[upallhours9]

great stuff

[MoogleFTW]

Thought I'd better ejoy watching these while I can. I've only got schintysix days to live.

[napalmocean]

These two are by far my favorite comedy duo!

[superjerk281]

See that? It's made of chicken! Kill it, free chicken!

[CaesiusX]

I meant "That Mitchell and Webb *Situation* is even better!" I typed "Sound" below in error.

[CaesiusX]

Thank you Gem85! Your effort in making these avail. is VERY much appreciated! I only just discovered these two with The M & W Look via streaming on NTFLX's Instant Play. But The Mitchell and Webb Sound is even better! I have rarely ever enjoyed a show so consistently. I can't even think of a single sketch that I would actually consider "bad."

Thanks again!

[Itsaliarromeo]

Would be better with an audience laughing - but still funny

[muffin8or]

@Itsaliarromeo

You don't know when to laugh yourself? The appeal of no audience is that you can gauge how funny you actually found the sketch.

[Itsaliarromeo]

@muffin8or Well you know, laughing is a difficult skill to master. But i just think, in my opinion, it somehow amplifies the funniness when you have studio audience laughing, plus i have never found it too tricky to tell how funny something is.

[houdini2233]

@Itsaliarromeo Being told when to laugh with canned laughter does not amplify 'funniness' as much as it gives the monkeys something to copy.

[sbrookes1991]

"Fucking eggs come out of there asses" lol

[nickdc1987]

it's literally made of chicken! You kill it, you've got free chicken!

[666lonny666]

wish there was a laugh track or audience or something...

[Gellis2009]

@666lonny666 thats strange. most people fucking cant stand the laughing track

[Cakerolled]

@666lonny666

You must be a stupid American.

[666lonny666]

@Cakerolled wrong. I'm a middleclass Englishman. Maybe it's because i watched this alone but it seemed a little empty to me. you don't need to cry about my feelings though. much love

[amylove999]

in the poison sketch... doesn't Rob look like Martin Landeau in "Ed Wood"?

[elpanch0]

BUT I DON"T LIKE MILK!

[hippotoast]

Judging by how good this series was, it makes you think that quite possibly That Mitchell and Webb Look fell victim to interference from the dreaded BBC producers looking to make the show as broad as possible. A camel is a horse designed by a committee and all that.

[Willwillwritehiswill]

I spat tea all over my monitor at the "down in one" bit.

[Ives4321]

watched all of these videos yesterday nd its so good i have to watch em again! great!

[someoldcliche]

We'll have drinks later.

[peepiepo]

Can someone tell me why this is so very very good, and the Mitchell and Webb Look so poor.

[someoldcliche]

@peepiepo Probably because this doesn't have a laughtrack.

[Blitzaking]

@peepiepo They're both excellent. But the laugh track on 'Look' makes it a bit tacky.

[Jez32uk]

@peepiepo that mitchell and webb look has produced some absolute gems the only problem with it is it tends to repeat sketch ideas too many times, i.e. get me hennimore, the event televisual gameshow, arguing parents etc.

[CaesiusX]

@Jez32uk Talk about repeating sketches... Have you seen Little Britain? It had potential, but they quite literally do the same skits w/essentially the same joke each time. Not just restricted to a single episode either. They may change a location or add characters. But it is the same joke. It is hard to explain, but you really need to watch LB to see just what repeating a skit *really* is. A few get a slightly different resolution in the final episode of season 1.

[Jez32uk]

@CaesiusX finally someone who gets what i've been saying about sketch shows of recent times.

[usernameunauthorised]

i took me a second to realise that wasn't an actual woman at 6:35, and then i lol'd

[Libby7]

@usernameunauthorised

ME TOO!

[donnybilo]

is the poison sketch a reference to a famous film?

[CamTheSage]

@donnybilo Suspicion. A 1941 Hitchcock film I think.

[Baronofevil]

Down in one!

*Splosh*

[MattMatt39]

"It comes out the fucking ground!"

[Idnarmadur]

Robert Webb is very handsome in the poison sketch :x

[doctorwho888]

this is terrible...

[buckbumble]

i love m and w situation, and the lack of a laughter track

[1991PatMan]

WTF?? Love Mitchell and Webb but this is a bit weirder than normal.

[bzM2bH]

Thanks for uploading these. YouTube suddenly just got a whole lot better.

[djbloodshot]

the last couple seconds of the intro really reminds me of the last few seconds of the kids in the hall intro

[Mysterioux]

Some are a bit off the mark, though, like the spoon design one. A bit laboured. But the one where the man asks people to be quiet because it's making his wife's evening comparatively miserable is so relatable and funny.

[Mysterioux]

I love this. To me it's a lot better than their later sketch shows - but it makes sense that those are more popular.

This actually more closely resembles 'Jam' and other offbeat sitcoms which don't always quite have a punchline and have a dark subject matter. Especially with that sort of floaty music in the background instead of canned laughter. It's a shame - Mitch and Webb should write some more serious, dark humour series, I bet they'd be brilliant at it.

[RockyBiscuits]

Comes out the fucking ground, couldn't believe it xD

[patrickchou321]

woot! 999th viewer =D

[simonofhell]

[nagyjani]

These spoon jokes are hurting me.

[TR0LL2R0CKS]
