Actually, there is a similar vibe to A Bit of Fry and Laurie; the sketches are nicely balanced between erudition and absurdism, make a lot of joke about performance itself and the two guys complement each other in a similar way. I think these guys are slightly better actors and can be quite tragic as well.
Mitchell and Webb are not better actors than Fry and Laurie. Laurie is amazing, especially when he's not playing the idiot. Have you seen Fry as Oscar Wilde?
@PJHoutman I think it is unfair to compare Mitchell and Web with geniuses like Fry and Laurie. And Mitchell and Web can act seriously and pretty good them self. See the end of the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson sketch where they are old.
@PJHoutman Yes I've seen Fry as Oscar Wilde, have you seen Mitchell and Webb in the clip "Elderly Sherlock Holmes". The acting in that, takes a bit of beating.
How is it like Fry and Laurie? Yes its got two guys in, and its named after their surnames but I think that's a bit thin to claim its a revamp. Its just a sketchshow by two guys (yes, admittedly Mitchell, Webb, Fry and Laurie all went to Cambridge) about things they find funny.

Revamped sounds like they have no ideas of their own. They're funny in the same surrealist, wordy, Cambridge-footlights kind of way.
