Numberwang!!

[STFC]

The bawdy 70s hospital sketch was mildly amusing. The rest of it (up until Numberwang/Da Vinci Code at least, when I switched off) was shite.

I enjoyed the horrible waiter and the horrible priest

Mitchell and Webb are far funnier when they are doing other poeples material (ie the first two series of peep show, which they didnt get a proper writing credit for). Their writing is, at best, hit and miss....

Carol Vorderman pieing herself on Comic Relief was funny otherwise its shite.

 

[frogwoman]

i love mitchell and webb, can't understand why everyone hates them

 

[purves grundy]

Oooh nice bump

I was about to start a thread on David Mitchell... becoming quite a common sight on our screens now.

Good

I thought Mitchell & Webb were shit but, during a bout of flu, I watched all their BBC stuff on iplayer and am now a fully paid up fan.

Numberwang is basically a wholesale rip off of an old Adam and Joe thing though.

What thing be that?

 

[Sadken]

What thing be that?

The thing where they got 2 members of the public in and then played a game with completely indecipherable rules and no real input from the contestants before randomly declaring a bemused winner.

I would never have remembered it had I not been watching old A&J on 4OD recently.

Stephen!

Quizelstick.

Skyscraper101 already posted a link on the first page, it's much better.

 

[exleper]

Coming!

 

[Sadken]

I love "STEPHEN!"...why do you reckon it has caught the public's imagination so?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I noticed last night that a guy I started in TV as a trainee with is the producer. I'm getting made redundant next month. He was younger than me.

Mind you he was also funnier and more talented.

hmm, i dont think numberwang is a rip off of quizzelstick, they're about similar things but quizzlestick is about two contestants totally not understanding the rules of a ridiculously complicated game, whereas numberwang is just plain stupidity

ive seen quizzelstick and its good but i dont think its as funny as M and W

 

[frogwoman]

Coming!

wordwang!

 

[flaminjo]

i agree it looks funny for the first time only....
