3:48 If you're looking for the titular "Claudia spits out her drink at David Mitchell's lengthy answer" part, it's at 3:48. You might miss it as the answer/joke isn't a long rant, it is only a couple of seconds (one sentence) long.

[@gauravgummaraju]

Thank you. I hate it when they clickbait you into watching something which is such a small part of the video. Probably for that juicy 10+ minute ad revenue. It's another thing that the remaining parts of the video are also equally entertaining

It says "lengthy answer joke." As in joke about the lengthy answer. It caught me out as well until I read it again.

[@falcychead8198]

I suspect the people on "Praise the Lord" were worried about was having wasted their lives. They had a nationally syndicated television show, they had a viewership across the country specifically tuning in to hear what they had to say, and instead of using that opportunity to make a positive change, to talk about finding solutions to real problems in the world -- or just sharing lasagna recipes, anything at all constructive -- they were so starved for importance that the best use of their time as adults that they could think of was to play rock & roll records backwards while listening for anything that sounded like an excuse to get angry. What a horrible waste of the gift of life that their god gave to them.

[@KackieJennedy]

"Searching for excuses to get angry" is pretty much how any religion can be described.

[@ladyflimflam]

They bilked plenty of people out of lots of money. I’m sure they thought that was worthwhile.

[@sjoormen1]

drinking it again is more traumatic then just spitting out...

[@EleanorPeterson]

Yes indeed. If part of it's been expelled through your nose, the liquid may have acquired... solids, and I don't know anybody who enjoys a chewy cuppa.🤪

[@jessicalee333]

8:11 I love Claudia's impression of Alanis Morissette, if that's what she's trying to do. Also I think "rain on your wedding day" _is_ ironic, in the context that you've done all that planning, beginning months or longer in advance, and tried everything you could to make sure every single detail of the event would be just so and it would be your "perfect day", and then it goes and rains. Also in the context that you think the rain is a problem, like at an outdoor wedding. If the rain wasn't disruptive to the event as planned, it wouldn't be ironic.
