Im actually so glad that Nigel Ng has finally gotten some proper tv work from the power of the internet and an egg fried rice video. i am loving that he is riding this wave to its full extent because thats what he needs to do - he has probably been trying for years to "make it" as a comedian and hes getting it! you go Nigel!

Very glad Nigel has been able to break into the UK comedian mainstream. Also a good thing that the UK has a good variety of comedy shows for comedians: Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You, etc etc
@@natsymons7957 was good of him to step in and save the blow up doll joke for him after the other shut it down. Honestly though the banter is what made this show entertaining instead of “ok thats your 7 seconds, on to the next joke”
@@ethanquirk28 yeah iirc Jo Brand doesn't do the show anymore because it felt too competitive, trying to get your "7 seconds" in, as you put it. I find the banter is best when they get comedians who know eachother from outside of the panel tv scene (eg. Rob Beckett and Tom Allen have some great banter bc they went to school together, Ed Byrne and Dara were best men at eachothers' weddings, Ed Gamble and James Acaster did a foodie show together) but then that makes it even harder for a newcomer to get a word in. It's tricky to get a whole panel that'll mesh well.
@@natsymons7957 still though, I think the individual comic’s humour plays a big part too. He seemed to be skirting around everyone else trying to get more adult or edgy forms of humour through but the others outside of Dara weren’t having it because its not their style. I think if he was on the show with the likes of Russel Howard, Frankie Boyle and Jon Richardson there’d be enough banter around similar levels of comedy with a better dynamic of personalities for everyone to riff off too. Especially since when they were on the show back in the old days it did very much seem to be a conversation where everyone was welcome to build off each others jokes instead of what it is now which seems more of a who can compete to be the one who gets the laugh track with their own one liner kind of vibe
For me, Rhys was always better than Ed until the last series. Ed really stepped up his game all round about a year ago with MtW 18, Taskmaster etc. Weirdly proud of him
@@michaelanderson5747 If you entered Dara's head in to a county fair melon growing competition, he'd be disqualified. Not because his head isn't a melon, but because they'd suspect him of cheating.
He really held his own against some very seasoned comedians. Especially Hugh and Tom. I was delighted to see him on the show and see how well he performed. I bet that he was nervous as hell.
@@arissyazwanaman3211 yeah Malaysian comedy and soh is miles away from the UKs and it takes anyone , even from a similar country to feel the pulse of another country and what they find acceptable and funny in comedy
Unlikely Lines From a Sci-Fi Movie: "Professor, come look at this! Someone on Mock the Week just made a MegaBus joke that *didn't* target Dara O'Briain!"
a long time ago when my arm of the galaxy swept past, I subscribed to a channel that brought many hours of pleasurable viewing, I'm so Happy I Did. Way Back Then..... Thanks for all the Fun !!
I seem to see you comment on nearly every comedy panel show on YT vid I watch. One day I'll manage to see something before you :) till then take it easy mate.
Dara: What did Boris Johnson threaten to pull out of? Rhys: Was it no woman he's ever been in? (a couple seconds later) Rhys: Are there more than 8? Me: Women? Dara: Zoom.
*Mock the Week* (Series 19, Episode 1; Oct 22, 2020) Presenter: Dara O Briain Team 1: Rhys James (team captain), Athena Kugblenu, Tom Allen. Team 2: Angela Barnes, Hugh Dennis (team captain), Nigel Ng.
i love this show, i haven't been able to find the show on any streaming services, so i haven't watched it in ages, but thanks to your re-uploads, i have managed to make a playlist with all the full length episodes included in it, and now i can watch them anytime, so thank you for these, i appreciate it.
Hooray! I've missed this show. So happy to hear them talk about actual current events instead of stuff from 10 years ago (had to watch older and older episodes while I waited). Will you be posting these every Thursday?
Hugh in glasses can be my daddy... I'm confused though, I thought they were reading glasses because I've only seen him put them on to look at something on the desk or such, but here he put them on to see the audience
Randall Trussell - My son went to the taping of a show once - went on for a couple of hours so have to cut. I guess the fact they can even get a show out at the moment is pretty cool.
Dara just awards points randomly to denote the end of a section and there is no actual winner. The points and the victory are holdover from back in season 1
BBC have been criticized for being too left wing, so they're trying to crack down on they're left wing bias....so every Trump joke will be balanced by a Biden joke....
@@JoeScottish I don't think they know who Joe Biden is. Like having an opinion on Jack In the Box vs Wimpy's if you're American. I can't have an opinion on something if I don't know what it is. They definitely know about Trump, even if he wasn't president. If British people know anything about Biden it was when he plagerized Neil Kinnock's speech and refused to admit it.
Who would have thought complaining about a BBC video on egg fried rice would lead to numerous TV gigs in the UK? I bet he had msg in his back pocket, just in case
When they said Nigel had to talk about food, I just knew he'd start with rice and ricecooker. He even ranted about colanders (poor Auntie Hersha must be watching and rolling her eyes.) I'm just disappointed he didn't enumerate the various benefits of ajinomoto
Well with lockdown and no actual audience they gotta improvise otherwise itd be awkward as hell. Still, it is kinda annoying they used the same couple of audios.
Who else saw Uncle Roger / Nigel Ng in the thumbnail and clicked immediately?
Me
yeah same here, first time watching the show, because of him

Im actually so glad that Nigel Ng has finally gotten some proper tv work from the power of the internet and an egg fried rice video. i am loving that he is riding this wave to its full extent because thats what he needs to do - he has probably been trying for years to "make it" as a comedian and hes getting it! you go Nigel!
He's no doubt on because of his recent TH-cam fame, but he has been on Mock The Week before
Which is why it's so surprising he went for the rice rant as his stand-up section. You'd think he'd want to show something totally new
The man is funny, and is carving space for himself among the legends which is awesome to see ^^
Well one of the potential issues with being a comedian could be when you are not actually funny so you have to resort to being a racist stereotype.
It was horrifically unfunny though, rice haha.
I cant believe I wayched this whole show
Just because Uncle Roger was in it
me too
If I had realized who it was before I watched the episode, I wouldn't have watched the episode.
you guys must be ultra fans :)) you guys realize those other people are comedians too.
And who knew he would be the polite one that hardly got a word in.
I'm 40 years old and that's the reason I am here too! 😂😂😂
Cool they got Uncle Roger.
I can't believe he actually did a rice stand up xD
I got confused when he started saying uncle alot but didn't say uncle roger 😂
Hiiiyaaa
Dude is awesome 😂
And the first thing he mentioned is condoms 🤣
Finally a Malaysian comedian with a proper manglish accent
Only the rich has this accent
The word Manglish is so satisfying to say. Manglish.
@@weldon29 what do u mean tho, I have that accent and I'm certainly not rich
@@weldon29 what are u on about bro? are u a malaysian? do u speak english? even if u dont know how to speak malay you'll automatically have this accent if u were ever raised in malaysia

99% of the viewers literally just came for Nigel, someone should tell Uncle Roger how famous his nephew is
I love Mock The Week, so I came because I saw there was a new season of it, but I love Nigel Ng too. :D
Never clicked so fast, mock the week is back, that audience is surprisingly receptive for being sparse.....plus Uncle Roger!!
Didn't notice the laughter track then?
@@RealIllumin aww is it? That's a shame. I can't watch most US sitcoms because of the ridiculous ott tracks they use... Thank god for Arrested Development
@@xxPenjoxx There was probably a few laughs, but most of it is clearly dubbed over.

I live on the PanelShow subreddit.
nigel: "Luke, I am not your father, but I can be your daddy"
camera: close up on tom lmao
Sorwy children
I noticed that the host, Dara Ó Briain, was always helping Nigel to develop them afterwards with a followup and thus make them funnier. Very cool!
They've made jokes before about Dara being a "joke surfer" where he rides the wave of other people's jokes! Imo the chat is what makes him a good host

Yes, and I immediately flashed back to all those "Dara has a large head" jokes from some years ago!
He has a huge mellon.

Yeah, I missed the panelists too. Too distracted by the covid measures.
Same here.
Whoever made them is a legend
I am so anxious for Nigel to perform well that I am hardly ever laughing.
He really held his own against some very seasoned comedians. Especially Hugh and Tom. I was delighted to see him on the show and see how well he performed. I bet that he was nervous as hell.
@@davevanvlerah5167 yeah i can really see that he was trying his best to fit in the crowds of veteran british comedians, since he's asian.

Nah, that's just the effect of Mock the Week tbf.
@@satah5045 yeah ikr I think he missed the mark a bit when he made the Biden joke lol
Haven't laughed so hard in ages. Welcome back Mock The Week, you have been sorely missed.
Unlikely Lines From a Sci-Fi Movie:

Ha! We've been locked down in Malaysia since March and yesterday I bought a rice cooker 😁
A chinese guy to cook rice for ya?? Hahaha
COMMERCIALS THAT NEVER MADE IT TO AIR:
"Uncle Roger's Egg Fried Rice... because I want to take down Uncle Ben's empire."

I'm not religious, but *BLESS YOU* so much for sharing this! Love Mock The Week, I've missed it so much! Thank you!
You don't have to b religious to say bless you. It's a common phrase.
You don't have to police how other people characterize their word choice. They have different meanings to different people.
The moment they noticed the dude working on the show on zoom was priceless!
i have never needed a show to return so badly! thanks for uploading 💖
LMAO Hugh's Ryanair joke, when he had to explain it xD I laughed out loud xD
Thank you!! You made my day, I was like, wait, is that Nigel Ng? New Mock The Week? Well, this just became a good day.
I thought this was because I followed Nigel NG, so happy to see a new series!! ❤️
Rye and Air
God I missed this show 😂 😂 😂 😂
That's on par with amble in/Anne Boleyn joke.
Oh, I just got the joke !!
I just got it. Rye and air.
So happy to see Nigel Ng being appreciated
Wonder who Ng was referring to when he said stuff about how rice gets cooked here?
I was immediately taken back to Uncle Roger reacting to Jamie Oliver. He also always criticises usinv collander to drain rice.
Auntie Hersha

One guy laughing in the audience sounds like a broken starter motor
Glad it's not just me who noticed that.
Yeah, my left ear will never unhear that...
Never been more obvious they're replaying the same laugh track.
That’s putting it kindly
I thinks it's just a guy with a really shitty microphone on zoom.
"They will get the jokes maybe thirty seconds after we make them because of their dodgy WiFi" I'm dead x'D
I liked the phone/rice bit. Proud of our Uncle Roger 🧏
Look kids, there's even a new Uncle Roger emoji 🙋
This group always provided witty and relevant points in every topic. Great episode!
I watched this just because of Uncle Roger!
Uncle Roger is why I click
Dara: What did Boris Johnson threaten to pull out of?
Rhys: Was it no woman he's ever been in?
(a couple seconds later) Rhys: Are there more than 8?
Me: Women?
Dara: Zoom.
I can't believe it! Uncle Roger in my favourite show😭 happy tears.

How much of the show is cut out??? The only points I heard being awarded were to Tom's side, yet Hugh's side won. I don't get it.
Exactly! I was wondering the same thing.
