Yeah I'm just finishing up season 1. I don't laugh out loud in person when I'm alone watching something, this show has me doing it multiple times per episode.
Just wait until you learn about the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is.
What do they say? What do they say?
Ohhh they say about the acropolis where the Parthenon iiiiiiiis
David Mitchell is great on it. Billy Bailey and Phill Jupitus have also been great contestants. The horizon question is still one of my favorite moments on the show.
David Mitchell is one of my favourite things about life.
If I was British, I suspect I would just be David Mitchell.
I take issue with a few things he says there, but he is such a potent speaker. And, it's quite the debate to watch in full. Widdecombe does such a colossally awful job of making any of her points. I suppose this isn't surprising, since she seems to be quite the atrocious and sententious old woman, but I credit her bad performance more for the 'loss' of the Yes side of that debate.
No offense was meant to anybody by my posting, but I'm glad we agree on the speech, or his writing style, in general!
Oh, no offense taken at all; did not mean to give that impression. I grew up Catholic -am now an atheist- and he just makes some (common) inaccuracies in some of his statements. I'm also not sure I think certain points are logical, but heat-of-the-moment one is likely to misspeak and he probably meant the more cogent interpretation.
NOOOOO... Not there!
Mirage!
It was a cut segment, probably because they could never get through it without everyone devolving into laughter.[DOUBLEPOST=1397696554,1397696520][/DOUBLEPOST]Also,

Johnny Vegas has problems with the show, too
Phill Jupitus is still pissed about the horizon thing, as well.
I will say, for as tricky and cruel as the questions may be, it's been fun seeing the contestants who've been around for a while getting more and more genre savvy as the show goes on.
David Mitchell has his issues as well
On a somewhat different note, you can now buy legitimate stamps featuring Tom of Finland's art*.
...they're from Finland, of course. Finland's got yer gay agendum right heah.

Well, he's right 2/3 of the time about american comics. John Belushi, and Ben Stiller are americans. However the 3rd one he mentions, Jim Carrey, is Canadian.
Still an interesting segment. Someone might say, Quite Interesting...
Yes, but he's working in the American idiom, which includes being a part of the tapestry of that medium.
Plus, he's a dual citizen.
I hear Canadian roasts never get past apologizing for all the mean things they're about to say.
I would say there is a difference. Probably not a huge one, but I think it exists.
Compare, I dunno, "22 minutes" or Rick Mercer to Colbert? Or (the now dated) "kids in the hall" to... SNL? (I don't have any iconic clips in mind, so no youtube suggestions from me)
From what I've seen, and I'm not a connoisseur, in general Canadian humour has a healthy dash of British humour in it, moreso than south of the boarder.
I think one of the reasons that New Girl has not really caught on, is because the humor is more British than American. And Americans don't do British humor well. Schmidt especially, he thinks he is high class but he has no tact or sense that he is always wrong.
I was definitely a bigger fan of KitH than SNL (with the exception of the original SNL crew).
