I have... about a million thoughts about this. The outfits. Ben's hair. Jim and his apple. Milk the massive cow. All the stuff going on in the background with the exercise balls. WHAT is this 🤣

THE WAY BEN JUST LOOKED AWKWARDLY AT MAT WHEN HE TRIED TO GIVE HIM A HIGH-FIVE

[imjustanotherjess]

The fact that Rattus Rattus only put up a “this is silly” sign when Mat was talking… you could have it there the whole video 😂

[gummygoo]

Disappointed Mat didn't teach us how to do the Pachacuti

[naly]

I love how they are not coordinated on purpose. Also, those 90s outfits.

What I came for: Awkward dancing. Maybe learning some new moves. Maybe.
What I saw: Chaos!
This must be one of the best things those three have done without cracking up ( Well, I am sure they did, but we just didn't see it).

ben constantly refusing to hi-five mat is my favourite joke now i've decided

[auristarion]

And these here are all men I'd marry in a heartbeat

[alejandragonzalez]

I thought that when I would be a teenager, I would be cool and go out with my friends all the time. Yet here I am, learning Horrible Histories choreos on Saturday nights. The Cleopatra dance is my best one so far.

The random high pitched 'yah' from Ben 😂😂

[Zaft_K]

Mat always has the exuberance of an 8 year old with a new toy! I wish I had half that much energy.

Been searching for this for ages. Love Jim Howicks Mat tries so hard to follow instructions and Ben is just simply fabulous. What a dance class they have concocted. Brilliant. Mats leotard has a life of its

[practiceofpoetry]

This is just as iconic as the actual show

THE AWKWARD STARE WITH JIM AND THE CAMERA WHEN BEN AND MAT FELL OF THE EXERCISE BALLS HELP 😭

[wendy]

The velocity of that ball hitting matt

[mhoney]

I love after ben and mat fall off the ball there's a moment you can see in the mirror that ben's leg was shaking from laughing 😂

[zinc]

this is the pure camp energy of british fun that i, a brit, crave and love.

[rvb]

mat is just a bunch of sticks tied together

[layla.catterall]

ben is looking extra fine in this video

[megcarter]

Brilliantly funny, they are all so straight faced, which makes it hilarious. Mat would be brilliant as the scarecrow in Wizard of OZ...Now there's a thought, we have the perfect casting here Scarecrow, Tin man and Cowardly lion. I leave you to work out who's who. LOL!
