Which would be great until the inevitable schism. The kindly-claw fundamentalists vs. the New Light faction.
The automatic captions on this are pure gold. 0:27 - in the name of the trauma i ask for for the mandate to pursue the antibiotic
It's as if vectron himself wrote those subtitles!
could THESE be the fabled scrolls from the first age of Vectron?!
thank god for TH-cam so we can watch this over and over again while Mitchell & Webb don't get paid a penny!
This is one of my favourite sketches👌🏼
this sketch always speaks to me because in my family we also enjoy *really* commit to the bit as well, by Vectron's hoary breath.
I was imagining a Lord of the Rings version of this. Just after the Council of Elrond, some elf called Colin speaks up, so they get Saruman on conference call, and realise that they all got "Sauron's Ring" from a chance remark about a dodgy curry 3 weeks earlier.
The Space Above and Beyond remix of sort in the background was a nice touch.
Damn, this just really makes me want to be a part of the vectron cult 😂
Then by Vectron's light you shall be. FOR VECTRON!!!
We've all been there - had an afternoon off work, come back the next day, and they've started a new religion.
By Vectron's ball-hammer that was eye-wateringly funny.
More M+W brilliance.
By Vectrons scary chronometer, 2023 here...14 years and still a joy, By Vectron this never gets old.
Dungeons the Dragoning 40K 7.6th edition makes much more sense now...
They think it's been this way for eternity, but it actually started only 3 weeks ago? This screams SCP.
I was amused when the Big Bad in 'Steamworld Heist' turned out to be 'Vectron'.
Immediately reminded me of this favourite old sketch.
An Excellent Sketch. I thank you kindly and bring Vectron's Golden Smiles upon your mortal soul.
LOVE the robes of state!
Space above and beyond intro music, great now i gotta rewatch that.
0:01 Pre-modernity
0:48 Age of enlightenment
1:49 Modernity
2:40 Post-Modernity
3:29 "God is dead, and we have killed him"
3:46 Returning to pre-modernity
Eras are but the spokes in the perpetually-greased wheels of Vectron.
Now THAT would be an awesome show !!!
May Vectron grant your wish !
And this is a fine example of the danger in looking at things to closely.
