Lines you wouldn't read in a romantic novel | Mock the Week - BBC

[@scottstalcup4453]

Ed set his bar too high with "I want to see you shit in this bin." a few transmissions ago.

[@stevnye45]

Re: the Statue of Liberty... it gives a whole new meaning to “Coming to America”!

[@NateSean]

He fell into her arms and made sweet, passionate love. He knew deep down their love was forbidden, especially when the police came and said, "Sir, the cemetery is closed after dark."

[@staomruel]

Nice.

[@definitelydefne947]

*snorts* that was good

[@hadleyjolley3375]

I read a lot of romance novels. "Reader, I shagged him" would not be too out of the ordinary.

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

Hadley Jolley Trashy Jane Eyre would be an interesting literary experience, certainly.

[@IlGreven]

She told him "Tonight, I think we should do roleplay." He replied, "Great! I'll get the books, dice and pieces!"

[@brain_apostrophe_t]

"This show isnt funny anymore" he typed joyously into the comment section, just as he had written before on every clip hed seen of the show since the first time it went to air...

[@aliceevans5064]

Holly TheDork 😂👌

[@vagrantbushcraft3741]

How is not funny anymore if it was never funny in the first place, according to you?

[@JaceDraccus]

@@vagrantbushcraft3741 That's the joke.

[@vagrantbushcraft3741]

@Jonathon Side woosh

[@JaceDraccus]

@@vagrantbushcraft3741 Ohhh, you're only pretending to be stupid. Congratulations on such a natural performance.

Ed Byrne is extremely underrated oh my

[@sugarnads]

Ed byrne is the most underrated bloke on this show.

‘Toby I’m not feeling well’ said the lighthouse keeper

[@phunkymind23]

After they had the best night out together, he decided that now was the time. He went down on one knee and said "...Will you carry me?".

[@sovest555]

Based on what I know of romance novels, I am 98% convinced people would have used these exact lines had they not been used here first XD

[@eamonahern7495]

"Swallows". Very good! 😂

[@LazarouDave]

Wow, the comments section isn't nothing but "This show isn't funny any more" as it normally is

[@friendlyneighbourhoodbridg1354]

They need more prompts for the “scenes we’d like to see” section. I love it, but it’s a little repetitive

[@raalvi]

Getting tested twice a week has a whole new meaning now

[@borednow]

that stoplight joke was really clever :D

[@BrendelC]

that lidl one was the only funny one lol

[@Abigart69]

Bill Buttlicker unfortunately the bbc added in fake laughs badly

[@kleemanjad]

imagine reading through the audiobook with this lines. why is hugh always looks at the screen as he return to his place?

[@gwishart]

To remind him of the topic so he can remember the next joke he's prepared.

[@JoeBrayYouTube]

Do they make them up on the spot or do they have time to prepare?

[@makaio9578]

On the spot

[@molai1961]

@@makaio9578 ： If so, then they are wonderfully quick witted.

[@Adam-nb6im]

MATTY GUPSTA Are you sure? Even the best comedians usually need to rehearse jokes like this and can't make them up on the spot.

[@theBeautyandDisgrace]

@@Adam-nb6im it's an improv show. That's the whole point is to do that.

[@SchwarzeWitwe2]

Ross Noble has said they get time to prepare, which is why he doesn't do it and sticks to QI.

[@immacolatasimone8301]

The swallows one

[@tizzieblack3384]

Want it back

[@faithturner1704]

Do they make this up on the spot? X

[@spacepenguins8939]

Faith Turner yeah

[@MrExEssex]

Of course they don't make it up as they go along. They're told well in advance what's coming up. There's an episode of "Lead Balloon" where Jack Dee is preparing what he's going to say on an "impromptu" panel show.

[@TranscendentLion]

Swallows.

[@RageRomantic]

That Amber turning red then green actually does work for Amber Heard’s attitude tho😂

[@sedb6967]

wasnt that good this one

[@molai1961]

sed B : You aren't responding to Nathanielle Crawford, are you?

[@sedb6967]

no i was talking about the video

[@diehardrvdfan22]

Well they can't all be gutbusters.

[@rohmarts]

You have got to give the produces of the show credit. They are forced to include tokens on the panel, so they pick the most outrageously unfunny examples that they can find. The viewer is left asking "why is this person even on this show?", and then it dawns on them, "oh yeah, obvious mandatory token".

[@Robman275]

That's no way to talk about Milton!

[@zerb9461]

Was Andy Parsons a "token" because he was as funny as cancer. Same worn out content every time he spoke and awful delivery

[@mohammedalitalha281]

I understand some English, and I didn't laugh! I guess it's normal.

[@hansoloo98]

The jokes have a lot to do with dual meanings of words and some with British cultural references. Don't worry and keep up the English:)

[@mohammedalitalha281]

Thank you. In fact, I understood what they said but I just had to be British to get the jokes.

[@NosajKnows]

This show’s dead

[@MrExEssex]

Just watched some of series 18 from spring 2019 - it's as good as ever.

[@RIXRADvidz]

Series 19 is going well. Despite covid. Jason. or is it Sonja? anal-grams

[@Maurice_Moss]

That womans joke was pathetic
