People always mention Lee when it comes to quick wit and improv, but I think how quickly David can think of a way to say anything in a comedically posh way is just as impressive.
I have recently, 6-8 months ago, discovered British comedy such as this on youtube. What surprised me is how many of your comedians are this razor sharp and quick with a killer comeback. I could now put at least a dozen people in this category. Mack, David, Victoria, Carr, Sean Locke, etc. Well Done Brits, thx for the laughs😂😂😂😅
@@NeungViewHe means in hindsight considering David Mitchell's new book Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens. Makes perfect sense!
I thought that if David wanted to get rid of a fox, he would put on his red coat and bowler hat, leap on his horse, drain a glass of port, and play a view halloo on his horn.
Now that Lee knows about David's irritation with people fiddling with his puzzles, I can see Lee working to get invited over to dinner so he can find a puzzle and fiddle with it.
@@Tao_Tology They explained in the video that you assemble the puzzle on a tray, then wrap the cling film over the tray, so presumably the film is held up by the borders of the tray without actually touching the pieces.
These are all things the upper middle class would fuss over or problems they typically have. A top hat couldn't be more Posh unless he wore it with coattails.
Lee destroys or breaks things! The answer should always be "no!" He was even rough with the wand and the end came off and fell. When he broke the pen AFTER saying he would not, that was not funny at all and the look on David's face and what he said was sad....! An uncomfortable silence followed. Lee's quick repartee is what he is great at. Amazing humour!
The deer joke by Lee and the “this is a hat” by David oh my god this was so quick I can imagine myself coming up with the same sort of jokes, they are fairly obvious ,but not in 30 microseconds ffs
Is there a particular reason why David's wife is always nebulously referred to as his wife, as if everyone involved - the audience included - doesn't know it's Victoria?
@@RainbowSunshineRain I was thinking this too and the only way I think that it is safer is that they can't directly withdraw money without your pin and would need to just use your stolen card to make payments instead of just knowing your pin and withdrawing all your money.
Nothing. It's just the general impression he gives and part of his public persona. They have said in interviews that him and Lee actually had a very similar upbringing in regards to economic status, school and where they lived.
If you are serious about jigsaws, like my husband, you have a puzzle mat. That is a felt mat that you can roll up. It holds all the puzzle pieces in place, and you can move the jigsaw wherever you like. You can even take your jigsaw on holiday, with you. Cling wrap sounds like a silly idea.
That jigsaw one, if it actually takes david 3 months to do a jigsaw then he does need help, i mean ive only done 2 jigsaws that each have 1000 pieces, the first one took a month mainly because i was waiting to get a frame to put it in then the second one only took 3 days
I have never used Apple Pay to make a transaction, because I wouldn't buy an iPhoney in the first place.....😃 David Mitchell always worth watching with his stories.....
It is a Samsung, and certainly not an over priced iPhoney which brings out a new and improved model with a new paint job costing a 100 quid more and the battery needs charging after half an hour.....Oh, and neve been hacked.......😁
I love the fact that David and his wife have recently had a second baby daughter. They kept the pregnancy a secret. I think their older girl is about 8 years old.
He still "comes across" posh as what you "come across" as is determined by the person listening, not the truth of the situation. You could call me a pedant here, but you're effectively being one too.
These examples weren't even particularly posh! I thought they'd have included stories like the one where he had a little bell that he'd ring to summon squash at his grandparents' house.
@@hannahk1306Yes, but that example was already in a David Mitchell comes across as posh compilation video. That's why this title says there are even more instances when he comes across as posh.
Someone needs to tell David that the entering the PIN thing is significantly less secure than the tap thing. Entering the PIN involves doing a particular physical action that someone else can simply observe and memorize. So you're taking an extra action that is a security risk instead of simply skipping an action that is a security risk. It's like riding a motorcycle and wearing a helmet. Sure, it's a layer of protection, but if safety were paramount, you'd simply not get on the motorcycle in the first place.
Lee always marks himself as a beach by never fully committing to any answer... "a lie even thou I think it's true"...that is a BEACH thing to do. Lee has no clue that he is marking himself as a little BEACH by doing this?
I love reminders of the absurdity of the 6' rule, which was just pulled out of some bureaucrat's arse, based on nothing. Everyone complied like the sheep they were, knowing it was all nonsense but playing along so as to not rock the boat.
Well.......no, it wasn't 'based of nothing' (and I refuse to believe that you think it was) There was a, largely, airborne virus and it _really is_ true that if you are further away from people you are less likely to spread it to others. If you ask me the realistic functional 'protective distance' should probably have been like 18 feet but that would never have been seriously enforced.
This will probably sound Sgt. Buzzkill, but I was thinking about Jo Brand's joke, about her husband getting her a bathing suit 2 sizes smaller, and that he's looking forward to seeing her in it, and then she got him a coffin and said the same thing. This is an INCREDIBLY toxic joke that we just laugh off. I have no idea if this actually happened or not, but let's pretend it really did. In this case, her husband has noticed that she's gaining weight. This is both a health issue, and an attractiveness issue. He pointed it out to her in as gentle a way as possible. He's saying that you're overweight, and he would like to see you thinner and more healthy. He is showing you his preference, in as nice a way as I can imagine. You have a choice at this point. You could lose the weight, showing your husband that you care about his opinion, and that you want him to feel attracted to you, so you will do as he so heavily hinted and lose some weight. Or you could wish him to die. Which of those two actions sounds like it would lead to a happy marraige, and a happy & healthy life? Why are we so accepting of toxic femininity?
You're making a LOT of assumptions about a hypothetical relationship for a throwaway joke here. There was no indication that she'd gained weight prior, just that her husband thought that she was fat. She's under no obligation to "care about his opinion" just because they're married- if he doesn't like the way she looks, then tough shit. This isn't "toxic femininity", it's sensitive masculinity.
People don’t t realise historically both are from the same type of backgrounds and education it’s just one encourages the idea that he is rough working class background and it’s not David
"You have to get past Pearl, in reception."
Very nice.

Yep, that one made me howl!
Response like that supporting each other you can tell they're good buddies.

“Because a lot of its analysis has been discredited” is a great example of this.

Exactly. I’ve just bought it too.
Can’t you just picture David in his cape and hat, with his wand at the ready?
And it seemed like just the sort of thing Victoria would buy
@@Tjs736 I could almost suspect she did it because of this show. :p
That's too much sexy talk for me.
I think David comes across more as an anxious nerd than a posh bloke
I agree. Educated ≠ posh!
But sweet
He is posh though.
He comes across as posh because he is.
If he also comes across as a bit nerdy then that’s a side note
David is adorable! All it takes is a wand and a hat to make him happy.❤
I thought that if David wanted to get rid of a fox, he would put on his red coat and bowler hat, leap on his horse, drain a glass of port, and play a view halloo on his horn.
Is that before or after he kills a peasant?

Looks like it would slip right in.

Yeah but David likely knows Lee well enough that he hides his puzzles anyway.
I haven't heard the word plimsole in at least half a century 😂
I had to look it up.
I'd love to see David Mitchell as Holmes and Hugh Laurie as Watson
... and Bob Mortimer as Moriarty? :D
Hugh has already played House who is base on Holmes. I think David would make a better Watson anyway.
@@njoshua3265 David has already played both Holmes and Watson.
I think the other way round would be better
@@blackwater009yes!
"Oooo he loves it" always gets me
Bob's enthusiasm is precious
It's obvious! Anything to do with less contact with people, David would LOVE!
I really love David’s reaction to the clean film idea to protect his puzzles. It is as if he has seen the light after many decades of toil.
Cling film would be difficult to then remove off of the puzzle without taking pieces with it.
Eggcorn!
Right , as if he was thinking “Finally a benefit from being on this show!”
@@Tao_Tology They explained in the video that you assemble the puzzle on a tray, then wrap the cling film over the tray, so presumably the film is held up by the borders of the tray without actually touching the pieces.
@@kardRatzinger No, my comment stands.

Am I allowed to touch David’s wand 😂
No

The first one was a lie,the map was of saxon Europe 😂😂
Unruly is a great book by the way. And David is a great storyteller.
Jo Brand with the coffin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant
Predictable joke awkwardly inserted
It's a joke she told in the 80s. Others told similar long before her. It was just a joke she knew that she inserted into it. Not wit, memory.
"Ah, but does the wand fit?" 💀
Seeing Jim Broadbent on the panel made me smile.
that guy is everywhere
Right? So many good guests
He comes across as posh every time he opens his mouth
He does doesn’t he? 😂
Only if you've never met real posh people in London.
posh and repressed
"Got to get past Pearl, on Reception."
Is there a particular reason why David's wife is always nebulously referred to as his wife, as if everyone involved - the audience included - doesn't know it's Victoria?
Will top hats ever be back in style?
contactless must be safer becasue nobody can look over your shoulder and get your pin.
But if someone steals your card, they can only use it if contactless is activated.
Additionally, it's vulnerable to someone just carrying a terminal around and hitting your pocket with it.
@@RainbowSunshineRain I was thinking this too and the only way I think that it is safer is that they can't directly withdraw money without your pin and would need to just use your stolen card to make payments instead of just knowing your pin and withdrawing all your money.
Great Show.
Simply brilliant and amazingly entertaining to watch :)
Having worked in retail slower ways of paying, collectively, add a lot of time to clearing a big queue.
I just got home from my retail job and this was my entire day in a nutshell
You are lucky you did not work retail in the heyday of the check
Mitchell's point is that typing in a pin is barely longer than 'hold card to reader, wait for card to be recognised, payment process'.
Such a crush on Alex Jones
Any new episodes? I’ve seen these episodes too many times.
Yes it's true, David does have a wife and she's pretty damn fit also lol
NB: educated ≠ posh.
The worst part of these is that they never explain if it's partially the truth or how they really feel about it.
That’s true. Wish they had a blog of some sort
Even the true ones, I'm sure they embellish them a little. It would be nice to know how much of it is true.
I am shocked that David does not know the correct way to don a hat :O
Quite right. He should be wearing it on his elbow.
I used to think Rob Brydon & Ben Miller were the same guy
There was a fabulous episode of QI where they appeared together and joked a lot about the resemblance
@@lilymarinovic1644 They even wore a similar shirt.
Studying the Anglo Saxons at age 7?
I think it took me about two years before i accepted contactless payment as safe so I would believe it
I absolutely LOVE the wit of David and Lee..............Also Bob Mortimer is priceless......Glad I get this show in Australia..............
Oh...I'm posh and repressed and repressed and posh.
sorry, is this not every episode of the series front to back?
We've got one of those wands!
Never got it to work properly though. 😆
what's the point of putting in the chapter things but not doing it properly... the last one starts at 12:53
never sweater vests
what exactly makes David "posh" ??? Didn't his parents run a Pub ??
Nothing. It's just the general impression he gives and part of his public persona. They have said in interviews that him and Lee actually had a very similar upbringing in regards to economic status, school and where they lived.
He went to Abington day school and so yeah, posh
