I've seen every Pierce Brosnan Bond film ok guys idk how i missed it
😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair, apart from GoldenEye, they're not the best ones.
You don't need to look up when things were made Connor, it was already right in front of you! It's always at the end of the credits at the bottom next to the studio in roman numerals BBC MMVI (2006)
^ joy of copyright stamps, also worried on history why not use a different browser so your normal history won't ever show
Go back and watch Dr No. Best Bond ever.
I think we found the one man left on earth who's never seen a Bond movie
Never seen one either, but I definitely got the reference.
Can’t believe someone couldn’t pick that up…James who likes martini’s, dresses in a tux and carries a gun - with a Secretary called moneypenny…I mean come on!
can't imagine him sitting still for 90 minutes and not getting distracted
I have not seen any lol
I played Spy Fox, that's how I got it
Number Wang is the perfect piss take of the many game shows that are completely unfathomable
But it's the same joke several times.
@@davidz3879 That's number wang. 😁
It's a version of Mornington Crescent . Where there are no rules to the game but the sketch or panel show plays out as if there are rules leaving people not in on the joke wondering what's going on. Talksport do a similar game called Ian Culverhouse, where they randomly name Journey men Soccer players but pretend there are connections between each player when there isn't. Each one ends with someone declaring Morning crescent/numberwang/Ian Culverhouse.
@@davidz3879 That's number wang! 😁
@@davidz3879
Clearly you don't understand numberwang.
Dandelion? In the UK, the buttercup is the flower to stick under your chin to see if you like butter
Well, Andrew, you're right, it is normally a buttercup, but from time to time as a kid I did use dandelions too. It all started with the great buttercup shortage of '73...
@Stewart Mackay picture it...
@@AndrewHalliwell I remember it well.
The snooker one where he said "8" only really makes sense if you understand snooker. There were shots laid out in the positions (and colours) of the balls... so he was calling the score.
The "strange coin" is a 20p piece... worth give or take 25 cents depending on what our wretched prime minister and chancellor of the exchequer have said in the past 2 days.
Last I saw more like 22¢
It was a 50 pence coin, which, at time of writing is worth about 61 cents.
@@h-Qalziel oopps sorry...
You literally paused it at the end with the date on screen while you looked up the date🤣🤣🤣
The flower is a buttercup, not a dandelion. Dandelions check for margarine affinity 😜
There's something wrong with margarine these days.
if you pick dandelions you wet the bed lol
@@Andyssea and that's scientific fact.
@@paulmurgatroyd6372 Don't spread it around!
@@ajivins1 That's the problem, it doesn't spread properly!
The scene in the hospital was written by those two guys who couldn't be bothered to do any medical terminology research.
The surprising adventures of sir digby chicken Caesar is still one of the funniest things. I always laugh out loud 😂
Robert Webb is a great dancer. You should check out the clip of him performing flash dance on “let’s dance for comic relief” It was truly brilliant
Note "Julia" from Somerset/Fiona Ashcroft is Oscar winning Olivia Coleman ( The Favourite) , Hot Fuzz and The Night Manager.
@22:07 You've never watched a James Bond movie? He's a suave British super-agent who bangs a bunch of broads and drinks Martini's. Moneypenny is a female character in the agency.
Sir Digby Chicken Ceasar is a reference to Dick Barton Special Agent from the 1970's.
27:50 - "Gymkhana Girl": a Gymkhana is an equestrian event with riders on horses jumping over various fences.
Mitchell & Webb's sitcom Peep Show is great.
Mitchell & Webb are a brilliant comedy duo.
The BBC MMVI at the bottom of the end screen indicates it was made for the BBC in 2006 I believe.
Lamberts are cigarettes, Moneypenny is James Bond and, as with most sketch shows, the characters just get funnier and funnier as you go on. P.s. no one understands Numberwang 😂
'P.s. no one understands Numberwang' but thats the point, you need to say that too.
What an unexpected but delightful surprise
Love Connor for not getting offended! Saw these clips posted to Reddit not so long ago, the Americans were furious! lol
Olivia Coalman has done "quite" well since working with these two!😁
If you want to know the year of any UK TV series it's written in Roman numerals at the very end of the credits. MMVI in this case was showing just before you searched.
Why do the BBC pander to all the Roman soldiers still living in Britain like this. Those guys don't even have to pay the licence fee, and don't get me started on how they get to jump the queue for affordable housing.
@@johnbircham4984 One place in Somerset there's so bloody many of them that they call it Roman Bath.
Yeah, but that’s hardly helpful, is it? They don’t even clarify whether that’s AD or BC (CE or BCE if you prefer).
In Peep Show, Robert Webb's character Jez blacks up in part of s2 e1, Dance Class.
Moneypenny was a co-worker of James Bond, the shot glasses full of bloody Mary (not ketchup) represented the balls on a snooker table. Also most TV shows in the UK have the year a program was made at the end of the credits in Roman numerals, in this case MMVI (2006). I was never a fan of Mitchell and Webb but really liked the tramp characters (hobos).
Not just year but the copyright year
The Generation Game was a TV Game show with members of the public competing in tasks like acting, cake dressing and making a pot on a potter's wheel. It ran, off and on from the 1970's till 2000 odd. The tasks would use two members of the same family but of different generations. A fifty pence piece is a Heptagon, a dead parrot is a Polly gone!
It was 20 pence
Everything is satirical and ironic. It’s British humour. Glad you enjoyed this episode and hope you see many more.
If you like Numberwang, you’ll really like Mornington Crescent.
And he would really like the lovely Samantha.
Am I the only one who prefers it when the jokes go over Connor's head? 😂😂😂
Connor: The lights are on but no one is in!
The commentators are commentating a snooker match 6:01. I'm not sure if snooker's much of a thing in the US but in the UK it is (was?) the home of the world championships, with a decent following. Always televised. 28:13 The guys were "chalking" their snooker cue/straw with chalk/lemon slice, while the drink shots were laid out like the opening arrangement of the balls in a snooker frame. Mitchell drank a bloody mary and some coke colored drink and exclaimed 8! The score for potting a red (1 point) + a black (7 points) in a break, much like an umpire would declare if Mitchell had potted the black in an actual game. There was no additional context required 28:40
Watching so much of this just flying over your head.
(c) BBC MMVI - You paused at the copyright text at the end of the credits, they always include the date created in roman numerals:
MMVI = M(1000) + M(1000) + V(5) + I(1) = 2006
Thanks for the reminder that Olivia Coleman started in comedy before playing the queen. Also, very smart comedy for something that seems so stupid! Glad to be watching this whole for the first time as well.
Well, there was also Bruiser and also That Mitchell and Webb Sound before this, then of course Peep Show!
Bruiser is a veritable gold mine of latter talent, just a pity Matt Holness seems to have not found much success, I thought Garth Marenghi's Darkplace was just as genius as The League of Gentlemen, but hey!
Olivia Coleman has got to big for her boots.
@@stephenhumphrey7935 Maybe I missed something. Briefly explain?
@@carlhartwell7978 I heard her boots got smaller due to the wrong settings in her washing machine, thus, she is to big for her boots. (yes I know it's a crap joke).
@@stephenhumphrey7935 Lol, I do hope you have an alternative day job! 🤣 But do keep trying!
BBC end credits always show the production date in roman numerals at the finish: MMVI = 2006!
Best not to overthink the individual sketches, just take each as t's own thing and you won't go far wrong. Also, Moneypenny is the name of James Bond's secretary.
Hi Moneypenny is M's Secretary not Bonds.
That strange coin looked like a 50pence coin.
6:01 This is snooker not pool, the table is 12 feet by 6 feet and it takes WAY more talent.
Do some more longer episodes xx was good to watch with you! X
You do realise that the year was in that last frame at the bottom, no need to look it up, right? MMVI. We usually do the Roman numerals at the end of TV programmes in the UK
A Lambert refers to Lambert and Butler, a brand of cigarette.
Can't believe Americans have the buttercup thing too
Fantastic! Hope you can keep doing these.
Such a long time since I saw this.
I do remember holding a *butter flower* under someone’s cheek to detect butter addiction…
Also, if you want a totally surreal experience, listen to Mornington Crescent, a game featured in the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. The rule is that if you think you understand it, you don't! Helps if you know your London Underground Stations.
The more you worry..the more it suggests there's something worth worrying about
It was a Butter Cup, not a Dandelion. Dandelions made you wet the bed.
Glad you enjoy all this Connor , if your ever In London I will buy you a pint.
36:22 -- the year was in front of you in Roman numerals
Numberwang is a pastiche on cheap gameshows, you’re not meant to follow it. Children in Need is a charity telethon.
28:00 Gymkhana Girl
I forgot how many good skits there were in the very first episode 😂
Numberwang is a sketch that seems like a miss until you are a series or more in. It becomes a whole thing and it's just gold 😅😅
Also 'first suck on a lambert' is a reference to 'Lambert & Butler' a British brand of cigarette.
Also Moneypenny & 'James' are a reference to the James Bond movies. I thought they were universally known but they are about a British secret service agent.
3 explanations in one comment?..
That's numberwang!
@@Antechynus you owe me a picture of a chicken . . . 😅😅😅
@@anthonyholroyd5359 👍
I have never seen that particular Bond movie with a Moneypenny (Who the hell names a person like that? Some narcissist who hates their child, but dreams of getting rich and buys 10 lottery scratch tickets every day?) But I always thought it was super obvious it was about James Bond and making fun of how these people we watch in movies would be terrible nightmares to know in real life.
@@ondrejvasak1054 there are a few with moneypenny to be fair. Go back through them. She'll turn up plenty
By the way, I think the pausing may have helped with the video not being taken down... 🧡
At the end of the credits on all BBC programmes is the date of original transmission in Roman numerals, in this case XXVI = 2006, just to save you any search history embarrassment!
XXVI is 26, they had MMVI
All sketch shows are hit & miss, but this has a far higher hit rate than the large majority.
In a later episode they do that very idea as a sketch.
A lot of these are parodies of British TV shows at the time so it might not translate well. I think numberwang parodies totally nonsensical quiz shows where the rules are totally incomprehensible. The shouting panel of boffins parodies something like The Big Questions where complex situations are reduced to a few minutes of explanation while the moderator interrupts with unhelpful 'challenging' questions. The angel/bmx one I think perhaps parodies superheroes who are ridiculously overpowered.
I think BMX boy is more a parody of films etc where the normal person, like the BMX boy solve crimes or win the day unrealistically. Reminds me of Flash Gordon in the eighties film trying to beat ming the merciless using his quarter back skills. Totally absurd.
The medical drama bit is like the usual The Good Doctor or House, but the writers never bothered with doing any research or learning any jargon. So all we hear is "Here's the medicine for this sickness you've got from somewhere."
Numberwang is purposefully nonsensical.
The 'James' was James Bond.
The two commentators are snooker commentators. The drinking red and black liquids and saying "Eight" is a reference to snooker, potting a red and a black is worth 8 points.
The Generation Game was a British gameshow, and one round is the conveyer belt round, where you memorise all manner of objects that pass your vision and you have a few seconds to name as many as possible, and one of the items is almost always a cuddly toy.
The buttercup thing we did at school in the 50s
The sketch where they casually talk about what a violent, user of bad puns, overreacting asshole their friend James Bond is, Im dying 🤣🤣
Dude, when I heard you say "Red Dwarf" I got genuinely excited. That'd be a blast!
I would Highly recommend Red Dwarf!
Ohh and that's Wangernum! Unlucky Connor, I won that one.
Lambert …….Lambert and butler is a cigarette brand
"Let's rotate the board!" - probably my favorite joke in anything ever.
7:10 always nice to see an Oscar Winner from back when she was just a regular on British comedy shows.
I just noticed, Sir Digby was filmed in Richmond Green in west London, outside the Prince's Head pub and Richmond Theatre!
Oh, and in the waiter sketch he refers to The Generation Game, which was a BBC Saturday family show where an older and younger member of a family would compete against another family. A professional would show them how to do something, ranging from making sausages or a clay pot, for example, to doing a dance routine, and they would have to repeat it and get judged on their performance
Lol I recognised The Prince's Head straight away, was drinking there earlier this year :D
Petition for full episodes of Peep Show 🤞
Moneypenny was the secretary for M in the James Bond films.
You were 13 in 2006? You’re telling me you’re 30 now? I thought you were like 22.
He's said that he's in his late 20s.
It''s not Sherlock, they're just homeless drunks.
It's just a 20p piece, the 50p coins similar
Only peasants dunk their bread in their soup. (Sarcasm...but only slightly)
Moneypenny is the secretary in James Bond movies.
The two drinking commentators are commentating on the game of snooker. A red equals 1 point and the black equals 7. Hence why he says 8.
Up until the 80’s the players would drink alcohol whilst playing. A final would be viewed by over 20 million people in the uk alone.
That Russian agricultural joke was brilliant
When I see how bemusing English comedy can be to Americans I realise they live on a different planet.
I understood all of this as an Australian who grew up in New Zealand.
McJibbin''s world history knowledge is impressive though.
The show is from 2006. It said on the right hand side of your web search.
My favourite part in all of this is the bit where Sir Digby says "the forces of darkness have, Give me my can back! “
Money penny was the secretary to the boss in the James bond movies and that is who they are referring to
Buttercup to check if you like butter, dandy lion to tell the time.
Thank you.
The Angel Summoner & BMX Bandit is sort of a joke within the D&D gamer community about how after a few levels wizards just become much better than fighter characters.
Lambert & Butler, a cigarette brand.
The worst thing you can possibly say in a reaction video is, "I've seen this..."
Probably already explained this, but “James” is James Bond. Moneypenny is a woman who works at MI-6 (or is it Interpol) with Bond and seems to have a crush on him, except he never returns her affections.
Great to see you doing a reaction to a full episode Connor, hope you do more.
A great series that only got better as it went on - like the 'vectron' sketch.
Do it all man, I'll be watching.
Loads of militaries use skull insignia. They have done for centuries, at least. Even now there are plenty who still use it, including the Reconnaissance Battalions in the United States Marine Corps.
Haha never seen 007? Money penny? A guy called James who always wears a tuxedo and drinks Martinis.
Bless you for not getting the James Bond referential sketch 🤣
14:07 if I owned a restaurant I would hire one guy like that which the rest of the staff was allowed to summon on a table a night if they were being too annoying.
it tells you at the end in Roman Numerals BBC MMVI
Moneypenny is James Bond's boss from the James Bond movie franchise, also refered to in movie as 'M' or 'Code name M'. Watching Americans react to British humour is joyful but when you don't get things I just wanna yell through the screen and help you. Also re Numberwang, it's meant to make no sense at all, its part of the British sense of humour - absurdity delivered with deadpan seriousness :) ! Love your content. Keep it up American brother!
Moneypenny is neither James Bond's "boss," nor is she referred to as M. She is the secretary to whomever happens to be Bond's superior officer "M," the head of MI6, so you'll be happy to know you can finally stop "yelling through the screen" now, and maybe go back and watch the films yourself. 🤣
hope you take a look at more of them
Oh wow that's a young Olivia Colman!
28:05 gymkhana - it’s something to do with riding horses
Moneypenny is James Bond’s secretary or whatever she is lol.
Best ones to do would be Inbetweeners, Red Dwarf, IT Crowd, Peep Show
