"Then why does security camera footage show you gyrating half a millimeter away from the crime scene?"
Lmfao best part
I lost it at that part 😄
It was super hilarious 😂😂both started laughing
This part kills me every time
Detective Rory asking the tough questions.
"Gyrating half a millimetre away from the crime scene". I was in tears with laughter
Mus janem
TheMightyKinkle absolutely hilarious! XD
TheMightyKinkle That's why he's Sherlock
TheMightyKinkle same
Wow, one and a half thousand likes. Cheers!
Jimmy: "10 miles or 5 feet" Benedict: Let's go with the metric system
He's an agent of chaos
you Americans are so weird with feets and miles! Like how many feet is in a miles??
I'm sorry but metric system is the best
IKR! Everywhere apart from America, people use the metric system, and by the way, Ben's British.
To be fair, Brits use both systems depending on context.
Benedict had such ridiculous answers that the outcome was 10x funnier. “Then why does security camera footage show you gyrating just half a millimeter away from the crime scene?” LMFAOO
frrrrrrr
This was the one that brought me over the edge
I laughed so loud at that part I startled my sleeping newborn
That got me as well 🤣
E
I love Beneficial Cucumber, such a great actor.
lmao XD cracked me up

“Where were you on the night of Hanukkah” kills me every time
It had me screaming “WHICH ONE?!” 🤣🤣🤣
I totally expected Jimmy to ask which one 🤣🤣🤣
This one is my favourite because of Benedict. He is just an incredible actor and extremely funny. Just amazing and I can’t stop watching this.
He can do drama or comedy. He's so talented. Very funny on SNL this year.
@Lisa Surlie I'm not sure if you're wondering why he didn't produce it, or if you just are trying to say it's not a very good film. Some of Benedict's work I love, and some of it I don't like as much. For me, that has more to do with script and production value than his ability.
@Lisa Surlie ok I see what you mean. I agree it's too bad about the distribution. Many actors do not choose to get into production and they do not fight with the producers over distribution. Depends on how the deal was written. If Benedict got a flat fee for the movie - it doesn't matter to him. But usually the star gets a fee, plus a percentage of theater profits. Studios producing the movie want to do whatever is most beneficial and convenient for them. Scarlett Johansson had a percentage deal... Disney said her movie would be in theaters only for an extended period of time, and they did not keep that deal. Disney thought they could get away with it - but she sued them and they agreed to compensate her. Just shows you what studios will do if they think they can get away with it.
@Lisa Surlie you're right
@Lisa Surlie producing usually means putting the money up to finance the movie, and it includes the day-to-day things that have to be done - such as building a set, getting permits, hiring stunt people, and so forth. In some cases, the same person will create and write and produce the movie, maybe even star in it as well. But usually, the producer buys a script from a writer. Of course the writer gets credit for the screenplay.
Benedict: "where you fwom?" Jimmy "UUKRAINE" I STARTED CRYING
That Insane Fangirl my background is Ukraine and I know Russian
That Insane Fangirl Awe me too!!
fucking same. my sister is sleeping on the top bunk right now and I'm literally convulsing on the bottom trying to hold back my laugh
Я з України Im from Ukraine
That Insane Fangirl SAME. I WAS ABOUT TO ROLL ON THE FLOOR
When Mrs. Tate is suddenly from Ukraine
When Mrs.Tate goes from a New York accent to a Ukraine accent.
Star Blaze that wasn't even a Ukrainian accent, it was a Russian one lol
Sasha K yeah, lol, but they mingle a lot, gets a bit mishy mashy.
Star Blaze maybe but I'm from ukraine and the u krainian accent is nowhere close to that haha. tbh most russians (who study english properly) don't even have that stereotypical accent. but the sketch was really funny either way
Yep, and when his real name if Mrs. Yanukovych)))
Jimmy’s ukranian accent was good haha 😂 this is too hilarious 😂
Honestly it's closer to Italian accent than to Ukrainian
sounds slavic/russian
As a Ukrainian, his accent sounds nothing like a Ukrainian. It sounds like how Hollywood shows Russians. Listen to some actual Ukrainians speak English. Nothing like this.
@@Da_Vinci_Ukrog47 Well Ukraine is a slavic country so even though it doesn't sound accurately _Ukrainian_ per se, it's close enough I suppose
@@nataliamidzio it's not really
Benedict trying to be serious made it even more interesting to watch. He's got nice timing, delivery, and gestures for sure
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Benedict Cumberbatch is an actor, and we're not.
He's a pro, a pro I say!
The Legend
Cause he is a legend. We’re not
@@asi3393 Yeah!
he‘s my husband
"Exclamation" "Fuck."
We all know that Martin Freeman is the one to blame ;-)
Lol
Exclamation with a full stop? -_-
jkimberly I shouldn't say this but.... IGOT7.... I'm done now.
No other Mad Lib performance will top this.
While I love this one the airplane one with Jon Hamm is pretty funny too....
Frfr
The John Cena one is epic
Mad Lib Theatre for me is the most genius segment that happened to television 😂 I've been having a marathon of this for years..never fail to make me laugh hard 😂
He needs to do a Mad Lib Theater at LEAST once a week, it’s my favorite 😂
@@thesilvershining agreed!!
Rookie error. Never Gyrate , half a millimeter away from the crime scene.
Vivek Mathai hahaha!
Vivek Mathai teach us master
Don't do the grind if you can't do the time.
LOL Amen!
halfasemitone hahaha yes!!
"tell me a word that ends with ing" "f- wait nope i can't say that"
Ikr
😮
Loved 0:33 😂
Then why did the security cameras show you ******* half a millimeter away from the crime scene
Earthquake William that’s so f***** up xD
"Where were you on the night of Chanukah?" BROKE ME. I just keep laughing while repeating, "Which one?"
I laughed to tears. My husband could not understand what's happened. Benedict is fantastic
Am glad you enjoyed the video ❤ where are you watching from?
Omg it's Benedict cumberbatch@@BenedictCumberbatch-xv9ov
Jimmy: exclamation Benedict: fuck Me: *dies*
+Neve Wilde Jimmy: a verb that ends with ing Benedict: F- no I can't say that
Neve Wilde yeah XD
I love how everybody knows him a doctor strange but I'll always know him as sherlcok
ha "sherlcok" I mean Sherlock
justanotheryoutubeaccount ah, the famous sherlcock
XD
Wait they're different people?
Sooo true i know him for smaug from the hobbit and for sherlock too 😂😂😂
Benedict has the most hilarious expressions when holding in his laughter.
6 years later I’m moved he chose “Ukraine” as country. Our hearts are with you! ❤️🇺🇦❤️
Good lord, it was six years ago in a comedy sketch, how the fuck would he know?? Have some sense
I guess that's why it got recommended today.
@@TheRobinSystem because there already was war happening in Ukraine 6 years ago?? It started in 2014
And his great-grandfather was from Ukraine😎🇺🇦
I’m sorry but I don’t think that’s some thing you should take personal look at all the other choices he made
Mrs Tate is fucking guilty. Who gyrates so close to the crime scene?
IBuyStuff yeah its a new record. half a milimeter is insane!
Sherlock probably.
I think we can all understand the need for little toe implants. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

I’m changing my name from Rory to rauwry now
Benedict is such a phenomenal actor... even in mad lib he gives a gripping performance, at least as gripping as mad lib can get. lol
I'm proud of Benedict for clearly getting out " gyrating half a millimeter from the crime scene" . 👏 (and Jimmy switched to Ukrainian accent 😮👏) This one's acting was actually impressive as well as comical!
Wouldn't want to be caught gyrating 0.5 mm from the crime scene after stealing 4229 eggs
From Macy’s
Yeah you don't want that to happen...
From the Macy's
Alright, I'm through with playing games. Where you from?
To get yourself a toe implant?
"Where were you on the night of Hannukah?" Of course Benedict picks a holliday with multiple days
And I love how Jimmy was counting on his fingers
I was like which one XD
Watching Superman ... eight times
It was so good I had to wonder if it was pre-planned
Um... I can’t be the only one who thought it was 1 day.... right?
4:29 his face 😂😂😂
I love how the first superhero that came into his mind is Superman and his favorite line is from Batman, both DC. But he's now in the MCU superhero, if maybe Dr. Strange movie exist in this time his answer would've been different 😂
Yeah 😂😂
REMEMBER, DOCTOR STRANGE WAS IN POST-PRODUCTION WHEN THIS WAS MADE, SO THERE; EQUALLY AS HILARIOUS!!!
Benedict: **talking about DC Superheroes** Marvel: *Wait. That's illegal*
Right?! Not one DC reference but TWO! 😂🤷♀️
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Strange_(2016_film) had just come out, too; I assume this Nov 2016 Fallon appearance was to promote it. It's nice that corporate thought police don't bother the actors.

This video never fails to make me laugh uncontrollably. Totally worth revisiting every now and then.
That was epic, the words he said randomly suited the entire scene perfectly and made it funnier.
Benedict Cumberbatch is such a beautiful creature
+sloth This show should be named "Beautiful Creatures and where to find them" Or is Benedict a Caster? ^^
I know right? He is my spirit animal
J: Tell me a word ending with “ing”. B: Penguing.
💀💀💀

Its a hundred time i watch this and still laugh at the "little toe implants" 😭
That Ukranian accent was perfect
Cumberbatch: Works with marvel. Also Cumberbatch: Superman Also Cumberbatch: Batman
I’m amazed no one comment in here 😳
WOAH! Thank you for commenting, I had no idea my comment got so many likes
Well TBH unless you're a huge superhero fanatic... A lot of casual watchers, like myself, don't remember which superhero belongs to which..
lol
He mentioned some classic movies. Batman 1989 is rather iconic, Superman (if he's talking about the Reeves one) is also iconic. Marvel and DC were bros back then before WB and Disney butted in
i lost it when he said "how come you were gyrating half a millimeter away from the crime scene?" lol
Nickman1024 I did too! Its sooo hard to watch their face when its obvious they are controlling their laughter. 😂😂😂

I’ve watched a lot of these but always return to this one. So funny
I have watched this Mad Lib more than 5 times. Still can't hold my laugh
I love how he changed his accent after "Where are u from?" "Ukraine" 😂😂😂

There aren't that many holidays that span multiple day, but he picked one and it made it even funnier! 🤣
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤❤ how long have you been a fan of mine?

It just never gets old. I still cry laughing everytime.

Me too. Whenever I feel sad or bored I watch this

Tanha Tarannum Latif We can’t say that on American tv! Lol
Always fun to watch British people accidentally saying that on US TV, they are so used to their freedom 😂
If that ain't me during any mad libs game
"Verb ending in -ing." "...Can't say that... Um, 'gyrating.'" Humperdink Cobblespot has a one track mind. Also, he gave two DC references.
I blame Martin Freeman.
Jimmy: ‘name a movie title’ Benedict: **literally in the mcu** ‘uhhhh *superman* ‘
i mean this was before he was casted in any mcu iirc
@@thedwaynerailfans Not sure about that - Dr Strange started filming in 2015 and came out before this as well
4 years later and this is still brilliant.. I cannot stop laughing
Jimmy: You have a mind-bending voice *I mean. He’s not wrong*
Yea
😂😂😂
Movie name superman Movie quote Batman And he works for marvel 😂😂😂 what a madlad
😂 It is actually older than that, when they signed him
NEET this is from November 2016. Dr Strange came out in October 2016.
😂
We can all agree that he made the right decision, working for Marvel?
Absolute madlads
"Where were you on the night of Hanukkah?" I can't breathe. That was just too perfect!
Jimmy Fallon: "Exclamation." Benedict Cumberpatch: "Fuck." Had me rolling
Jimmy: "Exclamation!" Benedict: "Fuck!" Killed me immediately XD
that's definitely Martin Freemans doing
Also me
😂 me too
