to be fair i think the lack of laughter is because the sound is mostly being recorded on the stage/their microphone things, so they're not picking up much of the audience's laughter.
I saw David and Robert live in November last year. The performance then was amazing...the snooker table costume is brilliant. And is occupied by Webb's real-life wife!
A long pot is a potting shot from long range - a snooker table is 12ft long so it's a difficult skill and you are quite likely to leave your opponent in a good position if you miss. A big pink would be an attempt at potting the pink ball (6 points) that would have a meaningful affect on the frame being played. The snooker table has raised edges called cush[ions].
@wiregreyhounds that's not actually Chris De Burgh lol i'm pretty sure that's James Bachman who is another of the cast members on That Mitchell and Webb Look
In my opinion the comedy is derived from the song being about something as inherently boring as snooker I know I'm saying this 12 years after your comment, but still.
Keep on keeping on Mark. Cheer the fuck up.
This extended version is even better than the original.
Fantastic stuff.
I grew up listening the radio show on CD and it had this same sketch. Until now the secret snooker words to lady in red were a secret.

Possibly my favourite comedy skit of all time, even better extended

Wow, I had no idea this existed! Thanks for sharing.
Never seen so many players tremble as they contemplate you, chalking til their tips turn blue :)
Only in his sleep, Peter. Only in his sleep.
That backing track tho. Mein Gott, it's beautiful

"You were... a table." XDD But I'm sad they left out the sign off: "This one's for you, Mark. Keep on keeping on... God bless, and cheer the fuck up."
Just in case it's been bugging you for 4 years...
I've never seen you looking so oblong as you do tonight, I've never seen your angles so right, you were a table.
This is so stupid I love it.
Me and You Versus the World by Space
fretjam great under rated band great song
Oh my god David's bald cap thing is so terrible it's brilliant.

But where's the cue ball gone??!
The pack of reds is upside down on the table
Done purposely in reference to bikini bottoms
@@Agman.P ahh what is bikini bottoms?
What's with this crowd? Barely a giggle out of them.
oh dear..James Bachman..didn't know you had it in you. *.*
Is this song avaliable on CD or something?
LOL, this is crazy, but hilarious!
@TimLake The title is " me and you VS the world" :)
@TimLake That would be "You and me vs world now"
Two years late but Space are great.
That's a song by Space...though I can't remember what it's called. They also did "Female of the Species".
david's wig was put on in a hurry!
Are they on stilts or something? they look unnaturally tall...
hahaha
what was that ferrari885? Can you write in English?
not very funny. Lots of people laughing (a little bit) politely.
Ho ho. A comic song. Could be Hale & Pace or Little & Large.

Shame I'm 14 years late because I would have loved to had been in that crowd
I didn’t know I had come to the comments for this one, until I read it
Helo
I've never seen so many men ask if you fancied a game, looking for a quiet few frames.
"Do you even know the rules?" XD
The best part is Chris de Burgh getting no applause when he walks out.
I in fact HAVE seen so many players wondering if the long pot is on.
hahah,david drinking all of the beer at 5:45
Bill Bailey must love this!
It's no Teen Spirit...
One of my favourite comedy sketches
Cush to cush...
I love this song, but have no clue about snooker. What is a long pot? And what is a big pink? And cush to cush??
lyadmilo cush = cushion
A billion times better than the original! 😂
Thank you!
