Salter such a prick

The way McDaid just pulled Amy Schumer out of thin air was beautiful

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 20:27 (eight years ago)

Aw bless Jackson having a sulk

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 20:28 (eight years ago)

they said 'asterix' and laughed but i only knew it was vercingetorix from reading asterix.

That Ulster team is so genial and chill. Makes me want to go there and get a PhD in carpets or w/e

Classic contest tbf

Celebrity version

Theroux is being a real prick about being captain and only him being allowed answer

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Thursday, 7 December 2017 20:01 (eight years ago)

wait what when was this

kinder, Thursday, 7 December 2017 21:38 (eight years ago)

They're repeating some old celeb ones on bbc4

Mark G, Thursday, 7 December 2017 22:07 (eight years ago)

Ya

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Thursday, 7 December 2017 22:23 (eight years ago)

a child would watch a Hammer film on Channel 4

haha otm

already knew Will Hutton was a disgusting savage but he proved it on this last night

all this youthless booty (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 20 December 2017 10:01 (eight years ago)

two weeks pass...

bruce dickinson and tony james have been on the last couple of xmas episodes. tony james didn't recognise 12xu by wire. fail...

koogs, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 12:58 (eight years ago)

Bruce Dickinson is a v cultured man and so expressive! Loved him kicking himself for failing to recognize Fine Young Cannibals.

Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 13:02 (eight years ago)

bd knew nietzsche, even if he couldn't spell it*. the others just had blank looks even after he'd said it out loud.

* me neither

koogs, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 13:11 (eight years ago)

one of them tried to do bantz about it too, very bad form

Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 13:53 (eight years ago)

Yeah, I couldn't spell Nietzsche out loud under any sort of pressure. But fair fucks to him for having a bash at it. Yesterday's lot were v poor. Iwan Thomas really would turn up to the opening of an envelope - I'm sure if he tries enough celeb guest spots on stuff he'll find something he's good at eventually (it's not dancing or cooking or surviving on an island or being on Countdown or quizzing).

ailsa, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 13:54 (eight years ago)

I thought it was rather pathetic that no one knew who FYC were.

And that one whole team had never heard of Nietzsche.

And that Chiles thought the definition of 'Oxford comma' (as including the name of a city) led to the answer 'semi-colon'.

the pinefox, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 14:53 (eight years ago)

I've recorded them and just catching up. no-one's mentioned Lee Adama?!

kinder, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 21:31 (eight years ago)

yeah he was a surprise package

Number None, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 21:32 (eight years ago)

Punk songs when your team has him out of Generation X in it is a fucking gimme.

Still didn't guess Wire!

Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:52 (eight years ago)

xpost he was really pretty good, more so than some of the stuffy old academics who seem to think anything outside of their comfort zone is entirely beneath them.

ailsa, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 23:28 (eight years ago)

Katy Brand surprisingly good too (actually not that surprising if you've heard her on Infinite Monkey Cage)

The other thing I find a bit o_O is the number of people who graduated after me

koogs, Thursday, 4 January 2018 03:24 (eight years ago)

Very chatty tonight.

koogs, Friday, 5 January 2018 01:12 (eight years ago)

koogs, Saturday, 6 January 2018 15:54 (eight years ago)

This Newcastle team tho

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Monday, 8 January 2018 20:42 (eight years ago)

The stop-start animation one, three.

Mark G, Monday, 8 January 2018 21:02 (eight years ago)

JS Bach was none of the musics fyi

I know because I said it three times and all were wrong

Got two of the chapters of great manifestos tho

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Monday, 8 January 2018 21:06 (eight years ago)

I got "Swan Lake" after 0.025 secs, like everyone else.

Mark G, Monday, 8 January 2018 21:12 (eight years ago)

This utter cock

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:34 (eight years ago)

A friend just messaged me to say that

hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:39 (eight years ago)

Ya but which....

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:41 (eight years ago)

Fucking Coco

hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:42 (eight years ago)

Just checking

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:47 (eight years ago)

Urgent boy is urgent tho

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:47 (eight years ago)

The captain? He's quite annoying but I just assumed my class bigotry was showing

hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:49 (eight years ago)

all 8 of them look like a panel out of Viz's Student Grant

hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:51 (eight years ago)

He was also a pushy dick to his teammates and it would not be like me to imagine he was moreso to her

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Monday, 15 January 2018 21:03 (eight years ago)

When Maloney gets one right, Howe sarcastically repeats his answer to Tindall.

Mark G, Monday, 15 January 2018 23:50 (eight years ago)

I got all the file compression questions right. Just saying.

lz is something I associate with the Amiga, was never really popular on Windows (which favoured PKZIP) or Linux (gzip)

koogs, Tuesday, 16 January 2018 06:29 (eight years ago)

Can we talk about why the BBC moved Only Connect to the earlier slot?

I mean, OC is fine (I guess), but it's clearly the optional digestif not the first course

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 16 January 2018 12:30 (eight years ago)

Victoria Coren is also fine (I guess) but her patter is reaching Kaufmanesque levels of punchlinelessness

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 16 January 2018 12:32 (eight years ago)

I kind of enjoy that. I choose to see it as schtick rather than incompetence

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Tuesday, 16 January 2018 12:40 (eight years ago)

it's very much a deliberate production choice

i agree it's wrong bumping UC tho, I'm not that fussed about watching OC nowadays

hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 16 January 2018 12:43 (eight years ago)

True - it often feels like a "how far can I push this" joke with herself. I don't mind it, but my partner hates it, I can feel her teeth gnashing every time Coren does a routine.

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 16 January 2018 12:52 (eight years ago)

Oh yeah I mean you could see that

remember the lmao (darraghmac), Tuesday, 16 January 2018 12:53 (eight years ago)

We're always watching OC on catchup anyway so I just fast forward past VC's ramblings. Can you imagine the smugbucket conversations she and Mitchell must have at home?
