That Mitchell and Webb Look - Evil Genius

[doublelengua]

dexter side

[Jcolinsol]

Mr. Kooch really moved up in the organization lickety-split eh? From free-lance contractor to board of directors, just like that. Guess that's one of the perks of being the evil mastermind's lover.

A good man to keep on hand, though, I'm surprised he forgot about having installed that trapdoor.

[CreepyReid]

Isn't Calippo some kind of iced lolly?

[carinish123]

"Alas, I abhor informality." David Mitchell pulls this off so well. haha.

I just asked my girlfriend if she wanted a little "light refreshment" but she didn't give the same response that Robert did...

[241ae]

@tehn00bpwn3r Well that's a shame. Perhaps it would be better if she were....taken out of the picture

[tehn00bpwn3r]

@241ae Yes... she has become a ... nuisance.

[allblue88]

@tehn00bpwn3r @241ae sry guys you are doing it again!

[an1m8r]

I was expceting the evil geniuses chair to fall at the end.

[Papped1710]

[mynameisalexyu]

wouldve been hilarious if the trap door like was an elevator going down so slowly

[TheEvilForum]

[postwindmill]

mr. cooch lol

[HarduntheRanger]

David Mitchell sounds a bit like the Gman from Half-life in one bit.

[MintyInTheSky]

David looks like an extra from Lord of the Rings xD This sketch was pure excellence. I used to wonder how evil geniuses decked out their lair when any sort of construction has so many OH&S requirements attached. Now I know =)

[kchavda80]

Really enjoyed this one! :) Thank you for posting!

"Attention, trapdoor # 3 is about to open"!

[tricesimo]

So, did someone tell the Navy Seals that Osama bin Laden was "a nuisance" and that he should be "taken out of the picture"?

[Long23]

@tricesimo Yes - in October 2001. Took them a while to work out "killed" was what was required.

[alternativebassist]

@Long23 until then all they did was untag him in all his facebook photos.

[joebevis92]

I often like seeing women for some 'light refreshment'

[trishulf1]

david sounds like G-man!

Does anyone else find it funny how they're called Lesley, Alan and Keith? :D

[CapNYaAss]

they waited 9 months that accident that they was supposed to make happen XDXD

[89Wrathchild]

Mitchell looks like one of the elves from lord of the rings haha, The one that gets killed at helms deep, I forget his name. Anyone else think so too? lol It's pretty badass though.

[MrElwazo]

@89Wrathchild haldir!! He does look like him :L

[zoebiflap]

@MrElwazo it's the hair

[Kittyrebeccalai]

Love the way he says "Mr Cooch..." XD

[sherlockfan16]

when we want someone murdered, i.e deliberately killed to death... brilliant line, these guys are truly brilliant.

[jazzx251]

Forgive me Mr Bond, I beg your indulgence for a mere 7 minutes and 14 seconds. Was it Sir Walter Scott who said .. "time waiteth for no man"?

Allow me to introduce you to a moving picture which I believe you may find ...

"amusing"? ;)

[Everyone should talk like supervillains!]

[theAngryscotman]

@jazzx251 i find that idea rather....amusing....

[KodierungHerz]

DO YOU MEAN ANAL SEX?

[Solnemeth]

perhaps I'll see you later for a little...light refreshment? lol

[EJLSWE]

English humour is the best!

Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and now this show. Just great. (:

[xvxtobyxvx]

@EJLSWE don't forget the it crowd

[Mrgabrieleve]

@EJLSWE and yes minister

[CalmBlue]

@ameenuk2000 Good griefing, Charlie Brown!

[justbeforedusk]

@ameenuk2000 dry humour is a compliment. fool.

[apex4111]

@ameenuk2000 Well, you're entiltled to your opinion etc etc etc. But you're still completely, hopelessly wrong. Although, if you're American, I have to admit that line about US sitcoms being better than Monty Python WAS pretty damn funny. Pretty much the only decent comedy the US has produced has come in cartoon form.

[ameenuk2000]

@apex4111 oh yea can't talk shit about monty python casue it was made in the some world war era. oooh we dont want to make Gods of 60's angry. why is it that everything which has been made in the past we can't say it was bad. i actully got the half head headche trying to watch it . youknow the one which only hurts the middle of your forehead. Now american ones are the best. that's class right there. you can watch it for hours and hours and dont realise what time is it. and no im not american.

[flygweilo]

@ameenuk2000 Can't say I agree .... Monty Python did become a parody of itself in the end, but much of US programming is utter dross and wholly unwatchable.

And as for watching for hour and hours and hours ... I don't know that such is advisable. Should get out and do soemthing constructive instead of watching TV all day.

:)

[ameenuk2000]

@flygweilo lmao Got me here

[flygweilo]

@ameenuk2000  LOLz .... I guess we all do it occasionally though.

Yep - me included!

:)

[apex4111]

@ameenuk2000 LMAO what the fuck are you talking about? Monty Python was made in the World War era? Gods of 60's? What?!! You seem very confused, I guess that explains why you like US comedy so much.

[MrMaffew87]

@ameenuk2000 but ur based in america, which explains why you watch so much american shows. which also points out that you're a dull person.

I'm aussie english comedy shows pays off here down under mate.

[ameenuk2000]

@MrMaffew87 aussies can't act anyway so they had to go for the nearest option which is england( still sucking up to the queen) watching american shows means i am dull person??? well that's a no brainer right there but can't argue with someone from australia casue everything is upside down there MATE.

[SaulMeyersz]

@MrMaffew87 well your force to watch it.. its not like you cant..

i mean you must suck the queens dick

[Mryorkshirepudngravy]

[cykoaudio777]

[SaulMeyersz]

@EJLSWE thats it ? hahahahahhah

[coolstuff2004ad]

@EJLSWE monty python was overated, not so funny, moreso... insane- i watched the first 2 series last year, didn't laugh once. the movies had a few laughs in em though

[willpreston]

@coolstuff2004ad - life of brian is still full of incisive observations that are still relevant today "what have the romans ever done for us" WHERES THE PHOETUS GOING TO GESTATE, "YOU MEAN YOU WERE RAPED - WELL, AT FIRST"

and "peoples called romanos they go the house" is still very funny.

you've just watched it too many times

[TheWonderfulWombat]

I completely lost it when he said "do you mean anal sex?"

[ArianLock]

"I wish for the entire wall to... rotate! Turn... upon it's axis! Roundy-round." xD

[XxSharkBatexX]

"Everyone knows that when we want someone murdered, i.e. deliberately killed to death..."

[fowad27]

such luxurious hair...

[pedski86]

i wouldn't want villains to act any other way.

[Arjetube]

its thomas g. hornauer xD

(german mad and pedophile showmaster)

[000xyz]

Actually, there is a way the door will revolve without putting out the fire. It will look badass, and it will exeed the villian's expectations. It is too long an explanation for a youtube comment. So if anyone wants to know just ask through private mail, and i'll respond as soon as i can

[Kretain]

@000xyz What? the word PLEXIGLAS is too long an explanation for a comment? :S

[000xyz]

@Kretain no, no, no, it is not somethig as simple as plexyglass, it is more complicated, with a different result than plexiglass. but the additional work is worth it. but you are getting there, it is one of the items needed. just not the only one.

[Zanite]

@000xyz 'rotating chimney' ?

[000xyz]

@Zanite yes the question is how to make a rotating chimney while abiding to safety regulation. first the chimney shouldn't be adjacent to the wall, but perfectly centered apon the wall, such that the the the wall forms a diamater, not a chord or tangent line, also, for the combine machanics and illusion, the chiney needs to be circullar. the wall must rotate at the pivotation such that the floor under the fire remains still, while the rest of the floor rotates. i'll finish later for room

[adi87tya]

@000xyz I was thinking the same thing -- need a circular chimney, and space between the chimney shaft and the chimney itself so that rotation is possible. Still not sure how you could rotate the fireplace.

[000xyz]

@adi87tya the part of the floor where the fire is burning is completely static. the wall with the chimney AROUND the area are the parts that rotate. its like this, you know the old bionicle models from 2001? you know how you put a gear on the inside the torso, with a peg attached to the gear, going through a hole in the torso, and you attach the limb on the other end of the peg, on the out side of the torso? you know, so that when you rotate the limb, the gear rotates, and the torso doesn't?...

[000xyz]

@000xyz that torso/gear thing is an analogy. the part of the floor that rotates, is not the wall-wall length, its fireplace-fireplace length. the wall rotates with the chimney thing.....ok it's like this: the wall is attatched to the chimney, but not the floor and ceiling. it will be at a close enough to look solidly attached to the floor/ceiling, but it isnt. the entire moving component is like a fai-shaped prism, facing upward, exept the circular part of the fai-shape extends to a further dep.

[000xyz]

@adi87tya to continue, you know how on the model, i just described, the gear rotates on the inside with the limb, while the torso remains static? now, imagine that model is lying on its arm, and you are rotating the torso, while the gear doesnt move at all. the torso is the wall, and the gear is the fire. i hope that helped....somehow. it is the best way i can describe it at this very moment.

[adi87tya]

@000xyz Also, what I don't understand in this sketch is, that if a wall is load bearing, then how is the wall opposite it not load-bearing? Shouldn't the floor joists be running from the one wall to the opposite wall?

[000xyz]

@adi87tya as for the load-bearing walls, i don't know....blame the archetect, even hooch thinks he's a wanker. and frankly, i find it funny how i'm having a long instructional lecture (in a way) on the comment wall of a youtube video of a sketch of a british comedy show. this experience is practically a comedy sketch itself. I wish i was actually in it. it's off topic, but i once hung out with a guy who once hung out with Webb. Ahh PMC the one place in amerca, outside of pubs to meet cool brits.

[000xyz]

@Zanite to continue, (this is why i said to use P.M.) the wall can't be too long. the radius should reach the length of 2-3 feet away from the chimney. the openings, if possible, should use a careful system fire proof 2-way mirrors to hide the hidden room from both sides, while allowing the fire to still be visible. there's one step left but i gotta go now

[SkpD1991]

trapdoor 3 is about to open

webb: fuck this

[CityzenJane]

Leslie...the evil genius....LOL.

Also the hair.

[000xyz]

I gotta get me that office

[WardancerHB]

Hach, try to build a fortress of evil in Germany, the buerocracy is a pain in the ass!

[JVbin]

"...Forgive my levity Mr. Cooch but... when you come to know me better you will learn that neither health nor safety, are among my Primary Concerns!!!"

[AntoniaNora]

i rewinded at least 5 times to hear david mitchell say "ravenous piranhas" :-D

[AgentMcgeek]

I love it that you can hear sophie on the intercom at the end.

[mistarval]

Mitchell sounds like G-man from half life

[FlickerEdge]

Hilarious!

[ciaranod]

Ten people missed the Liked button. This is M&W at their finest

[thesuckmynuts69]

this is fucking hilarious

[crazypianolady]

They remind me so much of Fry and Laurie.

[Xigano1]

The four most hated words in the english laguage:

Health and fucking safety ...

[Snorks117]

@Xigano1

I'm not sure I hate the word fucking by any means.

[gearhead22996]

david mitchell is a great evil character!

[mastershake400]

Trap door 3 now open.

[tillimion]

@xafroxspectaculox type in Mitchell and Webb agent suave to find it :)

[cookiesfromspace]

warning: this wall may revolve

[sophiejo]

lol Being WHORdan......muhahahahahahah

[camydoger]

At 5:19 he sounds exactly like G-Man from the Half-Life series.

[xAfroxSpectaculox]

has anyone seen the one where david mitchells character is in this toy casino type thing with robert webbs spy character guessing how much cake weighs on youtube?

[trulynot]

@xAfroxSpectaculox Yep, its around here somewhere. One of the best.

[ninjainscrubs]

@xAfroxSpectaculox Yep it's called Agent Suave.

[xAfroxSpectaculox]

@ninjainscrubs yeah thanks, i found it ages ago and downloaded it for giggles :D

[Vannereveilar]

The buttons failing was the best part>> ahahaha XD

[liljimi7]

awesome



[dukesofdanceofficial]

whhahahaha amazing

[KingFluffs]

lol

[MarcusSLazarus]

I have to wonder if he went and tried to have those warnings removed after this 'trial run'

[egosumlupus]

Davids hair is soo creepy!

[Nexius8]

Having been an OHS person I feel I can say It was ever thus....

The bosses want to not be responsible but won't pay any money. Therefore instead of decent equipment and engeneering and design solutions you get signage and training. Cheeper and visible but not very useful. Thus everyone is annoyed, OHS people look like idiots, managers save money and the poor sods who do the actual work get blamed if they are hurt.

[Michigan1985]

Mr. Cooch?  hahaha

[yeahmbrbnfily]

Do you mean anal sex ?

Yes

Alright then

HA

[MarxistKnight]

I saw a programme the other day about people sueing councils and schools and things for accidents, and thats the reason there so much OTT H&S in Britain, so they don't get sued! Sueing seems to be the new fad

[championofcathay]

deliberately killed to death.

[pizzavortex3000]

4:04-4:18 is delicious.

[Obertain92]

This is giving me a super huge boner

[Robdrummer93]

David Mitchell reminds me of Angus Macfayden in Equilibrium in the first sketch!

[krustwell]

4:00 !!!

[comtraya101]

very austin powers

[YonManc]

lol I knew alippo ice lollies were evil!

[IPAndrews]

"Fair enough I'll have that done by Tuesday.". No! Never trust a British builder!

[IntrapersonalKent]

@IPAndrews Haha, T'would be fair to observe that you shouldn't trust the time commitments of contractors in general ;-).

[KristoffDoe]

@IPAndrews

Sure, get Poles to do it for half a price in half a time - of course if they understand what you want them to do, you understand what they're saying, and if they won't change their minds in the middle of the job and go back home... ;)

[Schwarzpferd]

I am an American and I have a question. I have heard that the UK has many safety regulations that have helped greatly reduce accidents in factories and so on. Is the last part a take on all those safety precautions? That said this was hilarious..."No, I'm quite sure you won't"

[Crowfighting]

I got the impression the "evil base safety" scene was a dig at "Health and Safety gone mad". You're right that safety regulations in workplaces (offices, shops, etc., as well as factories) have increased, often to good effect, but certain newspapers gleefully run stories when some bozo takes it too far and does something ridiculous, to get the readers frothing with indignation over their breakfasts. Many of those "health and safety gone mad" stories are exaggerated or just made-up though.

[gnikrnov]

Health and safety departments in the UK are notorious for their over the top rules and often the butt of jokes.

[jhfh3112]

There's a general feeling that H&S people are worthwhile but can take their job far too seriously at times. This is more a take on the stereotypical hollywood villain than that though.

[SolAurum]

Note to Self: *NEVER* ask for "light refreshments" in an evil genius' mansion.

[Aheadstix85]

Awssssoooommmeeee!!!!, this show is why i love British comedy, please dont sell it to the yanks!.

[TomLewer]

"oh what are you talking about keith."

[whitenoise97]

yh he would make a good villain

[yutubecop]

mark and jeremy

[MissFotini]

Mitchell is magnificent.

[MarxistKnight]

As comical as it is, I think David Mitchell does a pretty good cliché evil genius!

Absolutely hilarious! Even more twisted if someone managed to use this with an actual machinina of Evil Genius.
