“Stop It!” Sean Lock Has Jimmy Carr IN TEARS! 8/10 Cats Does Countdown - REACTION 

I nearly choked when I first saw the "challenging wank" comment. Sean Locke is amazing

Watching this couple makes me thankful im single.

Never imagined id spend my Monday evening watching people watch other people do maths

Sean Locke recounting his proudest moments is beyond hilarious.

On 'Countdown', you have 30 seconds to solve to puzzle, regardless of if it's the numbers round, letters round or conundrum. You may enjoy watching the real Countdown as some of the answers from contestants are impressive; '8 out of 10 Cats do Countdown 9' was originally billed as a one off/limited "mash-up" for charity but because it received great reviews and ratings, it has just continued ever since and had become a weekly regular on TV. Also, Rachel Riley is incredibly smart so you should watch a compilation of her best bits. I say best bits because she is also funny so a mix of her problem solving and humour would be great!

Can't believe it, RIP Sean

You guys should know that the amazing Sean Lock has now passed away 💔

Rachel Reilly would normal have the number exercises done in about 10 seconds. She's a genius.

RIP Sean Lock

Diago Maradona is considered one of the top football players ever. But he cheated England in the world cup.

Sean Locke is very dry witty type. You need to listen to his storys called The Tiger who went for a Pint. Nan Thats what i call music and The Spider story. The way his brain works is crazy sometimes

This is like watching a dogs face when you talk to it. The dog knows something is going on, but it's too slow to comprehend. Stop watching British comedy. It's clearly not for you.

Rest in peace saun lock

Rest in peace Sean Lock

Sean Lock on 8 out of ten cats is best comedian in the world!!

I've been to a recording of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown in Manchester. Its as you see you, little editing, the show is recorded for 1 hr and the show is 45 mins on TV

I saw Jimmy on this other game show he hosts, and the panel kept giving him a hard time about looking like a robot,and once he was referred to as a puppet,leading up to Noal(a goth panel member)saying, "I want a blowy from the puppet",as Noal was wearing a big,comical mascot type head ,adorned in colorful buttons,with a matching shirt-while poking fun at Jimmy. Funny bit,gotta love them Brits.😃👍🇬🇧💓

Watching these guys do maths is a real treat

Rachel Riley is a maths genius, like Carol Vorderman who preceded her in the job. They do have to work it out live, which the point of the name Countdown, and it's very rare that Rachel Riley doesn't have it worked out on the spot. Diego Maradona is an Argentinian footballer who famously cheated in a World Cup match against the England team, touching the ball with his hand, which the referee somehow didn't see. He's also famously had a cocaine addiction, and prone to various bizarre and emotional behaviour, so he makes a good character for imaginary comedy anecdotes like this.

Don’t know Diego Maradona ... Jesus Christ !!

It's not about using as many of the numbers as you can. Rather it's using the numbers you need to get the right answer. Also you can only use each number once during the calculation.

RIP Sean!

RIP Sean

sean is easily the best

Diego Maradona is a very famous Argentinian footballer. (Soccer player in the US) Rachel Riley is a mathematician (but because of some of the solutions she comes up with in 30 seconds I'd rather call her a mathemagician) so if she can't get the solution, it means it's a really difficult one. They can use as many of the numbers as they like, they don't have to use all of them, but they aren't allowed fractions so they can't divide 5 by 2 or 7 by 3 for example.

So sad he just died R. I. P.

Countdown is the original prog this is based on. It was the very first program shown on channel 4 in the UK back in 1981 when the channel was launched. Its been on our screens ever since. Most people say thay hate it. But most people within 3 minutes of it being on are playing along at home. 😂

8/10 Cats does Countdown. One of the funniest shows on UK TV. Sean Lock is just wonderful.

When you're doing a numbers game, the trick is to add a small number to the big ones before multiplying. Like how Rachel added 3 to 450 before multiplying by 2. It helps you get closer to the target instead of adding/subtracting all the small numbers at the end.

The numbers, - You can use all the numbers and +, -, x and divide - You can only use each number once from the 6 tiles. You have to come to the total target that is given.

Rest In Peace Sean ✝️

It is live obviously. You have 30 seconds to try and get the answer which isn't always possible. Even in a show like 8/10 cats that part is not scripted.

Sean lock had his own sitcom called 15 stories. And the Australian version is called "letters and numbers.

You have 30 seconds to do it! It's actually pretty fun to try and get it along with the clock.

5:32 Have you seen original UK Whose Line where nothing was rehearsed? You really should...

The maths game works as follows: you can use each number only once but you can multiply, devide, plus or minus any way you want and you will have to get the number on the top. you dont have to use all of the numbers but you cant use any of them twice even if you dont use some other number. you have 30 sec. time to solve it. 10 points if you get it, 7 points if you are 1-5 away and 5 points if you are 6-10 away.

Sean Lock’s greatest achievement is one of the greatest bits of comedy ever...

Came to watch video. Spent whole time staring at adorable sleepy cat instead :D

People should really know that the gorgeous blonde that picks the letters and the numbers is actually more then just a stunning looking girl. Rachel Riley is a certified genius with Degrees in Applied Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics and Quantum Theory from Oxford. Goes to show you should never judge a book just by the cover :)

“Character” does he think it’s a scripted show with actors or something

🙏 RIP 🙏

In the maths part, you don't have to use all the numbers, but you can only use each number once. I'm not certain, but I think you can only use basic operators (multiply, divide, addition, and subtraction). I say that 'cause I've never seen someone use powers or roots.

The sprinklers going off was because the hot air that came out of the arse when bending over would trigger fire safety.

Within a couple of minutes? There is a giant clock behind them that counts back from 30...they have 30 seconds to do the maths and letters

This is a spoof of the true program “count down”! The true program is recorded, and not a comedy. Both are good programs and some contestants can do the problems in under 30 seconds! Ps... I like the cat!

Don’t know what to say or understand anything that’s happening ?? Just reply with - “ Dayuuum “

This entire show is a parody of a real show where very smart people actually compete.

The "secret trick" to the numbers game is to learn your 75 times table really well

The numbers, you don't need to use as many as you can. You just need to do any math at all on them, to make any or all of the starting numbers into the number that's up on the board. I think you can only use a number once, but I'm not sure, I just watch highlights. :p

I have been to a live taping of this show, they really do the sums and things in the time limit, that part is not edited, only the comedy bits inbetween to cut it shorter for airing, it airs a while after its filmed, thought you might like to know, it's filmed in Manchester, media city xx

Every time Sean lock speaks am in kinks

The only place in the world not to know who maradonna is is North America, South Americans certainly do, Africans do, Europeans do, people in Asia do so also. Americans are so self obsessed with their own sports

as I live in England I watch countdown every day to every few days you don't need to use all the numbers.

Racheal Riley is a cambridge educated mathematician she is insanely good with math problems

You know countdown is a serious quiz show on it's own, and 8/10 cats is a comedy show all on it's own, they r channel 4 shows, and someone came up with the idea of putting them together, and it works really good

Rachel Riley, besides her looks, really has a math degree and is usually able to solve them all within 30 seconds.

The numbers aren't always possible, the target number and the selection they have to work it out are random

@6:31 i know what's coming... probably Sean Lock's best line ever!!!! I'm crying with anticipation!

Countdown is live with an audience

You are both hooked. Lol! I often pause to work it out.

the clock behind them ticks for 30 seconds each time for the maths and 30 for the letters.sean was really ill here,you wouldnt believe it.r.i.p.sean.

Watching you guys do math made me consider donating.

Glad to see reactions to this stuff. Love the British shows, even though you have to watch a lot of them to pick up more of the references.

I don't think the joke is hard to follow tbh. but Diego Maradonna is a famous footballer, he gained a shit load of weight once he retired. The whole joke revolves around Sean being given "Rectum of the year" rather than "Rear of the year". Obviously, rectum being what you'd see if you bent over. Maradonna's rectum would be so bad the sprinkers would go off.

Here's a tip for the numbers: don't try to randomly add up to the number. Either try to use the available numbers to reduce the number down to zero (which means reversing it is the solution), or else take the first two numbers (in the case of 9:20, it would be 96) and try to create a number as close to that as possible that you can then multiply by 10 (meaning you need to first create 10 to do so, so in this case 5x2). That will usually get you pretty close. I usually try to figure a way to divide the first two digits by ten, or else divide the whole number by 2 or 3 (even or odd). It's like a shortcut since there's almost always both an even and an odd small number available off the start.

I always have to pause the show to solve the puzzles too!

you guys doing math elevates this video

I do the same thing. First I watch the numbers and them react, then I pause it and try to get the number myself and see how close I can get. Then i'll see them finish.

This is basically a mash between countdown and another show called 8 of 10 cats. Sean lock is my favourite

Jimmy Carr did a roast in the USA he was great

5:20 the sum is 5 x 100 is 500. 75+8 is 83. 50/25 is 2. 83x2 is 166 and add the 500 for 666

Sean says what he wants. Great comedian.

Mine is Jimmy Carr. I think he is hilarious. Seen him live 4 times, going to see him again in July 😁

I'm a Kiwi Pakeha , A white native, I grew up in the 70's and 80s in New Zealand , Check out our best NZ comedian Billy T James check out home improvements

Cats 101 : Basic Cat Training Tips!

During that numbers game, I got 960: 50x6=300, 300-5=295, 295x3=885, 885+75=960

It is Count Down There is a giant clock behind them It counts down 30 seconds they don't have a couple of minutes

I'm glad these beautiful people are bad at maths. This is balance.

ah shame you didn't get that last bit by sean, it was hilarious!

I've been to a taping, and the time they get on video to solve the problem is the time they get live.

Rachel Riley is actually a rated Genius when it comes to math and holds degrees in various math subjects from top university.

There is two shows the original was called Countdown and has been on for about 30 years and this is called 8 out of 10 cats it’s the late night comedy adult version of countdown the daytime one is serious with a different host.

you can only add, minus, multiply or very unusually divide...the numbers are picked from a table the contestant gets to choose from... there ARE some possible tables that are regarded as impossible to solve, hence you will never see "5 from the top please"

Countdown is an actual show with ordinary people. This is a comedy version and far more entertaining, 8 out of 10 cats is a great show

Live recordings. Whole segments are filmed then edited together.

I love how you both played the game, it would be awesome if you guys did some research and finished of the video explaining your reactions to the bits you learnt

i got it once when the people on show didn't in real time i felt like Einstein lol

The maths section is definitely not rehearsed nor the letters. I grew up watching original countdown and most of time could do the maths in 30 secs even as a kid.

9:43 - Ashtyn, it's all just practice, and given how you light up, it seems you enjoy and want to learn. So give it a crack 🙂 Alot of people on that show start off all crap, but then they get into it, and they get good at the Maths, enjoying it they get more and more encouraged, and over time, not much mind, some get to kicking butt at it. Plenty of online resources. Really, give it a go, I've not seen people make that kind of face since school & uni, in Maths class!

One of my favourite TV shows ever, I love our when it's on, plus this video doesn't even show it at its funniest 🤣🤣🤣 I love channel 4 shows, they aren't afraid to push the limits

When doing the Maths round, it’s a good idea to have the 75 times table written down for ref. I tried the ‘961’ quiz and got 960 within 30 seconds - so one away. 75 + 5 = 80, 2 * 6 = 12, then multiply 80 * 12 gives you 960. Countdown is hard if you try to do it within 30 seconds! ;-)

this man rethinking his life after hearing her math

awesome, love you both

First time watching you watch this, much better then the other videos with you. You are a pretty cute couple with a chilled out kitty cat. Anyone going on at Ashtyn stop!

Ashtyn&Jon. One good episode was when one of the comics gave the maths girl something to workout. She's a prodigy, so she got a kick of it but once she finishes it her face went red. She looked at him with odd smile and said 'we'll talk about this afterwards.' The camera operator managed to look over her shoulder at the finished equation in her notebook and at first it looked like algebra. Then, you saw it . The shape of the figures also formed a sentence in English: Will You Go Out With Me, Gorgeous?

Love the format. Americans watching british comedy You can only use each number once. The show is prerecorded

Dont know who Diego Maradona is? YO WHAT?!

No it’s not live, it’s pre recorded. They have 30 seconds to Make the words or the Math, they don’t have to use as many as the numbers as possible, you just can’t use them more than once. They aren’t rehearsed and there aren’t lines.

I love how you stopped to try to work it out :)!

Just so you know, for the number rounds there isn't always a solution. The numbers are all randomly picked and you just have to get as close as possible to the number (the closer you are, the more points you get).
