Modern Life is Goodish - Series 2 Episode 5 | Full Episode

[@HORRIOR1]

Been watching Dave Gorman for the first time for about week and a half, and I just love the extra mileS he goes for his jokes. The amount of effort and creativity is just amazing.

[@Brett_is_Veng]

i love the impish grin he breaks in to when he is revealing his shenanigans and i love the circuitous stories bringing elements from the whole narrative. beautiful writing and execution and its lovely to see the fun you can have with the internet if you put in a little effort.

@@Borninthe9ties I don't think he personally runs the account and uploads videos. He almost certainly will have given permission to whomever is running it to upload them, but it being the official Dave gorman channel does not mean he is personally running it. He *might* be, something for him to do during lockdown, but I doubt it.

The best thing about the "Found Poems" is that the Quartet is able to play and laugh at the same time 😆 Lucky they play stringed instruments.. Woodwind can't do that.. you laugh and you can't play anymore !😂

[@EJIsaksen]

had this exact thought a few episodes ago, a brass quintet would not have ended well!

[@catshez]

Emma Isaksen 😂 Imagine the splutters and fart noises 🤣

[@gwishart]

They become the Billroth Ensemble by series four, and added some woodwind instruments. Apparently the key is to learn to laugh through your nose.

[@catshez]

gwishart Oh lord, really?? I have played woodwind for 30 years and never had the ability of laughing through my nose (?!) without affecting my playing ?!! 😂😳 Best to ignore what is going on , not laugh and just do the job !

[@ReadyWhenYouAre]

Dave has a new tour '22. I believe he said that the show (MLIG-ish) takes alot out of him because it's like making a series of Edinburgh shows. Source: Tim Lovejoy's podcast.

[@melaniesharp6878]

Not sure if this has been suggested, but is it possible that knowing he had cold sores, Alex Reid was reluctant to shake hands so as not to possibly pass them on? A fist or elbow bump has lately become much more acceptable due to Covid, so we could give Mr Reid the benefit of the doubt. He was married to Katie Price; he's suffered enough :)

[@BluSpykz]

I've never watched Dave Gorman before, so the moment he said "I like cakes... Not a lot." I thought there was a Paul Daniels' gag right there. I was stupidly happy when he popped up later.

[@LiveDonkeyDeadLion]

Loving these, especially the advert for “Slap Chop” which seemed a very Gorman related type of ad that I watched the whole thing in case it was him. I don’t feel cheated

[@jacobturnerart]

I got a weight loss advert right after him talking about cake. Uncanny.

Recently seen a e~petition to bring back some DJ on a small town radio station shows slot, it makes you wonder sometimes what people think what the government talk about in parliament but I hope if they ever have spoken about DJ's it would have been Jimmy Saval.

[@alansmithee419]

16:45 There was no mention of an action to be taken. They're already taxing the rich, the petition needed to state a change to this tax. E.g. "increase tax rates for the rich." It's like telling someone to have a shower, while they're having a shower.

Bloody hell his shirt is optical-illusion-y. When I look at Dave's face, I start seeing black squares where the white lines on his shirt intersect, then I switch to the point where I see that, and since it is not there and it is an optical illusion, I start seeing one in another intersection.

[@williamdelahunty3677]

@@Outwhere Ah. Lost in translation. Ironic that in the states we launch them to celebrate a successful plot.

[@lefrinj]

It's interesting that we continue to 'celebrate' the failed plot, when originally (I believe) the people were forced to remember it as a threat to show you what happens when you plot against the king. So we're now deliberately celebrating 'never have a revolution, peasants, or you know what'll happen to you'.

[@Hiltok]

Hmmm. I wonder if Dave has re-thought his views on hand shaking now that we all live in Covid-world? Of course he has, because Dave is proper smart ... Although, we can shake hands so long as no-one gets offended by the other shaker immediately washing and/or sanitizing their hand. Mind you, Eskimo 'kunik' and Maori 'hongi' and similar close (nose-to-nose) greetings will have to stay away for a while yet.

In the UK Guy Fawkes Night, is the most prominent use of Fire works in a year, and it is celebrated around the country. It is on the 5th of November, so the 6th is quite literally a day too late. This show was meant for UK consumption, with no intention of international broadcast, so it is quite natural that the jokes should be geared towards a UK audience.

[@rkah6187]

@@samuellawrencesbookclub8250 Exactly. As someone who is not British but watches a lot of British comedy, I have to accept that there are many jokes and references that will fly over my head. You can't expect a comedian to make a joke, then immediately proceed to explain the joke to you. And really, a joke about Guy Fawkes isn't all that obscure, especially compared to all the other references Dave makes.
