My favourite bit of trivia about this show is they originally had Greek letters instead of hieroglyphs but were told the Greek letters were too pretentious
need to watch university challenge next - if you watch only connect immediately followed by university challenge on a monday afternoon you can feel properly british
Was about to say the same thing. All 3 are on the same night. In fact you could begin with Richard Osman's House of Games, as a warm-up, take a short break for something to eat, then return for Mastermind, Only Connect and University Challenge. I'd dispute the 'afternoon' description though. Definitely evening... :)
@@flaherty5090 me (19) and my brother (15) watch all 3 programmes every monday too, does make me feel 80 but we just love it so much! don’t know what to do with myself now they’ve all finished :(
“He can hold 2 pens in one hand and write his first and surname simultaneously” I tried this immediately and although my handwriting is a mess but it’s not super difficult to do, the second time especially was pretty easy
i can confirm as an englishman that we do infact use miles. our speed limits are in miles per hour. we use the metric and imperial system too. plywood comes in 8ft by 4ft and 12 18 and 25 mm thicknesses lol
Did he ever find these episodes? I saw his chat suggest it a couple of times and stanz reads everything so he must know about it, but idk if he ever looked it up
I was watching the newest episode of only connect yesterday and I got loads of them before the teams for the first time ever! Still feeling a bit smug and glad you liked it Stanz, some of the episodes are insanely hard
And today I learned that musical legend Mitch Benn was on Only Connect (he was the guy with the Liverpool accent that got the Glastonbury question right)
Guy: These are things measured in imperial by people who use metric Girl: These are things measured in vague guesses and not actually as measured Man calling the show awkward for being intellectual based: Wait those are the exact same things
Usually I don't watch the youtube video if I watched the stream, but this was really well put together. I'd love to see more of this if you ever have more random one off react times
i would have gotten almost nothing maybe two or three things lol that girl on the winning team went nuts on the missing a_b c_d ect. one. i was straight up surprised
Are you still reacting to series 12 of Taskmaster, I watched the first 2 episodes from around a month ago on your twitch, but I can't find any after those?
It was my grandfather who hunted Nazis. My father is probably proud of me anyway - who knows. Apart from that, spot on *shark stare*
Class!
Dan! It's you!
My favourite bit of trivia about this show is they originally had Greek letters instead of hieroglyphs but were told the Greek letters were too pretentious
Quite right
@@paxton_pomykal One might say Quite Interesting
Would argue that having them as hieroglyphs is equally as pretentious if not more so
@@RamóhanMercader97 The hieroglyphs was their response to being made to change the Greek letters.
I think anyway, not sure how accurate that story is.
@Ram
That was the joke.
Only Connect is one of the most amazing quiz shows in television history. Especially in the finals, the connections/sequences are CRAZY hard.
need to watch university challenge next - if you watch only connect immediately followed by university challenge on a monday afternoon you can feel properly british
Throw in Mastermind too, why not?

OMG he's watching only connect that's so sick, Stanz just come london mate, you have to do a meetup here it would be class!
he's not wrong
I would love if Stanz played an online version of this against Northernlion
A fellow NL watcher! I didn't know that game came from this
i've never exclaimed "what the fuck" more than I have while watching this video
fun fact the host of the show is one of the best female poker players of all time, if not the best
Nowhere near the best however she has won a couple of events
@@tomwilko7841 She was the first ever two time winner of European Poker
Tour.
@@thomasmartin5865 i know...shes a solid player...however nowhere near the best imo
Can't wait for the Tom Scott episodes
“He can hold 2 pens in one hand and write his first and surname simultaneously” I tried this immediately and although my handwriting is a mess but it’s not super difficult to do, the second time especially was pretty easy
having watched every episode of 'only connect', i am enjoying this immensely. vcm is the one and only queen 🤣
Her intro this episode is scorchingly awkward, I wonder if anyone tried to stop her. What a legend.
They're always awkward
@@eninc928 They are indeed always awkward, but this one was a level above.
It only takes getting one question right on this show to feel good
The puzzle hunters got their name from an annual puzzle hunt hosted by MIT. It's free to attend and can be done remotely. A fun weekend each year!
as a brit watching you react to this is hilarious
This seemed slightly easier than usual. Perhaps the questions have become harder over the years and this was an early one?
I agree it's slightly easier, I got two answers correct in this episode but I normally only get one
This seems to be a fairly recent one, they have dividers between the team members for covid reasdons
It was an early round in the series - they get harder as you go through the rounds.
Tom Scott was on this show. I forgot what series, but they were still using Greek letters. They survived a good few episodes too
Greek letters came in for the first episode of series three, I'm pretty sure. I think The Hitchhikers were in series two.
You should watch this again, Tom Scott has been on it before!!
i can confirm as an englishman that we do infact use miles. our speed limits are in miles per hour. we use the metric and imperial system too. plywood comes in 8ft by 4ft and 12 18 and 25 mm thicknesses lol
It’s not a game show. It’s a quiz show with a witty, irreverent host.
Once you have your fill of Only Connect the next step on the tour of British quiz shows should be University Challenge
Great show! Can't wait for him to find the other set of episodes with a great UA-camr!
a certain Pirate?
Did he ever find these episodes? I saw his chat suggest it a couple of times and stanz reads everything so he must know about it, but idk if he ever looked it up

Another fire vid from the best streamer
Ooh boy, I missed this on stream.
Exited to see how Stanz will react to Victoria when he gets round to watching Taskmaster series 12.
Ive already watched the first two episodes! made a playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PL7wgtI9z1FS9yavGwbXILBYOILtFq102B.html
@@stanz Ooh awesome
I love only connect, but it is awkward af
You should watch the Only connect episodes with Tom Scott on them!
The youtuber? Are they good?
He watched his first Tom Scott video on Twitch the other day...chat linked the garlic bread in space. He didn't like it at all.
I'm an American who watches this with my mom sometimes
Idk why I guess we enjoy the torture and feelings of inadequacy
And today I learned that musical legend Mitch Benn was on Only Connect (he was the guy with the Liverpool accent that got the Glastonbury question right)
the Nelly the elephant bit literally made me laugh out loud, and i'm wearing noise cancelling headphones
Someone in chat said Newmarket; generally considered as the birthplace of horse racing. Isn’t a racecourse
I got the "aplomb" question instantly and it's the proudest of myself I've ever been. Shame I'm sat here by myself with only my dog for a witness.
Stanz you should watch I'm a celebrity on stream
I too went down the taskmaster s12 -> only connect rabbit hole
Need way more of these
Guy: These are things measured in imperial by people who use metric
Girl: These are things measured in vague guesses and not actually as measured
Man calling the show awkward for being intellectual based: Wait those are the exact same things
"One no-trump" -- contract bridge. Somebody saying this is saying they can take seven tricks without having any of the suits as the trump.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this confused in my life
we use imperial (miles, feet, inches, pints, stones and pounds) and metric in the UK
In Britain we do use miles
holy shit lmaooooo please do more only connect i love this show
Emma Kennedy on the Walrus team had a weekly sketch show podcast with Richard Herring!
And Mitch Benn on the same team does comedy music on Radio 4.
The best TV quiz ever. And VCM is the perfect host.
Dan definitely was at that first concert
Yes. I was seven.
Loooooovveeee Only Connect, would watch it every week at home with the parents. Would watch more with Stanz! ^^
"I got 7 points" Copium 😜 is University Challenge next?
Oh my god I wasn't expecting Only Connect to be uploaded but I'm not complaining
And now I have “Nellie the elephant” stuck in my head. Damn it!
We do use miles in Britain
Trumpety Trump Trump Trump, Baby!
Usually I don't watch the youtube video if I watched the stream, but this was really well put together. I'd love to see more of this if you ever have more random one off react times
I like how they used pac man as an example, the one game you'd probly never play on a keyboard with wasd lmao
Me trying to understand with my 3 remaining brain cells
If you want to feel dumb, you need to watch university challenge
i would have gotten almost nothing maybe two or three things lol that girl on the winning team went nuts on the missing a_b c_d ect. one. i was straight up surprised
I'd love to see this as a recurring thing on the channel
Cackled when Stanz said ooaks
Trumpety trump is from the song Nellie the elephant 😆
Mitch Benn on Only Connect? Wow.
The questions are much harder these days. This must be an early episode
It’s not. It from a couple of years ago. Mitch Benn is a celebrity in his own right, and I remember him on it.
The earliest series had Greek letters.
@@colinbaker3916 these questions are 100% easier than the ones currently, there’s no doubt about it
University Challenge, the Hapax Legomenon episode next please
didn't even watch the episode with Tom Scott in it smdh
Dan's the disappointment sadge
Fun vid! Would love to see more like it!
Tom Scott clapped so hard on this show.
These get harder as each series progresses watch later episodes next time
A 5Head isn't enough for this show
As a huge only connect fan damn this hits so good. My main girl Victoria and my main mans Stanz
Tom Scott was on a series of this.
Lmao I can’t keep up! Go back to Ramsey for my poo brain!
only connect is so good but so hard for my small brain
Hey great video Stanz! Keep it up, you might not be great at trivia though 😂😂😂
Make sure you watch the Yorkers team in Series 11 for your next episode. Stanz viewer on the left
This has nothing on university challenge
its all about the Tom Scott episodes
Im English and ive never heard of this show, genuinely the only question i would have got right was the wasd one
It's on BBC 2 october to January
When is he gonna watch 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown?
british poshness at is best
Omg i didn't know tv's Emma Kennedy was on only connect
We do use miles in Britain lol 😆
Stanz should watch university challenge
Have you ever seen "nelly the elephant" performed live ? Trumpety trump trump lol
He Literally went to Disneyland with QT a couple months ago
I've heard these UA-cam videos are super behind the actual date of the streams
most awkward I love only connect
I loved this
He should watch the episode with Tom Scott
You're a god if you watch the episode with Tom Scott and get anything right.
Lmao wasn't this stream like 500 years ago
Beyoncé a member of TLC?! She was in Destiny’s Child
Now watch the only connect with tom scott
Such a cool show, love it
nothing makes me feel dumber than only connect
which vod was this in? like what date
whats the name of the piece in the background at the very start of the video??
did you know tom scott was on this show
Are you still reacting to series 12 of Taskmaster, I watched the first 2 episodes from around a month ago on your twitch, but I can't find any after those?
It’s coming, don’t worry
We do use miles and feet in Britain 👍
Well miles yes not so much feet.
I hate anyone who's ever been on this gameshow
What on Earth is your objection to the childhood song Nellie the elephant?!
really nice vid.
