Countdown is a show for smart people.( taken seriously) 8 out of 10 cats was just a comedy show. Now 8 out of 10 cats have put countdown in their show. (Not taken seriously)

R.i.p Sean Locke,funny guy who'll be sorely missed

‘Would i lie to you’ is another British comedy show u should watch

Joe Wilkinson's Poem! The whole panel are in stitches

There’s an actual show in the UK that’s called countdown where general public contestants compete but this is just a comedy version where the panel is just comedians and it’s more about the jokes around it that it being serious

thank you so so much for taking in the kittens, i have volunteered at cat rescues i absolutely love cats. i wish more people were as kind and sweet as you guys.

There are numbers and letters rounds. In the number round they can choose how many large numbers and how many small they want up to 9 (including them all). Rachel then presses the button which generates a number and then they have to get closest to that number using the ones they picked (they can add, subtract, multiply, divide) but they can only use each number once. The letter round they choose how many vowels and consonants they want and have to make the largest word from them. Hope this helped haha

Thank you for saving the Cats. They are family, as you basically said. You're a good man, and your lady is a good woman. We need to look after all life and living beings. Love all. Much love and respet to you both and your family.

Jimmy shouting ‘don’t jump off’ to the kittens is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen pwaha especially when he’s normally so witty n tha

Whenever I feel a bit crap I watch some of this and cry laughing this guys laugh is contagious 😆

I don’t watch many reaction channels but I do really enjoy your content! Nice to see your take of our tv shows but even better that you get a lot of our humour! Thanks from Britain 😁

and any and all seasons/episodes of The Graham Norton Show. His format makes magic... Trust :)

you should watch some ricky gervais with karl pilkinton animated podcasts, gold

its a mashup of two British shows. Countdown and Nine out of ten cats. It is just celebs having a Ball.

Love your reactions. And may I say, it was so nice to see Taylor with you tonight. It's good to see you both doing well. Stay healthy, stay safe.

I'm glad you love these clips! I can appreciate that some of the jokes that are about regional things can be difficult to interpret, but you give it a fair chance anyway!

I love how he sits there pissing himself laughing and she has the occasional chuckle. Reminds me of everytime i tell my wife a joke or relate a funny quip to here. Love your vidoes buddy. Your laugh just cheers me up. Thanks for the content

I just saw this in my suggestions, gonna watch now, this is my fave panel show ever, and I'm American. Been watching this for about 4 years now. I binge watch all the episodes over and over.

If you are going to watch a “would i lie to you” clip i wld recomment “kevin bridges bought a horse”

Bless you for saving the kittens. Love,your videos.

What a great collection of excerpts. Brilliant. Great one to review. Thanks.

"Come over to your house and stay in a different room." Good one. You guys take care!

I had no idea what was going on, but it was funny being confused with you! Thanks for taking those kitties!❤

I am so jealous of your room! There is a shop in London near me that sell all 70s 80s models (alien, Ghostbusters, predator, final fantasy, star wars, everything) it's so expensive tho. From what I see that's a pukka collection you've got. Great vid guys 8 out of 10 is one of my favourite shows on the box.

love this channel,love you guys,all the very best from England

Please PLEASE watch “Big Narstie vs Jimmy Carr in epic roast battle”! It’s so funny and you see how quick witted Jimmy Carr really is. It’s something you will really laugh at and would love to see you react to it.

8 out of 10 cats is a comedy panel show, countdown is a day time show with words and numbers. They have combined the 2 for this fantastic show it’s class.

Countdown is an afternoon game show that is often played by intelligent people and is very popular with the elderly. 8 Out Of 10 Cats is a comedy panel show. They combined the two for a one-off special for charity but it was so well received that they made a whole series from it and it's still going today! For a bit more context - The letters game: each team will randomly choose vowels and consonants, up to 9 and then are given 30 seconds to try and make the longest word out of the random selection of letters, which is why getting a 9 letter word is such a big deal! It's also worth the most amount of points. The numbers game: Works much the same, you pick up to 6 numbers. They're separated into two categories big numbers and small numbers. So big numbers are 25, 50, 75 and 100 and small numbers are 1 to 10 then a total is randomly generated and with what numbers are selected based on how many big and small number selections you've chosen, you have to try and get to the total number. You can use all the numbers but you can't use the same number twice! Again you're given just 30 seconds to do so and whoever gets closest to the number gets awarded the points.

Nine letter word is the hardest to get and john takes it serious so that's why he was mad when Lee got a nine letter word

16:14 Thee show that your watching is a comedy version of a show which includes Suzzie & Rachel which is called Countdown and players play to win some sort of Teacup (usually really smart people go on the show) The version you guys are watching have a pannel of Comedians who try to play the game but have a right good laugh doing it

Countdown is a popular UK game show, 8 out of 10 cats (a different panel show) do a regular spoof of it. There's a letters round, where you try to make a word using the 9 letter that are picked (vowel, consonant) and then a numbers round where the contestants try to get to a certain number using the numbers on the board. Hope that helps shed some light on the chaos

Countdown is a daytime TV competition show kind of like Scrabble. Contestants pick a mix of vowels and consonants and then have to make the longest word they can out of them for points. They have a maths round where they puck numbers and a random number is generated and they have to try and get to that number as a result. They also have a round where they unscramble anagrams. Its a serious daytime competition TV show but a while ago the channel that produces it had an event where they mixed different comedy shows with serious daytime shows and they made 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown, which was so popular it ended up continuing after the channels event ended.

Your laughter has brought a smile to my face :)

Just so you can understand if you do any more Cats does Countdown stuff, the way Countdown works is as follows: Letters rounds - You pick 9 random letters (choosing consonants or vowels) then have to try and make as long a word as possible out of the letters only using each letter once. Numbers rounds - You pick 6 random numbers and can choose between 'big' numbers (25/50/75/100) or 'small' numbers (1-9) and then have to try and get to the randomly generated answer using those numbers. You don't have to use all the numbers but can only use each number once. You can do addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Conundrum - There's a nine letter word scrambled up and you have to try and work it out first.

Theres a normal game show called Countdown in UK one part is trying to come up with the longest word of 9 drawn letters, the other part is using math with 6 drawn numbers to get to (or closet to) a target number. 8 out of 10 Cats is a comedy panel show about current events with same host and lots of same cast. 8 of 10 Cats does Countdown is this- a hybrid of the two and quite popular. :)

I’ve seen a few requests for “would I lie to you”. You should defiantly give it a go. David Mitchell is a national treasure

Just stumbled upon your channel (probably because I watch lots of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown haha). I'm American but I lived in the UK for four years, and this show was one of my absolute favorites. The UK does panel comedy shows very well, and this one is fun because you can try to solve the anagrams and math problems yourself, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. The regular Countdown is a very serious, slightly stuffy show where everyone is terribly smart and slightly stiff. Adding comedy makes it fun :)

Theres a show called countdown where u choose vowels and constenant s and 2 teams have to compete the biggest word or in the numbers you have to be able to submit,add,multiply ect to get closest or the exact number that appears each go. This is a comedy panel show that plays the games in a more comical way.

one of my favourite things about watching your videos when you watch together is that you call Taylor (I hope I spelt that correctly) 'my dear' it's just the sweetest

I think you guys would love the show "Would I Lie To You" There are two teams of three comedians and celebrities, both teams have a captain (Lee mack on the right team and David Michell on the left team) Any of the contestants are randomly selected and they read a statement off a card which is either the truth or a lie (funny stories/anecdotes) - the opposing team then has to figure out if the story is true or not There are also rounds where a "mystery guest" is brought on and each member of 1 team claims to have a connection to the mystery guest, then the other team has to figure out who is telling the truth. It's a hilarious British panel show that I think would be fun to watch There are loads of compilation videos on youtube that I think you guys would really enjoy

Countdown is a gameshow where you find words within a jumble of letters, or you use maths to get to a number from the jumble of other numbers. They then made this version which is the same but with comedians and so all hell breaks loose

Countdown is a serious gameshow that's on in the late afternoon, It's very long running (since the early 80s), and is taken quite seriously. It's a very gentle, serious and polite game in the afternoon, very popular with old people in the uk. The comedians that appear on the comedy version are a total contrast to the ordinary version. They play two games, the word game is nine letters are chosen at Random, and the contestants have 30 seconds to make a word from the letters and the longest word wins. The numbers game is six numbers are chosen at random, and a computer chooses a number between 100 and 1000, and using the 6 numbers, once each, the contestants can add, subtract, multiply or divide the 6 numbers to get the number the computer chooses within 30 seconds, and closest to the number wins. Carol Voderman was the original person who did Rachel Riley's job and has been a big name celebrity in the UK through appearing on the original show (Rachel and Carol are both highly qualified mathematicians, and can usually solve the numbers games when nobody else can). Cats does Countdown is a comedy version of the show, which weirdly seems to have eclipsed both the original show and the comedy panel show that it started from. The thing with the cats and the other weird things you see happening is related to the title of the show. Nobody ever thought the original serious gameshow would be popular because every round has 30 seconds of "dead air", where the contestants try and work out the answers, but it works in a strange way because it allows viewers at home to play along. In the comedy version, they use the 30 seconds to pretend that Jimmy gets bored and does something to pass the time while the game is being played.

Love watching you both! Makes me happy :) Also I have the same shirt as Taylor (Sorry if I've spelled your name wrong) or atleast one with that exact pattern and in a very similar style - which I found cool haha :) Much love and respect from England :)

Definitely watch Would I Lie To You, you guys would love it and they have a ton of complication videos to react to!!

Haven't seen any comments explaining the actual countdown game. The guests pick a certain number of 'large' and 'small' numbers and then a number is randomly generated. The guests have to use math to get closest the the generated number. The word version is just a random amount of vowels and consonants and you have to make the longest word you can. Other than that, great vid man!

8 Out of 10 Cats is a panel show where comedians and celebrities will make guesses on news and statistics. Jimmy is the host of normal 8 Out of 10 Cats while Sean and Jon are team captains. Countdown is a Math and Grammar show that's been on British TV for decades and is very straight laced and family friendly. Suzy and Rachel are both on normal Countdown, Suzy being in charge of the English side of things whilst Rachel is in charge of the Math side. 8 Out of 10 Cats did a Countdown special a few years back and it was so well received it's become it's own regular show. The rules of Countdown are you ask for random letters and have to make the biggest word out of them in one round, then you get a random number and have to ask for "big or small" numbers to be able to reach said randomized number, then there's also an anagram round too. It's straight forward when you watch a full episode, but clips like this make it very difficult to catch on. Hope that helps clear it up a little further if no-one else went into full details on this aspect of the show, lol.

WILTY and WISIS are both brilliant British shows. Never seen you guys you just popped up on recommendation very happy laugh 😇 Subscribing hope you do well.

Countdown is a show for intellectual sorts where you have to pick letters and make as big a word as possible to win the round and then get as close to a random number with number you select. 8 out of 10 cats was a comedy show based on opinion polls and weekly news. The two shows were combined for a charity special and was so successful they turned it into a weekly show.

Cats does Countdown is a comedy spin-off of a classic British show, one that’s typically very serious and played by academics. The original show has been running since the 80s and continues today. The original Countdown is a game show with 2 rounds. There’s the numbers round where you pick how many big numbers and small numbers from a series. You then have to use those numbers to mathematically create the number at the top with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The letters round is where they pick from random vowels and consonants to make a word with as many letters as possible. Before ad breaks they give a countdown conundrum which is a long anagram but with a clue that viewers can complete, with the answer being shown at the end of the ads. At the end of the show there is another one that’s for the contestants. Where the original show has one contestant per side and a smooth voiced presenter, this has replaced it with 2 per side and comedian Jimmy Carr. The brilliance comes from the fact that nothing else is really changed, the numbers and letters experts are the same serious people so the contrast of humour is huge and the set is identical; just with less academically gifted comedians being the butt of the joke.

Great work guys I'm loving your videos 👍 Lockdown' am I right 😐

I think you'd really like a full episode of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown.

Basically the main aim is to choose a bunch of numbers and make an equation out of them to make the main number. Or choose from letters and consonants and make the biggest word out of them. Hilarity ensues... 😂

0:02 that was the most jamaican sounding ''my dear'' i ever witnessed outside of jamaicaXD

for the American viewers, Countdown is an afternoon game show on British tv that has been on air since the '70s, it involves letter rounds where contestants choose a set of random letters and whoever makes the longest word wins and anagram rounds where an anagram is revealed and the teams have 30 seconds to guess it, there is also a numbers round where each team has to choose a set of numbers and then gives a random 3 figure number they have to use the chosen set of numbers to get closest to. 8 out of 10 Cats is a late-night free form panel show consisting of comedians and celebs there are Christmas specials each year and an end of year 2-hour round-up of events that have happened, a couple of years ago 8 out 10 cats did a special episode of the countdown and it was shit and so they continued to do them. Carol Vorderman was the lady who had previously done the Job that Rachel Riley now does, she became famous as the thinking mans totty (pin-up girl) as she has an engineering degree from Cambridge

Countdown is a game where there is a number round in which you have to use a selection of numbers to make a random number on the board, a letters round in which you choose between vowels and consonants and you have to try and make the words longest possible. This version is a comedy take on it with not much focus on the game.

They have to choose vowels or consonants and then they get point on who makes the biggest real word with those given letters. The numbers game is you are given a number and you have to use the given numbers to make the large number using +,-,x and devision closest gets points. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o6pyqJR8x8DTpWw.html full episode in case you’d like to watch it

Good man for keeping the cats, mine are called Sophie Bramble "Sophie" and Margarita cocktail "Rita"

Love this show - Sean Lock kills it 🤣

I am equally confused but also equally entertained so I'm not questioning anything.

One of the guys next to Susie is the German comedian Henning Wehn and the Welshman is "angry" comedian Rhod Gilbert. You really need to see Rhod Gilbert on "live at the Apollo" when he's talking about his lost luggage.

You have to search "Joe Wilkinson's Poem" on KZfaq. That's classic countdown gold!

Countdown is a show in its self running since 1982, 8 out of ten cats was a another show that is nuts. One show started doing the other. Countdown Get 9 letters and make words in 30 sec, longest word gets a point for every letter in thier word. They pick numbers high and low and have 30 secs to make the generated number (+-×÷), closest get the points. Theres a conundrum a 9 letter word scrambled to make another.

Countdown is a letters game where you pick 9 letters and have to make the biggest word you can with said letters and after a few letter rounds you have a numbers round where using the number picked you have to make the sum given at the top. It's called countdown because of the big clock behind that counts down.

the letters game - contestants choose either consonants or vowels. Biggest word wins. the numbers game - contestants choose the numbers with the only option being big or small, once numbers are selected at total is given. once the total has been given the contestant must make the total number out of the chosen big or small numbers without using any number twice.

These should be called 'Guy reacts, girl occasionally opens mouth slightly '.

Countdown was a serious game show where people who applied for the show where in different rounds would have to pick a series of random numbers or letters and would get points for making the longest possible words or calculating how the machine came to the numerical answer to a sum, in a set amount of time. It was really for clever serious people. But Jimmy Carr and a load of comedians made a light hearted version of it.

Basically there are five rounds, 2 x letters rounds, 2 x numbers rounds and a final letters round where they have to guess a scrambled nine letter word. Letters rounds involve the contestants picking letters by selecting vowels or consonants and they then have 30 seconds to make the longest word they possibly can from those letters. Numbers rounds involve the selection of 6 numbers by selecting either large or small numbers. The contestants then have 30 seconds to try and make the total shown above the numbers. Usually it’s members of the public who compete but on the 8 out of 10 cats versions all the people on the show, except Rachel and Suzie, are comedians so they mess about a bit more. Hope that helps

After 10 minutes they had your heart bless

Brilliant video, you should watch the show fully.

Cats Does Countdown was originally done as a pastiche in a charity telethon for a UK charity called Children In Need and was so much enjoyed it became a programme in its own rite. It's not the most thrilling viewing (though obviously tastes vary) but if you watched a whole episode of Countdown (a gentle but brainy afternoon quiz show much beloved of the elderly and the unemployed...Hahahahaha) the whole thing would make perfect sense. The show that took it over for this, is called 8 Out Of 10 Cats and is a comedy panel show.

Joe Wilkinson’s poem and Jimmy has lots of jokes about rob becketts teeth

"Nevermind the Buzzcocks" was a brilliant show! they used to make people get that angry they would walk off :D

Numbers = One team pick 6 different sets of numbers (like the letters) and then they get a random number on the board (example = 289). The team who selected the different numbers then get 30 seconds to write down a set of calculations to get exactly (or closest to) the main number, i.e 289. Letters = One team picks 10 different random letters (vowels and consonants) and then get 30 seconds to re-arrange them to create the longest word possible (longer word = more points) Mix it up with banter, stories and jokes in-between the rounds. Final challenge is for both teams and they get a rude and/or funny "word/sentence" which is an anagram they have to decipher (again, in 30 seconds).

This show is a mash up of two other shows. The two women are from a serious maths and anagram afternoon programme called "Countdown". The compere and team members are from a late night comedy quiz show called "Eight out of Ten Cats". That is why some of the comics don't know the rules.

You guys ever seen QI? Great show with a bit of learning aswell. Plus don't think there are many British centric jokes so you're more likely get them

If you really want to get into a British panel show, Would I Lie To You is a good one. Especially episodes with Bob Mortimer.

Countdown - a sensible afternoon quiz show where people try to make the longest word or solve maths problems - loved by pensioners and has been on TV for 38 years. 8 Out of 10 Cats - comedy game show with questions based on strange public surveys. Take the cast of comedians from Cats, add Suzie and Rachel from Countdown, mix in the a good dose of total madness and there you go you have the mad show you are now watching

Countdown is like playing Scrabble and Mathematics.

You should check out the mock the week scenes we like to see it’s very funny

It's called "8 out of 10 cats does countdown" because it's two shows put together "Countdown" is an afternoon quiz show using anagrams for the elderly "8 out of 10 cats" is a late night statistic comedy show (it's called that because 8 out of 10 cats prefer whiskas (cat food))

I watch these videos just to hear you laugh!

You should check out Would I Lie To You

A freefall is a great way of describing the show 😂. I hope you got to watch the whole show at some point because it doesn't make much sense otherwise. It based on the original countdown show but the comedians have taken over

Its a shoe based off maths and english. You pick random vowels, and have to construct words. Longest word wins. Then you pick random numbers, the machine does a calculation and arrives at a random number. You have to use all or some of the numbers to get the number the machine arrives at

This is one of the best tv shows ever made. Watch an episode of normal countdown, then watch cats does countdown. It's hilarious

Since I haven't seen the comment yet -- there might be a method to the silliness that often goes on during each round, as the clock counts down. Jimmy Carr hosted a game show briefly called "Distraction." Four contestants began the show, answering trivia questions. The answers were relatively easy, but buzzing in was not -- hence the name. For example, the buzzer might be surrounded by a cluster of cactus, or you might have to attach clothespins to your face during the round, or you might be wearing a shock collar that goes off when you buzz in. The "distractions" that occur during the rounds might be a callback to that show.

For some context, Countdown is the longest running quiz show on British TV, normally shown around mid-day and is a proper quiz for university students and such. One year, for a charity event, they did a crossover with the panellists from a comedy show called 8 Out Of 10 Cats. The resulting crossover proved so popular that they don't actually make 8 Out Of 10 Cats anymore, they just do their own version of Countdown.

For the letters round, you select a random sampling of 9 letters, and try to form the longest word using those letters that you can, using each letter only once, so 9 letters is the max you can get. That’s what makes the clip where Lee Mack got ‘steadings’ Impressive. For the numbers round you choose 0-4 large numbers (25,50,75,100), and 2-6 small numbers (1-10) and with those numbers try to get to the target number using the basic mathematical functions (addition subtraction multiplication and division)

Countdown consists of 3 games: Letters, Numbers & the countdown conundrum. The letters game consists of contestants choosing a mix of 9 letters (vowels and consonants) , they have to try and find the longest word they can in 30 seconds. The person with the longest word wins and their word score (the number of letters they used) is added to their Points Total. The numbers game is similar, contestants pick a mixture of high numbers and low numbers. The number generator spits out a random number which the players must try to either solve or get the closest to in 30 seconds. You can only use each number once in their solutions. Winner is the person who solves or gets closest to the target number. It is possible for the target number to be unsolvable. The numbers and letters rounds alternate along with the contestant who gets the power of choice. Finally the end of the game is the Countdown Conundrum, both contestants try to solve the final word jumble which forms a 9 letter word. They have up to 30 seconds but they can buzz in at any time to solve. Should a contestant get it wrong the clock will continue and the person will be frozen out of the round until the other contestant guesses or the clock runs out. Person with the most points at the end wins. Extra note: Normal countdown is played with 2 individual contestants whilst 8 out of 10 cats is a team game with teams of 2.

Countdown is the actual show. It has letter and number rounds. Letter rounds involving you trying to get the biggest word from the 9 letter selection. Numbers is trying to reach the target number. 8 out of 10 cats is a separate show which is brilliant, and this is the very popular crossover they do... hope this helps.

It’s based on a serious quiz show called countdown, which does anagrams and maths problems. But this is the same thing done with comedians instead of scholars. The host for years was Richard whitely, but after he died it didn’t maintain its popularity and ended.

It's basically random maths quizzes and individual Scrabble.

Watch the "8 out of 10 Cats does Deal or no Deal". It was a One-off show that they did in the early season of the amalgamation. It's kinda long but has some great moments. 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown is like combining Jeopardy and Hollywood Squares. *Joe Wilkinson is meant to be Rachel Riley's assistant but he's terrible at his job. (She doesn't normally have an assistant on regular COUNTDOWN) Joe is... special.

Numberwang is a series of sketches based on watching one of these shows without knowing the rules. 8 out of 10 cats Does Countdown is the late night adult version of the Countdown show but with professional stand ups and comedians. Countdown and Blockbusters (search for "I'll have a P please Bob") are long running shows that everyone remembers from childhood, then watch later when they're under the influence or recovering. Like jeopardy only with acute constipation and fucking teapots for prizes.

Basically they get given 9 letters, their choice of consonants or vowels and its who makes the largest word. Then they choose numbers, a large number comes up and they have to use those numbers to get as close to the large number on the board

Gotta review “ EVERY single heckle! Jimmy Carr” brilliant

Sorry for long post but trying to fully explain how this game works. Countdown is a words and numbers game. The 8 Out of 10 Cats part just adds comedians to it but the rules of the game stay the same. The first game is picking 9 random letters and in the time limit (countdown clock) trying to make up the largest word you can find. The numbers game is choosing from 6 random small and big numbers (for example 5 small, 1 large might be 3, 5, 7, 2, 8, 75), the computer generates a number based on the numbers chosen and the contestants have to reach the target number but they're not required to use all of the numbers (for example with the numbers mentioned earlier the target might be 750, that would be done easily by doing 7+3x75). They have commercial break anagrams to solve for the audience and a final "Countdown Conundrum" round which is another 9 letter anagram (Example VEGDANCES = SCAVENGED). It's points based, so largest words found, closest to the big number, and first to buzz the conundrum all add to total score. Also if you've ever heard of or seen the English TV show "IT Crowd" I highly recommend you watch it. There's an episode of that show where one of the main characters is accepted into an episode of Countdown.

Countdown has 2 sections. In one, the contestants are given 9 random letters but one of the players can choose which of those letters are vowels and which are consonants (which contestant gets to choose changes each round). They must then make the longest word they can using only those letters (individual letters may be used only once) within 30 seconds. The words must be in the dictionary or they don't count. The second section is the maths one. The contestants are given 6 random numbers and a target number. The goal is to reach the target number using the other numbers via multiplication, division, addition and subtraction (each number may be used only once) within 30 seconds. Edit: There is also a brain teaser right before the ad break where they show an anagram on-screen and provide a clue to the original word. The audience at home then have the length of the ad break (around 5 minutes) to figure out what the original word was. When the ad break ends, they reveal the word.

Countdown is a serious gameshow with a letters round (make a word from the selection, longest wins that many points, 9 letter word scores double for 18 total) and numbers round (make the number given from the selection of smaller numbers, using only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). For a special event years ago, Channel 4 decided to mash a bunch of their programs together, so it got mashed with the comedy panel show 8 out of 10 cats, which is a show about statistics. It became so popular that people asked for it to return, and it's been running now for 125 episodes, with Jimmy Carr as host, usually joined by Sean Lock and Jon Richardson, or guest captains if they aren't available. That, in a nutshell, is what you're watching, but you should be able to watch full episodes on 4OD if you put that into google.

8 out of ten cats do countdown starts by introducing everyone and the item they brought in. Then you go onto the words and number puzzles. The words problems are one team selects vowels and consonants at random and points are given based on word length. The numbers one team select random numbers then a random answer is selected. They must then use the numbers given to reach the selected number. Closest gets points. Then there’s random comedy pits thrown in during the game.
