Well, this one is rather depressing. Aww, poor guy who thought his butler was his significant other.
(Once again I love Mitchell and Webb's willingness to appear as gay characters - hurrah for treating things as normal and in no way something to avoid)
David and Robert both seem to be wearing green contact lenses in this sketch - makes them look so different. A friend of mine once did that and almost freaked me out because I noticed there was something different about him but I couldn't figure out what it was.
@worldaccordingtogarp I wouldn't have noticed but you are right. I don't really usually notice people's eyes, but David Mitchell's have always freaked me out a bit. I don't think it is because they are (usually) almost black (mine are like that) but maybe the irises are bigger than normal?
While this breakfast may have been a lovely gesture from someone who I thought had been in love with me for forty years, coming from a professional servant, it tastes like shit.
I like how he thinks 15 years of neglect can be solved by a bunch of flowers... and how quickly he steels himself after a supposed 40 year relationship.
hahah

@CCNuck I agree, and the way they draw absolutely no attention to it at all is extremely gratifying.

@CCNuck I loved the end of the supervillain sketch "Would you care to join me later for some... light refreshment?" "Do you mean anal sex?"

I wonder at what point he stopped remembering that he was married to his wife and started believing he was involved with the butler...
