Banana Dance - That Mitchell and Webb Look

[XatEpicJona]

lmfao "What do you think?" "Shit"

[hairy0pothead]

"He just says yes to the last thing he's heard doesn't he?" "Yes"

[UnaccountablySelfy]

Why wasn't this actually a background vid for the DVD menu. I feel cheated...

[fleabag500]

@UnaccountablySelfy

it was

[WinstonUponBog]

Sad to hear, Soushinsei...it still gets me every time. best mid-work-day pick me up ever. BTW, I heard a numberwang in an elevator! lots of people apparently trying to sort which floor but all you could hear was one,... one, one...) I felt like i found the holy grail! LMAO

[crl1089]

And the winner, of Lets Dance for Comic Relief, is..........

See what I did there :P

[arkayblesses]

@crl1089

Made three grammatical errors!

[crl1089]

@arkayblesses the commas were used to create pauses, they are allowed to be used for that. As for starting a sentence with "and" you can complain to the show about that, not me.

[arkayblesses]

@crl1089

Actually, I counted two complete misuses of commas and the lack of a question mark at the end of a question.

Also, in your response describing the proper use of commas, you used one incorrectly. The first comma should be a semicolon.

[crl1089]

@arkayblesses the commas were being used to insert extra information, the sentence could read, "and the winner is...." but the commas can be used to insert more detail, the question mark point doesn't make sense as it is not a question, it is the announcement of the winner. I left it for people to work out that it was Webb, clearly you missed the point. never mind

[arkayblesses]

@crl1089

Either you are using the words "See what I did there" as a question (which I predict most would assume) or you are commanding the reader to actually see what you did.

The commas in the first sentence of that first comment are used improperly. Look it up if you must. It would look much better if it had no commas at all.

[crl1089]

@arkayblesses I disagree with you on the commas, I can see your point with the question mark but i still think what i typed was correct, we can agree to disagree

[arkayblesses]

@crl1089

A correct way to write that sentence is like this:

"And the winner of Let's Dance for Comic Relief is..."

Anyways, I agree with you that we should not be arguing over grammar in the context of this video.

[FreshlySqueezedGrug]

When was this on the ABC?

[kght222]

CANNIBAL!

[TheAverageFox]

He's adorable.

[chailizard]

...freaks.

[whatsorryiminabag]

LOL just kind of vibe it. Vibe a banana dance haha

[Bloomerz100]

"Shit."

[bastian149]

Wouldn't it be funny if this was actually on the dvd menu

[chinesechicken89]

When you watch this, you just know that nothing else in the world matters.

[usernameunauthorised]

I would watch the hell out of David just sitting there for 5 minutes

[frickinradical]

CANIBOLISM!

[piedlourde]

Oh David, his hair is so mesmerizingly... floppy.

[battson123]

ITS PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME LOL

[velocitybird]

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

[LiberaLib]

@Soushinsei it's better when you actually see the banana dance in the end credits.

[usernameunauthorised]

When was this show on ABC1? I only discovered this show very recently through the internet and have been watching many sketches on youtube and it has become one of my all-time favourite shows, and then i found the dvds on the online ABC shop and realised it must have been on ABC at some point, now i see this! with the little ABC1 watermark in the corner..! So when was it on? I'm curious.

(I feel bad about not watching it when it was on.)

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

@usernameunauthorised I cant exactly recall when but it has been some time since I've watched it on ABC

[caitlinniamh]

@usernameunauthorised In Australia it is on foxtel. Mondays at 9:30 on UKTV. I havent seen it on commercial tv. ABC shops often sell stuff that is exclusive to foxtel

[usernameunauthorised]

@caitlinniamh cool I didn't know that, thanks. I wish I had Foxtel :'(

[BadSanta1995]

i find mitchell funnier than webb here :P although that dance is epic win :D

[snakeboy1111]

I'd like to eat his banana

[Gorillazfan1400]

Funniest end to a TV episode ever ^^

[michy7x]

CLASSIC :D ahaha

[rusherf4g]

what the f-

[NoGufff]

Hello to all the Documenting Reality whores out there !!

[eilzomalzo]

DON'T EXPLAIN THE JOKE.

[josephinebijoux]

1:29

[tekhiun]

why is this so awesome ???? D:

[jaz88pa]

I have no idea why a man dressed as a banana dancing is funny but it is!

[abracadabble]

The random bits of banana falling off of the one he's eating, combined with the frenetic jumping, make this hilarious.

[margieee18]

eeee! ABC1! ♥

[MasterofMayhem1394]

This must have been series 2 then.

[BlueDiscProductions]

Series 1 Episode 1...

[Paravou]

Cannibalism!

[XNo1XLuvzXMeX]

LOL Awesome dance :D I want to dress as a banana too! XD

[tessa2729]

everything about that dance was perfect.

[goulygliu]

better than the flash dance!

[imahimfan]

anyone know the name of the song?

[TherealMrChristophel]

Who'd watch that?

Freaks...

LOLLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOL­OL

[Vinny0151]

did they actually do that for the dvd background?

[neomp5]

why has no one dubbed this over with "peanut butter jelly time"?

[kellydavy]

because that would be shit

[neomp5]

hence the humour

[kellydavy]

@neomp5 duh

[efagels]

the joke is the classic comedy music

[TherealMrChristophel]

cos we wouldn't taint our fantasic comedy with your american Shite-on-a-Stick.

[neomp5]

i resent that. as long as the british monarch remains on my money i think i have a right not to be called american by british people.

[TherealMrChristophel]

srry........WHERE THE HELL HAS YOUR MILITARY BEEN FOR THE LAST 60 YEARS?

and my point remains valid This + peanutbutter jelly time= HERESY!

[neomp5]

1: keeping the peace

2: this isn't exactly high brow. the thing i don't get about british comedy snobbery, it's always about the brainless stuff, fish dances and yakkity sax and so forth. a dancing banana is a dancing banana. if you're going to put british comedy on a pedestal, focus on the smart stuff.

[TherealMrChristophel]

Actually, if you look you can see this is just for the credits....

AND MITCHELL AND WEBB DO PLEANTY OF SMART STUFF AS WELL!

[neomp5]

yet you are bowing down in worship of a dancing banana, whilst crusading against another dancing banana, because of nationalism?

[TherealMrChristophel]

No, because i'm sure that Robert broke down in crazy laughter cos he realised how stupid he looks now, whilst the Other Banana took it strait faced

[neomp5]

the dancing banana animation isnot itself funny. it's one of those jokes that isn't funny, but the act of referencing it is funny. again a comparison with yakkity sax is appropriate.

[crazedmongoose2003]

@neomp5

It's not really about the dance itself, more about the setup.

For some reason deadpan setups and deliveries and a few other things work so much better in a British accent. Bad luck for us aussies and canucks and yanks but you know...

[betterthanurbutt]

only robert webb could pull a shit joke like that off

brilliant

[FanOfAll]

i bet he had fun doing that

[smellyellie1990]

This shouldn't be funny but it really is!

[BigMac7780]

"Well, who's gonna watch that?"

"Freaks"

(That's me)

[KrookedRot]

#haha.

[snufkindarling]

this is one of the best things in the world

[fuckutube21]

freaks xD

[Sereh182]

so funny (:

[Kwyjibo1992]

any1 know what the music is called?

[MissTwinx]

i watched this thing stoned & i almost crapped myself laughing!!!

[MissTwinx]

one of my most favorite bits!^__^

[jackchrisevans]

Webb: Who's gonna watch that?

Mitchell: ...Freaks.

[ww1flyingace]

That was shit

:)

[soulmate7]

I think these guys are brilliant-they can take such simple ideas and transform them into something side splittingly funny. Robert Webb is a genius.

[zionravescene]

They're like male versions of French and Saunders.

[91nintendo]

Except that they're actually funny.

[dim432]

and that's why he won lets dance for comic relife

[bellebrett]

The chunk of banana that bounces off Webby and falls to the floor...it kills me every time! XD

[snoddle]

Love it!

And to think, this is the guy who became the Flashdance king =D

(although the high kick maybe hints at what was to come)

[jtcfc]

people are so stupid lol you've got 7 thumbs down. they obviously dont understand that you were saying that you find this funny but dont know why. me too.

[oywidapoodles]

So did they use this for the DVD background? If not, they definitely should have! XD

[TheyCallMeSophie]

it's like one of them got hold of a banana costume and wanted to think of someway they could use it in the show.

so...the banana dance!

[uwi2]

D'you want me to do the banana dance for you, dear A?

[iloveheathledger2k9]

did u see his face in the banana .... that was the funniest part

[TaylorKingMusic]

So fucking funny!!

[kgdsmile]

rofl i love him!! xD

[a2n2queen]

I'm crying now... that is effing hysterical!!

[RivaJane]

I guess I'm a freak then...

...love you, David x

[Squoffle]

OH MY GOD, HAHAHAHAHA

I can't stop laughing!

[mysteriousgoo]

who's gonna watch that?

Freaks

...that makes me laugh more than the banana dance!

[Benjaminnit666]

this is classic hahaha :D

does anybody know what the song in the background is called?

[lyinglolita]

This makes me giggle everytime I see it.

[JessicaLloyd91]

somehow this is ALWAYS funny

just little things like when he kicks his leg in the air

and when he suddenly puts his hands up at the start.

HILARIOUS

[SallyCinnamon87]

Haha,brilliant! <3

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

[Enk64]

I just pissed myself {:D

[PeteMP1992]

dance webb dance

[JoeParkinson8]

i think i just broke a rib from laughing so hard..

[pearldiver78]

The guy loves dancing, doesn't he? (I think his Flashdance proves it, but this is good evidence!)

[trezeafriendly]

what the heck was in that banana he looked like he was having a seizure or something

[JayReptile]

if anyone watches this without laughing then i feel genuinly sorry for you

[TeamFortressHeavy]

who the hell brought something as hidieously unfunny as family guy up on a mitchell and webb video?

[abilou1990]

haha iv just watched a video of him dancing to flash dance from bbc1 lets dance for comic relief, he is amazing!!!

[todore00]

HAHAHA

[Rita3500]

O.O WTF?

lol that was AMAZING!

[beckyj1983]

I LOVE IT

[zhveer]

Peanutbutter jelly time!

[kleptomanicscousers]

you mean the unfunny version that was stolen off this and used on a show that is heavily based off another show

[AutumnDevi]

actually....the family guy one was based on the internet meme that featured a banana dancing to a song, "Peanut Butter Jelly time". that video and Family Guy are completely unrelated to this, so they didn't steal it.

[kleptomanicscousers]

either way this is a lot funnier

[bitchklik]

his dance is friggin awesome!!!

ROFL xD

[rfn5]

such basic, fanfuckingtastic comedy. can't help but giggle till it hurts, press replay and go on and on. awesome.

[HonestySavesLies]

Ahaha hahah hahahaaa oh it hurts! XD

[0oGamerNoob0o]

[PeteMP1992]

[tunny2000]

[Soushinsei]

Hmm... I'm not sure if this is funny or not. What do you think?

[Iceferno]

Ofcourse it is! It's one of the best moments in TM&WL :)

[StickmanGnoblar]

Yes. Yes with a capital "Y"
