So much underlying familiarity as well, the later seasons were just full of comedians appearing very sporadically and inevitably having to pretend to have a real rapport with the others.
Excellent............... I'm a big fan of Darwinian selection. These days the show's been PCd and woke-washed to the point you frequently get limp, unfunny people who are there just to tick the diversity box.

This is one of my favourite moments ever. I love how Russell wants to get a joke out and then still interrupts Andy and Ed. Ed's joke at 1:28 was a great comedy moment and Frankie was so good at talking about his views on crime. But the last part at 2:30 had me laughing so much. "Whoever is going to have sex for broccoli is going to be dirty." "YOU IGNORANT *BEEP*!"
This is why I love the later series of the show. The early days were so much about just getting your joke out before someone else jumped in and then Frankie would end each topic with a dark joke nobody could follow. Nowadays it's so much more conversational and more towards everyone joking together.
@@death2boredom338 Weird language ours innit where the same word can have multiple meanings! I did take Steven D's comment to mean some of the jokes were too obscure, rather than, as you point out, he may have meant some of the jokes were so dark no one could build on them. I assumed he didn't mean the 'can't build on it' version 'though as however dark one person took it a couple of the comedians could readily take it darker.

This is why i love rewatching the old seasons of Mock the week , the sheer chaos and fun they had is just so entertaining. 💙

Ed had too much coffee that day 🤣🤣🤣
That wasn't coffee
@@gordonramsdale I can believe that 🤣
"I have lost control." Dara, you're a sheepdog in charge of herding cats, were you really expecting this to work?
Probably just hoping Ed would let him have a couple of lines later.
You can’t lose what you never had.
Jimmy Carr too in 8 out of 10 Cats lost control. This must be the way a pandemic begins...
Apparently this is what it's like being on the show before it's all edited down. Which is why a lot of people only go on it once.

Trust me ........
Most of us could follow Frankie's thought train perfectly.
(What's that, what *do* you get if you cross the Queen & Prince Phillip?)
I.. what? As far as I'm concerned this is a perfect example of a good bit from the earlier series.
@@Farweasel I took it that "follow" in that comment was meant in the sense of a comedy in having to follow one joke with another.

These were the best panel... miss these lot!
Being Canadian, I'd get a massive cardiac arrest from 100 pounds a day.
A hundred pounds would be £100 😉
Or just the worst case of couch-lock in recorded history.
An out of control MtW was all we were waiting for
The longest 5 seconds of the day is when you're waiting to skip the ads. Ironically this is a clip from a BBC show. A station that doesn't show ads!
They do actually, but only for their own stuff. 🤪
Prime time Mock the Week
what a moment 😂😂
Good scene thanks
Ed has always been consistent about finding the car-crash pace of early MTW frustrating to try to work in.
God I'd forgotten how hard core it was
Really want to see Russell back on Mock The Week
2:35 😂🤣🤣
And we never get to hear Russell’s final punchline?
there are people out there that dont even know who clippy ie
............ and others who are trying to fathom meaning of that statement ;-p
It's a blessing and a curse. However I would say Alexa, Siri, and Google have taken on the mantle during the times they just start responding for no reason.
For 100 pounds a day i would have a lot of annoying trips to exchange it into something i can actually use
This is why Russell got his own show.
Ah, the early shows...those were the days...
Anarchy can be fun.

What would you get for £100 a day?
A bloody good holiday, when they become available again!
Allotment thefts ? Uhm, I like it, a sexy topic for gardeners question time 🤔😱👍
Time for an episode of Gardener's Interrogation Time.
@@AdrianColley 😀
Just brought to mind the Frankie Boyle Gardeners Question Time gag.
'I'm sorry. No one on the panel actually knows how to bring a fox to orgasm'.
“Scenes we’d like to see… more of…”
MTW breaking and corpsing.
A woman who has sex for broccoli is gonna be dirty.
Probably a vegan too :)
"What does a beggar earn." ?!?!?! Am I alone in seeing a social cancer here.
Nope. It's called the Sun newspaper
What I would get for £100 a day, is seven times as rich as I am getting now on Universal Credit.

It's been kinda anodyne since Frankie went. Once it was required viewing. Now, meh.
If Hugh was not there this panel would be shit.
MTW is now crap, nothing compared to the first 10 seasons
Andy hamilton is sooo tiresome
Which one is he?
@@admiralriptide6566 None of them
No, that’s Andy Parsons, Andy Hamilton is the short bald one...wait!
What about Andy Parsons? You know? The gentleman to whom you’re actually referring?
Oh yeah. Good catch. Andy Hamilton is fine. Fine. Fine, just fine.
