"I wouldn't have minded, but then she put a mesh cage thing on my head and poured bees into it. They got into my eyes. That's what really stung."
"Not the bees!!"
I wouldn't have minded but I genuinely can't remember what the past form of "sting" is. Is it stung or stang or stinged?
NOT THE BEES!
@@paulbeardsley4095 Stung
Small tame sharks that ignored you might actually be worse than big ones that tried to eat you. It's a special kind of embarrassing to have your SO break up with you and throw you to some sharks- who then also decide that you're not really worth bothering about.
Cheeseanonioncrisps 😂😂
What mean'st thou by 'SO'? All I can think of at the moment is the conjunction.
OOOH! I get it, thou meant 'significant other'. I would have used periods to denote that it was an abbreviation so as to avoid ambiguity. Id est, I'd write 's.o.' as the abbreviation.
@@Tesana Just say the word you and stop being a pretentious twat.
@@jacksimpson4362 It wasnt him but i agree! Are people so lazy they cannot finish a word? Whats the point, causes only confusion and or irritation...
Every time I watch one of these vids, my vocabulary drastically improves
"dramatically improves" - NOT "drastically" (Look it up: and have a nice day.)
DieFlabbergast a quick Google should tell you that 'drastically' could definitely be appropriate here
You like your mother unfortunately missed a period.
Glorious Content Bravo.
Good!
"I wouldn't have minded sitting in a giant cauldron of boiling water, but I was wearing my watch at the time, and now it's completely ruined."
I love how well he explains things
I wouldn't have minded whichever way he explained it. But....
I think he is neurotic and a massive overthinking pedant who needs a good drink and shag tbh.
he sure knows how to overthink a topic. i for one love it.
I've thought about this in the context of rejection. Getting rejected by a woman is actually worse when she is very kind and polite about it. Then she basically shows that, not only is she attractive and doesn't want you, she is attractive and lovely and doesn't want you. She also may be thinking you seem like you might not be able to take rejection well. If she laughs and says, "sod off, loser, whatever made you think I'd give a shit?" At least you can despise her and feel moral high ground. :)
I wouldn't have minded the new youtube updates, but the like bar is now blue.
I wouldn't have minded the new UA-cam app update, except that I have to scroll through an obnoxious 20-vid suggestions list on my small screen just to get to the comments.
Woah that's a blast from the past
now it is grey
colours are gone from corporate youtube
@@CyrusTheFrog After 6 years thats been rectified, and people were still passed off about it.
A bit like when you said you wouldn't mind the state of the trains if they didn't ask you to attend your luggage?
pardon my french but *dayum*
Except that's not what he said... Even if he had, it's comedy, not some logical, philosophical polemic.
@@Codex7777 what I said was comedy, not some logical, philosophical polemic.
@@liamdienemann8937 - You're very obviously nowhere near David's comedic level, if you deign to describe that as 'comedy'... ;)
@@Codex7777 This interaction feels unnecessarily mean. The man merely made a facetious comment prodding at Mitchell and his rantings, and then you go on to suggest he's some sort of 'wannabe' comedian who's trying to place himself on a pedestal right next to Mitchell. The word 'comedy' might imply a level of professionalism, but it seems clear to me that he was likely saying 'I was making a facetious comment'. The thing is, it could have been your intent to just be funny for funny's sake with your response (which is a little ironic). The part that made me think this was the playful wink. If however, the wink wasn't an implication of 'JK lol' then its probably just condescension- which just rubs the salt in the wound. I wouldn't have minded, but did you have to add the wink?
I also love his rants on "Would I lie to you?"! His banter with Lee Mack!
This is one of his best. LOVE it. This writing is genius!
I wasn't until you mentioned it... but now, yes I am. Thanks :p
I definitely did not expect to see you in this comment section, what a coincidence
shit icing on the turdy cake ....fucking glorious
Aren't turdycakes microscopic bears who live in space?
Rob Fraser 🅱oi that's Tardigrades™
I love your vocabulary, exquisite detail to wording, sarcastic humour and intelligent banter.
I've been such a huge fan of David but I've never heard about this channel until yesterday. Now I'm just binge watching it.
Ha, I loved this stripe-theory of his so very much that I actually dared to wear my only striped sweater, which has been collecting dust in my closet for the past few years... And guess what, the first thing someone told me was: "you look rather beautiful today" And all that thanks to david ^^
Haha totally true, its nice that people are both morally and intelligently smart with responses and keep a fun smart atmosphere to there replies.
Agreed. The only thing on the BBC better than an episode of QI is an episode of QI that has David Mitchell as a contestant.
theres nothing better than these videos, david is not doubt a fantastic youtuber
I'm loving the slow creep camera zoom.
"shit icing on the turdy cake", lawl.
Considering ending something with someone and this pops up....
I think the best part of this video is the way he says "exotic massage."
Best one in a while!
"sit there and suffer like a man, and/or woman"
and xD
junoguten In 2012 the comment was a joke. In 2020, "man and/or woman" is probably how some people would insist upon being addressed. Mitchell possessed such prescience.
my favourite yet...
Ah - thanks wazzathebro - appreciate the information, and will be more aware in future. Cheers!
This is why I love David Mitchell subscribing UA-camrs.
I feel so childish, but I couldn't help giggling at the bit of hair stuck on David's eyebrow that moved when he raised his eyebrows.
2:37 is a great example of Cruel Mercy(-Killing).
As someone dumped by text...this helps :)
It genuinely was helpful of her to let me know that I wasn't ideal for her. Thanks and goodbye I guess.
I find that I am reluctant to watch a David Mitchell video on youtube because I often will spend the rest of the day watching other "related" David Mitchell videos. I wouldn't have minded but...
I like running my mouse across the video bar to see the previews like it's playing the video really small and fast.
the best one I have seen
Actually that bit at the end pretty much happened to me. I asked a girl out and she was so nice about it that it ironically made the rejection that much more disappointing. Now i can't even say 'bah who needs her! Shes a mean-spirited bitch!'. She's really really nice. *sigh*
Look on the bright side. You asked a girl out. More than a lot of guys are doing these days.
Every woman that rejected me (and that's every woman I asked out) also did it in the nicest way possible. So all I have left is a feeling that I'm simply inadequate, not that I had the misfortune to stumble onto some particularly nasty women... they were great, I simply am not.
Palliative outrage - you (and John F) saw this social media trend coming. oh dear you have me hooked, now I am binge watching these videos. Only joking, keep them coming!
I wouldn't have minded that you stole my toast, but you also murdered my entire family.
Brilliant.
my condolences
Bring on Peep Show 8 !!! Can't wait, can't wait...
a beautifully worded investigation into utter nonsense. ruddy brilliant!
ouch, david... right in the feels.
I wouldn't have minded a breakup if she hadn't cheated on me first.
you sound like my brain when i'm drunk and trying to sleep.
While I generally agree with David on a lot of things, breaking up with someone over text makes them feel worthless, especially after, say, a two year relationship. Even when they know things are going downhill, and they travelled four hours back home to see their partner to try to work things out/see if things weren't going to work out, if they were to receive a break up text, despite their partner knowing they were going to see each other later, I think that would probably take the piss.
i couldn't agree more.
Ah, very good, this one.
You make a me so crazzzzyy Mista Mitchell
Is there anybody else that contemplates how little they have done in the last week when these videos come out every Thursday ?
Try keeping a diary. You've probably done more than you realise. Include some of the interesting places you visit online e.g. this UA-cam. We tend to be dismissive about the reading we do online.
Oh, I do love you.
I love his hair
i can understand Davids soap box being difficult to understand , i am a native English speaker and i have to listen hard to get it all. You probably couldnt have found anything more difficult to watch, but im sure its worth it-hope you enjoy it. I´m a big fan of his work.
P.S. i live in your part of the world, E.S.
Nice!
The comments are always so coherent and well written on these videos, as though it's an insult to use poor English when referring to David Mitchell. Probably because it is.
"Shit icing on the turdy cake." This excellent phrase will make its way into my lexicon.
I saw you at 'The Unbelievable Truth' you legend!
I love that you said "man and/or woman".
Hmm, this is the first Soapbox video that left that PeepShow-y aftertaste.
How dare you scroll down when David Mitchell is talking!
David was out of focus. I wouldn't have minded, but the background was pin-sharp.
1:17 onwards sounds like the plot of literally every SMBC cartoon strip lol
Man, i have a lot of these to catch up on.
For anyone else almost having a breakdown because they don't understand the context of this sentence, here's an example conversation.
"Here's your food sir, apologies for the delay"
"I wouldn't have minded the delay, but this isn't even what I ordered."
Don't know why, but when he acted out the whiny bit, it made me think of Robert Webb. It is very much his humour, the self-deprecating looser jokes and wording.
"The shit icing on the turdy cake". Another Mitchell classic.
The best stuff on youtube has less than 1,000 views. There is excellence buried in obscurity.
Haha, David always gets it right.
art of war is as much about love as it is about war
Though this video more or less was about social and emotional development and how we act in relationships, I just felt it necessary to point out that some of us, such as myself, say "I wouldn't have minded" when we mean there is an important ethical distinction between to actions. For example, I wouldn't have minded, but they intentionally did me an injustice.Or: I wouldn't have minded, but it shows that you demand of me different than you expect me to put up with.
Yes of course. Popper would be proud.
yeah innit brah
I laughed so hard that I drooled on myself a little...
Flann O'Brien wrote a funny article about this same thing in relation to 'the Dublin man'. It's in the book, 'Hair of the Dogma'.
I love the fliping of cultural expectation and therefore reaction. It is like when he is talking about slimming stipes on QI.
your view on things really reminds me of George Carlin, cool I'm a huge fan !
this video was incredibly enduring
besides the John Finnemore numbers. Is that his real name? I wouldn't have minded; except I gave up weed and can't fathom watching peep show sober. I might remember every scene
She broke up with me...I wouldn't have minded, but she did it by linking this video with the caption, pick your own salt rub
I wouldnt have minded, but I got to swim with some sharks which was really cool and made the whole experience memorable and enjoyable but also emotionally confusing.
I usually say "I wouldn't have minded as much...". I do mind, but the extra kick pushes it over.
Good to know, you live in Espirito Santo?
The soap box is actually the easiest to understand him because he only speaks, very straight to the point and have a very good diction so you can look to his lips and guess what he means.
Peepshow and QI though, sometimes i have to watch again to put in context and not always i get it.
Family obligations... makes taking your money away a bit difficult... although I appreciate the moral judgement on my soul.
This is like the PBS ideas channel, but for social perspective
its the piont of observational comedy genius :P
I have actually said "it wouldn't have been so bad, but she was so fucking friendly and understanding about it that I can't even be properly pissed off"
Makes complete sense. You are easily baffled.
GREAT ♥
And if you break up, it will be very painful.
you're actually the most hilarious person
Hahahaha that is the reference of the century.
Shit icing on a turdy cake. My favourite line.
hilarious as usual
Moral of the story: there's no good way to dump or be dumped.
Hurry up with peep show 8! D:
His beard is majestic.
Surely the moral thing to do is something so bad the other person dumps you, then you can get out and they will feel dumping you was morally justifiable.
haha 'shit icing on the turdy cake' i am stealing this line.
I wouldn't have minded watching this video but the idea that he was sitting in a cooking pot was just ridiculous.
There's an exception to this. When traveling on a small budget, you usually get cheap hostels to stay in... and they're pretty much shit. But that's ok, you get what you pay for. But now, if that place smells like rancid, boiled onions for example, then I think it's fine to say: "I wouldn't have minded that the place only had a bed and a radio in room and the toilets/showers were communal, but the smell... I couldn't stand the smell". :)
True story.
So, at the end of the day, kindness is the cruelest option.
The lack of a capital letter begs to differ.
