like when he broke down during the interview..

@Elite Mangudai no, when he joined the cult

I frequently do that with my daughter, my dad and my best friend. When we both see the joke coming way before the various parts have intersected to make it funny. It’s the fact that our humour is so tuned to one another, the realization that we are all on exactly the same wavelength is even funnier than the joke to come and silent belly laughs with tears flowing down cheeks is the inevitable result. It’s magical to share that with someone. My absolute favorite thing.

He’s remembering when Jez needed Mark’s permission to pee himself at Marks wedding to Sophie 😂

+Daniel Evans - Yes, it's crazy how two different people can have different laughs.

RFC3514 Detecting mild sarcasm. I meant in regards to their personalities. On screen its often portrayed the other way in their sketches that David plays the more refined, solid characters and Robert the more common, flaily characters. Green clarinet man being a fine example.

***** - Well, you could just as easily have mentioned the Hennimore sketches, where Robert is the everyman and David is the crazy boss, or the historian sketches where Robert plays the serious director and David plays the (literally) very flaily presenter. And those aren't their _personalities_, anyway, they're characters. If you watch them in interviews (as themselves), Rob is generally the "quieter" of the two.

RFC3514 Indeed I could have done, I just found it odd as I'm used to often seeing them that way around in a their sketches.

You're telling me to piss myself?

Whats next? fuck myself? eat myself? XD

hohohomum Loads of takes

Haven't you ever had a funny idea or come up with a funny joke and laughed to yourself about it? Then when you tell the next people, they might find it funny but you've sort of laughed it out. This is sort of the case with their show. They probably rehearse a bit before the takes and then there will likely be takes where they lose it and have to start over.

it may also be that he had a joke in his head that he lost it to and couldn't get it out.

Read his book if u haven't already, it's great!

After all that unhinged shit he said about Corbyn? Nah pass on him mate

@@HahaDamn What did he say?

Too bad he's a transphobe

Sadly he used his reach to voice some transphobic stuff and has taken being "gender critical" as his hill to die on, but to a lesser degree than J K Rowling and Graham Lineham.

I love watching David and Robert on panel shows together - they're so funny!

Still are

Best mates in real life and were each others best man at their respective weddings.

@@andyc6542 that's adorable

"Piss myself: stop pissing myself?"

@@apexmarbella “I’m so pathetic that as soon as you order me to piss myself I’ve started the procedure”

I couldn’t help but think about this exact episode as well. So god damn brilliant.

You’re being a real DICK about this aren’t you?

@@stephenbrunton8002 🤣🤣🤣

Same, I read a few comments and it hit me out of nowhere.

Didn't expect to find a Kripperino out here. Especially not Balderino

i still don't get it... ??

@@SammyC27 the idea of someone forcing anyone to pee without their consent, especially a celebrity like Tom Cruise, is amusing. What is also kind of amusing is how the panel conversation somehow lead down that weird road XD

All I can imagine is Tom Cruise on the toilet, reacting exactly the same way as Greg Davies in his Graham Norton story where he accidentally ends up wearing his mother's knickers in a school: *"Oh God, oh no! You loser, this is such a low point!"*

Actually, if he'd made a habit of using only public toilets he's have been fine, as he'd have been safer if there were some potential witnesses about.

Cruitheach triggered

He should have bolted the door. Then he himself wouldn't have been.

Chamber pots save lives

Jamie Todd He got bolted, alright.

'and he's been working on it for like a month'

Jack Reilly Yep he taught himself to laugh to the point of tears for a one minute bit that didn't even make the show, genius.

This is contagious

@@drizzlyadams1447 well that is outrageous!!

He has a radio show with Mark Lamarr

That's what I thought, I'm really not sure if he crying with laughter, the tears came on rather quickly :\ although I don't know feelings what "Tom Cruise having a wee without consent" could bring on!

+billyc2010 I know, It's like he suddenly sat on his balls.

Well he's laughing his ass off and trying his best to contain it. Tends to happen to me sometimes, you just laugh and cry and break down as a total incoherent mess and everyone looks at you mildly amused

Agreed. He tried to hold in the laughter at first and he struggled so he ended up having tears in his eyes :D

You mean you don't know the whole urine backstory between Webb and Cruise? I for one applaud Webb's bravery here and think it could be genuinely helpful to other people who have wee trauma with Tom Cruise.

+20centuryfox100 LOL

It's not really well known, but David Mitchell can make shadowclones of himself. It's really weird and he doesn't use it all that much except to serve as an audience member for his own shows, you know, test the experience from the crowd. ...and a series of SAS airdrops over central asia in 2011 but those files are classified.

Because its quite clearly a euphemism (and had legal ramifications) something seemingly entirely missed by everyone here.

@@alexandercochrane637 What do you mean?

Are you taking the piss? =P

Now come on, don't piss on his bonfire!

Lame.

That's a proper reference. Much better than the moron who simply wrote "are you taking the piss".

There is no bonfire!

Is that a metaphor?

Well he was safe enough, he hadn't been gutting a clown in an earlier scene, so there was none of the required foreshadowing...

I was indeed wondering. Thanks

I'd settle for bringing back Peep Show

My car has broken down. Must have been hit by a car in a previous life.
