Your sister won Deathwang. You should be ashamed.

That's Numberwang!

Bro, you’re lucky. She could have accidentally guessed Wolfwang, and then been devoured by the Wangerwolves. And yes, I know that doesn’t sound logical, but it was the European localization of rules from the far different version from Europe.

My parents were too stingy to get the official Numberwang board game and bought me a cheap knock-off version called Wumbernang. That was Christmas ruined. I have never forgiven them for it.

Ironic because 31 is not Numberwang today.

An A.I. such as, perhaps... Collosson?

​@@RichardX1You are Numberwang, I am Numberwang, all is Numberwang

Yes, shinty six is not a numberwang, as in the popular phrases, “sorry you will die in shinty six seconds”

Rowan Aboat Took me a minute. “Countries like Australia” = “countries similar to Australia”

i dont getthe joke cos i speak like that! lol. must be cos im scottish? it makes sense to me

@@collinhunter9792 same

@@collinhunter9792 It’s a classic reversal of expectations, when he says “countries like Australia” you would expect him to be talking about Australia. But it turns out he was talking about countries similar to Australia, such as New Zealand.

@@rowanaboat4523 As a New Zealander, I resent that resemblance.

Well, and just think... In the future, we might get a quantumwang spinoff!

@@DarkPhaaze Quantumwang - in which a number can both be and not be numberwang simultaneously 😂

@@beelzzebub Shrodingers Wang

thats sentancewang

It isn't a joke, it's a serious, high stakes quiz show.

Really? I thought it picked up at that point. I really loved how Colloson would periodically try to take over the world

Maybe don't buy Gamestop, bitcoin, and other meme stocks

From what all the old school market makers say that pretty much was literally the case prior to e-trading….they just basically dictated the bid-ask out of whole cloth. That’s why so many morons got so rich in the 80s.

You could say, it is the SUM of all human knowledge.

I love the idea of aliens putting off an invasion trying to figure out whether or not something is in fact numberwang

@@alexdavison259 It'll take them at least thrilve hundred and neeb years to work it out.

Well in one episode Simon was from space

That's Deathwang!

"Yes, that is a number!"

good idea

It's having a go at him appearing on Dictionary Corner on the game show Countdown hundreds of times. I think more than anyone else 🤣

@@magnumdorkus4222 Ah well I've only ever watched about 5 episodes of Countdown in my lifetime, so thanks for letting me know

Well, his grandfather’s cousin once changed a lightbulb in the original number Wang studio - as he will tell you about at great(!) length.

@@peterfireflylund That's wordwang

Fantastic

I'm literally getting drunk and thinking about shaving as I watch this

Priceless!

He should’ve been PM instead of Boris…he seems to be fairly bright in addition to being the token old Tory on panel shows.

What are the changes?

The fact that everything has been replaced by umlauts and that all numbers that are numberwang are now in German. Such as svintee shix

@@skylanderlego4163 They use a different algorithm to calculate numberwang

Lidl 😂

Maybe because they wrote jokes in German?

For me it made me realize how bad I still am at speaking German😅

I know, total rip off

That _is_ a rip-off! The official price for it was 32,519.87 USD minus 100 Vietnamese đồng.

That's Deathwang!

Now we know

@@spudragious now we know

David's sense of humour has rubbed off on her.

It's not difficult... 😮🤦😬🤤👎

Victoria Coren has that effect on me too

I love how Tom Scott has been on that show multiple times. Plus tons of other game shows, like University Challenge. He's also constantly making his own game shows, he's got multiple different ones in the go at the moment, including one he was commissioned to make by Curiosity Stream for their Nebula streaming site. He must be the person with the biggest obsession for game shows of anyone maybe ever. Seriously he's a fiend for game shows. So that's the only time I've watched Only Connect, purely cos of Tom Scott since he's a British national treasure. But I had no idea what was going on really. It's an even more intellectual gameshow than university challenge. And I'm not _UNeducated_ cos I do have a university degree. But Tom Scott somehow has all this trivia knowledge that he will decimate you with. On his most recent appearance on university challenge he basically answered 95% of the questions himself, so he didn't really even need his teammates. If I was gonna do a pub quiz, I'd want him on my team for sure. Problem with most gameshows though is that they are all about trivia, which is not something you can really be educated in. Getting an undergrad degree for example isn't about rote memorisation of a bunch of facts, it's about learning specific skills such as learning how to research, and learning how to present an argument in essay form, using evidence and logic, etc. So you're either the kind of person who is obsessed with learning all sorts of facts and trivia just for the fun of it (like spending hours every day on a Wikipedia binge, reading through hundreds of articles a day) and so you're great at gameshows and pub quizzes and the like, or you're _NOT_ that kind of person. It's got little to do with how educated you are. Tom is one or those people who's both, though. He's very well educated, with his masters degree in linguistics (and remember, a European masters degree is the equivalent of an American PhD, just like how an American undergraduate degree is the equivalent of of a European high school/secondary school diploma/A-Level/whatever), but he's also one of those people who's a fiend for learning trivia too. I'm really really hopeful that one day, Tom will get his own BBC gameshow that he presents. He's already worked on BBC TV shows before, both behind the scenes and as an on-screen talent. And he's already presented (as well as taken part in) gameshows before. He'd be really good at it. So maybe one day, he'll be the one presenting Only Connect. Or something else, something new perhaps, or one of the bigger more well known shows, like he'd be good at presenting Countdown. I'm sure it's one of his biggest goals, to one day be a presenter of a real TV gameshow. He wouldn't constantly be inventing new gameshows and presenting them and getting millions of views on KZfaq of them, and constantly applying for and appearing on various different gameshows on British TV, if he didn't want to one day present a proper TV gameshow himself. Fingers crossed he succeeds. These days, traditional media like TV is way more open to having KZfaq stars on them. They don't look down on KZfaq as much as they used to.

It's very simple. The contestants are smug and middle class and usually related and Victoria appears constantly pissed and makes unfunny innuendos about a former politician who wears florescent golf trousers on old trains. See, simple.

The offside rule is easy to understand though. You have to have at least 2 opposition players between you and the goal at the moment when the ball is passed to you, if and when you receive the ball. That's it. That's the rule. Usually one of the two players is a goalkeeper, but it can be any two players.

No.

@@mauriciogerhardt3209 Yes.

Hooraywang!

They did a bunch of those! So great

Ah, but they said eighteen, not 18.

When in reference to cakes it is. Don't worry, many forget this rule.

Back when this was made, 18 was Numberwang. It changed afterwards.

@@michaelkobylko2969 Indeed. Today, 18 is only numberwang on Good Fridays; eighteen on the other hand is numberwang on all days except Good Friday, though it doesn't count as Numberwang if England is in a state of Peace.

They played the German rules

Yeah, but it just doesn’t taste the same without the bits.

@@JackHeadphonius you're not wrong and believe me, it's not as good when you add your own.

What are the jokes?

@@JulianBlacket What are the jokes in the English version? This is Numbafail!

There was another pilot for Cakewang, which was means to be somebody baking a number cake, and if it wasn’t Numberwang, the unlucky contestant would be sentenced to Deathwang.

The British government sold the blueprints of Colosson after the war, to help pay for reconstruction

There is a very obscure Chinese version called “Shu Wang” only twentington clips exist of it

Well "wang" means "penis" in English so I guess they're wanking the number penis

same in china

Colosson IS the event.

Don't talk about the event. It will cause stress. The event is in the past

We mustn’t talk about the event. Oh crap. They’ve got in.

Well sadly, only shinty six copies exist of the Numberwang board game, so people have had to play Cucumberwang, which would be s**t
