There are so many classic M&W sketches, I hope you more in future.

Karl Dönitz was the High Admiral that looked after all the U-Boats

You definitely need to watch Peep Show when you finish one of the other shows (the show that made David Mitchell and Robert Webb). It's absolutely hilarious and there's plenty of seasons to dig into.

Strike that comment! Apologies to you both

Dear Mike, I notice a crackling coming across your & Jess’s microphones. Heard it on your most recent Office reaction too. Best wishes
Alex Miller
peep show!!!!! so funny
Matt Draper
You guys please check out peep show! It's absolutely brilliant

Never watched this or peep show, looking forward to it

Yes, and I always feel that Robert Webb's contribution is underestimated. His portrait of Jez in Peep Show is comedic genius and, while he might not be as naturally witty as David Mitchell and obviously had his career blighted by alcoholism, he is by far the better actor of the two.

David is a history buff, so he should know the skulls were originally used by the Death's Head Hussars of the Prussian army, and while the Prussians were probably evil by today's standards, so were all the other European powers. My point being when the design came about (200 years before the nazis) they werent more evil than the average. Great sketch anyway though of course, Mitchel and Webb are one of the most iconic comedy duos of the modern era!

My favourite line in "Are We The Baddies", which Jess missed because of the audio problem, apparently, is: "Yes, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned in the last thousand miles of retreat, it’s that Soviet agriculture is in dire need of mechanisation” in response to Webb's question about the Soviet sickle emblem. Typically Mitchellian joke, one might say 😋.

They're definitely nothing alike, other than being very funny

If you like The Inbetweeners I’m sure you’ll enjoy Peep Show, although they’re quite different

Karl Dönitz was head of the Kriegsmarine, the German Navy, and one of the Nazis' few effective leaaders, since it was he who realised that the British Navy was too vast to be defeated by conventional means, so managed to persuade Hitler to divert resources from his vanity project of a surface fleet into a huge U-Boat fleet, devising the dreaded 'Wolf Packs'. It's true to history that he was made Führer ("U" with an umlaut is pronounced with almost a "U" but no "Y" at its start, rather than "oo" sound, but the "H" is silent, so Jess was pretty much correct in her pronunciation!) immediately after Hitler's suicide by the army command and with the express intent of having a head of state who could surrender to the Allied Supreme Commander, General Eisenhower. The comic conceit, obviously, is in imagining that he would have been thrilled with the promotion!

it's a savage garden my friend.

Oh yes, this appetiser then Office 2-1 while I get my bacon & sausage butty lunch. I'm sure no-one has mentioned Peep Show yet, so Peep Show..but it's a long-series, so Father Ted first for the giggles i rek.

Mitchell and Webb was so good. Havent seen it in so long, thanks for that reminder. I do quote 'are we the baddies?' From time to time. Usually when playing games haha. Mike: heard the crackle at the beginning but you either managed to clean it up in post or it disappeared quickly into the recording
Julian T
Look forward to you discovering more David Mitchell - Peep Show, any Mitchell and Webb skits, his QI appearances, his soapbox rants.
Nathan Daly
You should reach to Harry Enfied and Gay Nazis , also nice to see Mike kept his Fuhrer Moustache Heil Mike o/

That was great. Don't worry too much about the sound issues, that came across well. David Mitchell has always been something of a history scholar, he's even written a book on the Kings and Queens of England. I agree with others that you should react to 'Peep Show'. Many hours and seasons of this type of humour.
na plz
Great reaction and nice idea to join two related clips into one. I'm sure this has been said over and over again, and I see some peep show clips on the comedy playlist but just in case it hasn't... Please consider adding that show as one of the series you watch.

His name was Karl Dönitz (pronounced Dernits). I love David Mitchell and Robert Webb together. You two would probably enjoy Peep Show, it leaned on David's character being quite awkward and uptight, and Robert being almost the exact opposite. It's quite uniquely filmed as many of the shots are looking straight to camera from the character's point of view. I'm sorry Russell Howard lost, but hope he's on next week's poll, you two would dig his comedy I think.
Christian Rolfe
There's so much from that show that your gonna love, their minds are very dry and literal. Love it
Erica
You can be sure that anything featured in ‘That Mitchell & Webb Look’ are thoughts that have been on David Mitchell’s mind for years 🤣. Don’t worry Mike they are taking the piss out of Nazis which is an acceptable way to deal with any arseholes 😃
