I suspect nobody will read this, but I like how the parody of weird continental European tv-shows is actually what some British shows look like to us on the continent.
Robert saying "dress" at 7:23 had me gasping for breath due to laughing so hard! Probably the best delivery of that word ever in the history of mankind.
As another southerner, there isn't a "Southern" accent. There are Georgia accents, Texas accents, Louisiana accents, North Carolina accents, etc. Hollywood does even worse with the Arab world, where they have characters from the Gulf speaking in Moroccan dialect which most Arab speakers wouldn't even understand. Probably every Arab speaking country on earth has been shot in Morocco. Look it up.
@@andrew_owens7680 True, but Hollywood tries to only do an old south Georgia accent for the most part. They're still living in the Gone With the Wind days. I'm always pissed off by how bad the fake "southern" accents are. Nothing is better than casting people from those actual areas. It brings so much more to the scene, far more than just the way words are pronounced. IMO directors are fools to let actors, famous or not, attempt accents like that when they have to sell it so well or else the scene's unravel. They hire Brits to do southern accents! Some Brits are damn good, but not that good. I had no idea about the Moroccan stuff. Right now I'm watching a couple shows that are supposed to take place in Colorado and Montana but are filmed in Canada. They're filming more and more stuff in Canada and Georgia these days. They seem to fake locations pretty well, but now with the virus it's even harder to fake anything. Yep, it's a 9 year old post I don't even remember writing and I am still alive!

@Misishaxi continuing where youreoverhere left off: "He thinks this is a trust program. He thinks I'm his friend. he's taking me around the world in a fucking balloon! We never land! Every time I wake up, there's more of these. I think they're needle marks." "Who are you talking to?" "I miss you Rebecca. Tell the kids I love them. If you see this, if anyone sees this, send help. It's not television."
you think rob webb might really be stumped by american accents? he did a pretty good one in "speedo" but he used the word "shag," which americans never use, and here they're both playing southern american racists from croydon.
Iv'e never heard of a British program running in seasons!. Season is the American term. "It CAN be either", but 99% of the time it's series when referring to programs made and broadcast in the UK.
Like the "Southern sketch" but what's so hard about a US Southern accent? Just add a sing-song drawl to everything, broaden the ah sounds, turn the long i into a diphthong, add a trace of w to ou when in the middle of a word and basically keep the British soft r. At least you'd be pretty close and we in the US would at worse maybe think you were from Missouri.
"Stop, I'm killing you" funniest line of the episode.
The small office sketch. Just genius.
The opening clip and things like 'remain indoors' makes me think there two could make a very good horror movie

Flying Fox you were right....I didn’t read this
@@advancelast1740 me neither
read what? which continent?
I was going to read it, but I was afraid. I didn't read any of the other comments, either. Same reason.
Does anyone know what's going on here? I'm not reading any of it
That southern accent was reminiscent of Jude Law's performance, in 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' :)

this makes brilliant sense when you are drunk
damn being from the southern u.s. i was really hoping to hear them do the accents
I thought they did an amazing job! No?
as a southerner I just gotta say, when Webb did that accent, well tried lol, I laughed my ass off. even American actors fuck that up from time to time

They’re playing Brazilian music in the Bavarian sketch 😂
How Bavarian of them!
that lucky woman got to put her head on david mitchells chest...
don't! he's been angling for sex symbol status for years, don't give him what he wants!

This is the first time I've seen the KKK in a comedy sketch :)
You know you're a geologist when you see report 4 and yell at the computer. Waaaaay too much mica.
i'm just a girl, who can't say no. HAHAHAAAAAAA
@Feostru Presumably they just saw the "lulz" as an added bonus.

Well this aged well
Are Mitchell and Webb my generation's successors to Fry and Laurie
We're not doing the accent...
+Baljot Bhatti But them bigots still look like twaayyyuts :D
That’s Welsh lol
I still need a pencil.... And paper... And to smell your hair.....🤣
Lol was that Gabibbo as the captain?
4:30 - 6:14: Oh shit, too much LSD...
I feel like I could make a career there just being able to do various American accents.
Rob Webb is John Malkovich - only funnier.
I can see David's iris!
You're my wife now, Dave :)
I am going to center parks!!
What's the first one with the balloon about?
love the kkk sketch
The KKK sketch was brilliant.

Rob (speedo) also said hu-more which no American says other than that and shag...pretty good
Wasn't the point of that sketch that the show was written by British writers who did no research on America?
By the way, if the opening song is a song and nog just a jingle, can anyone tell me what song it is? Thanks!
A bit late, but ""Alive & Amplified" by The Mooney Suzuk"
@@dnomyarnostaw It's incredibly similar but not the same.
anyone know what the tune is in the reports mode sketch?
Six years late, but it's Tico-Tico no Fubá by Zequinha de Abreu.
Ruined with the canned laughter.
the small office scene is robbed from the three stooges
why do the uploaders of mithcell and webb things always cut out the god damn punchline-.-
Copy right

I'm guessing the game show sketches, overly long-winded and not quite as funny as the other sketches are Robert Webb's creations?
