That Mitchell and Webb Look retells the familiar story of the good Samaritan in a way that I think will appeal to the editors of the Conservative Bible Project.
Mitchell and Webb are two of the better comedians around these days.
I’m a huge fan and am pleased to see they are known in the US. Where are they shown there?
I don’t know if they are except perhaps on premium cable channels like BBC America. I stumbled across them on the internet and now periodically search for new clips.
Aaaand I just lost the last 2 hours watching Youtube clips of “That Mitchell and Webb Look”. How have I never heard of this brilliance before?
Is the em tag meant to be everywhere?
No, sorry, I forgot to close it. It has been corrected. Thanks.
Netflix has three seasons of TM&WL, or at least the Canadian Netflix does, eh?
They are also in a very funny (and quite odd) sit-com called Peep Show together which was on our Channel 4.
David Mitchell is on lots of things and is currently hosting a panel show on BBC Radio 4 called “The Unbelievable truth” which is very good. If you can access either I’d recommend them.
And I just LOVE this one…

You didn’t lose two hours. You were enriched.
My favorite Mitchell & Webb sketch: Homeopathic A&E.
Bad Mano!, I had to change my pants AND I almost choked.
Hilarious!
Mitchell also has an online series of video rants called ‘soapbox’ which has some good stuff.
Yep. I’ve always hated the term “good Samaritan”. It *is* really racist. It’s just that there’s hardly anyone who is Samaritan anymore to complain. The parable itself isn’t quite so bad though--it’s just about treating people who aren’t in one’s traditional in group with decency.
