Gamble was on fire this episode, Larry Dean took to the show like fish to water, genuinely one of the stronger episodes of the show. I hope they use a similar line up more often.
I haven't been watching this show that long. I only started a couple of weeks ago. It's just beautiful to see, it's very entertaining to see how much they're growing
10 minutes in, and this is already one of the best episodes! Larry Dean is giving me some strong Billy Connelly vibes, from his accent to his material to his delivery!
I love watch Mock the week on TH-cam, I live in Australia and my goodness Dara just brightens my day. Actually they are all on Fire! Ed Gamble.. I do enjoy his accent.
When I was describing him to an American friend, I said he's kind of like an Irish Robin Williams. Just in terms of how lightning quick he can be, especially when you see him do crowd work at a show. In fact now I think about it, Dara's not had a special out since 2015, wtf...
And he's tech savvy enough he could probably make those gifs for you himself (the proper way that is, not just running a video clip through a website that plasters some stupid watermark on the end result).
Yeah, I usually find 'leprechaun' jokes lazy and unfunny (and racist), but he did leave himself open for that one with the choice of 'costume'. He was only missing a green hat, beard and a pipe.
@@scipioafricanus5871 I don't know it all - as I didn't really watch MtW years ago when this all must have started but Dara studied science (physics I think) in uni before going into comedy and will often get excited (and teased) about 'Science Things' on MtW. He and Brian Cox co-host Stargazing Live (or did? looks like it might have ended). It started in 2011, so that's likely when these jokes started too.
First time ever seeing Larry deans comedy and I really enjoyed him being on the show to be honest because usually I don’t really enjoy the new comedians that come on the show.
I happened upon Larry's comedy in a facebook video, and hadn't actually seen anything of his in a while until a couple days ago when I saw another episode he was on.
I love the cabbage bit at 4:27 so much, Angela was brilliant there and when Hugh joins in, his delivery is just perfect. And Larry, after that, wrapping it up, just great.
I'll tell you something: all of these Brit panel comedy shows are *heavily* scripted with moments of improv. Or did you think they were so pitch perfect on so many jokes by so many different comedians... or did you just think they are just naturally brilliant on their feet and the show has really really good editors? Hmmm, and what happens during stage rehearsals if it's not scripted?
@@lawjef Wow, you and your mates must all be really boring if you find it genuinely that difficult to believe that a group of people are capable of having a laugh together.
@@lawjef As someone else pointed out, you must be pretty boring if you’ve never had a conversation with your mates like this where your just competing to make each other laugh the most. But anyway who cares if it’s scripted, it’s still funny all the same. Not that I think it is. Tbh I’d probably be more impressed by their acting skills if they’re able to pull all this off than if they just turned out to be funny people. Maybe what you mean by scripted is what we all already know as obvious. In that through the week they probably think up funny jokes related to the current news since they can probably guess what’s going to be talked about.
@@jaymercer4692 Its possible to disagree with somebody without insulting them personally, you know. Even on YT. All British panel shows are scripted to some degree, some more, some less, and they're also edited quite a bit (occasionally comedians and staff talk about "behind the scenes", that's how I know). It's also indirectly obvious because Dara mentions "balance" that they're supposed to maintain. You can bet that balance is written into the script as well. The host's role is more scripted than anyone else's. And sometimes you can see that the panelists have notebooks, so they've clearly prepared some things. What scripting means in this context isn't that it's like a play where each line of dialogue is pre-written, but that there are outlines of what topics will be talked about in-depth and who'll do specific bits. Apparently comedians also have some input into that, if they want to present something in specific. I often recognize bits from the "Wheel of News" section as standard bits from comedians' own routines because I follow a lot of them outside of this show. That section is rarely improvised. I also think they know the subjects of "Scenes We'd Like to See" beforehand, but I have no evidence for that; it just feels that way to me. There is still some improv in there too though, because sometimes there are callbacks to something said earlier in the show. A lot of the banter, especially among the comedians who know each other well, that's spontaneous. Nobody needs to script the needling of Dara, and there are definitely whole runs of jokes that build up naturally, and yes, that's quite like a bunch of mates hanging out together, only with people who specialize in humour, so it's still funny even to outsiders. I like this show exactly as it is; if it weren't scripted and edited at all, there would be some dreadfully awkward times when a panelist doesn't gel (it still happens occasionally, but it's rare). Pure improv is impressive, yes, but it's a special skill, not every comedian is good at it. A really well-written zinger can be just as amazing in its own way.
Oh, he would be great! Has he ever been? Or he would be a bit peculiar in this studio. He hardly appears in comedy shows. He was cute in Travel Man coupla days ago though.
Angela was hitting it, Gamble was in a nice rhythm, Larry Dean was hilarious but that love story of Ed Byrne Dara and Brian Cox... so freaking funny hahaha great cast lineup.
My favourite Picture of the week was 'That is Theresa May, who is the Prime Minister of this country and Boris Johnson, who is the Foriegn Sectary of this country, sitting in chairs. '
Ed Byrne's reaction to Gamble was so hilarious. Never have we seen him get that angry. Gamble's jokes about space and Uranus were unexpected. "Don't you dare! You take that back! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" 😂😂😂
@Love is still the answer the old episodes were not as funny in my opinion it was just mainly Frankie taking control doing all the jokes and was heavily pre planned now it's more natural comedy which I think is hell of alot better
Am I the only one for whom the Stand Up Challenge (almost no matter who might be included) is routinely my least favorite portion of the show? Not that it's objectively bad, but invariably I just like the back and forth discussion at the desk, for both Answer/Question and POTW better.
I generally skip through unless I really like the comedian on (I watched Ed this ep) but completely agree, I wish they’d cut it for a different segment with everyone
@11:15 Larry's opening line in the stand up round "So I was having a wank in Dubai" Met with a round of applause, the only thing missing from the full routine should have been a little quip "I don't normally get a round of applause for doing that..." It's the kind of spontaneity that a more seasoned comic would have reacted with like Ed Gamble did when he took over in the stand up round but I think Larry is great and have been looking online for more of his stuff since seeing MtW.

I'd never seen Larry Dean before but he had me rolling
dam right!
As long as they keep Angela Barnes off.
I honestly find Angela one of the funnier comedians
HOW?
Ed Gamble really has come into his own this year - he seems very at ease and confident.
I haven't been watching this show that long. I only started a couple of weeks ago. It's just beautiful to see, it's very entertaining to see how much they're growing
Best episode in years! Larry was superb, double Ed are always great and Angela is really finding her feet in the show it's great :D
Love a bit of Ed-to-Ed banter
10 minutes in, and this is already one of the best episodes! Larry Dean is giving me some strong Billy Connelly vibes, from his accent to his material to his delivery!
Yeah but Larry won't ever punch his spouse.
Love the diabetic joke at 7:10. As a fellow type-1, we don't get many opportunities to laugh at ourselves. Nice one, Ed.
Mark Dawson-Smith YES
Ed is awesome, even better when it isn't a pun though I love those too.
Maybe you just need to work on developing a type-2 personality.
I love watch Mock the week on TH-cam, I live in Australia and my goodness Dara just brightens my day. Actually they are all on Fire!
Ed Gamble.. I do enjoy his accent.
Stephanie Porteous same in Canada 👍
Your profile picture is hilarious
Dara is the single-most gif-able comedian I've ever seen.
When I was describing him to an American friend, I said he's kind of like an Irish Robin Williams. Just in terms of how lightning quick he can be, especially when you see him do crowd work at a show. In fact now I think about it, Dara's not had a special out since 2015, wtf...
He's going on tour the end of this year, I'm off to see him in Dublin...
And he's tech savvy enough he could probably make those gifs for you himself (the proper way that is, not just running a video clip through a website that plasters some stupid watermark on the end result).
Have you heard of Donald Trump ???
@@kevfromnorwichUKGGKev that's not a comedian, just laughing stock
One of the best ever, very relaxed group
Aye, they pinged off one another brilliantly.
Ed Gamble’s lil giggleshake is absolutely precious
22:08 I haven't seen Ed so upset since that one episode where he couldn't get a joke in during Scenes We'd Like to See a long time ago.
*YOU TAKE THAT BACK*
*YOU TAKE THAT BACK*
Ed always seems a bit upset 😊
The "Does this suit make me invisible?!" episode?
Ha ha, it is my favourite part of the episode
What episode what is it?
Love when the panel interacts, rather than trying to monopolize the show.......great group.
One of the best episodes of Mock The Week for a while.
Ed Byrne is dressed so Irish, he practically has a leprechaun outfit on.
He looks like a cowboy!
Oh de do de do. Leprechaun.
Yeah, I usually find 'leprechaun' jokes lazy and unfunny (and racist), but he did leave himself open for that one with the choice of 'costume'. He was only missing a green hat, beard and a pipe.
Thats not a leprechaun outfit, i should know every one in my house has one
@@jimbobeire And shoes with big feckin' buckles on 'em!
lose it everytime they attack dara with something about brian cox 😭
What the backstory to this?
@@scipioafricanus5871 I don't know it all - as I didn't really watch MtW years ago when this all must have started but Dara studied science (physics I think) in uni before going into comedy and will often get excited (and teased) about 'Science Things' on MtW.
He and Brian Cox co-host Stargazing Live (or did? looks like it might have ended). It started in 2011, so that's likely when these jokes started too.
@@scipioafricanus5871 Uh, no. That's not it Tamashi88. Dara co-hosted a TV show with Brian Cox called 'Stargazing Live'.
This one in particular is fantastic. Ed Byrne getting angry just cracks me up every time🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes when they show Dara talking, it looks like he's an animated Windows XP wallpaper with a blue taskbar at the bottom.
More Keri Godliman. She is brilliant.
She killed it. Love her cynical deadpan delivery.
that Police station joke at the end was amazing!
Is that the fat redhead?
@No One That's Angela Barnes.
CrunchyNutCornflakes. Ah, she's suffering from a severe case of PC.
First time ever seeing Larry deans comedy and I really enjoyed him being on the show to be honest because usually I don’t really enjoy the new comedians that come on the show.
Same
I happened upon Larry's comedy in a facebook video, and hadn't actually seen anything of his in a while until a couple days ago when I saw another episode he was on.
Nice to hear a person say that about an openly gay man's comedy here. They usually call the gay man the token gay man
Look up his performance on Roast Battle .. its even better
Kerry Godliman was brilliant and enjoyed Larry too. Best episode for quite a while
One of my favorite shows. Thanks for letting me watch because I'm in the US, Las Vegas Nevada, and nothing ever happens here.
Aliens?
Mass shootings ?
Ed's usage of Uranus was quality here. 10/10 would watch again
The timing and delivery were perfect XD
Dara really missed a trick by not referring to the group with two Eds as "Ed, Ed and Kerry".
Ready Brexit absolutely killed me. Well done Hugh
The thing I love about this series is I feel like you can see how little Hugh cares anymore it feels like he's just doing whatever he likes anymore
alex davison Chessington World of adventures 😆
Praps Hugh finds the current news to be beyond parody.......
Or his alimony payments are too much for him to be thinking about quitting.
The last joke of the show by Kerry is amazing.
I love this lineup! No weakest link here, as there often is.
I love Larry Dean. I saw him at the fringe in 2017 and it's good to see him up and coming.
So it was you who planted the camera in Dubai!
@@triestelondon he actually did that bit back in 2017 so the hunt is still on
I'm honestly not quite sure how to feel about the notion of Jeb Bush being excited to see a gay man up and coming.
I love the cabbage bit at 4:27 so much, Angela was brilliant there and when Hugh joins in, his delivery is just perfect. And Larry, after that, wrapping it up, just great.
A double-Ed episode is always good but Kerry Godliman absolutely knocked it out the park with her joke about The Bill!
One of, if not THE best episode to date. More like these please !!
The joke at around 4:20 about running out of penicillin doesnt look like it’s a joke anymore. Even just 4 years ago I look back with nostalgia.
This was one of the funniest episodes ever. It’s been such a long time coming.
LARRY DEAN! ♥️!
Thanks for the fast upload, you're the best! Hilarious episode 😂
Love that Larry Dean finally made it on. Too bad he wasn’t in it a whole lot.
Dean looked out of place, but hopefully he'll be back. Gamble was on fire all episode and Godliman had some brilliant Scenes We'd Like to See.
I'll tell you something: it is no accident that Hugh Dennis ALWAYS has the right answers. He's wicked smart!

So Ed Gamble now makes Milton look normal. What a weird world.
I love Milton's shirts! I look forward to see how crazy his hair and shirts are every week
When I was still learning everyone’s names, I referred to him as “Drunk Sixth Doctor”.
Kenneth A - Crashwaggon Music you are very stupid nobody is like Milton the god
@@michaelgardner2242 that's a bit rude but also a bit accurate
I think Larry is my new favorite comedian
22:05 I think we just got another classic Mock the Week moment.
Hey do you know what’s the story about Brian cox and Dara ?
Wow. That was fast! Thank you.
Here for Larry Dean.
He does make me curious. But I reckon Kerry is absolute filth so I'm sticking with her.
@@greyjackal I'm sure he has made many a man feel curious lol
Larry Dean seems pretty cool.
Hope he drops by again.
It's been like 4 episodes since acaster was on and im dying
He's got to be away working on something. There's a big hole in his tour schedule until the end of October too!
@@kassistwisted Taskmaster??
Kass McGann he's doing gigs in North America. Watched him in Toronto last week.
Taskmaster was recorded last november
Tbh we need more Rachel Parris aswell, she was funny last episode...
Love Kerry, so funny, does the show really well
Everybody in sparkling form! Thanks for this one, Ovid!
Why is it so funny to me when Dara acts things out (e.g. the fox getting arrested)?
Ed + Ed combo again!
Love it!
Is it the regular combo every week now?
Feels like it's 3rd or 4th week in a row
All it needs now is an Eddy. Is Izzard available?
Oh, he would be great! Has he ever been?
Or he would be a bit peculiar in this studio.
He hardly appears in comedy shows.
He was cute in Travel Man coupla days ago though.
I think he was on Big Fat Quiz once or twice
He was defo on once, very funny
Completely agree with other commenters this is the best NOTW I've ever seen.
The Corbyn photo, irrespective of the subject, is actually quite a nice image (light and composition).
This is an historic moment in comedy. This is classic. Thank you
Ed Sandwich, Week Two! YAY!
Thank you for uploading these. I wish UK channels would allow USA's peoples who LOVE UK programming to sign up for streaming. So THANK YOU!!!
"What are we going to be talking about after Brexit?" Lol
It's covid 2020- thanks for the laughs. I needed them!
and 2021..................
can someone make a compilation of everytime they mention something about brian cox 😭💀
Dara cracks me up with his blarney he talks- I swear he is going doolally! 😂
Angela was hitting it, Gamble was in a nice rhythm, Larry Dean was hilarious but that love story of Ed Byrne Dara and Brian Cox... so freaking funny hahaha great cast lineup.
Eds hit a dead market, we've all got half a fridge of novorapid, lol
My favourite Picture of the week was
'That is Theresa May, who is the Prime Minister of this country and Boris Johnson, who is the Foriegn Sectary of this country, sitting in chairs. '
Non stop fun - great episode. Thanks for loading
Ed Gamble, Larry Dean and me, in a hotel room, though not in the Arab emirates, having a gay old time .... yabba-dabba-doooooo.
Aw de daw de daw... Leprechaun
The more excited Dara gets, the more incoherent he becomes, and all his words just melt into one long slur.
Are you sure you aren't watching and having one as you watch? I'm having no issues
I love Larry Dean he's amazing
22:03 probably one of the funniest moments of mock the week in recent memory.
Ed Byrne's reaction to Gamble was so hilarious. Never have we seen him get that angry. Gamble's jokes about space and Uranus were unexpected.
"Don't you dare! You take that back! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" 😂😂😂
10:59 Best opening ever.
Seen it before. STILL laughed out loud!
We need a throwback episode with Frankie, Russell, and Andy
and Stuart Francis
Disagree. Frankie yes, but Russell was never funny.
They should do a Comic Relief special with all the originals one day.
@Love is still the answer the old episodes were not as funny in my opinion it was just mainly Frankie taking control doing all the jokes and was heavily pre planned now it's more natural comedy which I think is hell of alot better
Watching old episodes back, Frankie's comedy has not aged well.
Much love to you for the excellent subtitles!
i miss james acaster tho
"How old do I feel with new Actinium Plus?" Brilliant!
Now a south of the border audience can enjoy The brilliant Larry dean
One of the best panels
Is it just me or has the spirit of Frankie possessed Gamble.
At least Ed G is whinging on about HIV or gay sex practices, unlike Frankie Boyle.
Am I the only one for whom the Stand Up Challenge (almost no matter who might be included) is routinely my least favorite portion of the show? Not that it's objectively bad, but invariably I just like the back and forth discussion at the desk, for both Answer/Question and POTW better.
I am the same as well. I tend to skip that section most of the time unless the material is actually good.
Yeah, I really like the banter
I generally skip through unless I really like the comedian on (I watched Ed this ep) but completely agree, I wish they’d cut it for a different segment with everyone
Quite the contrary. As a kiwi, I don't particularly follow British politics or current events, but I love the stand up comedy!
Yeah same
Did Ed Gamble always have several tattoos on his arms? Don't remember seeing them. Great episode in any way!!
Much better show.... gamble could easily hold a half hour show by himself....
Look for his old podcast with Ray peacock if you want more of ed gamble
Little did they know, they'd sign be locked in their home talking about COVID19!
Ed Gamble rocks this time :-D
Angela and Kerry are bloody brilliant, really funny.
Yay. They have a funny scottish guy again.
Larry Dean looks like a scottish version of Lee Nelson.
Nice to see Larry Dean!
As they make their way to the performance area I can only ponder as to why humour and athleticism don't mix...
That’s messed up. 😆
"What will be talking about when we don't talk about Brexit anymore." Well I think we all know the answer to that one now.
What, “surprise! Still brexit.”?
Angela Barnes: We’ll have nothing to talk about after Brexit
January 2021: ...
Ed Byrne is always great. Never fails.
Dara is by far my favorite host. 😘
I just realized that the science guy Brian Cox is a punch line for a lot of jokes on these shows. Love it.
A hell of a lineup 😂
This ep was hilarious
Kerry was on great form tonight 😂
@11:15 Larry's opening line in the stand up round "So I was having a wank in Dubai"
Met with a round of applause, the only thing missing from the full routine should have been a little quip "I don't normally get a round of applause for doing that..."
It's the kind of spontaneity that a more seasoned comic would have reacted with like Ed Gamble did when he took over in the stand up round but I think Larry is great and have been looking online for more of his stuff since seeing MtW.
I appreciate the captions!
Larry Dean is such a quintessential comedian name.
One of the best episodes ever! Larry Dean is just brilliant..14 bullet wounds to the head.. classic suicide! 🤣🤣🤣
How do you sign up for government by Magic 8-Ball? Asking for the US.
this is the best ep i have seen of this show great line up
Angela was hilarious. Loved her cabbage remark!
This show is great, I love it.
Love both Eds ^_^
