I'm British, and of an age where I should remember this period very well, and while I know a lot of the references, there are still a lot I had to look up too! If that makes you feel any better. I did think as I was watching this it was a real blast from the past, really old shows and TV stars that haven't been around in donkeys years, and that anyone from outside the UK would just be lost!
@David Davesby uhh sorry dave but i think you'll find david says "idear" quite a few times. i know it can be hard being braindead but try to keep up will ya? there's a good lad.
I don’t know why I’ve never seen bruiser or heard of it as far as I know. I’ve heard of everyone in the show and seen most of the other stuff they’ve done. Subbed tho as you have a lot of vids and they’re hilarious. Thank you.
Cellidor It's funny but I couldn't tell you why. It's ridiculously funny. This isn't real life. It's a parody version of Hollywood producers. (usually absurd but this is more Mary Tyler Moore Show version than reality.)
So, in Oddie's Shar's Body Woddy Woddy: • Bill Oddie • Shawaddywaddy • The Body's drinking Body of the Shar of Iran • and two crazy bank note puppets called “Waddy” and “Woddy” …do what? (Prepare for spelling corrections)
"That's the worst idear since an idear James Garner told me at a party, and that was really sloppily thought through." makes me laugh harder than it should!
The punny show names & descriptions gag is similar to that in BoJack Horseman, minus the tongue twisters. I don't suppose that the creators of the latter would be aware of "Bruiser", so there's either a common influence I'm not aware of or (more likely) it's just comedic coincidence.
I wonder who modeled for the pin-press-thingy behind the suspended balls/beside the small drawers on the desk... Love those small details they put in for the well eyed viewers XD ( 4:38)
I knew there was a 'rumour' (some people told me vehemently it WAS NOT TRUE) that they were dating - but it wasn't until your comment that I decided to look that up. Announced in the Times last month. WHY AM I SUCH A BAD FAN THAT I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THIS ENGAGEMENT? AAARGH.

Not to be one of those people always droning on about Brits doing American accents (or vice versa)... But I find it slightly endearing how Mitchell saying "idea" at the beginning sounds more like "ideaR" that it would if he were speaking normally. A dead giveaway and very English indeed. :)
strawberryiguana It's also a NY accent. I heard it a lot growing up. I've corrected it at holiday meals... nypost.com/2010/02/06/why-the-classic-noo-yawk-accent-is-fading-away/
What a great depiction of sleep deprivation
didnt think of that but fuck youre right
I’ve made it a tradition to watch this whenever I’m sleep deprived
It’s the closest an English speaker can get to not understanding English
Damn perfect time to happen upon this video, I’m pretty sleep deprived right now!
"Titchmarsh has broken out of rehab and is on way here in a GIANT taxi!" LOL WHAT?! XD
I’m watching this twenty years after it aired, in New Zealand, it’s so hilariously exhausting having to look up all the things referenced

As an American, I have absolutely no idea what any of these sketches mean
If cocaine was a sketch
*Bojack Horseman really needs to give this some writing credits.*
"It wasn't meant to be funny, but it came out kind of surreal."
Love that they mentioned 'Alan Coren' in this! Little did David know, that he'd be marrying his daughter 12 years later! :)
"A Titch in Rhyme, Saves Mime" - perfect world salad
"Damn they went for Connery" is one of my favourite lines in any show ever.
"This might be one for Roger Slippers." hahaha
Mitchell can’t have known at the time that he and Webb had written the name of his future father-in-law into that first sketch.
Dave does a brilliant Rich Fulcher impression.
Is this what's goin on in Princess Carolyn's head most of the time?
I love how David Mitchell says idea like "idear"
"I love your idear, but I can't make it. Your idear STINKS!" rofl
@David Davesby uhh sorry dave but i think you'll find david says "idear" quite a few times. i know it can be hard being braindead but try to keep up will ya? there's a good lad.

The only girl I dont recognise is the one from the bbc bitesize sketches.
"Margaret, I need a new Hate Golf. And don't tell me you don't know what I mean!"
Everyone involved in this show was a genius!
can look at this compilation all day, along with the snooker compilation from mitchel/webb look !
I...I don't....I don't understand anything happening here. Is this real life?
Cellidor It's funny but I couldn't tell you why. It's ridiculously funny. This isn't real life. It's a parody version of Hollywood producers. (usually absurd but this is more Mary Tyler Moore Show version than reality.)
Or is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide...
@@JasperJanssen No escape from reality.
So, in Oddie's Shar's Body Woddy Woddy:
• Bill Oddie
• Shawaddywaddy
• The Body's drinking Body of the Shar of Iran
• and two crazy bank note puppets called “Waddy” and “Woddy”
…do what?
(Prepare for spelling corrections)
...
It's a quiz...
Pat Riesterer my DICK ITS A QUIZ! ITS A PEOPLE SHOW! I LOVE IT!
And the band was Shawaddywaddy
Its spelt Shah
@@celebalert5616 I was prepared for the corrections. But, thank you nonetheless.
always loved these sketches, " wheres the love interest ? ", brilliant !
Oddie's Shah's Body Waddie Waddie is something I'd watch ngl
I keep thinking of Alan Partridge's lunch with the director of the BBC while watching this.
Does Alan Titchmarsh even know sign language?
No, but neither do the blind kids, they won't be able to tell the difference.
Hang on...were they upside down frying pans painted green with a little golfer bloke on them?
Yep! :-D

Interesting. I initially felt like it reminded me of something but couldn't place it. I see it
*including the tongue twisters
Tell you what, the 'Bruiser' series was quite funny. A shame that no more came about.
"idear" -- a bad American accent but I love the sketch :)
+Kirthi Rao I've noticed that a very vague 'r' sneaks itself into the end of some British English words at times. Idear, the lawr, etc.
+Enthused Norseman It doesn't, it was part of the joke
+444animation No he's right! It's part of the English linguistics.
Kirthi Rao I'm from england. Bad accents that americans make do that :)
Kirthi Rao Do you know if there's any term for it? I've never seen it mentioned specifically anywhere. :)
I love the horrible American accents lol, makes it better
"Idear"
This reminds me so much of the Monty Python "Splunge!" insane film producer skit. In a good way.
I wonder who modeled for the pin-press-thingy behind the suspended balls/beside the small drawers on the desk... Love those small details they put in for the well eyed viewers XD ( 4:38)
I always thought it was a big middle finger.
alan titchmarsh has always given me the creeps
So this is how they made televison
Before everything was a remake?
Malcolm Marshall died the year before this was broadcast... :(
"Shut..your..arse""..I..nearly..choked..on..my..tea.
Titchmarsh sounds like he's voiced by Paul Putner
With you all the way Strawberriguana, and I loved the doctor who reference about the in side out Mardis.
His love/hate scale goes the wrong way.
“What’s the Titchmarsh angle?!”
5:06 awesomeness ensues
Always cute when they try American accents
Well that's Numberwang!
Phone rings. Picks up. Dials.
after a HARD day's birdwatching
I don't think he really had Alan's best interests in mind.

I’m not sure if David is meant to be American or from the West Country.
I can't find a Bruiser playlist on your channel :(
Thanks for uploading all this so well, you're awesome :D
Ah, the Karl Pilkington method of inventing game shows.
I'm crying, that ending :'''D
80% sure the guy in the chair is Ricky Gervais
This shit's fucking hilarious
David Mitchell should've played Bob Fossel in Mighty boosh
Surreal
I don't get any of it but I can tell it's funny
I love their american accents 😂
I like bruiser but sketches are spaced out for a reason

Wow. All I can say.

I was just looking for this comment and it was me.. I made it two years ago. Maybe I'm the only XFM fan. Oh well.. good comment me. Have a like.
Mitchell..giving..me..massive..Trump..vibes..here.
I actually like "Wank and File" ~ that had promise. 😊
idear
idk who Alan Titchmarsh is
is this a british joke or am i to young/old for this joke?
He's a gardener and a British TV personal. I'm assuming you're from the US so that may be the reason you might not heard of him
LMAO did they paint his teeth white to make him look more american haha
WheneverIpressthespacebaronmymagickeyboardIdie!!!!
Conway79 whenever I type stuff inside double parentheses it becomes completely invisible ((do it))
:-)
Is he doing an American accent? Nothing like it lol
I'm really tired right now and these guys may as well not even be speaking English
69th comment noice
And this is why British people have no right to make fun of American actors' attempts at British accents.
This is a comedy sketch.
@@W.M.Pitt1 ...Yes. Featuring David Mitchell's awful American accent.
@@PenneySounds This obviously isn't a serious attempt at an American accent, he's purposefully doing a bad accent because it's funny.
@@W.M.Pitt1 ...No, he's playing an American character
@@PenneySounds ....Yes, in a comedy sketch.
No disrespect but this is v poor
This one was probably the weakest of the series.
I think it’s one of the funniest
