That Mitchell and Webb Look - Snooker 2

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

"Oh, and that's a bad miss..." Never gets old.

[@valkenburgert]

Legendary indeed.

[@SeeStuDo]

Kills me every time.

[@jedsithor]

I love that every time they show a glimpse of snooker before cutting to them in the booth it's always the exact same shot.

[@cameronw3159]

Possibly the best characters in the entirety of these two’s careers. Just classic

[@L.i.am95]

I just got into them and saw the first skit yesterday and it had me rolling haha just too damn funny

[@andrewmaccallum2367]

May i add... Sir Digby Chicken Caeser and Ginger, to the mix?

[@valkenburgert]

“Are we the baddies?” Is so valuable because people don’t like to re-examine their core beliefs. To me that sketch is therefore of a different level, the concept is one of the deepest concepts I know in any sketch ever. So i place those characters on a different level as well. With those exceptions I can agree with you though 🤣

[@lewissmith3896]

My favourites.

[@frflinstone]

Spot on mate although Digby chicken Carsar runs it pretty close.

[@darkprose]

I love just about everything these two do together, and these two characters in particular are the best of their best. Which is saying something.

[@funkophone]

I love the dynamic these two have. Bloody hilarious idea for a sketch.

[@milkjester]

"and viewers in the north may be experiencing some sound interferance..."

[@stephaniecarr6984]

" we talked about what I was afraid of, and established that you wouldn't do it to me..." Brilliant! Lol!!

[@emilyjadeoliver]

I know this is a comedy skit, but I see these two fictional characters coming from dreary backgrounds, and this time together, getting drunk, is their luxury in life. Some see comedy; I see a blossoming friendship and happiness.

[@hsnell1222]

I quite agree, their whole relationship is oddly rather wholesome. I like how despite being completely insensitive in their choice of words they still accept their suicidal and homosexual friends

[@raithrover1976]

"particularly when I'd be on me guard" Lol.

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

I always felt like even in the context of the sketch the dialogue was all pretense for that gag and I love it, lol.

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

For those who don't know/remember, in the mid-90s a lot of TV signals to Scotland and the north of England were piggybacked off of transmitters halfway. This would lead to bad signal on many programmes, with on screen messages and commentary mentioning it from time to time.

[@LeofromFreo]

PavarottiAardvark Australian here. I always wondered how that worked. Thanks for explaining. 📺 I have no idea how it worked early on for Sydney to Melbourne. I understand it was by phone lines and then microwave??? Satellite now, I suppose.

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

@@LeofromFreo Yeah Sydney and Melbourne had to use totally different systems to each other. Melbourne had big transmitters on hills, but Sydney had to use relay stations because it's in a basin.

[@GigglesClifton9]

Terry Stevens there. Potting away, like the whole world is made of pocket.

[@lyonsja1]

There's something about their delivery of "out of pocket" that makes it much funnier than it should be.

[@pointerxtoxin]

They really make me believe that this joke is among the most devastatingly hilarious things either of these characters have ever experienced. Magic.

[@cowman850]

“When your wife’s about to go public you think I better cash in before she does” wow it’s like they predicted Phillip Schofield

[@blackfox2910]

I was deeply ashamed to take it off like 69, but it was worth it.

[@richardpaxford5792]

"Welcome back, to Late Night Dog Poker!" 😂

[@Keytaster]

The Alex Higgins reference at 2:13 is just epic :-D

[@dot2562]

Feels which glass is warm 🤣🤣🤣

[@hadriscus]

The closing line is so perfect

[@tomatoseed1]

the last skit was amazing

[@Fastwunz]

This is just the best sketch

[@SteVeThe3rd]

god, this is my dream job

[@momotheelder7124]

David Mitchell looks a bit like the Penguin in this

[@PalmBaiReader]

pingu?

[@kevinotoole885]

They capture the essence of a couple of alcoholic chain smokers just brilliantly! So funny, wish they would make some new stuff, TV needs a good sketch show or two.

[@pavlov58]

KZbin killed sketch shows. Everyone uploads the bits to youtube, and nobody buys the dvds/blurays

[@evildumdum7]

this is no time for me to turn me back on him.... particularly in the booth...

[@captainbackflash]

For me, Snooker will never be what is have been!

[@captainbackflash]

Sorry, I am not english!

[@coconutsmarties]

​@@captainbackflashDon't apologise 😊

[@headfirst1987]

While jimmy there, is out of pocket....in more ways than one!................yes, that was a good one!

[@helipeek2736]

It is Ted, I’ve checked.

[@123maxine123]

I might have overdid it with the yeast!

[@FifteenQs]

To be honest, I'm not sure how fair a comment it is now, but certainly 20-30 years ago, most snooker fans were northern, and it was seen as a commoner's game dressed up. Nowadays it's a little more dispersed, particularly with the masterclass of Ronnie O'Sullivan having a decent fanbase in the capital.

[@poundlandvodka]

I'm gay and this is fucking hilarious.

[@coconutsmarties]

I'm brown and I agree.

[@simonpentwyn]

Thanks for this.

[@St_Rizla]

2:37 its funny, the word queer got reclaimed and now it's considered PC

[@numberman52]

particularly in the booth

[@Zimtastic]

You would have to get bloody sotted to be a pool commentator just to avoid boredom, this is awesome

[@xphoebe25]

It’s enough to make me want to get into snooker

[@capslockcapable1719]

OUT. OF. POCKET!

[@olipritchard8151]

And while we're on the subject. . . 🤣

[@neilcarpenter2669]

Brilliant .

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Moral of the story? Never turn your back on anyone when in a booth. It almost speaks for itself.

[@erichofmeister521]

They won’t just walk right up and do it to you if you don’t want them.

[@helensearle1896]

Ever notice how it's always the people you would never ever have sex with who worry about whether you're going to grab them?

[@DrZaius3141]

@@helensearle1896 Of course. The people who noone wants to sleep with just naturally either become better people (which makes them more f-able) or turn to rapey fantasies. Then they project their own lack of boundaries onto others.

[@xrach2006x]

I don't know how they keep a straight face.

[@PalmBaiReader]

many takes

[@coconutsmarties]

I'd call it more a queer face

[@shannonpincombe8485]

These two men are one of the most outstanding comedy duos. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Male comedy duos are my favourite form of comedy." The Two Ronnies, Fry and Laurie, Hale and Pace, Harry and Paul, Gervais and Merchant and, finally Mitchell and Webb. I'm sure everyone playing along at home will agree...."That's Wordwang!". Not, um, Numberwang as I didn't use any unrelated, irrelevant numbers....you see? I hope everyone enjoys these vids as much as I.

[@fnord43]

OK, but what does Numberwang have to do with unrelated, irrelevant numbers?

[@sacundim]

You forgot Fish and Cushion

[@capslockcapable1719]

Armstrong and Miller

[@JosephJamesScott]

Abbott and Costello? Probably before most people's time these days but I'd wager everyone of the comedy duos knew about Abbott and Costello.

[@Pacman420]

Gervais is a hack compared to these guys, Merchant was definitely the better of those two.

[@hamishwhitehenderson5197]

who else I reminded of Drunken Bakers from the Viz.

[@tonydoherty2190]

No time to turn my back on him particularly in the booth

[@jopalm3649]

The only way to endure watching (and commentating) hours of snooker, I guess.

[@Gabagabe1]

I'm not familiar with the UK's demographics and regions, can you explain? I assume it's a jab at those at the North, for whom snooker entertains?

[@timbeaton5045]

@Corvo Fox-Gray (and also to Gabab) Well that "North-South" thing (or indeed East-West, depending on geographical locations around the world!) is of course only partially true. But that, as I'm sure you know is sort of the point of comedy like this. Satirising attitudes and prejudices. Being a Londoner, i had a partner who came from Darlington, a classic "North South" relationship. On my first visit (Oop North!) when i went to the pub to meet her friends, when i was asked what i wanted to drink, i of course did the manly thing, and requested a half of shandy. It broke the ice! PS it certainly WAS well worth the 8 year wait! 😁

O'Sullivan. That is all.
