mitchell and webb cheese argument

[Nessylikesstuff]

Edam is coated in wax. Like many cheeses. Porte Salu has a breadcrumb-based skin. Some cheeses, like Bré, have mould for a skin.

[trje246]

i wonder if this was scripted, or just a behind the scenes look? lol

[thepropmonkey]

Who else has done one of the followings things after watching this:

1) Immediately gone and looked up how cheese is made

2) Started using Mitchell's "lot of anger!" at the end when arguing with people in real life.

[XPoppycockX]

I HATE it when you know someone is wrong but don't know enough about the subject to prove them wrong. I spend my life being David Mitchell from this sketch

[Jcolinsol]

@XPoppycockX

I particularly when I further go on to do research that then verifies my rightitude.

But, in the end, it's such a self-defeating way to behave, trying to defend a point that you don't actually understand well enough to argue. It's probably better to just learn to let it go and listen.

[thefolactricjilt]

milk + rennet + time= cheese

[flashyfish99]

@thefolactricjilt When do they use the kiln then?

[Alfalotter]

i like the description

[SourExplosion]

i was reading a little house on the prairie book and they described how to make cheese and i said "so thats how you put the fucking skin on!"

[TurdFergusonrbd]

Could you dickheads please do us all a favour and keep talking about how cheese IS actually made? We all watched this video, not because it's funny and entertaining, but because we actually want to know how cheese is made. Thanks, ballbags.

[TheWonderfulWombat]

Technically, Webb is right. You do pasteurize the milk before you make it into cheese. Ha! Take that, Mitchell!

[lordsummerisle87]

@TheWonderfulWombat

But you don't HAVE to. Bet the wasn't much Pasteurisation going on before the 19th century, but plenty of cheesemaking.

[AngusTheWolf]

im probably gonna start a flame war but, how IS cheese made?

[1stcrayvenaa]

@AngusTheWolf You get milk, and wait for it to err, not ferment exactly, but you err wait and err scrape off err... look you separate the curds and whey.

[AngusTheWolf]

@1stcrayvenaa this isnt a nursery rhyme!

[jbreckmckye]

@AngusTheWolf You put bacteria in milk, and heat it. Then you add an enzyme called Rennet (you get it from cow stomachs). The bacteria creates lactic acid (that's what makes yoghurt sour, by the way). Acids help coagulate proteins in the milk, as does the rennet. Have you ever seen milk 'split' when you overheat it? That's the same sort of coagulation.

You end up with lumps of coagulated protein (curds) and water (whey). You chuck away the whey and press the curds together. Hey presto - cheese.

[matthemod]

@jbreckmckye saying "away the whey" is fun.

[Karinrin88]

@jbreckmckye you could also use the whey to make other cheeses, like ricotta or mesost/brunost.

[Stockfield]

@Karinrin88 brunost! Go Norge! :)

[Karinrin88]

@Stockfield well I'm swedish so I say mesost.

[Panthur]

How I hate laughter tracks.

[Panthur]

Should left out the laughter track. I hate being prompted to laugh by someone else's opinion of what is and isnt funny.

[Panthur]

Damn BBC and their laughter track policy.

[JoeLaTurkeyIII]

This is like talking to a homeopathic doctor

[lunchboxattacks1]

This sketch is a great enactment of how a relatively trivial and benign conversation can turn into a full blown shouting match. Anyone whose ever been in a dysfunctional relationship of any sort with another person can probably relate to this sketch and that's what makes it particularly funny. :)

[Milliondollarloser]

if you don't know, look it up. the internet was built for that, then regular man learned how to use it.

[MrLW25]

"I'm not claiming to be a FUCKING SCIENTIST David, how do they put the skin on?"

"I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY PUT THE FUCKING SKIN ON!"

[zionravescene]

This is exactly how Internet discussion forums work.

[BradleySherwoodFan]

@zionravescene No it isn't, you fucking racist idiot!

[brunotherhino]

@BradleySherwoodFan I see what you did there

[BradleySherwoodFan]

@brunotherhino :)

[jvonm618]

@zionravescene u fucking racist

keep ur immature opinins too urself

[hockdan]

@zionravescene Are you listening to yourself? How the fuck does an internet forum work like this???

[wybo2]

@hockdan

Google for 'Global warming' or 'evolution vs creationism' discussion forum and you will understand

[abrelosojo]

@hockdan very droll

[hockdan]

@abrelosojo It had to be said

[mrs260]

Now I really want cheese.

[Francis2061]

I'd love to know how they come up with some of these ideas. i mean - arguing about cheese? How random.

[DeclinedMemory]

one of the best. 'did you just hear yourself?! they put the skin on?!'

[RicnardQele]

That whole episode is really funny :)

[mr0buch]

I dunno how they put the FUCKING SKIN ON!!

[irulehaha23]

They should do one where Mitchell's the one who's wrong

Just to mix it up

[annoyingweirdo]

@irulehaha23

Latest episode they kinda did. 'That last joke on Blackadder goes fourth really fell flat!'

[irulehaha23]

@annoyingweirdo

Clearly they read my comment then

[impatientp]

1:13 david is hilarious

[NRen2k5]

lol, Rob's schtick reminds me of 9/11 Truthers:

"I don't have a fucking clue what I'm talking about, but I know what I'm talking about!"

[impatientp]

how ironic

[NRen2k5]

How so?

[Elochai1]

I think this is one of the funniest sketches ive ever seen, Fuckin hilarious

[frazzles45]

"I'm not claiming to be a fucking scientist David!!" hahaha

[splashley10]
