That Mitchell and Webb Look - A Prayer & A Pint Tokyo

[TheBankersNephew]

Er... Isn't he called "Puck Man" in Japan?

[uiruu]

Drugs were involved in the making of this sketch

[hyphz]

I've heard a claim - only a claim - that the hymn at the end is based on a real one used for teaching English in Christian schools, and there are 2 more verses.

2- All he wants to do.. is save us. Who does he want to save? All.

3- "Love him" instead of "praise him".

[Taitmomma]

Black people are probably objectively more attractive after the initial shock lol

[hyphz]

Double research error - in Japan, the enemies in Pacman are just called "monsters". "Ghosts" was a name made up by US players based on how they looked.

[uiruu]

@hyphz Research error? It's a comedy sketch.

[EgorManiac]

Who do I want to praise? GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

[sunnyncloudy]

The song at the end makes me crease up every time. :')

[playerthe2nd]

Id probably watch this if it were a real show.

[ReyyanK]

@playerthe2nd It is a real show

[playerthe2nd]

@ReyyanK I meant Prayer and A Pint, no Michell and Webb you cheeky git.

[darkridr25]

Yoshida: "Yes!" (I have no idea what he's saying. Oh, he's singing something that sounds very solemn. I must be respectful and go along with this.) "Yes!"

[MatthiasAletharch]

A perfect skewer of afternoon filler shows like The Hairy Bikers or One Man In A Campervan, in which a gimmicky idiot visits a different place every episode and has an incredibly stilted conversation with someone about "local traditions", when it's painfully obvious they've done no research whatsoever before switching the camera on.

[Viljarism]

No, no, no! 'Whom do I want to praise?', it's supposed to be whom!

[Jcolinsol]

Black people are objectively more attractive than white people.

[armandsdamanhoo]

this sums up Ireland really

[DrAmazing]

This perfectly captures the feeling of having a conversation in a language where you only understand every 4th or 5th word.

[AJPirmohamed]

@DrAmazing Yes, Pacman!

[BrellK]

I thought I hated the song, but found myself singing it in the car while I was driving because I was so bored.

[MzJokerzz]

Watched this 8 times sung along 9 of them...

[jasrogg]

Pac Man is based on the Holocaust.

[jasrogg]

@jasrogg Wait who does he want to praise?

[POPPPUdane]

Praise him.

[superagurihyperteam]

"Yes, yes, Pacman, Japanese" "No!" :O

[moon666watcher]

I don't get this sketch but I love it!

[bfdhvcnvvbjdn]

I didn't like these sketches at first but they do grow on you.

[Wavanova]

You all look like pixies, it's hilarious.

[EnzoDisgraziato]

@Wavanova Pixie Madness, here in Tokyo.

[wederwoord]

The holy ghost isn't that shape. -Holy ghost? -The Holy ghost! -Holly coast? -The holy ghost... Ah the holocaust!

[Blackadder125]

David Mitchell has a very funny voice.

[barbicaine]

"Black people are probably objectively more attractive than white people, once you get over the initial shock..."

Brilliant! lol

[fromgst]

Played the character so well HA!

[gomptwoky]

i would like donny cosy to do a album!

[gomptwoky]

"all i wan to do" should be a ringtone.

[mellar07]

The Japanese man trying not to laugh during the song cracked me up.

[cornishphilosopher]

Pixie madness

here in Tokio

[JohnMooreification]

Pac-Man's not based on the Holocaust!

[XRavsterX]

Everytime I watch this, I feel sorry for the Japanese guy =P I still wonder...does he have any idea what's going on? =P

[ChickenWings103]

@XRavsterX Of course he does ^^ He's reading from a script ~ it's all acting.

[Raura0rz]

@XRavsterX I think he does! They probably shot this in some Japanese restaurant in the UK and hired some extras who understood English. I personally admire the chef behind them. How could he work and look so calm while this ridiculous conversation was going? lol

[Mullahgrrl]

@Raura0rz Maby green screen?

[arnold08]

@XRavsterX He's a proper actor, apparently (looked up on imdb). Name's Togo Igawa, has played in such movies as Memoirs of the Geisha and The Last Samurai. He's also the Japanese businessman in the IT Crowd :)

[S0undBite]

i thought they were paying out a real show

[chretiendutroyes]

Is this song for real?

[SketchyBack]

Bumsex!

[brionybrosnan]

Best sketch ever. The song just kills me <3

[sonofocelot]

YOU ALL LOOK LIKE PIXIES

[hyphz]

Can anyone tell what the chords are? It sounds like F, Dm, Am , Dm, G, C, F (C F) but I'm not sure.

[gentlerobot]

@hyphz I've got

F Dm Gm F

for the first two lines and

Bb Gm Am F Gm F

for the last two

the last two chords on each line have descending melody GG A G F G F

[HawthornOwl]

I don't even know why this is making me cry with laughter. XD

[piggyhoyahoya]

his face at 0:21 make me laugh.

[BigMac7780]

I almost tipped myself off a chair laughing. Hard to explain to everyone in the room because I had a pair of earphones in...

[TheLinz78]

As an atheist, I would like this sung at my funeral.

[josephstopps]

this scene is the funniest thing I have seen on the telly for a long long time

[spongiebungie]

health and good fortune XD the what !!!?? out loud funny..

[johnluvsluna]

love this sketch so much.

it should replace songs of praise.

[bassben04]

I love this, it's quaint, ridiculous and hilarious haha.

[AndyPhelan]

I want everyone to sing this at my Funeral! :D

[LucyAliice]

I always find comedy prgrammes like this funny, but I don't really laugh out loud. Until I saw THIS!

[adamwhair]

who do i want to praise? GOD!!!!

[maxdach]

absolute genius...

[gazereths1982]

All I want to do, All I want to do, All I want to do is praise him.

All I want to do, All I want to do, All I want to do is praise him.

What do I want to do? What do I want to do? What do I want to do?

Praise him.

Who do I want to praise? Who do I want to praise? Who do I want to praise?

GOOOOOD!

[CrispyClaire]

@gazereths1982 I love the other guy swaying along to his singing!

[joeysmithprojects]

I actually laughed out loud when I first watched this!

[GamerBomberHD]

Donnie Cosy lmao "i hope youll join me for a prayer and a pint" xD

[simeon94]

The part that makes me break down is where he suddenly and forcefully goes, 'GOOOOOOOOOOOD'. I spat my drink out when I first watched this.

[5COT5MAN]

LOL So funny. And I don't know why

[Beltania]

Which show does this parody? 'All I want to do' is find some actual episodes!

[thevoodoosailor]

@Beltania

I think its parodying songs of praise type shows not one show in particular

[spyke4995]

@Beltania You could try BBC iPlayer, though you'd need to use a proxy to pretend you are from England, if you aren't already.

[NickStedmon]

@Beltania Songs of Praise is te=he one that springs to mind, but there's probably many similar. It's also making the joke that pretty much all hymns have no real tune and are repetitive as hell XD

[hammy260]

@Beltania it reminds me a bit of a show called HIGHWAY which was on itv presented by Harry Seacombe.

[jazzx251]

@Beltania

"Songs of Praise" or "Highway" with Harry Secombe

[lemonade35]

So funny!!!

[thevoodoosailor]

I cant stop watching

[simonkane]

Ta.
