"Instead all he can do is imagine that pint at the end of the session - that cooling, lagery swallow - and that first suck on a Lambert" so crude yet so poetic
A Lambert is a cigerette brand in the UK - Lambert and Butler, but we just say to each other, "G'us a Lambert". Hope this helps you enjoy M&W snooker commentary even more now, the lagery swallow bit is my favourite bit of this very funny take on 70/80s style snooker commentary. 👍😊
They nailed it man , snooker in the 70's and 80's they are frighteningly close. Deffo their best work. Gotta watch at world champs time. Thank you Dave and Rob!
I don't know why these characters are so unpopular, as far as I'm concerned this is some of M+W's absolute best work. Edit - As excited as I am to receive replies to my comments, I'd love to point out to those of you still trying to engage me on this topic that this comment was posted 7 years ago.
We've all been there once we've had a few. Makes sense, too: you're nice and relaxed, you're much more amenable to trying new things, and you don't have to worry about not being able to get a boner. 🤣
I hope you all know that some of these lines were taken from actual snooker commentators talking about Paul Hunter, they would actually say these things and at the time we would laugh and repeat them, “ The lovely Paul Hunter what an Adonis, and his beautiful girlfriend sat watching this marvellous man..........”. And now it’s great to see these two noticed it!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Andrew T Why are people so maudlin over people they have never met, even in reference to a comedy sketch they are thinking of death and mourning. You must have a very miserable life. R.i.p.
Andrew T No I just get sick of people’s false sentiments, was watching Gary Moore guitar clip, astonishing! People’s comments were= r.i.p. Gary. He’s with the Angels now. Life taken too short. This is not the forum for eulogies.
God I miss those dimpled beer mugs, Packets of peanuts and all the other things like this in real pubs. Haven't seen a good pub like that since I was 10.
They're still out there, you just have to know where to look. Also, I have a couple of the dimpled beer mugs at home (and a few Steins haha!). Beer just tastes better out of them for some reason..
the delivery of "oh and thats a bad miss" gets me every time
exactly like Joe Johnson actually says it.
@@kardRatzinger Ted Lowe more likely.
Me too lol
And that's a cracking pot.
It's funny 'cos it's true 😂
(remember the darts players sketch with Mel Smith?) 🤣
"you could put a gold fish in that glass.....and it wouldn't even die!"

Totally mate, my favourite line to quote, it never gets old.
What is a Lambert? Nothing came up in my search for it.

Look at that. You could put a goldfish in that glass. And it wouldn't even die.
As a huge fan of snooker, I can attest that in the old days, players did smoke and drink constantly, and so did the commentary.
Pot black was a riot
They also fudge packers?
@FifteenQs :: Not knowing anything about snooker, I appreciate your comment !
Better days
So did golfers and bowlers. Great athletes then.
Bloody hell... That snooker drinking game at 1:40 is GENIUS.
I'm in awe. 😮
I want to recreate that haha
It's the best thing on TV
.....................eight.
"It's like Christmas, isn't it?"
"It _is_ Christmas."
*"OH SHIT, THE KIDS!!!"*
I used to recreate that joke with my cousins all the time.
David Mitchell’s delivery of each line is impeccable .
These two really do transform when they play these particular characters
Despite watching the sketch numerous times I just noticed the “no smoking” sign in the back
I’ve watch this so many times and I didn’t notice it til I read your comment
"basking in the light of twin suns" is one of my favourite phrases.
They nailed it man , snooker in the 70's and 80's they are frighteningly close. Deffo their best work. Gotta watch at world champs time. Thank you Dave and Rob!
The best characters Mitchell and Webb did.
They must have drunk so much cold tea doing these

Eddie Temple how are they unpopular
Agreed.
110% love the cap off with dog poker
one of the very few sketches from them that I just can't watch. Don't find it funny at all.
I didn't like the snooker skits when I first started watching, but now I enjoy them.
"Peter Ebdon, in particular, looks ridiculous". Brilliant.
David Mitchell is amazing. Can't get enough of him.
Robert Webb is class too. Great double act.
@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi They are good yeah, but they aren't nearly as great as Fish & Chip or Pin & Cushion.
They did a lot of very good stuff but these two characters are up there with the very best of their work
1:39 Best sketch in my opinion.
He has to refill the glass on the black spot XD
"Not a look to be taken lightly especially at around 2am in the morning on the streets of Derby if the media are to be believed..."
I love this humour. Grew up watching snooker in 70s and it was just like this 😂😂😂😂😂
funny how quickly it turns from drunk jokes to homoerotic jokes
We've all been there once we've had a few.

RIP Paul Hunter

liddy paul What a strange thing to get triggered by. Fuck off you judgemental prick

liddy paul guess what. It turns out people can write what they want in the comments section. There are no rules you bellend.
I've got the same exact solid brass nude lady bottle opener that's to the right of the ashtray at 1:44
As an ex-smoker, Mitchell's way of smoking in this character just makes me crave for one cigarette.
don’t.
Delicious smoky cigarettes
The duality of man in can be seen in the other two replies
God I miss those dimpled beer mugs, Packets of peanuts and all the other things like this in real pubs. Haven't seen a good pub like that since I was 10.

@@BiggyJimboI recently bought some dimple glasses and Steins because of this sketch haha
@@St_Rizla Haha they're great, just feels better to drink out of them than a normal glass
"Oh shit the kids!!!" My husband and I say that line ALLLLLLLL the time! XD We still crack up!!! Best sketch ever.
I used to say that line with my cousins!
Made me all melancholy about me dad. He were often away at Xmas. Pissed asleep.
They need to come back and do this show again. It's so much better than the sketch shows we have in the states.
Logan green oh shut up you racist boomer
@@logangreen3616 shut up
At least you get QI which don't in Australia
'And Terry Mc Carthy has gone.....very still...and is that a tear I see in eye of his opponent?'
Damn, I wish this show was still in production. So much funnier than SNL.
Not as funny as Mad TV
@@zapkvr lmao madtv and SNL might have a sketch or two but they are overall terrible
this is pure gold always
So, so funny 😂
(reminds me of the NTNON darts sketch!) 😆
"Another double vodka."
"You could put a goldfish in that glass, and it wouldn't even die..."
"It's like Christmas, isn't it?"
"It *IS* Christmas."
"Aww shit! The kids!"
These two look the most fun you can have after the age of 30
"lagery swallow" most beautiful prose ever:D
"Ah shit! The kids!"
I would suggest that David Mitchell would make a great Penguin in a Batman movie
It would be very creepy to hear the words: "Oh and that's a bad miss..." as the villain steps out of the shadows.
This was the best thing in their sketch shows
When they called Dog poker
He is a friend of mine. He is a sexy, young friend of mine. He is my sexy, young friend.
I love their cozy broadcast booth
Saw them live in 2005. Great sketches
I really love the aesthetic of the background. Don't know why
Takes me back to being a kid and going round an older gens house. They'd have the same colours and decor styles as this - everyone did back then
The only thing missing is that now-vintage Athena poster of a girl in a tennis dress scratching her bum, a perennial '70s British classic
This is seriously the funniest thing I've ever seen
God, I wish American bars used those dimple glasses, they're absolutely fantastic.
They’re called ‘jugs’
@@fenderiffico Oo-er missus!
@@djackmanson You've no idea how hard I laughed at that reference. Thanks for brightening my day.
They’re banned in the U.K. now. All pints have to be safety glasses. Ones that shatter like windscreens.
@@CorvoFG Health and safety won't even let you glass anymore? What is this world coming to?
Love these characters .
Never seen or heard of this show , hilarious 🤣
That guy he cut was basically asking for it.
I love the line "Not a look to be taken lightly, especially on the streets of Derby at 2am in the morning....."
Underrated Mitchell and Webb characters.
I do wonder with the Headband stuff they're doing a subtle homage to Paul Hunter?
''i think i might of over done it with the yeast''
xD
"Eight."
I don't know what it is about these characters but this shit is hilarious/comfy as hell
16 yr old upload and still so good.
At least they don't shout out, "Where's the cue ball going?"
Fucking brilliant. Their best sketch.
06:28 - My homebrew's like that!
They drinking a form of home brewed beer that went horribly wrong, hence the copious amounts of sugar!
Every time the World snooker championship are on I think of these sketches.
The best part was he yelled "AH SHIT" into the microphone haha.
Can we have these two doing commentary now on snooker? Willie Thorne makes me far angrier than snooker should.
"OOOHHH AND THATS A BAD MISS"
fuckin love it
"It is Christmas." "OH SHIT, THE KIDS!"
twin suns. great.
Hehe! I think I pissed myself little bit there :)
That was brilliant.
"Laaate niiiiite dogpoka!"
This vid is about David's love for watching snooker. I heard he liked to watch it somewhere. Oooh and that's a bad miss! My young sexy friend.
ironically nowadays snooker commentary is generally excellent -
I'm sure John Virgo and Dennis Taylor are sitting with a pint and a cig up on the commentary box
A classic !!
Very good, although I was hoping to hear the ultimate snooker commentator soundbyte, "where's the cue ball going???"
They work it into the end of part 3.
I'm assuming Chris Leicester is a reference to Paul Hunter
Or Selby.
ah shit, the kids!
21 people have just had a “bad miss”
It just goes to show, you can't be too careful
It's like Christmas isn't it?
m&w classic
nice
+Mark Hassell It is my Christmas tradition to always come back to this video.
"It is Christmas..."
"Oh shit the kids!!!"
The smoking, drinking and eating.
my favourite characters
"shit the kids"
1:42 Brilliant 😂🙈
You know what this reminds me of? The commentators at Wimbledon when Federer is playing😂
Dude I want that job 😄😄😄😄😄
Oh thats a bad miss 🤣😍
Good quality everytime.
simply superb
lol.. "i might have overdone it with the yeast"
fucking love these guys! haha
And of course, they're in their twenties.
...8!
Crying with laughter so much my sides hurt.
21 people had a bad miss.
5 star comedy all the way
I love this sketch !
Peter Ebdon is still working on that 12 break
Just thinking about these characters cracks me up
I like the way he sunk the black.
fucking hillarious
Look at that. You could put a goldfish in there. And it wouldn't even die.
gagging for a pint now.
8:10 😂
im high and i dont know what they are saying
Oooh that's a bad miss
OH SHIT THE KIDS!
Oh shit! The kids!
1:28
There's just no better way to remember
