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.
@@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.
dejavuman22 Yeah but if it was we could watch it in Canada too. If I could I would only get UK TV and be happy but we have to scavenge the internet to watch these great shows
@@hansgerber8654 hilariously, I don't even remember my original comment or watching this show. I'll have to watch again to see if my old opinion still stands. Lol
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
***** 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.
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 CZcams - dumbest things said by celebrities 🤷🏼♀️
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.
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...
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.
+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.
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 !!
Yet Britney Spears have been to Japan a number of times. I think the 1st time as early as 2000 when she made some TV appearances. (one that I remember is an awkward stuff on NHK TV where she had to watch a karate demonstration.) Plus she toured there in 2002.
It is so amazing to me how much of a pedestal they put Obama on that they thought he could only say the first quote as a joke rather than the gaffe it was.
Objectively, it was a trick question as compared to Spears and Palin Obama is a Mensa level genius. And you must know for a fact he knows how many states there are. So why would anyone who is even somewhat sentient think it was anything other than a mistake?
Reg Hunter points out that it's so obvious, so well known, so drummed into school children that it's almost bound to be a joke, especially how it's worded no matter who said it

I just love how Richard react to knowing the next quote is from Charles Darwin. He acts so confident afterwards!
"I Should Have Gone To Spain" would be a great title for Mickey Flanagan's autobiography.

Luke Fallon how hard did you get?
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
You can hear the airquotes when David says "tweet".
26:33 Richard Ayoade inhales approvingly to David Mitchell mentioning a piece of cinema trivia
“Crossed eyed with a gun, that’s marrying material” brilliant!
"You mustn't be shee shee poo poo, I won't allow it"
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 😊
Richard comes off as very well read. I've binged a few of these and he knows a lot of the difficult questions.
micky is always hilarious
How on earth did this get cancelled! It's funny as hell.

They cornered themselves by only having 2 guest slots and the game is structured so that the points don’t matter

First time for me too. Also last time, unfortunately.
he participated to WILTY as well! Check him out, it's super hilarious!
That's coz they enjoyed the same honey pot.....
Reg Hunter was funny on WILTY claiming that his middle name is Delicious
Love this show! Being in the US, I hadn't heard of "Was it Somthing I Said," but it's great. Thanks for posting!
Mickey Flanagan...A special face.
He looks like a character from "Alice ".
Someone you might find attending the Mad Tea Party.
A gorgeous face and love his honest sense of humour.
Reginald working out the Dolly Parton joke 😂
"There's a tremendous production of the Mikado in there!"
Smartest line of the show. It deserved more acknowledgement.

Sally is so gorgeous even at 43. What a lovely woman!
I totally agree, however.....she wasn't particularly funny on this.
She looks familiar. Was she on season one of "I'm Alan Partridge"?

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

I can't believe John Sergeant isn't related to Jo Brand... They are so similar O_o
I thought they were brother and sister too. Shocker.

Admittedly, if he were actually related to Jo Brand, he'd have made a whole lot of unfunny jokes about the uselessness of men.

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.
I have NEVER seen Reggie smile I had no idea he was a comedian
He not one is he ?
How the heck did Britney not have a passport? She toured internationally >_
I was thinking the same thing.

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.
