I really find it kind of hilarious that he's just like "nah". "Not even for the paycheck you'll keep giving me anyway." His line at the end was gold, though. Just like "thanks for coming!" and that's all you get.
4:24 Charlie says "I'm like a frightened horse on a frozen lake." In San Junipero, when the blonde chick leaves the dance floor, her friend meets her outside and says "You were like a frightened horse on a frozen lake back there." Nice job stealing from yourself. I'm onto you, Charlie Brooker.
I think he used it in one of his Screen Burn columns for the guardian as well -- plenty of stuff that would later become episodes of Black Mirror, including the Pig Thing, are in those columns
After re-watching this for the umpteenth time, I've realised just how often Charlie is leaning towards David, or has his body angled towards him. Also there's a lovely bit where they keep eye contact for a good 20 seconds.
1:57 is really a bit painful to hear when you think about this being the year where David was still heartbroken over Victoria and basically unhappy about everything. :/
Shows what a great comedian he is. He took his heartbreak and spun it into comedy. I'm still amazed by how many people watch and comment on this video. Personally, it's still my favorite BFQOTY. Plus, if you need cheering up, there's always the You Have Been Watching episode in which Andy Nyman plays third-wheel to Victoria and David flirting with each other.
SkagWinesack Yeah he is a fantastic comedian - but I'm oh so happy that he found love as well as success now. :) And thank you so much for that tip, I haven't seen that yet and it sounds hilarious! I shall google it straightaway! :D
***** Victoria Coren (-Mitchell) is now his wife, but when they met and he first fell in love with her and they started dating, she shot him down shortly after because it just didn't work for her at the time. He spent the next three years still desperately in love and unhappy, even hating his career for going so well because he rather wanted Victoria and then she even dated someone else for a while... But then they started dating again and married and now they have a daughter and they are wonderful and basically were made for each other. ^_ ^
WHAT!! Finally know who Charlie Brooker reminds me of, the bad guy from Monsters Inc, We need Brooker, Mitchell and Ayeoade together on a show, especially if it was You Have Been Watching, back for a special
I feel your pain, Mr Mitchell. I was dragged onto a dance floor dozens of times at my friend's 18th party because I was too polite to say no most of the time :/ And the few times I did say no, I was badgered into it. Hate dancing
So I finally sat down to read some of these comments. I'm glad to see most people are just enjoying the Brooker/Mitchell banter (I'd love to see Brooker do another one.) That's why I made this video; I only ever wanted to skip to those parts. As for Russell Brand, I stand by my opinion that those brief moments were amusing (He's only ever amusing at best.) At least this was before he anointed himself as a "revolutionary." Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting. Naturally, I claim no ownership of any of this in case Channel 4 is watching.
"A frightened horse on a frozen lake". That's a good way of putting it. I know where they're coming from. I don't understand why some people just don't get that not everyone enjoys dancing in public, or at all.
He's an amusing foil for Noel Fielding. Pairing him with Jonathan Ross wasn't the greatest idea IMO. It was just to be indignant about the Andrew Sachs thing. Ross, too, can be pretty funny provided that he's with the right people. I've enjoyed him a lot more on recent Big Fat Quizzes.
If someone could combine David and Charlie into a single sarcastic, witty, dead pan, satirical, insightful genius I'd be quite happy to make the result Emperor of The Universe.
It is very considerate to put a Russell Brand warning in the description. Every video should have one, a bit like warnings on food about nut allergies.
I only just saw this. Can't remember when I adjusted the warning to timestamp the Brand clip, whether or not you had already commented. I can only apologize haha. Maybe If I ever do one of these again, I'll put a giant black square over his body.
Not that he was some comedic genius on this, but I thought Russel Brand was supposed to be the worst person since Hitler. His comment about the rat was actually kind of funny. I could see how watching him for 90 minutes might rattle your sanity, but if you're that bad at picking movies, or just unable to walk away, who's the real fuckin' idiot here?
What's infantile is how often some asshat like you comes into the comments to degrade one of the show's guests instead of just enjoying the fucking content like the good little turd you are. Stop finding a reason to hate everyone who has done nothing to you.
Absolutely hate dancing. I understand at a party people usually dance, drink and talk to other people but it's not a necessity. When I'm at a party I won't force people to drink and have conversations if they don't want to so why is it ok to try make me dance? Ugh, people..
Brooker and Mitchell are nothing short of gods. would love to see them to team up again at the end of this year, and bring back richard ayoade for it as well
David: We initially went with 'Santa Claws', different pun but still- Charlie: Slightly better. David: Yes, slightly better. Charlie: Mm. That is a wonderful exchange!
At the time when I uploaded this, I didn't hate Russell Brand at all. I wasn't a huge fan but he could be sporadically funny, especially with Noel Fielding around to pick up the slack. And I still think his joke about the VMAs is funny. But that was before he decided to pose as an anti-establishment "revolutionary" who probably did more harm than good in the long run. He should've stuck to being the ex-junkie louche whose biggest claim to fame was leaving uncouth voicemails on the late Andrew Sachs' answering machine.
The majority of the questions on this quiz were covered by Charlie in screenwipe and and in his column so he was just able to riff on how shit television was and it was fantastic 😂
@davidmichael07 Well, of course they are. But I still think Russell Brand is funny sometimes, which is why I've given him some space on this video. He's not nearly as bad as people make him out to be.
So I had this video playing in the background and while they were talking about the rat-eating plant, I happened to log into Facebook and the most recent post from I Fucking Love Science was about rat-eating pitcher plant (Nepenthes attenboroughii).
Best team ever on this show. On the scale of teams there are at the top David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker, right at the bottom are David Walliams and Miranda Hart.
There were 399 comments on this video when I saw this so I felt the need to comment just so it would be a round 400. I like to think that David and Charlie would both apprrciate the sentiment.
That bit about putting shit music on at the "end" of a party doesn't always work. I remember being so pissed that I had some cool moves left in me even when the hostess insisted on playing "Ave Maria" sung by some nun. It was an emotional moment and we shared in the joy. I am the sort of person who likes Schubert and Bach, even at parties.
Mitchell can't fool me. I've seen the intro to his short-lived TV series 'Bruiser'. He danced around in that, so he has danced, and he can dance again.
There's something quietly heroic about David Mitchell's refusal to dance.
Kinch Kinski Refusal not to goose-step. Same mechanism. The once-maligned know stupid groupthink.
I really respect David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker not given into the peer pressure to dance.
MikeMJPMUNCH I was slightly miffed that Charlie kind of joined in and pushed David a bit at the beginning, but I kind of get it too
coffeebean no Charlie did not join in at all
Yeh, peer pressure is terrible on TV.
I hate people that try and make me dance at parties. I just want to drink at the bar, i dont need random people stomping on my feet.
I really find it kind of hilarious that he's just like "nah".
"Not even for the paycheck you'll keep giving me anyway."
His line at the end was gold, though. Just like "thanks for coming!" and that's all you get.
4:24 Charlie says "I'm like a frightened horse on a frozen lake."
In San Junipero, when the blonde chick leaves the dance floor, her friend meets her outside and says "You were like a frightened horse on a frozen lake back there."
Nice job stealing from yourself. I'm onto you, Charlie Brooker.
MattInTaiwan Haha I caught that too. I wonder it’s a legit excuse he’s made to get out of dancing.
I think he used it in one of his Screen Burn columns for the guardian as well -- plenty of stuff that would later become episodes of Black Mirror, including the Pig Thing, are in those columns
After re-watching this for the umpteenth time, I've realised just how often Charlie is leaning towards David, or has his body angled towards him. Also there's a lovely bit where they keep eye contact for a good 20 seconds.
The amount of times I've re-watched this is just sad.
3:34 I'm not Russell's biggest fan, but I do admire that look of sympathy he gives in David's direction when everyone's pressuring him to dance.
he's shite at dancing too - fuck it. Now i'm a sad youtube commenter.
I didn't catch that until reading your comment. It's kind of amazing see such a human sense of sympathy coming from him
@@jamiemacleod2081 Why? He has a TH-cam channel, he’s one of the most empathetic people there is
1:57 is really a bit painful to hear when you think about this being the year where David was still heartbroken over Victoria and basically unhappy about everything. :/

Yes, I'd like to know that also.
***** Victoria Coren.

I love David and Charlie so much. David killed it at the end.
Thank you for putting these together, David and Charlie were the only reason I walked the quiz that year
WHAT!! Finally know who Charlie Brooker reminds me of, the bad guy from Monsters Inc,
We need Brooker, Mitchell and Ayeoade together on a show, especially if it was You Have Been Watching, back for a special
I love the way David Mitchell says 'Charlie' it's sounds so quaint
I feel your pain, Mr Mitchell. I was dragged onto a dance floor dozens of times at my friend's 18th party because I was too polite to say no most of the time :/ And the few times I did say no, I was badgered into it. Hate dancing
Best description EVER! Thank you!
Frankly I would of been very disappointed and more than a little sad if they had danced.
Rob H I know and I like to dance- I felt they spoke eloquently on the position the non dancer finds himself in.
charlie brooker's hysterical laugh at the end is the BOMB. thanks for uploading! :)
Aww David's little bye at the end was so cute
So I finally sat down to read some of these comments. I'm glad to see most people are just enjoying the Brooker/Mitchell banter (I'd love to see Brooker do another one.) That's why I made this video; I only ever wanted to skip to those parts. As for Russell Brand, I stand by my opinion that those brief moments were amusing (He's only ever amusing at best.)

You wish you were half as funny as Russell Brand
"I'm not sorry, it's stopped."
Yay!
The description to this video is perfect
2:05 - How I laugh at a guy when I'm obsessed with him.
David Mitchell is my spirit animal.
That was the idea. Thank you!
"A frightened horse on a frozen lake". That's a good way of putting it. I know where they're coming from. I don't understand why some people just don't get that not everyone enjoys dancing in public, or at all.
these guys are brilliant!
With Mitchell's presence, never in a million years would anyone equate Russell Brand with the word 'comedian'.
Arshad Nazran Russell Brand is actually very funny, and was brilliant of these big fat quiz of the years
+Loki said no-one ever
He's an amusing foil for Noel Fielding. Pairing him with Jonathan Ross wasn't the greatest idea IMO. It was just to be indignant about the Andrew Sachs thing. Ross, too, can be pretty funny provided that he's with the right people. I've enjoyed him a lot more on recent Big Fat Quizzes.
Burn The Town Where I Was Born hahahahahahha, best joke I've read
"we went with the funny internet cat, which i think you'll agree is broadly right"
They are a fantastic team.
If someone could combine David and Charlie into a single sarcastic, witty, dead pan, satirical, insightful genius I'd be quite happy to make the result Emperor of The Universe.
"I'm generally OK with a bit of cruelty to animals".
Incredible words from a hilarious man.
I bet he enjoyed that kick from Kurt zouma
The perfect team!!!
Charlie Brooker and David Mitchell sitting next to each other!? Can so much awesome be contained in one place?
I love how you told me exactly how to skip[ Russel Brand. Thank you.
It is very considerate to put a Russell Brand warning in the description. Every video should have one, a bit like warnings on food about nut allergies.
If every video had a Russell Brand warning, how would you be able to tell which videos had Russell Brand in them?
My 2 favorite people
Brooker talking about Bale was one of my favourite parts of that show.
No, it's wonderful! A stunning revelation.
I loved David's imitation of the piano-playing-cat.
That last 5 seconds is just priceless.
"who gives a shit! France, Ireland.. It's all abroad"
Love the bit about the fly :D
Jimmy's laugh gets me every time.
"What the fuck made you think I was gonna do that?!"
I love him. I just love him.
Charlie Brooker, Robert Webb, David Mitchell, Richard Ayoade, Frankie Boyle, Noel Fielding and Jack Whitehall.
These people are comedy.
I would add Dara O'Briain, but otherwise I find this delicious!
Apathy I would subtract whitehall, and replace him with Stewart Lee and Richard Herring.
Devils Advocate I was about to suggest Stewart Lee as well as Jack Dee, but I really wanted to avoid the rhyme.
Apathy I am sorrry did you just add jack Whitehall and comedy in the same sentence I mean seriously?
Apathy replace Robert Webb with Sean Lock and you've nailed it
Your warning was too broad and I still saw bits with Brand in them. I want my money back.
I only just saw this. Can't remember when I adjusted the warning to timestamp the Brand clip, whether or not you had already commented. I can only apologize haha. Maybe If I ever do one of these again, I'll put a giant black square over his body.
"What the FUCK made you think I was gonna do that?"
Claudia's smile makes me happy
Laughed after whatever they said with delight
I love that when everyone chanted "DANCE!" they just sat there and did fuck all. They are my heroes.
Stood still in the middle of the room, holding hands.
He's good when he's got something to work with like on Ponder land.
I love that laugh! It's like a walrus choking.
Brooker and Mitchel are the best the UK has right now. They should work on a show together or just do 10'clock live again
Antiques Roadshow
Not that he was some comedic genius on this, but I thought Russel Brand was supposed to be the worst person since Hitler. His comment about the rat was actually kind of funny.
I could see how watching him for 90 minutes might rattle your sanity, but if you're that bad at picking movies, or just unable to walk away, who's the real fuckin' idiot here?
SV67943 You are.
@HookahMan99 My mistake. I meant Mitchell. Sorry if that wasn't evident ;)
Just look at David Mitchell trying to give meek smiles of consolation to Jonathan Ross's painfully unfunny infantile "jokes". Bless him.
Perfectly put.
Holy fuck r/iamverysmart material right here.
What's infantile is how often some asshat like you comes into the comments to degrade one of the show's guests instead of just enjoying the fucking content like the good little turd you are.
Stop finding a reason to hate everyone who has done nothing to you.
Love David ahahaha
Why is the world not trying to make more shows with these two doing...well, anything?
Mitchell and Brooker would be one hell of a comedy double act. Both miserable as fuck, fantastic
I can't really hear russell but I still sense him shame but still david charlie are brilliant
If you look at their screen, between them they got almost every question in these clips right.
"I am not sorry it stopped" and "WHAT THE FUCK MAKES YOU THINK I AM GOING TO DO THAT!" Are the best bits.
Absolutely hate dancing. I understand at a party people usually dance, drink and talk to other people but it's not a necessity. When I'm at a party I won't force people to drink and have conversations if they don't want to so why is it ok to try make me dance? Ugh, people..
Brooker and Mitchell are nothing short of gods.
would love to see them to team up again at the end of this year, and bring back richard ayoade for it as well
If memory serves me correctly, I don't think Charlie actually said anything until 2:29, about 11 minutes into the show...
“I often rewatch Antiques Roadshow.” I just hope David is unaware that Fiona Bruce nominated ‘people who refuse to dance’ for Room 101.
mitchell & brooker "rant squad" this would be the greatest tv cop show ever
David: We initially went with 'Santa Claws', different pun but still-
Charlie: Slightly better.
David: Yes, slightly better.
Charlie: Mm.
That is a wonderful exchange!
People really hate Russell Brand in the comments.
The majority tend not to like people who speak the truth.
Or they're jealous because he had Katy Perry :/
Or perhaps, by some miracle of the universe, people don't actually find him funny.
If you look at the description, the uploader hates him as well
At the time when I uploaded this, I didn't hate Russell Brand at all. I wasn't a huge fan but he could be sporadically funny, especially with Noel Fielding around to pick up the slack. And I still think his joke about the VMAs is funny. But that was before he decided to pose as an anti-establishment "revolutionary" who probably did more harm than good in the long run. He should've stuck to being the ex-junkie louche whose biggest claim to fame was leaving uncouth voicemails on the late Andrew Sachs' answering machine.
00:30 I must admit I was a little disappointed that David didn't correct Jimmy. I think you'll find it is "Who would be WHOM?"
The majority of the questions on this quiz were covered by Charlie in screenwipe and and in his column so he was just able to riff on how shit television was and it was fantastic 😂
I think Claudia has a lil crush on DM.
Nx Doyle I think everybody has a lil crush on DM.
Dangermouse?
If you're here from the gif, 5:05
David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker as a team remind me of Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets lol
'purrr'chase
@davidmichael07 Well, of course they are. But I still think Russell Brand is funny sometimes, which is why I've given him some space on this video. He's not nearly as bad as people make him out to be.
I think he's at his best on these sort of shows, I'm not a fan of his stand-up at all but on panel shows he's actually pretty funny
I think Jimmy is in love with David.
I'd pay good money to see that.
boy the beard was really a good choice for Mitchell
So I had this video playing in the background and while they were talking about the rat-eating plant, I happened to log into Facebook and the most recent post from I Fucking Love Science was about rat-eating pitcher plant (Nepenthes attenboroughii).
Jimmy Carr's laugh haha
I think this is the 82nd time I've watched this?
He's not the only one who has a crush on David. Not by a long shot...
Is the "15 Million Merrits"-episode from black mirror based on the ending of this episode?
Best team ever on this show. On the scale of teams there are at the top David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker, right at the bottom are David Walliams and Miranda Hart.
Russell looks like he was unplugged.
David Mitchell’s outfit is so unnoteworthy that it’s note worthy
There were 399 comments on this video when I saw this so I felt the need to comment just so it would be a round 400. I like to think that David and Charlie would both apprrciate the sentiment.
Annoyingly despite posting this, the comments total remained at 399. F*** you TH-cam, f*** you, mocking me electronically!!!
I want "Fuck off I'm hired to sit here and be sarcastic!" as a shirt.
3:27 - tmw David realizes these people don't know him at all
Another team name they could have used, is "Punching above our weight"
Alan Car's laugh is a tad mental lol
That bit about putting shit music on at the "end" of a party doesn't always work. I remember being so pissed that I had some cool moves left in me even when the hostess insisted on playing "Ave Maria" sung by some nun. It was an emotional moment and we shared in the joy. I am the sort of person who likes Schubert and Bach, even at parties.
+Siskin's Bits and Bobs you must be a nightmare to get rid of
This is just random snips of people talking with no reference to what they are talking about. Brooker would hate it lol
Mitchell can't fool me. I've seen the intro to his short-lived TV series 'Bruiser'.
He danced around in that, so he has danced, and he can dance again.
@mightlife no worries, i knew what u meant
Is this where he got the name for Black Mirror season 3 episode 2 from?
Playtest? I know that the "frightened horse on a frozen lake" line appears in San Junipero, but I'm not getting the Playtest reference.
SkagWinesack Maybe episode 3, Shut Up and Dance?
Ah yes! Shut Up and Dance, definitely. He went on a similar rant on You Have Been Watching, prompting an amazing response from Reginald D. Hunter.
jimmy carr's laugh
So's Jimmy Carr.
