Tweeted by User Number One himself, a creation of Matt Round: Meta Mitchell & Webfilter, pairing a Mitchell & Webb sketch to almost any (every?) Metafilter post topic.
Well, until you click Comic Sans, anyway.

I love Mitchell and Webb and have most of their catalogue memorized. I look forward to reading this later.
I've often found similarities between David Mitchell's Soapbox topics and MeFi / MeTa posts, as well.

My partner in Canada says that basically this does not work there, because the videos are all blocked.

He must be in a different Canada than the one I'm in right now, because none of the videos are blocked for me.

Will using this site make me less likely to say "Can you smell cum?" whenever I see a lime tree, no matter how inappropriate the situation?

"Nothing about cats?!"
I've just changed "pet food" back to "cats" especially for you, and added "Victorian" for ambrosen.
(Originally I was going to allow for multiple topics per video and multiple videos per topic but then decided it was better to Keep It Simple & avoid people seeing the same videos again & again)

For a minute there I confused Mitchell & Webb with Shields & Yarnell, and was trying to figure out why there was so much dialogue.

Meanwhile, most MetaTalk threads can be paired up with sketches from The State.

Dear Malevolent:
Could you possibly code in some sort of small random chance that clicking on any tag might just take you to the Sherlock Holmes sketch? I really love the idea of springing that on someone who wasn't expecting it. Or who was expecting it, but is compelled to watch the whole thing anyway, and then their day is ruined.

Great, now how am I supposed to get anything done this weekend?
One tiny quibble: "Brain surgery" is listed (of course) but "rocket science" is missing! Not only is it the best part, there must be a billion rocket science posts.
I think user That's Numberwang! should get a shout-out of some kind. Linking to posts or comments would be kind of weird, but it always makes me happy when I see her user name.
Oh, just noticed the video linked to "innuendo" is no longer available.

This is a work of beauty. I had never seen the kidkat sketch before so I'm up on the day already.

Can't bear those long weekends and odd weekdays when no salacious comic fauna seem forthcoming?
