Mitchell & Webb - Dave Gorman/Tony Hawks Parody

I hope Dave Gorman, Danny Wallace, Tony Hawks and any of their associates find this sketch funny! It's good to be able to laught at yourself and be self effacing. Well done, Mitchell & Webb!

Thanks to everyone who pointed out that this may be based on Tony Hawks as well. I've edited the details to take this into account... :)

@cole003f David Mitchell is a co-host of 10 o Clock live, regular on comedy panel shows such as Would I Lie To You and 8 out of 10 cats along with appearing on Mock the Week. Robert Webb is also a panel show regular, the pair of them creating an award winning sketch show "That Mitchell and Webb look" as well as an award winning TV series "Peep Show". All of which were populated by other comedians and comedic journalists. How have they failed at comedy?

Are they not also taking the mick out of Tony Hawks, who seems to make a living out of various ridiculous bets. It must be easier than thinking up actual comedy.

@Tehjonny32 They write additional material for Peep Show

Gorman is a cunt.

@scaryninja1693: They acted in Peep Show. They didn't write for it.

Apparently the character was originally called 'Dan Gordon'. Hmm...

@StickItUpYrBumGugle I've been wanting to ask these of you for ages since our little back and forth, 1)do you think Mitchell & Webb's sketch comedy is more or less funny then armstrong and miller's sketch comedy? 2) are you basing your judgement of them on the early That Mitchell and Webb Look, because I think the latter 2 series of the 4 are better (and the very first one was shit)?

@cole003f I think you'll find that that particular comment required 'they're' and not 'their' in order for in to be grammatically correct. Mitchell and Webb are hilariously funny. A sort of modern day Fry & Laurie (of course the latter pair do come top though).

@StickItUpYrBumGugle I'm sorry I insulted you, comedy is subjective and I can't say that what Mitchell and web do is more or less funny then what Gorman does.... however I do think I can say with some degree of objectivity that what Gorman (and even more Danny Wallace) does is far simpler and easier to do and come up with then actually writing a sketch like these two do…. So I agree it is a very unfair comparison

P.S if you don’t they are funny together you should try their radio show
