ok you Quizzlestick fans. It's me - contestant called Michael. Had been on a few real quizzes when I saw an ad in The Stage paper. I applied. I got on. I looked at the quizmaster who had appeared out of nowhere thinking 'I know that guy' . We weren't actors and poor Peter next to me really was 100% confuddled and thinking he was on a real quiz. I was about 80% hence the occasional smirks. Good fun though. Watched Adam and Joe's earlier series. so cannot believe i didn't twig who it was.
how could he forget to play his Green Quizle Chance, What a dope, he must be kicking himself now, haha! Good video, now to check out this Mitchell and Webs "Numberwang thing.....
Spot on. The fam has just tried to explain how The Chaser works. Still dont get it. Complex rules reminded me of Quizzlesticks and I had to search for show and found this. Thanks Adam!
Is this official Adam & Joe material being posted? It certainly looks like it from the closing credits. I'd rank Quizzlestick up there with Numberwang. In fact Quizzlestick is probably better as there are more crazy rules no one will ever understand with it. Before anyone else jumps in before me, I must say I must say 17 minus 2.4 and a half (as that is Numberwang).
This was just a single sketch they made for one episode, and wasn't even meant to be an idea stretched across an entire series. You can't compare the two, they're completely different despite similar appearance.
The green Quizzlechance isn't always the best choice. In this case, he would have lost his Quizzlemark option in the bonus round and -- oh, what the hell am I talking about?

numberwang is crap compared to this because no thought went into it, people just shout out numbers. love the sound of the dog being machinegunned too, hah
This is comedy gold. It is an outrage that 4 series of Adam and Joe was compressed into a 'best of' when the like of little britain's catchphrase comedy can spew out 3 fucking series.

I always thought you knew, but Peter does look like he is being too serious
Hi Michael. I've always wondered why didn't you play your green quizzlechance?
@@paddyeejit1954 Well, it is much harder than it looks at home.
I'll never understand why Michael didn't play his green quizzlechance. Absolute madness.
When will Adam and Joe get the credit they deserve for doing this long before Mitchel And Webb thought of 'Numberwang'?
4 legends of UK comedy.

@@Butterratbee the difference is Adam and Joe were actually funny.
I love the way the quiz host quickly jumps to "Good luck to you all" at 00:45 shortly after explaining some incomprehensible game rules.
Possibly the best thing about this is that the rules are so ludicrously complicated but the questions are ridiculously easy
This was made in 2001, pre-dating numberwang by at least 5 years (except when it's not a general knowledge question)
But at least 30 years after Mornington Crescent.
Possibly my favourite Adam and Joe sketch. Almost died with laughter when I saw this one.
"It's harder than it looks at home!"
That was a good line!
After all these years, this has remained criminally underrated. ...And that noise at 1:57 almost made me choke to death laughing.
Ahaa I know I love it when all the discs fall off
End of quiz sound - dog getting machine gunned. HAHAH!
I love this one so much. Any other sketch show would have done it every week but as a one off it was amazing!
overflowing with love for this vid. Geniusness.
"Can i ask you, why didn't you play your green quizzle chance?!" LOL
why can't we all just get along.We all love Adam and Joe that's all that matters!
"and that sound means its the quizzlestick secret swap around question" - f**king genius! Watched this at least 15 times now - no less funny each time
Even though the rules are ridiculously over complicated I wonder if they do actually make sense.
The main difference between this and numberwang is that this is funny.
hahaha, the look on that guys face...'i've no idea what just happened'. brilliant!
Oh man that is BRILLIANT! Can't stop laughing! Love the bit when the points swap around - wtf?!
Absolutely amazingly brilliant. I cried with laughter when I saw t this! CAdam Buxtons BUG is a great watch too!
so clear to follow. The contestant in the white looks genuinely confused at the end. Very funny clip. Thanx.
genius. the other gameshow piss-take they did, 200% is awesome as well. they were class acts. BRING BACK ADAM AND JOE!!
Those Quizzlestick graphics are hilarious!
"see you tomorrow" lol -imagine if it was on every day, in all the nursing homes, confusing everyone further!
Maybe when you reach a certain age all TV just looks like this anyway
hahaha i remember seeing this on TV. This is my favourite adam and joe sketch
Pisses all over Numberwang.
ANyone remember the "Anecdote" quiz show Adam and Joe did as well?
hahaha never fails to make me laugh - so straight forward
"aha, you could have won, it's a great shame."
Red things - Correct lol
hahahah "except when it's a general knowledge question"
This made my head hurt, but I love it.
Still better than half the quiz shows on daytime TV.
how could he forget to play his Green Quizle Chance, What a dope, he must be kicking himself now, haha!
Good video, now to check out this Mitchell and Webs "Numberwang thing.....
Ok, that was truly the most confusing quiz game erver known to man...Joe Cornish is a genius!
He likes a pasty
This beats Numberwang by several years!
Spot on. The fam has just tried to explain how The Chaser works. Still dont get it. Complex rules reminded me of Quizzlesticks and I had to search for show and found this. Thanks Adam!
too right. and we havent even got proper dvds of all the A&J series' in their entirety. for shame
totally agree again, best comedy sketch ever
Love it, think this is funnier than numberwang just due to the fact these contestants are real people and have no idea wtf is going on.
Shows been down the shitter ever since they banned black stick plays. Don't know why you'd even watch anymore.
"Tied"
Quizzlestick is a different idea to Numberwang. Quizzlestick has a berjillion rules, where as Numberwang has none at all. I think its ok to like both.
what a ditz, Micheal should have chosen to swap and play off his blue quizzel blocks
"you could have won" lol
i love the moment at 0:57
Haha I love this video, brings back memories!
i am in total awe.
better than numberwang, i dont know if joe did this in one take but the fella dont stop talkin!! its a comedy masterpiece
That was amazing!
Miles better than Numberwang
Haha yeh! Tbf I do love numberwang as well. Even just for the name!
I reckon i've got the hang of the Quizzlestick rules- where can i sign up to appear on the show?
I've always wondered, why didn't you play your green quizzle chance?
@46Frogfrog also, why in God's name didn't you play your green quizzle chance?
I'm impressed that you managed to switch your computer on. Well done.
I hate that Numberwang gets more attention than this.
Quizzlestick was a lot funnier.
Quizzlestick must be the UK version of Bamboozled.
This is where Jasper Carrot got the idea for Goldenballs!
Is this official Adam & Joe material being posted? It certainly looks like it from the closing credits.
I'd rank Quizzlestick up there with Numberwang. In fact Quizzlestick is probably better as there are more crazy rules no one will ever understand with it.
Before anyone else jumps in before me, I must say I must say 17 minus 2.4 and a half (as that is Numberwang).
lol if its much harder than it looks at home everyone is doomed lol
hehe i love this, so silly :0p
This is so confusing, this is awesome - but only if it's not a general knowledge question.
You’ve been bamboozled!
The Wheel has not been my friend tonight, Joey.
Steal your opponent's green blocks or sell your blue blocks for Quizzlestick Special Questions - which would you choose?
So was there a whole episode made of this or just this one round?
my head hurts.lol
let's just put this all behind us.
Damn, why didn't he play the 'Beat the buzzer bonus booster'!
numberwang my arse! this is pure genius! long live saint and greavesy
Agree 100%
This was just a single sketch they made for one episode, and wasn't even meant to be an idea stretched across an entire series. You can't compare the two, they're completely different despite similar appearance.
Is it true that Goldenballs is based on this !?
*head explodes*
The green Quizzlechance isn't always the best choice. In this case, he would have lost his Quizzlemark option in the bonus round and -- oh, what the hell am I talking about?
Just coming!
Waaaaaayyyyy before Numberwag! :)
yep - I'm Michael. A slighter heavier and greyer version these days.
Andy Warhol was wrong by 12minutes and 28 seconds. :)

gg
It makes you long for the days of simple, uncomplicated games -- like Fizzbin.
That's Numberwang! Rotate the board!
Classic
soo soo soo funny!
ahaha thats gotta be the most confusing game show ive ever seen
I think he was doing the ironing
tut it's a great shame he coulda won!!!
I always come back to this clip once everywhile cus it always puts a smile on my face!
numberwang is crap compared to this because no thought went into it, people just shout out numbers.
love the sound of the dog being machinegunned too, hah
I think i've just ruptured some thing inside me lol.
Numberwang?
this was way before mitcheel & webb adam and joe are awesome i have there dvd's and they fucking rock!!!
This is comedy gold. It is an outrage that 4 series of Adam and Joe was compressed into a 'best of' when the like of little britain's catchphrase comedy can spew out 3 fucking series.
Mitchel and webb thought they could rip this off without anyone noticing
This is now the template for Britain's Covid-19 international travel regulations. 😟
Lol
Lol very funny
MUCH harder than it looks at home.
did I see those quizzlesticks get swapped around twice? @_@
Stephen?
I agree in a pontrpitonian sense, but, due to the fact that my antispections have been unqualifitied, I would have to disqualify my own point.
@DJEdSaunders ahh 2001, that's numberwang!
that hurt my brain
This reminds me more of Bamboozled from Friends than Numberwang tbh.
Simple, really.
coming!
