Mock the Week Series 19 Episode 4. Tom Allen, Angela Barnes, Ed Byrne, Milton Jones, Thanyia Moore

[@simontaylor4608]

I’m so happy they’re still recording.

[@ronin1915]

Same

[@emporioalnino4670]

Uh oh

[@alyssa-hk2pg]

I like how much more relaxed this show has become. It used to feel so competitive, but now it just feels like a group of friends being funny and actually enjoying themselves. It's a nice change of pace!

[@pacifistattack]

I think a good part of that was Frankie Boyle. He is funny, but it was obvious he always wanted to be the star and hated sharing the stage.

[@alyssa-hk2pg]

@@pacifistattack I completely agree. I love Frankie, but he definitely hogged the microphone when he was on, as did Hugh. It forced everyone else to have to fight their way to the mic, that’s why it was so competitive. If I remember right, some comedians even stopped coming on the show because of it, like Jo Brand. I remember that one episode where Ed Byrne got so frustrated with the microphone hogging that he pushed Hugh and ran off with the microphone lmao

[@chrisboyslimuk5186]

Yeah no you come to mention it I think you are right. It's works too because they are all really enjoying themselves. This was a fantastically funny episode. I've watched it 3 times in a row.

[@cov9290]

I preferred how it used to be. Where everyone was funny not just 2 or 3. The humour was darker then as well which made it better

[@alyssa-hk2pg]

@@cov9290 I understand why you'd feel that way. I love dark humor, and the earlier episodes were absolutely hilarious, especially because of Frankie. I think the Frankie Boyle, Russell Howard, Andy Parsons, Hugh Dennis era was definitely funnier, I just prefer the tone of this era a bit better. Totally get why you would prefer the older episodes better, though!

[@thomaspalazzolo5902]

Milton's hair looks how I feel.

[@Walperion_Music]

Wilder than ever!

[@chrisboyslimuk5186]

Yeah and he's fantastically wild.

[@OrangeKyle91]

You could make a wig for Tom out of that and Milton would still have plenty left.

Milton looks ..... emotional, lets say

[@MxMattyB]

9:49 "We're going to end up with an Australian style deal, you know, years of imprisonment." As Andy Parsons said, "you're never quite sure which week Milton is actually mocking, are you"

[@shmookins]

Milton Jones with that magnificent mane, and a hilarious closing joke by Ed Byrne. THank you for sharing friend.It's awesome people like you that are my only connection to great UK shows.

[@surfacingcom]

Hugh's team has enough hair to even out everyone else on the stage.

This episode was a laugh riot. Really enjoyed the addition of Thanyia Moore - hit the ground running.

[@mph419]

Ed Byrne wins the night, with his Paddington joke somehow being topped by his laugh-out-loud hilarious Cinderella one. Great note to end the show on; love this series.

[@doctorofsarcasm1324]

I’m still chuckling over that line ... two weeks later lol

[@speakerleora]

I watch a lot of Mock the Week and it's so much more fun now. I laugh more, the audience laughs more, and the contestants do too. They're not trying so obviously to one-up and beat out the other guy. The humor seems less mean. Anyway, I really like the group who are around nowadays. Series 19, 18, even 17 have been a pleasure.

[@rosemaryjones5550]

They play off each other’s jokes too

[@Wabajak13]

I think humor in general has moved in that direction finally. You can still be quick, but you have to play off each other more and it's funnier overall

[@Walperion_Music]

yaay Milton's back! And he's wilder than ever!

[@flixbuff]

I can’t believe his hair could get more wilder than before

[@TrondBørgeKrokli]

I am almost certain that this has to be my favourite episode of MTW. Part of it because of all the hilarious gags from Milton Jones, but also because the ones delivered by Ed Byrne are so decisive and well served. The full amount of his jokes in this episode can only be contrasted to some of his somewhat frantic outbursts during some of the older episodes (at least to my mind).😁

Do offices in the UK not allow you to bring personal possession? I've brought my stuff out of an office in cardboard boxes when I got a new job.

[@silvasilvasilva]

I don't think it's forbidden, it's the whole "going away holding a cardboard box" thing that just looks way too emotional for British people to deal with.

[@jesseberg3271]

@@silvasilvasilva I guess I just don't see the emotional aspect you're referring to. In American offices, it's a perfectly normal sight. It can be happy or sad, depending on the person and situation, but all the cardboard box means is that you need to carry your stuff and you don't want to make too many trips. Maybe it's a car thing?

[@silvasilvasilva]

@@jesseberg3271 I think British people just find it too personal to display - why would you show the whole world you're leaving your job? (Crazy, I know, but thaťs how a sizable part of them think). Thaťs why we know the guy in the picture was clearly doing it for the photo op - he knew there would be cameras outside and knew how his British audience would take it - showing vulnerability would humanize him.
