These two remind me of 2 school friends that have grown up with each other for so long they just have that connection, we won't understand but they are connected on this giggle banter and inside joke train it's endearing to watch the chemistry. Romesh loves being awkward and he's aware of it but Rob loves to break through that barrier Rom puts on and it's nice seeing their more vulnerable sides which is just pure giggle fits lol.

[@l_j_c_5397]

Fun fact: Rob and Tom Allen went to the same school together

[@oliverdking]

Feel like Romesh is such an underrated host in theses. He puts people at ease so well and speaks to everyone like hes known then all his life

[@MJ-dx4rw]

"Great man, terrible publican" - what an awesome line!

[@omgisthatvik]

I love these videos. "So there's people worse than you?" 😂😂

[@CharlieCoops]

omgisthatvik Shame it’s an exact rip off of Jerry Seinfeld’s show. Also the ‘coming out as a comedian’ is a Seinfeld joke. Ha this is a complete knock off. British comedy is weak and I’m from here.

[@dailyelevation2813]

You know what the word exact means? What car did Ramesh choose to personify Beckett? Which new exclusive coffee place did Ramesh take him to? This show is always at the same place, and they don't even try to pretend it's a real environment, I mean they even use extras and have them change seats throughout the show. So Seinfeld came up with the idea of doing interviews whilst drinking at a café? What a point.

[@titanuranus3095]

Being racist is also Seinfelds thing, I can't believe they are trying to take that away from him.

[@TheTelepathicKid]

i see the comedians in cars similarity, but as people have said it's a broad enough formula that I feel with good comedians and banter it works doesn't have to be the most original thing, just entertaining

[@Pablo-iz5tl]

@@CharlieCoops IKR. You have to turn to the US if you want truly original humorists, like Denis Leary.

[@user-rm9zx7ln9i]

Excellent chemistry, love to see people be able to take each others family members, careers, and current audiences apart in under 5 minutes and laugh the whole way through.

[@Jambax]

Oh my days PLEASE do one with Sean Lock and make it like three hours long.

[@mattcoxonline]

Three days long.

[@solomanyamin2876]

Three years long so we can call it a kidnapping

[@dariyama]

Even if Romesh was the kidnapper, I still feel like Sean would be the one getting arrested.

[@klmasi]

See, funny you asked...

[@lightonstillwaters6789]

"Yappy like a hand-bag dog" 😂 Thanks Romesh for a visual feast of an insult. Funny AF chat.

[@tmp123ful]

"Mom, Dad, I've got something to tell you. I'm a comedian."

[@pouriaabadsafian]

*"You don't tick enough diversity boxes"* LOL

[@streglof]

at least he's honest about it

[@David-ud9ju]

He was joking but, the sad thing is, that is the way the BBC operate. It's only half about how good you are and the other half is who you are. If a white man and a black woman were equally good comedians, the black woman would have 10 times the chance of making it onto the BBC.

[@paparoachluver4eva]

It's funny because it's true

[@GreyPunkWolf]

@@David-ud9ju That's true in legislation but not in reality. We have to make constant efforts to bring more diversity into our companies, genderwise and ethnicity-wise (not sure thats a real word though) to elevate peoples consciences and awarenesses, with the added benefit of making immigrants or women fit in way better into our society as active members with valid opinions and ideas. Doesn't mean it has no flaws either but it's still a better approach than let's say rebuilding the liberty statue as a white person instead of an afro american one to "better incarnate the population" with already a majority of afroamerican population and a minority of all white elite lmao

[@scottdrone-silvers5179]

You don’t think that he’s in a minority, being a man with the teeth of a horse?

[@laurajaynenolan2149]

I love that they seem like brothers the way they get along together 😊 literally hilarious duo

I love their friendship

I wish I had a friendship like this! My friends tend to be very sweet and amazing, but also a bit sensitive, which is fine because so am I. But this is something to strive for.

[@MultiMcKane]

The depth to comedy Romesh brings is really refreshing. Love this show :D

[@acorntree404]

these two are hilarious together

[@saifulmahmood7129]

Damn honestly thought that was Dara O Brian doing a Stan Lee type cameo at 2:42

[@Purojannu]

I get what Rob is saying. Having doing comedy as a professional ambition must be quite difficult if you come from a background where no-one does any kind of comedy or even knows anyone who does it or even of people who have comedy as a passion. Trying to do comedy for a living especially if don’t have a group pf other comedians around you is a huge risk and must take a lot of balls and you will fail many times in very embarrassing ways before you succeed, if you succeed. I think its partly so ”shameful” as an ambition because while comedy requires skills and talent, they’re not very tangible. Like if you try to become musician, and eventually fail, you’ve still probably very competent at playing an instrument or instruments and can continue playing for fun for the rest of your life, make new friends through playing etc. whereas a failed comic might actually be less funny than a ”normal” person.

[@nikkinease554]

I love how anything they do together just turns into one of those uncontainable-giggling-fests.

[@thegingerscientist6066]

This is probably a stupid question, I know these are shorts, but do they have, like an hour long version of these? Cause I think they would be great

[@RamsFan93]

Rob's such an underrated comedian, and im 100% Sarah Pascoe is related to him

[@taiodus3401]

Insert teeth jokes here

[@otahkeki1111]

Rob Beckette had another coming out, he announced he actually has a wolf's trap insted of teeth.

Lol please do more

I wanna have a smoke with these two, bet I would laugh myself to death......literally.

[@mrrichierich9916]

I love the wilder comedy goes around and hits on soft spots immigration righteousness and those who are stepping in the shoot cold life I knew what it was like to be different from everyone else mainly because I was born in Birmingham and I was born in the Black Country born in poverty and live without a real father alright couldn't remember all the father's names or mummy friends so any sense I had to learn to have a good sense of humour hello how to fit into Society I'm trying to be middle class and forget the bulshit and also try to forget all there hard times and thanks Maggie Thatcher for putting me on the unemployment market more than once and got the UB40 and grow up in a society where no one was Guy no one didn't know a proper song and also did not know how to dress correctly what can I say that was Birmingham for you in the 70s
