[@Cainnech666]

Really? I love Brydon and think he has some great impressions, but this one is the weakest one I've heard from him.

[@nathana5718]

There was a clip from WITLY in which Brydon comes at Mitchell with an impression “oh should I do Posh and repressed or repressed and posh.” That one was quite good.

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@nathana5718 WILTY? Nope used that as the title of one of his compilations.

[@junbh2]

@@Cainnech666 Yeah, I always thought the joke was that it was an absolutely shit impression that sounded nothing like him and Rob had to use the words he was saying to give extra clues so people could guess who it was meant to be. It was a revelation to me when I realised Rob Brydon actually does some genuinely really good impressions as well.

[@lpsp442]

The only thing missing from the Brydon Mitchell is the *vehemence* with which David takes issues on matters of relevance. David is an angry, ranty man and he speaks for force when moved. Brydon leaves this out, I think because he himself lacks a ranty side.

[@DendyJungle]

Rob Bryson’s impression of David is technically good but it doesn’t work because he doesn’t capture David’s self hating, nervous aura.
