    The irritating part about that eraser rant is that Greg gave the least points to Tim Key for his 'disappearing lake ice' and still let Paul and Iain get away with the 'flushed eraser', when all 3 followed the same logic. Shows how soft he's become, I feel for Joe in that moment!

    • @lisahenry20
      @lisahenry20 2 года назад

      The ice being thrown into the river didn't count because ice floats and Alex could still see the ice. It hadn't disappeared yet (until it had floated out of Alex's view). Flushing the eraser counts because of you erase something, it means you can't see it. If you erase a pencil mark, you can't see the pencil mark. Unless you have x-ray vision or go searching in the pipes for the eraser, flushing the eraser means you can't see it. On the show they also mention erasing meaning it no longer functions as an eraser. If you've ever got an eraser wet, you'd know that even if you dried it out, it no longer functions as an eraser.
