If you tell a bad or confusing joke and the table nearby has two comics who were members of the Cambridge Footlights, get ready for some hardcore pedantics.

Other notable members you should have heard of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (president), Emma Thompson, Douglas Adams (president), John Oliver, Olivia Coleman, Robert Webb (David's former comedy partner), David Badiel (Frank's former comedy partner). Unless I am mistaken, Jimmy was _not_ a member though he did matriculate from Cambridge. Ps: Carol Vorderman also went to Cambridge.

Great clip. But I wish these were posted with the original airing date in the info. Edit: as has been pointed out, aparently I just missed the 'read more' bit in the description 🤦♀️
@@interestedbystander196those are a screens. Jimmy literally reads answers from them each time and sometimes he has to squint his eyes when answers are written poorly.
But what did the E.R. episode have to do with an episode titled "Ambush" that aired 1977? Unless Jimmy was saying 1997. That would make more sense, wouldn't it? ANSWER: E.R. Season 4 Episode 1 for "AMBUSH".
Thank you. I was really pining for a bit virtue signalling and here you are just signalling your little heart out. Oh bless you and your underappreciated virtue.
@@Aoderic Can you imagine those two together on the same team on any panel or quiz show? The entertainment values and IQ ratings would go through the roof!
@@Milnoc They've also been on opposing teams (I think before they were a couple) which is quite fun! I think if you search "Lee Mack vs The Mitchells" you'll find it :)
In the Birmingham accent, ER sounds like "here you are", which is basically offering the thing it's written on. It's sort of the equivalent of having a tattoo saying "come and get it" on your nether regions
TH-cam is just such a massive waste of time nowadays. Way too many recent downloads of content from 15-20 years ago. It's almost as if they think your time is not in the least important.
The 'joke in Birmingham' bit is one of the funniest segments of the show.
Please explain the ER joke lol
@@SananabESU In a Birmingham accent, "ER" sounds like "Here (you) are".
entirely unprompted as well lol
pure majic
Absolutely lost it at "no, they just save it for the queen"
This show is funny because it reminds me of adults who’ve drunk too much eggnog bickering about the most random topics
Probably a fairly accurate description of what went on here 😄
Richard was right. Why would there be directions?
Tangent for any U.S. people not familiar with the slang, "pants" is what they call underwear.
Ayoade is a national treasure.
International treasure!! He’s my geek crush
Vorderman's knockers are a national treasure.

@@minicle426 I see what you did there 😂.
Richard and David completely destroying Frank's joke is hilarious... they mauled him.
David Mitchell's take on hospital related programmes, is exactly how I feel about them🤣
Absolute gold. That's the kind of situations where he's at his best.
Solid panel that year.
I love these clips and how you can instantly sate them by Jimmy's hair.

It was pure brilliance how both of em jumped on it at record speed 😂

LOL! This show is a good example of why channel 4 exists!
Who is that smiling person and what have they done to the real Richard Ayoade?
They all look so young!
Even Graham Norton
6:95 is so funny to me. It's Carol Vordermann's world, we're just living in it.
Y'all had your own version of friends, it was called Coupling.
Great clip. But I wish these were posted with the original airing date in the info. Edit: as has been pointed out, aparently I just missed the 'read more' bit in the description 🤦♀️
Click show more on the description. A special edition of the show, celebrating Channel 4's 25th anniversary, was broadcast on 2 November 2007.
They are go to their channel.
@@Maxx-yp2zd my bad, thank you very much! Completely missed that.
I won’t watch a big fat quiz without Richard…everyone else isn’t worth it
Richard needs someone else to bounce off of, he ain't a solo act.
He needs to be paired up with another decent comedian though.
@popburnsy3207 Noel for example?
Everybody looks so young.
Alan Carr amazing
We are old biscuits 😂
How many times are you guys going to reupload the same clips with slightly different titles?
Probably for as long as we keep clicking it, and I don't plan to stop.
What number are we up to now?
Would love to see Jimmy and Richard do stand up together there bothe funny as fuck! The banter between them is grate
11:49 the screen moves to the left and down
You thought those were actual screens, did you?
@@interestedbystander196 have you seen the side shots, or the many occasions where a contestant walks around to the front to look at it?

2007!
If someone ever reads this, which year is this? I’d wanna watch the whole show.
Click "read more" in the description It's 2007

@@NaveedHassan1 highly recommended to do that every so often 😋
Wait is that frank skinner in younger mode?
Nearly stopped waiting.
Fun fact: the wolf's favorite food is the potato!

loving the opening racism joke :')

Ayoade I feel so sorry for. His brother in law is the gold plated knob Lawerence Fox. Feel your pain, bro.
ate toast while watching this video
Richard just stole and talked over David's joke!
Hi please consider watching Fawlty towers or till death do us part , political correct they are not. Great show.
Why oh why, would the Bee Gees call Graham Norton, scum??
those sex in the city jokes aged well
Unlike the characters
What is wrong with the video quality??
this was filmed in like 2007
Is it me or has David Mitchell slimmed down since that broadcast?
After he got together with Victoria, he has slimmed down

It was amazing

They make fun of her a lot but Carol Vorderman is stunningly attractive.
At 13:35, who’s the woman on the wall over Carol’s right shoulder?
A young davina mccall
God carol is gorgeous
Such a beautiful woman! Never have I heard of this woman before.
Jimmy's pretty cocky to tear down others whilst looking like that
Rich boys all.
Except for carol they all have British teeth 🦷
She knew she had 0 arguments
pants.?.. underwear, panties, nickers.... coz pants are trousers, jeans, etc.
Well this didn’t age well
Can someone explain the ER/Birmingham joke to non-UK people???

@@psyraven76 fuck finally, thank you you God damn faceless figure from the internet!!! For like 2 years this has been burning in the back of me mind
No pointless box ticking guests. Just top comedy talent riffing
Jimmy Carr jokes do not age well...nor are they funny at the time. Love the panelists tho!
This did not age well, or travel well, or do well at the time.

AOYADE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO IF HE WAS INVITED.
@@QIKUGAMES-QIKU AND YOU AS WELL!
Spot on with Sarah Jessica Parker. Thought so since Footloose and Square Pegs.
think Carol's pay should be taken back due to practically undiscernible participation?
I can now understand why they upgraded from Carol.
