Mock the Week, Series 16, Episode 4. Angela Barnes, Ed Byrne, Milton Jones, Nish & Romesh

[@greyjackal]

Catching Romesh crack a grin before composing himself back into character is always fun :D

When Nish and Romesh come together... good lord the things they can achieve

[@injunsun]

I was actually wondering today whether I had ever seen them together on an episode. Totes worth it. And Angela made me almost fall out of my chair. These people are, together, what makes our shared culture amazing.

[@keithroy9217]

And offsetting them against two Irishmen, just comedy gold!

[@lnteIIigence]

Now I'm fully hard.

[@spud4057]

Nish is not funny in any way.

[@auto_math]

"I'm the Lord of horizontal dance", best irish pick-up line ever.

[@TheHutchy01]

The worst thing is, I don't think he was joking there.

[@Farweasel]

@@TheHutchy01 Well, it made Dara O'Brien laugh. Everything Ed Byrne says makes Dara O' brien laugh. If anyone can be bothered it could be interesting to do a frequency count of how frequently is Ed followed by a cut away to Dara compared with the others.

[@filipepassos-coelho6661]

just love how milton is always in his own little world and cracks the weirdest funniest jokes out of nowhere

[@jmpatison]

Andy Parsons had the greatest description of him one episode: "It's oftentimes very difficult to tell which week Milton is actually mocking."

[@chiaroscuroamore]

Michael Patison I’ve just watched that episode. It’s season 13 episode 6

[@changvasejarik62]

I expect Milton to one day listen to zero punctuation and try to get a space helmet then fill it with gummy bears.

[@lillianward2810]

“If you dream of being a poor man’s Romesh you better wake up and apologize” is one of my favorite quotes ever from this show. 9:30

[@carolinebest5440]

“i don’t hate kids i just don’t trust me to keep one alive” has been the most succinct way to explain my thoughts

[@thisravenhasflown010]

Agreed

[@kirstycrawford9178]

genuinely the best episode I've seen thus far! love the line up and flow x

[@sethbrooks8889]

Kudos to Romesh for staying completely calm while Ed just wipes his hands on his face.

[@jackhopkins5956]

Romesh and Nish together is something I didnt know I needed to see until I saw it

[@urglefloggahthethird1202]

Brilliant episode, Nish and Romesh are just dynamite together! On the car horn thing, though, I remember when I was a kid my granddad bought a vintage Fiat from back in the 1920s sometime and the horn, I kid you not, sounded exactly like the geese at the local farm, so whenever we tried to get them to move off the road whenever we were in this car, well, they didn't. They thought it was one of them.

[@martyheresniak5203]

One of the best. How have I missed this until now?

[@retrocentral]

A particularly good episode. I laughed more than usual, which is saying a lot. Literally. I laughed a lot. There, I said it.

[@thisravenhasflown010]

Agreed

[@MentalS6k]

Same here. From 07:45, absolutely killed me 🤣 The best 10 or so minutes from MOTW 🤣🤣🤣

[@MEEEPMEEEPMEEEPMEEEP]

8:42 Milton just completely wiping out the topic of conversation, that was amazing

[@MetalHeadReacts]

Coming this summer, random things with stuff... This will forever be one of my favourite jokes...

[@SpeedwagonZaidan]

One of my favourite Milton jokes. How many grandfathers have I actually got?

I thought I heard Tommy Robinson fighting a mascot, and checked to see if I were watching 8 out of 10 cats does countdown.

[@expressoevangelism80]

Ed Shearon;- rural hairdressers! Where does Milton get them from? When he gets in tune, he really is inspired.

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

These shows are never long enough....such good comedy...🤣

[@thisravenhasflown010]

Funny thing, they say these shows took on average 2 to 3 and a half hours to tape. That's how they have so much extra for compilation episodes at the end of the series🤭🤷‍♀️

[@thebitsanpiecesman4423]

This episode was tight! Fantastic

[@markjameldc1520]

i only clicked on this ep to see what would happen with Nish and Romesh and i can’t stop laughing

[@rick5793]

I like how Milton can be so funny and keep it clean at the same time. Sometimes he's from the outer planets but colorful and funny.

[@davidoreilly7328]

I am definitely gonna use horizontal river dance one day

[@noir-214]

20:28 I like Nish had just completely been broken from Ed's joke 😂😂😂

[@chockydog6960]

Best episode 👍

[@wfcoaker1398]

A car horn that says "Sorry". How Canadian!

[@CalumCarlyle]

At the time of this episode there were actually about SIXTY million EU citizens living in the UK.

[@thisravenhasflown010]

I love the idea of a dual tone horn for dual purposes. There is a more urgent time for a horn, and not one😊 it would work out great! Thank you Ovid, I had given up on crushing on even semi-star level entertainers, thinking humour, intelligence and quick wit together just wasn't existent anymore. Seems that it's missing here in America. From Dara, to Frankie, Hugh and Ed Byrne... I've found new inspiration 🤔😎👍

[@Ragnarok6664]

Bloody brilliant!

[@sharonmullins1957]

Love Milton's sardonic, dry humour.

[@vincentmutel7313]

Dry, yes. Sardonic, no. Sardonic means bitter and mean. That's not Milton, right ?

[@ryancombs1064]

Ed and Romesh are an underrated duo

[@mattmas32]

When Angela’s doctor looked at her bits, it was cervix with a smile.

No. Nish's complete lack of talent will repel Romesh at the last moment before fail safe.

Nish won’t be mistaken for Romesh Because Romesh is a comedian !

[@frankensteinracing3520]

Comedy is subjective and each to there. I find Nish far more entertaining the Romesh. But that’s my opinion.

[@RIXRADvidz]

if you've watched as much Brit Comedy/Satire Panel shows as I have, you'll see the ''balance'' thing in full force, here, Angela and Milton were dressed similarly, Romesh and Nish are on opposing sides because that would be too much brown for some people on one side so Milton gets shifted to Andy Parson's seat.....

[@RIXRADvidz]

on HIGNFY GraysonPerry on Ian's team, CatherineRyan on Paul's team, Paul and Katherine both had on bright colored clothing to balance Grayson's outfit., 8oo10cats had a balance issue with stephen mangan on sean locks team, but usually you'll see the screen balanced for everyone's entertainment

There is no way that Nish Kumar is ever mistaken for Romesh. They look nothing alike. One wears glasses, has a full beard and is darker skinned plus Romesh is actually funny.

Funny how these edgy alternative comedians are so very establishment when it comes to Corbyn

[@ubergeekian]

Is the Nish Kumar making jokes about looking like and being mistaken for Romesh Ranganathan here the same Nish Kumar who accused Edinburgh Fringe audiences of racism for making jokes about him looking like and being mistaken for Romesh Ranganathan?

Of course. He is a one trick pony in search of one trick.

... this episode is from four or five years ago..?

[@heidicross6878]

Can I just say, Nish, YOU ARE BRITISH. Born in England from INDIAN descent. YOU ARE NOT ASIAN. Asians are Chinese and Japanese. Why do you keep saying you are Asian when you are from England?? I am confused.

[@tasha389]

... you... you do know India is part of Asia, right? And that equally you can be both Asian AND British?

[@frankensteinracing3520]

As on Aussie. I hate the whole Asian Australian or Russian Australian. You should be Australian Asian or Australian Russian. Your country first heritage second. So English Asian etc. oh and as other said India is part of Asia. But it is sort of common to refer to it as a separate entity. Bored and felt like throwing a comment in.

[@NonIntrovertial]

I love it when yanks out themselves when they're watching British shows - Indians and anyone else from West Asia actually gets referred to as Asian in our country

[@lightsallfading]

Oh dear. India is part of Asia, therefore Indians are also Asians. If you want to get into the semantics, Indians are South Asian. The Japanese are North East Asian. The Thais, the Indonesians, the Singaporeans are South East Asian. But they are all Asian.

[@vangroover1903]

You are retrarded, not confused.
