I can honestly say British humour has never ever let me down. We've been spoilt for choice for great shows for decades and each generation seems to produce great comedians.

You really need to watch Sean lock on childrens acting from the big fat quiz of the year, it’s hilarious and one of my favourite moments from him!

For those confused about the name of the show. Its a mashup of 2 shows. Countdown is a maths and words quiz usually played by middle ages ladies or university maths students. And 8 out of 10 cats is a comedy celebrity quiz show. The host and team captains from 8 out of 10 cats are on the "Spin off" version of countdown, which they named 8 out of 10 cats does countdown

Peter serafinwic is in John wick and he’s the voice of darth maul in phantom menace. His sketch show is also well worth a watch

Peter Serafinowicz is part of the team behind one of the most underrated British Comedy series of all time "Look Around You" which is very odd but very funny. The first series is a parody of thoae creaky old videos that were shown to British kids in High School when the teacher couldn't be bothered teaching (I'm not sure if the US had the same thing). 1970s production values and strange electronic music. It nails the feel of those shows perfectly and is brilliant fun to watch. The second series moves on to parody 1970s Science and Consumer shows more generally and is equally funny. Really really weird though.

To explain the strangeways joke. Strangeways is a prison in manchester on the border with Salford (Salford is a city within the borders of Manchester) and is used to house serious criminals from greater Manchester and the surrounding area. There was famously a riot there in 1990 where prisoners scaled the roof for 25 days. This led to widespread prison reform in the Uk

Peter serafinowitz does some comedy but is mostly an actor. He is in john wick 2. And also is the voice of darth maul in star wars

Basically, 8/10 cats is a comedy panel show and it's own thing. Countdown was it's own separate thing as well. 8 out of 10 cats does countdown is when they take over the countdown studio and take the piss on what would normally be a serious game show mostly aimed at pensioners.

Check out Sean Lock and Miles Jupp on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. It’s really funny!

Insults in British humour is term of endearment.

Yes Peter had a great comedy series, played the lead role in The Tick tv series and was in Shaun of the Dead! He’s very intelligent and is amazing in his voice imitations!

Jon Richardson is now married to a very funny comedian, she goes on the show with him sometimes 🤣

The Peter Serafinowicz show was brilliant as well. So underrated. Keep the brilliant videos coming 👏

It began as a special combination of 8 out of 10 cats and Countdown, mixing silly with nerdy, and it just worked well enough to warrant becoming its own show.

Peter Serafinowicz was also in a comedy sitcom called Spaced with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost directed by Edgar Wright. If you havent already, I really recommend giving it a watch.

Yes, this is basically how Jimmy goes about introductions, typically making jabs at them individually, with some exceptions to add extra onto Jon Richardson... unless Josh Widdicome is on, in which case he is being slatted in all of them. He also does the same for Rachel and Suzie, as well as Dictionary Corner's guest (Suzie over the years has been the source of some of his most show-stopping lines - just look up the "Glory Hole" edition)

Peter Serafinowicz is mainly known for his impressions and voice-over work. Probably his biggest role was the voice of Darth Maul.

Note to self: KB can't see you nodding in agreement, or hear your answers to his question when he asks! 🙄🤦‍♀️🤣

Usually starts with a couple topical jokes and then a gentle roast of the panelists.

I'm a Boomerang! I keep coming back, for the laughs!

Here's another one of Jimmy hosting a game show. It's called I Literally Just Told You and it's where Jimmy and the question writers give answers to questions throughout the show and make up questions about stuff that happens as the show goes on. There's this compilation from the second episode where Jimmy is crying with laughter because the contestants are so bad at the game. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7N5msp1uNS0d58.html

Geordies are people from Newcastle in the UK. But Sarah went to school with my sister lol.

Also go heck Rod Gilbert, you can start with luggage clip

Kevin bridges I've got mates like Greece Its hilarious 😂

My favourite is "John turns her off again".

I think Kevin Bridges' "did ye? aye." bit is one of the funniest bits of stand up I've seen. Massively recommend that one. Also, Peter Serafinowicz is a legend :D

Kevin Bridges ‘bus stop joke’ is really good

I often wonder if anyone actually explains the "Eight out of ten cats" thing! About 20 years ago-ish, there was an advert (a commercial as they like to call it State-side) for cat food. The tag line was that 'Eight out of ten cats preferred Whiskas' (Whiskas being the name of the catfood).

+1 for Kevin! As someone who loves Sean, you'll really enjoy him too

Jimmy introduces each guest with a 'mini roast' in every episode. Considering there have been 4 regulars (Sean Lock, Jon Richardson, Susie Dent and Rachel Riley) they still manage to come up with new ones each week.

Sean Lock RIP had me in tears with his jokes great man. good video king boomer. loved the chants usa vs english but you need to look into that more there is some beauties

Going to see Jimmy Carr on 18th September in Dublin can't wait haha

One of our best shows

Peter Serafinowicz almost steals the show in John Wick 2 :D

Kevin Bridges Gimme a quid or you're getting stabbed... I still laugh at the sketch years afterwards

Jon Richardson is married now, and his wife Lucy is gorgeous!

He was in Spaced and Sean of the Dead briefly

Peter Serafinowicz should be way more famous than he is. There's also a great clip of him talking about the Phantom Menace premiere on Richard Herrings podcast.

Inbetweeners ep 3 🙌🙌🙌

Oh hey, remember when you first watched Jimmy Carr ages ago and you said he looks like a game show host... Well... 😂

Adam Hills has a prosthetic foot. That's why he makes light of Lee Mack pulling out of a marathon for a short leg.

Yeah it's how he introduces the contestants b4 the show

Yes it's how he introduces the contestants and panelists 😂😂

Yes Jimmy starts every show like this.

Peter Serafinowicz co-wrote a send up of British TV science shows, called Look Around You.

Peter serafino(however you spell it) was in "The Tick" series too mate,worth a watch :)

Peter played the part of the Superhero called The Tick on Amazon TV.

Peter serafinawicz was also in the 1st guardians of the galaxy. Played a security officer

Kevin bridges would be a challenge for you to understand. He is funny though.

Peter Serafinowicz also played Shaun and Ed's room mate in Shaun of the Dead.

The guy in the black jacket was in that Melissa McCarthy and Jude Law film Spy...

Peter Serafinowicz is the sommelier in John Wick, but he is a comedian, actor, director, writer, etc etc etc

Adam the Aussie has only one leg.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

You might have recognised Peter Serafinowicz from either "Spaced" or "Black Books" - he has relatively minor roles in both of those, and they are both well worth watching if you haven't seen them already.

Went to my local Tesco, England, supermarket Wednesday and had to do a double take, Queen Boomer has a doppelganger.

Peter Serfina etc ... was in Parks and Rec, when Andy worked in England

Peter Serafinowicz played the armourer in John Wick 😁

When he made the American Maths/Math joke there was an American comedian on the panel. A Geordie is a person from Newcastle or the North East of England (just below Scotland) which is where the comedian Sarah Milican is from. Strangeways is a prison in Manchester. He made a joke about that to a comedian from Manchester which I think you missed. Whenever Jimmy Carr makes jokes about a place or country there is someone on the panel from there. He mentions Rolf Harris when the Aussie comedian Adam Hill was on (who only has one leg, which Carr joked about), he was imprisoned for being a paedophile (Google him, it's a disgusting story).

Yeah, it's Jimmy's regular way of introducing the night's contestants.

Brilliant JC insult round-up, cheers King!

The best way I can explain 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown to us Americans is Whose Line is it Anyway Does Jeopardy. So there's a show called 8 out of 10 Cats that has comedians and other celebrities joking around and guessing results of polls and they take the cast and have them play Countdown a show that generally only nerds and old people watch.

Peter Serafinowicz did the voice for Darth Maul in Star Wars The Phantom Menace.

He's like that throughout the show

One of the comedians on that clip is Kathy Bates check her out on kevin and perry. It's from the 90's I think. Her and Harry Enfield play teenage boys. It's really funny. They made a film called kevin and perry go large, it's hilarious.

Hes great Jimmy 😂🙌

Strangeways is a category A prison in Manchester, England.

Peter Serafinowicz ("This guy") was the voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. He was also in Shaun of the Dead, John Wick 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

The jokes about Geordies/Newcastle is based on the fact that for a long time the north east of England, and the north is general, is more likely to suffer from unemployment and poverty, hence the bailiffs, and being in jail. And Sarah is from that part of England. Jon Richardson is lovely but seen as nerdy, wearing cardigans , being a vegan and overwhelmed by OCD so naturally a target for a lot of jokes. Kwvin Bridges does a a great standup. Maybe find the one where he's standing at a bus stop. The person you asked about is Peter Szymon Serafinowicz , an English actor, comedian, director and screenwriter, best known for his roles as the title character in the 2016 live-action series of The Tick, Pete in Shaun of the Dead (2004) and as the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). He has also appeared in many British and American comedy series, and received attention for political satire videos in which he dubs over videos of Donald Trump with various comedic voices. He has also directed music videos for acts such as Hot Chip.

Peter Serafinowicz was in Shaun of the dead as Shaun's flatmate. He played the sommelier in John Wick 2 and also he featured in Guardians of the Galaxy as one of the Nova Corp.

Peter Serafinowicz was in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film too

Peter was also in the tick a series I think it was shown on Amazon prime

Geordies are people from Newcastle, in the north east of England. We are wrongly perceived, because of our accent, as being a bit rough, but year after year national polls show us to be the friendliest people in the country.

8 out of 10 cats was originally a comedy panel game based around fun statistics. Countdown is a words/maths daily game show that has been running continuously since 1984. A few years ago they merged 8 out of 10 cats with Countdown, which is what you see now - and comedy gold was made.

8 out of 10 cats and countdown were both separate programs that’s merged

"Any words you hope to come up this evening?" - "Abdicates." I have seen that before, but I realised just now that that's probably the first 9-letter word in the dictionary...

The "8 out of 10 cats", thing comes from a tv commercial in the 70's, which went, "8 out of 10 cats love Whiskas", which was a cat food.

His Peter Serafinowicz and by chance does an exultant impression of Terry Wogan (see would I lie to you)

The guy you are speaking about, was actually Darth Maul. Legit.

8 out of 10 Cats is a kind of comedy, team, quiz show that was based around silly statistics kinda... If I remember correctly. Countdown was a competitive game show, where two people at a time will compete at two tasks. The first is making the longest words out of a selection of letters, while the second is using a selection of numbers to try to make a target number. Both of these have a 30 second timer or something, hence the name Countdown... Then, at the end of the show, they normally have a selection of letters that are an anagram of a long word, which the contestants will try to figure out before the other for a bunch of extra points... I think the winner normally gets to stay on for the next show, for a limited amount of times... Later on, the people who did best will play in the finals of the competition 8 out of 10 Cats does countdown, I think, was originally part of some sort of event, possibly for charity or something, where they combined the two as a joke.... Then it did well and they decided to do more... Something like that.

Peter Serarinawicz was in Shaun of the Dead and pops up in quite a few movie roles. He also voiced Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace!

COUNTDOWN is a old folks words quiz show.

You mentioned Kevin Bridges, check out his ‘bus stop’ stand up

I feel like you understood about 30% of what’s going on lol

Eight out of ten cats and countdown were separate comedy and quiz shows and were just combined to get the best of both worlds

That guy you asked about was the grumpy room mate from shaun of the dead. He is also the guy that did the vocals for darth maul I star wars episode 1 because Ray park (the actor who played maul) didn't have the right voice for the character

Countdown is a separate show shown in the afternoons. It is a family safe word finding and number solving show. This show was a one off for charity but was so successful it continued as an adult version played for laughs

a bayliff is someone who comes to your house when your behind on debts / bills etc. Think getting your car towed when your behind on payments. They have to sent you a letter advising you they are coming first so hence the jokes

Peter serafinowicz did a skit ages ago, the butterfield diet. Should give that a watch

David Mitchell, Jon Richardson and Charlie Brooker are the same person, born thrice.

Peter seraphin etc. Was in a Guardians of the galaxy film as a No2 and pilot of them planes that linked together to stop the bad guy getting to the planet.

This show is amazingly good.

RIP Sean Lock.

Yes this is how he introduces the guests by taking the piss out of them

Peter Serafinowicz was the original voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. He was also in Parks and Rec.

Peter serefinowic did the voice acting for darth maul in the phantom menace

funfact, during a riot at strangeways prison, the SAS had to be called in to end the violence

Not sure how much you've learned about 8 out of 1010 cats does countdown in the past year, but it's a what in England they call a panel show, which is basically it's a game show, but they have only comedians on to add to the fund and they spend more time on. The comedy than they do on the game show. check out qi sometime. and have you seen the 8 out of 10 cats with Joe Wilkerson's poem yet? "EVERINE LITERAALY CRYING OVER JOE WILKINSON'S..."

You should do all there sets mate there all funny

When he made the American joke,the guy you see right after it,is an American comedian
