100 Youtube Videos - No. 5 - Brenda, you're looking perfectly acceptable

Jul 06, 2012 05:58

If you're from the UK, you've almost certainly heard of David Mitchell, but you may not know that he has a whole series of Youtube videos, entitled David Mitchell's Soapbox, in which he rants (in a gentlemanly manner) about all those things that so annoy us. Or him. If you're not from the UK, then all you need to know is that David Mitchell is a well-loved comedian who participates in various panel-style quiz shows, does a little stand-up and is generally a sort of awesome, snarky, terribly British person.

I find I can while away many hours listening to, and generally nodding along with, David's rants on a variety of subjects. Sometimes I heartily disagree with his opinions, but I still appreciate his lovely way of...well, moaning. The video I am going to share with you today has been picked relatively randomly from among his rants (and is actually one that I don't particularly agree with, but very much enjoy listening to). I'll leave a few links for other suggested rants you may wish to look at, and I will also be saving up one of them to post another day, alongside a personalised Laura-style rant about GRAMMAR. But for now, please listen to David debating the complex matter of giving compliments.

It's also worth checking out David's opinion on Signs (Beware the 'POLITE NOTICE'), and Passion (Taxes, Sofas and Small Business also covered).
