Mitchell & Webb: Alien invasion

[darconisbob]

He's called The Doctor, not Doctor Who! Doctor Who is the name of the show, The Doctor is the character. I know aliens are in the process of vaporizing you, but get it right!

[Georgel101]

I wanted to hear about the bank of englands raising of interest rates

[roadjam]

Don't most crabs go away with a bit of shampoo?

[IoEstasCedonta]

Next up: The Quiz Broadcast.

[kilmindaro3]

@IoEstasCedonta

Blessed be the Regulations

[treker999]

@IoEstasCedonta

They keep us alive for their sport.

[Fenumenepa]

OH GOD! WHAT DO I CLICK ON?

[manaburn]

I know someone who lives on Earth, and if you were to hear how they go on, you'd be glad the crabs eventually made their way there.

[TheFamousEccles]

I'm a little disappointed that there isn't actually anything at the website at the end.

[LynottFan7]

@harkeill

Dude, the mars rover found fossilised microorganisms in ice pockets on the surface of mars.

[norsknerd]

@LynottFan7 No, they found traces of what could be remnants of micro-organisms, could be, not proven.

[harkeill]

@genxxxersize 'KNOWN fact that life DID exist on Mars'? Where thr fuck are you getting your informatiin from? The fucking 'annunaki'? Put down the pipe, friend, you're only making yourself a fucking moron!

[genxxxersize]

To the people that find alien theorists “laughable”, well your arrogance is one day going to kill you. Who are we to believe that our planet, one of the youngest in our galaxy/universe, is the only planet supporting life? Heck, it’s already a KNOWN fact that life DID exist on Mars.So yeah, if you’re the one laughing at alien/ufo theorists, then you’ll be one of the first casualties, because your arrogance and ignorance has blinded you and led you to believe something totally unbelievable.;o)

[NLarsen1989]

Lol at Webb, he still struggled to say molecular evaporation @ 0:37

[3edere]

This is brilliant!

- "Say what u like about the alien killer crabs but by god they can organise an invasion. We have a lot to learn from them though we better be quick"

I'm still laughing!

[TheMogulmonster]

Congestion Charge hehe

[101Tonia101]

Why am I watching this after having done 200 sit ups? Now my stomach kills every time I laugh... and that's about every sentence! :P

[Thelittlecherub]

@101Tonia101 200 sit ups? are u for real? who the fuck wrights that stuff on youtube. you arrogant, self obsessed prick. even if u did just do 200 sit ups, which i doubt, why do u think anyone who watches this video will even care let alone be impressed. you sad fucker, trying to boast over the internet how many sit ups you can do! your comment made me laugh so much i couldn't breath, which was bad as i had just finished a marathon and fought off a tiger and i really needed some air. you dick!!!

[101Tonia101]

@Thelittlecherub - I was actually commenting on how great these guys are. The script, the acting and the timing is perfect - the best ever comedy duo! I genuinely am laughing at every sentence.

And yeah, maybe I was a bit arrogant. But at least I can spell the word "write" correctly, and formulate a proper argument without resorting to swear words every other sentence. (In case you're wondering, I'm a dancer and 200 sit ups is no problem - it's just painful when I watch these incredible guys!)

[tiopepe002]

And then Disctric 9 started.......

[1337ontoast]

wouldnt it be cool if this actually happened

[Kadima951]

"Where's doctor who when you need him"

"In fiction I should imagine" -classic

[lorcan0c]

Ah yes, "Robotic Crabs"...

[goldendragon185]

die



[Woodthorn]

And click on what?! WHAT?!

[SKnight8046]

love this parody of war of the worlds, take lessons tom cruise ;)

[xHugoxN7]

mass effect 3

[TheMaragil]

They forgot to say that you shouldn't take any dangers etc... :D

[jekquirock]

I love the way they interpret what the media would do if this happened in real life. Genius

[Andri0t]

@jekquirock Maybe you know somebody affected by the london riots? And if not what would you imagine it to be like, please inform us about your ad hoc reckon. It was actually pretty amusing considering I was thinking of this sketch all along, but made worse by the fact I was surrounded by gravy-sipping racists who genuinely though they knew the solution - I'll omit it for fear of being distasteful.

[ombranox]

That's why Professor Death didn't want to use his inventions for military applications! The crabs must be descended from the Armored Scorpion Of Death! I guess Major Agnew got his way after all!

[MrLightPuffPass]

@ombranox What the fuck are you blabbering about?

[dmoevansable]

@MrLightPuffPass Mr ombranoxs comment was a reference to another sketch by Mitchell and Webb. This, in my opinion, was rather hilarious but the foul poke that was your commment seemed to sully the hilarity.

[ombranox]

@dmoevansable THANK YOU.

[dmoevansable]

@ombranox anything to help out Mitchell and Webb!!

[findnpost]

i tried to log on to the webcam, but says it doesn't exsist conspiracy me thinks...

[OktoberSunset]

It should have totally ended with a giant claw crushing them. 

[pearlsnz]

Where's Doctor Who when you need him!!!! *giggle*

[mrfrankincense]

Is this a reference to immigration?

[psychoslayer1993]

This looks like a job for Commander Shepard.

[WhatWeMakeProduction]

Are you sure they're crab-like and not squid-like? Because If so they're a few hundred years early. I'm pretty sure there's a fee for that.

[garethb1961]

The post modern nightmare

[quijibo81]

Still, at least all of those who perished didn't have to watch The Catherine Tate Show afterwards :D

[JamesCFraser]

bbc[dot]co[dot]uk/watchusfry isn't a valid URL. Lying cunt.

[HerraTohtori]

Mass Effect 3 viral marketing. Glorious.

[DrunkRussian2]

@HerraTohtori Ah yes, "Reapers", the immortal race of sentient starships allegedly waiting in dark space. We have already dismissed that claim.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

[wprundv]

giant alien enemy crabs all they need to do is attack its weak point for massive damage

[42upupandaway]

Is this The Event?

[TheMrCFH]

They should use Doctor Death's Death ray

[crazytosh1]

click on what? CLICK ON WHAT!?

[coppurt]

This should be broadcasted in Belgium, people would love it to bits over here.

[Gellis2009]

20 people thought this was a real news broadcast

[Mryorkshirepudngravy]

That was a funny sketch, but what's your opinion about a comedy sketch discussing alien invasion? Would you like to see more comedy sketches of news reports based on individual's perceptions being considered vastly more important than the factual information. Maybe you don't have an opinion but know someone who does. Please leave a comment.

[Nexius8]

Hearing Webb say molecular evoporisation is much funnyer once you have seen the bloopers.

[Conway79]

"We have a lot to learn from them, though we'd better be quick."

[MagikGimp]

Wow, Mitchell was fat back then.

[hollyrogs]

@zarkzify NO SHIT SHERLOCK

[MrOlivertucker]

THIS SHOULD BE THE BEGINING OF MASS EFFECT 3!!!

[sedgie09]

@MrOlivertucker lol there really selling the Osama story. I bet you can't even say REAPERS with out courseing a panic. REAPERS!.

[harrifer3000]

I, for one, Welcome our new ant overlords.

[Want2Find]

This is easy..

The Giant enemy crabs once invaded ancient Japan

You simply flip the crab on its back.

And attack it's weakpoint for MASSIVE DAMAGE!

Youtube: "Giant enemy crab" for further documentation

[jekquirock]

i love the way this is just interpreting what the news people will do when an alien invasion happens

[yourowndamnecho]

"So a massive and unstoppable alien attack threatens the Earth. What's YOUR reaction?"

[ZarkZify]

this is fake, do you hear this ''laughing'' fron the people around here?

[comanchio1976]

@ZarkZify Y'know I think you could be right! Since I saw this news report around three years ago, I haven't seen a single giant metallic laser firing alien crab! Well I tell a lie, I have seen a couple, but that was when I forgot to take my meds.

[ukstevey]

yeah but what do you reckon?

[lynnej1970]

an invasion is something that hapens liek a war,,you are all there,,with the ufos they are coming hardly like an invasion,,they are allowing ppl to see them,not an invasion at all.

[pragzter]

That's professional newscasting right there.

[TheB1gB0y]

20 people are the crab like alien invaders

[Cujoh]

I would like to see that webcam show.

[DarkKetzerisch]

Featured on TV Tropes! =D

[elchicoargento]

20 people didn't like their imminent molecular operation

[ytmndman]

I wanted to hear about the Bank of England's interest rates...

[ShowPolitics]

@ytmndman Its ok, they will be a 0.5% for the rest of our fucking lives.

[Gellis2009]

20 people thought this was real

[deanmullen10]

haha this is funny bt seriously if aliens wanted to invade earth they wud simply make a thought and a giant laser machine would evaporate earth, lets just hope aliens are cool xD

[voerendaal1]

we not belong the eart, the earth belong us !

[Avarhilien]

"We're running out of time, both on the program and, just, generally."

Brilliant.

[chastuk]

Maybe the crab aliens will treat the planet better than we do, lets hope so.

[OrangeJuicyWay]

Noivaland is also in trouble...

[RichardMNixon]

Good to know it's not only American tv news that's turned into a twitter feed.

[Lordgunslinger]

nice end XD... i hate the humanity.... and the bilderberg club.

[analogout]

Maybe you live on earth, or know someone who does, let us know!

[Mani231290]

"By God they can organise an invasion! We have a lot to learn from them, though we better we quick..." Spot on! xD

[Gismozo]

lol

[Ceighk]

click on whAT?

[trotskiii3]

Please dont eat my brains

[trotskiii3]

CANT WE JUST GET ALONG :)

[WildotheD1ldo]

these guys remind me of WKUK with funny accents

[macnos]

17 people are collaborating with the aliens.

[KrillLiberator]

Awesomeness; great parody of the public's need to discuss the news and air their view rather than listening and learning; watch all the ignorant racists come crawling out everytime a news story breaks!

And if you have an opinion on this story, why not keep it to yourself?

[JesterAzazel]

Decades later, the few that survive start to repopulate the earth, and some people deny that it ever happened..

[UnspecifiedCarnage]

"next, the Catherine Tate show" I think I'll take the aliens, thanks!

[gammyfootify]

if you live on earth or know someone who does.....

is the bbc news considered shit by even extraterrestials

[AQworldsbonezskullz]

at 1:32 look at the back of the fat guy

[frickinradical]

OMG....IT'S THE EVENT!!!!!!!!

[AnastasiaDragonash]

@frickinradical NO! DON'T TALK ABOUT THE EVENT!! DO NOT REMEMBER THE EVENT!

[frickinradical]

@AnastasiaDragonash PLEASE STAY INDOORS!!!

[JordanianPride80]

Aliens do exist..but they are waiting for Chuck Norris to die..so they can attack..

[Gellis2009]

@JordanianPride80 bruce lee already killed him. he is dead aswell. we are fucked

[bareakon]

@Gellis2009 it's okay, we still have Tony Jaa, Mr T and Brian Blessed

they'll protect us....

[drab100]

Where's Dr Who when you need him?

In fiction probably!

[schizoidboy]

Brilliant British humor.

[charliethetricorn]

Exterminate!

[dim432]

the daleks?

[ewaf88]

Better special effects than Independence day

[truffleshufflemm]

My maths teacher wrote this sketch!!!!

[GWChat]

@ people6 they took the piss out of fake laughter on monty python once, in one of the sketches they sed it was filmed infront of a live studio audience (like they do) but on the host's desk was a button clearly marked laughter and wen he pressed the button laughter came about and wen he took his finger off it very suddenly stopped which is ironic for a sketch show.

[LondonGamer986]

Love the first letter. H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.

[LoveOfRob]

do u reckon this is how the event started?

[people6]

hate the fake laughter

[bouncer599]

@people6

they preform their scetches on front of an audience you can pay pay to watch them shoot a few scenes live.

[BenjiMoore]

@people6

It's not fake laughter, many sketches are performed in front of an audience.

[NickStedmon]

WHy have I not seen this!? What series is this? I'm sure I've seen them all =S

[JaHawk2009]

DO NOT REMEMBER THE EVENT!! THE EVENT CAUSES DISTRESS!! REMAIN INDOORS!!

[1my2username3sux4lol]

That first letter was obviously from a daily mail reader :P

[xGODZILLAFIREFOXx]

why do 15 people not like this?

[super3slug]

2:10 "scream in background" RAPE!!!!!

[Bigqwertyuo1]

I love this:

Giant metal crabs! Must ring the news!

[purplebananafish]

"Where's Doctor Who when you need him? In fiction I imagine!"

[kid43332]

@purplebananafish We saw the video, we know what he said...

[purplebananafish]

@kid43332

sorry, your majesty! I won't ever do it again I promise! Please spare me!

[Vannereveilar]

go to BBC.co.uk slash watch us fry

[AppleScruffWitch]

I really like the theory of this being "the event." XD

[LiDaTV]

where's doctor death and his death ray when you need him...

[eaglestriker147]

@LiDaTV Scanning peaches I imagine!

[buffaloface1]

@LiDaTV he's doing a news report

[RedLinkN64]

Hey, maybe they won't vaporize these two and will instead use them as the mouthpiece for the enslaved remnants of the human race. I know how to find out: bbc.co .uk/watchusfry (all one word) to watch the behind the scenes webcam!

[Highstar25]

Giant enemy crab! hit it in it's weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE!

[RiquelminhoUK]

What's YOUR reaction? Are YOU affected by the end of civilization as we know it? What's YOUR perspective? Maybe you live on Earth, or know someone who does. How do you feel about it?

Genius.

[tinypaki]

they use the names: sophie and gerard..just like in peep show

[mortitia1986]

Love it :lol:

[bijou201]

I love this!!

[sporkafife]

Lol, this is hilarious! I still think I prefer the older version of this sketch that was on 'That Mitchell and Webb Sound' though...

[ibiza1290]

REMAIN INDOORS !

[Serperoth]

[geek]He's not Doctor Who, it's just "The Doctor"[/geek]

The Brits are hilarious. 'Nuff said:P

[guardcorp]

@Serperoth

[geek] doctor who is the doctor...its a catch phrase, I would assume you would know this being a geek, who are you? doctor, doctor who?

Makes sense [/geek]

[N64isgreat]

Yes. Yes we are.

[Serperoth]

@N64isgreat Obviously. British humour FTW.

[ApocalypseNext]

Where's Doctor Who when you need him?

[almightyjass]

this was on their radio show... disappointment...

[queenastilon]

"...for any of you who are for some reason more interested in the news than in what some people who don't know THINK about the news..." We're a dying breed.

[Tuddemy]

"Perhaps you live on earth, or know someone who does." HAHA!

[DimaBilanLove]

XD  I love this!!! In the end,"Watch us fry",it was,was,PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! XD

[peuterschmidt]

Lol, that was phuni

[Chairmaneoin]

not that new actually. D'you not remember the alien invasion last year?

[MasterofMayhem1394]

LOL good call.

[MCTheo3]

could this be "the event"?

[hazface]

@MCTheo3 NO. WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO THINK ABOUT THE EVENT. IT'LL CAUSE DISTRESS.

[Redbaron011]

Hahahah. Is this "the event" they talk about in the quiz show broadcast?

[hazface]

yes. but we aren't allowed to talk about it or remember it. ever.

[Redbaron011]

I wonder when the robots will show the sunday afternoon chillout DVD again.

[BenDy994]

DO NOT THINK OF THE EVENT!

Thank you and stay indoors.

[EREproductions]

@MCTheo3 Good idea!

[keo7keo]

@MCTheo3 Don't ask about the event

[UnspecifiedCarnage]

@keo7keo and remain indoors

[daughterofbastet]

@UnspecifiedCarnage Don't blink. Don't look away. Don't turn off the lights.

[Gellis2009]

This is quite sad :( lol

[Anan7777]

Will these so called aliens have to pay the congestion charge?

LOL!

[Blackpanfa]

I know thats what they all sound like!

[Isanion]

1:22

woooooooot, very glad they included that line. I've always been pretty miffed about why news shows include the random comments of utter no-bodies who've been watching through a web-browser and imediately jump on the comment box to blabber their stupid opinion on whatever it is they've just watched...

oh wait.

[Thisara2350]

Nice! ;)

[ednuttah]

This is from their Radio 4 show 2007, I believe, only the Scritp is reversed Mitchell orates Webbs lines.

[cookieflower]

I wish Doctor Who were real... the 9th Doctor, that is.

[agent0192b]

christopher ecleston yeah?

[cookieflower]

Oh no, I was a numpty.

I meant tenth.

[Lala2616]

It's quite morbid the humour in this, isn't it?

Love it though!

[starscouter]

How did you know?! D:

[IbeeejayI]

WOW, I got thumbed down, for that?

Just so's you know I was making a point that people will say the stupidest things on youtube regarding the reality of a video. Oh Dear
