I said the same thing about Mel and Noel Fielding on Taskmaster. Both absolute chaos gremlins but one is like mainlining red bull and the other is an actual sloth that’s just woken up.
There is a palpable dynamic with Mel and Richard and Mel and Noel Fielding. Richard's character is usually dry but when people like Mel and Noel are around he is warm and receptive.
I love that Mel & Sue are still around. I remember when they first appeared. They were in their 20s and so was I. Now we're all in our 50s and I still love them.
“I don’t want you to feel like I want to leave” is classic mom logic. Every time I go to my parents house (which is always freezing BTW) my mom gets mad at me for wearing a jacket inside because I “look like I’m ready to walk out the door”
@@pseudonayme7717 No no no, the 90s were before most people who get the pop culture references were aware of the world, or even born.

That salt and vinegar joke needed a little bit of a precursor. In the full episode if I recall correctly, Jimmy jokes in the welcome message after the break that the colors for the crisps were changed. Mel then re-visits Jimmy's joke quite a while later by asking if salt and vinegar is blue, but in this edit it is just confusing and seemingly random. The full episode is available on this The Big Fat Quiz Channel, and I highly recommend it, regardless if you want to get the full context of the crisps joke.
@@mewmew32 No, there is a crisp/chips company that recently changed the colors of the bags of crisps/chips. There is no commercial involved, I don't think the company announced that they had changed the packaging colors. That is part of the problem, they just randomly changed it without informing people upfront and that is what Jimmy's joke/complaint was about. People, myself included, have been conditioned to recognize that certain colors are used for a certain type of crisp/chip. Example: the yellow/red packaging was often used for plain, salty chips (no salt+vinigar, just regular salty chips). You could go to a completely different country in a different continent and you didn't even need to read the text on the packaging in a foreign language or alphabet to know what you could expect. That is no longer the case now.
Jimmy is genuinely at a loss for words with Richard's Statham voice. I don't think I've ever seen him that stumped. ...I also never expected to hear that voice coming out of Richard! 😂🤣😂
Richard really should of got his own TV or film franchise by now. The genius but odd detective kind of thing. Dr Who obviously. An alien science officer on Star Trek. A serial killer but most of all in The Further Adventures of Maurice Moss but i think they might of done that but just called it The Travel Show.
@@Storm-dm4bxNo it is one eighty two, listen to the band say it or any American, this is like when we get annoyed at Americans saying David Atten-burrow, they’re just wrong and most Brits are just wrong about Blink haha
After many of Richards previous appearances being a bit snarky and standoffish (in the sense that you do what you like, ill do what I like, we can exist as we must, but we will do so peacefully or it will become everyone's problem (as part of his schtick of course. but still hes an intelligent comedian, and kind of paints himself into a corner with the whole antisocial thing sometimes), seeing Mel's Auntie that just wants to be buddies with her sisters kids (who cares if they may be adopted) vibes be so perfectly out of phase that instead of canceling and getting a painfully awkward pairing their mutual off kilter vibes invert each other and constructively mix into an adorable team!
I truly appreciate your epic (yet unsuccessful) attempt to forego a legendary run-on sentence with a period (but it still read as a comma) and a few haphazard parenthesis. Good fun. 😊
It took me ages to realise that Richard sounds like Arthur Shelby when he does that voice, I knew it sounded like someone, just couldn't think of who 😂
There is a clip where David Tennant is singing West End Girls and Katherine is miming the trumpet part where she has big Janice and The Electric Mayhem energy.
Yeah....but most people who get modern pop culture references think Blink 182 is a classic rock band the way 90s kids made our older siblings cringe when we made a stink about 'discovering this cool old band.....lead zeplane.....or something like that.....' Ive legitimately had to stop myself from backhanding some little shitling who was getting all high and mighty because they happened across this neat old band no one really knows about and probably wouldnt be into, its too bad they're not touring anymore after the lead singer shot himself..... The times they are a changin.....all we are is farts in the wind.....pungent in the moment then fading to a distant memory.....
Mel and Richard have the same and opposite energy at the same time. I can’t describe it.
I said the same thing about Mel and Noel Fielding on Taskmaster. Both absolute chaos gremlins but one is like mainlining red bull and the other is an actual sloth that’s just woken up.

It’s a wonderfully sensitive film

Mel is just such a cute person. It cracks me up when she says "Gang!". Richard's 'real' voice is hilarious
Mel and Ayoade is the most delightful combination ever
Gives me Snoop , Martha Stewart vibes
With much more intelligence and not criminals@@denislemieux4915
Have you seen her paired up with Romesh Ranganathan on BFQ 2016?

Richard's Statham impression is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

8:50 mel's charm is so strong it managed to break richard, so cute
Mel has strong good mom vibes❤
and Richard is the introvert son that she drags to functions, but he's the one babysitting her
I find it weird that they 'imagined' what Mel looked like in the 90's, cos she was on telly in the 90's, so we have actual pics of that lol 😄

You're absolutely right. I loved her on Travel Man with Richard🥰
Be quiet ffs. 🙄@mandi8345
One thing about Richard, he's gonna find ways to bring up White Chicks
Pretty sure Mel Giedroyc is one of the best people ever to quaff some espresso martinis with and have a laugh
They’re all stars but how can you not love Richard!!!
Jimmy only drinks wd40 😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀

9:12 Richard hides his face laughing at the reveal of his and Mel’s answer
He was doing that at the start too, if you notice. The eyes were laughing
4:37 brilliant
So good
0:01 "Did you see that ludicrous display last night"😄😄
The thing about Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.
Richard with the White Chicks callback is simply legendary...
Thanks Mel, I thought I was the only person that still calls 'Snickers'. 'Marathon'. Mel, is so wonderfully beguilingly charming!
It will always be 'Marathon'. The other name sounds too much like trainers.
@@stonkr Yes, That's it! Thank you!
I never liked them so it's not an issue for me. However, I do still insist on eating Opal Fruits.

National treasures, the both of them.

Why? How is their name said?
I can't get over the fact they're still going.
@@miaschu8175 "blink one eighty-two" not "one eight two"

One Eighty Two is correct, though I've never said numbers like that, maybe it's an American thing
Thank you.
Mel as the Doctor would be brilliant.
I need more Richard doing Statham.
I get the feeling Richards wife requests that voice from time to time.
🤭🤭
Is it just me, or does she look vaguely like Noel Fielding?
I adore Mel- 'Mel and Sue' was brilliant and I had a crush on them both. It's the personality.
Same 🥰
very high quality content :)
This is hilarious 😂😂

Ayoade is one of the best surrealists ever
Mel looking a bit like Sarah Michelle Gellar in that left picture
Thank you! I immediately said she looked like "Buffy" and got stared at as though I'd lost my mind.
I thought the same!

Salt and vinegar chips (packet/crisps) are pink in Australia! 😁
Imagine TBFQOTY or 8OO10CDC without Richard Ayoade. Seriously. Imagine the jokes without his input. He IS the show.
I'm having a hard time imagining that since I've no idea what either of those things are. He was great in Garth Marenghi's though.

Mr. Ayoade may wish to have a word of apology with Mr. Soyinka.
Yes, it threw me too when he said Achebe won the Nobel Prize. I had to Google it to be sure!
AI 90s Mel is bloody gorgeous!❤
I kept wondering why Katherine Ryan looked so familiar and then I realized she looked like Janice from the Muppet Show.
There is a clip where David Tennant is singing West End Girls and Katherine is miming the trumpet part where she has big Janice and The Electric Mayhem energy.
I’m glad jimmy has such a a distinctive laugh. All of that plastic surgery has blunted his ability to display normal human emotion.
Travis should have put up a sign saying with who
love Hench Ayoade
@ 2:33 Jimmy's "Shhh" actually silences the audience 😋
Love it
I love Mel she's so great
i would ask why we havent seen Noel and Russel teamed in a while but then i remember Russel kinda went crazy and stop wondering.
Don't forget the sexual assaults.
@@yebutmynameiskyle i think he's hoping we do...
I know Mel is probably only like 10 years older than me, but she always reminds me of a fun granny.

Does Richard use that voice in other places 👀 👀👀😂
But how do stones get in your shoes??
Wow Michael Richards has changed a lot since Seinfeld
Wait...do I only understand Kourtney Kardashian's All The Small Things reference because I'm OLD?
I wondered why I hadn't seen this episode yet and then I saw Rosie Jones and remembered.
Are they related?
Did Jimmy say "Blink One Eight Two"? And no one called him out? haha
Apparently that’s how the Brits say it. I had no idea.
Mel as Dr. Who wouldn't suck
he should voice batman. and play batman
I still feel like Things Fall Apart could have had a happy ending, because it's hard for me to accept that sometimes people are awful on purpose
Aw, man. They dont realize that the "Travis, I'm pregnant" thing is an old bit that blink 182 and fans have done for decades.
