David Mitchell's outfit here is so un-noteworthy that it's noteworthy.
+Philly Cash I love this comment
+Blafjell I love that you love that comment
It's a quote from Would I Lie to You
+Philly Cash Sick reference, bro.
XD i love you
I almost believe David when he claims he's never been naked in his life.
That does seem to be a very David Mitchell thing to do lol
he slid out of the womb in a full suit.
+Rose Fae You might as well have said 'I get the joke about David Mitchell claiming he has never been naked before in his life."'
Okay...?
He wasn't. He was born with an apron made of fat.
It's refreshing to see celebrities with human teeth. Three of them together - must be some sort of record.
+sarcastic bowl of cornflakes I saw on QI that, apparently, the British have the best teeth in the world.
+Jip W Scotland are meant to have the worst teeth in Europe.
Trevor Dexter Must be the deep fried Mars bars.
Yeah. I do like clean, well kept teeth but the American way of sculpting the perfect white smile is so horrible. All their TV personalities have the same smile, like it came off a shelf in some high street store. All straight, white, all the same size. No personality or character. It's starting to get boring.
+drumraine
I believe Patricia Arquette still hasn't fixed her choppers. It's not _all_ about vanity in sho biz.
I love the way Graham Norton makes Anna feel at ease and includes her whenever possible, it must be intimidating with comedy geniuses like Mitchell and Webb grabbing the spotlight.
Exactly. Pretty sad to see comments in here of people being like "see can't even answer a question, how awkward. That's America for you." Like, what are you on about? I think a host should try to help guests who are outpaced by other guests like the veteran duo Mitchell and Webb instead of using her as a pin cushion for pokes.
@@Caleb-lw3yq damn!! i remember it was 15 years ago i saw graham's first show on bbc america---i'm american and my only complaint about british comedies is that they end far too soon! graham's appearance on father ted was excellent! i think he'd be great as a full time comedic actor but really i love seeing graham be graham----he has a warmth that's also snarky. like an adorable puppy with sharp teeth that just wants to play.
He's easily the best host of a show like this that I've ever seen. He always knows when and what to say to keep everyone comfortable and part of the conversation. He even gave her a team to be part of on the coffee drinking so she wouldn't feel ganged up on. I doubt that she would feel genuinely so but a fairly unassuming American actor might feel a bit intimidated in front of a British audience with a well-known and -loved British comedy duo.
I mean, yeah, let's push everything sharp out of the way of the gorgeous wealthy actress lol I get what you're saying, I love graham, and I'd be intimidated by mitchell too but I feel like she'll be fine, and that letting people sink or swim in situations that are low stakes is what ends up making them improve generally : p
Webb is a funny guy, but calling him a genius is very generous.
Robert looks so proud of David when he rants
Because Robert discovered him.
I call it "mutual respect".
I love the chemistry between Mitchell and Webb. I think it's great that they have managed to maintain such a good friendship since they were at university. It's a rare thing these days. I wish we got to see more of them when they are just being themselves like this.
Last I heard, they cannot stand each other.
@@LDacic oh really? Tell all please
"I've never been naked in my life, not even alone!"
That's such a David Mitchell thing to say and we have no problem believing thatđ
He's famously not naked /under/ his clothes
Makes me think of Tobias FĂŒnke, the never-nude, in Arrested Development.
@@wunnell there are dozens, dozens
This could go on a "Would I Lie To You?" card, and Lee Mack is going to have a field day with it.
@@cholatepnabangchang4834 They had a WIlTY in which David's card said that he eats a full English Breakfast topless.
"Make sure no one nicks our iPods" - how quickly that line dated.
That's a fair point now nobody has MP3 players any more
I don't know, part of David Mitchell's schtick is that he's a bit dated and not "with" common culture, it almost makes it funnier
Well this was 10 years before you made the comment.. so it would be dated
God if you had an upset about him using "ipods" i can only imagine what you might go through if he said "Zunes" you might of had a stroke.
'I've got a camera phone' too. Nowadays they're just called phones lol
Robâs smile when Davidâs talking đ
âMy Davidâ đ
"Cheer the hell up as soon as you possibly can, and then try and go out with someone who makes the person who dumped you feel really insecure."
Brilliant
lmao the actresses face when Graham implies she smokes
+astroboirap She's nothing like this in real life, but Anna Paquin certainly comes off as a bit of a dimbulb in this. I'm not sure why you just called her a 'bitch'. She didn't do anything that could be construed as even slightly bitchy.
+Sue Mead
He did that because he's a dick on the internet and needs to boost his self esteem by insulting others
kardRatzinger
I guess he puts the "base" in parents basement.
Simon Banks FYI you have 3 likes right now đ
astroboirap pretty reasonable reaction there mate
"The director said that your bits will be pixilated in the final film... and then they weren't."
That should actually be a lawsuit.
At least justification for more monetary compensation
I liked that moment where Mitchell has to come up with a crazy example of something completely unrelated to coffee and then comes out with ....Tea.
Because he's a clown.
The best part about Mitchell and Webb in the same interview, is that when David gets on a rant... Robert just sits there, smiles and lets it roll :p
Hadn't realised how used to his beard I am now until I clicked on this clip.
+phoebephoebo .sydney David's or Graham's?
+phoebephoebo .sydney Same! If you mean David, at least. I honestly forgot that Graham looks different until I've seen Kristian's comment just now x)
[and I've been catching up on Graham Norton Show just in the past week]
She had a bit of a strange reaction to being asked if she smokes.
Smoking can make an actor or actress a political target in the US.
MarginalSC but then that's the Yanks for ya there , all nutty and all
We're merely obsessed with vice.
Think of the children.
MarginalSC Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?!?!
I don't drink coffee very much, and so I want it destroyed.
Applemask i live on coffee please do literally its the drug of the 21st century
I too watched the video
@@SkaterBlades And yet the search for a worthwhile personality goes on.
@@kneegrow2313 @Knee Grow the preference for tea over coffee in the UK is weird. Every other Western nation prefers coffee much more as it should be. It's a bad habit they picked up from invading too many Asian countries.
@@dweazful but tea ain't even that popular in the UK
Comedians like David Mitchell, Bill Burr, and Jim Jeffries are always at their best when they're whinging and angry about something. Yet, their styles are so different. We're so lucky to have them and so many others. They're like therapists.
I love how amused Robert is of David, theyâre so cute together (especially when Robert laughs at Davidâs jokes)
Every time I see Robert Webb I think of Numberwang. I don't know why
That's Numberwang!
Toribot time to rotate the board!
+SuperSK1LLS The maths quiz show that simply everyone.
+SuperSK1LLS because he plays the host of numberwang in his sketch show
+Toribot That's Wordwang!!
I think David's outfit here is so unnoteworthy that it actually is noteworthy. Brown and brown? C'mon David, it's so colourless that you're broking your own rule there! :D
LuxDeLaLuna Broking, the manliest ruler of them all.
Heh, I saw that episode of WILTY...very apt observation.
@@SLR_96 Yeah. Should sue them.
Brown's a color... Or at least orange is.
Bold words coming from a guy whose outfit is clearly coffee-inspired
Chocolate
I thought it was tea-inspired. Tea is still brown, isn't it? It's much more British, too.
Its interesting, because David Mitchell who plays a nerd character (Mark Corrigan) seems less nerdy in real life and Robert who plays a cool guy (Jez) seems more nerdy in real life. The roles are reversed.
Teresa Gomes is Jez really a cool guy?
You have no idea how nerdy David Mitchell is in real life! I assure you, it's so much more than in the show.
Haven't seen the show, but your observation rings true. I do enjoy David Mitchell's humour - and there seems to be a real nice person lurking behind it
Teresa Gomes no their characters in Peep Show are their real personas dramatised
David Mitchell is only outnerded by his supernerdy wife.
the idea behind "anyone that prissy needs to be offended at any opportunity" really needs to be brought back into society at this point
Maybe upgrade them grammar/spelling and quoting skills before prissing about people being prissy.
@@BH-2023 no u
"At the screening of the film." He says that hilariously.
âThis coffee tastes like dirt!â âWhat do you expect: it was ground this morning!â
MIB3
That was a joke long before MIB
You saying they used it in MiB and also No Country For Old Men? Tommy Lee Jones must really like that joke....
Poor Anna. She's just sitting there so polite while they all go into their bits.
Sitting there looking just gorgeous....
I thought she just seemed bewildered by the whole thing.
Do you know which Anna this is?
â@@killian7486 it does say right in the info section for the video.
It's actress Anna Paquin (Rogue from X-Men)
David is legit one of the funniest men alive.
He's hilarious, but personally I think Robert Webb is criminally under-appreciated. Almost every comment here seems to be about how wonderful "David" is, as if Webb is just his dim-witted side-kick. My sister was saying much the same at Christmas, and I always feel compelled to stand up for Webb. I think there must be a reason they've been friends for so long and successful as a double-act. I agree that Mitchell is often a hilarious comic (although occasionally tedious and predictable in his rants on WILTY compared to Lee Mack's true genius for improv), but I've always thought that Webb is the better and more convincing actor, in particular on Peep Show.
â@@thinkingaboutit2991I'm not a fan of that Robert Webb. He's rather horrible. And gosh David was significantly less funny back then and so insecure.
â@@thinkingaboutit2991or perhaps neither of them are very good.
I love that as soon as he mentiond he was annoyed people started laughing in anticipation, sign of an amazing comic.
David Mitchell is literally brilliant
i like how they still have a good laugh around eachother. good to see.
I thought he was gonna ask Ana "do you get naked?" But yeah, she did kinda seem like a deer in the headlights in this clip.
I love a good David Mitchell rant.
David is so funny.. His voice is so dull yet is so hilarious at the same time!
David's strong feelings about coffee remind me of something. Oh, yes. It was that lady who appeared once on Room 101 and ranted about "English Breakfast Tea." Those two were made for each other.
Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit!
As someone who doesn't like coffee, I love the fact that David has a rant about it!
"Anna Paquin, the young Canadian who grew up in New Zealand and whose only acting experience was as a skunk at a school play, stunned movie-goers from all over the world with her performance as Holly Hunter's angry young daughter in the acclaimed film The Piano. Anna, who received an Oscar for her performance (the second youngest Oscar winner ever"
I could listen to Robert's voice all day.
Ahhh I love David's rants!
Being a non smoker and among the minority among my friends and family, I definitely relate with finding it annoying that when I do go out with them, which was already rarer even before Covid, I'd usually be the designated person to keep tables reserved, watch their drinks and such
God I love Graham Norton, ten years later I am scream laughing at his jokes.
He looked better clean shaven. His semi-grey beard these days is not a good look.
Meh
that Robert giggles along and is amused by everything David says suggests why they work so well together :-)
My God! He doesn't smoke and doesn't understand the fuss made over coffee? This man IS my soul mate!!!
She doesn't know how lucky she is at that sofa.
I think Mitchell is funnier outside of Peep Show.
You are... everywhere...
+Johnny Fisher But you must be too if you know he is everywhere... EVERYWHERECEPTION.
Isn't that the point? It's intentionally a very dark comedy
+jbal695 i think its cause he's so much of a dick in peep show, he's much more likeable outside of his character haha
I think Mitchell and Webb are better comedy writers than the people who wrote Peep Show.
Thanks for posting.
A agree with Mitchell so much about the coffee!
I agree with Mitchell on almost everything. Not quite as far as he goes with it but he's only 'playing' an exaggerated version of himself. His take on being 'forced' to dance at parties is spot on.
I love coffee and I'll drink any type. Get over yourselves, coffee snobs!
@@dielaughing73 There's nothing special about coffee, it's just a very bitter-tasting drink. that tastes so bad that most people have to hide the taste by throwing in lots of milk and sugar to make it even remotely drinkable.
David's adorable xD
I agree 100% with David! Vindicate us poor non-coffee-addicts!
"people who are that prissy about what they call themselves should wear pants!"
5:00 Probably the wisest thing ever said.
you can tell it's an old interview when he said the word "Ipod"
I think the young age of the people are more of a clue.
I think the fact it was uploaded 11 years ago is more of a clue.
"camera phone" too
Notes to Anna Paquin "Sit next to David Mitchel as he rants, and look gorgeous, occasionally looking from side to side"
A+
I love David Mitchell. I feel exactly that way about coffee!
its amazing how a video that features light humor can produce such vitriol in the comments, take a good hard look at yourselves people !
True
youweechube I am looking at myself and I am gorgeous.
***** absolutely !
It's called G.I.F.T. ....the Great Internet Fuckwad Theory.
Vitriol? Where? Please point out where a comment is bitterly critical or malicious. I see none !
i love david's rants.
American here.. we always get your brilliant shows late of course.. Peep Show and The Mitchell and Webb Look are amazing. And I just read Robert Webb's book!
I want David Mitchell as my life-coach...
David doesn't drink coffee? I think I have to put my ear on his tummy to be sure.
What I love about all these youtube arguments, is that the grammar and punctuation becomes almost perfect!
the absolute TERROR on Anna Paquin's face at 1:17 when Graham asks if she smokes is incredible
"'Ello. Like Peep Show. I've got a camera phone."
đ
@Missapphirefly Pulled it off so well I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.
@TayDeezy 408 I wish to know what they pointed out..
@@Domihork It was in a time before you could respond to youtube comments. We might just never find out.
@lextube if it isn't too much trouble can you cast your mind back 9-10 years and enlighten us, it's so not going to be worth it but I must know now. Maybe we will get a surprise for the 10 year anniversary.
@@jamespitcher405 went through all the comments and found 3 other mentions of Missapphirefly, but no original comment. Will Lextube's memory be enough to cast back a decade? The anticipation is ....
....

a lovley distraction during this pandemic :-)
Hello lex :) I enjoyed your builds
i love roberts' jessica stevensons impersonation
I love the webcam on the screen behind Graham
âAnyone whoâs that prissy about what they call themselves need to be offended at every opportunityâ I mean, we all thought the same thing right? đ
hes so funny david mitchell
yes, this is super important cause she's so talented.
I dunno why but I love the way Graham turned in his chair at the start
Agreed. I thought that was really strange when she struggled to even answer whether she smoked or not.
David Mitchell is the most amazing neurotic ever!!
i love these guys!
1:55 definitely my favorite part! Considering the fact I totally did what they said not to do and they were right, IT DOESN'T WORK! But now it's hilarious having a laugh watching this :)
Been dumped in the 8 years since you made this comment?
Webb's advice is golden, I'm going through a break up, he's not incredibly wrong lol
"I've never been naked in my life, not even alone"
incredible
I can't be the only one who's CZcams recommended is suddenly and inexplicably full of BBC talkshow clips from 2009
Graham makes a wonderful host. Often US shows seek out comedians, which only fulfills part of the host's role. They often make themselves the center of attention. Graham accepts the attention, but knows how to make his guests (the subject of the show) shine.
i agree with him about the divide...
I smoke naked whilst drinking coffee !! The looks I get....:D.
Probly shouldn't be doing it on the bus...
Surely Starbucks is non-smoking.
What a pair of stars
He is totally right about the coffee thing
Brown on brown, thatâs an ambitious outfit for David.
"I've got a camera phone."
Anna seems like a barrel of laughs! :)
What an excellent comment. Can't say I agree, but I take my hat off to you for putting your case so brilliantly.
"If I did would I tell you?" Wow, you'd think he'd asked her if she shot up or something O.o
I agree with David Mitchell there needs to be a divide between smokers and non smokers
lmfao the coffee bit had me in stitches
Excellent retortion!
Davids a never nude lol
Graham Norton is such a natural host heâs got time to notice Annaâs plight, and the grace to help her out. If he had been charged with organising Palestinian-Israeli peace talks, thereâd be peace in the middle-east.
If he'd been charged with that, he'd be stoned to death (by one side).
anna paquin is amazing
According to his autobiography 'Back Story' he does smoke socially and gives the exact reasons mentioned as to why he does.
I was just going to say, "How come Anna is not busting a gut??" I am laughing my ass off at these two, and she's like 'yeah...sure....ahuh..."
I always find these shows incredibly awkward. You get big A list actors on to talk about some up coming blockbuster that's going to make millions worldwide and then you've got some British comedian talking about their new book or something and it's just blatantly obvious that the A list American has no idea who the other guy is. And I'm not looking down on either of them but they just can't compare. They're in different leagues.
theAngryscotman it's not always that way. Some stars really get on well. Have you watched the one with Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling and Greg Davis?
lollypopsmum No. Good?
One of the best episodes. I also watch the one with Kevin Costner and the one with Harrision Ford and Jack Whitehall
theAngryscotman | Oh yes, the thought of an A-lister having to listen to someone they havenât heard of before. How awkward.
As is almost always the case when I watch these Graham Norton clips, the American guest sits and nods their head politely as if the people around them were speaking Chinese.
Seems she's just politely listening to them.
She's a New Zealander also buddy.
What American? I see two Brits and a New Zealander.
Anna is a Candian born New Zealander. No, many of the more A-list American actors DO indeed get the British sense of humor which can get tiresome after a while.
Paquin is likely used to social interactions in which she's afforded cachet for showing up. She gets stuck in an environment in which off-the-cuff wit is prioritized. Suddenly she's the unpopular kid who's just kind of awkwardly, superfluously there and doesn't know anyone.
Talking about "guarding iPods" and "I've got a camera-phone" (like its a new thing)... certainly does date this clip!
Brilliant
She's utterly gorgeous!
Finally another person who hates coffee!
