I cannot believe how pumped I got during the VAR, this game finally makes me understand what it feels like to be invested in a sport. When NMJ finally wraps up I will be bereft.
I'm still waiting for Key to open a game with "Penelope Pitstop - No more people." to then have a game with only animals, God, Nessie and other mythical beasts
I had a game like that with my brother, where we had rules out any human and non-human and then ruled out gods and then were left with weather phenomena (like storms that have names).
It's very difficult to explain to people who don't know this game, why I was yelling "BEN PLATT" at my screen at 3am. Also, wanted to add for Horne that one of the contestants on Taskmaster Norway actually drew a really good likeness of Asterix in the "make a picture by walking around this field with a gps tracker" task
The Deal. Historic. Iconic. Tactical? Tim knew he won the challenge, and managed to secure a win for the game instead of just burning the stock off Watto. Fantastic play.
Just to let all of you jockstraps behind the, your friend and mine, curtain - Key said in an interview that an old rule for the game is that the first category is always a woman. And to this day he always abides by that unwritten rule. Keep an ear out for it. Over.
To be fair, I hate rules like that when one person has a definite advantage. Lefy handers is fair, because thats public knowledge, but only Horne knows whats in Horne's head (and we're all the better for it)
@@JoQeZzZ I thought the Agatha Christie challenge was about knowing someone else with the name but you're right, that was about last names being first names

No worries lads it happens to the best of us. I remember that episode of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire that they all forgot to press record on. Shame because by all accounts it was a brilliant episode as well. I'm just worried about how it will affect any future play of "no more people that we've had before", but that's a problem for you lot to sort out.
Yeah, I think he'd have to walk. Not just Roman times, specifically 50BC, and Julius Caesar's in practically every book! (Someone tried to pull the old "fictional characters were never born" lark before, but it was a non-starter)
I mean, even having watched the replay I'd have said the point goes the other way... right? Their clarifying is all based on name-uniqueness not who the adjudicator is.
Still shocked that Haiminh has never been played. No more people who you wouldn’t have such a brilliant show without the work they do behind the scenes. 👋
Mr Horne looking like a stained glass window Saint, saying, “I’m wiping my nose on the rim of your frame”. Is possibly the crudest thing ever said while evoking religious imagery and one of the most daring forays in British comedy. Hats off to that.
@@oliversutton7592 Mark was feeling low but received an overwhelming outpouring of love on Twitter. It was joyous to see. Then two hundred acts of book buying kindness happened in honour of a kind and generous ATL Solid Gold Legend. Everyone felt much better after that. 😊
They could also have had quite a discussion if they dug down on Supermans name. For Clark Kent, you could say that it would be a forename as a surname. For Kal-El you could argue that it was double-barreled.
A fiddly question for those Above the Line, particularly Watto: was Adam *born* in the conventional way? He certainly lived and died before 1900, but was he born before that date or was he uniquely created by The Biggest Boi of them all? I.e. he had no mother, for starters… speaking of his family. Just curious if Watto’s category was actually valid? Of course, it’s all academic now. Or should I say plattademic? Great game!
Definitely a reasonable challenge, but not cut and dried - 'born' is in the same category as your friend and mine, 'job, ' as one of those words whose meaning changes game-to-game. You didn't ask, but my opinion is that Adam wasn't born pre-1900 because he's mythical, and in myth, time works differently; I don't think it makes sense to say Zeus was born pre-1900 either. But that's, to be fair, a very tedious challenge.
Well if some random person started waving their hands around my head I would probably start to emit a strange sound and thus I can at least admit to sharing certain characteristics with a theremin.
THANK YOU, I was scrolling btl and the fact that no one pointed that out led me to think that that’s the usual fork holding technique for brits above and below the line.
The ad that played at the start of this video was voiced by Tim Key for Prince's Tuna. Quite surreal but wonderful, just like I'm sure his book Chapters will be. My copy arrived today. 😊
Hang on - Christie isn’t an effectively unique surname though? Bridget Christie? Julie Christie? How has Horne not heard of either of them? Bridget won the Perrier! 🏆 EDIT: have realised now that the category that came up on the graphic was incorrect. He was eliminated on ‘No more surnames that can be first names’, rather than ‘no more effectively unique surnames’.
I'm glad someone else spotted this! And given the so-called VAR 'clarification', it seems Horne doesn't even need to have heard of them for it to be valid. WYTAI, this game was a sham from start to finish. Null and void, I say.
100% How will we know in future games if a name has been played before or not? Did they make a list of Names & Categories? (Didn't record it = there was no "Game 8") TODAY was Game 8 proper.
that's the car that hurts them though, the pit stop is just the pause for refuelling. also if you really didn't want to work, you could argue pit stop and pitstop are not the same spelling
I don't mind it but I feel a null and void would have sat better. That said if we start throwing in stuff like that then we'd still be in the first set!
I was watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony not long after watching this, released on the same day as said event, and thought. Why is NMJ not yet an Olympic sport?

Excellent, my weekly fix of watching Mark Watson eat his dinner.
I absolutely LOVE this comment!! (And my guess for tonight's dinner was curry, too.) :)
Every week he managed to do something that's really quite off putting
Hats off to Haiminh for the VAR sequence, I didn't mind it one bit.
Tim’s ability to look different yet the same every week is mesmerising
I thought Tim's appearance in the announcements was looking good! Really liked the new hairstyle and the flattering facial hair.
He's a master of disguise, when you stop and think about it.
"I'll tell you what though, they don't mind drawing him as an egg."

Oliver Platt is out there with a single tear running down his cheek after seeing this episode
Well played!
Ben platt too
Can't believe Watto apologised without a *bop bop* unicorn mug, I don't think he even felt sorry at all.
When you think about it, what's Watto got to apologise for, aside from being dreadful at "Small cup/Big cup & Dainty cup/Thick cup" last week
Watto with a mid game relocation before the first entry had even been given. A true master of mind games
Horne could kill a man and still get away with it by just singing the apology song
Especially if it was a duet with the Sorry Tiger
But he couldn't kill a woman because of woke culture and PC gone mad

Asterix is set in roman times right surely the character was born pre 1900

@@Thorpefan let's face it, Key might get away with that, but Watson's on his bike
Watto's cutlery holding skills made me chuckle
I think the introduction of VAR has helped. That was a howler, but we got to the right decision in the end.
Watson holds his fork like a thug, but, when you think about it, the nicest thug on the planet.

The intro graphic is so satisfying to watch because it also explains the rules of the game. It might be the best intro to any show ever?
Is this quite possibly the best lighting Watto has achieved?
He's dressed like tweetie pie, he talks like tweetie pie.

Unfortunate to miss an episode in the set but glad they got to play a game just for them again
This is quite difficult, really. There must have been someone taking minutes for game 8?! Is there nothing in Hansard?
I guess we just got our answer to the age old question: If a game is played but no one records it, are there any points?
I was today years old when I learned that Mary Mary Quite Contrary was related to Henry VIII.

My favourite British drama series!
I wouldn't mind Watto telling the full story of Adam and Eve interview-style like he briefly did in this video
Totally forgot that they'd clarified that rule, was certain that Watto had won it there. Brilliant play from Key.
I was wondering if anyone experienced that btl, I was sure Key had it
I thought exactly the same, it was an arms in the air at 20 to 11 from me.
Don't much like spoilers.
This is a true game for the ages. Historical.
Horne looks like Vincent Van Gogh given antidepressants
Truly a momentous game that will live in the history books.
Maybe they should retire the game numbered 8 in each set in memory of the lost game.

So glad I won that competition to appear on NMJ 9:50
It's telling that the least controversial of Key's wins this set is the one he brokered a hella dodgy deal way in his favor.

Shocking really that Horne hasn't heard of Gail Platt or indeed her son, named after the England footballer of course, David.
I think she’s the longest running character in Coronation St. but don’t quote me on that without googling it first and then crediting me
Oh, we're just going to let "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" fly? Is "The Piper's Son" the surname of "Tom, Tom, The Piper's Son?"
Surely she was Mary Tudor who someone wrote a couplet about her once
Horne looks like the Gorton’s fisherman
I would like to see one week ‘no more people we haven’t had before’
A remarkable finish - one sure to send waves throughout the entire professional game.
BTW, I think Horne should be deducted a game for bodging the recording.
Yeah it's video or it didn't happen
100%
How will we know in future games if a name has been played before or not?
Did they make a list of Names & Categories?
(Didn't record it = there was no "Game 8") TODAY was Game 8 proper.
"The Deal" is, _WYTAI_ , a great way to end an ambiguous game. I think an impartial judge could improve the quality of the games. Over.
I was pleased, I will say, to witness an objective interpretation of the terms, for once.
First instance of VAR in the game. I don't mind it.
If someone does compose that picture they need to try to arrange them to make them look like a unicorn mug.
WHAT. A. FINALE!!!
A rare sighting at the start of the famous key goatee, as mentioned repeatedly in "he used thought of a wife"
Arguably a pitstop could hurt someone either hurt their chances in a race or just hurt someone by driving into the engineers.
that's the car that hurts them though, the pit stop is just the pause for refuelling. also if you really didn't want to work, you could argue pit stop and pitstop are not the same spelling
Such a great game. The Deal rocks! WYTAI Thanks guys ⭐️❤️
The Deal seemed a bit unfair to Watson, but a Deal is a Deal so really can't be upset with the outcome.
I don't mind it but I feel a null and void would have sat better. That said if we start throwing in stuff like that then we'd still be in the first set!
12:22 Horne wasn't out on that category, he was out on no surnames that are also first names.
