"That Mitchell and Webb Look" - Series 1-3

[blogslut]

All available for streaming on teh Netflix.

Mitchell and Webb are a British comedy team, familiar to fans of "Peep Show". "That Mitchell and Webb Look" is sketch comedy along the lines of "Fry & Laurie" and "Monty Python's Flying Circus". David Mitchell excels at portraying dour, repressed individuals but has his seriously wacky moments. Robert Webb leans towards the elvish and maniacal, with just a touch of larceny.

Dudes are funny as hell. My favorite bits are the mythical game, "Numberwang" and "The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar" - although some of the best stuff is just the two of them arguing about inane topics like how cheese is made.

Bonus cast member: the enchanting and hilarious, Sarah Hadland.

2. mr. beac has a serious man-crush on David Mitchell.

I'm afraid he might stalk him when he's in London this summer. :rofl:

But seriously, we're both big fans of the British panel show genre and Mitchell is on just about all of them.

He once said he didn't want to survive a nuclear holocaust b/c he figured it would be at least 2,000 years before civilization recovered enough to start pitching panel shows.

His "Dear America" (Could vs. Couldn't Care Less) rant is a classic:

5. You're welcome!

The Soapboxes are good for a quick DM fix when you are jonesing. ;)

Many of the panel shows are up too and we've decided Mitchell places second (behind undisputed champion, James May) in the "Briton Who Wears the Same Thing Over and Over" contest.

His episode of "Who Do You Think You Are" is also available, if you want to go the full-on stalker route. :)

We've seen Season 1, didn't know the others made it on there. I too am a huge fan of "Numberwang!"
