It also leads to people getting "disposed of" in the entertainment industry because they get wrung of all their material and then dropped as soon as there's a consistent tiredness in audience reaction. So we get denied a fuller career of some talent who could grow into something greater. But I guess that's entertainment.

Sure. That’s why they all laughed. I suppose nobody got Brydon’s vertical stripe/height comment either?

David Mitchell`s description of terrible customer service is so spot on, I have often felt the same way from both perspective's in my life

The look on Stephen's face when his lava lamp tips over has always been a favorite

Rob Brydon (1.7m tall) and wearing a vertical stripes, "I have a friend who's quite short and he likes to wear vertical stripes because they make him look taller." I get the feeling he was setting the others up to make fun of him for saying it's a "friend" who does this only to have David take it in a whole other direction.

I love it when David gets into one of his tirades.

Great stuff❤❤❤

Ok I am not crazy. At 10:41 there is a missing set inclusion symbol in the Russell's theorem. I had to look it up, it's on p.379 of Volume I of the Principia if anyone is curious. They have: ⊢:. α, β ∊ 1. ⊃: α β = Λ . ≡ . α ∪ β ∊ 2 It should read: ⊢:. α, β ∊ 1. ⊃: α ∩ β = Λ . ≡ . α ∪ β ∊ 2 In modern notation: ⊢ (α, β ∊ 1) ⊃ [ (α ∩ β = ∅ ) ≡ ( α ∪ β ∊ 2 )] Which states that if α and β are discrete unitary sets the intersection (the members of the sets α and β they have in common) of α and β is the empty set if and only if α and β's union is a member of the set of duals (the set of sets that have two discrete items). kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoiK3MeEipW-XaQ.html

Dave is so good in Peep show you forget some times how great he is in real life

I agree with David. Sign writers always know..

All three spellings of grocers there were correct, though for different uses.

This just goes to show once again that, while David Mitchell is absolutely a star, Dara Ó Briain is the most wonderfully collaborative comedian. Any time anyone makes a joke, he not only knows the joke quicker than anyone else, he then also knows how to serve the punch line, how to make it funnier! Talk about customer service.. Dara is an artist.

I like Dara but his “tick” of saying “urgh” after every sentence is something I can’t get over noticing.

Well said- while comedians normally only get ranked on their 'goals' of direct laughs, people like Dara also need a lot more respect for their record of 'assists' too.

I want David Mitchell to write theories for scientific papers :D

I love David's rants

I love David!!

Hello,, how are you feeling

"I don't feel that cool" Yeah, you do.

Mitchell was so right about jobs. Anyone on minimum wage clearly didnt choose to do that.

I think David Mitchell might make me laugh more than any other entertainer. So often I have had to skip back because I have missed anything that came after because I was still laughing to much. His prepared material is very funny, but those times when he gets to just go off on something he finds irritating seems to perfectly align with my sense of humor.

My favourite part of this is Alan shouting, "Common usage! Common usage!", immediately taking the academic view, instead of Stephen's subjective, one. It's a role flip that happened more and more as the show went on.

Actually proud of myself for getting the spelling of grocers and accommodation correct

A party game is "Who alive or dead would you to have dinner with?" It would be a coin-flip between David Mitchell and Stephen Fry.

The vertical vs horizontal stripes bit always gets me. I has since stopped wearing stripes of any kind.
