8 out of 10 cats does Countdown is hilarious, you will be introduced to Sean Lock who is a legend, you will enjoy Carrot in a box and Sean Locks 'the tiger who came for a pint' story
Yes!! “Carrot in a box,” the the rematch… and there’s even a third matchup after Sean. Miss that guy, he was hilarious… especially that “challenging” comment he made about the gal’s costume choice (I forget her name, stunning mathematical mind).
@BoringReviews Countdown is a British game show. The main round a contestant chooses 9 letters either a vowel or consonant. Using each letter selected once, they have 30 seconds to come up with the longest word - which must be in the dictionary. The other round is a contestant chooses 6 numbers. Using only basic mathematics (+, -, ×, ÷) they have to reach a random selected number. Again they can only use each number once and within 30 seconds. 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, is exactly the same as above. However instead of members of the public. It is comedians
@@WilliamStewart-tk9dj No, I didn't. Try understanding context. My comments are for American shows yours are for British shows, see the difference? Plus why are you citing me to support your statement?
@@WilliamStewart-tk9dj Did you see a denial? I simply explained the difference. Seems you have a problem not me. I though with this childish exchange. Think what you like.
Before I forget, famous Irishman Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy. In 2005, a life-size bronze statue of Lynott by Dublin sculptor Paul Daly was unveiled on Harry Street, off Grafton Street in central Dublin.
My favourite answer on Family Fortunes - they were asked to name a dangerous race, and expected things like the Grand National, the Isle of Man TT or Formula 1. Instead the answer given was "The Arabs".
There's a relatively new UK quiz show called "I literally just told you" hosted by Jimmy Carr. Series 1 episode 2 was so continuously catastrophic I was in tears. There are clips on RU-vid but I cannot recommend strongly enough that you see the full episode if possible. The silly/stupid answers are not comedy gold, they're platinum.
That Family Feuds/Fortunes one when they had to name a famous Irishman was part of a show that gave me one of the best laughs I have ever had in my 69 English years and it involved the first of the failed contestants, later on in the show, where he excelled himself.I don't want to ruin it, in case it is in a sequel but it was a truly bizarre set of co-incidences:)
Please remind me. No one will read our exchange, I'm sure. lol I need to know. Give me a clue at least, because I'll probably know it. How are you doing by the way, my friend?
I think Room 101 is the type of show you might like. 3 celebs usually comedians say which things within a category they would like to condemn to room 101 (big brother)
Something a bit different for you guys, Victoria Wood - 'Let's Do It' - The Ballad of Barry and Freda! 😅 Just checked up, the only things you might need to Google beforehand is a 'hostess trolley' and a 'nighty' 😂
George Bernard Shaw, Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Bono, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker, William Butler Yeats, Bob Geldof...
There's something theraputic about the 70s gameshows (I think the one with the famous Irish, was singer Max Bygraves presenting, reminded me of the good old days being very young and my parents would watch this with my nan (nana). My dad had a few of Max's record! Sure the fashions have aged, but much of the humour is still there!
8 out of ten cats does countdown is very funny hosted by Jimmy Carr can be a little bit rude. I know how much you love WILTY a must see is Rob Brydon snuggle jumper with Nick Hewer and German comedian Hennining Wehn. British Treasure actor Miriam Margoles on the Graham Norton show she is hilarious. There are also try not to laugh parts 1, 2 and 3 on Graham Norton all are great fun to watch. Love your reviews
Oscar Wilde is quite a famous Irishman but probably too highbrow for Family Fortunes. George Best would have been a fairly obvious answer for the time that show was filmed.
@@renejean2523 Pedant, ask anyone born in Northern Ireland and they will say they are Irish just as anyone born in Scotland will say they are Scottish and anyone born in Wales will say they are Welsh.
The "cock" in Trafalgar Square was, indeed, a statue of a cockerel or rooster if you prefer. They often phrase the questions on that show to test Bradley's ability to keep a straight face or make broadcastable jokes about them.
@@bobbyboko6317- Don't remember that. Sounds like an off the cuff remark referring to his ancestry, and obviously a joke. But he's never claimed to be Irish. Millions of Americans claim Irish ancestry though.
8 out of 10 cats. And as others have said - carrot in a box is gold. You need to do them in order really so find the first one between Sean and John. And then do the second one between Sean and John.
There's a famous, much older, Catchphrase clip, the game where they reveal the animation behind the grid a square at a time. Makes you wonder if they knew full well what they were up to there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-56DZrecsVwQ.html
Has to be 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, it is hilarious. Also reacting to On the Buses is going to be an odd one, it didn't age well as a series it is very stuck in the seventies and you have to watch the series from the start and doesn't really have many stand out moments but good luck with it.
I was a kid back then and everyone at school loved 'On the Buses', but I watched an episode fairly recently and you're right, it hasn't aged well. The actors were very good though. I can still do my Blakey impression. It's the only one I've ever done well but the opportunity to use it is *extremely* rare living here in the US! lol Ditto doing Frankie Howerd's "Oooh missus!" when someone makes a double entendre. And as for Kenneth Williams' "Mmmatron", ...well, you get the idea.
The first Guy to fail,later on,gave me when of the best laughs ever when he was of the Chosen 2 players to play for the big money because through luck and randomness, he got caught up in a bizarre set of coincidences.
@@maximushaughton2404 What happened was that when he was let back to the Host from Private Booth when his Brother-In 0Law got 131 he heard the word "Chicken" from the audience so he knew "Turkey" mist be an answer and could not get that out of his mind so when he was asked the first question, he replied "Turkey" then the next q. was "What can you buy in a supermarket" so he said "Turkey" again which is true,in theory, but,of course, got Zero and then came the Turkey question so, once again, he replied Turkey. I don't think Bob Johnson E.I.P. was beaten but he certainly wasn't invited around at Christmas to have some........LOL
the one where you see the host fall down the steps he broke his leg the last one yes you call it family feud we call it family fortunes the word game when both men said wankers thats called countdown
8 out of 10 Cats does countdown from channel 4 in the UK, Jimmy Carr hosts the anarchic game show mash-up with the help of Rachel Riley and Susie Dent, as a barrage of comedians take on the numbers and letters
Completely forgot about Catchphrase. Would love to see you watch a clip of that but unlikely it would e on youtube. But Cats does Countdown is something you should watch.
I found some episodes of Catchphrase on RU-vid, but more importantly I found the full clip that was partially shown in the video above. The game where people were laughing at the cook and Death in the kitchen (seemingly doing something inappropriate), and trying to guess the answer, is shown FULLY in this: Funniest Catchphrase Ever! | Catchphrase Mother's Day 2014 | ITV Catchphrase | Full HQ The Channel the video is on, is called - J World TV Live Video Length = 09:51 minutes The full segment is 09:51 minutes long, so it should give context to what you were watching, give you resolution to what they were laughing at and you also get to see what the actual game is properly. Love the reactions, even though it wasn't the greatest video to react to. This reply is longer than intended, but I may as well mention a short *Christmas Themed* clip from Cats Does Countdown, while I'm typing this; Try - "Carrot in a Box" Jimmy Carr IN TEARS After Game with Sean Lock & Jon Richardson! | 8 Out of 10 Cats The Channel the video is on, is called - E4 Video Length = 04:22 minutes Hope you both have a great day. Stay Awesome!!
I would definitely recommend Room 101 it was always on before WILTY which I know we like your reactions too👍. A lot of people from WILTY will be on it as well, they basically get the choice to argue what they want to get locked into a room by arguing in a fun way why they hate it so much. Go for the episodes with Frank Skinner as the host as he is the best comedian host to do it. I have found it on RU-vid so should be easy to find. We love your reactions from the UK.
That video was not the best. Shame, as there are better videos out there, both with stupid answers and funny answers. Love your channel btw, its become part of my morning routine, waking up and watching your video before getting out of bed.
This was 40 years ago so Bono would have probably been an obscure effort, Farell was a child and Mcgreggor not born but I get the point. Roy Keane would 100% be there in 2023. The funny thing is that they were seemingly just making up Irish sounding names therefore all missing the point. Like saying Stuart Mcgreggor for Scottish or Alan Jones for Welsh

It's called a sunset for obvious reasons. That's when the sun sets into its cold form and goes black, so you can't see it anymore. Then, God puts it in the oven the next day and as it heats up in the space oven it rises. Basic stuff people.
They once asked those two , name a dangerous race...ie' grand prix -Isle of man TT etc ... answer was...the Arabs, name a bird with a long neck... answer - Naiomi Campbell...its on here somewhere.
If you do the "8 out of 10 cats does Countdown" you will come across the comedian Jon Richardson. He's very funny with a bit of an OCD personality. The following standup routine is on RU-vid, which I think you will find funny, "Jon Richardson On Having Fun Arguments With His Wife | Old Man Live | Universal Comedy". It lasts just under 10 minutes.
You're right, Jodi, Saoirse Ronan is, indeed Irish, although she was born in the Bronx, which made her appearance in the movie _Brooklyn_ even more interesting for me. I have noticed that Americans can struggle telling Scottish and Irish people apart, but there's no excuse for British people to give such poor answers. BTW, the man who guessed "Disraeli" (an English-born Prime Minister of the late 1800s) also appears in a clip later from the same show where he gave "turkey" as his guess for almost all the answers in the final prize round.
@@Jodi_BoringReviews For both of you - don't let keyboard skorpions crawl under your skin, that's wasting time... Those get only satisfaction that they don't deserve.
The first two Catchphrase clips were totally contrived and copied from a classic example from a much older episode. The 'cock' and 'dick' clips were equally predictable and unspontaneous and not in any way hilarious. The guys got it right when they said the "Apes" answer was the first funny clip.
