Adult comedy 
In the YouTube sketch titled "That Mitchell and Webb Look: Friends of Moneypenny," we see the comedic duo tackling adult themes with their signature witty banter. The clip revolves around the experiences of Moneypenny and her interactions with the infamous James Bond, creating a humorous atmosphere filled with awkward social situations and absurdity.
### Summary of the Sketch
The sketch opens with a conversation about inviting Moneypenny to a gathering, along with some humorous apprehension about her bringing along "that bloke," who turns out to be James Bond himself. The comedic tone escalates as they reminisce about past awkward encounters, notably highlighting Bond's pretentious behavior at social events, such as donning a tuxedo at a casual barbecue and his insistence on ordering martinis in a non-martini environment.
As the plot unfolds, we realize that the characters are both perplexed and amused by Bond's over-the-top persona, particularly when it comes to social etiquette. A notable incident involves a character named Darrin, whose drunken antics lead to a disastrous outcome—a darkly comedic twist in the otherwise light-hearted tone of the sketch.
### Key Moments
"That Mitchell and Webb Look" captures the essence of adult comedy, intertwining sharp dialogues with absurd scenarios that reflect on societal norms and expectations. Their ability to mix humor with social commentary makes this sketch not only entertaining but also thought-provoking in its silliness.
