James Bond - Comedy Videos

Published October 2012

That Mitchell And Webb Look. Image shows from L to R: Robert Webb, David Mitchell. Image credit: British Broadcasting Corporation.With the new James Bond movie Skyfall out in cinemas and taking itself very seriously (lots of moody scowls and purposeful dialogue), we thought it a good time to dig out some 007 and general spy-related comedy video clips.

Bond is clearly a character ripe for parody, as these clips from the likes of Mitchell & Webb (pictured), Spitting Image, Eddie Izzard and Dead Ringers demonstrate. Enjoy!

Mitchell & Webb


A clip from That Mitchell & Webb Look. It's Casino Royale with a twist:


Dead Ringers


Skyfall is packed with product placement, but it isn't the first 007 movie to have less-that-subtle adverts in it, as this clip from impressions show Dead Ringers demonstrates:


Plus, there's more Dead Ringers 007 mickey taking this clip too

Mock The Week


The comedians on the topical panel show suggest some lines you're unlikely to hear in a James Bond movie...


Mitchell & Webb


Another clip from That Mitchell & Webb Look. This time the duo play a camp pair organising a dinner party - but they're not fans of inviting James Bond along.


Burnistoun


Recent sketch show Burnistoun imagines what it'd be like if James Bond met the locals in a typical Scottish pub:


Spitting Image


The classic puppet show delivered this 007 sketch in its Christmas special in 1989:


Burnistoun


Burnistoun again, as James Bond investigates a series of ingenious gadgets which will help him blend in to local Scotland:


QI


The brainy panel show discusses James Bond a couple of years back. It turns out the spy thinks homosexuals can't whistle:


Fry & Laurie


Stephen Fry appears in this clip too, alongside double-act partner Hugh Laurie. Not technically a 007 spoof, but we do enjoy their deliberately hammy Control and Tony espionage characters:


Alan Partridge


Alan Partridge is expecting Roger Moore, the third Bond film actor, to appear on his chat show Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge, but has to fill time when the star doesn't turn up...


Eddie Izzard


Eddie Izzard jokes about James Bond's gadgets:


Noise Next Door


The boys from improv group The Noise Next Door reveal some different ways that James Bond might kill himself in this quite recent video:


David Walliams


This isn't a comedy sketch, but here's David Walliams talking about why he's a James Bond fan:


Johnny English


And, to finish, it could be said Rowan Atkinson's spy character, Johnny English, is the polar opposite to James Bond - so let's take a look at him:



Hope that was fun!

If we've forgotten to include a classic clip let us know and we'll add it.
