yes !!!

Woop! I knew it. Good taste, lass x

yes! he is awesome!

+Lydia Coutts I'm here on a Mitchell binge. But Ayoade is very good.

***** Fair dos, Mitchell is ace too!

Becca Padrick when everyone’s KZfaq preferences* align* x) I can’t spell apparently

NuStrings ha shit, yeah got me there, soon enough it’ll be more *’s than words

I still wonder what the third option was that made him crack up so hard :(

@@AslanW he couldnt get over "god damn i love these peaches" it is his favorite part of the joke

I get a fat cock whenever I reaches.

Would I lie to you?

They only rarely met on wilty. Now they have a full series together, which is great.

Wait, what? I don't remember Ayoade on WILTY. Man I wish he was...

Jack Hayes Richards never been on WILTY..

+Tsuruya San They were on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year together though. Same team a couple times too.

Thing ‘bout Dick Ayoade, you can never accuse him of going axe-happy on a trout farm and killing a bunch (≈ 57) of fish.

Hands off he's mine Lol.

lol k

I have to say I like this better than any American show cx

Stephen Fry Would agree with you. Me too.

I had the exact same thought this episode. Spot on!

I think the Brits are a lot better at self deprecation. I think with being such a bleak, rainy country with such an unstable economy for so many years we've all just sort of got used to the idea that we're a bit crap and we moan about it but at the end of the day we just get on with it and laugh at ourselves and each other.

Ditto - on all counts 8-)

Same

I like you Ricky

Can I be on your panel show? I will bring the funny.

Jep same

Ayoade is sharp as a tack.Love watching him in what ever he does.

@@elisabethsullivan227 this is the weirdest comment to find out was copied.

+Dubbadizzo86 I sincerely appreciate Americans like you (assuming you're American).

+Unknowledgable Noob Yes sir.

+Dubbadizzo86 i agree. I love how they can say something really inappropriate and nobody gets bent out of shape

I live in NY and I prefer British television, I've started preferring it at the age of 14 and my love for it has only grown.

I liked your comment but I'm of the opinion that, Graham Norton pales in comparison to David Mitchell and Richard Ayoade.

It doesn't seem good for a gameshow with serious point-scoring but I like the way the open-ended questions often lead to off-topic conversations.

Yeah it would be a terrible show if the players were actual game show contests trying to win rather than comedians

it's not a gameshow: it's a panel show: it's just a format to give witty people a chance to display their genius.

I agree! That's why I like watching your sister...😂😂😂

houndofzoltan Well said ! Similar to @midnight , etc there is no real “winner” or prizes. It’s just more of a “party game” would be another way to describe panel shows.

That is excellent, who said that?

@@abewilson6830 it is an anonymous quote, no one knows who said it.

@@Mimi-bx8zm Too bad

@@Mimi-bx8zm I said it. Source: me

A mouths a mouth is my favourite quote. Its phil daniels line in time gentleman please menu

_ Brett _ Amen

_ Brett _ watch the big fat quiz

_ Brett _ Naah.. I dont want the same comedians on every single show! I like that there's variety on british tv shows unlike here in Sweden where we only seem to have about 5 comedians ._. and only 2 of them are any good!

those two together get quite silly, which is enormous fun, but once in a while i like to see richard on his own

The only truth

Roxanne Star jimmy carr is the best host! But I like David too

slipped out of character

Goofball Ayoade brings me such joy

Oh I think that was about the 'I'm not too proud to google myself' part! rather than the underwear haha

***** always...

What were they thinking bringing Walcott on that early?

I really wish you hadn't shared that..!

And the knowledge that _He knows and is privately getting off on it_ O__O

+Jack Davids I know right? I'm from California, and I always get some kind of stomach cramp from laughing too hard.

+Emma J That's probably all the burgers. 😊

There's a video with Stephen Fry and he (I think) perfectly sums up the difference between American and British comedy. Americans are so boastful and full of themselves. It makes for mostly unpleasant viewing (this is just my opinion). Whereas Brits are so witty, and yet so 'down on their luck'. Its a lot funnier to see someone who's miserable and acts like he doesn't want to be funny, then someone who's happy and tries to hard to be funny.

It wouldn't translate. Different kind of humor.

+The Veneficus Exactly! The same idea in the soap operas. Ameican soaps are rich, good looking people, British are working class and not particularly attractive. More relatable to most, and my personal preference!

I would imagine it's a greater number than the people who have watched a youtube video and thought, "Oh great! People have commented on this. That will really add something to this video". But honestly, I think that compared to others from her line of work, she's performs remarkably well on panel shows. She seems to carry herself naturally and participate comfortably among a group of seasoned comedians. That's not easy to do. I've seen many panelists completely cave under that atmosphere. While it may be safe to say that most viewers would rather see another great comedian in her spot, it's also fair to say that she is far from the worst choice for a panelist.

+Abi Daker Having seen her on Never Mind the Buzzcocks (I think?) and she did pretty well then, I was actually quite pleased. It's something different. And in this show she does pretty well again. So it does add something to have a variety of guests.

I kind of like her as well. She does a good job considering she's not a comedian. :)

+Abi Daker It's nice to have someone on (doesn't matter who) who isn't funny enough to make jokes. They focus on the game, and you end up getting the feeling that the game actually matters to the players. Contrast with Never Mind the Buzzcocks or Mock the Week, where you rarely, if ever, get the feeling that anyone is trying to win. I don't even know why I think that's an improvement, I just do.

Max Roderick Dont hate on the Buzzcocks! It was so fucking brilliant. And I just want to point out Lily Allen sure as hell wanted to win, she almost had a breakdown! XD

Acesss hiiiigh

December 8th. So far near the end of that year it's a lie to claim 1941 as it was practically over.

Gambit771 cash and carry began in 39 followed up by lend-lease in early 1941 which distributed the modern equivalent of nearly a trillion dollars worth of supplies and cash funding to the allied forces. Effectively, the US was involved in the war effort from the beginning. It may have only actively joined halfway through, but its contributions were instrumental to the war effort. Why is it that David Mitchell's shows always provoke WWII debate?

True selling weapons and having fellow countrymen volunteer does mean technically you're involved but America should not be proud of their actions if they want to go round claiming they won the war single handedly. You don't use a war to make money and gain power, trying to weaken your allies and say see we was in it from the start. All you've done i help the enemy

Kevin Curran Richard and Judy have a bone to pick with you...

It's arguable that U.S.A. banks funded nazi party, so maybe U.S.A. was there even before the beginning.

This is only corroborated by Shelley himself and biographers who have reported it have only his word to go by. 99% bullshit

Yes. Was he dancing with Victoria Coren or Robert Webb?

Either Brooker or Miles Jupp.

I'm pretty sure they envision him as being to Ayoade as Lee Mack is to David Mitchell - it seems like people enjoy seeing very opposed types on shows like this.

RyanGiggsOBE Indeed, Ayoade especially is a comic genius. Unlike many, he doesn't even have to try...

Given just how commonly known that joke was, I don't think they felt it necessary to hang a lantern on it. It would be like making Einstein the patron in a bar, with Santa Claus and Greta Garbo, and feeling the need to point out that Einstein never was in a bar with Santa or Greta. Everyone knows the joke, so no one needs to be told it is a joke. And regarding his late-speaking in general being apocryphal - I don't agree that it is. I've read the argument from the archives, claiming that there is insufficient evidence to suggest he had a learning disorder, and frankly their conclusions are puzzling. They admit he talked quietly and to himself, til the age of 7. They admit that even he said he began speaking late. But because he did do well in second grade, and his grandparents thought a two-year old was droll, obviously the family story of him being a late talker was just an invented legend because of an overanxious mother? I find that to be a very dubious conclusion, equal to their suggestion that his ability to learn German meant he wasn't likely to be dyslexic - as if dyslexia being a learning disability, it was the ONE learning disability, that either you have or you don't. Or for that matter, as if not a single German person has ever managed dyslexia. To my knowledge, there isn't a single learning disability, that you either have or you don't. Every single one of them, comes in some degrees, or in variant types. There are at least 3 separate types of ADHD, Aspergers and Autism have scales of functionality. I NOW know, that growing up I had two separate learning disabilities, and not even I had a clue - because my brain was just good enough, to work around them. I imagine if a person of Albert Einstein's intelligence had a learning disability, at a time when screening for such things effectively didn't exist, it would not be obvious by a glance at his grade-school report cards. Plus, studies (published BEFORE the determination Einstein didn't have Dyslexia) have indicated that English is harder than German, for dyslexic children to grow up learning, because of the inconsistencies in our language. There are fewer words that can be spoken phonetically, and too many variances in our spelling rules. Dyslexia isn't a single condition - much like Cancer isn't a single condition, but a term for an entire body of medical conditions. Dyslexia is a series or reading, writing and language issues, that can occur to varying degrees, manifest in various ways, and be caused by different things. I am disinclined to trust the conclusions of a group of biographers - who obviously didn't do much research on what Dyslexia is or how it affects language skills before making their argument - over Einstein's own statements, about the difficulties he had with language and learning through traditional rote memorization methods.

Um... I don't... I...

+Stephen Haley Well to be fair, 'me and Judy [had]' doesn't involve an apostrophe.

Point taken, Not sure I should say "my bad' - is that correct grammar??

Stephen Haley I believe that to be correct you would need to say: "The bad is mine, good sir!"

LOL! Oh! Sorry!

+CS_FL Well he didn't say "me an' Judy" I guess.
