Two dudes that I’ve never found to be funny in the least, but if you like them, you may like this. I don’t and I didn’t. I’ve been more entertained by jugglers at traffic lights. I think this would be a good venue for these two pasty douche bags.
If you think I'm being harsh, please remember that they've practically made a career out of poking fun at Americans, basically calling us all fat and stupid. This is from two guys that probably can't manage a single push-up between them, or one decent erection. They call other people witless and are not shy at all about hurling insults left and right.
Going to bars to meet women is what Americans do, American men and American lesbians. Amesbians.
How very clever!
It’s almost like they both ad-libbed the entire bit, which still wouldn’t excuse its complete lack of laughs.
They take on some heavy subjects: porridge, pubs, getting dumped, coffee, crappy hotels, non-smokers, and other mundanities. I wish they'd have done a bit on how to shut up.
One of the pasty douches attacks Starbucks, as if they are some evil empire, and he admits he's never been there and doesn't drink coffee.
In a bit about being dumped and what to say to the dumper, “I couldn’t give a tramp’s cock that you dumped me” seems like an odd insult considering how much these two probably enjoy tramps’ cocks.

Short and sweet

If you love Peep Show/Mitchell & Webb you will love this.

Not exactly my thing, a bit dated, but funny enough to listen to the one hour long audiobook.

That was absolutely darling!

Short but funny - reminded me of “That Mitchell & Webb Sound”
September 14, 2020
Cute little short from two comedians who work well together. I read it out of Peep Show nostalgia.

Amusing quick visit with these two comedians as they rather give you entertaining ways to cope in basic and unusual situations.

I just wanted to hear David Mitchell and Robert Webb ranting, and that's what I got.

Fine, but extremely short and nowhere near their usual quality.

Very witty nuggets of advice.

Cute, and exactly what you would expect. I was entertained.

Amusing rants and anecdotes on a variety of topics by a couple of British comedians, fun for laughs.

Funny but at only one hour it’s hard to not feel like you’re missing out

I could always listen to David Michell rant but this seems rushed. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was written in one sitting. Feels like he didn’t want to do it in the first place.

This audiobook certainly confirms the wingeing Pom stereotype. Not even mildly funny unless your definition of funny is to listen to an hour of incessant complaining about various inane subjects.
