Hiya Mandy! 👕 “I see dumb people” - great t-shirt, completely (in)appropriate for your customer facing job at the theatre 🎭 5:25 Weedy - thin and physically weak in appearance. another informal British word for ya Mand. (Can’t believe nobody’s picking up on this & helping you out, jeez 🤓😁) 15:15 It seems like Breaking Bad found the winning formula 😀 Bob Odenkirk was initially cast for only four episodes, and stuck around longer than the show, with his spin off Better call Saul. 17:08 Moss, consoling the widow gave her a pen and said: “Swings and roundabouts” - a situation in which different actions or options result in no eventual gain or loss. “it’s all much of a muchness” another chiefly British phrase 🤓. So she lost a husband, but gained a pen! It all evens out in the end 😆 22:35 Smoking? Ok, so you having grown up in a smoke free family set no precedent for yourself and brothers. Well, both my parents smoked while I was growing up, and they sure *did* set a precedent, which was: “smoking’s bad, never start up it’s a disgusting habit, I wish we could have stopped”. That was both implied, and preached at us during our childhood! So yeah, that was drilled into us from an early age 😀 So how does it start? Marketing? Having a “cool” image? group conformity? A mere abstract notion of its harmful effects? The high? It’s meant to make you feel more relaxed, right? Also, weed, I guess 🤷‍♂️ Now, I’ll admit *some* cigar smoke does smell really nice, and passive smoking is the best way to experience that 😀 but the regular 20 packs of cigarettes, nope. 31:50 yeah I believe Chris Morris, the actor who played Denholm Reynholm, decided to leave after the 1st series, and shortly after he went on to write and direct Four Lions, a film to which you might have already been asked to react. So anyway, there you go. Next! G

I'm replying to you, not Mandy 😀

Stevus

Yeah, I've done that with a bunch of shows, then if you comment, she'll likely have forgotten and have no idea what you're talking about. 😂 remember those time stamps! And personally I'm not as optimistic as Mandy regarding the new Argentine President. But I don't really want to get into politics here. I hope for her sake she's right. 🤞

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Offers to send the t-shirt... I'm way behind on the IT Crowd reactions 😀

Stevus

What sort of t-shirt offers?

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

came here looking for ppl making t-shirt offers 😁

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Mandy won't let me even try 😆

Rusty Dog

You go for it! 😊 Did you get my little gift ok? You have some Patreon DM's btw. 😁

Mandy Cane Lane

Thank you very much kind Roger!!! 🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Actually, you make a good point Stuart. I only know one person that started as an adult, but the guy is a total idiot. xD

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha! You are too sweet! Thank you!! Amazon is not an option at the moment because borders remain closed, but they are soon to be open! When they do I will be sure to get some stupid but cool stuff! LOL

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! Thank you very much Benjamin! As soon as the country opens up the borders I am getting a P.O. box or something! I would never ask for anything, but I know a lot of people want to send me Twix and I would love to accept some! Haha xD

Mandy Cane Lane

A lovely idea, but it is more of a 'borders are closed, everything gets stuck at customs' issue. Now the goverment changed a few weeks ago and they are setting things right and opening up the country, so hopefully very soon! I really want some Twix! xD

Mandy Cane Lane

Thank you for sharing! - Nope, quite the opposite! The fitness brother used to smoke but gave up all unhealthy things years ago and is now obsessed with being healthy. The smoking brother has a very sedentary lifestyle.

Mandy Cane Lane

Hmm... thank you for the input! I too hate the taste of wine, beer and most alcohol.

Mandy Cane Lane

That line was great xD

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! Thank you future Stevie! Also Paul, you make a good point! LOL, I also realised yesterday that I have seen the gif of him jumping out the window numerous times and never knew what it was from! xD

Joshyboiiiiii

Oooo that's a good question, both 😂

Joshyboiiiiii

Theys a Jen boyfriend called peter file at some point

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

This is Stevie from the future. Mandy, it is funny but it is dark. The kind of thing you could listen to while doing I don't know computery things. Like Edi, Editity, Editeded, Editing or something like that 🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

🤷🏻‍♀️

Mandy Cane Lane

Ohhhhh... ok. Thank you 🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHAHA! Just my luck!! 🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Wouldn't go to the future and not sure about the past. Is it just to relive? Or do I get to change stuff?

Jeffrey44

All the cool kids are vaping now. Which is just like smoking but with better marketing.

Hypnobob

Thanks Stevie.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

That sucks, feel better soon.

Steve with a beard

Hahaha! You legend 😁 Have the most amazing Christmas Mandy! 🎄🎅🏻

Hypnobob

Yep. Have it right now. Dodged it for almost 4 years. On the mend though!

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahah! *cough* noted *cough*

Mandy Cane Lane

That is definitely on my eternal list! 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Ahh, ok. So it was a Noel decision 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

It's a goth thing. Lol 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

All so unexpected! Haha

Mandy Cane Lane

Well this definitely took an odd turn but thank you Stevie and thank you all! 🥰💜🌈🤗 I am beyond content with how lovely everyone here is and it is so cute to read comments when you guys interact with eachother. 🤭

Roger Hurst

Video embedding is working perfectly. Better than having to go to Daily Motion to watch. Merry Christmas wonderful Mandy!!!! 😘🎄🎅🏻

Stuart

In the early nineties when I was a teenager it was common for kids to smoke from around twelve years old. They were easy to buy and I guess it was a rebellious thing to do so a lot of people got hooked on them as teenagers. I don't know anyone who started smoking as an adult. You hardly ever see a young person smoking cigarettes now.

Jeffrey44

He is an OAP now (or senior as an American would say). He doesn't go on location anymore. He will die of "natural causes" as they used to say in the old days, or perhaps COVID-19, that seems to be popular again recently. Do you remember COVID-19?

Rusty Dog

I looked for places in Argentina or places that would ship to Argentina to get you that t-shirt, but the only one I could find (wihch does a few IT crowd t-shirts), seems a bit dodgy to me. Amazon International? Have you shopped with them before? Another great reaction from you and speaking of which, your delayed reaction at 13:30 was priceless. Haha.

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

First of all: happy Christmas weekend Mand.😁 11:15 "I'd rather lick a Tramp", tramp here meaning: a bum, a homeless person or vagrant. If you want some of those cool teeshirts Roy wear you need only ask us hahaha, I'm sure we can club together to get you one for Christmas 👍😂

Feathers McGraw

Miss Mandy. You really need to sort out some kind of postage address. Who knows, you might even get an 'I see dumb people' T-shirt and/or many other fun and/or tasty things. I feel like it would be well worth your while. I'm sure you could figure something out besides a P.O box. How about the theatre? Would that be safe etc?

Feathers McGraw

Thank goodness we don't still have the old TV's with all the junk in the trunk anymore, they took up so much real estate. My current one is literally just 2 sheets of glass. Yay technology! And I also hate cigarettes, they are awful. I've had housemates who smoke and one of them used to smoke inside when he had lived alone, and ALL of his furniture and everything permanently stank of stale cigarette smoke. Grosse. It is hard to believe people still do it. The first time i tried cigarettes i was about 9 or 10 and me and a couple of friends found a whole pack on the side of the road and decided it would be funny to do the Gremlins thing. That really helped put me off. It was not pleasant. I'm curious whether the brother of yours that smokes is also the fitness guy?

TheHigh

Chris Morris is a legend don't get me wrong , but this is where the ITcrowd get seriously better imo , when Douglas is introduced! Matt berry plays it perfectly! and to the smoking thing , I've smoked for 15~ years but not cigarettes/tobacco , the taste of it is gross tbh , cannabis on the otherhand tastes absolutely amazing and I've enjoyed it daily since 15+ years ago lol , so many strains taste vastly different. then again , i hate the taste of beer , wine , ales and almost all alcohol tbh , i aint got heavily drunk for more than 1day in a row since i was a kid , best taste of all though has to be nether of them , sober and healthy tastes the best i bet :P peace 🕊️✌️

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Just been looking on YouTube, and there is a lot of Blue Jam. I will give it a listen over the weekend, cheers for the recommendation.

paul

Haha, I can imagine Mandy's face. I don't know how to describe it, but it would be one of her shocked faces to camera!

paul

I like how from the very beginning of the sketch alarm bells are ringing, but the parents are so chill that you have to actually be paying attention to what they're saying, nothing about their tone gives away the severity of the situation. "He's pretty bright for a 6 year old... incidentally did he come home from school today?" "No, no he didn't, do you think we should call someone?" "Nah... (yawning), he probably just decided to stay overnight at the school" Hahaha, WTF!

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Can you imagine Mandy's face if she listens to that haha.

paul

And right after that line the mum tuts and says, "that's a bit much!" Hahahaha!

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Haha, it's a classic. I just put any old shit on, I wish it would let me put The Smell Of Reeves and Mortimer on but BBC so no chance.

paul

Haha, I'm having a little chuckle at the lyrics to Minder...

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Not the greatest picture quality but still funny https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFYLJKOJCy4gGXAF1ro9hxyzXlh0LxF_9

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Sound like he was buggered a lot and then strangled. Jesus it is dark, but you are right it's funny.

Joshyboiiiiii

Think Mandy's just wet herself seeing that

paul

Nope, didn't realize they'd done anything together. Sounds promising!

paul

Hahaha. So funny how lazy they are. "How about bunging him in a cab?"

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Have you guys seen Matt Berry Does..., narrated by Matt Berry and written by Bob Mortimer.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I hope the guy knew Ted was on goat milk only 😂

paul

How does Attenborough die? Does his documentary crew finally sit back and let the lions have him?

paul

It's been a long time since I listened to Blue Jam so I'm not sure how strongly or not to recommend it. I remember it being quite dark and surreal but that's about it. I don't think it's quite as classic as the Day Today. The one sketch I do remember is this one about bad parents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zazo3iOrAkc Probably a bit too dark for some people's tastes but I think it's hilarious.

paul

He's great isn't he. I feel like he really lifts the show now he's in it.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Yes, he is brilliant, I watched Four Lions again recently make sure you try to see it. I haven't seen the Blue Jam stuff, I will look into it.

paul

Chris Morris? I've seen The Day Today, Brass Eye and Nathan Barley, all of which I thought were amazing. I haven't seen Four Lions, must get round to that one day. I've heard Blue Jam the radio show but not seen Jam the TV show. Do you like Chris Morris, Stevie?

Joshyboiiiiii

Matt berry is criminaly underrated

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Apparently, after the first series he was too busy to do a second, so he just filmed the scenes at the beginning of this episode. Have you seen his other work Paul?

paul

"A second tape? I see... Actually, I don't follow." Hahaha, too funny.

paul

These feels like it should be the first episode of the series, what with Denholm topping himself at the beginning and then Matt Berry making his epic entrance to the show at the funeral. Not sure why they slipped in The Work Outing as episode one, but fair enough.

AWR93

Merry Christmas to Mandy and everyone!

paul

SPEAK PRIEST

Joshyboiiiiii

Wonder how long till peter file

Jeffrey44

A "tramp", in this context at least, is a homeless person (or hobo as an American world say)

Jeffrey44

That was a joke one. Everyone knows that The Inbetweeners is a children's programme (or kid's show as an American would say). She wouldn't react to it.

JokerDanny

Merry Christmas to Mandy and everyone.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

🤣🤣🤣

JokerDanny

"This could be Christmassy" - Hopeful Mandy. BAM! Suicide within the first minute of the episode. 😆

Joshyboiiiiii

Random question of the day. If you could go to any year in the past or future which would you end up in and why?

Joshyboiiiiii

I guess we aren't spending Christmas together then 🥺😭😭

Joshyboiiiiii

FATHERRRRRRRR

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I think Mandy reacting to The Inbetweeners might be pushing it a bit 😄. Other than that, as we say up north, it'll be Reet.

Steve with a beard

I'm glad you're enjoying this more as it goes along, and Douglas is fantastic - as is anything Matt Berry does ( *cough* 'What we do in the shadows' *cough* future ideas *cough* 😂) haha. Great reaction as always Mandy!

Jeffrey44

I like your prediction about things getting better for all of us next year, Stevie. It's a lovely thought. Here are my predictions for 2024. - The slow rise of the far right in Europe and the rest of world continues. - Climate change takes a larger hold of the world than ever before with no real solutions in sight. - The rich get richer. - The poor get poorer. - The wars in Israel and Ukraine continue. - Deep fake technology is used by foreign countries to win elections. - Sir David Attenborough dies. - More cuts to UK public services than ever before. - Mandy Cane Lane reacts to The Inbetweeners. - Argentina invades The Falkland Islands (or Islas Malvinas as an Argentina would say). Happy Christmas, all.

Hypnobob

Merry Christmas Stevie, people of earth - and Mandy!

Jonathan Davies

Noel Fielding does lots of different voices. You definitely need to watch The Mighty Boosh 😇 only 3 series and it’s what put Noel on to the map!

Z is for Zed

Noel likes doing odd voices, wait until they get you onto watching The Mighty Boosh.

DriveIn

"What funeral?" Mandy and Richmond very much on the same wavelength there 😁 I always look forward to these videos, thanks M 🤩

paul

Merry xmas everyone 🥂

Josh Read

A very nice message there Steve. I hope you have a good Christmas. 🍺 to Mandy and all us patreons

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

That was amazing, I'm loving it. You are going to love Matt Berry's character (Douglas Reynholm) he is a legend. Cheers Mandy🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I will say this now, so I don't forget. Mandy, I know you have said you don't really do Christmas. Neither do I anymore, but I would still like to wish you, your family, and lil Kitana all the best and Merry Christmas. Also, I'd like to thank you for the laughs and entertainment you have given us. Your videos have helped a lot of people on here, myself included. So again, thank you. You are greatly appreciated. Next year will be better for us all FACT! To all you lovely Patreon people, I've enjoyed reading all your comments and all the interactions. Not that I interact much, I usually just do my own thing Lol. Mandy's built a great community here, and it is a pleasure to be part of it. Whatever you guys are doing over the festive season be good, be safe and..... Merry Christmas you filthy animals.
