“Pop culture, don’t care make jokes, pop culture don’t care make jokes, pop culture makes jokes still don’t care, oh the arts, well now this is something I care about”
I think Noel and Richard knew they had blown everyone else out and decided to bag the ending on purpose because it was funnier. If they ever got serious, they could rule the world.
I'm thoroughly convinced when Noel and Richard pair up their primary goal is to crack jokes. When they are confident their joke quota has been filled, then they answer questions. In that order.
I love how the joke is still relevant. 8cats do countdown: Jimmy makes jokes while the rest actually play the game Big fat quiz: everyone does jokes while Jimmy tried to host
I love how in the second or third year of big fat quiz, one of them says congratuwelldone and the word becomes a repeated thing even a decade later on the show.
Jimmy attempting to quench the food fight was as funny and as pointless and him trying to put the cats in the basket. He just gets this look of “ I’ve lost control”
Noel: "I love you, Jack" Richard: "I´m rigth here. I´m right here..." This part always breaks me. The look on Richard's eyes, the tone of his voice, it´s all imaculate and so, so funny
She does have that panicked how-did-i-get-here look about her, doesn't she. Poor thing. Did they not know she's a yank? They ought have gone through the questions with her beforehand to make sure she didn't get frightened. Honestly nearly wet myself laughing when she said "I feel like the crowd could tear me from limb to limb"
To be fair, compared to American tv shows, British panel shows are insane. Having a 5 minute hiatus to play a water phone, Mel taking her shoes off, moon wank. None of these things happen on American shows
@@EnglishTeacher-ez1bo So in my head cannon… they tried so hard throughout, only to sabotage themselves at the very end, simply to prove he and/or Noel _could_ win if they actually wanted to.
This show gives me so much comfort and joy and I'm so sad I haven't yet succeeded in getting my family on board. I literally rewatch episodes over and over just because it makes me feel so warm and happy!
Technically, they weren’t wrong. The supercontinent has a name NOW, but when it was around it had no name as it was pre-language, they should have gotten at least half points for technically being correct.
Harald Bluetooth was not called Bluetooth because he was addicted to blueberries btw, it's because in old Norse the words for blue and black were sometimes used interchangeably. So basically he had black rotten teeth (or a single really bad tooth) and that's why he was called Bluetooth.
In Old Norse Svartr = Black, Blár = Blue. So there were seperate words for blue and black in Old Norse. The words' origins predate Old Norse and their descendants survive in many Germanic languages for example German schwarz and blau, English swart and blue, and Swedish svart and blå.
Jack Whitehall on Boxing Day 2015: Cheating is bang out of order! Noel Fielding on Boxing Day 2015: Makes excuses for Russell texting various audience members. Also Jack Whitehall in January 2016: Cheats by Googling characters of CATS. Also Noel Fielding: He's cheating! Unbelievable!
Apart from her there's just been Michelle wolf and Kristen schaal, both of whom have been pretty funny. But I have to give Kristen Shaw the trophy on that one because the comedic comedy between her and Dara was just hilarious

I love how Mel gave every detail about that photo right except for the actual detail of the person in the photo, because they had their foot up on a shoe-shiner's stand, and not down on their knees scrubbing their own shoes like she said. Just gave me a giggle that she knew all the facts about it except for the one you can see by just looking at the photo 😂
I loved everyone ripping on Sylvester stalone. This show is great. We've tried stuff like this in America. And I'm sad that they didn't stay big. We have jeopardy.
@Anxe24 No, "Jack being distant," you said was because Jimmy Carr slapped a doughnut out of his hands in the corridor. [Jimmy knew all those cakes and snacks were going to be in the room in a minute -- and he couldn't have someone eating a measly donut when they were going to have the top of the world in other words] That's why they were calling "Jack distant" for a moment. That's why Ciao lol
The fact I have what's basically a super computer in my hands watching this is quite the statement to how far and fast humans can go technologically...
"The Producer" - is TRULY the joke of the show, if not the year/the decade for me. I couldn't stop laughing for minutes! Hardly any joke in british panel shows ever got that reaction for me. And I think I've seen them all.
I'm American. "Man vs. Cake" would totally work here. And it doesn't have to be any sophisticated cake - maybe one made with the witch's urine... We tend to get riled up about such things.
if there's anyone in the UK reading this (I'm well drunk enough to not care for how long it's been since any of this info has been available), the US used to have a show called Mythbusters which featured a group of engineers and scientists who tested the plausibility of urban myths and modern fairytales. One of their experiments involved a room full of airborne sawdust particles and the spark of a handheld lighter to see whether the room would become engulfed in flames. It exploded. The "garage" they set up to test that myth fucking exploded. I miss that show. I miss popular science.
Myotonic goats do not faint. They become stiff and unable to move or maintain their posture, and therefore fall over, but that's not fainting. They might just freeze in place and remain standing, as one did in the clip. They simply can't relax their muscles. Noel & Richard were robbed!
I don't remember hearing Jack's question about anyone having flour and a match when I've watched before. Good reference to Mel talking about flour being flammable earlier.
If I ever have the money to take a trip to England I'm scheduling it around this show so I can be there live . The hell with Stonehenge . I'm here for Richard and Noel 😂 *Also ; Jack Whitehall telling other people to act with respect kills me every time 😂😂🤺
@@MsGillyOh, definitely seen them all! Haha. I find myself searching through the every now and then trying to find one I haven’t seen. Then I end up watching other British comedy shows.
I love when Noel takes a quick break from being absurd to just flex on everyone during the art rounds in these quizzes.
Also Rich during the movie questions
Super Hans!
Noel kills me
"I'm an art student, he's a twat"
“Pop culture, don’t care make jokes, pop culture don’t care make jokes, pop culture makes jokes still don’t care, oh the arts, well now this is something I care about”
“a geography teacher and his pet crow” is so good oh my god
😂😂😂
Jimmy sounds so shocked every time he announces the scores and Noel and Richard are still winning.
I love how this episode proves that Noel and Richard are crazy smart and could win whenever they want to 😅❤️
Biggest obstacle today ? Ourselves . Rich and Noel in a nutshell.
I love that ethos of not taking anything too seriously, but excelling when they want to! ❤😂
They were robbed with that 10 point finale, though.
I think Noel and Richard knew they had blown everyone else out and decided to bag the ending on purpose because it was funnier. If they ever got serious, they could rule the world.

In that order.
Noel and Richard make up the two favorite people in my life
Then you simply must arin and dan
@@cameronjadewallace Not even the best duo with Arin in it.
noel's criticism of Jimmy for being boring is a case of the BORING calling the COMEDIAN boring. And the boring doesn't know he's boring.
I fully agree with you 😁
@@dropbearkellyevehammond4446 that's sad to hear. But ewe can still be made useful.
Mel and Jack are like a beleaguered mum with her rebellious teenager
Mel is the parent Jack truly needed growing up.
Noel’s “baileys from a shoe” callback was incredible! I’d completely forgotten old greg was a thing
I've seen this like 5 times and just now connected it this time
What is old greg?

I really enjoyed Chelsea in this one, she was witty and delivered some decent jokes. Don't understand why some people are complaining.
: Chelsea Peretti is an incredible talent. I love seeing her shine, knowing she is the wife of Jordan Peete. She is her own badass comic.
@@violetgc6049 *Jordan Peele
She's got the perfect tone in this. She's just bemused and feels no need to suck up to anybody to accept her.
@@gabbleratchet1890yeah she didn’t try too hard either just went with the flow, didn’t expect her to fit so nicely
i forgot about the genius roasts of jonathan's shirt.
this one is the first bf i watched and i knew after watching the first five minutes that the show was brilliant
Do you mean "woasts"? 😆
I love how the joke is still relevant.
8cats do countdown: Jimmy makes jokes while the rest actually play the game
Big fat quiz: everyone does jokes while Jimmy tried to host
I think he’s mastered hosting it. Who’s better
I love how in the second or third year of big fat quiz, one of them says congratuwelldone and the word becomes a repeated thing even a decade later on the show.
Jimmy attempting to quench the food fight was as funny and as pointless and him trying to put the cats in the basket. He just gets this look of “ I’ve lost control”
Yes omg thats accurate
All I can hear is Noel: “JIMMY YOU’VE LOST CONTROL OF THE QUIZ!”
Y'basket of cats
I love Noel's face when Mel brings out the baked goods. And the year after he's co-presenting the British bake off.
Noel: "I love you, Jack"
Richard: "I´m rigth here. I´m right here..."
This part always breaks me. The look on Richard's eyes, the tone of his voice, it´s all imaculate and so, so funny
Chelsea's just politely nodding along half the time like this whole thing is a fever dream
She added as much to the show as Jimmy’s top button
She does have that panicked how-did-i-get-here look about her, doesn't she. Poor thing. Did they not know she's a yank? They ought have gone through the questions with her beforehand to make sure she didn't get frightened. Honestly nearly wet myself laughing when she said "I feel like the crowd could tear me from limb to limb"
It's a comedy programme for fecks sake, she was portraying a character... she was not afraid...
To be fair, compared to American tv shows, British panel shows are insane. Having a 5 minute hiatus to play a water phone, Mel taking her shoes off, moon wank. None of these things happen on American shows
She did fine, she had some good moments, wasn’t too quiet, let the comedians do their thing at the same time
"if you wanna erase anything, it's voiceactivated btw" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Noel and Richard literally decided to win just to spite Jimmy I'm pretty sure
And then Richard lost on purpose. There is no way he didn't know that last answer.
@@EnglishTeacher-ez1bo So in my head cannon… they tried so hard throughout, only to sabotage themselves at the very end, simply to prove he and/or Noel _could_ win if they actually wanted to.
@@EnglishTeacher-ez1bothat was heartbreaking,, they did so well prior . 😢
I love to see Noel laughing on Richard's jokes
Noel is one of those comedians who takes genuine pleasure in other people's jokes.
This is the best episode, honestly.
My favorite part of this whole thing is Jack going, "YOU WANT A MOFFIN?????" It gets me every time
Im a fan of noel yelling out "dont talk about my vagina on tv, my dad watches this show"
@@logandanielson7691 Nan, not Dad
Richard hiding Mel in this episode is one of the cutest things ever 😊
Any episode Mel is on is just brilliant! She brought snacks in this episode and Bailey's in another lmfao the best
Mel B? 🤓
@@ClaudeSac No. Mel B was horrible.
Love her so much!
And brandy in one
She's just delightful in everything she's in. It was so fun watching her in Taskmaster having entirely too much fun.
richard's whole family drama playing out in this one was so emotional
This show gives me so much comfort and joy and I'm so sad I haven't yet succeeded in getting my family on board. I literally rewatch episodes over and over just because it makes me feel so warm and happy!
Sounds like you need to throw your whole ass family away and find a new one that appreciates the finer things in life
Technically, they weren’t wrong. The supercontinent has a name NOW, but when it was around it had no name as it was pre-language, they should have gotten at least half points for technically being correct.
Being technically correct is the best kind of correct to be.
Fun fact, there's been several ones before Pangea. The continents keep slamming into each other and breaking apart over and over.
“500 feet?”
“Yeah, that’s like 3 metres or something.”

I will never not rewatch any of these if Noel & Richard are on the panel 🤣
me too 😂
Noel slipping the Old Gregg reference in with mels shoes is so good
Jimmy getting pissed at the food fight is always hilarious
It must be an absolute nightmare to edit this into a cohesive show.
It would take some special brownies.
Jimmy Carr's laugh is like a rubber chicken in a paint mixer.
Chelsea is one of the funniest non brittish guests they've had on, I feel she meshes well with the others especially in this episode.
she had such good chemistry...much better than Mel B lol
Apart from her there's just been Michelle wolf and Kristen schaal, both of whom have been pretty funny. But I have to give Kristen Shaw the trophy on that one because the comedic comedy between her and Dara was just hilarious
She's horrible, nobody knows her.
@@bwianeh well yeah, not a hard hurdle to clear, Plank from Ed Edd n Eddy would've been better than her

I enjoyed this show so much! I'm watching some of the other Big Fat Quizzes, but this is by far the best! Great entertainment!
Not gonna lie, the aerobics championship looks hella fun
I believe the Big Fat Quiz show is an experiment to teach a robot, Jimmy Carr, how to laugh.
I love how Mel gave every detail about that photo right except for the actual detail of the person in the photo, because they had their foot up on a shoe-shiner's stand, and not down on their knees scrubbing their own shoes like she said. Just gave me a giggle that she knew all the facts about it except for the one you can see by just looking at the photo 😂
The subtle bit at 1:22:00 where Mel pats Jack on the back and calls him a "good lad" for teabagging Jonathan Ross
I really thought I was going to finally see Richard win. I'm more angry at that last question than Noel was.
He has won before, but jt wasnt with Noel
@@theboogeyman2590 he had a joint victory in one of the quizes too. Two teams tied for first place
I couldn't believe the fucking geography teacher didn't get this one.
As much as I love Noel, Richard, David, Russel, and of course Jimmy. Jon Snow is probably my favorite person featured on this show.
This round convinces me that Noel and Richard get paid off to lose the round every year 😂
They couldnt afford it any other way.
This is my favorite one ❤ I come back to it all the time and I laugh just as hard 😂this cast is 🤌perfect🤌
Im sitting here thinking this has got to be the best BFQ episodes EVER. I was DYING laughing.
yessss one of the best casts thank u!!
If you watch closely, you can see the exact moment Noel realized he wanted to host bake off 1:02:55
The food fight made me sad, that cake looked so scrumptious
Me too, I'm sure whomever made all that was sad
This episode is one of the bests. It was perfect with Mel and Jack
Noel and Richard lost at the last question? I'm gutted. And my husband was disgusted at my cracking up at the food fight. RIP macarons...
How have I never scene these before? Have been watching them since 4 a.m. It is now after noon.
If they scripted this and took years to nail the timing, it wouldn't be as funny. Genius.

probably because it wasn't very funny
