David Mitchell Reviews the Rave Scene in Charlie Brooker's 'How TV Ruined Your Life' - BBC Two

[inspironagain]

Coming up next, Richard Dawkins expresses his passion for scientology.

[Wrathwithin18]

hahahah That dude at the end is so fucking high LOL.

[Dungarth]

..Send David Mitchell to a Dizzee Rascal concert next!!!

[PianoWizzy]

He is SO uncomfortable and I want to hug him so badly that it's hilarious.

[eydiot909]

It's SLIPMATT ! Wow ! David Mitchell should be more bothered.

[sapicklez]

All I understood of that was

"blahblahblah Dancers

blahblah Glowsticks blahblahblah

Yeah baby"

[aaron9099]

@sapicklez That's EXACTLY what I heard too.

[Jinmane]

Haha this is like something out of Peep Show.

[purpleprinc3]

Who needs words when you have body language

[deadvideokid]

could someone subtitle slipmatt I'm missing like every other word

[666lonny666]

absolutly superb

[powamypow]

someone should start a petition and get the BBC to make this show for real

[mangrenade]

@powamypow The BBC should commission Rave Britannia as part of a series called "David Mitchell Is Utterly Uncomfortable". It would be a nice companion piece to Karl Pilkington's "An Idiot Abroad".

[JimBillBumblefuck]

@mangrenade Wouldn't that just be Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends but without the willingness to participate?

[DIGIxPUNKx1996]

David Mitchell's got lovely eyes...

[WhyDoIBotherAtAll]

Slipmatt's talking my language musically, Mitchell's talking my language in a comic sense, and @UrbanOspreys is talking shite. Anyone who see's the class bashing that he see's in this sketch is either a fuckwit, a troll or a sufferer of a neurological block on the perception of irony and basic comic conceits. Or they've got such massive fucking chip on their shoulder, that the sight of a middle class "square" like David joking around while Slipmatt (brilliantly) plays straight-man is obscured.

[Seigfreid]

Someone should make a happy hardcore tune using the quotes in this clip.

[WhyDoIBotherAtAll]

@Seigfreid If I post one in the next week, just know, it's your fault.

[Seigfreid]

@WhyDoIBotherAtAll

I look forward to the possibility...

[WhyDoIBotherAtAll]

@Seigfreid It's proving difficult to treat it as a straight vocal sample due to the volume of Humanoid in the background. Working on it.

[dymphmatic]

@WhyDoIBotherAtAll

I like your 'can do attitude'! If you manage it lemme know. would be a corker. 

[DrumTrimmings88]

I bet he thought this would be a laugh and didn't expect to be asked questions.

[russelledwards001]

you must have had viks rubbed on your back at some point...!

[Eightball69]

ace!

[myothernameistaken]

Notice how Mitchell blushes, lol.

[artstuX]

They really need to commission this programme for real!

:-D

[hmbnimbus]

It was a spoof, people! A spoof! Of tenuous celebrity tie-ins to products or professions or television programmes that have little or nothing to do with the person themselves. I thought it was the PERFECT parody!!!!! :D

[sonofcod]

thanks breaksmonkey :-)

[breaksmonkey]

Humanoid - Stakker Humanoid original mix)

[sonofcod]

what's the rave tune in the background?

[OhYeWithLittleFaith]

1:01 is an absolutely beautiful face. Perfect for the expression he was trying to achieve.

[mdunc1974]

It's really worrying that most people here don't realise this is a spoof.

[baward]

Insigtful and profound, typical of David Mitchell. Thanks David.

[DarkScott1]

Big ups Slipmatt, got loads of his tapes from back in the days

[mrbreaker101]

David Mitchell probably listens to Green Day or something equally crap.

[Sniz4402]

@mrbreaker101 he doesn't listen to music at all

[OhYeWithLittleFaith]

@mrbreaker101 That or Chopin

[mrbreaker101]

@OhYeWithLittleFaith Chopin is good though

[OhYeWithLittleFaith]

@mrbreaker101 I know, that's why he'd listen to it.

[icecreamscuseme]

@mrbreaker101 He once said the only albums he has ever bought were by Phil Collins and Susan Boyle and they were enough to put him off music forever :P.

[Mrblong74]

@djsota Cheers for putting the link to my page up mate ☺☺

[goulygliu]

i wonder how long it it before some one loops "I've always been passionate about rave culture" to rave music. Iol David would be unable to cope with odd coloured shoes.

[markdr123]

Just about the funniest thing I've seen forever.

[UrbanOspreys]

When did comedians stop being funny? Before or after television producers started beign paid licence fee money to slag off their competitors? Or not?

[nden85]

@UrbanOspreys what do you mean?

[hyenateethx]

@UrbanOspreys The joke that they're making is that tv producers are so desperate to give anyone a show they don't care how utterly irrelevant the person hosting it is to the content, like David Mitchell hosting a rave culture show, come on!

[schranzpizza]

back to the oldskool!

[diyblonde]

love that bewildered look towards the camera at the end!

[UrbanOspreys]

Thank God youth culture is dead, eh David. Thank God snobbery and v-neck jumpers priced it out of existence, eh? 

[nden85]

@UrbanOspreys what?

[UrbanOspreys]

@Goatboy46 You are right. it was re-edited to make working class people look like f*cking idiots. As per.

[Doubleclick]

@UrbanOspreys It isn't. It's filmed to make Slipmatt look like the expert and to make Mitchell look like an uncomfortable spare wheel, just like all the celebrities pretending to remember things they were never a part of on TV clip shows. It's a joke, and if it makes anybody look stupid then it's the middle class memory tourists.

[vegunited06]

what happened to slipmatt's ponytail?

[Goatboy46]

it is funny and I'm a massive Charlie Brooker and David Mitchell fan but there's no way that footage of him is filmed at the same time as DJ Slipmatt is talking to him.

[Arachnalicious]

@Goatboy46

Why? He's not mocking ravers, he's mocking TV.

[wanjeeta]

David Mitchell is a comic genius. Long may he continue!

[spiffcorgi]

Is it weird I feel dead sorry for the guy cos he's dead into what he's talking about and David openly doesn't give a shit XD

[pixie631]

I luv this hilarious I know the feeling and david looks strangely attractive to me in this ;)

[UrbanOspreys]

Working class people are such idiots, aren't they David!? Some of them haven't even been to Cambridge. Imagine!

[luvdfool]

@UrbanOspreys It's easy to get to by train, stop being a dick.

[goulygliu]

@UrbanOspreys uv got it wrong, this isn't a piss take of the working class, its a piss take of David and how someone as conventional and geeky as him would never be a raver & that's why it so funny.

[steph895]

Oh this is wonderful. David Mitchell's body language alone makes this hilarious. 'I've always been passionate about rave culture.'

[TheSweetjonny]

Haha, God I love David Mitchell :D

[purpleprinc3]

Mitchell didn't need to speak, his body language spoke for itself haha

[HTprods]

Which 'How TV Ruined Your Life' episode is this from? I don't remember it.

[Gallifrey103]

@HTprods It's next weeks.

[southy354]

@HTprods It's a preview clip for the one next week.

[NHuntingtonWhitely]

@HTprods It's on next week.

[funkycoder1]

[vonhaig]

[MongTheMerciless]

[thedjslipmatt]

Didn't realise there was gonna be a promo... 1st time I've seen any of it tonight haha

[akaBanKsy]

@thedjslipmatt Look! it's the real DJ Slipmatt!

[mohaskib]

wen da guy sez u must have had dat mitchells face is sayin no i neva

[ProjectLonely]

God i miss raves and clubbing. Cant even smoke in clubs now. How shit is that!!

[mrbreaker101]

Despite hardcore still sounding as fresh as fuck, the average 18-yr-old clubber wasn't even born when a lot of the tracks came out. Just a point...

[Arachnalicious]

@mrbreaker101

Indeed. Curse their youth! It is something we must hold against them. Obviously posers.

[bloodypedant]

@archana140 time travel! :)

[n2003cc]

lol. so true though. i saw a documentary about cannabis on bbc3 that was presented by martin fowler off eastenders, who had apparently had a few drags when he was younger. all hail king charlie!

[Hysteria98]

Ho shit! Slipmatt! Hellova surprise, legend DJ!

[freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez]

David's face at the end is priceless.This whole video is,to be fair. xD

[bloodypedant]

@archana140 he doesn't know! Charlie Brooker kidnapped him! :)

[wizztay]

reminds me a bit of a daily show interview.

[Interloper1976]

Which episode is this from?

[Andraste77]

That was irony made manifest in one minute, 12 seconds.

[ohhellomynameislydia]

That was simultaneously incredibly awkward and hilarious. 

[123456yum123456]

Brilliant. I want a recording of David Mitchell saying "I've always been passionate about rave culture" to use as my ringtone.

[homerjayproductions]

@123456yum123456 get a program called Audio Hijack & u can

[fiat131abarth1]

@123456yum123456 - It's what my ringtone is as of now! :D

[ArcadePerfect]

Poor Mr. Mitchell doesn't look at all comfortable!

[Segmentrecords]

Yes i can just imagine David Mitchell with a dummy in his mouth and having someone rub vicks on his back... Not!

[lotusjumps]

DJ Slipmatt- Those were the days, be nice to go back though, wouldn't it?

David Mitchell- :/

[Choo69]

David Mitchell :DDDDDD
