I love Greg on every game show he's appeared on. He's priceless, and when he pretends being mad and stands up, making others intimidated - it's funny AF.
Love this clip, hate the title. It's a toss-up. Today I'm in the mood to downvote videos posted by people who are dishonest or show little regard for the content they post.
I love the panel comedy format, just giving comedians an excuse to bounce off each other and interact and make everything fun. Why don't we have that in the US? Also, Guz Khan cracks me up.
I think it's partially because we've put comedians into places of either obscurity or the same status as movie stars and no in between. In the UK, their celebrity status is something in the middle and we just don't have that. So shows like this sadly won't work here. At least we have TH-cam lol also, I think british style comedy lends itself to this format
Yeah I remember Chris Hardwick from The Nerdist in the US would always love our panel shows even 15 years ago, but tried in the US and it didn't work. I watched some attempts and I think because US comics are solely stand ups you have a very singular set of comedians who don't do banter as readily. Banter is part of every day British and Irish and Aussie communication so comedians from these places can switch to that for panel shows as well as do bits from stand up for panel shows. Also I think we're just a bit more 'silly' which is sometimes a bit gross and immature but it lends itself to panel shows and quizes and task shows. I think US comics are very serious about the business of comedy which lends itself well to podcasts and solo performance stand up. I also notice US stand up doesn't have many additional slide shows and things that are defo included by British comedians, especially at thr Edinburgh Fringe
In my mind I've always thought a big reason was how popular late night TV is here. That's where a celebrity goes to chat and be charming and tell an anecdote, and that's where a comedian goes to get noticed, so from the industry side there's not as much *promotional* benefit for setting up a panel show. I have no idea if that's true but that's what I imagine. We can also see there's a sort of competitiveness divide, too. When we do try stuff like this - @Midnight, the US season of Taskmaster, it ends up being less funny because people try too hard to win. I can't imagine we wouldn't be able to figure this out but it has at least so far been a problem. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me doesn't have this problem but it's not exactly a knee-slapper for other reasons. Also, Dropout/CollegeHumor is in the US and is now an entire streaming service that basically does two things: dungeons and dragons play sessions (ehh) and a bunch of British-style panel shows featuring mostly comedians as contestants (pretty good!).
@@NickHuntingtonKlein never really thought about it, but you're right. Dropout shows are kinda comedy panel-ish. Competing simply for laughs and to entertain
This sounds so different as a Canadian 😂. And even funnier. I've watched enough British TV to know what they probably mean by a cupboard in this story, but I still immediately get the image of someone stuffed in what _we_ would call a cupboard. Which is much smaller and therefore funnier.
@@rachelcookie321 Generally we'd call something you can walk into a closet - a cupboard is usually something small and higher up (like kitchen cupboards) and generally built-in. Kind of dependent on context too - a full-size storage space in a kitchen might be called a pantry instead of a closet. A hallway storage space for coats is always a closet. Further complicating things, in parts of the US and Canada they use the term cabinet almost exclusively for what I've described as cupboards (i.e. kitchen cabinets).
It’s nice to see we have an alternative to that dreadful adage: “If you can, do. If you can’t, teach. And if you can’t teach, a career in stand up comedy beckons.”
My very socialist Humanties teacher once locked a famous politician in the humanties cupboard when they were touring the school. It's definitely a valid teacher tactic I approve of.
@dogchaser520 It's a cupboard used by the Geography and History teachers to store stuff in. And I think it's perfectly humane as long as it's a right-wing politician... 😜
@MadeAnAccountOnlyToReplyToThis Wow, thanks for this valid and valuable insight. I'm totally gonna change my whole life and what I do/don't do based on this thing a complete stranger said.
@@reddragon9946was surprised at this, with Greg being an ex-teacher. UK secondary schools often have a teacher who is the lead on literacy (i.e. in charge of putting systems in place across the whole school to improve literacy), and these needn't be an English teacher (although often they are). Guz could have been that lead, or just someone who built the literacy systems of the school into his lessons very successfully, or there are other possible explanations. Hardly unbelievable given enough knowledge of UK schools
My old school in Cov had a huge fan heater in a walk in cupboard. Quite common for kids pencil cases, books, lunchboxes and even a few chairs etc thrown into these massive, unguarded fans - powerful enough for a single pencil to puncture the ceiling when ejected. Quite how no one ever got their hand rammed into the fan by some of the psychos I'll never know.
3:45 there is a zero percent chance she knows what that means. I've seen her programs, and you cannot convince me that when she did this show, she wasn't sitting there the whole time thinking, "what are these commoners on about?" For all the jokes about David being posh, they apply tenfold at a minimum to her.
I went to an engineering job interview once. Was a man from India on the board. As soon as we locked eyes, I saw he was full of demons. Somehow, he registered what I’d perceived and instantly disliked me as well. When I finished 2nd and did not get hired, I requested the notes. The other 4 interviewers gave me stellar marks, higher than any other of the 12 interviewees. The Indian man gave me a score less than half of any other. It was “beef on sight.”
I don’t understand what’s so hard to believe about Guz locking another teacher in a cupboard. Or why it would be a “health and safety risk” for other students. Does she think that schools don’t have any cupboards or doors with locks?
It's a composite subject made up of small parts of the "optional" subjects you could choose from, so if you choose not to take Religious Education, for example, the school will still have made you do some RE in the mandatory Humanities lessons. Of course, because it's made up of so many different subjects, you don't have time to learn anything of value in any one - so it's a complete waste of everyone's time.
I hated Greg on WILTY, there was always something unapetizing about his stories. But I cannot imagine a better Taskmaster than him. It seems to bring out his funniest side.
I love how quickly Greg goes from ‘you bastard’ to ‘ok that’s fair’ when Guz says it’s because the teacher snitched
Imagine being a school with both Guz & Greg teaching - a nightmare for staff but great for students 😅
I'd love to be at that school being in their classes just to watch whatever shenanigans both of them would get up to.

@@Britt-r3rSource: Everytime Greg was asked whether he was a good teacher.
You could throw in Romesh as well. There are a lot of teachers going into comedy it seems now.

You can see Greg nodding, “yep, that’s is true” through the explanation.
Let's hope he didn't teach English, saying that, eh?
Exactly. He’s not calling “calling him out” at all.
