That Mitchell and Webb Look - Chiropractor

Sketch from the UK TV show

[@Lexi-zq1zd]

This is incredible!! They smashed down the 4th wall better than any other show

[@1Spriggzy1]

Gotta watch 'a bit of fry and laurie' They did a similar thing about stealing a joke, i think it was about a smell at a restaurant

[@Missespelt]

Space balls did it the best

[@bobdole4916]

@@Missespelt It's also done really well by the guys who made Airplane! and The Naked Gun movies.

[@bumhandle]

And the 5th

[@kitwew]

I love the sound of "Genuinely amusing Chiropracting stories"

[@Cresanova]

M&W´s meta sketches are the best ones by far. this is just pure genius comedy

[@leandrews27]

I love how now Olivia Colman is a serious actress with two BAFTAs, and she's here playing a completely bonkers part!

[@airmackeeee6792]

... and now an Academy Award.

[@Communist-Doge]

😂 I love all these comments!

[@philipocarroll]

I much prefer her comic work

[@rorynell4962]

As if it doesn’t take a tonne of skill to be good at sketches and small comedic roles.

[@lolcats4ever]

it's a shame to see her go so downhill

[@HarrisJamesBen]

@leprechaun192 That was a live audience, they film as many of their sketches as possible in front of one to get a genuine laughter track, I was lucky enough to get tickets to be in the audience for series 3.

[@ingrid9635]

Really? Did you get to go? How was it? I'm genuinely interested

[@Will_Kerrs]

I like how they've increased the size of his goatee and glasses, in the sketch chiropractor character.

[@andymcnish]

I like how Webb stays in character and keeps his lisp when apologising to the 'real' chiropractor

[@RIPdementia]

I thought this was very clever and, as comedy sketches go, not particularly predictable. I love how M&W blur the fourth wall with such skill :)

[@TheCrippledEgg]

2:11 Oscar-winner Olivia Coleman

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Colman. Woman of coal.

[@AnthonyFlack]

@@QuadMochaMatti may her carbon footprint not trample on the bark-man's delicate wood.

[@vibraphonics]

This must be partly inspired by Fry & Laurie's 'that's my sketch' sketch when an old man in the audience complains to them

[@jamesflynn4951]

It would have just been perfect if the chiropractor was played by Hugh Laurie.

[@BuddySweyzer]

"First off, I don't sound anything like that" "Thowy"

[@Thatonedude917]

Wow this is genius, how am I just discovering Mitchell and Webb now

[@hnccox]

Me too 😩

[@Wattywatasaurus]

The best Matt Lucas and David Walliams could come up with was a pretend-cripple pissing in an occupied swimming pool. These guys did a meta-sketch featuring a chiropractor.

[@romainsavioz5466]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[@bletheringfool]

both are funny so what's your point?

[@flankspeed]

BRILLIANT!! A CHARACTER!

[@MarxistKnight]

For some reason I just completely lose control at "gratsluitslouslh splteeltch impediment"

[@XxJojobaNoblexX]

love this so much

[@kailabre]

Best sketch !

[@Hayleyfire929]

@HarrisJamesBen Aaahhh, that answers my age-old question of "How the hell do they get such realistically sounding canned laughter in this show?!" :P

[@lcorinth]

A sketch takes a turn for the meta...

[@1574me]

their meta-sketches are my favorite :)

[@natcomber13]

Very clever sketch!

[@thefartydoctor]

here's yer paperwehk serr!

[@ephemera...]

thefartydoctor hahaha.

[@Slapbass13]

Yes. That was a good sketch too!

[@reputablehype]

Clearly Christopher Nolan watches That Mitchell and Webb Look

[@peter_pansexual6243]

Give that women a Oscar

[@theJuggler07]

this is the funniest 1 ever!

[@midguardz]

the chiropractor sounds like little britain with the paraplegic sketches

[@kisbie]

Clearly inspired by the Fry & Laurie episode where the guy keeps coming out of the audience to accuse them of stealing his material.

[@portostrengthunion]

Please share a clip

[@ragerancher]

Would have been hilarious if they had Fry and Laurie in the audience to accuse them of that

[@observer4916]

this is genius

[@castawayboat]

1'st time you see it its wonderous. Make the best of it cos once you know the joke all the funny is sucked out of it. Supert, clever writing.

[@ShonaLavellan]

HERE'S YER PAPERWERK SIR!

[@z8000783]

@leprechaun192 Was all that filmed in front of a live audience?

[@moonrockguy]

Tschorry!

[@samuraipigeon]

Anyone else see the 'A Bit Of Fry And Laurie' sketch where the same thing happened but with an angry fan who claimed they stole his material?

[@joebleasdale5557]

HERE'S YER PAPERWERK SON!!!!

[@ephemera...]

Joseph Bleasdale Thank you!

[@romainsavioz5466]

Sir

[@Bootstrap193]

coccyx is a funny word

[@dragonforce525]

Alright Lily, calm down.

[@ephemera...]

So meta!

[@kneazle3603]

that's the point

[@multitudinal]

how do you know?

[@Metal-Possum]

I like how they reused Roy's "Do these glasses make me look like a bastard" glasses from The IT Crowd. I guess Channel 4 just have a props cupboard for shit like this.

[@alexanderberletic549]

you've got shit on your head.

[@PickleSurpriseVEVO]

Nah this was on bbc2

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Is that like a certain stationery cupboard, where certain captains are known to go about flying without a license, after discussing topics like "personal cheese"?

[@0LoneTech]

This is exactly why Ford Prefect in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy finds a bunch of useless Doctor Who paraphernalia while searching for something useful.

[@JaceDanielFilms]

what the hell does that have to do with anything?!

[@GrumblingGrognard]

...and he writes it down. :-)

[@alexanderberletic549]

15 years after uploading I came back for Coccyx

[@owaffs]

@rabidtangerine I think this sketch is all a bit crap intentionally just to make the end bit a funnier punchline.

[@Wallij15]

What sketch was there's?

[@Wallij15]

What sketch?

[@vincentwashum9876]

Is this episode 72?

[@owenhunt]

So is real life.

[@petitio_principii]

I thought it was going to be mocking chiropractics as a science, like the homeopathy sketch. Except that focusing on how it's potentially actively dangerous nonsense rather than mostly innocuous nonsense.

[@Thebdippy]

0:35

[@multitudinal]

was that his real chiropractor?

[@fiercedietyfan]

02:22 is that Brian cox in the audience? near the front on the left of the chiropracter

[@piennuivelo]

It's Brian Coccyx

[@ephemera...]

fiercedietyfan hahaha

[@merson21r]

Too much but still good...DC

[@ricardoxvii]

lol, they are so clever, so unique

[@jamierourketen]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@rad4924]

I'm not surprised Olivia Coleman won an Oscar, I didn't even recognise her here. Frankly I'm surprised she didn't win for this sketch.

[@squamish4244]

@tehmadcap Yeah as if seeing Robert Webb in high heels and pantyhose isn't funny enough. They wanted to do a stupid sketch, they just happened to choose a chiropractic office. Stop whining.

[@hedy_dramatur]

What exactly does Jesus have to do with chiropractors?

[@supercompooper]

This breaks the fifth and six walls 🤣😜

[@GreenElixir]

Wow, Robert has great legs ^-^

[@hedy_dramatur]

@AngelBiLove Chiropractors are essentially masseuses, and Jesus of Nazareth definitely existed (whether or not he was the Son of God is a matter of opinion).

[@cowman850]

Chiropractic is the one true science

[@guppyninja]

yes because jesus wrote a large amount of well known scientific(for the time) books did he? and Plato's work has obviously been chopped, changed, added to and taken away from, roughly translated and revised just as much as the bible hasn't it?

[@viridismonasteriense]

excellent sketch. a lot like fry and laurie actually. terrific punchline. will you people please stop discussing religion here? Try a sketch that does involve or comment on the stupidity of religion somehow. Disrespect religion all you want, but respect (good) comedy!

[@JaceDanielFilms]

not science, philosophy. Its just a little silly to say someone never existed when there is so much evidence. And has been spoken of in many different religions. There is no way to prove he was the son of God or not, but he still was a living person. Why dont you think he existed?

[@guppyninja]

Because from the evidence within the bible the jesus described to us is actually a conglomeration of myths from several older cultures (greek, roman zoarastrian, hindi, jewish, steppes paganism, germanic paganism ect) pieced together with some descriptions of the many 'prophets' which were preaching around the time attributed to his existance. If there was a jesus then he is more like a symbolic avatar of religion at this time than anything else. and where is the evidence exactly? the bible? ha.

[@uiruu]

You're kidding right? People use those words as insults all the time.

[@psagar]

After watching Mitchell and Webb poke fun at Homeopathy, I do wonder whether David actually goes to a Chiropracter. It's the same realm of pseudoscience.

[@krashd]

Not really, that's like comparing massage to hypnotism.

[@TheMistercrowley]

Rob Fraser actually chiropractic is alternative medicine and still largely unfoudned

[@squamish4244]

@tehmadcap Yeah as if seeing Robert Webb in high heels and pantyhose isn't funny enough. Stop your whining.

[@Dilkingt0nne]

Flat out stole this concept off fry and Laurie js

[@billpugh58]

But made it better, the F&L one ends lamely.

[@Dilkingt0nne]

@@billpugh58 true

[@Festivejelly]

Fuck me... the amount of people gushing over Olivia Coleman winning an Oscar or Baftas. She was average in this and she's average now. Ever seen her do any truly out of character roles? Nope... average.

[@rabidtangerine]

I laughed a bit at the end but this one kinda failed....

[@Htrac]

I love Mitchell and Webb but you guys are giving this sketch more credit than it deserves. It's actually quite predictable, in fact you can tell where it's going after only 15 seconds and not need to see the rest.

[@martinh88]

The only joke here is the pseudoscience that is chiropractics

[@BrettHarvey]

if its sinful, don't watch it and stop trying to push your religious on all.

[@Blancheboy07]

That Mitchell and Webb Look is not a funny as people say it is.

[@CrsFire]

there isn't any evidence or "records the romans left behind" . apart from the 4 gospels (written 200 after his death) there is no evidence that jesus ever existed. anyway please dont reply 'cause i dont want this to become an endless flame war on a mitchell and webb sketch. i respect you if you believe in jesus but don't say there's any evidence of his existence other than the bible, cause im sure people are getting bored of reading what is turning into an essay.

[@ephemera...]

sebastian lowe ‘please don’t reply’. Hahaha

[@CrsFire]

no there is written evidence of plato that originates from the time of his life, there is no such evidence for jesus.

[@psxiiuk]

This video is sinful. Find GOD.

[@labangrankvist2993]

Hope you've grown a brain during the 12 years since you made this comment.

Lauren Andrews Oscar now!
