I love the Chekov's Gun joke. Because that is exactly what Chekov's Gun is: introducing a gun meaning someone will get shot. So, for all he is wrong about acting, he gets something spot on... by getting it wrong 🤣
i love how half of these things are completely faked, like the button was actually made of fondant, but sometimes there's no other way than to act something than to genuinely do it
I sit through every minute of this just to watch Dennis say that immortal line "Is it me you're looking for?" Totally worth all the bumps and bruises from all the other mishaps and mashups....brilliant.
Filming for the Nativity Story special was done under very strict Covid rules and restrictions, I am amazed that they managed to get it filmed. They had a socially distanced reduced studio audience of around 75 people supplemented with a virtual audience watching.
@@norishimogawa6125 Probably what they refer to as “Noodle Incident”, it’s when they refer to something that’s never actually happened in the franchise’s canon but just mentioned, like all those Family Guy cutaways
@@lukacunningham342cutaways are actually somewhat the opposite of a noodle incident because iirc a key part of noodle incident is that it’s never actually explained what the noodle incident was leaving it to the audience’s imagination.
If you watch the Lodge episode, there’s a part where Chris is supposed to hit Robert’s character but Robert keeps goading chris to hit him harder cause he’s too weak, prompting chris to slap him, so Robert backhands Chris and knocks him out and freaks out “that was too much...he got me” it’s hilarious.
I'm directing a "Goes Wrong" type of show and, while I already had immense respect for these guys, it has increased tenfold trying to do crazy things with my actors and have things go wrong safely and in a specific way. It's so ridiculously hard.
@@silverbrumbyfanmy favorite bit in the midst of that is Chris rightfully pointing out that if there is a fire alarm, you don't take the time to gather your things or get changed you're just supposed to leave immediately
In 90 Degrees I wonder how the cast manage to perform in this scene with one set made at a 90 degree angle on its side, and the other scene made upside down without any nose bleeds.
from what the actors said about the scene, it was actually kind of complicated. They were only allowed to film for like one minute at a time so that they could be safe, and they had to take blood pressure tests and such to make sure they were okay. They also had to make all of the normal safety precautions and the medical precautions
Oh. My. God. I have no idea what I just watched but I almost died of laughter! 🤣 Never heard of this show (?) as I am not British but I totally looove it! I want moore!
The group who perform it are the mains from Mischief Comedy! Definitely check them out! They have loads of shows currently in the West End, on UK tour and had some on Broadway (not sure about at the moment). So they do large shows not just tv. They also do improvs.

I was a musical that my theatre class was doing and in the middle of the first song, the fire alarm went off because of the smoke machine. Everyone on stage at that point gave a few looks to the director but they were told to cary on but just be louder
This is an amazing series. There are two series of about six programmes each. They show up on PBS from the US, watch when possible. They are about five years old.
It really helps to see it in context, especially when each episode has its own particular set up and running gags. Also, over the course of the season, you can see some development of the relationships. For a while, all the episodes were on Amazon Prime for free. Right now, you can watch for free if you get the Broadway HD trial. Or you can spend $9.99 to see the entire season 1.
I would make this video but it would just be the entire first season christmas episode. Loved it so much that I screenrecorded it the day that it was set to be taken off of BBC iPlayer and now I have it saved on a USB drive for when I feel sad.
The more I study Dennis the more obvious it becomes that he truly hasn’t got the faintest idea what theatre even is. I really wonder what he thinks they’re all trying to do.
3:45 has anyone (OU?) done a cut of all these moments from their various works (going back to The Play); when some noise in the background ("unplanned" of course) has to be shouted and (I think) mostly sung over… and in the middle of the dialogue/song the noise cuts out and they go back to normal?
I made the mistake of introducing most of my family through The Nativity, which is probably the weakest episode of the show. Luckily, I introduced Dad through 90 Degrees and we watched them in a different order, so he really liked it.
Clearly I've missed something cuz all the nativity bits were new to me! Some other sketches as wel.. *goes hunting* Love these people so much! Can't wait to see The Play That Goes Wrong on Tuesday, even if with another cast!
Man I would totally love for them to do gone wrong the movie sure there was peter pan goes wrong and the christmas carol goes wrong but I mean like an actual motion picture film
The skill it takes to deliberately act badly whilst acting the part of an actor who is genuinely trying to do a good job, I adore Mischief Theatre!
Their attempts to react naturally to these mistakes are really bad though 😆
It's all acting regardless.
@@jacobmassey3897 Are you watching the same video as the rest of us?!
I mean to give Dennis credit, “Toothpaste, 1.69” is the only play they’ve done all the way through with no mistakes.
The sad thing is it was very short
Sadly, he did butcher the name. Soooo to be a dick, I gotta point it out.
But! It is the only play that has gone through act 1-3 perfectly
actually no got confused with the shopping receipt and the special effect at the wrong time
also forgot the name of the play
The kitchen sink was good!
“You’re a horse, you have nothing to spend it on”
“Apples”
“Horses don’t buy apples”
“They would if they had money”
Uhhhh well it's not wrong
Fun fact: his original line was
"Hoovers"
"Horses don't have hoovers"
"Yes they do, on their feet"
I also love how Max is just nodding along
I love the Chekov's Gun joke. Because that is exactly what Chekov's Gun is: introducing a gun meaning someone will get shot.
So, for all he is wrong about acting, he gets something spot on... by getting it wrong 🤣
Hi
Didn't Chekov use a phaser?
@@RJSRdg😂😂very funny, the trope has nothing to do with our favorite Russian starlet officer
'This is not your best work Chris' gets me every time
I love how surprisingly logical Dennis is at 2:34
Also I love how they completely rely on what's written on the props
Apples
SEVEN!
Oh
Fun fact, Johnathan Sayer is both the writer of the show and Dennis’s actor.
"It is not my job to do this Chris."
"Medically fascinating" 😂😂😂
S E V E N
I mean, was there ever a better description of Dennis?
SUCH a good line!
I lost my shit that day 🤣
I always die of laughter at 10:13. Just An absolute chuck at Chris. The force behind it is Just hilarious.
i love how half of these things are completely faked, like the button was actually made of fondant, but sometimes there's no other way than to act something than to genuinely do it
I love how he pulls the safety pin and the extinguisher tank just falls on the floor XD.
Oh, which button was it?
The one that chris gave vanessa to eat when he was a snowman in the spirit of Christmas @@norishimogawa6125
I like how they're singing "christ" ans their voices just shoot up like they're yelling it
I sit through every minute of this just to watch Dennis say that immortal line "Is it me you're looking for?" Totally worth all the bumps and bruises from all the other mishaps and mashups....brilliant.
I've always loved the bit with, "clop clip, clop clip"
"it's clip clop"
"oh are we both horses??"
“Join me in fiction” gets me every time 😂😂😂

"Did that taste good?" Will never NOT give me saratonin.
I think about it constantly
"why can't we all be like ruffles... he don't ask for nothin.." "packet of wine gums please!"
"Family size please”
I love Robert (Henry Lewis)
“And he don’t care about money!”
“£3.49? What is this, the cinema?”
“Absolutely not ill put them back a-
Excuse me sir what have you just put down your trousers?”
1:54
"Chris, not again, not again"
Never noticed that before.
What’s she referring to?

Robert almost yeeted Chris into another dimension with that fire extinguisher.
That was a proper stunt - I wonder if they had to rig up the extinguisher themselves, or it's a standard thing you can get for TV and film?
If you watch the Lodge episode, there’s a part where Chris is supposed to hit Robert’s character but Robert keeps goading chris to hit him harder cause he’s too weak, prompting chris to slap him, so Robert backhands Chris and knocks him out and freaks out

The halo piece from the Nativity episode is one of my favourites. 😂

"HARD."
How did your play turn out?
15:48 "Halo!, is it me you're looking for? " must be one of the most "underrated" lines in the whole show.... xD
"Prison is... prison... we're in prison"
😆😆😆
Robert describing Dennis as "medically fascinating" always takes me out
4:03 is the best moment in this whole video, you cannot change my mind.
I don't know what I was expecting but I can tell you I was definitely not expecting that.
Yes
I need a clip of just that
I have asthma. I almost lost my life watching that scene. 😂
My favorite line is “I think I’m horribly burned” XD
“this is not your best work Chris” HOWLING OH MY GOD 💀
“THERES NO FIRE YOU MORON! …Merry Christmas-“
"Though I'm gone I am always hard."
"That's not the line."
😂😂😂
9:48 you missed the best bit, "oh yeah, the dog's dead". 😂
Chris is just one breakdown away from murdering one of his co-workers
Trevor is right though, when there is a fire alarm test happening anywhere you work at, you evacuate the building
If its testing the alarm you don't, if its a drill you do
@@silverbrumbyfanmy favorite bit in the midst of that is Chris rightfully pointing out that if there is a fire alarm, you don't take the time to gather your things or get changed you're just supposed to leave immediately

"Hiya!"
"No, Higher!!!"
"ʰᶦʸᵃᵎ"
2:34 Well, you can’t exactly argue with Dennis here.
"did that taste good?" 😂
“My mum doesn’t believe me. She says you’re a solid 8 and I’m a 2.”
“What’s that sound?”
“INCOMPETENCE!”
Incompententente
"I AM RUFUS!"
"I thought you were Hitler."
"NO!"
1:52 Did anyone else notice that Chris was about to punch whoever was in the cactus?
Yes😂
I've just realised that during the fire alarm bit, max is wearing the orange turtleneck from the lodge

The say the horse says 'apples :(' so sadly will never not get me
2:37
“Why can’t you be more like Ruffles? He don’t ask for anything!”
Ruffles: “Pack of Wine Guys, please.”
The fire alarm is actually in tune during silent night. I wonder if that was deliberate.
I wonder what would’ve happened if there was an actual fire at some point during the play
A serious documentary about amateur dramatics .
I would make this video but it would just be the entire first season christmas episode. Loved it so much that I screenrecorded it the day that it was set to be taken off of BBC iPlayer and now I have it saved on a USB drive for when I feel sad.
My favourite part about the bear/beer scene is when she says lager instead to make it clearer but Dennis instead gets a LARGER bear lmao
I know its your favourite bits but did you have to show Dennis's play in its entirety. . It does go on a bit.
The more I study Dennis the more obvious it becomes that he truly hasn’t got the faintest idea what theatre even is. I really wonder what he thinks they’re all trying to do.
