Every single opening banter convo with David consists of him just fundamentally rejecting the premise of Jimmy's question, and it's *always* funny
bobidou23 because he’s too smart for him. Bliss
Luke Sparrow it’s for comedy, They’re not having an intellectual tussle. chill.
nav never said they were. Just because one of them is more intelligent, doesn’t mean they’re arguing
Luke Sparrow they’re both Cambridge educated and very intelligent, the shows dynamic requires Jimmy to act as a host while the contestants have a bit more freedom to mock and mess around. They’re both fitting into the roles that the audience expects of them and playing off each other’s characters for the sake of banter.
nav one of them has to be more intelligent babe 😘
Most improv goes "Yes, and..." but Mitchell goes "No, but..." and still makes it hilarious.
This isn’t really improv. Jimmy might as well be saying ‘David please spout your prepared material now’
@@LOCKEYJ Jimmy is scripted and david of course thinks about it before going on but working ut in and picking up on the opportunitys is what makes a comedian great
True but he always stays on the right side of not abusing other guests. Like, it always seems playful and fun.
Some might be scripted but nonetheless, he seems to genuinely be able to think on his feet really well
Maybe that's why most improv is shit
"The red haired man walked into the room and said 'why the fuck are you questioning my word'?" is one of my favourite ever moments on this show.
@20.15 So funny!
I think that's a hyphenated phrase: red-haired. Otherwise it means you're talking to a red man with hair.
@@encycl07pedia- - Susie would be proud of you! 🙂
David looks like he'd been given a Jaffa cake by Sean before the filming in the Green Room and then remembered he can't have E numbers. Legend has it he was discovered later that night on the tube talking to a handrail.
@@encycl07pedia- redhaired is technically the most correct, but red-haired isn't wrong :)
exasperated half whisper “augh, the fucking cheese” gets me every single time
7:52 Jimmy: “David you’re fairly well spoken” David: “There are more than one words for some things”
Isn't the word he was looking for "synonym" or "synonymous"?
@@CosmicTeapot No, I think it's "lots."
@@CosmicTeapot He was being sarcastic saying it in a lesser way
@@CosmicTeapot It was a comedy routine. He's fully aware.
Apologies everyone, although sarcastic humour is nearly the only way i communicate in my daily life, I am utter shite when it comes to detecting it from others.
I love how different David is on countdown than on Would I Lie To You 😂 the swearing, innuendo filled David comes out instead of the logical, shouty David
absolutely! so raunchy, i cannot believe it. 😂
Sign of a proper comedian. He can adjust.
David Mitchell was first known for Peep Show. If anything, his persona on would I lie to you was something surprising
BBC David vs Channel 4 David.
@@fuzzyjedi I don't understand.
I love how whenever David makes a particularly good joke, he always looks like when the quiet kid at school would utter a zinger and everyone would genuinely think it was funny. That sort of proud yet embarrassed and surprised look.
Utter a zinger lmao Wtf is this KFC style lingo
@@ytisfulloffreaks4189 Americans speak like that
@@ytisfulloffreaks4189 It's called English, mate
@@ytisfulloffreaks4189 “zinger” is American for a good joke. It’s a bit outdated of a term but still in use
David totally ruining Jimmy's attempt at catching him out and Sean capping it with **karate move**"Get outta that, Jimmy!" will always be my favourite moment, great pair they were
That IS a great moment.
"I've just realized. It doesn't matter *at all* ! I don't want a saxophone!" What an amazing out-of-context sentence.
He sounded distinctively like his character Mark from Peep Show with that line. It was something to do with the cadence in his voice, more so than when he's speaking in his normal register.
From the responses of the other players I deduce the prize for that show was a saxophone (or maybe 'his n hers' saxophones)
@@north.by.northeastyep
David's sexy voice has the tone of a dying man hoping the end comes soon.
Dying or sexy - either way, he wants finished off.
While that was happening, I found "forages" for 7.
To the amazing people seeing this: I hope you are all doing well and staying positive and following your dreams My dream is 1K. I’m struggling , any help would be absolutely amazing 🔥
Yea you are right but I need to try something I’ve not gained a sub in like a decade lol
Mr. Armybarmy My suggestion would be to make content people actually want to watch. That's how you gain subs. And that's the only reason you would need subs.
I don't know why, but David breaking down our concepts of letters and numbers is something quite remarkable to me.
Victoria is one lucky gal
It is the first they do when you enter university course in math or languages. Define what is a word and what makes a word a word and not only sequence of letters,...etc.
@Yan Terahn I am oh so sorry that as a foreigner I forgot an s in an internet comment section...
Languages, like other forms of communication, are simply series of symbols that have consensed meanings. Semiotics, the study of such symbols, extends to speaking as well as writing. Noam Chomsky, a highly prominent linguist, has argued that our capacity for language and meaning-making basically ‘piggybacked’ off of our mathematical capacity. So to answer David’s point in the video: yes, letters are combinations of lines and curves. Numbers are just multiples of one. Words are just sounds. To reference another one of his points, it is as obvious as noting that women become less attractive to men as they age.
Off of....?!
Just waiting for the day: “David, do you have a mascot?” “No, I don’t actually.”
"No, Jimmy I don't. And moreover, why on earth would it be a suggestion - dare I say a de facto requirement - to bring an inanimate object as some sort of superstitious cheerleader for our ability to do grammar school maths and spelling!? The only rational reason one would ever even consider bringing a mascot to this show would be if they brought a fucking abacus! Or, perhaps, a standard electronic calculator... battery or solar-powered, it really wouldn't matter... much like this contest, in fact."
😂
@@TheRepublicOfJohn, I can totally hear him saying this
Jon's scream while eating fondue 😂
🧀🧀🧀🐪🐪🐪
That's not the first time David made John make that noise with something hot, sticky and unpleasant.
@@4ndyr0g3r50n Jesus
That may legally be classified as a shriek.
"SCHWEEEK!"
David and Sean perfectly compliment each other
ComplEment
@@zapkvr true. My bad.
Compliment
@@zapkvr ??!
@@jordanashe7656 Compliment and complement are distinct words with different meanings. @Immanuel Kahn is quite correct, in the context of their comment, @Smit Shastri should have used 'complement', not 'compliment'.
The "Clippings in the Tin" bit will never fail to make me extremely uncomfortable with added uncontrollable laughter.
The way he said it will be my creature was extremely sinister. Glad he got away with that. Imagine someone saying that in a pub. They'd be ripped to shreds.
@@rbokhoree But also have a few people come up to them in private to share in the fantasy.
"bury the saxophone!" he yells to his servants like some deranged roman emperor
Enter Stephen Fry: " You called, Sir?"
Historians will find just that clip in two thousand years and it will form the foundations of everything they know about the homo sapien society of X.B.C to 2026 A.D
When David deconstructed numbers (there is only one number, one, and every other number is just many ones) you could see Rachel get just a liiiiiiittle bit attracted to David. That nod...
Apart from 0. I like it when he's wrong.
@@OpinionatedMonk No that's just one less one than one
@@gainerphay2444 No it isn't. If it were then you could subtract it from something, which you can try, but you'll get infinity, so it's not less than 1, it's absolute zero. Plus it's also a place holder "value". Behaves completely separately than a 1.
@@OpinionatedMonk Bruh you really trying to say 1-1 ≠ 0. Sorry they don't say "additive identity" or "multiplicative fuckall" By proof standards he already fucked up saying nine doesn't exist, it's just nine ones. But who applies proof standards to a comedy show? That would just be pedantics.
@@OpinionatedMonk Then this was an odd choice of video for you.
I love the way that as soon as Jimmy asks David what kind of peri-peri sauce he had on his Nandos one time, David immediately drops the "credulous conspiracy theorist" act and just scathingly asks "What do *you* think? Lemon and herb."
Sean and David's old man's riff on Toulouse is possibly the funniest, most under-rated thing here. Beautiful bit of improv, reminding us that we're all destined for blathering at each other while some poor underpaid care worker tries to wipe the gruel from our mouths before cqc shuts the whole place down. 😂
As an underpaid care worker, this cracked me up so hard 😂
@@blakedunlop4129 I used to be the same until very recently- glad I could provide a laugh! 👍
I love how he makes Sean Locke laugh with the meerkats comment. I love it so much.
sean ‘is that why your books havent sold’ 😂😂😂😂
Brutal
I actually own two of his books on Kindle. I’ve only ready Backstory so far but it’s brilliant.
@@darrylhamlin7475 So have i .Sean loves the limelight. David is brilliant and love his sense of humour. I also enjoyed the book.
David having a spiritual awakening and realising he doesn't even want a saxophone is one of my favourite countdown moments ever 😂😂😂
This is a side of David I strongly feel we need to see much more of: the unbridled lunatic
It's why I want him on Taskmaster😂
You should watch Mitchell and Webb
@@Noidonteatbabiesstopasking I've seen it, love it
@@kristinalfc5846 He's said he'd never do _Taskmaster._ He said "It's a very good show but i don't want to be on it. My feeling is that I'd be shit but not in a funny way. People think maybe I'd be a good sport about it and I don't think people thinking that will increase if I'm on it. It's like I've been asked to be on _Celebrity Mastermind_ because people think I'd be quite good at that. So why would I do it then. All I can do is ruin it by going on it and turning out to be considerably more ignorant than people expect."
I love Jimmy's reaction to the Pointless mug. For a second I almost thought he was legitimately upset about it.
Am sure him and the producers who were watching must have been slightly annoyed and also go like oh fuck it.
Nah...he was just mugging.
They were produced by the same production company. I remember Richard Osman used to be the executive producer of this show. Edit: no actually he still is the executive producer of the show so I'm sure it's just an inside joke from the production team.
@@ChristineSK oh damn good bits!!
And topped it off with "The Pointless one's bigger"
And that's why your books haven't sold 😭🤣 RIP Sean.
I love David. He looks like the love child of young Matthew Broderick and present-day Matthew Broderick.
With the hairstyle of Hitler and the high intelligence of British Witt
Exactly
Although unlike either of his parents, he's never murdered a carful of elderly people before fleeing northern Ireland to evade justice.
And that, my friends, is how to kill the mood.
@@kevinomalley1090 Jesus I somehow never knew about that. Quite the piece of shit then.
I absolutely adore David Mitchell. Thanks for giving this to us. Brilliant.
You're welcome
David Mitchell became a quite sexier when he grew a beard.
I love how unhinged some of his personas are when showing off his mascots
David and Jon in the same frame is paradise 😍
For me too David and Jon are the best comedians. I enjoy them the most.
The golden rule of improv is "yes and", but with David Mitchell it's always "No because" and it is glorious.
I expected him to say “sugar” in the exact same tone he said it before. He caught me off guard 😁
Instead he evoked the tone of a tortoise having sex.
“Is that why your books haven’t sold?” Goddamn!?!?! Welp, that’s our Sean.
David: Haired, as in possessing hair John: Could you use it in a sentence? David: The red haired man walked into the room and said "why the fuck are you questioning my word!" LOL
Yeah, but red-haired is hyphenated. I think he knew that which is why he was unsure of whether it was in the dictionary.
“I don’t want a saxophone!” will always make me laugh 🤣
As will "bury the saxophone"
Thanks
I just love how David fits in with the dynamic of this show
Victoria is one lucky gal
They’re both lucky really! Great couple 🥰🥰
So is he.
David is one lucky guy
She knows when to go "All in".
Made for each other
"Don't worry Jon, there's no germ on the planet that can survive that boiling cheese hell."
How has it taken this long for this video? Well better we have it late than not at all.
If you are a fan of David Mitchell, there is a long video compilation of him on would i lie to you. I know it’s a different show but still funny
@@samprizeman4509 The posh and repressed one? It's amazing!
Sara Porter fy
ungreatful much
@Aslan T Vorlon tried what sharing an opinion? ffs
"Oppressively cheesy" will henceforth be my new Facebook status
what a fucking gem of a man
One line killer from Sean: 'Is that why your books haven't sold'
I love how beside himself Jon was once David started explaining the number bit.
I love how Rachel nodded when David said the only number is 1 and everything is just a collection of 1s.
And the hands over the ears by Jon was hilarious! 😂
It doesn’t matter at all that I’ve already seen all these clips, because they’re still perfect.
Rather cruel of Rachel to ask David to direct his sexy voice at Susie when Nick Helm, who we've seen declare his undying love for Susie, is sitting RIGHT THERE! She's just trying to cause conflict. Poor Nick.
well she is a bit of a prick though.
David has such a great sense for comedy. He almost always goes for the unexpected line.
God damn I love that man so much
Is there a possibility of someone editing David’s voice into Def Leppard’s Pour Some *Sugar* on Me???
Windowlicker Supreme wow... someone woke up with the urge to fight for no reason
Windowlicker Supreme I didn’t even ask this question :D but you just had a rude tone about your answer, so maybe just remember that next time. No hard feelings tho
21 minutes plus? Man is a damn legend.
"Actually, the way men perceive woman is that they become less attractive when they get to middle age and older. I'm not proud of that, but YES, THAT'S the society we're in, Jimmy. Thanks for bringing that up!" *cuts to 55 year old Susie to show how wrong he is*
You telling me that 55-year-Old Susie is more attractive than 25-year-Old Susie?
@Cormac AthertonI mean, it's a fetish where people find older women (and men) attractive. That's kinda the point of a fetish, that you're attracted to it. I commented because I thought Pornhub search statistics were more objective than just saying something is fact and also because it's kinda funny. If you're seriously saying that a fetish wherein you are sexually attracted to older women is "not a fact", whatever the hell that means, then I don't know how to respond to that.
@@qaasi95 also the point of a fetish is that it isn't the norm
@@defeqel6537 Look dude, I replied to someone who deleted their comment. They literally said something like "All younger women are more attractive and it's the opposite for men". You kinda need that context
@Håkon Also, your perverted mates are wrong. At least, the most popular ones are definitely well above 25.
Sean's little remark near the beginning is just a perfect example of why I loved him so much as a comic :(
The fondue bit is the only time I've seen Sean fail to get his jokes in
Gobbling down a fromage fondue and bitching about the cheese. 5 minutes later I'm STILL Giggling.
I don't know why, but I just cracked up at: "I'd be more comfortable playing a word game." "... You're in luck."
Anyone else just think “CHEEZOID” when he brought on the fondu set? 😂
i would die for david mitchell. one of my fave comedians ever. a lot of people don't find him funny but he's hilarious, especially live omg
The build up to "what's Toulouse" is one of my favorite bits
I could watch David all day long
He is the best...........witty, smart, and so intelligent.........posh!
I think the funniest part about davids words and letters rant is how right he is
If I was David I would just sit and listen to myself think. Must be such fun.
"...and good luck, them!" My introverted soul resonated with that
"I thought if I brought these, it would allow other people to make sexual jokes" HAHAHA
Damn...I didn't realize until now how much I missed Sean Locke. RIP brother.
I think the word David is searching for about the cheese is "rich". I've have fondue in Switzerland and "extremely rich" is exactly how they describe it.
Maybe we should all just rub swiss fondue all over ourselves if we test positive for covid. As david said, there's no germs that can survive it. It's the cure!!
I think you mean "oppressively rich"
"Oleaginous" is more Mitchell-esque.
@Elite Mangudai just say it and it'll all be fine, no more curry, no more problem....
It's rich due to the nazi gold and stolen artwork
Sean lock and David Mitchell was a great combo, because sometimes David Mitchell is not laugh out loud funny. Like, he usually manages to save himself with a punchline, but he rants. That's what he does. So whenever he finishes speaking, the crowd may be silent, because even though he has been funny, he hasn't actually told a joke, and Sean Lock is always there to release the tension, and make it funny
Idk he made me laugh out loud in every one of those clips
The fuzzy handcuff bit was the most English thing I've seen all week.
He's hilariously adorable.
OMG, poor Jon. I love this guy even more coming unglued listening to David...........who is another fav. Great duo!
David is just the best. A true national treasure. You know, he thinks he was incredibly lucky to land Victoria, but the truth it it's the other way around.
I think they're both lucky to have found each other.
That fondue has me converted ESPECIALLY JOHNS OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW🤣🤣🤣🏴
Jon* The name John has no business having a H in the first place
"The red-haired man walked into the room and said 'WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY WORD?!'" is the start of my favorite bedtime story my granddad would always read to me right after telling me stories of when he was in the shit back in 'Nam. Good times.
I think Jon likes having David on this
How David feels about Peri Peri is how I feel about pulled pork.
With you on that one- I honestly don't understand the appeal of eating something that has the appearance and texture of something that's already been chewed by several people and then gobbed onto a plate.
@Nick C very possibly. It's the only reason I can think of as to why it's so popular. There again, McDonalds is popular, and i can't stand their food either, so there's probably just something wrong with me.
Peter Clarke you should try something rich and oily with lemon juice, I think you just have a mild palate. Lemon juice will fix that
Well I quite like having my pork pulled.
Peter Clarke No, you are absolutely correct, pulled pork and McDonalds are awful. I must insist that you add sweet potato fries to the list of foul food though.
David and Sean compliment other. Ones insanely smart and the others just insane
Like Pinky and the Brain.
Sean and David together is.....just so damn good.
"Is that why your books haven't sold" stole the show there Sean. RIP
I usually watch these late at night, and the flash transitions really help tire my eyes out.
Gotta love how Jon looks like he's actually considering to go for seconds 12:35
I love how he just lets loose on this it’s utterly hilarious
If anyone was wondering what the “word for words that have more than one meaning” thing David was talking about at about 8:10 is, it’s “Polysemy” (pahl-ih-suh-me)
Polysemy is a lovely word for words having multiple meanings. But David was talking about multiple words having the same meaning - synonyms. If it's not already a word, I hereby coin "synonymy" to refer to this relationship between words
@@esquilax5563 That's correct
David Mitchell needs his own podcast
"But surely David, you're not that pedantics..." Jimmy was lucky David had left his grammar gun in the other pants...
Whoever stuck Jon and David together deserves a raise
"modern archaeology" so... grave robbing?
Grave robbing would be unearthing someone's grave. Finding something in the mud or digging something up is not grave robbing
not all archaeology deals with unearthing graves; sure there are dead bodies found while digging but a lot of the time they're trying to figure out how daily life was, not loot necropolises
More like dumpster diving. As a former professional Archaeologist I can tell you that we love a midden pit! Don't get me wrong - graves are awesome. But our trash tends to be much more informative and a much more common discovery.
David Mitchell and Richard Ayoade are so fascinating to listen to. You never know what they are going to say next.
he’s a national treasure.
‘…and good luck then.’ Love everything about David.
I actually think David makes a very good point regarding archaeology.
Love this man like air ❤️ 😍
I didn't like David's humour at first but now he is one of my favourites on the show he great
I could listen to David bantering on for hours!
A 21 minute best bits of a show that you're not a main feature and it's a small part overall career is incredible 😍 love him so much
Yess, finally!!
I love David Mitchell hes great
David basically enunciated the truest and most important theory of maths, and got a big laugh!
except it’s literally not
It's no a²+b²=c² though
"for now its just the clippings in the tin". Seen it 30 times, still floors me.
Sean’s “leave” is so underrated
01:58 David making jokes out of Peano arithmetic. This is very high-level play
"showbiz fondue" should be David's stage name
