David Mitchell and Robert Webb were the voices of the robots in the recent Doctor Who episode. Recognized them instantly.

[–]AKneelingOx 7 points8 points ago

it took me a little while. it was just as i was about to comment on the curiously camp personalities of the robots that didn't seem to serve a purpose to the story that i suddenly clicked that it was david mitchell. then robert webb made sense and i retracted my complaints.

[–]Kelsomatic 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit, I haven't seen this yet as I don't have BBC America, but I am insanely excited for this right now.

edit: Second to Borderlands 2, of course.

[–]shiftdnb 86 points87 points ago

Funny cause I read it in Sir Digby Chicken Caesar's voice then dadun dadun da da dun

[–]notacute 0 points1 point ago

Oh my god, thank you for this.

Only now I don't think I'll ever be able to stop laughing long enough to answer the phone.

[–]HooterNanny_ 39 points40 points ago

After watching all of Peep Show once again in the space of about a week, David Mitchell and Robert Webb are now my inner voice double act, with their personalities as Mark and Jeremy to boot.

[–]DaaraJ 16 points17 points ago

I know the feeling. I'm American and all my inner-monologues are now David's voice.

[–]ferris501 7 points8 points ago

Right there with you.

[–]windowzombie 4 points5 points ago

After watching the entirety of Peep Show in a week, the inner monologue of my daily worries became his voice. It wouldn't stop!

[–]pedro3131 0 points1 point ago

Have you caught the Mitchell and Webb look? Should do a number on those perceptions for ya

[–]Pheylan 10 points11 points ago

Good news, everyone!

[–]achesst 12 points13 points ago

Nope, sorry. Still read it as David Mitchell.

[–]bvanman 3 points4 points ago

I actually read that in a weird cross between Farnsworth and David Mitchell. Pretty much Farnsworth with a British accent.

[–]goodguysteve 1 point2 points ago

I read it as Dr. Nick from The Simpsons and I have no idea why.

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 6 points7 points ago

It's damn near impossible to read things they say in my own voice

[–]Breathing_Balls 7 points8 points ago

I haven't a clue what you said there, as I don't know who you sound like.

[–]mainsworth 2 points3 points ago

Which is funny, because one is an elegant, refined and deep voice, and the other is a nasally, crackly and high pitched whine.

[–]sc2noob100 1 point2 points ago

He's the guy that does the fantastic "couldn't care less" skit right? I link people to that all the time.

Same here. I see things said by Morgan Freeman and he's like "Why the heck did I randomly say that".

[–]deltaninethc 0 points1 point ago

So true, have not even heard his voice in so long.

[–]KoalaBomb[!] 68 points69 points ago

Here's the video, because I came here looking for it.

[–]Ootachiful 35 points36 points ago

It's blocked in the UK. Crazy logic.

[–]Lleamen 12 points13 points ago

Use this. It works on most blocked videos.

[–]cgimusic 6 points7 points ago

Good guy Channel 4: Find their content on YouTube, only block it in the country where they loose money.

[–]mtkl 2 points3 points ago

You can watch it on on 4od.

[–]mrjimi16 0 points1 point ago

I always find it interesting when different productions use the same sound effects. For example, the door opening sound in this video near the end is the same used in Megaman Legends 2.

[–]vheed44 21 points22 points ago

I was going to get mad at Reddit, because it promised not to repost this.

But welcome to the real world. Thanks for the life lesson Hitler

[–]the_awesome_machine 15 points16 points ago

If two people know something it ain't a secret.

[–]CantLookHimInTheEyeQ 11 points12 points ago

"Three people can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."

My grandfather was Czech and said it's a Czech proverb.

[–]trixter21992251 2 points3 points ago

Gives a whole new meaning to "being good at keeping secrets"

[–]lacampagna 4 points5 points ago

No it's not....just saying.

[–]CantLookHimInTheEyeQ 1 point2 points ago

Well, um, you would know?

I never bothered to research it.

[–]lacampagna 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, I'm Czech, have lived here all my life and I am positive we don't have a proverb like this, sounds like a movie quote or something...

[–]IThinkAbout17 1 point2 points ago

Pretty sure its in the theme song to Pretty Little Liars, if that helps..

[–]SenatorBlutarsky 156 points157 points ago

Peep Show is fucking awesome. Its on Netflix, you should watch it if you've never seen it. So glad there isn't an American version of it, they'd have ruined it.

[–]Daveyd325 65 points66 points ago

There was an American version of it.

It was ruined.

[–]flyingtiger188 55 points56 points ago

Just like the IT Crowd. Talk about the worst american adaption of a british comedy ever.

[–]werferofflammen 44 points45 points ago

The Inbetweeners is going to be up there. MTV ruins everything.

[–]Perkinator 35 points36 points ago

I'm not sure what's more entertaining - the US remake of the Inbetweeners, or being murdered with a hammer.

[–]epsilonbob 16 points17 points ago

The correct response to that situation is "Stop! It's hammer time"

[–]Dracomantis 4 points5 points ago

As a Brit living in America, You know the VERY good Sherlock show on BBC?

Well, America is getting a Holmes based tv series, where Watson is a woman.... an asian woman.... Lucy Lu is watson...

And its a shame because I quite like the guy who's playing Holmes, think I saw him in Plunkett adn Micain.. or how ever you spell it, amazing game.

[–]sola_sistim 1 point2 points ago

America has already had a Holmes based tv series, you might of heard of it, it was quite big for a while, Hugh Laurie played the lead.

If House can be successful, so can Elementary. It's not like there can only be one Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Conan Doyle's characters are some of the most reinterpreted characters in literary history.

Having already seen the Elementary pilot, I'd say the show looks very promising, especially with Lucy Liu as Watson. I'm not sure why you write about Watson being an Asian woman like that's a bad thing.

[–]Dracomantis 3 points4 points ago

I'm not saying it won't be successful.

I'm saying as a Brit, Holmes is my Holmesboy. And Watson has a dick.

[–]sola_sistim -2 points-1 points ago

Fair enough. I'm also a Brit, and I'm oddly fond of the show already, primarily because of the amount of hate it's received by some of the fans of Sherlock who seem to feel competitive. I just can't see another Holmes adaptation as a bad thing.

As for the Holmes thing, Jonny Lee Miller is a wonderful English actor, and he'll do great things with the character. Did you know he shared the roles of Frankenstein/Frankenstein's monster with Benedict Cumberbatch in a recent play? So it's not the first time these two have played the same character.

As for Watson's dick, in 1941, author Rex Stout proposed a tongue in cheek theory that Watson was really a woman in the novels, so it's hardly a new idea. So long as the fundamental personality of the character doesn't change, I don't see why it matters. After all, if Watson can be a mouse, why can't Watson be a woman? :)

[–]bananagrabber83 0 points1 point ago

Johnny Lee Miller is Scottish. Also word on the street is that Benedict Cumberbatch was pretty pissed off with him for taking the Holmes role in the US series.

[–]Wibbles 0 points1 point ago

But Lucy Liu is an awful actor.

[–]sola_sistim 1 point2 points ago

She seemed okay to me. But then, I've only ever seen her in this and Futurama, and in Futurama she was playing herself :P

Perhaps she just has good chemistry with Jonny Lee Miller. Either way, she was fun to watch.

    As an American, I apologize. I don't know why this needed to be remade, I mean we both speak fucking English.

    [–]Czechmix 4 points5 points ago

    Why are you apologizing? You had fuck all to do with it. America-at-large had nothing to do with it. Stop being such a pussy.

    [–]H-Resin 6 points7 points ago

    I saw Inbetweeners on the TV Guide, and I was like "man I haven't seen that in a while!".

    Bad move.

    Goddamn, that was dreadful.

    [–]zombiebunnie 3 points4 points ago

    Inbetweeners was such an awkward show. The horrifying things that occured... it was like watching a train wreck, I just couldn't stop watching it.

    The genius move by the writers though was that after every show, things seemed to pretty much return to normal more or less, playing true to the nature of high school.

    [–]werferofflammen 3 points4 points ago

    Feisty one you are. I literally facepalmed. It was great

    [–]mastermike14 3 points4 points ago

    I loved the UK version.

    I turned the US version off after about 5 minutes.

    [–]Kelsomatic 1 point2 points ago

    Why can't my country leave the glorious pinnacle of entertainment and comedy that is British television alone. Top Gear, Skins, Inbetweeners, IT Crowd, Peep Show. What's next, Doctor Who? Please no. I would go to whatever horrid hell hole of a place that made that with an army of whovians and shit all over everything there. A "shit-bombing", if you will. Just shit on everything, like they shit on Doctor Who.

    [–]The_Jacobian 6 points7 points ago

    Coupling's adaptation was atrocious.

    [–]arienh4 4 points5 points ago

    It happens the other way around as well. Have you seen the British That 70's Show?

    [–]dirice87 3 points4 points ago

    Top Gear and Singles are up there

    [–]H-Resin 9 points10 points ago

    They didn't even do the inner dialogue, apparently. I never saw it (thank fuck), but that's what I've heard.

    [–]robo23 9 points10 points ago

    I love how they completely ignored the concept that the fucking show is named after.

    [–]JoinRedditTheySaid 9 points10 points ago

    I don't get why they would try to adapt it, there is absolutely nothing "too British" about peep show. It transfers perfectly.

    [–]maggiefiasco 9 points10 points ago

    The only thing that doesn't translate is food. As an American watching Peep Show, I had to Google tons of things like Alpen, Twirl, Ribena, Marmite, etc.

    [–]Beanz94 4 points5 points ago

    nice box of crunchy nut...pretty expensive as i remember

    [–]s4r9am 1 point2 points ago

    But they're SO good. I would buy it a lot more if it costed less.

    [–]stopmotionporn 8 points9 points ago

    You've never heard of the glory that is marmite? You poor, sad, deprived fool.

    [–]maggiefiasco 5 points6 points ago

    From what I've read of Marmite, it sounds pretty gross. ><

    [–]s4r9am 3 points4 points ago

    Marmite's slogan is "You either hate it or you love it", which is true. Some people really love the stuff while others hate. I believe the majority hate it but the minority love it enough for the business to continue.

    [–]maggiefiasco 0 points1 point ago

    Indeed! I think that is a fair way to look at it... My assumption was that it was traditional in certain parts of the world. People who eat it from a young age must become accustomed to it. An acquired taste, as they say.

    It's hard for me to imagine an adult from another culture tasting it for the first time and really liking it. Then again, I've never tried it - so who'm I to say? I think I'll stick to peanut butter or jam on my toast!

    [–]s4r9am 1 point2 points ago

    Agreed. I couldn't even finish a bite of a marmite sandwich. It is quite a strong and distinct taste, and I guess some people like that sort of thing. Whatever floats their boat.

    [–]stopmotionporn 5 points6 points ago

    Marmite as wikipedia describes it is an extremely salty sticky brown paste made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. What's not to like?

    [–]maggiefiasco 4 points5 points ago

    Exactly. EXTREMELY SALTY and yeasty sounds gross to me?

    Don't get me wrong - I like beer! And bitter, hoppy, heady beer, at that. But when I'm eating something first thing in the morning, it's got to be a little sweet. Cereal, pancakes, toast with jam, oatmeal, fresh fruit, even just tea with honey and milk...

    Extreme salt, first thing in the morning sounds pretty yucky to me.

    [–]welshsamurai 0 points1 point ago

    Eggs, bacon, hash browns?

    Sweet in the morning is gross.

    [–]maggiefiasco 0 points1 point ago

    My pick would be pancakes, waffles or crepes. ><

    Besides - eggs, bacon and hash browns, while savory, I would not describe as "extremely salty". I keep imagining marmite's saltiness to be like sucking on the bottom of an old pretzel bag.

    [–]Wibbles 0 points1 point ago

    Marmite is our vengeance on the world for taking all the good weather and leaving us with drizzle.

    [–]chmod-007-bond 3 points4 points ago

    You can contextually tell it's a food item, why bother?

    [–]maggiefiasco 3 points4 points ago

    Because of what it means, contextually? Junk food versus health food versus cereal or whatever. Plus, I'm just curious to know what the heck it is they're talking about.

    When I say "I had to Google" I didn't mean to impart a sense of "grrr, I HAD to". It was more like a curious sense of "what's this?" and since pretty much everything comes internet ready, it was not hard to wiki.

    [–]zombiebunnie 2 points3 points ago

    Yes, but since we all are Top Gear addicts we're pretty much all familiar with that... like Bovril.

    [–]VogeGandire 0 points1 point ago

    You'll have to be very careful asking someone to get you a Twirl, who would also suck you off.

    [–]H-Resin 3 points4 points ago

    Well, I think you need to have a pretty dry sense of humor, but I agree mostly.

    Also, if you never paid attention in a history course, you're going to have a bad time.

    [–]JoinRedditTheySaid 2 points3 points ago

    I'm a history student with a mummified sense of humor, so perhaps that helps.

    [–]Fzero21 1 point2 points ago

    Being human is the only good american remake I can think of.

    [–]WtfWhereAreMyClothes 1 point2 points ago

    What? Seriously? What's it called? I'm curious.

    [–]WhatIzThis 4 points5 points ago

    Also on Hulu, all 7 seasons available for.free!

    [–]Sec5ths 16 points17 points ago

    I'm genuinely curious, does anybody else but me find the show a bit depressing? I can't stand awkward, middle aged and socially inept Mark Corrigan. Couldn't get through half the first season because of it.

    [–]Nyeep 28 points29 points ago

    The thing is, that's the point of the show - it's designed to make you feel uncomfortable.

    I'm not sure if any american shows have that sort of basis, but it's quite popular among british sitcoms.

    [–]mainsworth 14 points15 points ago

    The US version of the office is awkward at times, but it's nothing compared to the UK Office which is spectacularly awkward.

    [–]smpx 5 points6 points ago

    American office has developed a special charm of their own, the character really grow on you and you end up liking all of them.

    [–]vulva_nuzzler 0 points1 point ago

    I agree actually. I am British but I just can't watch the UK version as it is just too cringeworthy (by design).

    load more comments (1 reply)

      [–]Sec5ths 4 points5 points ago

      I guess that is the point. It's funny, because a lot of people complained that The Office (US) made them too uncomfortable and couldn't watch it. I could never understand why; I guess I can now.

      [–]zombiebunnie 14 points15 points ago

      The UK version of The Office is so much more painful to watch.

      I mean, Steve Carrell did awesome, but Ricky Gervais was on a different level.

      [–]nobitchingatreposts 1 point2 points ago

      Most american remakes of british shows are way more light hearted, because Americans don't like to feel awkward. British people have awkwardness as a part of their dry humor. American remakes get lightened to the point that they are corny, and then it gets so lame.

      [–]geaw 3 points4 points ago

      It's like Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where you are laughing at the terrible terrible people because they remind you of yourself.

      [–]lilbluehair 1 point2 points ago

      I loved That Mitchell and Webb Look, but I'm with you on this one. Just can't get into Peep Show :(

      [–]vaporizor 2 points3 points ago

      I watched like 10 episodes and really wanted to like it, but its so awkward that its painful to watch

      [–]TDMZ 3 points4 points ago

      Thatsthejoke.jpg

      [–]Wibbles 0 points1 point ago

      There's a style of 'awkward' humour that some people really enjoy, personally I just find it irritating and switch off. It mostly revolves around laughing at the awkardness of someone else rather than an actual joke, but Mitchell and Webb do make some other fantastic stuff...e.g. That Mitchell and Webb Look.

      [–]mcknicker 5 points6 points ago

      "Ah, there she is. Leaving with 'The One.' Not a bad weekend, all told. Got myself a girlfriend, had the best sex of my life, did my bit to delay the age of the 'dawning of Aquarius' with my trusty friend 'The House-brick'."

      [Woman drives by slowly, stern look on her face, middle finger at full attention.]

      "She's giving me the finger. 'The One' is giving me the finger. Ah, yes, that's more like it. 'The One' is gone. The familiar gut punch of pain and confusion is back. Hello, old friend."

      That's why I never tell anyone my secrets. I write them down on index cards. Then I grab a lantern and run out to my backyard. I chop away at some vines and weeds to uncover my Secrets Barrel. I stare at the secret for a moment, and then drop it in the barrel. After taking a shit in the barrel, I cover the contents in gasoline and set it aflame. No one will ever find my secrets. No one.

      I watched ever episode of Peep Show on hulu and now i'd desperately searching for another British show like it. Any suggestion?

      Also does anyone know a good Australian show?

      [–]wakewolfie 5 points6 points ago

      British shows worth checking out.

      'Mitchell and Webb look' is a sketch show made by the guys from peepshow.

      'it crowd' is nerdy and hilarious. Three IT persons awkwardly making their way trough life.

      'black books' A sarcastic, drunk book store owner who hates all his customers and struggles to stay in business.

      'inbetweeners' four horribly awkward teens trying to get girls.

      If you want some older British stuff, try 'black adder' or 'the young ones'

      [–]Snakebyt3 7 points8 points ago

      Skins is what most teenagers want their life to be like.

      Inbetweeners is what it is actually like.

      [–]Chaplin_Wannabe 1 point2 points ago

      if like were like skins, life would be shit.

      [–]wakewolfie 0 points1 point ago

      I never watched Skins as the premise didn't appeal to me. Is it any good?

      Also, for some reason I could never get into the original "The Office". Loved the first few American seasons but idk why the British one doesn't appeal to me. I think Ricky Gervais is just too unlikeable. Michael Scott is a loveable idiot but David seems like a horrible human being.

      [–]Snakebyt3 0 points1 point ago

      Skins had a big following whilst I was in secondary school on account of it being set in Bristol and that being our nearest city (I think a couple of friends even ended up with extras roles). Personally I never got into it myself, as like you said, the premise didn't appeal.

      See I'd get lynched if I admitted it, but I never really found The Office that funny. Don't think it really clicked with me.

      There's few shows that only work with british accents. These do.

      The brits just know how to slum it out and make life look fabulously unglamorous. I think it's the lighting...and the apartments/offices not being ridiculous/and the actors not all being models...or something.

      'it crowd' is nerdy and hilarious. Three IT persons awkwardly making their way trough life.

      Two, two techies and a manager.

      [–]Nyeep 2 points3 points ago

      Try outnumbered.

      Don't watch too much in one go, however, as you will probably get quite stressed out...

      Best part of the series so far? The lying game bit.

      Wilfred is a good one. Also, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is outstanding.

      "The Mitchell and Webb Situation" and "That Mitchell and Webb Look". And "David Mitchell's Soapbox" on Youtube.

      [–]MissMatronic 0 points1 point ago

      There's nothing quite like it. Someone once suggested 'Pulling' to me, saying it was sort of like the lady equivalent to 'Peep Show' but I thought it was only okay. Maybe my expectations were too high.

      Anyway, you can at least get your fill of cringes from the ever-popular 'The Office' (UK) and 'Extras'. And if you ever long for weird camera movement to go with that mean-spiritedness and self-loathing, give 'Green Wing' a shot. Oh! Editing to add that Johnson's in 'Green Wing' as a super-sweet IT guy and it's weird to see him being not-a-douche.

      [–]achesst 1 point2 points ago

      I've said it before and I'll say it again: anything with Mitchell and Webb gets my upvote.

      [–]jdepps113 1 point2 points ago

      If something must be a secret, tell no one. If couldn't keep yourself from talking about it, how can you expect any differently from someone else?

      I love Peep Show. Like most things British (comedy) it doesn't rely on shock value or cheap jabs. It's just well written and well acted. Most of the time I'm not laughing, its just really good.

      [–]Gamer_152 1 point2 points ago

      God, I love Peep Show.

      this ties with The IT Crowd as my favorite British TV shows. but both still lose to Sherlock

      [–]bigoldirtydick 0 points1 point ago

      I could never get over the PoV in that series. While innovative, it just kind of became more annoying than anything.

      It took a few episodes but I'm really liking this show.

      The only way a secret can be kept between two people is if one of them is dead.

      I haven't gotten around to watching Peep Show yet but at least I HAVE seen this picture about five hundred times, so I'll be sure to not laugh when that joke actually comes up. Thanks, reddit.

      [–]itsme_yourdad 0 points1 point ago

      Peep show makes me awkwardly laugh in ways that no other show or person can.

      [–]amigocesar 0 points1 point ago

      I guess this means I have to go watch the entire run of Peep Show yet another time in my several years of waiting for next season.

      I introduced the show to my friend and he told me afterwards that he hates both of the characters especially mark, he called him a worm.

      What?! You mean imitating Hitler is the norm of life? F.U.! Ain't funny at all...

      A secret can be kept amongst two friends - provided one is dead. (Ben Franklin?)

      [–]CriscoMelon 0 points1 point ago

      Upvote simply for Peep Show reference.

      I FUCKING LOVE THAT SHOW.

      [–]Dtsellers 0 points1 point ago

      So glad I began to watch this show, even if I'm several years late.
