'''''That Mitchell and Webb Look''''' is a [[The BBC|BBC Two]] [[Sketch Show]] starring [[David Mitchell]] and Robert Webb, best known for their characters Mark and Jeremy in [[Britcom]] ''[[Peep Show]]''. Run from 2006 to 2010. Recurring characters tend to be limited to one series, although some (such as [[The Full Name Adventures|The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar]]) have run for longer. The sketches are occasionally intercut with [[Faux Documentary]] "[[Two for One Show|behind-the-scenes footage]]" of the comedians, featuring much [[Lampshade Hanging]] and [[Self-Deprecation]], and [[Zig-Zagging Trope|zigzagging]] between mocking and playing up their respective [[Smart Guy]] & [[Man Child]] personas.
The series was [[Sound to Screen Adaptation|adapted from the radio show]] ''That Mitchell And Webb Sound'', and the pair had previously made a short-lived TV [[Sketch Show]] called ''The Mitchell And Webb Situation''.

* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: Twice in the [[After the End|Quiz Broadcast]] statements - first when everyone but the main three has simply succumbed to the harsh conditions of the collapsing society, then, after being found again, when [[Zombie Apocalypse|They]] kill everyone but Peter and the host before inexplicably disintegrating, leaving the two of them alone and extremely disturbed.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: A woman gets progressively better hair & make-up, and more cleavage, as she confesses to murder. This is, [[Deconstructor Fleet|of course,]] lampshaded and invoked.
