The final detail of his walk turning into a run is brilliant.

clarabellen Yes. I love these guys. There is something so surprisingly, desperately, tragically human about this sketch, and the run at the end is... We've all encountered something that demands we run from it, not walk. And, even worse, we have all been in a place we can't run from, though we know we should.

@darkprose 9 жыл бұрын

clarabellen Mitchell and Webb sometimes really get to me, their poignancy and pain catch me unawares from time to time. I find myself thinking about this sketch and some others long after I've seen them, and I don't laugh. I suppose this hits me in another personal sense because I was in a seminary some time ago, and though I want to say I was an emotionally healthy person at the time, the truth is I just wasn't. I'm only glad I recognized it earlier rather than later.

+666deadman1988 you obviously don't know any priests, I know lots and they're the happiest people I know. Truth is they're probably much freer than you sexually, because they can control their will-power while others are slaves, they crawl in submission when porn or masturbation beckons. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to stop, and they're addicts. The priest is free because passions are beneath his reason.

sarcastic bowl of cornflakes Rubbish, teachers, parents, and relatives also abuse children. The problem is rotten adults who work with children, and not the vocation. When was the last time you said to a parent 'oh hi, when have you last abused your child?' Because statistically, parents and relatives abuse their children much more than priests.

@catholicmilitantUSA 8 жыл бұрын

sarcastic bowl of cornflakes ugh, I knew I shouldn't have got into an argument with an internet atheist. Suffice it to say that some of the brightest minds in science (from Lemaitre to Mendel to Paschal to Copernicus) were devout Catholics, and some of the brightest genius in the arts, from painting, sculpture and architecture to philosophy, law, and every single science you can imagine, were Catholic. It takes 7-12 years study at university to become a priest, please don't think too highly of yourself. Anyway, you're probably the brightest guy in the world and nothing I say can change that, so goodbye. Just out of interest though; try and abstain from masturbation for seven days. Go on, try it; let's see who the slave is. Anyway, ciao.

@@Ron-Ayres They are often added. There's no doubt about this. Not only can you hear the same identical laugh sounds re-used in different sketches, but also many of the sketches are clearly not shot with an audience, yet feature obvious laugh tracks.

I think it's amazing how many emotions this clip brought up in such a short time. At first it just seems like a normal sketch, then it tugs at your heart strings, then it tugs even more. It starts to get creepy, then that uncomforable-funny-creepy and at the end it's really sad. And I'm left feeling somewhat confused (emotionally speaking) and somewhat uneasy. Absolutely brilliant.

The humor in The Mitchell and Webb Situation is darker and grittier than anything. This particular sketch deals with subject matter that may make the audience uncomfortable, i.e. unrequited love. It pokes fun at certain feelings that society writ large isn't really at ease dealing with. The humor is more in their presentation than content. The contents are quite painful as you said, but the fact that a priest is saying it is ironic and the bluntness of it makes it even more unexpected.

That's what people mean these days when they say 'laugh track'. Everyone knows it's a studio audience, that it's not literally a separately added recorded laugh. But people who say 'I hate laugh tracks' really don't care how it's made. They just don't like hearing the laughter while they're watching a show.
