American, here. I can’t get enough of these comedian and writer-packed British game shows. I’ve never had a taste for the sterile, flashy, witless, prize-driven competitions so rampant in American television. I’d rather laugh than get tense.
It's not a real game show. 😉It's a comedy panel show where the parlour game is just a premise for comedy. The UK has typical actual gameshows like Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, The Weakest Link and The Chase just like the US.
I see all the Nish Kumar haters, desperately engaging with the comments, and therefore increasing the popularity of the clips and encouraging him to be hired for more stuff! Keep it up guys, I like him!
Never heard of Nish before however he was dull as white bread roll here. All the rest were hilarious including the woman in the middle who I do not know either.
@@sasalele87 Not really, I was here for Richard and Katherine, and the plump blonde lady was pretty funny, kinda a nice bonus really. Nish was also there.
I hate when people say "fun fact", but in this case, really, fun fact: Nicolas Cage has a lifelong obsession with Elvis, did an Elvis impression on SNL, and was even briefly married to Lisa Marie Presley, his daughter.
@@Alonepistachio I've seen her in a few shows. She was Doc Martin's receptionist for a couple seasons. And I saw another series on Netflix that she was in of which I can't remember the name at all, but it was pretty funny. It was about some kind of family that were free-spirited or something like that. But yeah, you're right that she hasn't done near as close to anything post IT CROWD as Richard or even Noel for that matter. I still think she's wonderful though.😍
@@nayrecitsuj7426 fair enough, I havent seen those shows but I do love British panel shows and I feel like I havent seen her on much of that but I guess it make sense since she is more on the actor side of things then comedian like richard and Noel.
Plenty of people hating on Katherine. Her hand by her head like that probably meant she was getting notes from a producer in an earpiece. Maybe Richard accidentally said a "taboo-word" or something on one of those cards.
Maybe it was "You are persistantly in my thoughts" being too close to "always on my mind", when he said that I noticed he said a word that was in the title but I didn't notice if any of the others did something similar
@@lovepeace5845 Well in the USA that's how they say it, so you can either learn to live with that fact, or get in a tizzy every time you see an American person saying 'math'. Your life will have a lot less stress, but you do you.
Ok, as someone from the U.S. and not the UK, can I ask a question? Does every comedian have a gameshow and all the other comedians go on each other's shows? Seems like the same small group is in every game show.
Pretty much. Sometimes the host isn't a comedian. But yes, there are a small group of the most popular comedians who make a portion of their living by going on lots of game/variety shows. They usually start off by being a guest, then as they gain success they might become a permanent player/guest, then may eventually host their own show if they fancy it.
A lot of these people are also actors who are in mainstream TV shows in the UK. I've thought about this and its really weird how we do television shows here 😂
Forgot the name but there's a comedy management/production company that is involved in the vast majority of these shows that all the comics are signed up to...its basically a cartel, if ur a comedian and not part of their stable you simply won't appear on British TV...don't get me wrong I like many of the shows but it's a lefty/woke/mor organisation that many non lefty/woke/mor comics have called out as a closed shop that stifles innovation and creativity, and literally makes the same show in a slightly different guise over and over...sour grapes?? Maybe...but it would be nice to see something different every now and then
Yes, and they are all held in our private castles, which are given to you by the NHS when you are born, along with a lifetimes supply of tea and toast.
Vibrating somethings aren't new to IT Crowd, remember how Moss changed the vibrating settings on Roy's phone & they set it to 10 (max) while & they attended their dead boss' funeral? Wonder what the rate was on the Pleasure Throne? 😂
Acceptable Alternate Titles: 1. Richard Ayoade Left 'all shook up' by The IT Crowd's Katherine Parkinson When She Screws Him Out Of A Point 2. Richard Ayoade Left 'all shook up' by The IT Crowd's Katherine Parkinson's Inability To Count To Four 3. Helen Bauer's Wet and Wild Ride.
Well there you go boys and girls. One could include this in a first year university lecture on human reproduction and the intrinsic differences in male/female sexual pleasure centres. 😉. A simple lab experiment right there.
Boy, I hate to be mean. But your comment was perfect. I've gotten to the point where if I just see his face I feel a little sick. Then he manages to always prove me justified by opening his mouth. "I'm one of Britain's leading satirical comedians" or whatever he said.🤦♂️😞🤮
You'd be surprised. Every round is different, and it depends heavily on the comedian who puts it together. Nish had a round where they had to order from take-away menus and hit a target price without going over. It can be mediocre and incredible, and whichever it is, it will be different in ten minutes. If you love Richard Ayoade, this is the perfect vehicle for him. "I'm Richard Ayoade, but that's my problem not yours."
He is guaranteed to always be the least funny person in any building he ever sets foot in. The only use he will ever be in comedy is if his corpse gets burned as fuel to heat a comedy club.
Imagine being Nish and getting paid handsomely for effortless, hysterical ad-libs, while bigots online pour hours into failed attempts at wittiness, never to see a penny for any of it.
'it didn't occur to me that this would be sexual' YOU CALLED IT THE PLEASURE THRONE
having just watched her on Taskmaster, this does not surprise me at all.
The elvis impersonator did an amazing job with those songs.
Really kept his cool. Guess those songs are always on his mind, hence why he wasn't all shook up.
@@UAndDave Bravo Sir or Madame. Brav-freakin'-o.👍😆
He needs extra respect for getting Helens clues which were just grunts and gibberish!
@@UAndDave Behave
'i'm gonna slide off in a river of my own making' is the best line of the program
100% one of the most iconic moments of this series
A river of my own making - it sounds almost Shakespearean.
I love that we are seeing more of Katherine Parkinson on these types of shows now. I love her personality
there is something about her to be sure.
"Katherine, I trusted you to keep this clean!" had me rolling.🤣
Dirtiest line in the entire clip
Helen is so funny omg. "RICHARD LOOK AT ME!!"
I almost spit my drinking when she said that
As funny as a fire in an orphanage....why can't they keep these unfunny morons off these programs....outclassed by Richard and Katherine....
disgusting, that's sexual assault, she should be in jail
"I'm going to slip off this in a river of my own making" had me cackling.

You should look up nevermind the buzzcocks, the old series NOT the new one, it's top teir British game show comedy
Its cringe and terrible when you catch on, and all woke
American as well. I love how the Brits just let it fly!!
Definitely gonna use “do you feel isolated at mid-day?” as a pickup line
Well done to that impersonator for staying as cool as the king himself.
"A river of my own making." Lol
I see all the Nish Kumar haters, desperately engaging with the comments, and therefore increasing the popularity of the clips and encouraging him to be hired for more stuff!
Keep it up guys, I like him!
I mean, nobody hires by amassing RUclips comments you wally
Never heard of Nish before however he was dull as white bread roll here. All the rest were hilarious including the woman in the middle who I do not know either.
First 2 comments hammering home your point really 😆
@@sasalele87 Not really, I was here for Richard and Katherine, and the plump blonde lady was pretty funny, kinda a nice bonus really. Nish was also there.
@@sasalele87 Literally my comment was the opposite of "hammering home his point" but you keep spouting bollox.
For a second I thought the impersonator was Jonathan Ross
Me too i thought i was the only one
The Elvis impersonator would make a great Nicolas Cage impersonator
I hate when people say "fun fact", but in this case, really, fun fact: Nicolas Cage has a lifelong obsession with Elvis, did an Elvis impression on SNL, and was even briefly married to Lisa Marie Presley, his daughter.
He doesn't look like he could do a very good cat impression, though.
And now I am imagining Elvis shouting "Not the bees" in a deep melodic voice.
“The IT Crowd’s Katherine Parkinson,” as if he isn’t The IT Crowd’s Richard Ayoade 😂
I feel like richard is known for a lot more things now, I don’t know anything else Katherine has done expect from taskmaster
@@Alonepistachio I've seen her in a few shows. She was Doc Martin's receptionist for a couple seasons.

Katherine was a major character in Humans as well. She was in Taskmaster too :)
she’s also been in here we go :)
I like how Richard is just this cool collected guy in real life while Katherine is just Jen.
"I'm going to slip off this in a river of my own making..." made me howl 🤣
"I'm going to slip off this on a river of my own making" 😄 That was funny.
Plenty of people hating on Katherine. Her hand by her head like that probably meant she was getting notes from a producer in an earpiece. Maybe Richard accidentally said a "taboo-word" or something on one of those cards.

that elvis impersonator was awesome!
Katherine really hasn't improved on her math skills since The IT Crowd....
Maths*
@@JackT13 In the USA they say math, in the UK we say maths. Hope that helps.
@@bravo2966 And both are recognised as legitimate in the UK, but the singular is unusual. Of course it is a good way to flush out pedants.
@@bravo2966 it doesn’t help, the word is mathematics/maths. Yanks say all sorts of nonsense, but that doesn’t make it right.

wow Richard was so chill on that throne
Nothing can un-chill that guy
@@UAndDave Except Rob Beckett stealing his sweets.
I'm more annoyed that they didn't give Ayoade 4 points.
*Question Team* (Series 2, Episode 3; September 19, 2022)
Host: Richard Ayoade
Guests: Nish Kumar [takeaway food], Helen Bauer [her Drama club], Katherine Parkinson [favorite Elvis songs]
Katherine: "Richard, you scored three"
Me: "No, he scored FOUR!"
he scored three, and then he scored 1 more, so she was technically right
"I'm going to slip off of this in a river of my own making" was far more descriptive than I needed. That's going to haunt me for a bit.

Pretty sure it's a Channel 4 thing
When you hear the throne, it sounds like those step SFX they added to the musical score for Reverse Flash on The Flash 😂😂😂
Wow. That was hilarious. That had something for everyone.
Especially for Helen.
I knew that vibrating platform from 8oo10cdc would come in handy.
Thank you for the captions! 🖤

"I am going to slip off this in a river of my own making..."
"It didn't occur to me that it would be sexual"
What do you mean it didn't occur? You named it the pleasure throne!
A perfectly innocent name. completely wholesome. We see nothing about it that could be misconstrued 👀 👀
Helen = goals.
You'd never guess this show was on DAVE
Actually, as an American who gets all his UK content from RUclips, I've noticed that Dave has really stepped up its game in recent years.
Acceptable Alternate Titles:
1. Richard Ayoade Left 'all shook up' by The IT Crowd's Katherine Parkinson When She Screws Him Out Of A Point
2. Richard Ayoade Left 'all shook up' by The IT Crowd's Katherine Parkinson's Inability To Count To Four
3. Helen Bauer's Wet and Wild Ride.
Handing in our resignation letter now
Forgot to randomly capitalise a WORD in the title!
Loved the intro!
Richard scored 4 not 3
Richard didn't sound any different on the pleasure throne. Lol
6:35 "Well done you scored 3" Three???? 😮
How did none of them either do a Cher impersonation, or make a joke about Elvis dying in the throne?
Richard scored 4 not 3. How did he only score 3?
She was told in her ear piece one was wrong you can see her hand on her ear.
I know when women are faking it and Helen is not faking it.
A moment of silence for you
😅😅😅
Most English Elvis impersonator I’ve ever seen because not only does he not look or sound like Elvis but they think he does because England
Literally like I could put on a dress and just pretend to be the queen of England apparently because that’s what you guys determine as an impersonator
Why aren't they making more of "IT Crowd" They do realise there is a huge profit in "The Shoes za"
The pleasure throne is actually the internet
He looks as much like Elvis as the actor who,played him in the current Elvis movie.
Helen Bauer is terrifying and adorable at the same time. Lovely combination. I think I'd marry her.
Wait, Katherine Parkinson has a panel show?
Unless you're talking about a different show, then no. It's dave's Richard Ayoade vehicle.
How did he get 3 points? He got four right, didn't he?
How did nish miss
I’m all shook up
waheyyyy
Elvis put his fingers to his lips and then just whistled normally.
Why?
I read this as he did that. Trippy
What… in the hell….
Edit: wait, what the, in fact, fuck - three? Jen needs more training with comp uters it would seem.
Richard got 4, not 3.
🤣❤🤣
i love u katherine parkinson
Well there you go boys and girls. One could include this in a first year university lecture on human reproduction and the intrinsic differences in male/female sexual pleasure centres. 😉. A simple lab experiment right there.
Hasn’t Nish been sacked yet? 😩😩😩

You never mentioned Nish kumar was in this video. Please edit to provide a warning to unsuspecting viewers.

@@GoodKingMort Richard who?

"I'm Richard Ayoade, but that's my problem not yours."
Nish has never said anything funny in his life. He's just a box ticked.
katherine has gotten worse since the IT crowd , boy she can't even count now !!
nish isnt funny not surprising most people skipped pass him
i forgot just how funny Liz Truss was in IT Crowd... crazy to think how she became PM but then again, sounds about right.
I'm so confused by this, can you ruin the joke by explaining it to me please?
Nish Kumar bout as funny as a broken leg
This is horrible.
Nish well within his contract of being the least funny person on a show.
He is guaranteed to always be the least funny person in any building he ever sets foot in.
The only use he will ever be in comedy is if his corpse gets burned as fuel to heat a comedy club.
Imagine being Nish and knowing the only reason you have any sort of platform is because you are Asian. It certainly is not based on talent or humour!
Imagine being Nish and getting paid handsomely for effortless, hysterical ad-libs, while bigots online pour hours into failed attempts at wittiness, never to see a penny for any of it.
Turned off as soon as I saw that unfunny man Nash kumar
Well that's your loss then because this was quite a humorous clip
Ah yes famous comedian, Nash Kumar
It's okay, I'm sure the Daily Mail will be able to suggest someone more to your liking 🤣
