Many years ago the was a spoof alien invasion program on Xmas day. My mum walked in looked at the TV where two reporters stood by the Thames where a huge spaceship hovered. She asked is this real, I replied yes. She looked thoughtful for about 30 seconds then said, I haven't got time for this I need help in the kitchen.
Do you remember what it was called? I remember as a kid being woken up in the middle of the night to a news report about aliens invading and as the hour and however long the ships got closer and closer. God, I was shitting it! 😂
@@FahadAyaz I don't remember, I was about 20 at the time which would make it around 45 years ago.
I remember the haunted house one on bbc that was hilarious
@@scottking869 if that was the poltergeist one it was awful.
@@scottking869 Are you thinking of the legendary Ghostwatch?
Mitchell and Web did some great sketches and characters, the snooker commentators are great, but the best one they did is called 'are we the baddies?' As two soldiers slowly work out which side they are on.
They did loads of great sketches, the one where the office manager shoots all his staff for using incorrect grammar always cracks me up.
And the house hunting program. Avocado bathroom suite or something like that. Edit: the copper and the pcso.
@@georgecaplin9075 EB has done the Avocado bathroom. I have a vague memory that he also did "Are we the baddies?" but it got blocked or his camera broke or something.
@@beeble2003 ok, I’ll watch that. I do like grammar na2i as well.
The "Everything's Fine" News sketch makes me laugh. A positive spin on the news for once.
"If, for some reason, you're more interested in the news than what someone you've never met think abouts the news" is a peak David MItchell line.
Reminds me of a radio skit I heard some years ago: the "news reader" detailed all sorts of dire happenings stemming from an alien invasion, then ended the bulletin with "and now, cricket".
Mitchell and Webb are hilarious, please do, do more of these! Also, if you like this you should definitely watch the series Peep Show. It stars both of these and is a British classic!
Please react to Peep Show! Also, more Bottom 😁
...and Inbetweeners!
My favorite is "Are we the baddies?".
Can't wait till you react to Mitchell and Webb - The Event
REMAIN INDOORS
DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE EVENT
You need to see Mitchell and Webb “The Event”.
I love your chortles and chu kles. They are infectious! Mitchell and Webb brilliant. Armstrong and Miller brilliant. Nobody can say we brits dont have a good sense of irony in our humour. You seem to really get it so i am proclaiming you an honorary brit x
Thank you! They have so many good sketches: Try watching the ones called "Are we the baddies", "grammar nazi", "kill the poor" and "Mitchell and Webb's Kitchen Nightmares". 😀
Reminds me of something I saw a long time ago on Russell Howards Good News where they were talking about the difference between American and UK News with the Ebola virus.
Often wondered what type of event would make news casters actually stop and become like us, the public? Great sketch showing just my thoughts. 😂😂😂 Great vid 👍😀
Loved this, good job my good man 🤘🇬🇧🤘
"Everything is scripted" is another great Mitchell and Webb.
Wish there was more Mitchell and Webb !
Legends..
Mitchell and Webb Numberwang sketches are hilarious
We do this kind of thing pretty well. There was a BBC audio version of Independence Day that was what was happening in the Uk while Geoff Goldblum and Will Smith were saving the world. The first half of it is very like Orson Wells' War of the Worlds done as spoof radio broadcasts. I particularly remember the outside broadcast team on the roof of the building being cut off abruptly as they are destroyed followed by a return to the studio. Not a comedy - though it does have its amusing moments (listen out for the commentary from the helicopter that usually does the traffic reports) but a nice little side dish to go with the main course of the original movie. The Mitchell and Webb sketch is brilliant for how well it convinces me that this is exactly how the media would react. And hilarious, of course.
They have so many quality sketches Mitchell and Webb, ^oo^
So funny! I love those two.
Brilliant. Subscribed.
Love these two really funny👍😂😂❤
More Mitchel and Webb. Drunk hotel is a 2 part sketch very funny
Such a brilliant bit of satire of general public sound bites in news today, reminds me of Charlie Brooker’s bit from
Newswipe
‘How to Report the News’ is what it’s called, it’s short, funny and definitely worth a watch
Oh and as a gamer Alan, I’d highly recommend his one off Gameswipe, it’s a bit dated now but still funny. For reference Charlie Brooker is the creator and original writer of Black Mirror
There are literally some BBC anchors who would do this out of professionalism. And some who would do this out of mindlessness.
Best line I’ve ever heard that explains so many things.
“Just because; Human. That’s why”
I've seen this a few times but it's way funnier watching it with you!
About 25 years ago in Drama class, me and a guy did almost the same routine. We were news anchors just casually reporting on an invasion. The 3rd member of our team was a weather girl and she was showing where the aliens had taken over and pointing out on the map.
I'm in no way saying that this is a stolen idea. I'm just saying that me and friends did it while at school.
There's a saying that there is only 7 jokes. It's just the flourish and delivery can make those 7 into 7 million.
The general deadpan reaction to the aline invasion reminds me of the Beadles about alien prank many years ago and how the woman whose garden wound up being the stage asked the visitor if they wanted a cup of tea.
English response to anything terrible or catastrophic: "oh dear".
you only know it is really serious when we offer to pop the kettle on
Have a cup of tea, then we'll sort it out. I don't feel right without my morning cuppa.
Here's another English response for you: Many years ago I had a very bad car accident. My leg was smashed and repaired with a metal rod, my arm was broken, I had multiple lacerations and one of my fingers had been amputated. I remember regaining consciousness in a hospital bed with my very worried father at my bedside. 'My God, son!' he said shakily, 'How are you feeling?' My response was: 'Not so bad, thanks. How are you?'
@@stevenlagoe7808 really hope you are feeling better. That's what I say to everyone, even when I feel absolutely far from fine. Strange lot aren't we.
Have you seen any of David Mitchell's The Upstart Crow?
You should take a look at the final sketch of the final series. Their Old Holmes sketch is just superb.
Essential Mitchell and Webb:
The Baddies
Moon Landing Conspiracy
The Good Samaritan
Homeopathy A&E (A&E= ER)
Hey I've not seen this channel before; but as someone from Leeds, can I just heartily commend the LUFC badge and White Rose flag! ^__^ Yorkshire!
Got my degree from Leeds in '91. I was wondering why the white rose was up there!!!!
Take a look at Armstrong and Miller’s ‘Sacrifice the Weatherman’ …. Also very funny.
If I was to ring me Ma tell her about alien invasion her response would be "Are you coming round for your tea!"
I'm digging the Leeds stuff behind your head. I'm Leeds, born and bred!
Love You EB
Hilarious, from UK 🇬🇧
Mitchell and Webb .. "Remain Indoors"
that made me cry
Would definitely love to see more M & W reactions. Not sure if you've reacted to any Karl Pilkington stuff or not (I think you have), but would definitely love to see more reactions to him as well. There's so much great stuff to react to there, like Rockbusters, Educating Ricky, An Idiot Abroad, The Moaning Of Life etc.
Love Mitchell and Webb 🤣🤣🤣
That was brillant
You need to watch their classic "Are we the baddies?" sketch!
If you haven’t seen it already you should watch Mitchell and Webb’s fake moon landing sketch.
You should see Mitchell and Webb’s hilarious sketches “Grammar Nazi” and “The Green Clarinet”.
You should definitely check out Mitchell and Webb's The Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar. Comedy gold!
Any more interviews planned.
At some point in the future yes. I have a few folks I've got to get back with on schedules.
Check out their sketches on conspiracy theories - moon landing, Princess Diana murder etc. GOLDEN!
Mitchell and Webb, some of the funniest stuff out there. Now, please get back to fixing these potholes around here mate! LOL
Mitchell and Webb Homeopathic ER - or something like that.... They have so much good material that I am only now just discovering...
Great stuff! I recommend Armstrong and Miller if you haven't come across them yet. Are you growing back your big beard 🤔?🇬🇧
You should look into their "series" The Event from the same Mitchell & Webb show.
I think you are right. It's like the musicians continuing to play on the Titanic. Carry on as normal.
I agree with swan champ below, "are we the baddies" is a brilliant sketch from Mitchell & Webb. Another I would highly recommend watching is by Cardinal Burns and it's called "Vomit Cops", has me in stitches everytime I watch it.
have you done the lindon tree sketch yet,
Mitchell and Webb Apprentice is a very good one
You should check out Mitchell and Webb, "Remain Indoors" collection. Also check out Mitchell and Webb, "Now We Know" and Mitchell and Webb, "KKK Sketch". Mitchell and Webb, "Are We The Baddies".
You have to do a reactions video to "Are we the baddies?" its hilarious!
I've only recently subbed so ignore if you have done some of these already but I'd look into Black Adder, Red Dwarf, Young Ones, It's not the nine o'clock news, the IT crowd, green wing, spaced, monty python, goodness grascious me, and faulty towers. All contempories or influences on modern British comedy.
Mitchell and Webb are hilarious and Robert Webb was born in my hometown of Boston U.K.
Try Smell of Linden trees.
Let's not forget the inevitable CZcams 'reacting to alien invasion' videos....
aliens... "we come in peace" ....
humans..."did you take the jab"?
You should check out their “Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar”.
wished they'd signed off with "... and here's Annabel with the weather" :)
It you want to see some more apocalyptic goodness then Mitchell and Webb sketches “Remain Indoors” are good.
Thanks mate YNWA 🔴👊🏻👍🏻
orson wells war of the worlds broadcast on radio had people panicking in the USA
You must review the "how cheese is made" sketch
Here in the UK, the aliens are not using spaceships, they are using dingys instead.
When the first WAR of the WORLDS was broadcast on radio , people were actually going nuts , thinking it WAS
real . 👽 🛸
I highly recommend you find “world of wine” by Punt & Dennis.
This is exactly how the news would be
Have you seen the "Brain Surgery " sketch .
Us brits would say they were over dramatising and put the kettle on.
You need to check out Mitchell and Webb- Creepy Producer
Hilarious mate haha
something that is hard to find in good quality but was absolute rock solid gold was a series by an political satirist/mpressionist, Rory Bremner. Three in particular.
Between Iraq and a hard place.
Beyond Iraq and a hard place.
Beneath Iraq and a hard place.
basically before, during and after the invasion/war.
this one is less of a reaction request because the videos that are on youtube arent the best quality. plus this isnt only for you but for anyone reading who has never watched or heard of the series.
He had a tv show with two other guys, John Bird and John Fortune (who has since passed away), Bremner, Bird and Fortune.
honestly it's a treasure trove, but it takes the mick out of politicians both british and american, from the 00s era. The british labour government of that time especially, so maybe you wouldnt get some of the references in there esp when they concern things taking place in the britain back then. Still, the american stuff taking the mick out of the neo-cons was actually pretty dark.
He had them all sussed out and for me, it was total education.
there was a 4 parter in the Bremner bird and fortune series called Silly Money, breaking down western capitalism, again it's pretty dark when you dwell on it, but this was comedy/political satire at its best. Certainly not a waste of time and still very relevant. It's all on youtube btw.
An excellent example of British politics can be found on this mashup: BORIS BOP (Boris Johnson x Stormzy's Vossi Bop). Please check it out - it's really funny.
Sad but true thinking about the next premonition
Promotion
Mitchel and Webb "Are we the baddies?" or any of Armstrong and Miller's the Origin of sketches are great czcams.com/video/b56eAUCTLok/video.html
Do the Vectron one.
You should check out "David Mitchell's soap box rants" they are brilliant.
"Eclectic Blurred"
I can just imagine how those at Fox news would react..lol
They'd be the exact opposite. An actual crab washes ashore and they make it out to be some kind of uprising!
Mitchell and webb "The Incident" Check it out
When "War Of The World's" was broadcast in the US people believed it was a real invasion
🤣🤣🤣
Omicron Persei 8 has had enough of our shit!
What's your camera's FAVOURITE drink?
You should check out Peter O’hanraha-hanrahan on ‘the day today’
I would love to see you react to JASON BYRON SPECIAL EYE X
You gotta watch the peep show it’s one of the best I’ve watched it over and over
You have to react to Ali G interviews Posh and Becs
Mitchell and Webb - The Inebriati
😆👍
Comment for the algorithm.
Try and check out these guys doing the sketch where they are SS guys and are wondering if they are actually the bad guys 👍🏴
Check out Peep Show, some genius comedy in the multiple series.
I wonder if this is "The Event"?
Don’t mention “The Event”!
Remain indoors.
Watch the movie "Don't look up".
For anyone who has not checked it out before, Mitchell and Webb have a TV series called Peep Show that ran for about 7 seasons. It's brilliant.
