Its excellent news, particularly given the tragic circumstances around Gunnar Gunnarssonson's death. Helgasund will throw a party, there'll be over 7 attendees!
I don't know hey. I've seen the vids of his from the last 6month or so and like yeah the video production is good but the jokes, writing, trimming all seem off and honestly not great. Nothing against the guy, I like him in this. Some parts videos are alright but erh nothing really outstanding
@@heliumnetworking5103 I don't know what you mean. I've seen a lot of similar channels and he's definitely in the top 10 or even top 5 for me. His stuff feels very British.
I follow alasdair on youtube. His content is usually him adding himself to other things. When I first saw this post I thought he'd deep faked himself into the show. Had to see it was Ovid posting to believe this really happened.
20:04 "She has to shadow Michael Gove - and as he's undead, he doesn't have a shadow." I do not know why this particular line had me in tears like it did, but Angela Barnes generally is a fantastic and very original comedian. I'd really like to see her on WILTY at some point.
How the hell did Gunnar Gunnarsson manage to be so funny so soon after his son had just been murdered? I know they weren't close but still; That's some real dedication to the comedic arts right there!
@@MandleRoss Whatever. We weren't close. Unfortunately, ManDevilson sounds too much like Mandelson and I couldn't possibly accuse a stranger of any resemblance to Peter Mandelson. That would be too cruel.
He seems lovely. I do wish they would stick to comedians, but the straight guests often have nice energy, like James Acaster and some of the female guests. At least it's not Nish Kumar again.
Already watched this on iplayer, but had to find it on youtube as somehow it doesn't seem real when you can't type some waffle underneath it and bask in the illusion of a community. Severed head of John the Baptist ftw!
I ordered Rhys's legendary "Stab proof denim shorts". They're brilliant. They saved my life tonight on the subway when someone was trying to stab me in the butt (for the second time this week). Thank you Rhys. I also liked the "Pregnancy test Coffee mug". Another great product from Rhys who seem to know what people really need these days.
@@frankensteinracing3520 I used a bit of paper, but what we all want to know is this just a fact that ABK already knew or did he work this out when the subject came up?
And, imho, performs better when Ed Gamble isn't appearing in the episode. Love 'em both but Rhys kind of restrains himself when Ed's around. Maybe it's just me. :-/
@@popazz1 He tends to play the little brother role when Ed's on, and to be fair, they bounce off each other in that scenario very well, so I can see why they do it (there was an episode where Tiff was on, where she basically played proud mum to them both playing cheeky teenagers and it was rather adorable :) )
@@newsbeats6041 I would agree that we can be as certain as possible ca. 2000 years after the fact that a man named Joshua/Jesus existed. But the stories around him (bringing people back from the dead, being resurrected himself) are legends, myths, embellished.
Pretty sure the answer to Rhys' riddle is a storm! He misspoke slightly, but storms have eyes but cannot see, plus you'd head inside if you saw one coming.
If anyone remembered my last comment, on the last episode, I had moved indoors from being in a tent for almost 4 years. Currently I'm in temporary accommodation, I went from a caravan in the middle of nowhere, to supported housing, became victimised and was then moved to a secure accommodation. It's not too bad here, got fast internet, a washing machine and everything else I've missed. Thanks to all the support to everyone who commented and gave me congratulations.
For those who are interested. The Duchy of Lancaster is a private estate owned by Her Majesty the Queen, so called because the Queen is the Duke of Lancaster.
Is it just me or has Rhys James evolved? He seems darker...I'm liking it Also I follow ABK on youtube, and I want so much more of him on MTW. I reckon he'd fit nicely
Go Alasdair!
I'm glad he made the reference, because the first thing I thought when I saw Alasdair in the thumbnail was, "Oh, wow, ginger Jesus."
lol
Aaah, now I get it! Need more coffee...
I wondered if Kansas was on tour!
I just wanted his hair! 😂😩
Depictions of Jesus as a white, blue-eyed, blonde man crack me up because Jews at the time were all dark-haired, olive-skinned, & shorter than average (compared to the Romans)!
I am stoked to see Alasdair Becket-King on this show, he's absolutely brilliant.
Ahem, that is "Alastair Becket, King" to you
Loved his stand up challenge bit, nice guy
he's got an excellent flow to his delivery. going to look and see if i can find some of his specials
"he says I shouldn't have told you"
*backs away aghast*
had me in stitches.
@@TheMetalMenace his hair is the comma already
"Sensibly waiting for empirical evidence Thomas" got me so good!
Then you are sad.
Im here for Alasdair. ♡
Me too ^_^
I thought that was Gunderson Gundersonson

Gunnar Gunnarsson!! He’s made the big time, nothing like a spot on a UK panel show to launch a career 🚀
Its excellent news, particularly given the tragic circumstances around Gunnar Gunnarssonson's death. Helgasund will throw a party, there'll be over 7 attendees!
@@JDela10 I thought they were not close though.
@@ptonpc that is true, but its also true that no two Scandinavians on Earth are close.
What about his son Gunnar Gunnarssonson ?
I love how many people are happy Alasdair Becket, King is in this one.
I wish he'd get invited onto more panel stuff like this, he is an absolute treasure!
I laughed so hard at Alasdair's New Testament impersonations. XD
When he messed up the rap the first time, I thought that was the joke. XD
Ha! Same. I was genuinely surprised when he came back for another go.
Me too! When he came back I thought, " cool, variations on a theme!"
Messing up the first time was a fail. Messing up the second time was a fail. Trying it a third time was a fail.
@@ericminch Should accepted the fail and pretended it was the gag.
yeah, made it less funny as he kept going
Alasdair has one of the best comedy channels on YT, he’s brilliant!
I thought this was one of his bits when I saw the thumbnail.
I don't know hey. I've seen the vids of his from the last 6month or so and like yeah the video production is good but the jokes, writing, trimming all seem off and honestly not great.
Nothing against the guy, I like him in this. Some parts videos are alright but erh nothing really outstanding
@@heliumnetworking5103 and here I find his content to be some of what I like the very best on RUclips.
@@heliumnetworking5103 I don't know what you mean. I've seen a lot of similar channels and he's definitely in the top 10 or even top 5 for me.
His stuff feels very British.
The re-do of the rap made me think of Acaster’s “God Damn I love the Peaches!!”

Same!
it happened allright. I've laughed more during funerals than his segments. embarassing.
These other comedians are almost superfluous. Almost.
@@inspectorpouzo I enjoyed them.
@John Griffin Oh I get his style. He does YT videos. If you can call that a style. Otherwise he's about as funny as a...well, an average YT video.
It’s the ginger guy that does the funny videos!
was going to say that
20:04 "She has to shadow Michael Gove - and as he's undead, he doesn't have a shadow."
I do not know why this particular line had me in tears like it did, but Angela Barnes generally is a fantastic and very original comedian.
I'd really like to see her on WILTY at some point.
Canada sends appreciation on the return of Mock the Week.
Britain sends appreciation for Katherine Ryan.
The Netherlands send their appreciation too!
So does Memphis, Tennessee
my man ABK moving up in the world. we love to see it

I could hit the thumbs up, but that would mean more than 7.
@@alecmiddleton1842 Nice to meet another man of culture in these snowy wastes!

I just think about Gunnar Thor Gunnarsson an Icelandic football player who played for my favorite club Hammarby here in Sweden.
Finally a long haired bearded ginger to make me feel represented
he was shite too
Too bad he’s him, and you’re you. Is actuality he’s representing himself, not you.
Frankie Boyle?
Somewhere Tim Minchin is crying.
Sometimes, it’s the simple things in life....like finally getting new episodes! Thanks Ovid!!!
3:28 that comeback delivery from Rhys absolutely kills me
Alasdair looks like a roadie for Jethro Tull, during the "Songs From the Wood" era, who has time-traveled to the current age.
I kind of love this comment. And you're right, he does. lol
Alasdair could be from just about any decade , any century. He looks most out of place in this one and I love it.
That's the best, most obscure, music reference I've seen.
I'm kinda expecting him to start singing Carry on Wayward Son.
Eshaan and Alasdair really played well off each other. That made this episode good for me.
I feel like, comedically, Eshaan is the friend who ACTUALLY fights when you’re just roughhousing with your buddies 😂😂😂
I've never seen Alasdair before but I absolutely love him! Wanna see more of 'm in other shows too!
Watch his you tube channel
I thought he was awful.
OMG, a new series has started! Yay!
Thanks a lot for sharing, friend. :D
I might be the only Kenyan here but I love Mock The Week
Alastair looks like a long haired van gogh.
Oh, nailed it!
He does a bit :)
Heads have rolled for such an impression.
Well played.
I had the pleasure of being at university with Alasdair. He’s a lovely chap 😊
He seems lovely. I do wish they would stick to comedians, but the straight guests often have nice energy, like James Acaster and some of the female guests. At least it's not Nish Kumar again.
Many thanks for the upload :)
Never thought I'd see famous biblical works of art on the show - it was like being at the National Gallery. Uncanny.!!!
That ginger haired jesus looking guy is really funny.
He has his own channel. I've been watching his videos. Alasdair Beckett-King
@@EvaSnyder Alasdair Beckett, King
3:59 You can see in Hugh's expression, he is moments away from blurting out "You see I knew that Rhys.. because I'm not an idiot!" 🤣
Never seen Eshaan before, he's freaking hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Alasdair nailed it in the wheel!! This was a wonderful line up together!

was the second one from the show? that sounds like an intriguing product, Rhys is at the cutting edge.
@@just-tess :))))) No, the second one I made up.
When the joke "1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0 is 170 in binary" I had to check to prove him wrong, only to realise ... IT IS!
Yer I had to look it up. To see.

@@weswheel4834 Go and look for Nelly Cootalot games, there are two and they are both cute adventure games wholly produced by him.
It’s a very niche nerd joke but clever !
My reaction to the joke was: AAh
I think I laughed for 15 minutes at John the Baptise.
Alasdair doesn't even have to say anything, he could just sit there all fabulous.
Bless you, and THANK YOU!
By 'eck, Rhys is brutal when he's given space to let rip. 🤣

Thanks Ovid
YES!!! Been waiting since February! Thank you!
Love seeing Alasdair here. I so look forward to his RUclips videos. It's nice to see his other talents shine.
I just discovered this video today! I've been looking for Series 20 for a while! I'm glad RUclips has finally stopped hiding it!
Thought for a moment we had a new "God damn I love these peaches"
Have ye ever wondered what kinda stuff Dara would come up if he was actually a panellist and not the host?
looks like they've bleached the minions
Thank you so much posting this!
Alasdair rocked it. Well done mate.
I love the old woman in a gaming chair at 1:05
I think Alasdair is the first person on this show who I've previously thought of as "that guy from RUclips".
"Im white and Jesus is....imaginary" OMFG i died
Hopefully, you came back after 3 days...
Learn some basic history. Jesus was very much real. Historian's will tell you this immediately
@@newsbeats6041 I would agree that we can be as certain as possible ca. 2000 years after the fact that a man named Joshua/Jesus existed. But the stories around him (bringing people back from the dead, being resurrected himself) are legends, myths, embellished.
@@newsbeats6041 Jesus is a very common name.
What didn't exist was Jesus Christ, the 'Messiah and salvation of the world'.
im here for Gunnar Gunnarsonson.
Rhys and Angela were properly on fire this one
In the first 'head to head' I thought Eshaan had nailed it ~ Then Alasdair was just absolutely brilliant.
Something I'd like to see would be both Alasdair Beckett-King and Edwin Poots as guests a future episode.
health and safety would not allow
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought, "Look, a ginger Jesus!"
Robot jousting will be the next program Dara will be hosting in 2022.
NGL, would definitely watch Robot Jousting.
Pretty sure the answer to Rhys' riddle is a storm! He misspoke slightly, but storms have eyes but cannot see, plus you'd head inside if you saw one coming.
Welcome back Mock the week, been missed and great Thanks to @Ovid ! Eshaan killed it in this episode ! why do i keep getting ooohed
Aaahhh.. what a soothing sight to see MTW thumbnail on your newsfeed ❤️ missed it a lot
the eurovision joke just got even better now that Britain just got 0 points in this years competition
Thanks for the upload greetings from Costa Rica 😎 stay safe 👍👌
I truly, truly wish I could get this in America - if it wasn't for RUclips, I doubt I'd be able to watch this lovely show at all...
Thank you so much from a long, long way away.
Nice to see ABK on, the guy is amazing on RUclips. He should get a sponsor for those locks alone.
I like that alasdair basically becomes a second hank and that’s all I could ask for really
Falklands ...
Chernobyl ...
Hasselhoff at berlin wall ...
I love this topical newsquiz ... ; )
Thank You Ovid!
Whoever that Alistair Beckett-King is he's great, they should look at having him as a regular
10:30 when you go in for a hug you smell the other person's hair and say "you smell different when you're awake" totally freak someone out 🤣
Thank you for posting!!! Ovid, You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks from Australia!!!
This show keeps me sane during my Canadian lockdown due to covid.
If anyone remembered my last comment, on the last episode, I had moved indoors from being in a tent for almost 4 years.

Fab news Baz!! Hope things keep moving in the right direction for you
Bless you brother.
Wow real drama on the internet
Legendary guys, thanks for making my Friday morning hilarious
Yasss new series!!!
Alasdair is funny, loved his standup! Also his hair is amazing.
Alasdair Beckett-King reminds me of the late great Kenny Everett.
For those who are interested. The Duchy of Lancaster is a private estate owned by Her Majesty the Queen, so called because the Queen is the Duke of Lancaster.
OMG, if Alasdair doesn’t become a regular, I’ll be so disappointed... 🤣
Just randomly checked to see if there was a new episode what luck
hopefully therell be a cut of this but its just abk
The wait was worth it and thank you very much
Thank you for posting
Alasdair made two jokes that got to me just because i really wasn't expecting them. "because i'm white..." made me snort, but Quincy took me out
Rhys James "Until what age did I think cats were female dogs" rings true ... a Welsh friend admits that as a child that is what he thought.
Whole new series, still in the dip 😂😂😂
Wonder if it's the same as the holler in the US south.
Alasdair Beckett-King! Alasdair Beckett-King!
29:30 He lives in the crisps, doesn't he?
YES exactly what I thought!
thank you ovid!
I have no idea why, but I have an ever increasing crush on Maisie Adam.
For some reason I think he should be called Alistair McAllister
Alasdair looks like a black metal musician that refused to dye his hair black. not an insult just an observation.
Mr. ABK really nailed it.
Omg happier I couln't be.
Thanks for posting these.... my ipad IOS is not valid for the iplayer app anymore ..
Is it just me or has Rhys James evolved? He seems darker...I'm liking it
