Jimmy: "You can't fall out with everyone, Mel!" Sarah, laughing awkwardly: "Yes she can!.." This is probably my favorite line in context from Big Fat Quiz EVER. XD
I still prefer to watch this one with her in, even though I hate her, as the other video with her edited out,took away like 20 mins of the show. Everyone in the comment praise the uploader for just simply editing her out of all of Micky's shots, but he didn't just do that, he took away many of his and others shots as well just to simplify things (as soon as someone talked to her, that was taken away too, like Ayoade's funny banana thingy and much much more). So a lot of talk and funny stuff is missing from all guests, that's not missing in this video. "worth it", some might say. I still wanna see it all.
I feel SOOOOOO bad for Mickey. He is a genuinely big hearted, talented comedian and he got a shit teammate. I'm so glad everyone just kind of stopped putting up with it. Sort of a vindication for him. And Jimmy is enough of an asshole that he called it out right away!
@@erictim9052 At first I found her absolutely intolerable, but rewatching this know I agree. She's maybe a little (a lot) tone def, but it's totally fine.
I’ve watched this a few times, and i always have the same feeling. I think Mel B was actually going for “humorously bitchy”, but just didn’t quite land it.
I dont think she was going for humour at all. She was genuinely disgusted more than a few times through the night. She seems extremely uptight and snobby
I know its been said a thousand times in these comments but I really don't like her here. I can't speak for her on anywhere/thing else she's known for but I've seen this episode a few times and she really doesn't seem to want to join in the fun, nor let anyone else have any. I know it's several years old but "I'm so confused, why is he eating a banana?" just got to me. Is that a trick question?
@@ChaosDave2 haha if it helps I’m 45 and don’t know a single Black Sabbath lyric, song or album 😊 Glad we’re all here to help each other cover our blind spots 😆 Happy new year!
I love seeing Jon Snow dance that badly compared to later years. It means he probably practiced his dance skills, and I like to think he did it purely because of the small segment twice a year for these quizzes.
Idk what was up with Mel B, if she was having a bad day or just a different sense of humor, but everyone adapted really well to her. This is one of my favorite episodes to watch, thanks for uploading!
@@lavrentivs9891 I actually think she was fun. She certainly decided after a bit to just roll with the oddness. I mean she was "Scary" spice not Miss Congeniality!
I saw the comments of this episode on another channel and they made it seem like she was really unpalatable so I skipped it. This comment section is much nicer so I decided to give it a go, and I'm glad I didn't find her repulsive all. I've seen her a bit so I know she's always had a bitchy persona, this much is exactly what I expected from her. What matters is how people around her react and I applaud Micky for handling her well.
@@de-fume I think it was mostly a persona she was playing. Clearly there was still chemistry between her, Micky, Jimmy, Sarah. I'm sure there was more that was edited down that might have been less "contrary", but conflict makes for good TV. :)
I mean c'mon did u jst think that God wud give you a pair of two nerds with some absolute mean sense of humour and another pair of thick accented people who can make you laugh in jst a few syllables and not take anything away from you. Tbf i love goth detectives but that kinda energy could've destroyed this entire fun . This episode was one of a kind. Absolutely loved it😘😘
I have to assume that most of these Mel B comments were made within the first 15-20 minutes of watching the video, she starts out awful and annoying but honestly I think everyone figures out how to deal with her (namely Jimmy, Mickey, and Richard) and she realizes where she is and tones it down a bit pretty early on. Saying skip this episode altogether is crazy to me, there’s so many great moments, I think it’s on par with any other episode once you get past the first round or so.
Currently using this as background noise and when Mel said "why is he eating a banana" at 7:37 I was eating the last bites of my banana. I love coincidences like this!
Mel B had no idea what she was getting into. She was like I'm funny on a group of people that aren't funny in sure I'll be fine on a show that typically has comedians being unrestrained among fellow comedians (which is when they are at their best imo)
Some context to the Japanese politician. In the culture it's very important to show huge amounts of remorse and castigate yourself publicly should your misdeeds be exposed. Even if what you've been doing is known by others, you're only needed to do it if you've brought shame, embarrassment, or trouble upon your employer. It was the same for the girl from the pop group AKB-48 when she uploaded a video of herself shaving her head after she was exposed as having a boyfriend, something the members are not supposed to have even though it's pretty common for them to be in secret relationships. Japan's an interesting culture, I can't wait to move back to my own country though.
Having lived here quite a while and seen a number of public apologies, I agree that they are expected to clearly show the level of their remorse (genuine or otherwise). However my impression has always been that they're expected to do it in a much more controlled manner, through the words they use and especially their body language, consisting of deep bowing or even kneeling on the floor. I think most Japanese people, especially those in positions of authority, would find it almost unimaginable to wail and cry and lose control like that, even in front of their family or closest friends. The fact that that guy did it at a public news conference is pretty good evidence that he was in the midst of an emotional breakdown...
Mel B looks like the type of person that says a joke that doesn't land well, and immediately responds to whatever comment comes after with "That wasn't funny" as she turns her back on you at least once a day
Fel. We have many great comedians. Such a show would probably cost to much to have our best on it. Where as UKEs comedians are more affordable , less spread out and granted, a bit more witty for such a show. Skål🍻
Was that the one and only time they had Mel B on? I love this show (only seen a few so far) and it was just as good with the others' reactions to her comments and attitude tbh.
It works that Mel B is this way Is actually a great program compared with more recent episodes. This show success is based on the characters and not the trivia
I don't have a problem with Mel B on this one because Corden could have been in the seat : P Also how could you keep up with a group of top tier comedians? It's like trying to fit in on a basketball court with NBA players.
Amen. And I found her contrariness to be kinda funny. She lost her mask later in the quiz. I've seen her on other stuff and yes, she's a bit of a diva, but like you said, Cordon has been more attention-seeking than her.
The fact that this show has been edited to digitally remove Mel B(wonder what the B stands for) by someone on the internet is proof enough of how f irritating she is 😂
The fact that they're adding laugh track is painfully obvious in retrospect. The after first send volume so suddenly it fades away so suddenly it's obviously a laugh try added in post and they should have just left it out
It’s totally inexplicable, but “I’ve got a brand new combine harvester” is one of my favorite answers from any of the Big Fat Quizzes
Because it’s a great song!
Jimmy: "You can't fall out with everyone, Mel!"
Sarah, laughing awkwardly: "Yes she can!.."
This is probably my favorite line in context from Big Fat Quiz EVER. XD
Ikr?! So funny
I'm pretty sure they pulled Mel B aside on the next break and told her to relax... And it seems she took it to heart.
It would have been really ballsy of her too, if Mel B had understood the joke
Search "Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2014 (Without Mel B)"
Someone was so annoyed by Mel B they edited her out and left Mickey sitting alone
Thank you!!!!!!

That’s great! I tend to avoid re-watching this episode because of her but the rest is good
Hahaha
I love the looks of increasing amusement that cross Mickey's face every time Mel gets upset by something!
Having David and Richard on one team was just too much for the universe to handle, so they had to balance things out with a grumpy Mel.
Just imagine:
Richard Ayoade with David Mitchell, Noel Fielding with Russell Brand, and Jonathan Ross with Rob Brydon.
@@SteveDice21 A girl can dream.... (to be clear, the girl in this sentence fragment is me. I am "A girl" here)
She deffo puts the B in Mel B. It was, in her defense, unkind to put her amongst intellectuals. Of course she would get upset and lash out. 🍿
@@SteveDice21 Russell Brand has gone off the deep end now, though.
This makes me a horrible person but I laugh so hard when they're throwing Spice Girls references at Mel to get back at her.
I feel SOOOOOO bad for Mickey. He is a genuinely big hearted, talented comedian and he got a shit teammate. I'm so glad everyone just kind of stopped putting up with it. Sort of a vindication for him. And Jimmy is enough of an asshole that he called it out right away!
It’s so delightful to see Micky Flanagan having the time of his life.
😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
In spite of being teamed with England’s most unworthy diva.
I love Richard's responses to Mel B's weird comments.
That toddler doing the ice bucket challenge was a comedic golden nugget.
I feel SO bad for Micky whenever I watch this one. I'm glad Sarah gets in a couple digs though, love that bloody woman! 💜
micky seemed fine with it. people are harsh on mel. she was actually funny and they are all blunt comedians so they can deal with it.
@@erictim9052 At first I found her absolutely intolerable, but rewatching this know I agree. She's maybe a little (a lot) tone def, but it's totally fine.

This is one of my absolute favourites, especially with them taking the piss on Mel B.
David and Richard in one team? This can only be excellent.
Micky turning to Mel so genuinely before saying 'I've got one wooden buttock...' takes me out EVERY time
I’ve watched this a few times, and i always have the same feeling.

1:32:25 when they take 2 minutes to just destroy Mel with the old SG lyrics... almost makes it worth all the suffering she’s put us through

Kevin: yeah, port
Poor Jack, buying an expensive phone in a poorly designed box.
Well. At least we now know what the B stands for in Mel B. Good lord. You ever watch the show Mel?
Mel acts like she's never encountered comedy before in her life
I always forget what a fucking harpy Mel B was that episode
anything for ayoade
Mel B clearly has no idea what the show is all about. F-ing hilarious.
Mel B, “I’m confused…”
The rest of us, “Which is a surprise to exactly nobody.”
And people wonder why Spice Girls broke up when they had Mel B in the group
I mean, she's scary spice and seems pretty scary
Love Me some Ayoade!
I've got a brand new combine harvester
I hate my wife

This is my favorite one
Erm. I can see why she was named ‘Scary Spice.’ Jeeze.
I remember this one. I will still watch it, but Mel B was so annoying in this one
Mel B seems to be a consistently unpleasant person, but it sure is fun watching everyone else get progressively more annoyed with her.
Felt bad for Mickey, she was pure horrible for no reason.
