[@gabrielepresby9120]

I love Nick Mohamed.

[@Simonesayshi]

Saw some haters on Twitter and here too, but I thought this was so funny! Love Nick.

I dont think americans get that Mr Swallows is supposed to be a bit cringe and he plays up the awkwardness of like a holiday caravan park entertainer lol

[@NeungView]

I don't think you understand we don't care what you think what americans understand. The BAFTAs in not meant for Americans.

I wqs just listening to Nick Mohammed tell the origin story of Mr. Swallow on Rob Brydon's podcast "Brydon &." (October 24, 2024) • Mr. Swallow was first performed at Footlights, Cambridge University • The voice is an impression of a schoolteacher Nick had at school in Leeds. _"It's a she. She would just talk like that. So it's quite camp,"_ Nick said. • _"He's a know it all. A jack of all trades and a master of none."_

[@catherinemitchell944]

This was totally incongruous with the BAFTAs, which is why it tickled me so much! 🤭❤

[@BrainDammage1973]

The perfect time to bring out Mr Swallow.

[@joanne_orc]

I love Nick's Mr Swallow act 😅 I can spot the, only know him from Ted Lasso commentators.

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

I'd never heard of Mr. Swallow until a few people mentioned it in TM comments re Nick. I'd love to see a sketch where Mr. Swallow encounters Ms. Swan (my favorite character from the US sketch show, Mad TV). Complete and total chaos would ensue. (That will never happen, though, because Alex Borstein moved on to other things like Family Guy and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.)

[@matthewhuxtable1557]

They had no idea...

[@folarinosibodu]

Would have never guessed he could act like this, only seeing him in Ted Lasso.

[@hivanaghibi1998]

Love him❤😂

He is fantastic!!👏🏻😂😂

That was cute 😂

[@mamsf]

why is this guy famous?

[@hellodavey1902]

lol very few 8 out of 10 cats fans in this section… more full of people who thought Ted Lasso was good 😂

[@roberthanisko9749]

WTF?!

This type of routine is not for the baftas or award shows in general

[@biegebythesea6775]

yeh it's just weird

[@anianikka]

it was like watching any other 8 cats dictionary corner bits, tedious and irritating

[@subculture2006]

This country has a tradition of so many funny stand up acts. This was just embarrassing.

[@imalwaysright]

I'll remember him as Nate Must be a British humor thing, because I found this and most of the awards writing cringe

[@BradleyWynne]

The whole bafta awards are cringy, I don't find what most British people find hysterical funny at all.🤷

This was horrible. The thing is is was too fast and the jokes didn't land properly. Also, read the room. Yes is the BAFTAs but half of the room is American. Unprepared mess.

"Yes is the BAFTAs" end of sentence; British comedians are showcased, the Americans can swivel.
