"Carrot in a Box" Jimmy Carr IN TEARS After Game with Sean Lock & Jon Richardson! | 8 Out of 10 Cats 

What the hell were the production team thinking? The most inane game ever dreamed up, but piss your pant funny outcome. Jimmy Car desperately trying to hold it together was so funny. 🤣🤣🤣

Pity it was years ago and there hasn’t been anything that funny since

Perhaps it was actually Sean's idea and the production team kept that fact a secret from everyone else, including Jimmy.

Why do you keep uploading the same old videos?

@@ballconei4879 because the new stuff is crap compared to the old ones.

He bluffed Jon, Jimmy, everyone on the show, everyone in the audience, and everyone who's watched this for the first time.... Absolute mastery....

Well said

Bluffs me every single time I watch it . . . . .

@@parkourperson28 If you take @J D A comment literally you need to be the one having a dementia test!!!

"But the game is to get the carrot and I got the carrot." He says there at the end after Sean threw the carrot at his head.

RIP to the greatest treacherous piece of shit

OMG Spoilers!!! 😄

@@jamesfoo8999 Don't read comments before watching the video...

@@stavik96 Who reads the comments before watching the videos?

@@gibsonduvall The guy I responded to most likely.

@@stavik96 😁Very good.

Didn't think about that . . You're so right

or "wait... wasn't it supposed to be in the other box? I'm sure I've put it in the red one!"

I’d bet that person was also second guessing which box they put it in

Or.. oh no did I put carrots in both boxes 😨😅

"He was so good, even I was convinced that I had put the carrot in that box." - 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown Head of Carrot Distribution

Actually, it was convincing the world he had a carrot in his box

Nah, it was convincing people that other boxes may contain carrots.

Fuck off

Everone shutup

Lol thats exactly right!

Some of the best TV I've seen. Such a funny man, RIP Sean :(

I’m shocked at his passing…was a class guy and super funny - one of the best comedians in the game. RIP Sean ❤️🕊

Came to watch this clip after hearing the news, what a loss. RIP

RIP :(

The best way to describe him as a comic is savage. His wit combined with his ability to vocalize makes him like that funny neighbourhood dad that's cool with everyone.

Fun fact: jon actually said you are a psycho, if you listen closely 'genius' is cut into the bit.

@@modest123 Why did they do that?

@@modest123 is that what he said? I thought it was something else originally too

@@sonicdiablo8968 Because it’s kind of ableist

@@DeathnoteBB Lol

Who else is off to re-watch the "challenging wank" episode next?

There is no limit of moments, enough to fill a lifetime I’d say. But yes this is my most favourite.

Well said

I didn't

That told me there was no carrott.

@@theeggtimertictic1136 wow you're so smart

@@RenewedRS I actually am 😂 and I've had lots of experience catching out people lying ... but on the other hand I can't spell 'carrot' 🥕🥕🥕

@@theeggtimertictic1136 - oh hindsight is a wonderful thing...

@Hugh Mungus Wow you're surprisingly defensive 😂

Actually i think that is a set up against Jon.. At 00:56 sec. Jon comment "I can't wait to win that carrot'.. And at 00:58 sec. Jimmy's face impression tells a lot! Sean is a genious, no doubt, but Jimmy is with him i'm sure! Watch again:)

If you listen carefully, he actually says "you are a fucking genius", but they cut the no-good bad word out, the bastards.

Famous last words

@@vene Even though at 3:37 John says "There's no fucking carrot".

This would have been utterly complete if Jon had said ' Look I know that you've got the carrot, it's brutally obvious that you don't know how to play this game, so I am going to let you have the carrot, that's the kind of guy I am'. Now that, that, would have been brilliant, Sean lock's face too..

I would have been like “Well now I wanna keep my box!”

​@@editingprojects2520 Huh? You... bluffed the dealer? 🤔

Wow

@Kaian凯安 pooof

Amen, brother.

Don't call him devil he was lovely men

@@AbhishekSharma-zq5qk It's a quote (paraphrase) from a movie. He's not calling Sean a devil, he's implying that Sean is a master trickster :)

That kind of phrase "There'll never be another like you" is used far too frequently these days. In Sean's case, however, I 100% agree with you. One of a kind.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RHymS1F0r_w.html

That's actually shocking for a completely separate reason. This means that Jon literally knew that Sean already knew the rules from the pitch meeting... so either all three of them were bluffing all of us or Sean managed to bluff Jon so completely that Jon forgot that Sean already knew it was a bluffing game... or perhaps the description at the pitch meeting wasn't very complete.

​@@anonaguy3008 jon probably didn't think much off it at first, tis just a game to fill time after all. It's only when the results were shown it hit him Sean's been 2 steps ahead. Or at least I'm hoping that's the case

@@masterdon187 Maybe the description was just "Guess who has a carrot in their box" and Sean was like "Brilliant, let's do it" and took it from there.

Wait hold on. Are you telling me that Sean INVENTED (aka pitched) this game in a meeting? I thought the producers or writers invented it or something

Even if he really had the carrot it would have bin funny as hell.

Absoulty. I've watched this so many times. It always cheers me up. And never gets old. Comedy at its finest.

It already has

agreed. it is hilarious

Because of sean lock and jimmy carr yeah..no one else tho.

Check out the tortoise clip from QI with Sean and David Mitchell it's amazing

He's freaking hilarious. I'm from the states, this kind of quick wit is not as common here. I love the panels on this show.

RIP to one of the GOATs

@Georgina Orwell not sure about non-existent but it sure is in short supply. Offhand I can't picture any witty banter that matches this, coming from comedians born in the United States. I mean maybe a minute or two.... but not sustained funniness like this. I have to wonder, are ordinary people funnier over there too? Like if you sit around in a pub, is there a lot of this?

@Paul Thomas interesting that it was Joan Rivers that made you laugh, but no one else. Although I would say she could banter well. I wish we had shows like this but we just don't. Sad to hear about the passing of Sean.

@Georgina Orwell I can't say that you're totally wrong. There's obviously a difference between general support, and constant self-congratulatory arrogance. And I think poor primary education feeds into this. Of course, there are some people here that are funny, and they don't take themselves too seriously, and those are the people I like to hang out with.

Genius was edited in and if you listen closely you can hear it.

​@@AG-ch4od they edited out "f*cking" before "genius"

Indeed he will be.

Very well said. If Jimmy ANF the audience weren’t laughing thinking Sean doesn’t understand the game, Jon may have had a chance of working out it was a bluff. But because (as you say) he fooled everyone else, Jon got sucked in. Very very clever Sean.

I’ve watched it a dozen times, and each time I have to remind myself that, in fact, Sean does not have a carrot in his box.

Which little part?

So all of him then

Lazy Jesus Jon’s Johhny

His nickname became Little John 😁😁😁

What little part .... his leg

dont forget nazi island lol

Clubbing seals is such a good moment. The Tiger Who Went For A Pint is another great moment too

On the 6th episode of Cats Does Countdown, when Miles Jupp is offering to make a side bet with Sean on a round of numbers, after scoffing at the notion of betting his stuffed rodent pen mascot "Claude" (a singularly classic gag in and of itself) or for £1000 cash, he instead generously asserts that if Miles wins "I tell you what--I won't spit on you when we're having sex tonight." That single line brings me to tears no matter how many times I see it. The deranged genius that produces such an unexpected and disarming response. It left Jimmy Carr in such a state that the entire round came and went with a stage hand having to come on, not once but twice, with tissues to wipe away Jimmy's tears. Nobody will ever live up to his delightfully twisted wit. The perfect chaotic foil to Jon Richardson's straight man, and a crucial acerbic voice that made Cats Does Countdown such a hit--it could have so easily been a shallow, rude parody of a game show but Sean Lock made it something special. I'm not much of a fan of game shows or panel shows, but I will rewatch that entire series over and over until I die because those three comedians (not to mention Joe Wilkinson's inimitable streak as Rachel's sociopathic production assistant and the show's Head of I.T.). There's never been anything like it, and I don't believe that kind of lightning can be bottled. It's a miraculous confluence of comedic genius and roasting of tradition that defines British humor for me every bit as much as legends like Monty Python and Douglas Adams.

I was remembering Sean Lock earlier when talking to my friend, and I told him about "Challenging wank". He was in tears. It's not even a "you had to be there moment". Fucking brilliant!!

@@jaxonrox i catch the occasional clip for WILTY, and can appreciate some of the more chaotic moments (James Acaster’s insane life comes to mind). As an American, British panel shows were something of a novelty. Since I’ve been using the internet to watch TV for over 20-years, I’m more familiar with overseas programming than most. My love for Stephen Fry brought me to QI in its first season, and that exposed me to the general format and many of the usual comedians and personalities. I really enjoyed QI, but most of the other shows in that format feel a little too contrived for me. The organic chemistry between Fry and Davies is another kind of inimitable magic, and those special elements are what make this kind of entertainment worthwhile for me.

And possibly losing lots of money. On a horse.

lol that sounds shit

can never happen now :(

He did it so naturally and right away, as if he didn't have time to think. After that we just assumed the carrot was in there. Brilliant.

Agreed. Also: 200th like.

Agreed. Only fools and horses has that famous moment with Del Boy falling through the bar scene. 8 out of 10 cats does countdown has this glorious moment to cherish. So many comments saying that Sean's passing has genuinely shock them is a testament to the genius of the man and the universal fondness we have for him.

Too soon.

Imagine Neville Chamberlain returning to Britain, holding the box aloft to massive applause, opening it in front of the eyes of the world, only to discover that Hitler had the box with the carrot in it all along.

Czechoslovakia * ;)

welcome to the real world

Hitlers promise was a double-bluff - targeted on that very individual, which stood clear for all his life on the concept of bluffing at all.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They would probably change it to “freedom fries in a box”.

....and still not find a carrot.

With guns and sound effects.

We would and it would suck from the very first episode

It is such a loss for this world. He is undeniably one of my all time favourite comedians. Such an amazing man

Man up

@@MF_JONES shut up you freak. people are allowed to grieve over someone who means a lot to them

@@Lieutenant_UK Sean Lock was great, but crying over a celebrity death... Dear oh dear

Me too 😢

Seriously in tears

I thought you meant losing 'Carrot in the box' was a devastating loss lol it was a pretty bad loss though!

@@Pirosbor Same lol

Don’t worry, the game will be back

Will never be the same

Lee Mack is up there but agreed, Sean Lock is the best

I see Sean Locke (and love him) but raise you Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie to You?

James acaster: “hold my ready to eat apricots”

Bob Mortimer....

That's not how discussions work, mate.

@Georgina Orwell I'm so sorry. I meant the dude.

@Georgina Orwell why does it matter in the context of what he's saying? this is what people mean by "getting offended by everything" some people interchange the words "guys" and "people" all the time, stop being offended by everything, you're causing your own negativity.

The day I take someone called Georgina Orwell seriously, on the internet no less, you can shoot me in the face.

I agree. Jimmy is almost crying.

Just realized that, he died a literal undefeated champion

So you watched it 3 times, ok.

they played again if you want to see that

@@vince8901 Yea, but at that point Jon already knew hes playing against a pro :D

Would like to see again but with Jon leading.... Can Jon bluff Sean?

@@vince8901 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7USlIrLQ7Dw.html

He'd have still played dumb and called it a stupid game, the only difference being he'd be adamant about swapping his box for Jon's right off the bat to bluff that his box isn't the one with the carrot in, thereby making Jon want to swap back once it's his turn. In either scenario, Jon would assume that Sean isn't playing the game seriously.

This moment is going down in history

The reaching in was flipping genius. And he did it with such intent, we are sure he's going to grab a carrot.

People still get upset by death? How odd.

@Georgina Orwell That’s a fantastic reply, to a very stupid comment; thanks for giving me a good laugh.

@@KaneK1234 Thank you for creating an opportunity for Georgia to make us laugh at your expense. We appreciate your sacrifice. Not you though, obviously.

No, we need to grant his wish of spreading his ashes on Piers Morgan's eyes. All joking aside, what a devastating loss.

I also mean this with the greatest of respect, if Sean is buried in a coffin it would be only right that there is another coffin beside him that's empty. RIP Sean Lock

Only Sean knows if there's a carrot in his box.

When Jon dies, they have to swap coffins to honour this moment.

I agree there was something very very special about him wasn't there. I will miss him, it's such a loss my heart goes out to his family.

I can't find the episode

@@chattycathydoll That is the same clip

chattycathydoll amazing thank you for that rollercoaster of laughter. Loved it.

The second one is good too, but c'mon now, this is easily the best!

@@gnack420 In the rematch, Sean literally gives Jon everything to redeem himself. But when he realizes, that Jon just can't take the hint, he stays silent with pitiful compassion, while Jon makes a fool of himself. It is amazing. This first one is an entertaining showcase of skill, but the second one is it's own universe of comic content.

You say that like you have a say.
