I guess it's just the nature of his act that occasionally it will stray into uncomfortable territory. * insert Pagliacci / Rorschach citation here

All this talk of David Mitchell "snapping" is retarded. It's an act. He's playing the same shtick he has always played. Maybe it is a testament to his comedic talent that people genuinely think they are peering through the performance to the tortured soul within.

I don't think David Mitchell has any resentment at doing panel shows, it's just his act. I was more disturbed the fact he was wearing short sleeves.

I don't know, I tuned in to a random WILTY and he didn't seem to be taking some of the digs at being posh so well. Might have just been an off-day, or it looked bad in the edit though.

I am a haggish, middle aged, white woman, but still. His school-teacher persona is awesome.

This is starting to make me think that Peep Show is a documentary about Mitchell and Webb post-graduation, and Mitchell is simply relieving his memories when he watches episodes of it.

Cerv posted:speaking of which, a final series of Peep Show would be nice. before they all get too old to play the parts. I actually like the idea of watching Mark and Jeremy grow into horrible old men together. Maybe it is because I only watched the series from the start a couple of years ago but it really struck me how unique a thing it is to watch the characters develop over a decade. I think they could get a couple of really good series if they showed Mark and Jeremy having their midlife crises. I think Mark is overdue for a complete mental implosion, really.

Lavatein posted:I saw this on the telly once. They showed the audience filling in these papers while Derren was giving instructions over the PA system. I can't remember exactly what he was talking about, but he said something along the lines of "Write down your favorite holiday destination, somewhere you'd like McFly to", and of course people were too busy thinking/writing to notice that he hadn't said "to fly to". Presumably he used loads of other subliminal cues to ensure lots of people had McFly on their minds. Yes and no. He want's you to think that is how he did it, but that is not how he did it. He does this a lot - gives an explanation that seems plausible that makes you think he has super mental powers, but in reality it was normal stage magic. Spoliered in case you don't want a bit of the magic removed. From the Enigma stage show Do you think he is that confident in his "abilities" that he can get a enough people to write McFly, guarantee that a McFly paper is picked such that the whole end sequence of the show revolves around McFly singing a pre recorded moose and goose and apple juice song about everything that has just happened for the whole evening. Every time. I saw it live and then on DVD. Everything related to the Mcfly song played out identically each time (barring the random factor like the people pulled from the audience). No, it doesn't matter what the audience write, the paper given to the audience member will always say McFly on it, Derren will "read the mind" of the person to get the other 2 items, then pretend to not know who Mcfly is. As I said I love his stuff, but some of it doesn't hold up very well to logical thinking and is best not watched more than once as that is when the cracks start to appear

Ambassadors was pretty great, but it was pitched as a comedy and was really, really dark for that and Mitchell mentioned it was being retooled as a drama.

Suggest the next game and I will defeat you. Unless you pick something that has someone from made in chelsea on it or i'll be to busy chucking the tv out of the window.

I really love the concept of the challenges, it feels like a sort of hosed-up horror movie Crystal Maze mashup, but then you just get to see a guy sprinting from some dogs 3 times an episode. If they had a few different events to stop it being so repetitive it'd be better, make it more of an obstacle course rather than just a straight-up run.

"despite what certain national newspapers might have said, series 2 is not the last series of Spaced. There will be a third series of Spaced - we just don't know when." but yeah, it does wrap up pretty well so it's not like we've been left with unresolved cliffhanger
