I’m 80 years old. Thank god I can watch something that can still make me laugh. Thank you Dave Mitchell, thank you Robert Webb. I think I can squeeze another, maybe, 10 years of laughter into my life before any trace of true comedy disappears.
Liverpool fan here from USA! LMAO!
You just know this came entirely from Mitchell
he's just jealous because we won the football.
My colleagues going on about the European championships...
Balls Balls Balls. Footy Footy Footy.
Plenty of glory hunting plastics in my neck o the woods- this gets em perfectly
This is so true... every time someone posts something stupid about HIS team on Twitter doing something you have to wonder how dumb that is.
Just like the RUclips scientists, we recently discovered, or we recently understood how….., like I am expecting them to explain how they specifically helped but no, they just associate themselves with other scientists who actually discovered whatever it was. It would be like a newsreader saying how we recently bombed xyz or etc
Call me Nazi by not calling me a Nazi
Yes the ‘we’ thing has annoyed me for years!
I thought a globe had eight corners.....
The "We" thing kind of went to the wayside at my office when this retort gained some traction among non sports fans: We? Did you suit up and take the field? I missed that part.
We all know he'd be more involved if Spurs had won anything in the last 20 years.
100 % nails bedroom Liverpool fans.
Yeah, the football thing has always amused me - people follow a team based in a town that isn't where they were born or live and that team is comprised of players who weren't born or live in that town either. Wtf? 😅😅
LOL we're hilarious! Much funnier than you Harry Enfield lot!
Almost all Liverpool fans I've met over the years have no connection with Merseyside whatsoever 😂
I think you missed the point
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well if they were then Liverpool would have a population of about 500 million people.
So true. I always refer to any sports team as 'they' - including the team I support.
Seinfeld did a bit about how supporting your sports team comes down to supporting their uniforms - basically, it's all about supporting clothes. But it was obviously nowhere near as brilliant as this beautiful rant I made here. 😂
To say you was part of a film is not the same as saying you are part of football. A film isn't real, football is. We use the term we because us fans are involved as well, especially as we are part of the club as well, the support we give is a big part of what goes on on in football, without fans there is no football.
But without an audience they would have never made those films. So we were involved too.
@@IronicSonics True an audience does make them money like in the football but like I said the film isn't real the football is.
10+ years later this sketch still stops be from saying 'we' when talking about the team I support (Liverpool coincidentally) and 'you' when talking to other people about their team.
Not all sports fans are stupid but I'll bet most stupid people are sports fans.
Even after all these years I'm quite proud of my script for this sketch.
The meta of the metaverse was foreshadowed here. We’re subtle like that. Your show probably uses meta humour in a really cheap way like by having a guy comment on a RUclips video about how “Meta” everything is these days. We’re gonna trolley you in the league!
I have had enough of footy fans too
Good sketch, but people critical of the use of we referring to football teams don’t really understand how football works and what the teams are representative of.
"you haven't done anything to me" My brother in christ you're pouring a shot of whisky at 9 in the morning
"Overpaid players from around the world who temporarily wear the same shirt as you do !" brilliantly summarizes everything about football in one sentence.
Players are for temporary, fans are for life. So yes we are involved in football and.thats why we use the word we.
Typical Liverpool " fan " or any big club tbh
I love that David has underpants and alcohol in his suitcase! Just to start the day off!
Fans finance the team so technically they are a part of the team
The real problem with football today is the fat sad yobs in the stands, not all the money the workers are getting. We need to kick the fans out of football, bring back those empty stadiums, and let the players play for themselves. #MakeFootballYobFree
I'm a Manchester City fan at the moment, although I might be an Arsenal fan next year, or Newcastle - so hard to tell these days.
15 years later and they are even worse!
It's always easy to forget that Webb's character is a hostage negotiator and Mitchell's character writes the plots to adult films.
It annoys me that many football supporters will say “WE have the best defenders, WE won the game” but then suddenly, when their team loses, especially badly, will switch to saying “THEY are hopeless, THEY have the worst players...” Anyway, I’ve just watched Breaking Bad and can I say Jesse and I cook the best meth!
This is my absolute favourite skit that we've ever done. This skit deserves to be more of a meme than the "are we the baddies?" one, but what can ya do? We tried our best.
One of my friends is a Liverpool supporter. If he ever describes that team as "we" I ask what position he plays, his role in the coaching staff, or as a shareholder. You're a customer of that team Tom, not it's owner.
What 7-0?
It's football!!!!!!
I really enjoyed Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I think my proudest moment will be when we win the EPL this year. We might not be The Invincibles, but we are definitely The Irresistibles
This definitely makes much sense in so many ways, and is a reason why I'm glad I'm not nearly as passionate about sports as I used to be! Granted I still DO watch, and follow them, but don't live or die about how my teams do like I once did anymore, once I realized it technically wasn't my at all problem if they lost, nor my doing if they won. Now they're just something I do for fun, and pass the time, as they SHOULD have been for me, and everyone else all along! Trying to make yourself actually think you're a part of a team you only root for, and nothing else is like those who are delusional enough to claim they're suddenly in a relationship with someone who they only know online, and have never really met in person for that matter either! L.O.L.! Maybe you can sort of say "we" if it's either the school you attend, or your country competing in sporting events to an extent. That being even if you still have literally zero impact on what the end results will be, nor is it truly supposed to rock your world in anyway if they do, or don't come out on top. The team's mere equipment managers, and/or waterboys literally have far more to do with how the games go than the fans do! The only way sports would or should ever be able to effect you in actuality is if you maybe happen to personally know someone who plays them (even if you root much more for that particular individual who's just a part of the team in that case, no matter how prominent their role is, rather than the whole squad than anything), and/or gamble on them in anyway, whether it's how a certain team does (or teams if you participate in a pool of sorts), and/or the fantasy roster you put together for yourself. It's also interesting with how others tend to do the same thing with when it comes to their preferred political parties too. That being even if you still root and vote much more for the single most prominent people on (or near) the top of a ticket during a national, and/or statewide race, like a presidential, gubernatorial, and/or senatorial candidate in general. The lone exception is if it's more an off-year/midterm election in both the country and your state, where there are no such politicians to do so with, but rather both cheer, and do your part in order to help the party you both support, and share much more ideas with as a whole, either take back and/or keep control of the chambers of congress at stake instead, as was the case with mine when we were one of the handful of states with no nation, nor statewide race(s) last year. But unlike sports (besides for the few exceptions I mentioned in this post), politics is at least something which DOES directly effect your life much more than them, and fully understand a strongest of passions for all the way. Although that of which is also despite even if your single vote(s) will never be the actual deciding factor in whoever ends up winning the election(s), which would have ended up the same exact way either with, or without it however, no matter how much you might want to believe otherwise for that matter.
I love David's genuine and enduring contempt for football. Poor man still isn't over it
This one's a bit smarmy for me. There's comedy and then there's upper middle class guys dunking on something lots of people enjoy because it's not their cup of tea.
yeaaaah but lets not act like its an "upper middle class" thing, and no one is arguing about people enjoying sports, its the way people get really angry about it and take shit far too seriously and act as if a win from their team somehow indicates something about THEM, when in reality THEY have nothing to do with the team lmfao. support a team, have fun watching football and be happy about your team winning / scoring, but what this skit is actually taking the piss out of is the people who take it entirely too seriously and act as if everyone gives a shit. i had a guy once lord it over me for over a week that his team beat my team despite the fact that i dont actually have a team, but if someone asks what team i "support" i just reactively state the same team as my mother, despite not having watched a football game in the last decade. THAT is what the skit is mocking, not football or an enjoyment of it.
I'm solidly upper middle class and I really enjoyed Raiders of the Lost Ark, especially when we kept our eyes closed while Beloc and the Nazis got their faces melted off.
for godsake shut up
Sports jackasses are the same the world around. We've become a race of spectators.
What we need to do is to engage the spectators in the race, like we did in Death Race 2000
What Im getting is that anyone who doesn't like Raiders of the Lost Ark is a Nazi.
He both has a point, and misses the point.
I'm glad I did the catering for this sketch
