A funny sketch by Mitchell and Webb about a boy with an arse for a face. That Mitchell and Webb Look coming soon to BBC 2
DISCLAIMER: ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THE BBC. I DID NOT PRODUCE THIS VIDEO.

[@vee__7]

Just a reminder, this woman won an Oscar.. and fully deserved it.

[@googleisshittoss]

It's actually a piss take of the documentaries on Channel Five, who seem to specialise on showing disabled people, thinly disguised as a documentary...but more often watched by people who just want to take the mickey out of disabled people...so i think it's a valid scetch

[@Servoboy]

yep , totally agree . the greatest show on earth mentality brought up to date disguised as educating documentaries .

[@BootneckAlphaKilo]

...that’s the joke yes.

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

He must get shit faced quite often.....

[@buzzc5219]

That's hysterical!

[@jameswaide5354]

Can we rebrand this sketch as "The Boy with an Arse for a Face (Starring Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman)"?

[@Pravoizavlijesvijeta]

so this means, that somewhere in Great Britain there is a kid and probably several other kids who auditoned to play an arsefaced kid to be on television. he sure can be lucky he has such great parents.

[@SatanStan]

+Pravoizavlijesvijeta Its a midget.

[@camerontrivett3808]

+Satan definitely a midget I doubt they'd let a child on set of Mitchell and Webb

[@sammifruitbat]

and the best part is none of his mates will ever know who he actually is.

[@KairuHakubi]

@@SatanStan Iunno he's got tiny hands.. his limbs look pretty proportional. I'd say either a real kid or a perma-kid with kidney problems like Andy Milonakis.

[@adamsinclair1959]

I love the sheer contempt in Mitchell's voice, really elevates the sketch.

[@tamjac10]

I love the background commentary Mitchell's sarcastic background narration: "Continuing the sensitive freak show series… " 😄

[@louisbradburn265]

Starring Oscar winner Olivia Colman

[@Alphoric]

Ok and 🤷‍♂️

[@BootneckAlphaKilo]

Hands down the funniest of their sketches. It perfectly spoofs the mock sympathy of those awful programmes. They even got the channel right, with 5.

[@scottie6666]

Rocket scientist & Brain surgeon is one of my faves

[@SteveOfWarr]

Oscar-Winner Oliva Colman in her finest role xD

[@LostieTrekieTechie]

Being perpetually pregnant on Mitchell and Webb?

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Colman.

[@countrybluegrass]

Yeah, Kenny put his coat on upside down for class photos with his ass in his hood and cartman had the photo put on a milk carton and two assfaced parents thought he was their lost child, but it turned out Ben Affleck was their long lost son.

[@diamondzanicrioman3820]

cheek bones

[@cetnikz]

I swear since I found this show I have developed rock hard abs from laughing so much.This and peep show.These two are pure comedy genius!

[@Alphoric]

The fact you said “these two” shows everything about your knowledge of their sketch group

[@monseurkez]

Absolutely perfect commentary on these shows.

[@uranus7506]

I remember this. It has taken me years to find this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@venimusvidimus6684]

Ben Affleck

[@user-zs6hi5hy4n]

TLC would broadcast this program

[@tasbihkyani1019]

😀yeah its right

[@fuckamericanidiot]

it's easily the funniest thing i've ever seen on that mitchell and webb look. it's not big or clever but it tickles me

[@FrederickThePie]

"Instead of a face, he's just got another arse" lol @ the matter-of-factness XD

[@pauljordan4452]

Indeed.

[@pauljordan4452]

That first fart response! 🤣

[@NilsAlbertsson]

I waited for that show, Sunday on Channel 5, and I've waited and watched every Sunday on 5 ever since... After nearly ten years, I'm beginning to suspect they're not actually going to show it!

[@knittedrachael]

this is absolutely ridiculous + i cant stop laughing

[@thelouisfanclub]

loool this is SO true. those programmes are little more than freak shows

[@TheSpanielXD]

Sounds like an unreleased Smiths song

[@xxmuzicchickxx]

oh no! he let the door hit him where the good lord split him.

[@eurotrashshow]

This came out in 2007 on "That Mitchell and Web Look". South parks thing was years before that.

[@Enleuk]

David Mitchell reads parody tv show trailers like nobody else

[@timmytoast22]

Continuing the sensitive freakshow series, we'll be telling the uplifting story of one boy's extraordinary bravery. As if that's what you're interested in, rather than the fact he's got an arse for a face

[@thesteveus]

This is the same condition suffered by "The vibrating bum-faced goats" from Viz comic

[@Jaxd789]

Haha I love this! It's hilarious! :D

[@Servoboy]

I knew a lad who really did have an arse shaped face , this would not bother him as when he was the subject of ridicule and taunts , he would just turn the other cheek .

[@XSaffie_LoveX]

Omg this is great pahaha :D David Mitchell you bloody genius XD

[@mdlinksthetopg6510]

Funniest things 1. The boy with an arse for a face 2. The slap 3. Rucka Rucka Ali's Timber parody "Ginger" 4. Hell's kitchen best of Raj 5. Boro Pat

[@FionaClaffey136]

VERY TRUE VERY TRUE!!

[@cobracurse]

reminds me of an episode of South Park

[@Manx123]

Probably the one they completely ripped off.

[@guidguidtomnoddy]

Bless you!

[@TheSteerpike]

Apparently, he’s been offered reconstructive surgery now. He’s over the moon!

[@colinr0380]

But still as cheeky as ever!

[@TheSteerpike]

And no longer the butt of other peoples’ jokes.

[@gweeboyoda]

The graphic novel Preacher did it before South Park. But it's pretty silly to act like an extended joke based on an expression as common as "assface" or "butthead" can't be reused.

[@AkaneKageno]

OMG SERIOUSLY? I would never in a million years guessed that it wasn't real. Thank you so much for informing me that it is in fact, fake.

[@real213]

South Park did it!!!! South Park did it!!!!!!

[@Baalpehgor]

+real213 Preacher did it before South Park

[@devonhague8035]

lol

[@froschknechter8110]

Lmao

[@Harrison1875]

I guess they did the concept of having an arse for a face, but the joke in and of itself is different.

[@0killerqueen024]

Wait what If he needs a crap

[@MasterOfTheLemons]

LoL. I thought this was real until Butt Face ripped one.

[@Fishdogpigsquirrel]

Oh god I fucking felt that child's pain and the mother's depression. Imagine how it would be if they removed the laugh track...fucking hell

[@Daron7181]

He’s gonna be a top tier shit talker.

[@loaforious]

hes got a peanut in his eye

[@arik9112]

the weird bit is that if someone wanted to make this they could actually do it

[@misterfister7714]

It looks so fuckin real

[@imawsomeyourenot]

haha very funny

[@AlexCliffy92]

Makes me giggle lol

[@sammifruitbat]

pommy humour, u gotta love it!

[@danieldorn2927]

He is so brave!

[@NormanBatesIsMyMum]

LMAO! just imagining going round for dinner at their house and having to keep a straight face while he eats!

[@RustlessPotato]

Lol. Even better than south park

[@gskiller9000]

If he burps does this mean he farts too

[@Dear1Stupit1Dog]

He probably burps a lot after eating Taco bell.

[@kurtismason5909]

Southpark season 5 episode 10 'how to eat with your butt'

[@saiateisina4573]

Brother:LAUGHING Me: shut the *** up its sad Brother: no its funny Me: im not the one who has diaria all the time

[@mentalizatelo]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Brilliant.

[@aakkoin]

sick!

[@yank3656]

thanks for sharing cazsnozebun

[@Supersmooth007]

Oh my im going to have nightmares now!!!

[@thesteveus]

He'll have a great career in politics, being able to talk out of his arse like that.

[@rocco4498]

this is what happens when you have a one night stand with David Cameron. Bet he didn't even call her afterwards either.

[@tamjac10]

rocco very clever! 😄

[@Gorton]

i live in watford...thats the real spoerts shop!

[@snthn]

@sikinu10 There's an episode of South Park which I believe addresses this very issue.

[@LouiseLuvsPandas]

ross noble made a joke about this "bummed in the face" it was funny :D

[@warhawkjah]

This Five channel must be the British version of TLC.

[@colinr0380]

Its owned by Paramount now

[@ali_254]

jimmy neutron 3D

[@alejandrohualdez5550]

Dead Man's Shoes music just adds to that sadness.

[@SparkOutUs]

do these pants make my face look big?

[@9886635574]

Breathe easy, little man.

[@eggfooyoung24]

Watch out if he sneezes! ( I )

[@GelGsound]

@HerrNose Do you think noone had ever thought of the concept before? I've seen the south park episode you're referring to, and this sketch's resemblance to it is only superficial. This is taking the piss out of Television shows that exploit people with disabilities. or in their own words 'follow the trials and tribulations of one twelve year old's struggle to lead a normal life while also getting to have a good old stare at the freak in a way you can tell yourself it's sort of ok.' Right?

[@random007nadir]

Years and years ago Alas Smith and Jones did a sketch exactly like this (about a boy without a head).

[@chaos33709]

This was based on a true story about my friend Todd. I called him ass face all the time.

[@Crosswizz]

This would actually be kinda tragic if it was real

[@newkid619]

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this sort of thing before, but I could be wrong.

[@SirM7MD.]

His face LMFAO 😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂

[@fayehappiness]

OLI FUCKING SYKES HAS SEEN THIS AND THAT FACT MAKES ME INCREDIBLY HAPPY

[@RichardVonDoom]

If you follow South Park's logic, that kid must be Ben Afflecks brother !

[@mick220567]

This is so like channel 5

[@cmorgan570]

is that david mitchell narrating??? 😭😂

[@danielpolanco5849]

rick and morty 10 years later

[@piplup2009]

extraordinary people in a nutshell

[@BenParafina]

Goddamnit. Where the hell is Garth Ennis when you need him. Le Arse Face!!

[@jameswhee]

This is an oscar-winning actress 😂

[@ArgentineJu]

I know a lot of people who talk out of their arse so I guess this is the next logical step.

[@gamerknown]

@primateboogaloo Arseface from Preacher came in 1997. I'm going to assume it was a moral about the unintended side effects of attempted suicide, but it was just as likely for the shock effect.

[@66605]

He looks like a young Ted Kennedy!

[@toolworks]

kevin "ARMSTRONG", i see we are taking a stab at the competition...

[@AengusFallon]

A few months ago, I saw an ad on Channel 4 for one of these "sensitive freak show" documentaries called "My Half Ton Son". I thought it was a joke at first, I really did.

[@abarai2007]

@kneon578 this is what channel 5 do and what most people do. They pretend to care

[@estellabrown6145]

So true :D

[@SuperEroyale]

hahah clever!

[@freestylefurby]

@Azureus42 Yeah he can survive ok, he has a face where his arse should be so he eats, breathes sees etc using his face like normal. Rather than walking, he crawls around, only backwards so he can see where he is going. I know all this because he is on my school ice hockey team.

[@ectoband]

Omfg, South Park xD

[@xX00anyone00Xx]

oh! god bless him! So poor guy.... LOL

[@dragonforce525]

Yes but unlike south park the joke here isn't the fact that the kid has an arse for a face, it's spoofing those channel 5 glorifed freak show documenteries.

[@still_guns]

if that were me id fart twice at the starers

[@deafweasel99]

umm yeah but South Park's joke was about a prank gone wrong when it turns out the people they were ridiculing actually existed, the M&W was more a satire of all the "freak show" documentaries that plagued british television not so long ago
