Mock The Week S18E06 June 27, 2019

11:29 "Everyone knows it is only comedy if it comes from the joke-producing region of France. If it does not come from the joke-producing region then you just have to call it sparkling wit" -- Angela Barnes, best French joke of 2019

[@DennisMoore664]

Loved that. I'm starting to keep track of great one-liners. Here was another recent one I enjoyed... "Our entire civilization is living like a middle aged alcoholic who's just starting to realize the trouble they caused, but still drinks." -Duncan Trussell - Bigfoot Hunter

[@robertaclermont9241]

That would apply over here across the pond as well, only it feels scarier. I think the drunk in question has the car keys.

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

Can't wait to hear it in French by a French comedian

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

That is a fantastically written joke!

[@ajones8699]

I think France is the biggest joke of 2019 although the uk comes a very close second.

[@lillianward2810]

“These are just words” is my favorite heckle of all time.

[@stannousflouride8372]

"The shopkeeper said 'Have a nice day' and I didn't. So I sued him." One of the most concise assessments of my country's culture I've ever heard.

[@felixking6634]

I know it is true, but it sounds weird coming from a foreign country.

[@danielstewart7163]

Fuck 'em, we'll sue. The American battle cry.

[@tygrkhat4087]

That and Ed Gamble's, "I am a true American, cut me and I will shoot you in the face."

[@flannelgay420]

It’s really telling that the people on this show can so accurately skewer American culture when most Americans (myself included) barely know anything about UK culture/politics

[@housequakeb6866]

I think this was one of Angela's best episodes 👍

[@turdl38]

ed's hair is short. Milton's is combed. something is very wrong with the world.

[@turdl38]

@John the Bastard no. But it adds

[@henryorsomething]

turdl38 is this some sort of alternate reality?

[@zachschroeder1796]

Nah. Tom and Dara are still bald

[@datgrrl_official]

Do your parents know you are watching adult programmes on utube??? Cor blimey what the actual feck is the matter with humans... leave it out... children are annoying

[@lnteIIigence]

​@@datgrrl_officialOkay crazy person.

[@GirGir183]

16:22 Ed knocks it out of the park with "who's bringing down that average".

[@michaelmosier5627]

Tom should have said "Not Me".

[@hollyrr]

Thank you so much. We in the US need laughter.

[@ATLAScorporation2023]

What you need is good tv programs 😂😂😂

[@creativeseagullart5719]

Angela was sparkling wit this time :)

[@centurionquincy3899]

This one worked. But the synchronized swimming thing.... Hahah

[@censusgary]

“It looks like the sort of stag do where at the end of it a homeless person gets killed.” That’s a very succinct description of the whole Conservative Party right there.

[@scottlewington8439]

Classic mainstream British humour. Complain about everything and everybody. No solutions, just cynicism. Just a jaded, been there, colonised that, population.

[@annnee6818]

@@scottlewington8439 LOL, the irony of whinging about all the whinging shouldn't be lost on anybody. Anyway, it's not comedy's job to provide solutions and no one would give a flying fuck about solutions from the public anyway, so your whinging is just as pointless as everyone else's.

[@ehollandbkk]

Or the opening scenes of "A Clockwork Orange"?

[@TheHutchy01]

I'm 48% sure the only way Jeremy C Hunt can become physically aroused.

[@BadWebDiver]

"It's got to come from the joke-producing region of France!" :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD This show was hitting them out of the ballpark!

[@jamesmartell3095]

I find her a bit hit n miss usually but she was on fire this week

[@tim3666]

Thank you for Posting these, I am working in Uganda at the moment and they only way I can get to see MTW is through you uploading them. Thanks again 😊😊😊

[@danawrigleywalkingstickand5677]

The unlikely lines from a horror movie would have been a great opportunity for Milton to reference a bit from an earlier episode: From the makers of Nosfera-one...it's Nosferatu .

[@roscoewhite3793]

That's *exactly* what I thought!

[@jamesmartell3095]

Yes!!! From the makers of Mange one....

[@chestnutbloke305]

A symbol on my arm that can't come off. From the makers of Tat-one... Tattoo!

[@Travis_Kemp]

thanks! fab episode. loved Toms stand up bit about schools, especially that ending.

[@MB-dg3lr]

This is one of the best seasons to date. Every episode is excellent.

[@dropbearkellyevehammond4446]

I LOVE Eds affrontage at UNKEMP grass 🤣

[@josephinemonahan915]

Unkempt

[@livb6945]

Great episode, everyone is on fire. Not missing ANY other comedian 😊

[@sophiefwt4036]

Only missing james acaster !!

[@shapeshfters]

I’m still trying to work out what reality Milton lives in.

[@RIXRADvidz]

the fifth one on the right, just down from the Mayhem Maelstorm

[@memorless]

be easy on him, he once had a near-death experience he was on holiday in Kent at that time, as he once spoke candidly about this ... found himself walking along a tunnel towards the light. At the end of the tunnel, a foreign man greeted him "bonjour", which in Milton's eyes was unfair as he thought he had led a good life ... oh wait, it was a near-europe experience in response to euro-skepticism

[@felixking6634]

When you find out, ask what is their policy on imigration.

[@WalterReimer]

It seems a happier one than the one we're stuck in.

[@TheHutchy01]

One closer to us than the POTUS

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

11:30 - wow! So clever! And the follow up is genius!

[@gamefreakforlife]

First I felt kinda sad when I heard Milton re-use a joke in his stand-up bit, but then he absolutely rocked every second of screentime. That man's just magic.

[@just-tess]

cannot get enough of tom's standup challenges! vocal fry has never been so hilarious.

[@cypherglitch]

I had almost a half a foot of grass growing in the feet ares of the passenger's seat. The whole foot area. "Where else in the car is half a foot of grass meant to grow, but in the feet area" "HA!" *THIGH SLAP*

[@bradenschecter5217]

Just once I want Dara to call it a draw...

[@collinhunter9792]

thak you for these, Suzanne. very much appreciated.

[@87654321j]

This is how you fill in a tax return This is how you mend a broken heart This is how you tell a estate agent to f off Omg Tom is friggin hilarious 😂🤣

Have Dara O'briain's neighbours talked about what it's like to live next to Archvillan Gru from Despicable Me?

[@mortenu.5606]

They are all dead

[@padredelaverde]

Gru is CGI dude. Megabus wouldn't let Dara break contract to do the role.

[@amberkelly3187]

You have to send your children dressed as minions at Halloween wouldn’t you?

[@hurrdurr7119]

@@padredelaverde and there it is!

[@frankhooper7871]

Have you noticed that the stand-up challenge almost always includes Milton, if he's there? And that he almost always the last one to perform on it?

[@matthewgodding777]

Whoever the last one on is, they drive home the laughs by cutting to the other comedians laughing at every joke too. They don't put those shots in for the first one up. I'm sure milton just has a better agent to make sure he's the 'headliner' every time he's on. He's sometimes funny.

[@datgrrl_official]

No...no I have not...

So weird to see Ed with short hair.

[@robburgess4556]

Yeah, I'm not used to it yet. It looks ... odd.

[@turdl38]

yeah, my very first thought was "dude, wtf did Ed do to his head?"

He's had it like that previously in series 5

angela was the mvp tonight!

Did ya notice the look Hugh gave him?

[@JV-the-Tossh]

Even Milton's heckles are confusing.

[@monomakes]

Milton's comment!! Boss!!

[@joycejohnson7164]

such a good time!

[@eastvandb]

I love Tom Allan, but if he's only got this lovely old piece, why not show us Sophie Duker in the stand-up challenge?

[@eastvandb]

(And add my voice to chorus of thank yous.)

[@herpderpherpd]

It's up to the performer if they want to do the stand-up challenge. It sucked in the early seasons when they forced people to do it.

[@Eisenwulf666]

I am all for showing more sophie duker, what a smart ,fit lady ;)

[@datgrrl_official]

[@anthonyarnold9176]

33TimberWolf I think he is very much par for the course. About as funny or unfunny (humour is subjective) as the rest. The fact that you don’t find him funny is perfectly reasonable and understandable. The fact that you think he is only on because of Pride, however, is very telling. Don’t be that guy, it’s very old hat and just tedious!

Ed Byrne still fucking unfunny, and "Hunt For Next October" is just one of the many examples why. Harry Potter reference, very topical. Angela proving time and time again why she was just "TALKING" to the vacuum cleaner. Pavarotti would be thin now, he died in 2007.
