Mock the Week S19 E8 (14 Jan 21). Ed Gamble, Ed Byrne, Maisie Adam, Rhys James, Ria Lina

[@JMaxwellE]

I’ve definitely needed a dose of mock the week after the one we just had... Thanks Ovid!!!

[@loiskopf6162]

Someone here (US) suggested Amazon delivery drivers be trained to give the vaccine. The whole nation would be vaccinated by Tuesday. Saturday if they have Prime.

[@gleelee2008]

jaysus! that's brilliant!

[@luminousfractal420]

Only available for prime members by signing up for a monthly subscription.

[@mattmas32]

Yeah sure. They should first be trained to handle people’s packages.

[@TheInternetHelpdeskPlays]

If you're not home, do they leave the vaccine behind the bins?

[@bastgojira8072]

Thank the lord some people had more sense than to allow zealots to try something like door to door vaccination.

[@garfreekvanbroekhoven2387]

I love how Maisie is enjoying Ria's stand up!

I loved Ed Byrne and Hugh Dennis' bad pun exchange .

Right? She’s magnificent!

[@sammarks9146]

@Eric Anderson She can be invited back even if it's her second show... Or do you think he's being ironic about her being awesome? Cause I agree with him, she's funny!

[@davilathegreat]

To be fair to Eric, this could be read as sarcastic since it doesn't have an exclamation point at the end. If you read this out with a flat delivery, it sounds like classically dry British sarcasm. But yeah, she's a gem.

[@barbarajoseph-adam8337]

I shed soy sauce tears - what a heartrending, rollercoaster ride this poem was. Perfectly portrayed the human condition, the everyman‘s daily struggle! I don’t think I’m being too bold when I proclaim that this is comparable to Thomas Hardy’s “In Time of ‘The Breaking of Nations’”. Bravo to you, Phil! Bravo!!
