I love that of all these rants, this is the one where David has the most fear and desperation.

[PartVIII]

My favorite rant yet. Funny how you can see the glare from the sweat on David's forehead increase in intensity as he gets himself more and more worked up.

When women go to an event and see another woman wearing the same outfit their night is ruined but when I go to an event a see men wearing the same outfit I think “Awesome. I wore the right thing!”

[billygutter]

"the ugly man will always outnumber the attractive man"

I resemble that remark.

[Panthera]

One of his more energetic rants. Clearly this particular subject cuts close to the bone. Loved it. "Handsome bastards" indeed.

[IAmHermaeusMora]

This is why you are my hero, David Mitchell.

[LiogCeartas]

He is so right. This is why I loved wearing my school uniform as a kid. I wasn't crazy about the way it looked, but I didn't have to put much thought into what I had to wear. The uniform was neither inappropiate or entirely ugly. It was standard and so was everyone that wore it. Of course you had the few girls who hiked their skirt higher and wore crazy colored stockings, but that didn't bother me. Keep it simple and no one can say shit.

The handsome men? They're gone! All gone! What is left is us posh people who are inexplicably still YouTubers!

[carfreelori]

That's so funny..."the ugly man will always outnumber the attractive man". David Mitchell has a very clever sense of humor. I am enjoying these "soapbox" videos!!!!

[ElPlonk]

I was watching a bit of the Oscars the other day and I couldn't help but to think of this. That wonderful feeling that all those women have spent hours trying on dresses and no two women are wearing the same clothes and all men are joyfully wearing the exact same and don't care in the slightest.

[howtoappearincompletely]

This is the sincerest of all Mitchell's soapbox speeches. There's real venom in this one!

[asmosisyup]

I would love for there to be an event like the oscars or something where all the women collaborated and wore the same outfit. That event would be remembered for generations.

[sushantkarki]

10 years later, still makes total sense.

[evildoesnotsleep-xb]

the intensity of this rant is what i most like about david mitchell

[saltech]

2:17 I think Mitchell would be delighted to join the C.I.D. and insist upon wearing a homburg, 1930s moustache, chocolate brown scarf and fawn coat, and smoking a cigar. Like Inspector Japp.

[frankman]

jeez, this clip is 10 years old. Love the internets.

[DrakeMagnum]

The point David makes here I have never heard voiced before. It is 100% perfect.

[NoName-ikdu]

I've been watching a number of these soapbox videos lately thinking I had just stumbled upon them for the first time. But this one awoke a dim memory that I'd actually watched it many years ago. I chuckled at it then, and I chuckle at it now.

[robertjohnson]

Much as I love David Mitchell, the excellent Mr Finnemore deserves some credit in the comments section.

[MrFuddledudd]

That 'mostly thick' line at the end made me spit out my drink with laughter XD
