DCI Robert Reginald Darlington Skeleton and DCI Roderick Ignatius Makepeace Raven. Those are my name suggestions for the goth detectives. I'd watch it.
You've got a pretty huge chip on your shoulder. There are some good US comedians, like Louis CK. And I agree with George Carlin. But imo, in general, American comics are weak. Look at Daniel Tosh, Dane Cook, Kevin Hart, Jeff Dunham, Tracy Morgan, Carrot Top. Compare that with Jim Jefferies, Tim Minchin, Ricky Gervais, John Cleese to name a few
They’re just the perfect team, Noel is just so ludicrous and Russell just has the quickest wit, he’s NEVER at a loss it’s just incredible, they’re the best
Watching this many years later, fair play to David and Rob for realising early on that it'd be funnier overall if they played the straight man role for Noel and Russell to do their thing. A very giving thing to do as comedians.
i really love how Russell stays quiet, uses the time the audience applauds and laughs to come up with a witty comeback opposed to immediately respond where the actual replies goes lost in the noise. Smart man.
"Not enough David! This ain't some prance across the channel, this is a quiz. You got to take it serious, don't muck around!" I've watched that part more than a 100 times and I still die laughing!😂😂😂
The Class Clowns won, the normal kids who laugh with the class clowns got second place and the uptight serious stiffs lost. There is a lesson here, somewhere...
@@Codex7777 he was during this full unedited episode. he was quite furious about the way the boys were playing the game and trying to take attention through comedy when it was why the episode was so good lol. You can totally see it everytime they panned to his facial expression and it wasnt a joke.
@@itschrispretorius david walliams and rob were just playing a role, someone had to be the "stiff" so that russel and noel could go mad, its textbook and wallliams knew this and did it perfectly
+Jonathan Charles Dry, inappropriate humour, that's a little geeky and a bit offensive is such a difficult trait to find in friends in this day and age. Everyone is too desperate to be offended.
Noel: "We've lost our pen now!" Russell: "Oh that pen was holding us back!" Noel: "It's gone in the gap." The gap has had it's revenge... it shall never be ignored again and if it is... it will eat your pen.
"Please! This is a happy occasion! Lets look beyond the division of football teams, and look at the unifying force within us all! Sex!" I love how flirtatious Russell is.
Noel was so cute on this BFQotY, and I love the way he and Russell interacted. I love how they kissed each others hand after they had won a point and the kiss Noel gave Jimmy at the end!
i love the way russel long winds everything he says - "it makes it hard for us to derive humour from the situation, but in terms of points we are immaculate."
+James Davey Johnny Depp based the character on Keith Richards which is why Keith ended up playing his dad in the films so technically Jack Sparrow is supposed to be british
I don't understand why people take him seriously here. They're all playing the roles of kids; the two cool kids who were a bit stupid versus the bossy uptight Boffins (David even said, 'it hurts here and here now!' That's the sort of thing a child says.) Russel and Noel wouldn't have been as funny as they were if it wasn't for Jimmy and David playing the Straight Men.
i have never watched a video of a quiz show that i laughed my ass off the whole time, i never knew that a quiz shows could be this entertaining i must watch more tv
Still waiting for the Goth Detectives. Never seen/thought about Noel and Russell proforming together, but I've been smiling for half an hour so maybe I should look into it
Omg you should look into them performing live at the cancer trust or teen cancer trust? I can't remember. But they properly cut some guys hair off on stage! Giving him a "goth" make over.
I don´t think Ayoade would feel comfortable. Brand is quick and witty but kinda tends to suck the oxygen out of every room. Noel is quirky and flamboyant too, but in a much more mellow way, so he complements Ayoade without overshadowing him. Sorry for my english, it sucks and I´m aware of it :)
@@EmziTV Yeah, but Brand was interviewing Ayoade, so the roles were defined from the get go and Brand had to do the listening. Anyway, I might be wrong :)
@@juanitaonthego7745 Lmao, why is it always the non-English speakers who speak it perfectly who apologise. And why would you feel the need to apologise? English speakers don't feel apologetic when they mess up a foreign language
It's ironic just how much Noel and Russell are made for each other because they have such great charisma and individuality they should have their own channel on sky as well as be in a band together, they're the greatest duo ever 😛😛
I swear he and Noel act just like me and my best friend when they're together. Gotta love when they're both together and cracking jokes like that. They sure do look like they're having fun.
russel speaking in a dramatic shakespearean way to try to talk his way out of everything is hilarious XD
i too have indeed taken on the same shakespearean dialect in everyday life as a 26 yr old millennial lol. it has a very desirable effect.
@caring-is-creepy LOL. not elevated enough
@caring-is-creepy hey check out my youtube man! just started last month..12k views now and almost 200 subs xx
More Dickensian in my opinion. :)
kinda works too
9 years on still waiting for The Goth Detectives to air
+Kathleen Barlow Boris Johnson and Russell Brand couldn't have more different political views!
They did perform a sketch at a fundraiser for children's cancer for the Goth Detectives
They are goths. Too depressed to get out of their coffins to start writing
I would generally watch that...
Because they’re goths they are working on it but they’re only on the first scene. Taking a sec
That panicked "What should we do!?" from Russell Brand lol
I preferred the disgusted "it's a kind of butter"
Russell has such a large vocabulary it's beautiful
It's beyond gorgeous
I would say its rather prepossessing
that dosen't make sense, but because i had too look it up i would have assumed you were right
What was the Nostradamus reference he made tho? I dont get it :/
DjDutch nostradamus made prophesies. russell claimed that he and noel ("like nostradamus before us") were seeing into the future
This is the perfect distillation of a typical classroom where Jimmy is the frustrated teacher.
Russell and Noel are the class clowns
@@immaculatemisconception24 David and Rob are the Smartasses
This is all correct
But they're secretly the teacher's favourite kids in the class
Russell and Noel are the most adorable couple in the world.
yesyes
They're not a couple.

@@petejackson612 eww, i fucking hate this kind of reply
“It makes a mockery of the etch a sketch, I don’t care for it”😂
" Noel is explaining to Jimmy that a victory for us will be good for the country " I almost died laughing!
I just imagine that Sirius Black was just exactly like Russel throughout school
I couldn’t have said that any other way. That’s the perfect way of explaining it.😂
Siruis Black in his rebellious stage you mean😂
and james didn’t look like noel but acted a lot like him because him and sirius bounce off each other ?
Noel is a remus type, chaotic introvert
Now i think james or remus went through a goth phase and I Cant stop laughing
Rod Raven and Bob Skeleton, the infamous Goth Detectives
"Goths don't run"
LOL.
"If we weren't so fucking miserable" "suppress the homosexuality" 😂😂😂
we can't mate, the pants won't permit it
DCI Robert Reginald Darlington Skeleton and DCI Roderick Ignatius Makepeace Raven. Those are my name suggestions for the goth detectives. I'd watch it.
Retrovirus YES
I love how Noel, one of the weirdest comedians on TV, can't keep a straight face near Russell.
fancies him, obviously.
Noel Fielding never has a straight face..
***** Was that a gay joke?
No, just a 'Noel Fielding always looks like he's giggling' joke. :)
***** Oh, I was trying to be cleaver by cutting in or chopping.
"He's traditionally handsome."
"What am I?"
Noel. You are the prettiest lady to ever been on the big fat quiz.
It's been a decade and I'm still watching this🌝
+CabraLad Poor internet connection? Boom-boom-tish.
+Clive Gorman 😁
Me too.
Yup.
same:)
Noel and Russell should have their own sitcom! It will be hilarious!
Too much of a good thing!
That would be the best sitcom to have been aired.
Best quote ever "A victory for us would be good for the country"
Nothing we have in the USA can touch these shows. Brilliant
Yeah British comedy tends to be the best
You obviously haven't heard of George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Richard Pryor. Just like the Revolution, I'd say we won this war too.
Clearly you haven't heard of tommy cooper, jimmy carr,russel howard, frankie boyle and basically every other british comedian
Oh I have. I just know that just like the U.K. as a whole they're relegated to second class citizens on the world stage.
You've got a pretty huge chip on your shoulder. There are some good US comedians, like Louis CK. And I agree with George Carlin. But imo, in general, American comics are weak. Look at Daniel Tosh, Dane Cook, Kevin Hart, Jeff Dunham, Tracy Morgan, Carrot Top. Compare that with Jim Jefferies, Tim Minchin, Ricky Gervais, John Cleese to name a few
It's like Noel is just writing down crazy shit and Russell is like 'I can make this work'
Noel Fielding and Russel Brand are too pure for this world and must be protected...Like some kind of endangered vole.
Voles aren't endangered, perhaps should be...
Presumably that's 'pure' in the same way that cocaine isn't?
Voles mate for life, I'm pretty sure it's more of a jackrabbit situation
Ahhh not age well did it
They’re just the perfect team, Noel is just so ludicrous and Russell just has the quickest wit, he’s NEVER at a loss it’s just incredible, they’re the best
Noel is too precious for this world.
xendark He's in his 40's now and I still agree with this statement.
Stone he doesn't look like he's in his 40s at all. Must be a result of smiling a lot and being fun.
Watching this many years later, fair play to David and Rob for realising early on that it'd be funnier overall if they played the straight man role for Noel and Russell to do their thing. A very giving thing to do as comedians.
Something David unfortunately did not notice
@@Millez he did
Its a little surprising how much of a genius Russell actually is, he is incredibly smart but he just doesnt care and he loves to have fun. What a hero
''Could we play ourselves in the corridor scene?'' had me in fucking stitches!
"...If we weren't so bloody miserable."
Look at the two of them, They never stop smiling. I see no misery
Russell is diagnosed bipolar.
i really love how Russell stays quiet, uses the time the audience applauds and laughs to come up with a witty comeback opposed to immediately respond where the actual replies goes lost in the noise. Smart man.
The irony here is that noel and Russell are probably the two smartest people in the room
+
Definitely
and the two best football experts!
Watching all these Noel & Russell commentary and wishing I didn’t take life so seriously...they are both having a BLAST!! 😂🍁Allow my weirdo out!! 😅
They’re very smart, I’d argue rob brydon was the most intelligent tho
"We're stuck together with hairspray." :D
Goth Juice of course.
"Not enough David! This ain't some prance across the channel, this is a quiz. You got to take it serious, don't muck around!" I've watched that part more than a 100 times and I still die laughing!😂😂😂

24:13
Literally my two favourite people
+lewis Nunn the GOFFF Starsky and HUTCH these two are somehow like 70's GOTH/METAL heads with a sprinkle of boarding school naughtiness!!
And I’m back
You know what.. I've learnt more words from Russell Brand today than I did at high school. I think he would be proud!
When they kissed each other's hands at 12:50 and I died a little inside.
they're legitimately so cute it kills me

Legend, that’s the exact part I came for! Thanks for the timestamp!
It's the delivery
By far this was the best big fat quiz
i’m convinced russell is the reincarnation of a romantic poet from the 17th century
Russell is definitely Lord Byron personified in the modern era
Lol whereas Noel is just Rod Stewarts long lost goth son🤣
10 years and I'm still here waiting for the Goth Detectives...
They did it, but it was only once during the Teenage Cancer Trust in 2007.
Russell and Noel together are the best combination
What people usually don't realise is Russell has been clean for a decade now, no drugs or alcohol. He's just a damn cool, and sometimes eccentric, guy
any combination of noel fielding, russel brand, and richard ayoade is amazing. i loved jack whitehall and james corden on bfq 2012 too
I would love to spend a week with these two and maybe invite Richard Ayoade and just die laughing
And Simon Amstell.
+Monica .Thal And Dylan Moran.
+Jonathan Charles Omg yes. And just to fuck with them all Frankie Boyle.
+Monica .Thal You guys can move in with me whenever you want. Clearly there wouldn't be a scuffle for the TV remote.
+Jonathan Charles Dry, inappropriate humour, that's a little geeky and a bit offensive is such a difficult trait to find in friends in this day and age. Everyone is too desperate to be offended.
I can't stop smiling and laughing because this is just too fucking cute! Noel is adorable and both are hilarious
yes and they really are girl magnets, Cat is just gushing laughing over all their answers like a star struck little school girl.
james friel so true though. People like them as much for their humour as their looks, I feel
They both have the winning combination!@@karmaattano636
Noel: "We've lost our pen now!"
Russell: "Oh that pen was holding us back!"
Noel: "It's gone in the gap."
The gap has had it's revenge... it shall never be ignored again and if it is... it will eat your pen.
"Please! This is a happy occasion! Lets look beyond the division of football teams, and look at the unifying force within us all! Sex!"
I love how flirtatious Russell is.
10:30
That was fucking priceless
it was fukin shit
he had a sex addiction at the time...
I wish I could save this comment
Noel was so cute on this BFQotY, and I love the way he and Russell interacted. I love how they kissed each others hand after they had won a point and the kiss Noel gave Jimmy at the end!
i love the way russel long winds everything he says - "it makes it hard for us to derive humour from the situation, but in terms of points we are immaculate."
“He had an off beat delivery, I loved it”
Every moment they just fall in sync is beautiful. 27:37 where Jimmy is still being surprised by them is so good
Russell Brand is like the British Jack Sparrow.
+James Davey Is Jack Sparrow not british?
+Elitepear I believe he is from the caribbean as the title of the movies suggests....
Yeah you know, those people from the Caribbean with British accents...
+Jonathan Reite (Jonrei) It was British occupation in the carribean, I think.
+James Davey Johnny Depp based the character on Keith Richards which is why Keith ended up playing his dad in the films so technically Jack Sparrow is supposed to be british

This makes me realize how dense American tv is compared to English tv. Everyone here is is quick witted and funny. You don't get that here.
They don't have to waste energy making sure the audience understands.
"It says on the tube, 'Mind The Gap', I've always ignored it, and now the gap's bit back." 5:50

David's meltdowns every time Noel and Russell get a point or compliment haha.

These two stole the entire show an you can see how much it annoyed Rob and the guy what done some swimming that one time.

noel is like a precious shy child always
noel and russell are adorable :3
"Bob Skeleton, congratu-well done."
Noel Fielding is an actual real artist,quite impressive bio
Noel is, and always will be, a child of wonder...
I remember watching this as a teen it was soo funny. Definitely best show they did, Russel and Noel are the dream team 😍
Walliams is brilliant in this, Noel and Russell steal the show and he lets them playing along brilliantly.
And then they all went backstage and had a cuddle with Guy.
noel and russel need to make a show together
this is like the original cards against humanity XD
Rob: Do you own any other clothing?
Noel: Challenge accepted.
noel: *becomes a bird*
24:40 Jimmy laughed like a legit person. What's up?!
xsotax that’s because his laugh is sort of a publicity stunt, doing something unnatural to stand out in the vast world of comics
14 years later still waiting for the goth detectives 😂
They’re the smart kids too smart for their own good and they get bored 😂
Jonathan laughed so much here.
I love when David's voice raised 4 octaves higher when he's bitching. LMAO KOJACK?
Jimmy Carr, Russell Brand and Noel Fielding. Best combo.
love these two but walliams antagonising them makes it more funny :')
I love how they had so many funny moments from this show - which was an hour and three quarters - that they managed to have half an hour of best bits.
the goth detectives. one of my fav duos of all time. They are iconic.
SWIM SOMETHING, SUPPRESS THE HOMOSEXUALITY
I would move to the UK just for the comedians if I could. Definately the best in the world.

I saw Richard ayeoade in the cinema a couple of years ago, it was amazing
they're both so childish and cute i love them! they work really well together!
