Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish - Series 1, Episode 2 | Full Episode

[@nigeltheshanghaipsychic1525]

Never seen this show before, and I just wamt to say thank you to Dave Gorman for putting your show on KZbin and saving me from lockdown maddnes and protecting my mental health with laughter and joy. Life saver at the moment.

[@diebebaardeverdamper9562]

Couldn't agree more.

Series 1: Beth can't recognise her husband from his face. Seires 5: Beth can recognise her husband from his hands.

People get university degrees in that timeframe, and they probably don't get as much exposure to their subject

For a show that likes making callbacks, I'm surprised Dave Gorman didnt reference this episode during that Series 5 episode when Beth recognised his hands on the lifehack video.

[@kevoatway2348]

My favourite R lister. I can't believe this was so long ago

[@eIucidate]

18:10 - Dave critiques the phrase "six CONSECUTIVE years" 13 seconds later: "...when we come back in a few SHORT minutes"

[@Jacquobite]

To be fair that is a common turn of phrase (the short minutes one).

[@eIucidate]

@@Jacquobite It is indeed, and I wouldn't have batted an eyelid had it not been for the fact that it is a tad hypocritical to be pedantic about using a word redundantly, only to go and do the same yourself. At least the word "consecutive" does add SOME value to the meaning, as opposed to describing minutes as "short".

[@DeathSpiral777]

I love the effort he puts into doing something lame just because it's funny... the lookalike bit and when he made the children's toys speak in different languages are prime examples

[@benbarton8302]

When do the toys speak different languages? Is that a different episode?

[@ash36230]

And I was thinking his favourite celebrity was Martin Roberts from Homes Under the Hammer

🎵I wanna be... your sledge hammer!! 🎵

[@WukongTheMonkeyKing]

In the section talking about "most..." or "best..." he mentioned several stories in a row as being his favorite.

I've never had Dave. The channel, 'Dave' so I am watching all of these episodes for the first time. Thank you Dave Gorman. Keep 'em coming 👍

I wonder if he putting these up because he's started making series for KZbin

[@andrewcooper5411]

Specifying you meant dave the channel makes it sound like you have had dave the Gorman

[@PsychoSavager289]

I was honestly expecting Dave Gorman's twin brother Nicholas to appear at the end as his look-alike for Inception-level trolling.

[@themadplotter]

Or Michael Legge

[@lesterbottomley7641]

As daft as it sounds Michael Legge looks more like him.

[@andybarker8787]

For me the best ever series about modern life. Very intelligent and hilarious.

[@spikemurphy5054]

The ‘from blank to blank’ section of the show got me going. It’s amazing how Dave gorman can make describing the internet very funny.

[@lefrinj]

I've just realised, after watching these in reverse order, that there's no 'hey' in the theme music in series 1.

[@hedgehog1965uk]

Dave said on Twitter (in 2013), regarding Susan Scott "I've made my apologies to Susan, sent her some flowers and all is well. They know it's me now!".

[@grahamlive]

He's still on their website though. 😂🤣

[@hedgehog1965uk]

Did John get an extra credit for this? Or is this technically a speaking role?

Extras can usually have some very small bit of dialog. It might explain his very terse answers.

[@goldenpony822]

Super pumped to find early episodes about as awesome as later episodes, thanks Dave!!

[@stephendavies923]

I remember watching this episode live on Dave first time it came out, and while all of the series, and following ones, are excellent, this has always been my favourite because of the looky-likey part.

I've no idea who Demi Moore and Aston Somebody-or-other are, and have never seen a film featuring Tom Cruise, but I do know who Dave Gorman is!

The "Everything from..." thing I also see happening is that the writer forgets partway through how that's supposed to end> So instead of "This zoo has everything from apes to zebras", you get "this zoo has everything from apes, tigers, lions, elephants and more"

Plot twist: the reason that all the Thierry Henry lookalikes are disappearing is that the original Thierry Henry has put out a contract for them all. Mr. Henry doesn't very much like competition, it turns out.

"If we look at strangers and post those pictures online that's a bit creepy but mentioning their glasses makes it more normal to enjoy random photos of people" What about the "leany man"!!

I know a lot of extras and they couldn't tell you how many tv shows and movies they have been in. I know one extra who was 3 characters in one movie, he also plays in Outlander and is a military advisor for 17th century Red Coats, so, participating credits would be huge. I think journalists have forgotten the meaning of most English words, when they use word like horrific you know they have never seen anything horrific in their lives.

The most recent movie you know Ashton Kutcher starred in is Dude, Where's My Car? Seriously? His role in The Butterfly Effect is even more well known, and that's not even anywhere near his most recent.

[@PsychoSavager289]

Jobs is arguably better known, and that would have been recently released when this episode was filmed. Curiously, it seems Kutcher has taken a break from acting since 2014.

[@commandercorner5575]

@@PsychoSavager289 Well Jobs wasn't well received. The one with Michael Fassbender is probably more likely to come to mind more quickly. I think Butterfly Effect is probably one of Kutchers more popular entries. As far as his acting career, he's been acting in the series "The Ranch" since 2016, and he's still doing movies though it does look like he took a hiatus from movies since 2015. Probably a good move for him; he's still relatively well liked but his most recent movies didn't do well.

[@commandercorner5575]

@Ross Bourne Not sure that was the joke, friend. Dave Gorman isn't a film enthusiast, and I wouldn't be surprised if the last thing he remembers Kutcher in legitimately was "Dude, Where's My Car?"

[@randomwerewolf1099]

What, like they don't know they're fat? Shaming and making people miserable isn't exactly a good incentive, in fact, it's more likely to drive people to comfort eat.

[@randomwerewolf1099]

@Ahmed Jones "Fat pride" is good in terms of acknowledging that the normal/ideal body doesn't look like the stick-thin super model or six-pack abs. A little bit of chub is ok. Of course, the people who get the most attention are the "extremists" who insist the fact that they're severely obese is fine. My point is that shame is a terrible motivator, as all negative motivations are. It's much easier to give up on a diet/exercise when you feel terrible about it. Finding a positive motivation and giving yourself reasonable goals means you're much more likely to reach them.
