Mitchell and Webb - Pet Hospital In this comedic skit from the duo Mitchell and Webb, titled "Pet Hospital," viewers are taken on a darkly humorous journey through the absurdity of an animal care facility that seems more concerned with delightful meals than the lives they treat. The video cleverly depicts veterinarians who use unconventional methods to care for the injured animals brought to them. The sketch opens with the statement on the state of animal welfare today, humorously exaggerating the dire conditions in which some pets find themselves while being treated in this fictional establishment. For example, one of the veterinarians is tasked with treating a gunshot wound to a pheasant, using what appears to be a salad made from olive oil, rosemary, and salt, highlighting the bizarre blend of culinary and medical practices prevalent in this whimsical environment. The comedic futility culminates in the tale of a lamb that faced a series of unfortunate surgical decisions ending in amputation after amputation, creating a laughable yet tragic commentary on the misunderstandings in animal care. The skit certainly walks the line between humor and horror, making playful jabs at both veterinary practices and the culinary arts, leaving viewers amused yet shocked.
