David Mitchell and Robert Webb are British actors and comedians who do a sketch comedy tv show called That Mitchell And Webb Look. The sketch comedy show is a progression from their radio series That Mitchell And Webb Sound. That lead to a tv series called That Mitchell And Webb Situation.
The 1st series of TMAWL aired September and October 2006 and the 2nd series aired February and March 2008. The 3rd series aired June and July of 2009 and the 4th and last series aired July and August 2010. There are 6 episodes in each series. I found the first series pretty funny and thought I would take a look at the rest. I found plenty of jokes and gags. There's a fair bit of swearing and I like that.
The sketches reuse a lot of the same characters from series to series. Some of my favorites are the variations on Numberwang, the rather dodgy promoter Barry Crisp, the drunken snooker commentators Ted and Peter, the totally psychotic Sir Digby Chicken Caesar and his raffish pal Ginger, the Didldidi ads and the post apocalypse quiz show. Sometimes it's surreal and sometimes it's funny weird not funny haha. When it does hit the funny for me I laughed a lot. I didn't see much that made me uncomfortable or too much that I didn't think was funny. Mitchell and Webb are also the creators and stars of Peep Show. I tried watching it before and didn't care much for it. Mitchell's character made me feel uncomfortable and Webb's character is just such an asshole I could hardly stand him. You might like them, the whole bunch are on YouTube so you can find out for nothing. Other than your wasted time. I certainly plan to watch them again, at least once anyway.
