As the son of a mortician, I knew from an early age that some surgeons do a less-than-thorough job of cleaning up the work place, leaving sponges, sutchers (and more) inside their patients. Makes you wonder what ELSE might have slipped their mind.
It's years since I've watched this sketch and it frigging hilarious. I wonder which one wrote it. It seems like a Robert Webb concept with its cruelty aspect but definitely some input from David Mitchell. Even the character of scorn being David and the problematic surgeon being played by Rob makes me think I've got it right. Sort-of like McCartney versus Lennon, or something. Quite different but complimentary styles, or something.
Well some letters are easier to scare than others, O is almost permanently shocked, M on the other hand is usually quite reserved about the whole thing.
As an American, I have no clue whether Perthshire is a real place with its own accent, or if that's a joke making fun of Britain and it's funny town names and countless indistinguishable hyper-local accents.
The historical County of Perth is in Scotland. That grey haired Mitchell has a faint scottish accent. That's as much as I can tell, and English even isn't my first language.
And then we hear about the surgeon Simon Bramhall in the UK who initialled the organs of his patients using an argon beam coagulator whilst carrying out liver transplants. Rather makes this sketch uncomfortably close to the truth.
And then he might just direct his attention towards you and issue you with a stern warning about those superfluous full stops and pointless capital letters. ;)
Jonathan Shin Boyd Rice went into a dealership that sold designer ovens, wearing an SS uniform: "Hi, I'd like to buy an oven. Preferably about this tall." Why can't Joanne Peh do this?
Seriously, These guys are tremendous actors and writers.
Bain and armstrong wrote most of their stuff
Webb does a great repressed laugh
Robert Webb is brilliant in this
well, they are both bafta winners so it says something :)
I prefer the ones where Robert isn’t in it. I think he is shit.
Jeremy became a surgeon, I guess the music thing never took off.
they Jezzed it
I literally just read an article now in the Guardian about a surgeon scoring his initials on a patient’s liver.

the suppressed laughter is pure genius.
The best part of this is when the surgeon has to keep himself from laughing. LOLZ
impressive acting from webb hahaha! its properly believable the way he's hiding his laughter
This sketch is fairly subtle, which definitely makes it one of their best

Brilliant fun! One of their best.
Honestly though, you'd probably have to have the HARDEST nerves to perform a successful operation with a fit of giggles.
That surgeon really Jezzed it
this is one of the best things I have seen
Webb had me laughing to tears
This happens far more often than you think.
Tragic really.
reminds me of that surgeon who scared his initials in peoples livers on the news a few weeks ago
How do you scare your initials? They're just letters.
Well some letters are easier to scare than others, O is almost permanently shocked, M on the other hand is usually quite reserved about the whole thing.
The less said about the tawdry relationship between *Z* and *Y* the better...
They predicted it. Stuff like this actually happened in Birmingham.
Very unusual that the status figure (the surgeon) is played by Webb rather than Mitchell.
Alex Gabriel Webb also played the surgeon in the brain surgeon sketch.
Well, Conway79, it's not rocket science.
Conway79 its not exactly rocket science is it?
That's only because it's unusual for the straight man to have a lower status.
If I turn gay will I get a Victoria Coren?
I laughed hysterically eating breakfast
This is hilarious!
If your a bit paranoid that sketch is a bit scary.
HE'S GOT THE FISH SCREENSAVER
Excellent humorous Perthshire accent there.

Malkatraz ____ It's an R.D.Laing impersonation I think.

And this has come true. A surgeon in the UK leaving things inside people and "signing" breast implants somehow.
It's just a prank, brah!
Nipples aligned vertically.
I am watching this after someone close to me died as a result of wrongdoing.
hilarious! "men's nipples aligned vertically"?!?
My name is Jeremy, and I'm insecure about being mental.
david with a scottish accent
I didn't notice it at first. It is really subtle and sounds really genuine. I mean, to my foreign ears.
The narrator of this sketch?
How many Jeremies does Robert Webb play?
At least one
brasseye vibes
If there was a god, it would make sure that this was made into a feature length documentary
I once gave a patient who came in for minor ear operation full blown gonorrhea. I'm still laughing at the thought of her & her filthy disease.
The Joker dirty bitch.
+Jim
Jim, he's a troll ffs. Don't feed him. He's probably got enough vaping-cigarettes to last him a lifetime.
I give people gonorrhea all the time.
The funny thing is, I'm not a real doctor lmao!
Guess we know why Jez isn't a nurse anymore...
How young is David Mitchell here?😅
david is incredible cute!
He would poke you...........IN THE EYE for not capitalising the d in David & for using incredible as opposed to incredibly! :P
Rob Smith haha
And then he might just direct his attention towards you and issue you with a stern warning about those superfluous full stops and pointless capital letters. ;)
Hilarious!
Could have been worse. At least it wasn't a farting cushion.
"It a prank bro"
When Channers get jobs in medicine.
Not really. This is situation, they were still trying out things.
David's irish accent is quite good
Threadoflength Irish?
Threadoflength ummm......scottish.
A disgrace. Something should be done to stop this.
0:23 Fluttershy squee.. :D
Mitchell's irish accent is perfect omg
I hope this is a joke
@@TheLoneMagpie91 His accent is Scottish, not Irish
who's girl on 2:50?
gavrilo aleksic Not positive, but I think it's Jane Horrocks www.imdb.com/name/nm0001363/
thanks mate
It's actually Susan Earl.
She's also quite good, but not as well known as Horrocks.
Ol' mega squeaker.
This was only not funny for 20 seconds, to which then it became brilliant.
I thought this was hilarious.
I live in Singapore, but your lack of humor is just sick... *repressed laughter* I mean, what sort of person would-
