If you want to laugh, watch this Mitchell and Webb sketch about inviting Shaggy and Scooby Doo to a party
No one is weirder at a party than those two, apparently.
Hello kids. This is a very short post whose only intention is to provide you with access to the following hysterical sketch from That Mitchell and Webb Look, the British sketch show featuring the comedy duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb. (If you’re having dé·jà vu about reading a similar post about a Mitchell and Webb Look sketch… it’s because you probably did read one such post. Apparently Mitchell and Webb are the official comedians of CrimeReads. So it goes.)
Anyway, in this skit, Mitchell and Webb play two guys coming up with a list of friends to invite to a party. But they realize that if they invite Freddie, Daphne, and Velma, they’re going to have to invite Shaggy too. And that presents a problem.
For what it’s worth, much like last time, I laughed so long and hard. And, also like last time, I needed it.
