Reg and Richard work well together. first time i've found Reg funny on a panel show. he seems to like Richard. runaway freight train, Richard seems to be relaxed with him as well. need them together in something.
By the way, in case anyone is wondering, Obama only visited 48 of 50 states because it's rare a candidate ever go to Alaska or Hawaii. So he said 57 instead of 47. It's a much more believable slip-up than it sounded here.
I have to “time” my sip of coffee or else spit on my newspaper [yes, Sunday is still delivered in “Las Vegas” USA 🇺🇸].

I don't get the Mickey hate. He plays perfectly off of Ayoade, and he actually knows how to reply to David without sounding like a butthurt resentful idiot (*cough*LeeMack*cough*). I also appreciate how uproariously he laughs at jokes he finds funny - most comedians are too far up their own arses to even chuckle. His awful impressions are meant to be shit and that's why they're amusing.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your infinite wisdom and insight. You are clearly and inarguably superior when it comes to Matters of Comedy. Kindly disregard my 3 yr old comment in all its offensiveness.
I love reading comments like yours here at youtube. You bring comedy, intellect, perfect grammar and expression into an ocean of misspelling, appalling sentence structures and every other type of grammatical abominations known to man. Here, here.
Haha yeah I'm going to wait. I'm American and I am not the most proactive when it comes to being in the know of british panel shows. I just realized that this one existed two days ago! Love it though. Great trio!
WolfieRich If only that were true, it would make so much more sense. It's just this quirky event where two people just bear a close resemblance to each other by chance.
@@gravnine It wasn't a joke, it was just a fact and he made a face because of how ridiculous that figure is. Maybe he expected some other reaction though.
***** Well obviously that happens but with Jo Brand it felt like she would often only resort to that, notably on QI, and that does get tiring. Of course women should be allowed to make those kind of jokes and I'm glad that they are but it does get old at some point.
do you reckon Richard knows more than he lets on? like along with being very funny in really obscure and introverted way...he must be like super intelligent and know a ridiculous amount of trivia. So people don't lose horribly he must have to hold back...
The three books he has written and two films he has directed back that idea up, he is an intellectual who doesn't annoy sue to being so funny and self-depresiating.
Mickey is a lot like Phill Jupitus; I wouldn't enjoy them as a solo performer, but they're funny with the right people around them. And they each have one gimmick that isn't funny no matter the situation, Mickey's impressions and Phill's shouting.
But Phil has never once made me laugh or even smile. Mickey can be funny despite the impressions, he has the comedy gene. Phil just bought his gene on ebay and thinks wearing it as a necklace makes it work the same, you can see how utterly convinced he is of that on any of the 100's of panel shows he's on.
JennyCThree There is always 'special handling' for 'special people'. And the point of a passport is to verify 'who you are' and 'if you are allowed to enter the country'. Neither of these questions was impossible to answer without her having a passport.
If it was Britney then the remark about her not having a passport before 2007 must be wrong. She toured outside the US before that surely. According to Wikipedia her first worldwide tour was 2000-2001 the “oops i did it again” tour. Even as a pop star it’s not possible to travel worldwide without a passport
It was in fact Jessica Simpson that said that to her husband when they had their own reality show. Incidentally saw that last week on RUclips - dumbest things said by celebrities 🤷🏼♀️
So somehow in binge-watching several episodes of this show I've found myself attracted to David Mitchell and I just don't know how I got to this point...
+newleezerbrand Actually, they screwed in giving the clue because the fact that "she didn't have a passport until 2007" is most certainly about Sarah Palin because I remember it came up during the 2008 campaign that she had just gotten a passport. Google backs me up on this.
8 out of 10 cats have so many panel game shows, cause they all seem to feature either David Mitchell or Jimmy Carr at some point in time and others are very frequent guests
'a grotty house' to osbourne is probably one of the nicer houses in town. ofc one owned by a relative & inhabited rent free... but that'd fetch more in rent per month than most folk make in two months.
Regarding beach nudism: I did it once in Tenerife aged 33 - but only because my girlfriend, then, was a Lithuanian Olympic athlete, both of us six feet plus tall. I was in good shape back then, so the two of us strolling along the beach starkers got a lot of attention - more than I had anticipated. I never did it again.

Imagine witnessing MLK’s iconic “I have a dream” speech so early on in your journalistic career… not knowing that you will be witnessing 💩 thrown by international politicians for the rest of your life !!
The US has big cities, small towns, temperate countryside, rolling plains, mountains, sunny beaches etc etc why the fuck would you need a passport to travel when there is so much there.?
That's true, it's massive and there's a huge range of terrain. Additionally, it's probably fairly recent that transatlantic flights are all that affordable. It makes sense for maybe 50% not to bother with passports. It's only 2 or 3hr flights to Spain from UK and its been affordable since the 60s
I just love how Richard react to knowing the next quote is from Charles Darwin. He acts so confident afterwards!

Richard Ayoade is completely hilarious
I second this sentiment; or rather 75th it, given the number of up votes.
He's the main reason I'm watching this show. Anything like this that he does: I'm on it.
A prize bellend
When John Sargent mentioned that Thatcher was "playful" and Richard Ayoade quips, "Like ... wrestling" my sip of tea shot out through my nose. Those two words show his incredible wit and gift at being deadpan. I haven't that hard in a long time.
Luke Fallon how hard did you get?
How on earth did this get cancelled! It's funny as hell.
RUclipsrs should petition to bring the show back
WISIS. That's why.
2 words....Mickey....Flanagan....he has all the wit of Alan Davies without the charm
@@bradmodd7856 I don't know if that's true, but to put in my own two cents:
I can't understand Mickey very well. If I put in the effort to understand him, I rarely find that it was worth it.
I also am not a fan of his voice in general, but that's a smaller issue... I think.
I will add, though, that Richard Ayoade and David Mitchell can make up for a _lot_ of deficiencies.
They cornered themselves by only having 2 guest slots and the game is structured so that the points don’t matter
"I Should Have Gone To Spain" would be a great title for Mickey Flanagan's autobiography.
26:33 Richard Ayoade inhales approvingly to David Mitchell mentioning a piece of cinema trivia
Sally Phillips is stunning and radiant and so charming. Loved her on taskmaster
I still have a crush on her. I may always have a crush on her. She could read a shopping list, and I would be putty in her hands.
Monster crush 😊

You can hear the airquotes when David says "tweet".
Richard comes off as very well read. I've binged a few of these and he knows a lot of the difficult questions.

I had no idea she was in her 40's. She looks and acts a lot younger.

How the heck did Britney not have a passport? She toured internationally >_
I was thinking the same thing.
JennyCThree private flights, special letters of 'invitation' etc
Zarkow
Do people on private flights not still need to use an airport and pass some sort of security?
JennyCThree
There is always 'special handling' for 'special people'. And the point of a passport is to verify 'who you are' and 'if you are allowed to enter the country'. Neither of these questions was impossible to answer without her having a passport.
Yeah she should need an entertainment visa to enter the country to work. Which goes in your passport.
The Spam was the part of the meal that Graham Chapman's character did not want - that's the point: "Have you got anything without spam?"

not gonna lie, Ayoade and Hunter is a combination that i didn't realise could work until now
Anyone else think of that meme where it goes “those are his hooves” or is that just me lol
love Micky he's so funny thank fs
Is it just me or does John Sargent sound just a little bit like Dumbledoor. His tone and pace just reminds me of the cabin scene in Chamber.
After fist-pumping as the Darwin question came up I expected so much more from Richard.
