Speaking as an American, Kristen Schaal is a delightfully adorable representative on our behalf. I hope we can see her on more of your panel shows in the near future. You have made a solid choice!
@@silentnothing02 Lodgemont. I'llbe damned. I could have sworn in the early days of Adult Swim she was from Canada. Oh well. I guess Im due to be wrong every century or so. Thanks for sorting me out mate
The chemistry between all the guests and Jimmy is really exceptional in this one! Everyone seems to be in a good mood and appreciating each others jokes... What a viewing pleasure! Thanks for the upload!
@@michaelchasse2645 There is a version some one edited on youtube that removes Mel B. so all interactions with her were edited out as well as when it cuts to show micky he is just sitting by himself. She started that show with an adversarial attitude and it got worse as things went on.
im shocked right now, i guessed crocodile dundee based on the name and the fact he went to big city. (no idea what the hell that drawing of figure is). Thought i got it right when johnathon said it, then my correct answer was cruelly snatched away from me. Ghost busters incredible guess!
Usually the BFQs with Richard Ayoade and Noel Fielding are my absolute favs but this one is right up there and especially the wine segment is one of my top 3 "I didn't know I was smiling until I stopped smiling" moments ever. Fabulous! Also, Kristen Schaal going "Bethesda" for "Balthazar" and no one else recognizing it, seemingly not even Jonathan Ross, whilst Jimmy was implying that nothing with that name even exists, was equal parts endearing and equal parts maddening.
Jonathan probably just thought making some Elder Scrolls reference or something wouldn’t have been funny and didn’t say anything. There is no way he didn’t recognize it.
Hah, Bethesda existed before the video game company, it’s a place in the Bible. Jonathan might have just been distracted though, or talking to Bob, etc. Sometimes the edits make it seem like someone is paying attention when they aren’t.
I know i’ve already seen this one at least twice, but… It has Mitchell, Mel, Schaal, Bob, and Ross all being silly and slightly unhinged. And, best of all, Claudia just being delightful in every way. _Of course_ i want to watch it again.
So nice to see a Big Fat Quiz episode that I had never seen before. Thanks for uploading this. Also, I think this was an excellent guest roster. Everyone was witty and funny and obviously having a great time together.
The bit with Jonathan and the champagne had me HOWLING. 😂 "You're a terrible tease, Frank!" "Just relax." "That's easy for you to say, it's my first time, you've done this loads!"
David's premonition at 36:50 of William Shakespeare coining phrases is just as impressive as, but not as funny as, Jack Whitehall conjuring Mr Blobby in that one quiz.
16:16 Joey Essex describing Freud's slip-of-the-tongue theory: "It reminds me of the time when I used to call my *breast* friend Jake "Keith"." Well done, Joey. The man's a genius.
@@distantcoff7391 Is he getting any oxygen with those skinny jeans? Note to everyone, don't wear skinny jeans. As Joey Essex proves, oxygen has a hard time getting to your brain.
Came across this after watching a few Mitchell and Webb episodes and immideately fell for it. I like how this has a genuine pub quiz vibe. It's also great that they always seem to find those American comedians who fit right in. Best bits for me: David's "I've never knowingly struck a man", Mel "With Corbyn I'd share a sherry, but Snow......rrrrrrr!" or "Craig David all over my boooong", that helicopter thing by Kristen, and Jimmy's " "It's a good thing David Cameron wasn't here" with the pig mask.
I LOVED this group. Usually the Quizzes have one person that doesn't really participate much or jive with the others (which is an understatement with Mel B) but I loved the sheer waves of comedy from this group.
What kept me watching when I realized Richard Ayoade wasn’t here was Mel and Kristen together- they are unpredictably awkward and made the show. Claudia was also on point that day and had some great lines- the bit about the horses on her shirt was quite quick witted .
Mel should publish her recipe for "Energy Balls"!. Asking Kristen, AFTER she took a bite of one of the balls, "You're not allergic to nuts are you? You alright?" Kristen making a face saying "I think so" and Jimmy saying, "That was a great time to ask as well!" Nearly had me spitting out my tea. BUT the funniest line of that bit was after Jimmy noticing that Kristen had pulled a hair out of her Energy Ball container, Mel apologizes and then said, "Upper or lower hair?" I cracked up and then Kristen topped the sundae with "It was brown", I completely lost it! Maybe only people who dye their hair would find it funny, but the idea of a brown pubic hair when Mel is showing blonde hair struck me as hilarious.
Not started watching yet. I just wanted to say I love the opening credits. Very reminiscent of Monty Python. I'm Aussie, discovered this show a few hours ago and have been binging and laughing ever since
@@Wiley_Coyote still don’t understand why they thought Michelle and Chelsea would be good here. Chelsea just sucks and Michelle is very hit or miss with her stuff. Weird picks to have those two.
@@jackallenproductions "__ has a particular and unique affect that is such a integral part of who they are that not only do they inspire that affect, but to be around them is that affect itself". As an american, "such" makes it sound positive, where "quite" would make it sound ambiguous(as in large or loud) or negative(as in overwhelming/obnoxious).
One of my favorite episodes, one of the best overall casts I've seen on one of these. As a kid I had a huge crush on Kristin from Flight of the Conchords and then Mel from Taskmaster, so seeing them team up perfect.
I watch these quizzes during work and I swear I've watched so much I accidentally slip into a British accent when I start talking to a customer. I haven't watched American television in months, just this and taskmaster
I'm convinced Joey says 'breast friend' at 16:20 and I can't tell if that's the most ironic slip of the tongue in all of history or a very, very clever, underappreciated joke.
You can see Jimmy getting talked to in his ear throughout that whole champaign thing "Don't you let them do it, don't you fecking dare let em use that big one" "Too late, they've boiled over...."
@@kissekatt I've enjoyed all their foreign guests, but I think Kristin "fit in" the best. But comedy can benefit from having someone who sticks out, because they can bring attention to the absurdity of the others.
@@JuandeFucaU If we're counting Katherine Ryan, we would also have to count Aisling Bea & Dara O Briain because they were born in Ireland. If most of the work you do is in the UK, and you live there, I think that rules you out as a foreign guest. The same is true for Reginald D. Hunter, who hasn't done Big Fat Quiz, but is hilarious on WILTY.
Verve was our wedding bubbles 12 years ago. Not just that, our honeymoon was in the UK and we ordered Verve wherever we went. All the little guesthouses/ stayovers/hotels were very accommodating with stirring our "nightcap" in their fridges. Had a bubbly time in the UK.
If Tom Hanks is America's dad then Mel is the world's mom . God love her .... Bob is that uncle that keeps trying to convince you that you can walk on water if you just move fast enough 🤣
What an all-around spectacular panel. I really enjoyed the chemistry of everyone more than any episode I've seen (Yankee newcomer here, so that's only about 6).
Call me whatever you like, I kinda have a crush on Kristen Shaal. Every time I see her I think she's cute and then she makes me laugh and that's just good.
That David Mitchell-Kirsten Schaal high five is one of my favourite moments of any Big Fat Quiz

There was a man that used to come to my aunt's restaurant, people always said he learned to whisper in a sawmill.

So much better than the episode with Mel B. She was awful. The only thing missing here is Richard and Noel.

“These are REAL horses!!” genuinely made me howl laughing 😂😂😂
David awkwardly standing around as everyone else is excited about the champagne is me.
It's such a mood, when he's got his hands in his pockets and doesn't know what to do.
I love how the subtitles said "nokia wingtone" and "Wayne's on a wedding day" when Jonathan Ross was speaking
Claudia's scream of pure joy when Jimmy said "Ghostbusters" is the most pure sound of human joy I've ever heard

Mel is just adorable in her honesty. Some things she says just crack me up. She is a kindred spirit for sure.
I agree. I think she confused Ironic with Magic Bus by The Who.

Despite Noel or Richard not being in this one, it is my absolute favourite episode of any big fat quiz!
This was by far the best episode of this show I've ever watched!! The contestants just matched perfectly and it was just fun. Thank you
that elbow-high five killed me! HILARIOUS! and they kept it up throughout!

I never knew how much the universe needed Mel and Kristen together as a team.

"Raining on your wedding day" is only ironic if you are getting married to the god of weather.
Some cultures consider it a blessing
But there's something pretty ironic about a song called Ironic that contains no irony. Maybe Alanis pulled one over on us all.

Every time
Mel is that mom who wants to keep up with what the kids are doing but doesn't quite get it. She sure tries though, bless her heart.
