Mitchell & Webb - Stuntman

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

Wouldn't falling off a horse be trivial in comparison to the things most stuntmen do? Or is that the whole point of the the sketch? :P

[Qw3rtypop]

@PaladinswordSaurfang

That's the whole point. Well, even if you don't find the joke funny at least you recognised the punchline.

[toucanist]

Erdogan could do it

I actually prefer shows without the fake laughter. I never did like having to listen to a bunch of pre-recorded idiots-I want to hear the actors, and actresses.

[handsomebrick]

Stuntmen aren't paid to be lunatics, they're paid because of their familiarity with the equipment and methods that make apparently loony activities into safe ones. So this is a more plausible scenario than it appears.

[highestsettings]

You see how really unfunny this is when there is no laugh track.

[Assasinsweed]

@highestsettings I found this really funny without a laugh track, it's more like you didn't find it funny without the laugh track. Everyone is different.

[Anergyne]

@highestsettings If you need the help of a laugh track to tell you when something is funny, then yeah, I suppose the world would be a dull place.

[highestsettings]

@Anergyne I don't, it just accentuates the fact it's not funny when there isn't even fake laughter.

lol David looks like a chav but talks poshy.

[ChipArgyle]

We'd all live in a much safer world if only we thought like he does.

[Treblaine]

You know stunt men are in the business of safely doing things that make them appear dangerous.

[MajikkaniHand]

Falling off a horse is dangerous?

You know what this means....

I'm BATMAN.

@MajikkaniHand

dont u meen superman? just curious.

[MajikkaniHand]

@gazzab2012 Nah, I don't have superpowers, just (apparently) massively-improbable skills. ^^

[gazzab2012]

@MajikkaniHand

ah ok its just the guy who played superman, christopher reeve, fell off of a horse and was paralysed i thought u might have got the wrong superhero.

[buttersyrupnpancakes]

@gazzab2012 i thought he fell off a bike. but of course it was a horse.

[LloydDutch]

@MajikkaniHand Surely you mean Superman!

[MrMustacho]

it's funny becouse it's true

[The1stPoster]

bahaha love his get up

[chailizard]

I don't get it.

[bobdy9988]

@chailizard Haha really dude? :O

[chailizard]

@bobdy9988 yeah really. Could you explain it, please?

[bobdy9988]

@chailizard Yeah mate. OK basically, stunt men are trained professionals at doing stuff that looks/is painful and/or epic. The joke is in this scene how the agent suddenly has an awareness of this danger and questions it. Hahaha, get it? If not let me know man hahahahahah

[chailizard]

@bobdy9988 haha ok I get it. I usually get this stuff I swear. Feel kinda silly now.

[BaileysBeads]

These kind of people are very recognisable in the groups I work in.

[255ad]

@BaileysBeads what group?
