That Mitchell and Webb Situation - Young Love

[georgek19]

it's sad and sweet at the same time

[hippyfriend]

I love the idea that David is a sort of chain email boyfriend and that she was originally trapped in that way too.

[CasparWilson]

what about the camera....?

[Slapbass13]

Weird episode of Peep Show.

[aragorn1780]

how to break up with your boyfriend: set him up with another guy, convince both of them that they're gay and good together, then run off free!

[Smithpolly]

She's free. They've both got a date. And someone gets a free camera. It's a win, win, win situation.

[SamLynn93]

I'm going to do this when I don't want to date anyone anymore!

[JohnTalksToYou]

And so began Peep Show.

[Northensnow]

I saw it coming, but I still laughed. This proves that good acting can make any sketch funny.

[phoney98]

slasher's united!!!

[mildetryth]

I'M FREE, I'M FREE!!

[KungfuCow5]

And thus a sitcom and a sketch show was born...

[DrEvilmonki]

what about the camera?

[wesselbindt]

There is no 1:24.

[zimgo]

and cue the screaming fangirls :P

[CrashPoint65]

She runs like shit.

[919664]

What's the name of the song ?

[loszhor]

Brilliant! That caught me off guard.

[thecorporalflashback]

I love that they skip! <3

[Aslapacrosstheface]

You leave a camera lying on the ground?

Well... it looked like one of those ancient pre-digital film cameras so I guess it's no big loss.

[pattayalob]

@Aslapacrosstheface ......I agree, so "80"s camera !!

[random007nadir]

They managed to find a girl shorter than David Mitchell! Perhaps someone should give Tom Cruise her number...

[marije123456]

@random007nadir he is over 6 foot

[Fanusunay]

@random007nadir That's not hard, considering he's 5'10". Most girls are shorter than that...

[TheAmazingMrFinn]

Oh thank the lord! No canned laughter! I'm in paradise.

[halifaxoperaworkshop]

Love it :)

[StrewnAsunder]

that was lovely hehe

[merton8181]

PEEEP SHOW

[dl052196]

This very spaced-esque

[Joiner113]

This is just so made of win, and it pleases me beyond measure that there aren't any anti-gay comments :D

[GreenElixir]

Omg... Mark Sophie and Jez :D This sketch made me LOL so hard

[14th20thKRHkickass]

love the series, never realised it was so old though!

Peep show is good as well

[LukeGeoDude]

left the camera there

[endoh666]

"You've got to do it now! You've got to go out with him! I'm free! I'm free!"

Girl runs away. --- Awkward couple of seconds just holding hands.

"Give it a week?"

"Yeah. Alright."

Frolicking away.

[biggie558]

@endoh666 WE KNOW!!

Those who don't don't have the capacity to watch your video or read your shitty comment!!

So fuck off!

[pattayalob]

Why didn't they pick up the camera as they walked off?

[Tr0llinator]

@pattayalob

because they are so in love that cant think of anything else

[SouthamptonSpyroFan]

They're a match from heaven

[LinguistDan]

I laughed myself silly at those last 2 lines!

[Zorro0kid0797]

LOL

that was random >w<

[lefredvoncarstein]

hey... HEY! GUYS! The camera! YOU FORGOT THE CAMERA!!!!

[pattayalob]

@lefredvoncarstein - whoops! I just posted the same comment, sorry.

[fiveyearslater1]

Where are you?..? can't be too careful

[MrShadyEternity]

If only it was that simple.

[FlakMeister]

Friends really should get back to holding hands, there's far too little of the good non-iffy male physical contact these days.

[lefredvoncarstein]

@FlakMeister in Bangladeshi culture it's perfectly normal for male buddies to walk around holding hands, and apparently it has absolutely zero homosexual connotations. does raise a few eyebrows though here in Singapore

[DrChalkwithering]

@lefredvoncarstein It's the Victorians' fault. In the early 1800s one could see soldiers and the like strolling in Hyde Park holding hands quite openly.

[WythenshawePhil]

@FlakMeister How about we let them do whatever the fuck they like? You hold hands with a man if you want. I'll stick to girls myself. Stop being an interfering faggot!

[myusernameisluc]

@WythenshawePhil

And that kids, is an example of someone who is insecure about something and feels the need to compensate. In this occasion by reacting overly agressive to an entirely innocent joke.

Thank you for the demonstration, Phil.

[WythenshawePhil]

@myusernameisluc Fuck you Luc! The problem I had was with the word "should". Judging from your condescending comment you clearly think you're a smart guy yet you were completely unaware of my motivation for making the comment. You just put it down to some fuzzy, hard to define "insecurity". That's all in your head mate. Since you decided to highlight insecurity to everyone (as if behind it) I suggest you take a closer look at yourself. You're welcome.

P.S. Fuck you!

[myusernameisluc]

@WythenshawePhil

tinyurl (dot) com/ycoh6lg

That.

[hugleberthumperdink]

Are singers at the start Olivia Colman and Robert Webb? sounds very like them

[Darthmas2242]

roflmao! I never saw that coming! xD

[CaptainBillFish]

oh that's how they met! hahahahahahaha

[abracadabble]

Haha! I've been looking for this for everrrrrr. Her reasons sound pretty convincing the first time. "Could you hold hands? I don't want to chop them off."

[david552]

... and that's how the Mitchell & Webb partnership we all know and love came to be....

[krungelcat]

Reply to MrSoreto....The music is "Un Homme et une Femme" by Nicole Croiselle and Pierre Barouh.  Licensed from Universal Music 1966.

[mellar07]

someone explain please?

[GarethandSarah]

As far as I can tell it's basically a transition of the relationship with using this camera.

If she can get someone else to hold his hand then that's the new couple.

I could be entirely wrong though.

[DrSparrowShrike]

And thus Sparking their LOng and Prosperous relationship

[stmirren37]

I'M FREE!

[MrSoreto]

Does anyone know what the music in this clip is called?

I would really like to know! :']

[deadeaded]

HAHAHA!!!!! hand the oar to that passenger...

[Jafroboy]

except for sophie

[MentalMaladies]

Lmao. Nice.

[fampie2008]

LOL

[WoWHobs101]

Funniest sketch out of em all!

[EllIExxxxxX92]

rob has fit hair in this

[BassyTheHijaabi]

... O__O

[BigMac7780]

I lol'ed most heartily.

I can picture a couple of my male freinds doing this.

[1100ema1100]

this was soo cute! :)

[AricornMartian]

And the moral of the story is...

SLASH IS CANON.

[callwithcurrentconti]

@AricornMartian oh god, and I'd just made that comment on the Small Office/Photocopier sketch.

oh god.

[Darkstar263]

That was good lol

[MaistrePathelin]

"Give it a week"? It's more likely "give it a lifetime" since they are such an idiosyncratic (now, that's a word that's complicated and that makes you look so smart ^^) pair.

[Conquestidore]

pointing it out as though we are ignorant infants makes you look arrogant and stupid not smart, there are plenty of words better than the rather basic concept of idiosyncrasy anyways

[MaistrePathelin]

Actually I meant to imply the contrary by using that little smiley (the one that looks like two manga character's eyes when he/she is happy "^^"). I didn't have the intention of sounding arrogant; I guess self-inflicted irony doesn't work well on the Internet.

[Conquestidore]

It really doesn't, no

[BirdAndCo]

No, not good. I like them but that is just so - I cant even put it in words

[explodingplant]

clearly, you can't.

[12345l6789]

It just goes to show you can't be too careful

[Weirfan69]

haha! that was cute :) x

[ollyhasamonobrow]

quite good... but their later stuff is better like that mitchell and webb look and peep show

[silentfart101]

they didnt even pick up the camera lol

[Spectre500]

It just goes to show you can't be too careful

[mrcoggy]

You can't. Good advice. ;)

[IzzyAllstar]

indeed, that well-placed peice of advice is fitting for once!

[FamousPhantom]

ok this is everywhere, can somebody explain that to me?

[zenafa]

David Mitchell wrote in one of his columns that people should just comment on everything "It just goes to show you can't be too careful." So now on every David Mitchell related thing on the internet that it's possible to comment on, there's about a million people writing it.

[slashingraven]

It just goes to show you can't be too careful!

[killzone999]

@Spectre500

Why does everybody say that?

[dorymcphee]

Aww

[mrsdilkington]

Ooooh, could someone pleeeease tell me what the song is from this sketch? It's killing me not knowing

[turquoiZe]

un homme et une femme by francis lai and pierre barouh. sung by maany french chanson singers since... you might know the mireille mathieu version. my fave is the patricia kaas one :)

[jazzguy618]

And the rest, as they say, is history.

[Jujibo]

She says: "You've got to do it now, you've got to go out with him - I'm free!"

[LittleRedFox1991]

could someone please tell me what she screams?

RF

[steveg28hotmail]
