Either David Mitchell is Slavoj Žižek putting on a funny accent or Slavoj Žižek is David Mitchell cosplaying English as you never will ever see them together because they are the same person.

  Are you referring to David Mitchell the comedian, or the author of Cloud Atlas?

  Or are they both the same person, too?

    The very successful comedian. They both use humor in the same way … they take what someone asserts and then runs very far with the argument to prove how it is absurd.

    It is not that they look alike … it is one was rough-handled out of a communist state and the other is been anxietied from the hearth of a dying empire and yet their humor uses the same structure.

    Sorry just something I actually thought of in the shower

    Neither of them look remotely like Slavoj Zizek

  Tangentially related; I saw a video of Slavoj where he was speaking his native Slovenian, and he didn’t once nervously touch his nose. Seems to be a thing he only does in English, which is interesting.

  That’s more like a fever dream than a shower thought.
