This show went from an authoritarian state to state of democratic rebellion into a communist utopia and then to a dystopia ending in a coup of one of the original revolutionaries. And I loved every second of it.
@@EfHaichDeeIf that’s your takeaway, I don’t feel the need to fill the gaps a decent political and rhetorical education ( or even just a few hours of independent research ) could or perhaps should have already closed long ago. Good day.
Ayaode can with ease, I havent seen a clip where Richard is left speechless, I cant think of a comedian who can. But I think that has more to do with Richards intelligence, he knows when he can pick a fight and make a few jokes and when he cant.
I did not expect Brydon to steal the quiz like this, having seen him before and not been wowed, but now it's one of the most memorable show-long bits. Amazing.
i think it's because there was no one who outshined him and was able to do more. the other time i saw him was when him russell brand was on it's really hard to get noticed and do something funny when he draws all attention just for breathing
His style of humor kinda requires him to take over the conversation and make long thought out speeches and a lot of times show formats like this dont let him do that
I think Rob is an acquired taste. I never used to be much of a fan but recently I've been thinking he' actually really funny and genuinely a great host or guest.
😹😹 Rob was MADE to be a host! He’s the kinda host I’d watch. Not these celebrity hosts who just Try to be funny when they’re not. He can adapt to anything and he got great comedic timing that goes With whatever he’s on. Pure excellence.
I found Russell Brand as being really fu**ing annoying. For me Russell's 'revolution' was childish, unfunny and cringy where as Rob was more methodical and his 'revolution' had more substance and context, which made it more funny and enjoyable.
Credit to someone for coming up with a new humorous take other than the rather tired ‘pretend we’re really stupid and give silly answers really earnestly’ that Richard and Noel pull off very well and no one else really manages
I suspect by the end, the "cause fuck you dude" was a lot more genuine than the playing along that came before. Like, up until Rob actually took over the podium, Jimmy was treating it like a jaded school teacher letting the class clown jabber. "I'll let you mouth off as long as you stay in your chair, but you came up to my spot and now I'm going to flunk you because I'm the one with the grade book." Edit: on review, I had the sequence reversed. I stand by my overall interpretation but the thing that shifted Jimmy from "hah hah" to "fuck you dude" must have been more subtle.
It’s amusing to read the comments from people analysing this in some sort of serious manner. These people are comedians first, nobody’s feelings are hurt, they all just riff along, realising this is great comedy. They’re way on top of the situation.
i know its all a joke, and its super funny... but its also a really interesting microcosm of how insurrections happen. you have the wronged party whos issue becomes the 'posterboy' or rallying cry (Richard and Greg) the figurehead of the rebellion (Rob) the independent expert that points out flaws in the system (david) then the and the vocal in-sighted (claudia) rob used a small victory of subverting the quiz to rally everyone together until he finally made his coup... which is when rob ended the bit... I know it was in jest but it ticks all the boxes of how these things happen IRL
Big Fat Quiz is one of my favorite things and I never would have known about it without RU-vid - Thank You to everyone who made it possible for me to watch this. You all kick ass!
For those who are not familiar with Rob Briton’s carrier: He attended the panel show WILTY as a contestant in series 2. During that episode he was quite the dominant character. A few months fast forward, the host of the show WILTY was sacked and Rob was hired as the host of the show as of series 3. This episode of BFQ is teasing that incident. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VjFCRkZmQT4.html
I remember Rob did a similar thing on Would I Lie To You when Angus Deayton was presenting and Rob was a guest panellist on David's team. It was like Rob became the presenter without Angus realising it! Maybe that was why Rob immediately became the presenter when Angus left the show!
the funny part is they didn't get points for peer pressure but they got them for not even naming the song lol "the drake song where they dance in unfurnished white rooms"
Only in British comedy could an attempted revolution play out with all players (even the host) complicit in the the process. Next year: Rob Brydon's "Slimmer quiz of the year" rival show airs.
