"Although I've no real alibi. I was at home having weak tea and a lemon slice." I have no idea what his brain is doing, but Noel (and Mike too) are some wild and crazy guys.
Well, his brain, in this instance, was parodying Alan Bennett, continuing the theme of dramatists. In the wider context he is employing the technique of a serious narrative juxtaposed with non-sequiturs for comic effect, in the style pioneered by the Monty Python team. So, in many ways, everyone was 'expecting' "ice cream eyes", it is merely a mild variation on a well worn surrealist track
Honestly these skits are one of the funniest thing I've ever seen, the delivery is perfect. Definitely in the top. "I only have 1 clip and I use that for the breaded onion rings."
Every time I use a bag clip - and it's not an uncommon occurrence - I mentally remind Ice Cream Eyes that I can't stop the green spherical avalanche because I'm using it for the breaded onion rings.
I like to imagine that the City Gent works for the ministry of Culture or smth and it's his job to make these speeches and he'd always been reasonable and logical in his statements until he bought that freezer in which Ice Cream Eyes lives and now he's the only thing on the City Gent's mind. I believe there's some sort of tragic one sided attraction taking place here.
His wife left him, blames ice cream eyes. Flat tire, that sum'bitch ice cream eyes. Building catches fire, you guessed it, the note under the door guy...🤷
at my school's convocation a couple days ago the provost said the exact same line about the latin roots of education. I can only fantasize that that city gent enjoys this show
richard's character:politician or influential adult speaker. icecream eyes: a small child/teen giving their opinions about life but in a very immature and misinformed way [they are a child,after all.]
'My pockets have been wet through'...Some of these responses are a bit horrifying, like the pervert in Joyce's Dubliners with glassy green eyes. Amazing job.
So if you don't know what I was thinking, you don't really know it doesn't aproximate what you were thinking? Joyce is at least heavily referenced here, the kid falling off a swing? The humour uses bathos, a kind of comic anti-climax. I guess that is where the kid and the swing come into it. But i really dont give a fuck about whatever you might think @@aporue5893
in case you don't get it- the main character speaking represents some sort of intellectual speaker /or politician and mainstream opinion. Iceream eyes represents a small child or teenager with differing views and opinions and possibly very little understanding of the world they live in,tony printout represents a lazy office worker who is bored and trapped in his job but carries on ''the grind'' because the mainstream trend demands that[this could be a reference to the 80's and ''big booming businesses''] . ''eugene's secret note passed under the door'' represents a troublemaker that often gets others in trouble and refuses to take any responsibility.
we all know that the elders alwas blame the youth for anything wrong. yet, the elders are the ones whom create the dross in the forst place. The biggest pathology is the assumption that youth is innocence.
lithiumissick42 I believe he says "sandy writer" though I'm having trouble finding what the British pejorative meaning of the word is exactly. If I were to take a guess, I would assume it means little substance, a lot of fluff.
all of the characters represent some kind of person in soceity,it's not so weird when you realise it. ''tony printout'' represents an office worker [a particuly lazy one] and ''icecream eyes'' represents the youth.

Oh Eugene Secret Note Passed Under the Door, to think I almost blamed Ice Cream Eyes.
''oh icecream eyes.''
''YEAH!'' -icecream eyes

Clearly you’re a peenus!
When I re-watch this I always get drawn into City Gents deconstruction of modern culture.
I like to imagine that the City Gent works for the ministry of Culture or smth and it's his job to make these speeches and he'd always been reasonable and logical in his statements until he bought that freezer in which Ice Cream Eyes lives and now he's the only thing on the City Gent's mind.

Bless you for the thought you've put into this.
@@blackmoon9793 I've been thinking a lot about it, you know
You cracked it.
His wife left him, blames ice cream eyes. Flat tire, that sum'bitch ice cream eyes. Building catches fire, you guessed it, the note under the door guy...🤷
"I had a good day today, I wrote a word"
2 people disliked this video. I blame Ice Cream Eyes.
Oh, Ice Cream Eyes...
third scene Richard's voice is so smooth and velvety
At first I wondered if this was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. And now I think it’s the absolute best.
Richard's voice is so sultry
One of the best comedy pairs.
at my school's convocation a couple days ago the provost said the exact same line about the latin roots of education. I can only fantasize that that city gent enjoys this show
''oh icecream eyes, grow up.'' *wheezes*
Every time he says "oh ice cream eyes" it sends a shiver down my spine (no pun intended)😂
Lysergic acid diethylamide-25 is a remarkable substance.
Why do I feel like I've had a stroke?
...'to hold quill.'
Brilliant
there should have been WAY WAY more of these
richard's monologues remind me of reggie watts.
This isn't scripted, is it. This is Richard Ayoade riffing and ending with "... ice cream eyes"
this is pretty much what adult swim is at 4am.. except its 11..
I LOVE YOU RICHARD!!!
Oh ice cream eyes!!
How did this take ten years to get to the recommendations?
I’m as baffled as you are - views are through the roof the last six weeks
''there was a rip in one of the green pea bags'' totally sounds like something a 12 yr old would complain about to their mum lol
Imagine what people who don't get British humour are thinking of this lol :D
Right here...
I have no idea what's happening
I get British humor...and I have no idea what's going on.
@@redgreen82 Are you born and bred British?
@@MrHowardMoon no, but I'm a fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Office and The IT Crowd.
Like Flying Circus, only much weirder.
You missed a damn trick naming “Adam Printout” and not “Freddy Printoff”
''it coudln'tve been me!'' *smiles*
What's this and how have I stumbled upon it?
Was it fate? Have the gods blessed me with the visualization of Perfection?
''oh icecream eyes.''
weirdest fucking thing ive ever seen. love richard and noel tho
richard's character:politician or influential adult speaker. icecream eyes: a small child/teen giving their opinions about life but in a very immature and misinformed way [they are a child,after all.]
icecream eyes is a child/teenager. the response explains it
Is it just me or does Eugene Secret Note Passed Under the Door look quite a bit like Matt Smith
same.
Well, this is certainly odd, having just seen a clever guy making ice cream bread.
'My pockets have been wet through'...Some of these responses are a bit horrifying, like the pervert in Joyce's Dubliners with glassy green eyes. Amazing job.
I interpreted that as a kid on a swing falling on wet tarmac,not whatever you were thinking of.
So if you don't know what I was thinking, you don't really know it doesn't aproximate what you were thinking? Joyce is at least heavily referenced here, the kid falling off a swing? The humour uses bathos, a kind of comic anti-climax. I guess that is where the kid and the swing come into it. But i really dont give a fuck about whatever you might think @@aporue5893
I think it's an Alan Bennett monologue character.

2:18 Sounds like George from Rainbow 🤣🤣🤣
This is beautiful.
I recognise that voice anywhere
I LOVE THIS BIT!
I’d like a drink with Adam printout
''personally,I blame icecream eyes''
''ur'e a penus'' LOL that always gets me!
That freezer is full of country goodness and green peaness.
Indoctrination... Oh Ice Cream Eyes.
well i think ive had enough of the internet today
onision got back on youtube.I blame icecream eyes....
Printout sounds like salad fingers....
All improv...
what show is this from? My desire to know more intensifies
What in the flying fuck did I just watch, like half of this shit is just noel fielding Turing into the godhand
It's Richard Ayoade, or at least I think that's how it's pronounced 😆
found this video by searching for "The Edward Andrews show" like if you agree
he thinks john osborne is a very what kind of writer?
lithiumissick42
I believe he says "sandy writer" though I'm having trouble finding what the British pejorative meaning of the word is exactly. If I were to take a guess, I would assume it means little substance, a lot of fluff.
+Dirty Dan That seems to make a lot more sense.
"samey", as he often bangs the same drum
"Same-y" I believe
2:08 salad fingers did what?
all of the characters represent some kind of person in soceity,it's not so weird when you realise it. ''tony printout'' represents an office worker [a particuly lazy one] and ''icecream eyes'' represents the youth.
Lol IT Crowd actors!
Acid, eh?
What the fuck is going on? ;D ;D ;D
he is such a freaking fogie... lol jk :)
This wasn't funny at all.
Well thank you for offering your opinion. Will try harder next time to entertain you.
Oh Kendrick Llama, grow up. To think I almost blamed it on Ice Cream Eyes.
He only has one clip and he is saving it for the breaded onion rings. Budget i$$ue$.
Really? I'm not buying it, llama.
you don't get it.
richard and noel are my absolute faves.
...teetertottering between genius and insanity...
i see richard, i click
Oh ice cream eyes
Grow up
@johnniemak83 yeah, movavucka! *smiles*
