Mock The Week - James Bond Would Never Say In this humorous segment from Mock The Week, hosted by Dara Ó Briain, the comedians riff on the classic James Bond persona, creating fictional scenarios and outrageous quotes that Bond would never actually say. This blend of sharp wit and comedic genius showcases the show’s unique brand of stand-up comedy.

Overview​

This particular episode features notable comedians like Frank Boyle and Hugh Dennis, who offer a hilarious take on what a "non-Bond" might say. The humor often stems from the absurdity of the situations they craft, where traditional espionage and glamorous scenarios are replaced with mundane or even ridiculous alternatives. Here are some highlights:

• Health and Safety Risks: One standout joke involves Bond being asked to fill out a health and safety risk assessment, which shatters the tough-guy image typically associated with the character.
• Everyday Objects: Comedic lines like, "I’ll have an egg roll scrambled, not boiled," juxtapose the high-stakes world of espionage with the everyday banality of life.
• Cultural References: The comedians also integrate cultural icons and parodies, addressing topics like fast cars turning into Ford Focuses, further enhancing the humor by grounding Bond's world in the relatable. This segment brilliantly uses the structure of a well-known narrative (the Bond films) and plays with audience expectations. Rather than being about daring escapades and sophisticated dialogues, it’s about the mundane tasks and silly comedic elements that could turn a classic character into someone very ordinary.
