A heartfelt compliment from Frankie Boyle! Only David Mitchell is worthy of such a thing.

I agree. Nowadays it's just a bunch of comedians fighting with each other to get their jokes on TV :(

David Mitchell SHOULD be on Newsnight. Actually, he should be on every current affairs programme on television offering his hilarious rants.

i love how everybody listens attentively when Mitchell starts ranting

Well this is feeling more and more relevant.

I swear sometimes David Mitchell reminds me of a British Jon Stewart...LOVE BOTH OF THEM

I think he sums up the system quite well!

David is brilliant!!

Frankie's right you know, I'll be watching news night every night!

The Daily Show by David Mitchell. I would definately watch it, even if I live in the Netherlands!

"because they're arseholes" love him!

Best part of the transcribing is "Sunk or anything" being translated to "or some Korean".

anyone else find frankies approval of david bizarrely wonderful? they should do a show frankie could piss off/scare/offend the audience and david could rant about the audience being pissed/scared/offended

Awesome video quality. I mean both image wise and what THE LEGEND says.

0:17 Frankie cracking up lol love how Dara and Frankie find each other so funny

Very smart reply.

Somebody listened and now I'm being recommended a clip of David Mitchell on Newsnight.

He should do the stand ups. I would love to watch it. I dearly recommend all David Mithell stuff mostly his books. It's brilliant.

Still true 10 years later. And he's just come out with a new book.

Let me quote Gekko here:"It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another."

WELL SAID!

Words of wisdom yet again from David Mitchell, Banking will ruin the world soon.

Yes.

The irony of Frankie Boyle urging Mitchell to comment on world news is that Boyle has a show where he does that very same thing.

I think he summed it up quite nicely. 😎

I knew I wasn't alone in that idea

Hahahahaha @ David Michelle. He's the best. Yes Frankie does respect David. I could watch this clip forever it never gets boring.

For people who care it's actually the other way around. The point is someone did effectively just "type a bigger number in" that's what the housing bubble is. The houses aren't worth as much as so many people thought they were. And the system of lending money to keep businesses running has lead to REAL loss in productivity. Factories are shut down as well as if they had been blown but by the Luftwaffe only they are shut down as they can't get a lone to pay for the raw materials they need.

You're very mislead. The houses weren't necessarily worth less than they were selling them for. And the housing bubble is really the very tip of an iceburg.

@Treblaine

***** "Houses are worth as much as they're sold for. Always." Well DUH, in a self-fulfilling definition loop of defining a term like worth right back as "the price it sells for". But the whole point of a bubble is that worth can be completely out of touch with reality. The problem with using wealth so broadly is it becomes impossibly to really talk about if houses are arbitrarily far too costly to afford than they really could be. It's fine to have these games of SUCH arbitrary value for luxuries like art, or for financial instruments like currency. But we are talking about people's fucking homes here. People are either ending up homeless or forced to fritter away their wealth on renting their home. I think it is YOU who is playing dumb to economics, as if a very well funded and connected buy-to-rent company is the same sort of buyer as a cautious first time buyer who banks are reluctant to give any substantial mortgage to. They are NOT going to have the same spending power OR possibly buy as hastilly. It gets rather tedious when homes are built that they know local skilled workers can afford only to find EVERY SINGLE LOT bought up to be rented out! And the rents are as high or worse than any mortgage payments. It's completely out of touch the idea that people going at their own pace will buy up these houses before. The result is people pay as much or more but for a home they don't own, will NEVER own and are just paying their landlord's mortgage plus extra on top. My parents did this, they got VERY rich off it and honestly they say they felt it was the worst thing they've ever done. They had just economically screwed dozens of other people.

They were worth less, their value was inflated artificially by people given loans they could never repay.

Houses are worth as much as somebody can pay for! The problem was that people couldn't really pay for them, and so the prices were inflated beyond what the market could manage.

When you realise that David Mitchell actually used this concept on that Mitchell and Webb Look too 😂

Hear, hear. Had to look this few times cause that's just so bang on. If anyone below tries to says it ain't so, that the numbers are something... Well, bring me the goods.. There is already more money in the market that there are goods on earth. By multiples.. We got enough money to buy three moons but not enough for feeding the poor. Tell me again, are those numbers real or not cause for sure, they are not appearing on reality. 99,9% of them just gets transferred to another account. Money has value only if it is used. If one can delete a bunch of code without anyone hurting, that's not a real currency.

We need David Mitchell to weigh in on the 2016 elections. (My side of the Pond, in case you're confused)

Hey what season/episode was this on?

yaas comrade david mitchell has achieved class conciousness

which episode is this?

that was pretty genius

Where can I watch this show?

It really is scary. Most of our money is digital, or what David said numbers on a computer screen. There isn't as much physical money around.

Click on 'CC' along the bottom then click 'transcribe audio' :)

What year was this you are talking about?

David on a rant is a fine site to see

@simon199418 he says 'blight' it's something that impairs or destroys or deteriorates living conditions.

And thats numberwang!

lol @ Frankie, David should be on Newsnight!

david mitchell is a legend

@dubdesignnet It is my favorite thing EVER. And weirdly, it gets what Frankie says right more than the rest of them.

@MrCommentz "Any person capable of getting to power should on no occasion be allowed to hold power"

@wimscheers Brilliantly done my friend ;D x]

Ahahahahahaha, I seriously first went "but isn't Mock The Week like that?" before I got it!

Reading that made me push my glasses up, damn you.

@MikeGasm I can't I'm busy this week.

@dubdesignnet But also! Experimental indeed!

David Mitchell, Frankie Boyle, and Hugh Dennis go really well together.

You should only care what people FEEL, not what actual sounds they make to express those feelings. It's perfectly easy for two people to use the same word to mean very different things. However, once you've realized it's what people feel that matters, you have to realize you can't start telling people what they are or aren't allowed to feel.

Yup, that's the financial industry. The catch is that when the numbers are good some people get a bunch of free money, so they have to scramble to fob off the bad numbers onto somebody like the taxpayer so the system all balances out,

People like David Mitchell need to be the ones in charge.

keep telling like it is david... we believe in you

You rarely hear someone describe the monetary system in a better way.

Unless I can hold it in my hand - it's not real and I subsequently don't give a shit about it

I kinda had a similar thought before, but if we lived in the same mindset as people used to live hundreds of years ago when goods were traded for other goods, how would we regulate how much is needed for a fair exchange for another type of good? Would we need to have a huge charter of how much is needed of one thing to get another? In some situations it would be physically impossible to buy things because carrying around goods is just inconvenient.

true

what show is this from??

omfg so true

It's awesome that Mitchell doesn't even pause. But I bet he was thinking "Silence Howard! I am on a rant and if you have seen any of my rants before you will know I am not to be interrupted!" or words to that effect.

I agree with frankie!

Well this is pish.

@SvenTviking "buy"

wat season is this in?

Telling it like it is...

True. I still like David Mitchell his explanation better though :)
