That Mitchell and Webb Look is a BBC Two Sketch Show starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, best known for their characters Mark and Jeremy in the Brit Com Peep Show. It ran from 2006 to 2010. Recurring characters tend to be limited to one series, although some (such as The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar) have run for longer. The sketches are occasionally intercut with Faux Documentary "behind-the-scenes footage" of the comedians, featuring much Lampshade Hanging and Self-Deprecation, and zig-zagging between playing up and sending up the duo's respective The Smart Guy and Manchild personas.The series was adapted from the radio show That Mitchell and Webb Sound, and the pair had previously made a short-lived TV Sketch Show called The Mitchell and Webb Situation. For ease of reference, tropes found in each series have been put into separate sections.See also Bruiser, another of Mitchell and Webb's earlier works.

Creator Breakdown: Invoked; one sketch involves a man bumping into a woman he once met and fell for at a party in the street, leading him to produce a keyboard and sing a song about how he fell in love with her at first sight. And then her husband shows up... and he proceeds to sing another song about how he met the husband at a different party, found him rather rude and offputting, and has no particular feelings for him at all and considers him a remote acquaintance at best, with the implication that he does this for everyone he happens to meet.

Reading Ahead in the Script: The series features fly-on-the-wall style sections with the actors having chats as themselves on the set. In one of them, David Mitchell points out that these are as scripted as the rest of the show, and shows Webb the script for the sketch they're in, which includes the direction "Cut to a close-up of the script. It reads: cut to a close-up of the script. It reads:..."

Hennimore's boss is not really mean-spirited or a bad man, but he invariably gives Hennimore two simultaneous tasks with instructions so confusing that no one could possibly handle both without screwing them up in the most comedic way possible. Needless to say, Hilarity Ensues.

Parodied when it is revealed that Numberwang is decided through complicated mathematics by Colosson. In the live show, Julie somehow managed to achieve Numberwang while bantering with the host.

Genre Savvy: The two Nazi goons who realize that their Skeleton Motif isn't quite right for the heroes of a story. The stage version adds one of them arguing that the pattern of German success in the war thus far doesn't fit with the heroes in any movie he's seen, but it does fit plenty of villains. Poor Hennimore clearly realises just how disastrous the consequences of his boss's latest set of conflicting instructions will be, and is a nervous wreck as a result.

Just the Introduction to the Opposites: A sketch where a husband and wife are arguing because he's just returned from a business trip and she finds a bra in his suitcase. She asks, mildly annoyed, if he's cheating on her, which he admits to absent-mindedly. The fight escalates as she brings in other "minor" issues such as her desire to have a baby and secret gambling addiction, all of which are attended to in the same bored-but-mildly-tetchy fashion, until she suddenly bursts into tears and he figures out what this is really about — that time he left the fridge door open and a whole quiche and some milk went bad.

Partially Civilized Animal: The farmer who shows up several times in series two seems to think his horse is one of these.

Deal with the Devil: One sketch features a man who made one for wealth and women a decade ago, but found having every whim catered for unfulfilling. Now Satan has come to collect his soul; however, the man had taken the contract to his lawyer brother-in-law, who had added clauses such that if the man was not completely satisfied, Satan's claim on his soul was void. The man was very surprised when Satan just gave the new contract a brief skim before agreeing to the new terms.

Chekhov's Boomerang
 That Mitchell and Webb Look / int_21f3e32e
comment
Chekhov's Boomerang: Episode 5 of Series 4 has a series of "behind the scenes" sketches about the pair trying to create a serious thought-provoking ending akin to the ending of Blackadder Goes Forth. ("I think we desperately need to show maturity with something with something tacked on and mawkish. Like we care about MS ... doesn't have to be MS, just people and their relationships and their disgusting problems, like we give a shit.") This is apparently fulfilled when the episode ends with one of the cast members being killed off, fading to the message "SOD CANCER". However, Episode 6, the series finale, then ends in a desperately sad depiction of Sherlock Holmes with dementia, showing the inevitability of losing one's former glory in old age. This time, it's not played for laughs.

A series of sketches in series 4, episode 6 revolve around an office worker who's actually Superman, and the Only Sane Man is constantly hushed down by everyone else when he tries pointing out how obvious this is. Then turned on its head when it turns out he's really not Superman... but everyone else at the office is a superhero.

Shipper on Deck: A (sort-of) meta example; the producer and new writer in the Preston and Loader sketch are determined to turn what was previously a gritty detective show into what is basically their personal gay Slash Fic by having Preston and Loader make out with each other in every scene.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Usually averted, as the cast have a handle on many regional dialects, as well as Mitchell and cast member James Bachman being quite good at affecting American accents. Parodied with a sketch set in the American Deep South: The 'behind-the-scenes' footage beforehand shows Webb trying and failing to put on a convincing American south accent. The duo play the sketch entirely with their normal voices until Sarah Hadland, playing Webb's wife, comes on at the end to deliver her one line in an appallingly bad accent; Webb, breaking character within the sketch, reminds her 'we said we weren't doing the voices.'

Agony of the Feet: One sketch has a man abducted by a lost tribe that lives in his local garden centre, who tell him he can leave... if he makes it through a gravel path barefoot. He doesn't.

Short-Lived Leadership: One sketch has admiral Karl Dönitz become the Führer note he actually became President, the title of Führer was split again between President and Chancellor after Adolf Hitler commits suicide. He immediately starts going on about the projects he wants to work on such as an autobahn, but his aides bring him back to reality by providing him with the essentials of what he'll need for his stay in power: General Eisenhower's phone number and how to say "We surrender" in English.

Born in the Wrong Century: One sketch has a brilliant Renaissance inventor who can apparently see the future (but only indistinctly) and keeps on inventing things which he sees can be useful someday (like a computer mouse) while he can't quite understand how.

Instant Turn-Off: In the "Agent Suave" sketch, before his climactic attempt at "Whack the Rat", a beautiful Bond Girl seductively offers to kiss Suave's whacker to bring him luck in a kind of "blow on the dice before rolling Craps" deal. However, she ends up practically fellating the object, which just serves to gross Suave out since his whacker is now covered in saliva.

Noodle Incident: A decidedly grim one in "The Event", as featured in the Quiz Broadcast sketches. The only people who know what happened are "Them", if the test card is any indication. Also, whatever happened to one of their contestants on a show we don't get to see. The area is cordoned off, and the host is reasonably certain that whatever it was, they stopped it. In a less apocalyptic example, we don't learn the specific details of the story that the woman who works with torture victims eventually tells to the real estate agent badgering her about it while he's showing her around a house, but from the horrified way he reacts it's apparently not very nice. Subverted with the banana dance that Webb proposes. Mitchell switches off the camera before watching it. It switches back on to Webb completely out of breath with an empty banana peel in his hand and Mitchell's opinion that it was shit. We get to see the actual dance (banana costume and all) when the credits roll.

Skewed Priorities: One sketch features a woman who isn't too bothered about her husband's infidelity but can never forgive him for leaving the fridge door open, causing a quiche and some milk to spoil. In the sketch where a man starts chloroforming people for being irritating, the first time he does so, the hostess of his party acts like he's just made an annoying faux pas, rather than drugging someone.

The only time she won (outside of the lone Numberwang radio sketch) was when there was a sudden death round, and the first person to die won. That's Numberwang! for you. In fact, in their live show, the host started verbally abusing Julie in the last round and showing blatant favouritism towards Simon.

In this sketch the little old ladies are, of course, played by Olivia Colman and James Bachman, their co-stars.

When their wives return to the conversation, the men play it off as the more experienced man giving business tips to the less experienced one... at which point the latter's wife cheerfully pipes up with "You should tell him how to rein in all the wanking!

Body Horror: Played for extremely dark laughs with "I Want To Be A Celebrity Centaur", where celebrities have their torsos grafted onto horse bodies. Complications quickly ensue, such as the bodies suffering organ rejection, or catching horse diseases and requiring the celebrities to be put down.

Disproportionate Retribution: One sketch featured a man who shot anybody who made a grammatical mistake dead. In fairness, he does apply it equally — he shoots himself when it is pointed out to him he made a grammatical mistakenote Though he fails to notice an earlier mistake he made: he referred to HHH as an acronym, when it's actually an initialism.

Crazy-Prepared: The creators of Colosson figured sooner or later it would try to take over the world, and built it with a failsafe mechanism that it would shut down if shown a picture of a chicken. Tragically, the documentary narrator confronted by an escaped Colosson, despite having foreseen this might happen, did not have a picture of a chicken.

Kill the Poor: One sketch was based around contemplating this as an easy solution to revitalizing the economy. Though it's played with, since the Minister suggesting it is forced to irritably clarify whether it would work or not he has no intention of actually doing it; he just wants to make sure they've literally contemplated all possible solutions.

Bond One-Liner: Parodied in one of the Party Planners sketches, in the middle of an extended What the Hell, Hero? aimed at Bond. The "Agent Suave" sketch reveals that all of the titular superspy's quips and Double Entendres come from a pair of lazy comedy writers sitting in a van outside reading from a book called '1001 Super Spy Jokes'. They're also providing this service for the villain. This backfires on them.

Nobody Poops: In one sketch, a film director complains: "No one goes for a piss in Star Wars, you can watch the whole of Ghostbusters and no-one brushes their teeth, and in Lost in Translation, nothing happens. At all." In the director's own film, The Gathering People, a cabinet meeting about the outbreak of World War II is interrupted when one of the ministers has to go to the bathroom.

Alternate Character Interpretation: In-universe with the Party Hosts again, who think Bertie Wooster is alright, but have nothing but scorn for the creepy, haughty, controlling Jeeves and his complicated plans for fixing relationships, which almost always seem to involve throwing dogs in lakes. The police interview the uncle of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, asking why he left his nephew alone in an area known for wolf attacks, especially when he'd cried wolf already, and questioning how he could have heard the boy's final pleas for help but not the noise of a vicious wolf attack.

Alternative Character Interpretation: The "Dinner Party Guests" sketches play this for laughs In-Universe, revealing why people such as James Bond, Scooby and Shaggy and Mahatma Gandhi would be a nightmare at a party, whilst Adolf Hitler would be a delight. They also suggest that Scrappy-Doo would be a charming guest, if a little bit impetuous ("but I think you can forgive that of a talking dog"). Also applies to the scarecrow sketch. Even the Blue Peter garden gets this, in a sketch which reveals that every TV show has its own private garden, not just Blue Peter; there's apparently an unwritten rule that you shouldn't show off the gardens on television, and the Blue Peter team are considered very uncouth for doing so.

Gargle Blaster: When the host of "A Prayer and a Pint" ends up in Tehran under the misapprehension that it's in Iraq, he's given a pint of pure ethanol mixed with caramel for colour since alcoholic beverages aren't legal in Iran and has to cough and wheeze his way through the hymn.

Hilariously Abusive Childhood: A series of sketches revolve around Pinocchio driving his father to madness with his unthinking sabotage, ruining the man's life and driving off potential dates, all the while oblivious to his father's attempts to get rid of or just kill him. All of which is played for laughs.

comment
Jerkass Has a Point: For a given value of "jerkass" given who we're discussing, and taking into account it's from their perspective. In the "Are We The Baddies?" sketch one of the Nazi officers, when discussing his concerns over the prominent use of skulls in Nazi iconography and the less-than-positive connotations this has, admits that he's been having doubts about the cause since listening to Allied propaganda. The other officer immediately retorts that obviously the Allies are going to frame Germany in as negative a light as possible, to which the first counters by pointing out that, while this might indeed be the case, the Allies didn't also have design privileges over Nazi uniforms.

Promoted to Scapegoat: Karl Dönitz is thrilled to learn that he's been named the next Führer after the death of Adolf Hitler. Unfortunately, his underlings have to patiently explain that this means less that he gets to implement his various ideas about pensions, autobahns, and the housing shortage and more that he gets to call General Eisenhower and surrender to the Allies.

Grammar Nazi: A boss who shoots his staff dead when they make errors. Ironically, his misuse of the word "acronym" goes unnoticednote He refers to someone shortening "Healthy Homes Hospitals" to "HHH" as an acronym, when it's actually an initialism, since each letter is pronounced separately, like The BBC or ATM, whereas an acronym is when they are pronounced as a word, like scuba or NATO. He ends up shooting himself for getting the plural of "ignoramus" wrong though.

Home and Garden: Parodied in the sketch "Coverage Of People Buying A House And Then Living In It". The titular show is clearly supposed to be in the vein of British versions like Location Location Location, with all the Mundane Made Awesome that is usually involved... except that everyone involved in the show has clearly realised just how teeth-grindingly mundane the process actually is and so cannot be bothered to actually inject the awesome. The result is two clearly rather bored men who cannot hide their disinterest and mild resentment at having to make a television on the process of buying a house and fixing it up a bit, and so rush through everything in as quick a dull monotone as can be gotten away with.

Immediately after, we're shown Webb approaching Mitchell (who was the one wearing said burqa) to have a discussion as to whether it could be considered offensive. It goes From Bad to Worse when Mitchell removes the outfit only to be sporting (mild) blackface. And not for any show-related reason - apparently David Mitchell just feels more comfortable when in blackface.

The reactions of the owner suggest that Hugh performs the same routine pretty much every morning.

 That Mitchell and Webb Look / int_8124e7a6
comment
Sudden Downer Ending: The very last episode of the last series ends with a surprisingly touching sketch about a senile Sherlock Holmes, who reveals he knows all too well what is happening to him. For a show built around frequently insincere, cynical Black Comedy and Surreal Humour, to have a moment of genuine pathos cap the series off works surprisingly well. Consider also that this is a Sketch Comedy we're talking about, not a Sitcom. It is rare - if not unprecedented - to see sketch comedy showrunners decide to finish off their run with a moment of genuine drama.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin
 That Mitchell and Webb Look / int_8409a385
comment
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Parodied in the 'Mad Scientist' sketch, where the Giant Death Ray is aptly named... but not for the reason the President of the United States and the head of the US Army think, which prompts this reaction when they discover it's not quite as lethal as they expected: In the second Numberwang, Simon is wearing a shirt that says "I AM FROM SPACE." Webb introduces him as "Simon, who is from space."

Drinking Game: A company makes it official policy for employees to take a drink whenever certain phrases are said, like for example, "merger" (wa-hey! *chug*). The Only Sane Man of the company tries to point out this is probably the reason they've wound up needing an actual merger (wa-hey! *chug*) in the first place.

As You Know: Frequently played for laughs in the radio version. In later series, a minor Running Gag is for one character to sum up information that everyone present already knows, and then say something like "I like to occasionally remind myself what's been going on. It's realistic." Some of these characters also like to point out the obvious just in case they're in a situation where they can't be seen, such as a radio comedy sketch.

This Is Reality: The premise for the skit featuring Moneypenny's friends. Similarly done in their Kitchen Nightmares parody, where the beleaguered restaurant owner tearfully exclaims that the host is just a better cook than he is. In the Evil Genius sketch, the villain has a hard time communicating with his minions since they are having trouble following his euphemisms. When he tries to establish false doors and trap doors, the builder bluntly tells him that they have to remodel the entire room since the desired plan has a lot of health and safety violations. With the changes in place, the genius's plans go wrong since his victims are given plenty of time to escape.

comment
This Is Gonna Suck: The Channel 4 execs, when their attempt to make a knock-off of "Story of the Jews" gets only one applicant — David Starkey, who wants to make it "The Story of The Blacks"note for context: David Starkey is a fairly infamous conservative-leaning historian who made several racially-charged comments concerning the London riots of 2011 specifically and the effects of non-white immigration on Britain in general. In short, he's the kind of person who has strong views about "Those People" and a documentary about the Black experience from his perspective would be the kind of thing that would make any self-respecting TV executive very nervous. The "Man's Hour" host has this when he tries talking to his guest, who is a typical bloke and refuses to talk about how he felt about watching a film. He quickly mutters "it's happening again", before trying to get the conversation to continue.

Protagonist Journey to Villain: The Green Clarinet sketch follows Alan; initially, he uses the clarinet that reveals embarrassing truths only on his Bad Boss and an annoying racist woman who pushes ahead of him in a queue. However, he's soon using it to extort free meals from people and abusing it, even turning it against the person who gave it to him. Luckily, the last person he tries blackmailing has a red tuba that makes you shit yourself.

My God, What Have I Done?: An elitist composer is forced to deal with the end result of his hubris after coming up with the idea of the Doctor Who Proms, when he has an interview with a ditzy young host who doesn't know a thing about music.

 That Mitchell and Webb Look / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: The "elderly Sherlock Holmes" sketch goes quickly from Black Comedy to tragedy. More humorously, a series of sketches in the fourth season involved Robert Webb and Abigail Burdess as a pair of new parents who swerve suddenly between happily cooing over their baby daughter (played by their actual daughter) and viciously hissing abuse towards each other right in front of her. The Quiz Broadcast sketches, especially the later ones, can cause these.

Humble Hero: In the "Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit" sketch, Angel Summoner is a genuinely modest fellow who just wants BMX Bandit to feel useful and included, and is scrupulous about trying to share the credit equally with him. It's just unfortunate that BMX Bandit's rather limited skill-set is fundamentally overshadowed by his ability to summon a horde of celestial super-beings at will.

Toilet Seat Divorce: Played for laughs in the sketch where a married couple have a mildly-tetchy-but-otherwise-bored bickering match about his infidelity with a work colleague, their incompatible desires for a child and her crippling gambling addiction, before the husband figures out the wife is really just dancing around the actual problem — the time he left the fridge door open and a quiche had to be thrown out, along with some milk. This is treated as a major betrayal which almost destroyed their marriage. Thankfully, however, they manage to settle matters and end up having a good little giggle over the fact that he didn't wear a condom while having his affair and has likely got his colleague pregnant.

Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids: Colosson, the robot with the job of determining whether or not something is Numberwang, was given mobility and laser cannons. This was apparently the result of the scientists who were creating him wondering late in development whether he could be used for the war effort. Because this didn't change what they used him for, it achieved nothing but creating a problem when he decides to take over the world. Maybe he was designed by Doctor Death? He does have trouble spotting the Potential Applications of laser cannon...

Oh, Crap!
 That Mitchell and Webb Look / int_ad1db87c

Oh, Crap!: During "What Not To Look Like", the two bitchy presenters have one where their quest shows up in a burqa. Immediately after, we're shown Webb approaching Mitchell (who was the one wearing said burqa) to have a discussion as to whether it could be considered offensive. It goes From Bad to Worse when Mitchell removes the outfit only to be sporting (mild) blackface. And not for any show-related reason - apparently David Mitchell just feels more comfortable when in blackface. During a snooker commentary, one of them declares it's actually Christmas. The other then realises it's Christmas, and runs out the door. In one Get Me Hennimore! sketch, Hennimore imagines the results of the instructions Mr. Boss is giving him (though we never hear what the exact instructions are) and knows that things are going to end badly, as usual. His face gets more and more distressed as the sketch goes on. Unusually for a Hennimore sketch, things go just fine and no problems occur... until the nuclear warhead detonates. During the Quiz Broadcast when the Host realises that "They" have gotten in. In the "War on Bill Oddie" sketch, the British Foreign Secretary is not prepared for the suggestion that Bill Oddie, after being made the subject of an international military action when the world realised that going after Al-Qaeda was "too difficult", might actually seek refuge with Al-Qaeda.

Catchphrase

comment
Catchphrase: "That's Numberwang!" and "Let's rotate the board!" for Numberwang; "Hello, good evening and remain indoors!" for The Quiz Broadcast. Also "Oh, and that's a bad miss" for Ted during the snooker radio commentator sketches. Worth noting that their most notable catchphrases are usually set right at the start of the sketch, rather than having them as the 'pay-off' at the end. This is due to the show's origins on radio, where a catchphrase at the beginning would let the audience know which characters they were listening to right away. "Henni-MORE!" The News live broadcast: "What's your reckon?" The Posh Waiter, Scary Vicar and Intimidating Tailor all introduced themselves in a similar fashion: Not to mention during the Waiter/Vicar/Tailor's rant, he mentions that he and those he worked with saw Webb's character the last time he visited, and they "thought you were a dick/turd".

Playing Cyrano: A sketch revolved around Cyrano himself popping up to help a man woo a woman in the modern day. However, the man in question is a sensitive, good-natured fellow and the woman is, well, a slapper. Cyrano's advice is to be brash and offensive, and downright insulting, which the man in question takes only grudgingly — but it works perfectly. As the scene progresses, he realizes that he has absolutely no interest in going out with a woman who actually likes being treated that way. Cyrano convinces him to go on anyway, since at least he can sleep with her tonight. Eventually, the man refuses to continue, but Cyrano keeps shouting out the lines for him, and jams a bag of cocaine into his hands, which the girl mistakes for his continued efforts and she drags him inside.

Epic Fail: BBC Radio 4's "Man's Hour", an intended counterpart to "Women's Hour".

At the beginning and end of the sketch, it's made clear this isn't the first time the Beeb tried this format and failed.

Take That!: The "Yogurt" sketch is one to Yakult and the like, pointing out it's just yogurt. The two farmers discussing their weird meats mention trying to get their pigs to laugh by making them watch things like Friends or Mr. Bean, only to get no reaction from the pigs. According to the farmers, the pigs understood it, they just didn't like it. One sketch in a episode pretending to have audience interaction tells viewers to down at least three cans of the nearest cheap spirit they can find before The Archers comes on next, to make it more tolerable. The "Story of the Gays" sketch has several aimed at historian David Starkey, who is most well-known for his tendency to say rather... controversial things about non-white people. The "Womanhood Test" has many, including ones at "Sex in the City". A behind the scenes sketch depicting David Mitchell interacting with a fan of a particular sketch (and who wants more of it) has one towards comedians who repeat their jokes.

Amoral Attorney: The Inebriati sketch has Webb's character exclaim, "Yes! I got that guy off that vicious sex murder, even though he obviously did it!" There's also "Speedo", a hybrid of House and Shark, a former defence barrister now working prosecution. When asked why he defended known rapists, he replied:

The Bet
 That Mitchell and Webb Look / int_b5b4b485
comment
A sketch about a comedian making a cup of tea for everyone in Belgium as the result of a bet, and as a result writing a bestselling book about his exploits, was a dig at comedians who did similarly unlikely things supposedly as the result of bets, such as Tony Hawks (played the entire Moldovan football team at tennis, hitchhiked round Ireland with a fridge) David Gorman (flew around the world meeting people called Dave Gorman), and Danny Wallace (spent a year saying yes to everything).

Political Overcorrectness: Skewing the Beeb's need to be impartial on all matters, when even people's enjoyment of the weather cannot go without the BBC getting in someone to offer counter-opinions. And then when the host gets a man's name wrong and is rebuked with "I think I know my own name"...

Hypocritical Humor

comment
Hypocritical Humor: One of the behind-the-scenes sketches has David and Robert get into an argument about cheese that gets progressively heated, eventually turning into a shouting match. This involves David at one point screaming at Robert "You've got a lot of anger! A LOT OF ANGER!!!" The real estate agent who insensitively badgers a woman who works with torture victims for "the worst torture story you've ever had", once she finally breaks down and tells him one off-screen, angrily denounces her for her callousness over taking an afternoon off to look for a house. The fourth series begins with Mitchell and Webb apologising to the viewers for all the humour and filth featured throughout the series. Then... The Incredibly Scary Vicar browbeats the two visitors to his church for their lack of spirituality to the point of eventually chasing them away, screaming at them with a crucifix as if he were trying to expel demons. When they eventually flee, however, he complains that they didn't leave any money for the church upkeep. After brainstorming ideas for their Drama Bomb Finale, Mitchell and Webb conclude that the ideas they've got are too contrived. Then, they go to get some coffee, and have a slow-motion breakdown to being told there's no hot water.

Eleventy Zillion: Parodied in a Numberwang skit involving "imaginary numbers." The contestants offer "twentington" and "frilve hundred and neeb" as their numbers, followed by "shinty-six." The host then stops the contestant and says, "Oh, I'm afraid shinty-six is a real number. As in the popular phrase, 'I only have shinty-six days left to live.'" Behind him, a board displays the number shinty-six (fifty-six with a reversed five). (Given the nature of the Numberwang board, we could have been looking at frilve hundred and neeb, or even Nova Scotia, for all we know.)

Did Not Think This Through: One episode features a mock-PSA from an organisation wanting to set free bears who had been driven mad through being forced to dance in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, they apparently didn't have any plans beyond just setting the bears free, leading to a sequence of other appeals from the increasingly alarmed presenter for help to deal with the ensuing rampage and aftermath. The farmers dealing in exotic meats once tried "Gay Beef". A problem with producing more quickly became apparent.

Precision F-Strike: From the Numberwang board game skit: "No, Timmy, because that would be shit." It looks like a polite, family-friendly scene at first, which is why it qualifies. Mr. Darcy of all people gets a good one when he finally gets sick of Caroline Bingley. A literal example from the "Mrs Patricia Wilberforce Programme" sketch: And an entire sketch that revolves around a series of these: "Linden Trees Smell Of Cum". (Combined with Truth in Television, yet; in bloom, they absolutely do. It's quite striking.) The Avocado Bathroom sketch has the host reveal his problem via a bleeped swear.

The tip off? They've stopped yelling "do it to Julia!" and start yelling "do it to me." One of the workers figures that while there are people who have a legit fear of sex, four or five of them a week is just a little suspicious.

A Nazi by Any Other Name: In-Universe "I advise you to march in step with the rest of the white-bathroom loving nation — REMEMBER, LIKE RACISM!" The Civil War reenactment sketch depicts a group of reenactors who grow bored of Roundheads VS Cavaliers and switch to "the government forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo" VS "rebel militiamen representing Sudanese tribal interests" — in Black Face. They subsequently come to the conclusion that it is indeed racist when the "battle" begins with Webb's character yelling, "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU WITH THIS BIG MACHETE" in a horrible fake accent. When Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan, the Apostles get on his case for implying that a Samaritan being good is so strange that it's worth a whole story and thus revealing his own anti-Samaritan prejudice. ("Me and my wife went on holiday to Samaria last year, and they were lovely people!")

Bitter Wedding Speech
 That Mitchell and Webb Look / int_c92a65bd
comment
Bitter Wedding Speech: A sketch has a well-intentioned best man screwing up a wedding speech and disparaging the wedding, though the groom is surprisingly fine with it after it's finished. It's not bitter in the ordinary sense, just pedantic about how it's all just So Okay, It's Average and not literally the most beautiful/lavish/etc. in the world.

Toxic Friend Influence: Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar is clearly one to Ginger. In one episode we discover that Ginger's real name is Guy Reilly, and he has a wife and daughter, both of whom he lost and seemingly forgot about due to his drinking. When an accident causes him to temporarily recover from his alcoholism, he settles into a stable job, only to be tricked into drinking an ale by Sir Digby, immediately returning back to his life as a tramp just as he was about to reunite with his family.

"Eureka!" Moment: Parodied in the History of Numberwang sketch, where Professor Bertrand Russell, who's spent several hours trying to work out whether he could sit on his chair, finally realises out how exactly one can tell whether something is or is not in fact numberwang... by looking at a jug on his desk. He then smashes the jug to prevent anyone from copying him.

Race Lift: Parodied when Speedo's original actor dies of a heart attack during filming and is replaced by a black actor with no story changes to account for this.

The Other Darrin: invoked Played for laughs with Speedo, in which the actor playing the white main character died, only to be replaced by an black actor. The (fictional) writers were too lazy to rewrite the scripts, resulting in the now black Speedo telling a young black client he knows he doesn't want a "big white guy in a suit" like him defending him. Played for laughs again in the stage adaptation, The Two Faces of Mitchell and Webb. While the televised Numberwang sketches always had Simon and Julie played by Paterson Joseph and Olivia Colman, two fairly well known actors, the stage show had to use James Bachman and Abigail Burdess instead. The change was Lampshaded in the sketch itself:

It's Been Done: Parodied with a possible inversion in the 'two writers' Seinfeldian Conversation sketch; the two writers seem to be setting one of these up, but from the way they eagerly begin to start typing once the 'original' idea has come together, it's suggested that they are either amazingly sheltered or that they're the ones who came up with the idea in the first place. Played straight in the final episode, where all their ideas get this response.

Acting for Two:invoked Played with. In a sketch Mitchell plays both the captain of a cruise liner and a Poirot-esque detective who are on screen at the same time. Webb angrily enters the set, and demands a role, to which both(!) of the Mitchells answer that David is best at detective and captain kind of roles. As Webb retorts that it is just a bad excuse for Mitchell to fulfill his narcissistic fantasies, another Webb (in drag) enters the set and tells the first Webb that he is ready for their sex-scene.

Of course, the executive quickly turns out to be mad (he did say that he had a large part of his brain burned out by a hot wire when he became an executive), so he could be wrong, and, well... it is Numberwang.

Jerkass: Most of the "behind the scenes" sketches portray Robert Webb as one, like in one instance guilt-tripping David into wearing a shirt that makes him look gay, simply to claim he's not homophobic after making some homophobic remarks sometime before, and bluntly dismissing an upset Mitchell's concerns that this would ruin any future attempts at romance.

Period Piece, Modern Language: Parodied in a sketch in which a caveman crime scene investigator (whose most advanced technology is a rock) describes something as "a double-edged sword", then states that he has no idea what that phrase actually means.

Comically Missing the Point: The host of Gardener's Question Time fails to notice the questions being asked of the panel are completely inane and unrelated to gardening at all, like who they'd kill in a garden. When the Only Sane Man is asked a question about a plant with strange mould on it, the host stops him from answering at all because the question pertains to a houseplant and not to a garden. When the questioner tries to rephrase her question, he shoots in down because "we don't deal in hypotheticals".

comment
Brick Joke: Episode 2 of series 3 begins with a company who makes banal hand-holding phrases. The first sketch with Captain Todger has a prominent police banner with one of those phrases (Police - "The People Who Arrest People"). One of the sketches in series 4 revolves around the supermarket Didlididi and its suspicious "produce". One of these can be seen in the food supplies in the same episode's Quiz Broadcast. In series 4 episode 5, the 'backstage' sketches talk about the idea of ending the show in an emotionally affecting way, but ultimately determine that the announcer would just talk over the credits and ruin the mood. In the next episode, the last of the series, the final sketch is a genuine Tear Jerker featuring an elderly Sherlock Holmes... and the announcer doesn't talk over the credits.

Grail in the Garbage: A recurring sketch involves a man at a garage sale casually selling incredibly valuable artifacts for a low price. The Holy Grail itself, for instance, was sold for five pounds, as having already gained eternal life from drinking it, he sees no reason to keep it around. Then there's the wardrobe that's the entrance to Narnia, as now that he has a garden at his new house, he doesn't really need the extra space.
