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.
That reaching in to grab the carrot which wasn't actually there as soon as he opened the box was just bloody brilliant. RIP
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.
RIP Sean Lock, will cherish this video that bit more now. Sharpest wit around.
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.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he was an idiot.
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!
Just imagine being the person on set who put the carrot in one of the boxes before the game. As soon as Sean started talking they must have gone "oh, he is 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
I love the fact that even when the boxes were swapped, Sean kept up the act that there was a carrot in the box. He had no reason to, he could have just waited for the reveal, but he built it up even more. Jon was right; he is a genius.
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
"Can I say if theres no carrot in that box, you are a genius."
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..
his acting like he was reaching in to grab the carrot was brilliant
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 😂
Shame you cut out Jon's post loss reaction. "If you want to play this at home all you need is a carrot, a box, and an uncle who is a treacherous piece of shit."
"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
@@jaewok5G RIP indeed. A sad, sad day.
@@jaewok5G the nation’s uncle
😂😂😂
I love how everyone has come here. To this moment to pay their respects to Sean. RIP Sean Lock. May you win all of the carrots wherever you may be.
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.
@@grantm6514 th-cam.com/video/mtvpouHcrz0/w-d-xo.html
Well said
Someone should prank Jon and start sending him a carrot every year on the anniversary of this episode.
To think so fast. To understand the game so perfectly and so quickly while convincing EVERY SINGLE PERSON watching that you didn't understand and could care less. This was certainly one of the funniest things to happen in the history of comedy. I watch it very regularly and I'm in tears every time. Sean genuinely was a genius and he is SORELY missed. RIP Sean.
Couldn’t care less btw*
Not missed by me. I hated him.
'The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was letting people think he had a carrot in his box.'
RIP Sean. What a legend 👏
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 :)
Generations from now this will go down as one of the greatest television moments of the 21st century.
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
RIP Sean Lock. Comedy genius. There will never be another like you.
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.
Title holder for best 'Carrot in a Box'er'.. too.. ah, Sean.
Best way to win any game is to convince everyone that you haven’t got a clue how the game is played. This legend of a man played everyone here. 🤣🤣 superb performance.
I would have been like “Well now I wanna keep my box!”
Man invoked Sun Zhu
That’s how I won $300 in my first ever real life round of blackjack
Oh, I see.
@@editingprojects2520 Huh? You... bluffed the dealer? 🤔
3:40 - Sean’s twirling of the imaginary moustache like a Saturday morning cartoon villain who’s just foiled the hero is the absolute best
I've probably watched this a dozen times, and Sean is pure genius. He never actually addresses Jon. Instead, he bluffs Jimmy into "I don't understand this game". Jimmy and everyone else in the studio do the work of bluffing Jon. Glorious!
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.
This is one of British TV's greatest moments of all time. Sean Lock is an utter genius.
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.
Sean Lock’s bluff was so deep that we couldn’t even tell he was the only one of the three to support playing this game in the pitch meeting. Jimmy and Jon both shrugged and Sean said “let’s do it” (source Jimmy Carr interview on his channel)
th-cam.com/video/RHymS1F0r_w/w-d-xo.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
I mean, the genius of this was that everyone was already in stitches without the twist and then the twist just completely makes it amazing.
Even if he really had the carrot it would have bin funny as hell.
Sean's ability to seem like he has no grasp of any bluffing tactics and end up fooling everyone is probably the best example of bluffing I've ever witnessed.
That "reaching to get the carrot" was fricking brilliant
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.
RIP Sean lock, this sums up Sean’s brilliance delivering one of the funniest ever tv moments!
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.
@architectofechoes4 agreed. There's also the reading out of the letter , with Sean saying "Please Stop" 😂😂
I feel like a day out with Sean Locke would feel like losing lots of little games you didn't realise you were playing.
And possibly losing lots of money.
On a horse.
lol that sounds shit
can never happen now :(
“If there is no carrot in that box , you're a genius "
You were right,Jon. He was ❤️✨
RIP Sean
@AG-ch4od they edited out "f*cking" before "genius"
A carrot, a box, two brilliant comedians & one genius. Along with “challenging wank”, “clubbing seals” & “rectum of the year”, this is how we will remember you Sean.
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.
RIP Sean, will forever make me laugh. One of the finest
What a devastating loss. To think we'll never have moments like this again. Sean was unique. RIP.
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
Actually never shed a tear over a "celebrity" dying before, but did just now.
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 😢
1:15 right here when he pretended to try grab it, thats when he won LOL
Genius
I love the smile Sean gives Jon when he says if there's no carrot in the box, he's a genius lol condolences from Canada, Sean Lock is a comedy legend
This is an even better bluff than when Hitler promised he wouldn't invade Czechoslavakia
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.
RIP Sean lock. There will never be a man better than you at carrot in a box.
Just realized that, he died a literal undefeated champion
A little part of Jon died that day...
Which little part?
So all of him then
Lazy Jesus Jon’s Johhny
His nickname became Little John 😁😁😁
What little part .... his leg
RIP Sean. You will be missed.
Indeed he will be.
His bluff was so good, he probably even convinced the person who put the carrot in the box that he had a carrot in his!
The Americans could get at least 4 series out of this idea!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
I imagine being the guy who put the carrot in one of the boxes, and knowing imediately what Sean was doing.
@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.
Sean is the greatest panel show comedian, end of discussion.
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.
Despite this being a devastating moment, I like how we're all gathered here today, with the bittersweetness of mourning a wonderful comedian while laughing with him, celebrating his wit and humor.
Rest in peace.
Agreed. Also: 200th like.
Jon doesn't get nearly enough credit. 3:10 He recognized there was at least a chance Sean was pulling off a brilliant bluff when literally nobody else even had an inkling. Plus his deadpan "Yeah, I can't wait to win this carrot" was great.
Coming back to this after the news today. Man, Sean was so fucking good. We’re gonna miss you. RIP
I don't know how they carried on after that. I would've just declared maximum peak comedy and packed it in for the night
I agree. Jimmy is almost crying.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV. You'll be sadly missed. RIP Sean Lock.
This has somehow gotten even funnier knowing that Sean was on board with it from the start while Jimmy and Jon didn't want to do it. Incredible.
Sean's humility is evident when he smiles and shakes his head when Jon says, 'If there is not a carrot in that box, you are a genius'. Brilliant timing, hilarious wit, a lovely, brave man who carried on knowing he was dying. We won't see his like again. Rest in peace, and thanks for the laughs
That's my favorite part. There are so many parts earlier (like reaching in to fake grab) that sell the bluff. He'd already won when Jon said that. But he was able to completely play it off knowing it would be so much funnier to make it to the big reveal. That's a true talent
Absolutely unbelievable loss today. We had the pleasure of seeing Sean live a couple of years ago. Hilariously funny, he had us all in stitches from the minute he walked out on stage. What a huge comedian shaped hole he's left us with.
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.
I think he convinced the whole nation.

R.I.P Sean Lock, one of the funniest people ever in comedy
Sean Lock was an absolute comedic genius and I really, really miss him. Thank god we have all these recordings of his work.
The genius of Sean Lock.
The hand in the box sold the whole idea that Sean had the carrot...
I'd really like to see now how he would've played it out if there actually was a carrot in his box
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 th-cam.com/video/7USlIrLQ7Dw/w-d-xo.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.
Every so often I think about this and come back to watch it. What a genius Sean Lock was
As epitaphs to comedy greatness go, this little piece of genius sums it up; his quick wit, his comic timing and his razor-sharp intelligence. RIP Sean Lock.
I can't believe he's gone. He was so full of life.
One of the great comedy performances in history. Rest in peace mate, you've earned it.
RIP Sean. So much laughter and joy you brought to the world. I've lost count of the times I've rewatched these clips and enjoy them more and more.
I'm just gonna say that in the event that humanity perishes and this clip is the only proof of our existence to a futuristic alien race then I would not mind one bit.
What a legend. RIP Sean Lock.
If ever I need cheering up, this does it no matter how many times I watch it. Pure genius. What a great loss to us all. Miss you Sean
RIP Sean Lock, what a sad day. We should all cherish the comedic brilliance captured on video for us to all enjoy for years to come.
Here's a little lesson in trickery
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.
It's when he twirls his imaginary moustache at the end. RIP you legend.
I have watched this clip about 15 times over the past 3 years. When I read that Sean had passed I genuinely felt deflated. He really was brilliant.
It’s funnier when you realize it was actually Sean in the writing room that fought for this game to be played
What a legend. The world will miss him, so so good! Sean Lock the best to ever to do it like him
First time I'm watching this with tears of sadness rather than joy. I'm devastated. Sean, you will always be a legendary comedian and, more importantly, THE Carrot in a Box champion. What an incredible talent. He'll be hugely missed.
These three guys together were a dream team and Sean was pure magic. Losing him hurts. R.I.P. Sean
A moment as iconic and genius as the man himself. Still can't believe it.
RIP Sean - Thanks for all the laughs ❤️
He’ll be taking the piss out of us upset over him up there 😂
RIP Sean, thanks for the laughs ❤️
RIP Sean. Comedy is better for having you. One of the funniest blokes I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Rest well
I mean this with the greatest respect, if Sean is buried in a coffin it would only be right that a carrot is in there with him too. RIP Sean Lock.
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.
Jon knows when to play the straight man, and did it perfectly here.
How dare you. Jon could never play the straight man.
I have seen you comment this before. Get a life
@@AJ-cv9zf ?
Couldn't agree more. Whether or not he actually fell for it is besides the point. It's brilliant TV
Sean was my favourite on the show alongside John. I’ve rewatched this clip several times and there’s something really magical about it. Sean, has literally got me through some dark times since he always puts a smile on my face. Even after his passing, he’s still doing it and I will continue to watch his clips when I’m feeling down. I thank God for Sean, and wish his family all the best during this extremely difficult time.
RIP Sean. This might be one of the greatest bluffs I've ever seen.
I've heard rumours of this event for so long. Finally I have witnessed this historical moment.
Saw the news and came here immediately. RIP Sean, your dry humour was as English as it gets
Had to come here after hearing about his passing . Legend absolute legend R.I.P .
This is seriously one of the greatest pieces of comedy. It's Sean Lock's legacy. I think it'll be remembered as one of the greats.
As someone living miles away Sean Lock was my instant favourite when I started watching the TH-cam clips of this show for hours. All I wanted was to meet him personally once. Some dreams never come true. Rest in peace, wherever you are. Thank you for making us laugh in both life and death.
This game was epic, but the rematch was even better. Sean Lock is a Master.
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.
So sad to hear the news of his death. Sean, you brought so much laughter and happiness into my life. Truly one of the greatest comedians to ever live. RIP :(
He was actually the best part of the show, rip Sean Lock, you will be missed
"Can I just say at this point if there is no carrot in that box, you are a genius"
Never a truer word spoken
Every Christmas I think about playing this, and every year I just think it would never be as good as this moment.
This will forever be the funniest 4 minutes of his life! May his neighbours respect him, trouble neglect him, angels protect him and let heaven accept him! R.I.P Big fella!💙
Came back here when I heard the news, one of my favourite clips from any panel show, has me in stitches every time. RIP Sean, you'll be sorely missed 😭
Once a year, I have to come in and watch this. RIP Sean.
So you watched it 3 times, ok.
I discovered 8/10 cats on YT about 8yrs ago! Always thought Shawn was brilliant. I post this clip n send it to friends every year for Christmas since 2yrs b4 his passing. RIP Kind sir from across the pond, what a beautiful mind n soul!
RIP Sean, legendary in every sense of the word
One of the greatest hustles ive ever seen
You have to watch this a couple of times to appreciate how GENIUS Sean is
Sean was a GENIUS. His ability to completely own a situation so effortlessly is second to none.
The genius bluffing skills Sean displays here are IMO unmatched! Everything matches the idea he has the carrot; the reaching in, the overwhelm by the stupidity of the game, the uncontrollable laughter, and his intonation at the question whether he wants to keep the box or not! Even Jimmy was convinced he had the carrot and so was everyone else! Amazing stuff and the release when everyone found out he had them all fooled was almost palpable! So good!! Thank you Sean for sharing your sense of humor with the rest of the world! I bet heaven is a freaking riot ever since you passed! Thanks mate!!
Rip Sean Lock, one the best comedians I've had the joy of seeing live
RIP to one of the funniest and most gentle caring men on t.v.. I absolutely loved watching him on 8 out of 10 cats . Truly going to be missed by friends, family and fans around the world .
One of the funniest moments on this show, I was in stitches
came here after his passing, and he's ended up leaving me in tears from laughing so hard. RIP, truly one of a kind
Every single line delivered perfectly at the perfect time, judging the reaction of people involved . Genius .
