The real gag from the 2nd time onwards is the anticipation of how much of this nonsense the Bond is gonna put up with. The gag where the twist is he just goes ape on Kruvchek is more like the setup.

Ah yes, the mounted machine gun. It may appear to be a deadly force on the outside; but, on the inside, it is no more than just a simple plant pot holder and coat hanger. Take an unsuspecting Commie Garden Community. They will be none the wiser to your chic elegant choice of war-themed pottery and announce you the winner of any gardening competition may it be for your striking design or for fear of it. And, right under the Russian rug, you’ll have stolen both the dignity of the Russians and their precious communal gardening medallions. Better put the goggles on.
Oh lord, cold calm 007 Martin with dark and slightly long hair, slicked back or to the side, with a dark suit, stand up straight with blank face. A marvelous visual that I thought I would never found in a comedy sketch.
Evolution of the 18th-19th century swordstick. Wikipedia says back then some ladies sometimes carried swords in their parasols, as it wasn't fashionable for a lady to carry a sword, or admit that she knew how to use one.
OMO goshywoshy Yeah swordsticks have existed for hundreds of years. Last week an eighty year old lady tried to take one on a plane and the TSA caught her. She had no idea it was even there.
Missed opportunity with the car. He should have pulled out a built in cigarette lighter, said "we bought the optional extras" then proceeded to touch it to the doll which immediately bursts into flames
Actually Bond did use an ordinary wristwatch as a weapon in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (the book). I liked the From Russia With Love cheesewire refernce during the watch one as well!
+Gasparagus Productions I think he'd make a wonderful Very Young, Not Actually Double-0 Yet, Nervous, Bumbling, Actually A Virgin, Still Hasn't Even Killed A Man Yet And Only Recently Obtained His Driver's License version of James.
I think it's been awhile since an actual Englishman played a Bond, I don't think he has much of a chance. (Edit: whoops, I didn't know Daniel Craig was English.)
Well now you have that in 2 or 3 marvel films, potentially more in the near future, off the top of my head I can think of 'Black Panther' (during which he has a pretty substantial role) and 'captain America: Civil war'
no one screams and rants like david mitchell... did anyone notice how his hair didn't move while punching the dummy but was all messed up afterwards talking to freeman?
I'm not kidding. In a recent Bond film that was the gadget. A gun that can only be used by Bond. If the wrong person used it... In another film a regular smart phone was the gadget.
I wish so much that they would do at least one more 'I'm Alan Partridge' style show, as much as I like the new things they're doing I feel like we all need to see him in his off screen environment again.
This seems to also be a rather accurate depiction of British security services what with high profile defectors in Britain dropping dead at a steady pace. Puchek seems to keep himself busy.
I wish they had filmed an ending where -Bond- the agent, unnamed for legal reasons, actually lashes at Puchek, Q-style. Such a wasted opportunity... Also, does anyone know - did they ever finish maintenance on that Browning?
"Lights every time!" *Proceeds to show that it clearly doesn't.*
It's little touches like this that make this series truly shine.
Also the compass in the heel has obviously fallen off during the kicking and stomping.
Ahh, you're so lucky.
For sure, because it's not the main comedic premise or even the secondary one.
Made in Britain, obviously
3:48 "There's a compass in the heel..." Proceeds to show that it clearly doesn't.
I like how there's an alarm that specifically goes off when Q beats the shit out of a mannequin.
That was my favorite gag.
That's a masterful touch
There's a compass in the heel...
Yes. It alerts MI6 that they need a new mannequin.
Someone once accidentally crossed Q on the warpath between him and the mannequin - they can't risk that happening again.
I just love how his standards just gets lower and lower.
Almost like us for reacting to the same joke over and over
@@quantumjourney1 whaat no

It did degenerate!
His expectations kept getting lower.
David Mitchell just did the exact same gag 6 times in a row and I laughed every time
Yeah, was a good gag really.
Michael Jones oh lighten up, it’s a sketch show it’s supposed to be wacky over the top humour. Pokes fun at a lot of genre conventions

Was it just me or did Martin Freeman seem to see the funny side at 3:30 as well?
Ditto! :D
I love the fact that there's a klaxon that sounds to warn everyone that Q is having another meltdown
I think he might have some anger issues towards the Russians.
Only russian spy bastards
doesn't everyone?

well, Britain's irrational hatred for Russians has been a thing for almost 3 and a half centuries already, so it's nothing new.
Well almost every Russian on the internet is an arsehole :)
Can I have a stick with a nail in it? X'D
Sara Leona or a poyn-ted stick!
MasterGriefSr Fresh fruit not good enough for you, eh?
"... he is taken aback, his eyes glued to the deadly lustre!" Pure poetry.
Travel sweet, Puchek?
Yes, I love how he comes up with these little fantasy scenarios that have no basis in reality.
dinsy512 no basis in reality? I always have travel sweets in my car.
Well, be careful with the sherbet coating.
Creepy Muscovite bastard!
Had no idea that Martin Freeman and David Mitchell ever worked together. This is gold.

Has David Mitchell worked with Rowan Atkinson?

If Martin Freeman ever auditioned for Bond, he'd have it in the baggins for shire.
That was actually quite good
Underrated joke 👍
Oh yes, It's a shire thing.
Shut up 🤣🤣🤣
Heyooo!
“Better put the goggles on” kills me every time
Notice how none of his staff react to his screaming and attacking a manakin, he's obviously done it so often they're used o ttheir boss being insane
I love that the mounted machine gun gets more and more complicated as the "weapons" get more and more asinine.
The guns the same each time. Just a different person working on it

I must've watched this about 10 times and only just realised that Puchek is basically just ketchup backwards
Mindblown
Which is red....
(Q extends umbrella)
- Wow..
- And that's not all..
:DD
I'm amazed they got an actual by the looks of it 1964 Aston Martin DB5 for a single gag on such a short lived show
That rental was the entire budget for the episode.
Q has been running down the budget with all his ideas
There's something about the alarm going off in the background that is just
😂😂
I said on the third one “if he does it again I won’t laugh.” I laughed every time...
"Take that with your locked room and your "I've got a gun but you've got shoes!" ya bastard!" is my favorite angry exclamation in the whole bit
"Can I have a stick with a nail in it?" OMG James Bond movie featuring the Pain Train

Take a moment to appreciate Martin Freeman's performance and timing. He really elevates the script.

Earliest use of it that I know of was the avengers

It shouldn't be funny every time, but somehow it is. I blame David Mitchell for having such instinctual suppressed rage.
Missed opportunity with the car. He should have pulled out a built in cigarette lighter, said "we bought the optional extras" then proceeded to touch it to the doll which immediately bursts into flames
No because that's not the joke
You have to hand it to Q, he did take the target down every time.
The editing is funny because sometimes he beats up puchek, his hair is fine and then it cuts to him with a full mess of hair out of nowhere.
This is actually compilation of the 'inept Q' bits from different episodes, each comprising various sketches like this.
This might be my favorite Bruiser sketch
Actually Bond did use an ordinary wristwatch as a weapon in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (the book). I liked the From Russia With Love cheesewire refernce during the watch one as well!
I love the Morris Dancers in the background of the third one for no discernible reason
The Morris dancers fighting at the opening of the third bit never fails to make me laugh-snort inelegantly!
How have I not seen the 'Bruiser' series before? This is awesome.
Give him a few years and Martin Freeman is going to play Bond in an actual Bond movie.
Wouldn't Martin make a brilliant bond!

but isnt the original bond scottish?
Only if Mitchell plays Q; appearing at the climax of the film to kick the shit out of Bond's nemesis.
Sounding the klaxton during every attack demo is a nice touch.
This is so stupid, but funny
Martin Freeman, with dark hair, in a sleek black suit........WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE

"Can I have stick with a nail in it?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
David and Martin together. God, how perfect...
LOL. Love the look on his face, the "why the hell am i still here" look.
I love how the alarm always goes off
I'm sure the sherbet coating will make those sweets even more deadly.
Martin Freeman makes a good bond
As an actor Martin has a perfect timing. Thank God he finally got a Bafta! He so deserves it!
This is why Watson never had any gadgets off Mycroft, they were all rubbish.
Better put the goggles on'
I'm dying laughing, here. This is my favorite of all the David Mitchell skits I've seen. Just as good as his rants, if not better.
That's not a gadget Michael, that's just monstrous use of a biro
Every detail of this sketch is perfect
David puts so much into the role I am fcuking crying with laughter so much it hurts!
😜😂😂😂😂😂
Do you think that mannequin did something to Q as a child?
no one screams and rants like david mitchell... did anyone notice how his hair didn't move while punching the dummy but was all messed up afterwards talking to freeman?
Couldn’t help but smile when David Mitchell said, “Time To Die.”
Yes! I've been scrolling through the comments, hoping someone else noticed it!
"Okay?"
David's shit eating grin at 5:13 gets me every time.
BRILLIANT ! Why only one series was done, is mind-boggling.
I love how the sword was just a distraction tactic!
"Can I have a gun?" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Pretty sure Alan Partridge got to the monstrous use of a pen gag before this.
Yeah and it was executed Perfectly
I do love my Alan, ooh his latest show for a second series which just started airing a few days ago on BBC lol x

@@DerrisDerrison Definitely agree. The new stuff is hit and miss but the earlier stuff, especially "I'm Alan Partridge" is gold.

I bet these sketches were a great way for Mitchell to vent his anger
In BBC Sherlock, John loves Bond.

Reminds me of the cheese shop sketch from Monty Python
2023 and I'm still laughing, and had to dash off to loo for a pee! 😊
"Cough, cough, we're still working on the, cough, cough, sherbet coating". Best line in the sketch.
This was a very well done set for such a repetitive and obvious joke.

No. The morris dancers kept dropping bells into the barrel.
Good idea. This was funny but it lacked any direction or kind of punchline.

sometimes repetition makes things funnier, don't know why exactly

What's with the aggression alarm?
So they know to give Q some space!
Dude that's the best part lmao!
Q gets angry sometimes. 😂
Oh God. It's Martin Fucking Freeman.

I could not believe I laugh at this XD Thanks for sharing this (Martin was great and the look on his face was priceless).
They didn't really need the goggles....
i was going to make a joke about "hey, that's martin freeman", but no, it actually is
Look at his cartoon face and his hair, he looks like a Fisher-Price man.
Is it wrong of me that I kind of wish they'd mix up the punchline a bit?
I was hoping that he would just give him a gun at one point. MIght of been pretty funny.
