Modern teen talk and the WWII pilots

Comedy comes in many ways, and one of them is taking something and transposing it in an unlikely environment. The British comedy team Armstrong and Miller have been mining a vein by taking the rap-infused slang of modern kids and putting it in the mouths of World War II pilots, albeit with a bit of polish.

In this sketch, the fall guys are another team, Mitchell and Webb. A language advisory: this is not for the youngsters.

Funny, innit? Er, that should be ... isn't it?

Life and death at the new age ER

From the comedians at the UK television series That Mitchell and Webb Look, a sketch on what would happen if the people who believed in the healing properties of ever-diluted tinctures and of quartz took care of trauma patients. Stick around for the beer at the end.
