Brits have always hated the Irish, always, and that is fact. Furthermore, Anne gave Ed more difficult questions. This game was just unfair and BS, to my eyes, Barry just voted for whoever was the strongest link or whoever he didn't like, very glad that dumbass Barry lost and Johnny won. Although, Nina and Dave got blindly voted off for no reason, still glad that Barry lost. (I felt bad for the people that actually tried to answer some questions, all I have to say, is that I hate Barry.)
I'm just in the first 10 mins, but I swear if Nina, Ed or johnny don't win, I'm gonna be pissed, there the only ones taking it seriously, the others are making cringe-worthy jokes
They're all comedians. Not being serious is the whole idea behind having them on the show. Although, I suspect it was a rousing failure outside the UK. If you don't know British references, then it's hard to know what's funny outside general observations. Johnny was a major goofball and still won. Heavy accent though.
Johnny or Ed deserved to go through. On average they both got the most questions correct. They could have got so much money in the chance they got to treble what they banked
Same. I was looking through the comments to my surprise hardly anyone heard that aside from your comment. Good job, it totally shocked me that they let that slide.
I kept waiting each round for him to be voted off, because he was so irritating. But he survived for 5 rounds. Those of forced to watch suffered every unfunny step of the way.
I can understand the strategic element of voting off the strongest players Nina and Dave, if they were playing for themselves. But since they are playing for charity, they should be keeping them in, because they will earn the most money.
I don't know any of them.. Maybe because I'm from.. The U S. But couldn't believe that Helen didn't know about the lake question being next to Canada.. Pennsylvania isn't a country
Oh yes, she was in the Sooty Show I think, which I loved, still do lol, and her eyes looked like gobstoppers, utterly terrifying to a kid! Still couldn't quite look at her eyes now.

There’s the comedian version in Thai as well. On the name “The weakest joker”, it’s the version that collects famous Thai comedian to compete in this TV show. And there’s another version. It’s the battle between actresses who played main protagonists and a nice woman vs actresses who played villains from Thai series which very famous that moment. It’s the comedy version as well.
Why did they keep saying pass? What show did they think they were on? Take a stab at it at least. I guessed Top of the pops and I'm not even British, I've never seen that show, but I've heard of it, and that was enough for me to get it right. Unless the question is "What p word indicates a footballer intentionally kicking the ball to a fellow player?" pass is not going to be the correct answer. :/
Me too. I'm an American and I could have answered the Top of the Pops question as an educated guess. I was surprised that Dave, who looked like a pretty young guy, knew the one about Connie Francis. Rhona was an idiot for not knowing the symbol for hydrogen or that the Weimar Republic was in Germany.
I'm sorry but some of you guys are sounding idiotic. You are under a LOT of pressure when playing the game, and the stress drains a considerable amount of cognitive energy. Why are you stressed? Because you know you are going to be watched and judged on television, because one single wrong answer can get you out of the game, and because you are under huge pressure to conserve time. Most of the questions on this show are long and contestants worry that they can lose their train of thought while listening to the question and might have to ask Anne to repeat the question. You are required to answer the question immediately, so almost all answers are reflexive. When your name is called out a large amount of adrenaline (which controls the fight or flight response) is released and your heart rate raises dramatically, and if you have no idea about which of the two options is correct your heart rate raises further, and the resulting stress severely compromises your working memory capacity, to the extent that you may not properly remember the options. In such moments, your body automatically chooses the "flight" response and you say "pass". When contestants say "pass" it is an instinctive response largely beyond their control. Altering your stress response is a long term process and cannot be done in a matter of seconds.
@@hotwax9376 For an American, "Top of the Pops" would likely be an instinctive response because that is the only British music he is likely to have heard about. However, for an English person in 2001, Top of the Pops was a very current show, and not a show you that you would think of when you hear "Which show started 1964..." A calm mind might have guessed that "Top of the Pops" could have started as early as 1964, but with enormous stress on your working memory, even the most intelligent people rely on crude heuristics (not saying that Helen was intelligent). Top of the Pops = Current and Popular = Not 1964. When they hear 1964 they think of "Old music shows" and shows that may come to mind are "The tube" or "The Hitman and Her" (which is what Helen was going for I think), although both started much after 1964. As I said in my post above, because you are expected to answer immediately, you don't have the time or cognitive resources to deliberate and make educated guesses as you could in Millionaire. As for Weimar Republic, goodness your school must have a very strong history education if you think that is a very easy question. I was a trivia champ in school who often represented my school and never heard of it. I first encountered the term a few years ago when I was reading the transcript of a Hitler speech. This is something that I would expect only the nerdiest of my students to know. I was a nerd in college and I never knew.
@@Dead_in__side__ Thank you but I do have a grip . I never said the whole thing was staged ' down to a tee' . Perhaps I should not have used the word ' all ' but I have worked in TV and do know that many things are set ups and staged , purely for entertainment reasons and viewing figures .
@@Bobbythundervideogamemaster900 Because Brits hate the Irish, also Anne gave more difficult questions to Ed Byrnes, and d**khead Barry over there, voted for Ed until he got voted off completely. Barry genuinely deserved to get voted off at the first round, all he did was throw off the smartest people, I lost my mind when he got to top 2. I'm so glad Johnny won that, I was kinda routing for Rowland and Ed as well but as long as douchebag Barry didn't win, then I'm fine with it.

well he is the oracle after all
He understands that the point is to win money for charity. You do not vote off your strongest players when playing for charity.
Misuse of "objectively"
One of the few times I've enjoyed him tbh. He was very funny here but still got the job done for charity.
10:52 Arabella was given a multiple choice question that only two answers - 50% chance on a complete guess.... Her answer, "pass". lol
And 30:40 when Barry gets a multiple choice question and chooses a third option that's definitely wrong 😬
She says her pass so confidently as well lmao
You would a least say an answer whether its right or wrong
I know right? I'm glad she was voted off?

Good strategy by Berry because then when it gets to the final 3 the third contestant knows to pick Ed for a guaranteed survival.

In such moments, your body automatically chooses the "flight" response and you say "pass". When contestants say "pass" it is an instinctive response largely beyond their control. Altering your stress response is a long term process and cannot be done in a matter of seconds.
@@hotwax9376 For an American, "Top of the Pops" would likely be an instinctive response because that is the only British music he is likely to have heard about. However, for an English person in 2001, Top of the Pops was a very current show, and not a show you that you would think of when you hear "Which show started 1964..." A calm mind might have guessed that "Top of the Pops" could have started as early as 1964, but with enormous stress on your working memory, even the most intelligent people rely on crude heuristics (not saying that Helen was intelligent). Top of the Pops = Current and Popular = Not 1964. When they hear 1964 they think of "Old music shows" and shows that may come to mind are "The tube" or "The Hitman and Her" (which is what Helen was going for I think), although both started much after 1964. As I said in my post above, because you are expected to answer immediately, you don't have the time or cognitive resources to deliberate and make educated guesses as you could in Millionaire. As for Weimar Republic, goodness your school must have a very strong history education if you think that is a very easy question. I was a trivia champ in school who often represented my school and never heard of it. I first encountered the term a few years ago when I was reading the transcript of a Hitler speech. This is something that I would expect only the nerdiest of my students to know. I was a nerd in college and I never knew.
I love how Anne was dying not to laugh 😂
Sorry , but it was all staged and she was acting .
@@Mark64W you honestly think everyone were actors and it was staged down to a tee? Get a grip.
@@Dead_in__side__ Thank you but I do have a grip . I never said the whole thing was staged ' down to a tee' . Perhaps I should not have used the word ' all ' but I have worked in TV and do know that many things are set ups and staged , purely for entertainment reasons and viewing figures .
@@Mark64Wso in Anne’s script it said “pretend to hold back your laugh”? I find that hard to believe
@@tatuini That's fine . Thanks for your reply .
Only one I recognize is a very young Johnny Vegas. So happy he won.
where's the comedians
Johnny vegas, that's all
How much money they let go simply cause they didn’t bank when the time was counting down was so infuriating
Anne Robinson is a treasure that must be protected.
Got six minutes into this but can't take it any more!
RIP Barry Cryer 😞💔
Challenge also cut out a few seconds of the 1996 family Fortunes intro.
Anne Robinson is like the school principle you never want to meet XD
@Dragonier you know whats more stupid Three people voice for Ed
True.
@@Bobbythundervideogamemaster900 Because Brits hate the Irish, also Anne gave more difficult questions to Ed Byrnes, and d**khead Barry over there, voted for Ed until he got voted off completely. Barry genuinely deserved to get voted off at the first round, all he did was throw off the smartest people, I lost my mind when he got to top 2. I'm so glad Johnny won that, I was kinda routing for Rowland and Ed as well but as long as douchebag Barry didn't win, then I'm fine with it.
27:32 the only reason I knew the answer was because Jeremy Clarkson said it on top gear. The Rolls Royce vs Mercedes challenge.😂
I was trying to figure out who Ed was and then I recognised his voice from Mock the Week
True.
Ed at 4:50 with that stupid hand gesture 20 times.
That's his entire "act".
suprised the Doctor Who question coincidentally ended up on Arabella, considering she played an alternate 3rd Doctor in the Big Finish Unbound Doctor Who audios.
I didn't mind Johnny winning although there were few others were stronger.
