When you're up against an original thinker like David, repeat the same moronic joke against him over and over...... "pOcH oR rePRessEd?" "hE aCtEd POCh!"
We're missing the clip in which he is claimed to live in his castle with 10 different sorts of vaguely posh animals, all fighting with each other, he kylls his servant and have segs with a wall.
First time I’m hearing about the Earl Grey surprise and I wouldn’t have imagined Victoria describing it as a “surprise”😂… probably more of a “why not whip off the glass teacup and finish me off”.

Sweden got its "tea culture" (we're still a strong coffee nation) from the UK, but the most famous brand here is Lipton, especially Earl Grey and Yellow Label. I was a bit surprised when I realised that it wasn't the most popular tea in the UK and that I hadn't even heard of some of your most popular brands. Maybe Lipton was more successful with promoting their stuff abroad (?)
Huh, I'm from the UK and always thought Lipton was an American brand! I've only really seen their iced tea in stores over here, which is decidedly American rather than English.

quod erat demonstrandum does not mean 'what I have just demonstrated', and you can see that David knows that but either decides not to or doesn't get the chance to mention it. it means 'that which was to be demonstrated', as in to indicate that what was just written demonstrates the very thing that it was set out to demonstrate.
As much as they like to joke about it, David Mitchell is emphatically *not* posh. Benedict Cumberbatch is posh, Cara Delevigne is posh - David is as middle class as they get.
He was born in one of the most expensive cities in the U.K., he was raised in Oxford, went to a private preparatory school, went to a posh boarding school, and went to Peterhouse, Cambridge. That’s posh, dude
Am I the only one who thinks Rob's David impression is really bad? Normally he's pretty good but I would never guess a David impression if I didn't know before hand
One I remember was, "Caesar adsum yam forte, Brutus aderat." We translated that as, "Caesar had some jam for tea, Brutus had a rat." I will never know if it was actually Latin, or some sixth-former's joke!
(Don't read further if you want to keep that little mystery in your life!) Translation: "I, Caesar, am already here by chance, Brutus was here.“ It's not supposed to be a meaningful sentence, just a bit of fun with Latin words that sound like English! (Also allow me to correct your spelling: it's *iam since Latin usually doesn't use the letter Y, but the pronunciation fits.)

David Mitchell is not posh, he is civilized. And very funny.
Amazeballs, and welljel
And his travel dressing gown. And dressing up as a lord

Newsflash. Most of Rob’s impressions are dreadful.
Latin is the key to all the Latinate languages, English, Spanish, French, etc
I don't think Rob's impression of David is that good.
I think Rob is very, very funny, but I am baffled that anybody thinks he is a good impressionist. His “impressions” are mostly broad caricatures.

If he ever stopped playing it for laughs, Lee would make a great workplace bully.
Bell tea in New Zealand tastes like Lipton tea, and both taste like tea. Earl Grey is for people who don't like tea.
1:14 Ubi stationem est?
Nope, stationem would be accusative. Ubi statio est?
5 to 8 cups of tea a day! Who has the time?
v is pronounced more similar to wei or vei and c is (as David corrects himself to) indeed always pronounced K in Latin.
Well, it's classical vs. ecclesiastical Latin, innit
8 cups of tea a day!? How does he get anything else done?

That’s the joke, that’s why whenever Rob does an impression he stops and tells everyone who he’s impersonating.
