David Mitchell is one of those people about whom you're just grateful for being alive at the same time as you.

[@AndrewEdwardBailey]

I wouldn't complain were he my brother.

[@willisverynice]

I said the same thing about Sean lock

[@jdlamb4212]

[@Inabin]

The way David says “my mum made it” instantly made me think true. His voice is just so full of nostalgia. It’s really sweet actually

[@alexread6767]

I get the owl sanctuary story. Not knowing what to do to get the picture, not really wanting to talk to anybody about it, and just leaving. It makes sense.

[@pcbassoon3892]

I honestly had a similar reaction in a butterfly house. I don't like things flapping around me.

[@Do27gg]

At least it wasn’t the same one as Bob mortimer

[@jaapaap123]

At least owls are cool.

[@KityKatKiller]

I'm studying to be an ecologist. I absolutley get it. I just don't like touching birds. I'm fine with literally everything else. I had no problem whatsoever with dissecting fish, insects, even a slug. No problem with collecting spiders and amphibians. Birds though.... Idk. For some reason I just don't like touching them, dead or alive. And that's absolutley fine. Everyone has some irrational phobia. Also moths. Moths can go fuck themselfes. Ugly ass hairy legged worms with wings. Fuck moths.

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

David in a cape is everything.

[@movingtargets7833]

the cape and the dressing gown turning out to be true adds so much to his poshness.

[@dielaughing73]

Not to mention the bell

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

The ‘new look’ David Mitchell. The one that’s no longer identical with Mark Corrigan. The one that Victoria built 😊

[@spongebabe27]

David thinks hes so socially awkward and so does everyone else but when Miranda is asked to be his assistant and does literally exactly what he was already doing, he plays it off really nicely. Its like the 7th time I've watched that clip and only just noticed that an awkward situation COULD have happened there if David wasnt so smooth :p

[@MegaXron211]

The social awkwardness is just a bit, look at him with the cape - no socially awkward person would strut the stage

[@stargate525]

​@@MegaXron211 you can be socially awkward and still have an acting persona. Slipping into a character can be very liberating.

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

​​@@MegaXron211Respectfully disagree. Actors/performers often have a public and a private persona, which can differ wildly. It is not at all uncommon for successful performers to be shy and awkward off stage. I, myself, am quite shy and introverted, but the few times I've been on stage in an acting role, I actually felt and behaved very free and extraverted.

[@Sammyandbobsdad]

Okay, to be fair to posh boy, walking home from work one evening I had an owl with something like a six foot wingspan dive mere feet in front of me to grab some small prey and I jumped about two meters.

[@maartenvandam344]

Two meters? High or long jump? If the former, you definitely have a future in athletics, basketball, or volleyball. If the latter, don't bother with any of that.

[@Sammyandbobsdad]

@@maartenvandam344 distance backward. If I’d tried to do it I would not be able to, but a huge bird suddenly swooping down in pitch darkness can give one powers.

[@maartenvandam344]

@Sammyandbobsdad Unfortunately, that's not an Olympic sport yet. It should be, though, and 2 meters is an impressive start. Could you do it without the owl, though? The owl might be hard to get in there.

[@Sammyandbobsdad]

@@maartenvandam344 I did land on my arse, so perhaps there was a lack of grace involved.

[@anthonyglenn770]

Scary hearing em in the woods as well,

[@misteryA555]

I can't believe you missed the story where he could ring a bell at his grandparent's house and they'd check up on what he needed. Lee Mack makes a whole joke about David asking them for "a more posh upbringing!"

[@sjinzaar]

[@Brinta3]

David Mitchell would make a great Arthur Dent.

[@roberthickerty390]

I’ve seen David and his cape more times than I can count but it kills me every time.

[@DomenBremecXCVI]

David in that cape is the reason I think capes should be mainstream.

[@clairemontoya2791]

I can picture David in his cape and top hat with his wand.

[@dragonsdynamite6403]

Yet you’re still alive to comment.

[@samkeen]

To be fair to Anna, she’s obviously watched these guys be hilariously savage to one another, and expected to manage the same. The problem was she lacked the warmth and fondness they show for each other even when being right bastards!

[@elonwhatever]

I think another key point that everyone seems to be dancing around is that she's a woman saying it (to a man no less). A man giving that type of ribbing is widely accepted (it shouldn't be either but it is) but if a woman does it she's a heartless bitch.

[@SuperbStevieG]

Exactly, this is like when a bunch of old friends relentlessly rip the piss out of each other, and then some newbie turns up and thinks they have the right to do the same.

[@TheDarkVampire666]

​@SuperbStevieG I wouldn't say she felt she had the right but more it was expected of her as part of the shows routine If they are not regulars I can see a problem people have. Do they joke along and act like the rest of them but could be seen as a arse or do they come across more serious and be seen as boring and standoffish and unwilling to be part of the group

[@ria0pnk]

I think it's more just that the joke falls flat and doesn't actually match with what we all know David Mitchell to be. Pointing out without sarcasm and irony that David isn't the epitome of masculine protectiveness doesn't make for a good joke. He's already claimed to not be that himself, it's not really clever. And the imagined impression was very much the opposite of the "civil, posh and socially anxious" impression David gives off. It sounded more like a Catherine Tate character.

[@Butterratbee]

@@ria0pnkDavid’s no going to sleep with you

[@Do27gg]

Every time I hear ‘possession’ I just think of what big narstie said 🤣

Yeah Anna maxwell martin was so unnecessarily mean 😅 I bet she felt awkward watching it back

[@voiceinthenoise3357]

Yeah mean is the new clever apparently. She may have been trying for dry, deadpan humour and failed horribly. At least with comedians like Sean Locke you knew that it was at least partly an act..

[@dazediss6629]

[@grantjohns]

Genius.

[@dmitrynutels9340]

This Anna person being mean to someone for something that could very well, for all she knows, be a phobia can go... where the sun don't shine. I wonder what would happen if David replied "I also get the jeepers talking to people with an ugly lisp".

[@lindaj5492]

David attended Abingdon School: a VERY posh and expensive public school (in UK, ‘public school’ actually means ‘fee-paying private school’ - they often have charitable status for the tax breaks).

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

I too have a travel dress gown for the same reason 🤣

[@draconightfury9946]

But come on who doesnt feel powerful in a cape

[@hkaayaakuu]

Hes almost too good

[@jcortese3300]

The best thing about this is that it was made clear that David is a Jon Pertwee fan. 😀

[@Tygerhart]

There's a joke about Posh Spice in that title somewhere but I can't be arsed to work it out.

[@kitpalmer1583]

Probably already been said, but Rob acting offended at the awful impression of him is brilliant

[@victordevonshire807]

They cut it out. They had a photograph of him wearing the cape as a kid.

[@livb6945]

Hearing Anna MM speaking in the beginning, I got chills, and not in a good way. I soon realised she is Beelzebub in Good Omens I. I just didn't think she actually spoke like that 😳

[@peterwolf4230]

Wait Carol Vorderman got his age wrong. 16 in 1990, that clip is from about 2016. He was about 42, not 52. He's not even 52 now....

[@taniaelliott4078]

She was joking, and that clip was much older than 2016. He's early 30s and it's evident he's not 52.

[@vincentharriman3283]

The cape dates back to the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who I think.

[@ratbert69uk]

Carol Vordeman looking vaguely normal.

[@dcflake5645]

He also had a top hat and wand.

[@steveneardley7541]

I was attacked by an owl once-- at night on a dark path through the forest. It swooped down right over me. I just saw this huge shadow above me. Thirty seconds later, it came back, this time raking my skull with its talons. I turned around and hightailed it out of there.

[@ThreadBomb]

Ah yes, we all know that poshos are afraid of owls.

[@meyr1992]

we know they are afraid of anything that isn’t neatly dressed and is slightly hairy

[@pcbassoon3892]

What's an airing cupboard?

[@dorgly8951]

A big cupboard on the landing that you store linen, towels etc in. Sometimes has the hot water tank in it.

[@lindaj5492]

Sometimes also called a linen press: in UK, it’s a large closet (cupboard) where household linens and towels are stored. The shelves are slats of wood instead of solid, so air can pass through. Some people like to keep scented soaps or herb bags in there: I’ve heard that Vetivert is popular in France.

[@shostakovich99]

Why would David's mother have made a 9-year-old an adult-sized cape? There was another episode where they had a song queued up when it was mentioned in a story that turned out to be fictitious. That made me think this show may be more rehearsed than they make out.

[@salwaaj1356]

The person who know mitchel the best is probably lee

[@yanathecontrarian4863]

People are complaining about some lady being "over the line" mean to David (while the regulars are supposedly so much better at being cordial in their bullying) but I still remember the time Lee broke David's pen specifically BECAUSE he thought it would be funny in the context of David's anxiety about lending people his pens. I love how All 3 (David, Lee and Rob) are also making jokes in this clip about how they'd never be mean like that to David, which are apparently going over people's heads and being taken literally.

[@ChessJourneyman]

Their actions were comedic, she was just a spiteful, abrasive hag.

[@phantomkate6]

Yeah, Lee was out of order that time. Not sure what bearing it has on this example.

[@joanne1114]

There is a difference between not fully believing how anxious a person is about something (after all Lee did think he was lying about the pens at the time, plus it wasn’t even really his pen, it was from the BBC) and getting all personal and insulting. Repeatedly.

[@danieljliverslxxxix1164]

Lee thought David was lying and when David said he wasn't Lee genuinely felt bad. This Ann person was just nasty.

[@vickywitton1008]

I like birds but am terrified if they flap their wings!

[@katherinel7713]

Apparently I had the wrong definition for posh.

[@the_grand_tourer]

Does finding these 'David being posh' clips not that very posh mean one is also quite posh too? Or has WILTY got a rather low bar for what is posh?

[@jamesdean8785]

Don’t tell Becks

[@russellhargraves7397]

Why are David’s shirt sleeves so long?!

[@lotuseater7247]

The show has played on this notion of him being posh. I think he's just not as common as most of our other comics... or Northern.

[@Nosagram]

I was hoping that Victoria Beckham was paired with him, thus Posh.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

[@roseadams5362]

[@cynthiabell6273]

To me, the laughter on WILTY seems to be canned laughter inserted into the program after it's filmed. Is that true?

[@cuzned1375]

Sorry, how does “a bit afraid of owls” mark him as “posh”? Wait, is Posh Spice a bit afraid of owls?

[@jpm199]

I don't know that much about the English, but it's clear to me that a working-class bloke would never be scared of a few owls, not even a bit. I'm talking about the sort who'd abuse Oliver Twist, of course.

[@DaveDexterMusic]

Because going to an owl sanctuary is considered a posh pastime compared to, say, Wetherspoons.
