Richard is a master of deadpan humor, but I love that you can hear a slight quiver in his voice here despite his best efforts, betraying how much emotion he's really feeling at this moment. Really lovely speech.
Sherlock Mowg yeah i decided to hit it hard enough to correlate to 101 like as as well as having it a round number i needed it to be in the 200 times table. (i only just noticed the mistake i made)
Thomas Steele watch his interview with Alan Carr, the speech wasn't prewritten, he thought of it while he was on stage. And also it doesn't matter if it was prewritten, because we all know that if anyone else had said it, it wouldn't have been as funny XD
Richard is one of my favourite comedians, but I think most people are naive about how most comedians are not spontaneous. Most stand up is just a repetition of pre-written jokes practised and delivered to perfection. He could have said his speech off the cuff, but his speech is a great opportunity to advertise his skills in comedy, so if I were Richard I would have pre-written my speech just in case I won.
Yeah, it works for Richard, like it works for George Carlin, Sean Connery, Frankie Boyle, Eddie Murphy, Bill Hicks and Robin Williams. I know all of my comedy heroes pre-wrote their sets, maybe one new set a year, after a few years in comedy consistently writing new jokes it will give them hours of material of riff off of. And since it has being used before the material has been market tested to prove that it satisfies their audiences. You wouldn't feel cheated if a concert song wasn't improvised on the stage live, you want to hear the best stuff, just like comedy, but people are under the illusion that it is spontaneous.

@@kyro8581 Obviously I have heard him or I wouldn't have made the comment. He's not great at ad-libbing, except for some few and far between witty remarks. I like him and occasionally find him amusing, but I think that to say that he is "good without a script" is to give him too much credit. Cheers.
Yeah I'm Aussie and I just can't understand why he's not better appreciated here (I'll talk about Richard Ayoade and ppl will be like "who?" and I'll have to reference the IT Crowd and still sometimes nothing) - when he's so respected by the UK comedian circuit (I was looking over so many familiar faces GENUINELY v pleased for him).
You could tell that he tried to prepare a speech in case he won but he ended up not 100% preparing one because he didn't think he'd win, but that award was thoroughly deserved! That was the best BAFTA speech ever! Very funny and very awkward, just like Richard Ayoade!
Damian Brown not accidental, he's very clever in his word choice and presentation. Comics are often very smart and perceptive. And i dont mean Amy Schumer
@@clayface563 They aren't good. I didn't laugh once at Darkplace. Submarine has some good parts, but most of it isn't good. There are many problems with it. Why does Jordana choose Oliver? Why does he end their relationship? Is his mother cheating or not? Why do they walk into the sea at the end?
He has that very rare gift of not having to do anything. Although otherwise wildly different, the only other immediate example that come to mind is Tommy Cooper - again, a comedian who didn't have to perform to get laughs, he somehow just WAS funny. Richard Ayoade has that same quality; no performance required, just effortlessly funny. And, he seems like a genuinely lovely man.
This just somehow gets more adorable every time I watch it. And I get the exact same kind of stage nervousness... but I can only wish to look so sweet while having it.
God it's not fair! How can this man be so perfect? Legend is the word often wrongfully used but in this case, RICHARD AYOADE is a LEGEND and truly a NATIONAL. TREASURE.
Absolutely love how began with a kiss for his wife and ended with a thank you towards his wife. The best thing in life is a supporting partner to be there.
I'm a year late at watching this but OMG is he having a one man standup show ??? either way, brilliant richard doest it again ! more than well deserved and absolutely amazing !! best award speech ever !!!
how much fun is HE?...everything you see him in you feel sorry for him and want to cuddle him but you also want to SMACK him up side the head for being such a Brainiac....that's Love. and we do love our Richard Ayoade.
Awww I love him so much and even more at the fact that I don't think he believes he's great 😂 he sounds so nervous and awkward but that's we we all love him 😍
This should be shown to all aspiring actors when they begin so if they ever win anything they know how to give an acceptance speech. Phenomenal in its precision. No need to wax lyrical.
This clip has got more than twice the number of views (on this channel) than all the other BAFTA clips put together as far as I can see. There's not many clips for some reason. The IT Crowd and it's characters are still very much in people's hearts and will be for a very long time! I think that Katherine hasn't got very many views partly because of the title of the clip. It should say "Jen from The IT Crowd wins the BAFTA", not Katherine Parkinson. :) And any nerd-geek worth their salt will see these words "Jen from The IT Crowd wins teh internet".
Richard Ayoade is the national treasure who refuses to accept that he is a national treasure
I agree with him
I agree with him but not you.
Tom Langford I'm from the US and even I think he is a national treasure. Is that possible? Can we share him?
mchlross3 As an Australian, I would have to say he is a treasure of the former British empire, as most of us here would agree
I'll drink to that

It's probably anxiety (which he suffers from)
I think the quiver is anxiety hence the 'oh that's a lot of people' at the start
Who would have thought that a Norwegian and a Nigerian would give birth to the most English Englishman ever to live in England?
Lots of similar cases...
I did !
That’s basically how England works isn’t it 😂😂
He really does englanding well.
He doesn't even try..
Humor just oozes out of him.
Comedians practice a lot.
I bet Richard's speech was probably prewritten.

Now it's Jacksfilms' Shorty Award
Agreed it was brilliant! But Daniel Day-Lewis’ are intelligent & eloquent too.

He's standing like a 6ft toddler and is 100% the sweetest person currently in existence.
Wasn't that just the cutest omg his posture
He’s a gentle man.
What a lovely man

Shooter412 ummmm cool... hi
But yes! You are a wild runner... Girl.
unravellings Hi (:
Shooter412 Haha, you awkward sod.
When he mentioned his wife I think I actually spotted some facial expressions
Mythagoras I did as well, and most of the time, I don’t see that happen from him. That was a bonus.
Oh wait no, it was just a breeze.
Are you sure he isn’t just dealing with trapped wind ? X
"More than everything" awwwwWWW

It's anxiety if anything.
Is he happy? I feel somehow yes, but also seems like he think he doesn't deserve it.

That, and Colin Firth at the Oscars
It's the most inept.
@@davidz2562 I think you mean self deprecating.
damn that acceptance speech was a performance on its own.
He never stops, ever.
Oh really.
that might be a bad thing
Damn bloody good damn bloody acceptance speech
It was an awful attempt. It shows he needs a script or better performers.
"I'll leave with less dignity than I came up with." ... just brilliant!
i love seeing how happy everyone else looks for him as well...its pretty clear how awesome/loved he is

Olivia Colman was smiling so wide it made me smile too :D
I love that Graham looks like one of his children is up on that stage. He looks so proud! Everyone does.
Not going to lie, I got teary eyed when he thanked his wife for 'more than everything'. He is my favourite human!
👏👏👏👏

I bet you're a right hoot at dinner parties.
She was in The IT Crowd as well, the episode where they go to the gay musical and Roy meets one of the stars, Laura Knightley.
He's so effortlessly self deprecating and wry and heartbreaking. One of the best award speeches I have heard.
If I didnt thank you its because they cut it..one of the funniest ever quips at these kind of award shows
Richard so deserves that BAFTA! Delighted for him!
+Suzi Morgan when did he get the bafta. 2014?
Suzi Morgan I agree. I think it’s good that he got it as well.

So people really like Dr Who non-ironically and without just watching it out of nostalgia?
+Sunny Day I love it to this day
ALL OF YOU STOP SAYING "DR" DOCTOR WHO IS ALWAYS "DOCTOR"

He would despise the fame and the fandom.
The smile he gives when he thanks his wife. His love for her is worth more than maintaining his character

A very Humble man .
"Ohh a lot of people"- honest yet so endearing. Congrats Richard!
The IT Crowd is the funniest show I've ever seen. And Richard Ayoade as Moss is the funniest character. I'm so glad he won. He deserved it.
Tracy Lee I agree. I’m happy he won as well.
But it's his only good work.

Must it mean something? Its called deadpan
Actually I'd say it's a very talented performance, he just makes it look effortless.
Tommy Cooper could make you laugh just by looking confused.
this kiss at the beginning and the thanks for “more than everything” for his wife, so beautiful

@@kozhikkaalan how about now? And now?
He is so brilliant.
He did law at Cambridge: what a lad
well deserved. such a great actor, comedian and writer
First time EVER seen turning award acceptance into an instance stand up routine. Richard Ayoade is a beautiful prince of introvert comedy. 💖👏
the funniest part is that he's actually nervous for this... lmfao richard ayoade what an absolute legend, love you
Yessssss! So thrilled for Richard.
Richard Ayoade is a living legend, I especially love his acting and character in the IT crowd. Amazing
Oh! That's why he won it! A well deserved award
Richard Ayoade made this acceptance speech one of the best stand up comedy of the year! He does not need any script!
Best BAFTA speech of the night! Me and my sister were in stitches!
All I could think as he stammered was how adorable he sounds!
I LOVE HIM!! He is gold on the IT Crowd and deserves every accolade. Cheers and hello from America.
That acceptance speech was legendary!
9 years later, and the UA-cam subtitle still tickles me. "And the basket goes to rigid I awadhi"
God it's not fair! How can this man be so perfect? Legend is the word often wrongfully used but in this case, RICHARD AYOADE is a LEGEND and truly a NATIONAL. TREASURE.
Just watched IT Crowd recently and it's nice that he has gotten some recognition for his acting, he was so amazing on it just happy for him.
He is seriously the best.
What a thoroughly endearing man :D
Comedians always have the best acceptance speeches.
HIS WIFE WHAT A LUCKY LADY!
Laura Knightley, she's gorgeous!
he makes my heart quiver just as much as his voice in this speech
he's hilarious and super adorable I can't stand it!
He seems so lovely and genuine:) I literally look up to this man as a role model so much:)
Always loved Richard and admire the way he doesn't bring smut or bad language into anything he says or does.He is naturally funny 🥰
Absolutely love how began with a kiss for his wife and ended with a thank you towards his wife. The best thing in life is a supporting partner to be there.
He is adorable.
What an absolute legend 😂 The very epitome of dry British humour, I love it!
He's adorable and hilarious and smart. What a combination!
Funny, humble and touching without being mawkish. Just perfect.
How can anyone not adore this guy? He is a gift to all who see him
This man is so freakin adorable.
So happy for you Richard!
And I'm happy for you Lucy
minch333 and I'm happy

Being so likeable and endearing without trying, or caring, is some kind of special gift.
I love how genuinely happy people are for him😍 I just love Richard! he is my favorite person to watch when Im down and he never fails to cheer me up!
Good for him. Loved that show!
Aw u can hear the anxiety in his voice but he handles it so well im jealous
He handled it very badly. He has very poor social skills.
oh @@davidz2562, does he make you feel replaced?
@@dekumarademosater2762 Replaced how? There isn't a competition, let alone a prize, for worst social skills.
It really makes me angry that the editors cut out the bit where he thanked me for my contribution as a fan.
richard: blinks
me: YOURE DOING AMAZINGG YOURE SO TALENTED I LOVE YOOU
snlcolin honestly same
Everybody loves Richard Ayoade.
"I'll leave with less dignity then I came up with"
Lmao he is hilarious :D
0:28 that "oh, it's a lot of people" is real. He's nervous. Don't know how he manages to stay in control continuously.
What a brilliant man! And may I say, incredibly handsome as well. 10 out of 10.
I love him. I hope one day he will realise how amazing he really is and how much happiness he’s brought us
Don't think he'd be the Richard we know and love if he did that
Susie well, no you have a point. Still he’s super talented
It was so kind of him to thank me in his speech, pity it was cut for time.
Brilliant! Not prepared to give this speech, but so wonderfully given.
