"you could put a gold fish in that glass.....and it wouldn't even die!"

[@IntheeyesofMorbo]

the delivery of "oh and thats a bad miss" gets me every time

[@kardRatzinger]

exactly like Joe Johnson actually says it.

[@jordancrothers6403]

And that's a cracking pot.

[@maryoleary5044]

It's funny 'cos it's true 😂 (remember the darts players sketch with Mel Smith?) 🤣

[@FifteenQs]

As a huge fan of snooker, I can attest that in the old days, players did smoke and drink constantly, and so did the commentary.

[@zapkvr]

Pot black was a riot

[@changer_of_ways_999]

They also fudge packers?

[@cliffgaither]

@FifteenQs :: Not knowing anything about snooker, I appreciate your comment !

[@gazzy5303]

Better days

[@NoahSpurrier]

So did golfers and bowlers. Great athletes then.

[@DavidKa5h]

"Instead all he can do is imagine that pint at the end of the session - that cooling, lagery swallow - and that first suck on a Lambert" so crude yet so poetic

[@yoptastic8463]

Totally mate, my favourite line to quote, it never gets old.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

What is a Lambert? Nothing came up in my search for it.

[@yoptastic8463]

A Lambert is a cigerette brand in the UK - Lambert and Butler, but we just say to each other, "G'us a Lambert". Hope this helps you enjoy M&W snooker commentary even more now, the lagery swallow bit is my favourite bit of this very funny take on 70/80s style snooker commentary. 👍😊

[@MediumShotMarshall]

Look at that. You could put a goldfish in that glass. And it wouldn't even die.

[@Jjboxing]

David Mitchell’s delivery of each line is impeccable .

[@peterclarke7240]

Bloody hell... That snooker drinking game at 1:40 is GENIUS. I'm in awe. 😮

[@St_Rizla]

[@Frosty4427]

These two really do transform when they play these particular characters

[@christopherheppingstall3608]

They nailed it man , snooker in the 70's and 80's they are frighteningly close. Deffo their best work. Gotta watch at world champs time. Thank you Dave and Rob!

[@tonchev88]

"basking in the light of twin suns" is one of my favourite phrases.

[@ronlittlejohn8046]

Despite watching the sketch numerous times I just noticed the “no smoking” sign in the back

[@doctorsuave]

I’ve watch this so many times and I didn’t notice it til I read your comment

[@kardRatzinger]

"Peter Ebdon, in particular, looks ridiculous". Brilliant.

[@CricketEngland]

The best characters Mitchell and Webb did. They must have drunk so much cold tea doing these

[@paulssx79]

David Mitchell is amazing. Can't get enough of him.

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

Robert Webb is class too. Great double act.

[@lazarathe089]

@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi They are good yeah, but they aren't nearly as great as Fish & Chip or Pin & Cushion.

[@eddietemple2302]

I don't know why these characters are so unpopular, as far as I'm concerned this is some of M+W's absolute best work. Edit - As excited as I am to receive replies to my comments, I'd love to point out to those of you still trying to engage me on this topic that this comment was posted 7 years ago.

[@JohnDoe-vz7bn]

Eddie Temple how are they unpopular

[@dogphlap6749]

Agreed.

[@jordancrothers6403]

110% love the cap off with dog poker

[@dannydorko7075]

one of the very few sketches from them that I just can't watch. Don't find it funny at all.

[@ericmoody3944]

I didn't like the snooker skits when I first started watching, but now I enjoy them.

[@fessellsahmed2587]

I love this humour. Grew up watching snooker in 70s and it was just like this 😂😂😂😂😂

[@annuvynarawn392]

They did a lot of very good stuff but these two characters are up there with the very best of their work

[@eliof.7310]

1:39 Best sketch in my opinion. He has to refill the glass on the black spot XD

[@thetruth156real3]

I hope you all know that some of these lines were taken from actual snooker commentators talking about Paul Hunter, they would actually say these things and at the time we would laugh and repeat them, “ The lovely Paul Hunter what an Adonis, and his beautiful girlfriend sat watching this marvellous man..........”. And now it’s great to see these two noticed it!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@andrewt836]

RIP Paul Hunter

[@thetruth156real3]

Andrew T Why are people so maudlin over people they have never met, even in reference to a comedy sketch they are thinking of death and mourning. You must have a very miserable life. R.i.p.

[@andrewt836]

liddy paul What a strange thing to get triggered by. Fuck off you judgemental prick

[@thetruth156real3]

Andrew T No I just get sick of people’s false sentiments, was watching Gary Moore guitar clip, astonishing! People’s comments were= r.i.p. Gary. He’s with the Angels now. Life taken too short. This is not the forum for eulogies.

[@andrewt836]

liddy paul guess what. It turns out people can write what they want in the comments section. There are no rules you bellend.

[@tomacrux334]

"Oh shit the kids!!!" My husband and I say that line ALLLLLLLL the time! XD We still crack up!!! Best sketch ever.

[@VirtualKnight64]

I used to say that line with my cousins!

[@zapkvr0101]

Made me all melancholy about me dad. He were often away at Xmas. Pissed asleep.

[@SpitshineSneakers]

funny how quickly it turns from drunk jokes to homoerotic jokes

[@peterclarke7240]

We've all been there once we've had a few. Makes sense, too: you're nice and relaxed, you're much more amenable to trying new things, and you don't have to worry about not being able to get a boner. 🤣

[@beatriceblake5201]

"Not a look to be taken lightly especially at around 2am in the morning on the streets of Derby if the media are to be believed..."

[@74andraste]

Damn, I wish this show was still in production. So much funnier than SNL.

[@zapkvr]

Not as funny as Mad TV

[@GreenEyedDazzler]

@@zapkvr lmao madtv and SNL might have a sketch or two but they are overall terrible

[@bluespectralmonkey]

So, so funny 😂 (reminds me of the NTNON darts sketch!) 😆

[@richardpaxford5792]

"Another double vodka."

[@discomfort5760]

As an ex-smoker, Mitchell's way of smoking in this character just makes me crave for one cigarette.

[@elijahsinclair7219]

don’t.

[@unclekarl5219]

Delicious smoky cigarettes

[@kotw1432]

The duality of man in can be seen in the other two replies

[@brodiemanthe1st]

"It's like Christmas, isn't it?" "It *IS* Christmas." "Aww shit! The kids!"

[@tomstech4390]

God I miss those dimpled beer mugs, Packets of peanuts and all the other things like this in real pubs. Haven't seen a good pub like that since I was 10.

[@BiggyJimbo]

They're still out there, you just have to know where to look. Also, I have a couple of the dimpled beer mugs at home (and a few Steins haha!). Beer just tastes better out of them for some reason..

[@St_Rizla]

​@@BiggyJimboI recently bought some dimple glasses and Steins because of this sketch haha

[@BiggyJimbo]

@@St_Rizla Haha they're great, just feels better to drink out of them than a normal glass

They need to come back and do this show again. It's so much better than the sketch shows we have in the states.

[@mdj2061]

I would suggest that David Mitchell would make a great Penguin in a Batman movie

[@richardpaxford5792]

It would be very creepy to hear the words: "Oh and that's a bad miss..." as the villain steps out of the shadows.

[@damienbosso98]

I really love the aesthetic of the background. Don't know why

[@onewithsource9742]

Takes me back to being a kid and going round an older gens house. They'd have the same colours and decor styles as this - everyone did back then
