Yeah but it's nowhere near the level of "All That". Who can ever forget gems like "welcome to Goodburger, would you like a hamburger, here is said hamburger, have a good meal"?
The piece of paper may just be a picture to which he's been conditioned to shout "NUMBERWANG!", possibly during the "hot wire" treatment. Still a better media exec than Jeff Zucker.
The first sketch with the mouse... Absolutely genius. Their faces are soooo good, the acting and expressions they make are epic. How they dont piss themselves laughing is totally beyond me
Not a fan because the sketch makes an assumption that mankind is a genius and G-d is somehow a dolt or a monster. Typical fuzzy-headed atheist "logic" No thanks.
I'm an American Presbyterian and I thought it was hilarious. The current social media fad that you have to come down on one side or another in the most extreme way is ridiculous.
The Event was certainly caused by a form of biological/radiological/chemical weapon. But another theory says that The Event was shown in the Inebriati sketch.
And you good sir are kind beyond measure, uploading these masterpieces for all to enjoy. As it is, I've bought multiple works from Mitchell and Webb (and a plethora of other BBC shows) solely because of my exposure to it from people like MrCassavius who put it on UA-cam. Americans are sadly deprived of most of the best of TV and wouldn't have seen it any other way. As it is, the BBC wouldn't have gotten that extra bit of cash from me (and surely many others) were these videos not "pirated".
At just around 15:11 David Mitchell briefly looks directly at the camera. May have been unintentional but it a great breaking the 4th wall moment for me.
I tried to buy all the seasons, but they aren't available anywhere in the U.S. as far as I can tell. When piracy is the only option it stops being immoral.

the first sketch about the mouse actually sort of happened. The inventor of the computer mouse had patented it well before personal computers were mainstream. He never made any money out of it.
The history of early PCs is basically just repeated unabashed piracy. Xerox had a mouse and a GUI way before anyone else. Bill Gates essentially just stole the work of the "garage" coding collective he was in, changed the default drive from "A" to "C", and patented it as his own work, DOS. Then he proceeded to leverage monopoly after monopoly to illegally take over other markets, got let off the hook for the whole thing by Dubya, and now everyone thinks he's a genius for some Godforsaken reason, even though he's a dumbass technocratic fetishist who prioritizes expensive pie-in-the-sky approaches like GMO mosquitoes to fight malaria instead of listening to experts and buying bed-nets. Our deification of these robber-baron knock-offs is going to kill us.
He worked for Stanford University who held the patent and let it expire before it became widely used. This was in 1968. In 1973 Xerox created a PC that had a windows based OS which used a ball rather than tracking wheels, it sold in very small numbers.
possibly after his boss told him that he had a bomb shaped gift for his wife, next to an actual bomb, both had the letters bomb on its front, but one had bomb with a final b while the other had bomb spelled with a final 8, that looked exactly like a b. So really henimore, theres no way you can fail this time, no way!
@urplereen Ill upload the entire series 4 with extras in a few days (during the next weeks) in one episode form, instead of several broken parts. stay tuned
I made an error, thinking our dear friend above was referring to the TV Series, 'The Event'. Having not actually watched the series and only heard others talk of it, I gathered the all round assumption that it was based on some cataclysm. I would thank you to be a little less smug about my mistake, dear Sir.
The fact that it's probably entirely possible to pay someone for "roleplay" over text chat exactly like in this sketch 2:44 now is pretty wack, and 17:56 is just everyday life now!
Check out Upstart Crow. Mitchell portrays Shakespeare, Enfield his father. It's a comedy written by Ben Elton. It's honestly quite ingenious and very funny stuff.
Does really make you wonder what anyone was thinking when he started mutilating babies like that. I've heard it's relatively common in the US but nowhere else really outside of parts of North West Asia oh and parts of Africa. Quite the conundrum
hahaa he's talking about buying dvd's, and we're all watching this on youtube, excellent
Excellent... if you're a dishonest person!
Pamela

What's a DVD?
dvdes
Every conversation between any two brothers over thirty is pretty much along those lines.
The ironic thing is the only way to watch the episode now is via youtube.
Literally is
Unless you have the DVD box set
torrenting never went away.
One of the best comedic sketch shows of all time.
P
@@AlbertZiegler069 Lol good one.
Yeah but it's nowhere near the level of "All That".
Who can ever forget gems like "welcome to Goodburger, would you like a hamburger, here is said hamburger, have a good meal"?
All sketch shows are comedic
@@campag1979I dunno, I saw Horne & Cordon's "sketch" show , 🤬 painful😢
Wow. It has taken me today many years to realize that Hennimore caused The Event.
dont think about the "event"...and stay indoors
Wasn't it the numberwang colossus?
@@kotovnikthegreat And that's Wordwang! Let's rotate the board!!
Holy fucking shit
HENNIMOOOOORRREEE
"Tinkering with an all ready perfect creation like some giant see-through George Lucas" LMAO, I'm dead.
This episode is definitely one of their best, every sketch was absolutely brilliant, I was crying by the end
The Abraham sketch gives me a new appreciation for this show.
Jeeesus christ this’s bloody BRILLIANT. I can’t believe I haven’t watched this before. This feels more relevant now than ever before somehow.
nailed it.
I love how he's reading Numberwang off the piece of paper but then he says he can't read
The piece of paper may just be a picture to which he's been conditioned to shout "NUMBERWANG!", possibly during the "hot wire" treatment.
Still a better media exec than Jeff Zucker.
It's been over a decade and it still bothers me. How is he reading if he can't read??
The first sketch with the mouse... Absolutely genius. Their faces are soooo good, the acting and expressions they make are epic. How they dont piss themselves laughing is totally beyond me
Lost it at the sky box bit tbf 😂
i imagine that numberwang sketch is essentially how it went down when 8 out of 10 cats proposed reinventing countdown
Loved the "drunken hotel" haha
"No Lord, I am your b*tch!", pretty much sums it up. lol xD
David Mitchell is so articulate. He is able to put precisely into words the thoughts I've often had.
Lmao that massage. Mitchell's desperately trying not to laugh you can tell.
from 12:55 to 13:04 : and look where we are now. Dave actually doing really well and bbc three... poor bbc 3 a husk of its former glory
Exactly
This is a peak of absurd and intelligent humor seldom reached again. That Abraham-scetch is Flying Circus material.
Not a fan because the sketch makes an assumption that mankind is a genius and G-d is somehow a dolt or a monster. Typical fuzzy-headed atheist "logic"
No thanks.
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 The sketch doesn't assume human is amazing. It simply points out absurdity in scripture.
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 I think you didn't actually understand the joke. XD
I'm an American Presbyterian and I thought it was hilarious. The current social media fad that you have to come down on one side or another in the most extreme way is ridiculous.
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 How is it doing that?
My beautiful hometown included in the Sunday afternoon sketch. Three cliffs Bay in swanse.
Theory:
The bomb at the end of the Henimore sketch was "the event"!
Try not to think about The Event.
And stay indoors!
The Event was certainly caused by a form of biological/radiological/chemical weapon. But another theory says that The Event was shown in the Inebriati sketch.
Also, Blessed Be The Regulations!
I always thought "the event" was caused by the giant robotic crab invasion
15:58 This 14-hour Sunday afternoon DVD seems actually quite relaxing. (Minus the Robot Masters)
I feel bad for watching on youtube now!
NA!!! lol
You would’ve bought the box set if you were “honest”
"DON'T TELL ME TO FUCK OFF HENNIMORE"
Those event sketches hit differently post covid.
Mitchell plays the best drunk ever
Brilliant thanks so much for uploading this! I really need to buy the boxset, it's too hard to find full episodes in good quality haha
And you good sir are kind beyond measure, uploading these masterpieces for all to enjoy.

1st sketch about an artist predicting things
2nd sketch predicts onlyfans
12:08 makes me feel a little bad.... haha

Forshadowing.
it got taken off netflix, its the only option
20:45 This sketch is exactly how 8 out of 10 cats does countdown got greenlit.

11:40 - and here we see The Event.
Just finding this show now...holy fuk did i ever laugh ,THANK YOU SO MUCH best to watch when high...
I'd buy the DVD's in a second if they had a US release
@Gabriel D you could probabbly find it on amazon
Dvdes
Deeveedees
I had to buy a non regional dvd player so I could to watch them, and a few other shows that didn't have a USA release. Worth it!
A U.S release? That sounds a bit dirty.
I'd love to have a clip of that issac sketch to wind up my dad.
the first sketch about the mouse actually sort of happened. The inventor of the computer mouse had patented it well before personal computers were mainstream. He never made any money out of it.

If he’d patented it how did he not make any money?
@@Dilkingt0nne patents are finite
He worked for Stanford University who held the patent and let it expire before it became widely used.

No lord ... I am your bitch! xD
The brothers at the end totally remind me of my brother and myself 😂
Just learned about this show, as a major history buff I love all the history related skits.
okay well that's... okay
That feel when watching on UA-cam.
2:41 music is _Into The Future_ by Kully B and Gussy G.
Thanks
Methinks the TV exec sketch is more than a little sleight at Ben Elton 😄
I love how the crew in the background never reacts to their arguments (or groans) when they're yelling at the top of their lungs!
What is the song on the sketch at 16:00 ?
I would love to buy their DVDs but they are only sold as Region 2 copies meaning I can't Watch them in the US
region 2 copies?..sorry, whats is that?
elijah pink DVDs, blue rays, and video games are region locked. Region 2 is Eurpe meaning that only people with European DVD players can watch them.
wow - I didn't know that..Why on earth do they do that? money?
elijah pink I don't know. I wouldn't think it would be for money though. Surely it would be more profitable if they sold it globaly.
good point..weird they should do that. Thanks for clarifying for me.
10110 sir
"dont tell me to fuck off henimore!"
1:25 Douglas Engelbart of Xerox say hold my tail.
The last sequence is simply brilliant.
When you think 'no-one could tell these sketches like these two' you just know its original comedy!
Perhaps we should send them checks.
Random question: does anyone know the name/location of the ruined castle at 17:26?
Richard Castle
If it wasn't for youtube, i would never have discovered Mitchell and Webb in America
This is so ironic..
references to fry and laurie in the england sketch! garboldersham road springs to mind
I just realized: the Event was caused by Hennimore!
Desperately and hilariously a product of its time
He says he doesn't know how to read yet he continues to read "Numberwang"
"..a hot bath of cake"
I'll vote for that.
DOS for Dan, ja?
That drunk B&B is excellent
that hotel is going5 to be my honeymoon destination
4:35 - What does he say? Something about the Army?
We met in the army.
Medieval costumes in the beginning were amazing. There are period dramas that dont have costumes half as good as those.
Is the "Get Me Henninore" sketch in this one the "event" that noone's allowed to talk about in the game show broadcast?
Mind blown...
I like to think that that a-bomb explosion caused by Hennimore was "The Event".
When the heck did this show air? Never even heard of it!
@urplereen Ill upload the entire series 4 with extras in a few days (during the next weeks) in one episode form, instead of several broken parts. stay tuned
American here, does anyone know where that castle is at 17:27
...that moment you realize Brunhilde was James.
James Calbraith, you are a genius!
Wait, did they invent Twitter?!?
at least if we watch them on youtube we're staying indoors!
Which is the new reality
Pissed Sarah Hadland is the sexiest thing on UA-cam.
agree
i once downloaded the entire python series
but in the end i just got back to the parrot sketch
finally i threw most of it away UNWATCHED

we had a problem with our car it was all wobbly!
18:30...strangers having contempt for me except on my phone...thats Reddit.
I just can't help but think Jeremy and Mark when they keep their normal hair in these skits.
@18:00 look kids, this is how hard it was to break a phone in the old days
i have this on dvd but watch it here as well and pay my tv licence thanks M & W
21:00 is my favourite sketch of this entire show
That last scene is so good 🤣
had to turn the sound down at 19:30!
hahaha. the whole god/sacrifice thing... hahahahaha
In case any one is wondering, her name is Veronika Zemanova
The fact that it's probably entirely possible to pay someone for "roleplay" over text chat exactly like in this sketch 2:44 now is pretty wack, and 17:56 is just everyday life now!
Paul Whitehouse, Enfield and these two would make a fucking brilliant show
Check out Upstart Crow. Mitchell portrays Shakespeare, Enfield his father. It's a comedy written by Ben Elton. It's honestly quite ingenious and very funny stuff.
I would buy the sunday afternoon dvd...
What is the music that's playing during hennimore's day dream? it's so familiar but i just dont know it
yup, thats how i found out about Mitchel and Webb and Mock the Week
The first sketch is phucknig epic. Genius even.
Does really make you wonder what anyone was thinking when he started mutilating babies like that. I've heard it's relatively common in the US but nowhere else really outside of parts of North West Asia oh and parts of Africa. Quite the conundrum
we have to stop him as the event happens this month or in november
The bee man.
Mitchell superb as tv exec.
indeed, you sir are too clever for your own good
3:30 did they make it looks like a cheap film set from the 70s on purpose? The sound from the door hitting the wall makes it even more likely.
Surely that's why MrCassavius "randomly" uploaded this episode first ^.^
Umm what is a dvd
