ROOM YOU TWO!

[SCXBAYBEE123]

@MentalPumpkin42 There is genuinely a LOT of sexual tension and flirting between them, isn't there? :D

[SCXBAYBEE123]

"Fuck a Jesus??! I won't thank you!"

[jpalongo]

"I don't want this show to in any way interrupt your drinking"

[casioexz1080]

"Until next time.........F**k a Jesus". LMAO!!!

[dim432]

Thats the end of the show. GO AWAY

[magoini]

" In a brandy glass! "  :-)
