I have a theory that the event was a mix of this last sketch and the Hennimore sketch. Hennimore mistakenly sends a binary message with a Russian address to the prime minister, telling him to "Fuck off", the minister "gets a bit fighty", and launches nuclear missiles at Russia who retaliates. During the confusion, Numberwang's Collossi reprograms professor Doom's doom-bots to take over the world.
I would love this, but there is one detail that fucks it. The inebriati instate him as the president of the world, meaning Russia wouldn't exist. Lovely theory though!

Incredible... and I was expecting it! I'll explain. So, I was at Auschwitz in the mid-90s with a friend. As we passed the gate he said, "I wonder if there's a gift shop." I busted his balls, "What, you want a snow globe, a spoon perhaps, a t-shirt that says... (you can guess)?" He protested that he'd meant a book store, or information kiosk or something, . I wouldn't stop harassing him about it... We made a lot of wisecracks that day, accusing each other of insensitivity to our surroundings. It was the dead of winter, and the place was empty. It will ruin your month. I've got a whole 20 minute bit about it. I was a fan of Peep Show but I've only now discovered their sketch shows. They always seem to do skits, sketches, and bits I've written over the years. Usually theirs is better or more fully realized,... and unlike me they actually perform them. I was fully anticipating an Auschwitz Gift Shop bit, because these guys would be the ones to do it, their humor and sensibilities are so in tune with mine... and goddamn it, here it is! My heart sunk. But, mine is funnier! I swear! Now I'm gonna have to get to an open mike and perform it. This is my impetus! AND NAZIS SUCK! And by the way, Auschwitz indeed has books for sale... but no "sidelines", which are non-book items such as erasers and rulers and postcards and such.
that drinking makes men great deal was funny as hell with it being true. wasn't you brits having your navy half drunk most days, now we know why they were fearless.
Possibly, but many people believe the event happens in the news readers sketch ( " everything is fine") where some kind of alien race invades earth. Or maybe all of it is unrelated.
No, "the event" is most likely some sort of pandemic. That's why "they" appear to be mutated humans. Also, it all started bevore M&W look: watch?v=4jJ203Q-lyk
In the “prayer and a pint,” is it always the same song? Also, what did they make him drink in Tehran? I am guessing some sort of non etoh alcohol, ie toxic.
It is true you work much better when you've had a few drinks. However; is it just me? Two drinks has absolutely zero effect on me, let alone gently swaying and 'inebriation'. I need twice that to feel even mildly more chatty and full of energy.
@yaifibar I hope not. The Event sketches are some of my favourites, because they're so dark and disturbing - I'd be a little pissed if the post-apocalyptic hell inhabited by the members of the quiz broadcast was brought about by a drunken twat with a nuke tbh. I like to think the Event was caused by something altogether more sinister...
Actually he is coughing due to having just been given ethanol. The regular prayer and a pint episodes are only similar to those in the Fast Show in that both sketch shows are parodying the same kind of TV shows that you get on local networks. Where programming consists of things that can be filmed for under £50 because the super rich parent network only gives local stations about £500 to last them all year. If you are ever on a Scottish island or trapped in a Welsh valley you'll find lots of shit like that on the local station and all of it looks as though it was filmed in a broom cupboard or a shed or in-situ at a restaurant.
The Inebriati must have been the ones behind 7 11 being a part time job. It all makes sense now.
7/11 is an inside job.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm always reminded of the the Inebriati sketch when I'm drinking, it's perfect.
"The Inebriati" That's damn well brilliant.
Wow, that Inebriati sketch was really good! Thanks for uploading!
Music from The Shining was playing in the back of that slightly drunk sketch, fantastic!
My day is always a bit brighter when something reminds me that the British legal system makes people wear funny wigs.
I wonder if they have critters living in them. Are they ever washed?

My mother would hand wash my father’s wig, every few months.

So this was how the event started. The World President got a bit too pissed.

Did it?

I'm certain that you're still safe within the three-pint limit. A three-pint evening is a fine evening, indeed.
Love this! I don't really think comedy had developed beyond this other than some elements if dark comedy like Inside No. 9 and the zany Spencer Jones.
We've been in the background... gently swaying side to side...

Ever so slightly pissed 😂😂😂
I thought it might be, but then I remembered I'm not supposed to think about the Event.
Considering how this video started, I'd advise David to remain indoors.
The Captain from 'Reports Mode' reminds me of a less hairy Chunky from 'I Think You Should Leave'.
I had one of those scanning doodads for the VCR.
This is perfectly true, you CAB work better after almost 2 drinks.
Nice Inebriati sketch to distract from the REAL secret society which gives all great leaders half a speedball, the Junkienati
yes! After 5:17.. very effective, and of course great music. Thanks for pointing it out.
3:03 one of the funniest sketches in this series
Keep up the uploads ^_^
The Inebriati sketch is a great example of having to lay a lot of pipe to get to its conclusion.
I prefer Ann's Frank's over other grillers.
so was that bit at the end "the event"?

DO NOT THINK OF THE EVENT
The music from Brazil in the reports sketch
I'm afraid i'm not qualified to join the inebriati. 🙁
@yaifibar I thought Hennimore's mix-up with the nuclear bomb was "the event".
@yaifibar
I just knew the inebriati would have a hand in the event.
In the “prayer and a pint,” is it always the same song?
Also, what did they make him drink in Tehran? I am guessing some sort of non etoh alcohol, ie toxic.
Canonically that second drink is what started “the event” (praised be the regulations).
@abluecarrot1 does here to a certain extent but more commonly used as an "eraser".

Well, Hitler, OK, but Stalin was not an abstainer.
Have the Inebriati heard of cannabis?
Oh christ, that coughing. I cant watch.

That laugh track is awful
@Stacy J my problem is with the laugh track not Mitchell and Webb. It makes me so angry that I want to switch off my comp[uitert right now.
@Stacy J i really hope thats a bad attempt of satire, otherwise its really sad to be so tilted about a year old comment
What a pathetic laugh track.
