What I love about this sketch is that you can hear the punchline coming from so far off, and yet you are still dying to hear it.
-
As soon as she says "Did they keep you late at the space centre?" the whole thing unfolds with glorious predictability.
-
I love this sketch. They make the punchline, the EXACT punchline, obvious long before saying it, and yet, the tension of waiting for it to appear is hillarious.
-
And then a rocket surgeon walks into the room......
-
someone lost it at "did they keep you late at the space centre"
-
Its the delivery that makes it happen.Β
-
This is so good. You can see the punchline coming from a mile away but it's still so satisfying!
-
"I'm an accountant." "Oh, that's GOOD.."
-
I like how you can tell different members of the audience figured it out at different times
-
Such a classic. I still regularly share this with my coworkers at NASA.
-
The pause and drink after David says 'Brain surgery?' is what makes the sketch. Superb timing.
-
The punchline is obvious but I think the real beauty of this sketch is the timing. Mitchell taking that sip before the punchline just absolutely kills it.
-
the sip he takes from the glass makes this before the punchline
-
I love how the humour in this actually comes from the anticipation of the lines
-
I love the one quick audience member who bursts into laughter the moment the words "space center" leave her lips. 1:29
-
Still some of the best deliveries ever. So many years and I always come back to this sketch.
-
The beautiful part about this sketch is that we see the punchline coming from a mile away and yet...it's still hilarious. These guys are wonderful. Recommend Peep Show as well.
-
I've seen this probably 50 times in 3 years and it still kills me.
-
This might be the best sketch ever made. The way it plays with the audience is masterful
-
What I like is that we only see Jack for a few seconds but instantly get the sense he isnβt a giant prick, but, is self aware enough to know when one needs putting in its place :)
