"David and Richard what happened?" "They're gone. They're all gone. And we're back." "Who's we?" "The incredibly smug nerds who unaccountably get sports questions right"
She can see -- just not very well. It's one of the common misconceptions about visual handicap -- that we can't see anything. Most "blind" people can actually see /some/. It's just "very blurry"...
I was at a seminar where we got goggles to simulate what it would be like to have 10% vision. I had a student at the time with similar visual imparement. Blew my mind how she would write and read with the same books as everyone else while seeing so little. It must have taken so much time and effort, not to mention patience. Brilliant little girl.
@@robertofontiglia4148 I had a friend in high school who was visually handicapped, but still had some vision, like you're saying. I remember asking her once whether it was a matter of things being blurry or things being, like, darker than a personal with full vision. She shrugged and was like, "I don't know. I don't know what it's like to have normal vision." And then just turned back to her book, lol.
Oh man, I had forgotten how horrible the Spice Girl was in this episode. Credit to Mickey and Jimmy, they tried their best to carry her, but she was determined to suck the energy out of the room.
Man I think I remember watching an episode with her in it, and she was soooo unfunny. Like not only was she not funny, she didn’t laugh or smile once at the other comedians jokes as if she was not smiling to spite them for getting laughs and she didn’t. Fuck 0/10 would not recommend watching Mel B
@@Arikayx13 I was at that taping in 2014 and can confirm. If you look at some other clips, you'll notice Richard looking more uncomfortable than usual when she talks; mostly where they cut around her bullying.
Mel B.: "Well, I think up north there's, like, rumours that go around about what happens to sheep... that get looked after by their sheep looker-afterer." Jimmy: "I think 'shepherd' is the term that we're using in English."
The ear bite story sounded familiar, it was covered in the US pretty widely lol. There's actually two ear biting stories, BOTH from the world cup 2014, BOTH involving Suarez. One was a racist english fan biting another's ear off in the stands during the England v Uruguay game. The other was on a radio show taking place during the world cup, in which a caller tried to explain Suarez's biting habit, admitting that he had bitten part of someone's ear off during a past fight. I think they can be forgiven for mixing up the stories
To be completely honest about the visually impaired Ski Paralympion, Downhill Skiing while not really being able to see sounds like the most death defying thing ever it sounds like going skydiving blindfolded and just trusting that your coach doesn't miss judge when to open your parachute
9:50, clearly he doesn't know that the NBA (basically the Mecca of basketball) is played indoors from October through to April, making it a winter sport in my mind 😄
They knew she was there and they were trying to take a selfie with the Queen in the background. They just didn't count on her turning around, noticing and smiling.
"Global headlines" about the Commonwealth Games. Sure, Jimmy. Whatever that is, it's clearly limited to the Commonwealth, and if it's hockey, it's really just Canada. Nobody else cares.
I remember being a kid and thinking boxing was a stupid activity not worth of being called a sport (I was a chubby nerdy girl, btw) but one day there was a big match so I decided to give it a go. It was the one where Tyson bit his opponent's ear, and he definitely proved my point. It was the first and last match I've ever seen.
You should watch Leonard/Hagler they say it’s easier to appreciate a sport if you try it to see how difficult it is to do Like most things you can see it a stupid thing OR a vessel to explore our limits. It’s up to you
Great show and David with Richard make a very entertaining team! But also this is one of the saddest and most worrying TH-cam videos. "Unbelievable year for sports", "most tweets" together with a word "amazing" and also number of tweets... Said by someone who earned millions by kicking inflated rubber ball?.. Kids, if your teacher ever tells you to read a book or learn something just laugh at them and go outside to kick that ball instead!
It's the sports round, it makes sense for sports to be the focus. Sports are a form of entertainment first and foremost, so it's only reasonable that an event with lots of social media coverage would be considered "notable".
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?
Thing about Arsenal is they always try and walk it in
They’re having a laugh.
IT Crowd
I need the pronunciation guide.
David and Richard. Absolute legends together . The best ! Go Global Issues !!
Rough choice of words, considering
Just found out that Richard Ayoade, David Mitchell and John Oliver were friends at university!
All my crushes together!
I love how awkward David and Richard look when they get it right lol
Because they're ready to argue against whatever Jimmy throws at them. And suddenly agreeing on something is weird for them.
I like how respectful Jimmy is towards the Olympian’s, even when she says it might sound cheesy (which it didn’t obviously). And rightly so.
He always plays the dick but he does know what is right and wrong and when to be respectful. And damn, major respect for the lady. Going down the slope at high speed being visually impaired. My hat off to you.

It's not fair to say David doesn't know anything about sport, he's made his thoughts about Tim Henman pretty clear
He could almost play it professionally
Ooooh
That was clearly jealousy over Victoria calling him for crossword help.
He has said before that he does like sport, just that football is not one of them.
@@kisbie Yeah, his Wikipedia stated that he's a massive fan of cricket

The problem with arsenal is that they always try to walk it in.
Respect to the women who races down a mountainside 70 miles pr. hour, who can't see a bloody thing!
six minutes, not only did they get it, but no one else did, that is even MORE impressive.
I think the Paralympics is great; these people are single-handedly improving the integrity of sport in our nation.
That’s not true - some of them have no hands at all

I think most of the points were from david, well ofc he is very knowledgeable man
And an honorable man as well!
Richard Mitchell and David Ayoade
Mel B.: "Well, I think up north there's, like, rumours that go around about what happens to sheep... that get looked after by their sheep looker-afterer."
Jimmy: "I think 'shepherd' is the term that we're using in English."
Thanks for recapping that part of the video we just watched.
I literally zoned out when Jimmie Carr was asking the question until he said Abu Dabi. The explanation helped
'Play the right clip!'
I am both David and Richard in my head.
ok that was actually hilarious Mike. nice one
As a child i thought basketball should be jn the winter olympics because the nba runs during the winter
"The first ever gold medal winners.."? What were they competing for at the winter paralympics before then..?
Toblerone of varying sizes.
They changed to medals after the "toblerone rolo combo" incident.
Edgar Winter looks good here.

Well Jimmy certainly didn't know about that, and had to go and mock them on top
I didn’t think what I needed today was Mel B explaining what happens w shepherds and sheep up North, but it’s absolutely done the job 😂🤣☠️
To be completely honest about the visually impaired Ski Paralympion, Downhill Skiing while not really being able to see sounds like the most death defying thing ever
it sounds like going skydiving blindfolded and just trusting that your coach doesn't miss judge when to open your parachute
Which year was this?
That farmer is from a place where the girls are good and the sheep are bhhhhaaaaaaadddddd
Maybe the girls took the picture because they saw her/ The Queen ... Come on peeps!! Oo
2nd F1 championship hey

What was the year of this one??
A very young Rio!😂

Sport.
I thought all sheep had spots and stripes.
Quit macro dosing lsd?😁
Mel should just add a T to the end of her name and be done with it
someone bit an ear
I cant believe bobsled wasn’t mentioned once
Bobsled is outdoors though
Speed skating? He might as well have been speed dating
& they shouldn't for at least half a pint forthe first q
Nothing against her but I don't really see why Mel B was on this, she's just not the right fit at all and you wouldn't expect her to be

Not all visual impairedness is equal, you can be visually impaired and still be able to read up close!
Maybe she's just excessively near-sighted. Maybe she can actually make out the ink molecules on the card
David doesn't hate sport, he's just an intelligent man so he doesn't like soccer.
