Cheers ViVaHD. Every time I have the pleasure of viewing the unabridged editions, I can't understand why they don't broadcast the full episode in its full glory
There was an episode just a few weeks ago where it looked like Merton barely said a word in the regular program but a completely different story in the longer cut. TBH, that's why I tend to only watch the longer cuts now.
Blair House, also known as The President’s Guest House, has 35 bathrooms because it is a complex of four interconnected homes, used primarily to host visiting dignitaries and other guests of the President. With 14 bedrooms and numerous other rooms, including formal dining rooms, conference rooms, and more, the bathrooms ensure that all guests AND STAFF have ample facilities. Each guest room has its own full bathroom, providing privacy and convenience.
He comes off as mostly a dim tool on YBF but I suspected he had more depth. He adapts the same brand of comedy here to much higher brow fare and it works cleverly.
Couldn't disagree more. Find him utterly unfunny as a "comedian" and his childish jokes didn't fit to the programme at all. Here's hoping we never see him again, on this programme or anywhere else.
The episode really leaned on knowing who he is and what the style references are from, which made this one of the least understandable episodes in a while.
After Mitch McConnell has spent years making me despise turtles, it’s nice that Harry Hill can come along and remind me that I actually kinda like turtles.
It's an interesting contrast how This Morning reacted to the departure of Scofield compared to how this show responded to when Angus Deaton was booted out.
I feel like AI would be advanced to know that killing all humanity to make paper clips is a terrible business model, with human beings making up *at least* 80% of the customer base for paper clips.
If the instruction is "make as much money as possible making and selling paper clips" your argument would work, but if the instruction is just "make as many paper clips as possible" (and the AI has direct control of a bunch of robots) then it could end up killing all humanity. It's an extreme hypothetical trying to emphasise that computers will do what you tell them to do. Exactly what you tell them to do. Also I searched "paperclips" because I wasn't sure if it should have a space or not (both are correct but with a space seems more common) and the first result was Universal Paperclips - an idle game where you play as the AI in this scenario.
I remember there was a message board I used to frequent years ago where up popped this little mouse clicking-based game that caught on like wildfire for awhile, something about the number of times you clicked equaled paper clips being made. it went to insane lengths and like rummaging planets from alternate universes or something like that to continue the iron supply and making hundreds of trillions
Don't forget that American bathrooms don't always have baths. They call the toilet the restroom or the bathroom. And they describe bathrooms as baths, weirdly!
Good episode. Thanks. FYI to the non-Americans... We call any room with a toilet in it a "bathroom" (maybe a "half bath" if it's just a loo and a sink).
So, @Jane Ash, what do you call it when there's a toilet, a bidet and a sink? A " three-quarter bath "? Alternatively if there's no sink in there do you call it a " quarter-bath "? It's a bloody good job that I'm British and not 'posh' because where I come from we just refer to it as " the bog " and we don't call toilet paper that - we call it " bog-roll " instead.
@@beenaplumber8379 l've had a shower room plus a bathroom for years and both have toilets. House has been rented out a few times when living abroad and been advertised with that description. Edit. My sister has the same plus a bedroom Ensuite.
29:21 "Here he is. Or here she is. I'm not walking into that trap." first of all, missing out "they" is walking into the pitfall, and second, to use the term "trap" in relation to gender is too suspicious these days
!!! Much credit to Google !!! After hearing the young lady on Ian's team being introduced as (what sounded like) Zing Sing, I typed 'zing sing' into Google and it IMMEDIATELY listed the link to Zing Tsjeng's Wikipedia page at the top! Pretty good algorithms, I guess.
38:28 😂 Compare last week’s 80’s hit “Big in Japan” to this week’s “Massage in a brothel.” Washington Nationals ⚾️ : successor franchise to my hometown team, the Montreal Expos. We’re still bitter they left town. Love Jack sincerely laughing, belying his grumpy façade/persona. See also the occasional “In my pants” segments on “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue.”
09:05 Timberlands are crap boots. They’re cheap boots with a “brand” on them. They’re made in sweatshops in China, the Dominican Republic, Vietnam and Bangladesh. You want a real pair of boots it’s got to be something like Nick’s Boots (google them). If a pair of Timberland boots is “the best” he can afford given his PM salary, his personal wealth and his wife’s wealth he either is ignorant or not as wealthy as we think he is. Nick’s boot will outlast Timberland boots, they’re better made and a sound investment. It’s like the Terry Pratchett Sam Vimes boot theory of economics, only Sunak is the rich guy who has still picked the shitty boots.
It seems obvious that Sunak was buying for fashion, as previously mentioned, not quality/performance. I really enjoyed the initial comment about Sunak being dumb/broke though. I love a good "missed the point" monologue and occasionally do the same if it is a chance to talk about something I like or rarely get to talk about. My, aren't we tedious?!?
Evidence is the job of the barristers, not witnesses or even complainants, as Ian knows only too well. That Harry is a poor witness in no way mitigates the copious and damning evidence against the Mirror Group.
"I bet your dog Nellie is paying attention now" and the elongated reaction from the audience was epic. Scientific proof that most people have a dirty mind - they just vary in what speed it's working at.
I hope Zing Tsjeng is back on the show soon. Great insight and funny quips. Since this episode, I've watched some of her documentaries on TH-cam on the Vice network. Great journalism
27:00 i just hope that aliens who are cool enough to make it to earth are also cool enough not to kill us and also cool enough not to be turned away by an image of us as we are
The number of bathrooms is because of segregation .. separate bathroom for black maids ... it's the same in the pentagon ... segregation was common until the late 60s .
No, not really. That's true for the Pentagon because it's actually in Virginia, a state which did have segregation. Blair House is in DC proper; segregation was never law there. I'd guess the excessive number is due to other factors, such as the residents having "guest restrooms" for visitors and accommodating different bathroom preferences for international guests.
Theres a facility where you can make a clip...its often come up when ive been trying to do something else...couldnt tell you how I did it...a youth might know. 😂😂😂
I expect the reason there are so many bathrooms in Blair House is it was built during segregation. The Pentagon has the same issue. But hey, what do I know? I've lived in Little Rock for 40 years....
Don't get me wrong I like Harry in this capacity. *Cough* his show is terrible *Cough*... But when hes chilled out and not OTT hes funny. Still, I don't know why but I kept getting confused and thinking jack dee was the host... I seriously don't know why lol
If you pause this 2 secs in then Harry's end script is displayed on Screen complete with "APPLAUSE" so he knows when to stop stop talking & pause. The result is on here as well. Good old BBC incompetence.. BEST IN THE WORLD 🙂 Thanks for these vids.
umm, no. It would be there for the same purpose as when it says "LAUGHTER" after a bit, it's simply part of the closed captioning so those hearing impaired can know all the elements that are happening in the broadcast.

They do! BBC2, midweek some time 😊
Season 65 has been exceptional so far, and I've always been a fan.
Yeah, they've been on fire lately.
I remember Trump reading Yo semites' ! I appreciate the reminder from Paul. 😆
And again, thank you, ViVaHD!
Master of dead pan: Jack Dee.
I love how no one laughs harder, even when he is the butt of the joke, than Ian.
Long experience...
He is nothing if not polite!
ViVaHD, hero to Americans!
Hooray! Thanks from the US.
Zing Tsjeng is a nice surprise. I'm not familiar with her work, but she's sharp and funny. I hope she comes back.
In the edited version, she appeared knowledgeable but not funny. In the unedited version she was funnier.
@@shoredude2
I can see how that could happen.
I thought she was quite playful and held her own pretty well with actual comedians.

Thanks so much for the upload, much appreciated ❤
Thank you so much ViVa. You've kept me sane for years.
I am not sane, but I still thank you for the timely uploads. Very grateful!
Brilliant - I thought this show had disappeared. Thanks for posting. (NZ)
Thank you so much for uploading.
Jack Dee and Paul Merton are my dream team ...
they bounce off each other really well
Bill Bailey also makes a great host......
Harry Hill is awesome too
Not a HH fan but love BB on HIGNFY.
Thank you.
Thank you very much ❤
Thank you for posting this! Loved the shorter one and super looking forward to the extended version!
This is the extended version......
@@michaelcolbourn6719 sorry I should have worded that better. I meant that I was looking forward to this one being the extended one
@@chiaroscuroamore ah I got ya! No need to be sorry though :)
In Eamonn Holmes's case the GB in GBN stands for Gormless Bastard.
Ian has spent enough time in court to know you shouldn't show up without evidence.
And that the management of this is the whole job of barristers, not witnesses.
Thanks for the upload, ViVa. It seems like there's so much more in this version this week. Great stuff!
Great line up. Zing Tsjeng was very funny.
Thanks again
Thank you!
Thanks so much for posting
Just looking to see if this had been posted and I was just on time - thanks vivahd!
That was just fantastic!
Love Jack Dee's dry sardonic wit.
This episode's a classic. Hope Harry hosts more.
Wonderful

brilliant 😃
Thanks for the upload.
I enjoyed this latest episode of TV Burp.
Jack Dee not able to hold his laughter is never not going to be funny.
+1 - a few times on Shooting Stars where Vic did the "...with your face like...", too. When Jack laughs, everyone laughs.
He was tearing it up!
So I assume from the triple negative... he is funny? o_O

It implies you need to freshen up rather than trash it…😂
And if there is no actual bath tub but a walk-in shower it's a shower room😊
Edit: lf only the hand basin and toilet its called a WC, loo or toilet.
@@MPM6785ChitChat Only if there's no toilet. If it has a toilet, it's a bathroom.
