Not viewable in the UK. Naga Munchetty is host, with guest panellists Richard Osman and Maisie Adam joining team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. 8 Dec 23
(me an aussie) Love the fact Flat Earthers say we don't exist, because we have a Flat Earth Society office near where I live. I must drop in one day and give them the bad news that they aren't real. 🤣
I actually replayed that bit where Maisie tells Naga to drop her hand all together. The disappointed look on her face is priceless! Thank you for the upload!
I deliberately waited this week for the extended version and then forgot to check - but remembered tonight. O M G. I am so glad I waited for something so funny and cutting and on point all at once….so much needed. They obviously had a lot of fun recording and reacting to each other last week!
@@holdenmcgroin3995 I just thought after Naga's "Think about the vaccine" he started to mime thinking about it, contemplating about it, maybe imagining how it looks like, marvelling at the imaginary colors...
Do people really complain about that? I'm American - I wouldn't know. I've heard panelists talk about that though. I always like it when they have Tory MP's on the panel. They have to have a good sense of humor or they wouldn't do the show, and everyone seems to have a lot of fun. Everyone takes the piss, but it's good-natured.
@@beenaplumber8379 The BBC is supposed to be impartial, so whenever any particular party is attacked, the worms crawl out of the woodwork to complain. If you can't have satire or even facts about things there would be no point in carrying on. I think it is fairly well balanced, but it isn't always so good-natured (and rightly so, sometimes).
@@dandare1001it's hard to be "balanced" when it's only the one party in power at a time. though it does explain why Sayeedi Warsi shows up so often on this and the Last Leg, she's the most human-seeming Tory they have available.
@@DavidChong Very true, and they certainly do criticise the other parties when they deserve it. I personally think they do a good job. Neither Ian nor Paul tend to criticise unfairly, although it's not difficult to see when somebody is on that is in their aim. Yes, Baroness Warsi seems likeable. I do get the feeling that many politicians realise that it's a game of sorts, or that despite their own personal political beliefs, they have to live with less scrupulous colleagues and are dying to out them.
Cheers for this. Boris Johnson through his BBC cronies was able to end 'Mock the Week' and, create a whole show using ultra rightwing LauraK but they haven't found the balls to cut off this unpleasent for the tories show thank god.
I think Naga is an excellent host and I gather from things said in the program that she is an extremely well known person on UK television. So, why do the panellists pronounce her name as "Narga" when she introduces herself as "Nagga"? I'm confused.
I don't know Naga Munchetty, and maybe this is just me but... Close your eyes, and play from 3:17 and tell me if I'm crazy: It sounds just like Victoria Coren-Mitchell. 🤨
@@phuttyyt they're probably thinking of tikka masala, or perhaps that the term "curry" to refer to the large variety of traditional stews and sauces from south asia's cuisines is an anglo invention
@@phuttyytIf you think 2 billion South Asians call a wide range of their food "curry", despite there being no general similarity, either superficial or deep, you would be mistaken. "Curry" is a British term for an enormous array of technically and ethnically heterogenous dishes that originated in S Asia.
"Stop the boats" "Latte drinkers" "avocado" its sounding a bit familiar. Been hearing the right wing politicians use those phrases for close to a decade here in Australia. Although the latter is "inner city latte drinkers".
If the BBC has a bit less money to spend next year it should think about cutting its news division, which is awful, and stop making sycophantic programmes on the royal family and the armed forces. And King Gary.
No mickey-taking of Netanyahu on this 'topical' news show. Note Richard's joke about the bomb: "Did the Saudis try to buy it?" when 'the Israelis' would have been more topical and relevant but, of course, not allowed. And how easily they play that game.
it is understandable that the woman Adam lost out on the quiz show but how come we still have to put up with her uneducated nonsense and never knowing when not to keep quiet when she knows nothing
Rwanda's population density is almost double of the UK's, and the GDP per capita is in Rwanda less than 2% of the UK's. Yet the Parliament is like: "Oh, big strong Rwanda, help us poor Brits. We are so overwhelmed with life and stuff, and we already start crying, when the wine list isn't to our liking. Please, we are begging you. We just don't know how to do anything, except for spending all that money someone put into our accounts.", huh?
All dogs have limited cognitive functions in comparison to wolves or other large canids. On the origin of dogs: When Humans were in competition with wolves, it is supposed that it is somewhere in Mongolia (between 15 and 30 thousand years ago) that the first dogs were created by breeding canids (probably a couple of wolves first) with severe disabilities. It is likely that a version of the dog was created by successive hybridization with other canids. Indeed, dogs are canids with the brain development of a four-month-old wolf cub (brain size 30% less than that of an adult wolf). This explains why dogs exhibit neotenic (cub-like) characteristics (folded ears, barking, etc.) and are so obedient. Their mental growth cannot exceed that of a young cub. Dogs are "genetically coded" to obey the one or those they identify as their mother or their elders (genetically programmed slaves, one might say). When Humans created dogs, they probably did it to survive and therefore without malice, but it's quite chilling to think that Human populations then used dogs (and therefore sort of disabled wolves reduced into slavery) to hunt wild wolves and other such canids almost to extinction. The worst thing is that the dog then became a despised and neglected animal for a long time! As for returning to the wild: the dog does not easily form populations that are truly independent of human beings, apart from the case of the dingo which may have arrived in Australia at a lesser degree of domestication than that of contemporary domestic dogs. Populations of wolves having been crossed with dogs have become greatly weakened. Let's not forget that Human beings have sometimes crossed dogs to create even poorer "breeds" genetically (and therefore suffering from serious handicaps often resulting in terrible suffering and premature death for these animals) and this especially between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century with the despicable aim of promoting eugenicist theses. For example: Labradors tend to become completely paralyzed, bulldogs tend to choke, German shepherds tend to become paralyzed from the pelvis, spaniels go deaf, Dalmatians go blind (the less they have spots the faster this happens), etc. Sources: Canine ethology courses in university teach pretty mush all I've said. Otherwise read the works of researchers like Coppinger or Bieliaev. For the link with the Eugenists, read the history of this despicable movement starting with its founder Francis Galton.
I really wish people wouldn't use slavery for casual hyperbole. It's usually accompanied by a blithe indifference to the actual consequences of historical slavery.
Comedy is subjective. Many people find Maisie funny and quick-witted, which is why she is invited back to panel shows. Unfortunately for you, the world doesn't revolve around your personal tastes alone. I am not sure why you felt it necessary to insult someone who's comedy you don't jive with. 🤔
