The Armando Iannucci Shows - Armando the great adult

[@seagreenyweeny]

I like how Armando's wearing a bald wig that looks identical to his real hair.

[@DavidBenjamin-jf1zn]

This is the best comedy sketch I have ever seen LOVE IT ovavvuuuu!!

[@Hellotheres]

Hahahaha, can't even hear the rest of it for laughing at "an acceptable pasta sauce!"

[@TulseLuper]

Wish Armando the Great Adult had given me this lecture when I was young.

[@1292liam]

Imagine being one of those kids - They're very lucky to be learning this shit early. BOO ZA ZA !!

[@moeezS]

The Guardian/Daily Telegraph joke, brilliant!

[@emigan]

Messofanego I don't get that joke but it seems like something id enjoy. can you explain it?

[@WhiteSleevedStu]

+Eoghan Colgan I think it's because of the cliche of people's political views shifting to the right as they get older. Such an amazing sketch altogether anyway.

[@emigan]

***** cheers!

[@planetyes]

HAHA! This is my favourite Armando sketch... This and the Sniper one...

[@bedminster2]

I've been away for 5 years and missed this....nearly wet myself. Bring back hanging!

[@1292liam]

ACCEPTABLE PASTA SAUCE IS THE CLEAR WINNER - ZOO ZA ZA !!!!

[@MrPicklerwoof]

It's interesting how kids think adulthood is some kind of alternate mode of being (I thought the same when I was young). But it's not; you're pretty much exactly the same. It's just you have to physically start doing stuff that needs doing. All the time.

[@GoldenGrazed]

F'king hilarious clip, great to see it again, thanks for posting it.

[@stevie_j_jones]

Indeed, indeed - the acceptable pasta sauce moment is just genius... laughed my nads off at this.

[@BryanAJParry]

Hang on a sec! Ianucci's "Thick of It" is widely regarded as genius. I swear that post-dates The Armando Ianucci Shows.

I remember a couple of years ago telling my then 14 year old niece how to assess the tax deductibility of the expenses of running a home office and the pros and cons of writing off equipment purchase costs through annual depreciation. She ran out of the room with her hands over her ears. Am I a bad man?

[@JamesBentley1981]

Thanks Alan.

[@janhuda8841]

Must have seen this at least 20 times and only now I noticed about 2:00 there is a sign on the blackboard with what appears to be a chant lyrics: *THERE ARE FIVE PINS IN A NEW SHIRT,* *REMOVE THEM ALL AND IT WON'T HURT* *IF YOU FORGET THE COLLAR* *YOU'RE BOUND TO HOLLER* *THERE ARE FIVE PINS IN A NEW SHIRT* It's brilliant, wonder what's the backstory (I've seen all the released deleted scenes from this sketch and this wasn't included, maybe it's an easter egg?)

[@patricknicholls1229]

Someone posted it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/maO8emmwrLCFZ7s I've had the DVD for years but had never seen this scene until...5 minutes ago :)

[@ignoranttwat]

Bloody fucking yes.

[@mjdosz]

[@christschinwon]

He can't be a great adult. He's only 37. Halalaaaah!

[@TheJohnRowley]

[@JoelCornah]

Stone Henge - sophisticated ant hill.

[@Weesing]

So weird but amazing!

[@killanotterinasecond]

[@diderr01]

I can't be an adult. I'm only 37.

[@djmikeyc]

[@readtherightbooks]

'any vegetable' = haha!

[@saturn1returns]

MA BABBA!

[@fitzviddy]

"an acceptable pasta sauce", lol

[@JamesBentley1981]

Is the barber the guy who played the ?South African fire company rep in I'm Alan Partridge?

[@IbnShahid]

Yes.

[@somena]

Shazaaam! :) HILARIOUS!

[@iamnotadoctor]

VA ZA ZA!

[@seagreenyweeny]

@seagreenyweeny oh I just realised someone else said the exact same thing 6 months ago. The ignominy.

[@BryanAJParry]

erm... huh?

[@jarzhinio]

By the way (and you weren't to know this) but I don't like the abbreviated term 'lol'. I think it's saa-aaad. And aren't you forgetting about Time Trumpet? Are you imlying this generation of comics, having bourne fruit, will now wither and die. Are you the portent of doom for the great satrisits of our age? For the sake of us all I hope you're incorrect on that score, certainly.
