Its 2:23am here in Scotland and I couldn't sleep, so I got up to have a snack, and I'm watching this now. Thanks Josh 😁 you're helping me deal with my insomnia.
Regular countdown is one of the longest running gameshows in the world. Its on during the daytime on week days so its audience is mainly retired people. Its the same as this but without the jokes and segments and instead just the word and number games where the contestants are usually very smart people. They are competing mainly for fun and for the ability to say theyve won as the prize is just a clock with countdown written on it (which is why they always have weird joke prizes on this version). A few years ago Channel4 did an event where they got a selection of their most popular shows and mixed up all the presenters. 8 out of 10 cats was given countdown as the show they would takeover for the day. It aired and was a HUGE hit. Like absolutely massive hit. So they decided to make it a full show and has been going for many years now and is actually now more well known than the original 8 out of 10 cats.
The 8 out of ten cats does countdown clips titles are usually based on the last clip in the video. It's so people are more likely to watch until the end to see what they clicked for.
Alan Carr's father would turn in his grave at that nipple joke LOL. Graham Carr was the manager of Northampton Town FC when Alan was young and he wanted his son to be macho and follow in his footsteps as a footballer (soccer player), forcing him to go training with the junior players at one point. By Alan's own admission, when he found out his son was effeminite, Carr Snr. wasn't too happy. Later on, His dad became manager of my home town club, Maidstone United. Carr proved to be a terrible manager and ended up getting the sack. Some time after this Alan did a gig in the town and got heckled and no laughs, following which he said Maidstone was a terrible place that he'd never return to. The last time I saw his face in the town was on the front of his autobiography, which a local book store was practically giving away in a deal because nobody was buying it. It would be fair to say his general popularity isn't shared in my local area!
Johnny Vegas's interview on the Jonathan Ross Show is brilliant - the one that he sings in - the male and female part. Celine Dion is the Green Room - you'd like it.
You need to watch Shooting Stars Series 4 Ep 2 with Jonny Vegas and Larry Hagman (AKA JR from Dallas). It’s such a weird but hilariously funny show and Larry clearly hasn’t ever watched it before.
@@AfterWorkReactions no point in watching countdown Josh, it's not funny. 8 outta 10 cats was quite good but this ' does countdown' show has been rinsed, drained and dragged out already
You could watch a full regular Countdown episode for more context on the rules, they're kind of difficult to explain through a comment. It is a show mainly for the elderly, they show it like mid-afternoon in the week so only pensioners and the unemployed really get to watch it. It's not a thrilling show but it's not terrible, they usually have comedians or celebrities on to tell anecdotes and you might learn some interesting words along the way.
Roisin Conaty moments from the show, "8 out of 10 cats does conaty-down" it's a 20 minute video , one of the funniest compilations of this show imo , do check it out
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown was the best thing to come out of Channel 4s 'Twisted Friday' (show casts switched programs for a day). This switch-up was SO funny they gave it its own series 😆 Regular Countdown is the sort of program you would have to sit and watch with your nan at 4 afternoon. Its been on for like 30 years. You should check out the best of Roisin Conaty on Cats does Countdown. She cracks me up and does so badly 🤣
If you do watch a full episode, make sure its "8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" and not just "Countdown". The normal version is quite dry but the Jimmy Carr version is the same thing but with comedians. Also if you ever watched Deadpool 2, at 1:22 that's Peter, the one ordinary guy that joins Deadpools X Force. He's an American comedian that lives in London.
Yeah Channel 4 do that with a lot of videos, they do just over 10 minute compilations from a show and the title is normally the last one in the compilation.
You should do more Taskmaster! But "Full Task" clips as opposed to "Best of" a particular comedian. A lot of the humor comes from how the different contestants' approaches compare to each other.
You should take a look at Armstrong and Miller, I recommend the British pilots, and the nude vets, which is hilariously choreographed. And maybe the cavemen 😄 Oh and Tom Allen's schoolteacher speech from Mock The Week 😂
Yeah 8 out of 10 cats and Countdown are two completely separate shows that were randomly put together for charity one year and only originally for one night. It’s now done 19 seasons as it was an immediate success.
You've got 10 more episodes of IT Crowd before you get to the Countdown episode, but really you might as well just skim through the Wikipedia article about it, I don't think you need to watch an actual episode of the original series!
I think they meant watch a full episode of 8 out of 10 cats version... so he gets the full feel of it. You'd have to hate him to suggest he watch Countdown. Lol
The full length programme is around 45 min I think,you need to watch a full episode,, it’s like a piss take spoof of the original ( daytime mild half hour words and numbers game without adult content very serious ) , the original numbers girl was carol vauderman ( often referred to in this version usually as a piss take) most of the guest comedians are pretty good in their own right , my favs are lee Mac ,Sean Locke, jimmy carr, Johnny Vegas, steven mangan ( check out green wing,one of the best most original British comedies ever made , unfortunately went a bit under the radar ) also check out some of the previously mentioned in their stand up format. I praise you for even trying to understand our humour when a lot is referential from a very long comedic past ( check out Shakespeare he had a few good one liners) you have already a heads up historically from watching the great Baird ( baldrik) from blackadder.🤪.
@@AfterWorkReactions Dont stop watching them they are really funny. Channel four has some great comedy shows here. Its just if you watch them to often its reused clips, you will usually find people complaining about such things on there youtube channel. Thanks for the videos you put out i really enjoy watching them. Scottish ones are my fave just cause im scottish, always funny the look on your face when your trying to understand what is being said. Dont worry we cant understand other scots either lol
The rules are fairly simple, they have to make the longest word possible with the letters and with the numbers they have to get as near to the number they are given with the numbers that were selected. Up to you if you want to watch an episode of countdown but maybe watch it in your own time rather make it a reaction as it won't be that entertaining.
You are correct, but with the numbers they can only use a number once, they dont have to use all of them, and can only use + - x =, no other calculations, if they cannot get the number then whoeve is closest wins if they can prove their workings 😊
@@tonysmyth4116 they cannot make anything up in the letters game as Suzy checks if it's a word, as for Rachel does she 'only' do the numbers for you ? 😜
Volume issue: you’re voice is really loud but the video you’re watching is really quiet. I have to turn it up so much to hear the video that your reaction is super loud. Please adjust.
It may be a bit long but this one is worth watching, unless it’s a ‘best of’ the title usually just refers to the last clip of the compilation th-cam.com/video/LItYnyVF-L4/w-d-xo.html
If I turn the audio up loud enough to hear what they are saying then your voice comes up and is way loud... sorry couldnt watch this one.. love your channel otherwise.

I do that too! It’s nice to know there’s something good to watch when that happens. Thanks J & T for your night care service 😘
Get any sleep yet pal?
@@gerrym.9354 yeah I managed a few hours since this comment 😅😆
Johnny Vegas is staggeringly funny! Love the 8 out of 10 cats and countdown clips.

"the guy's name with the big teeth"
I like how that's all you need to say for us to know exactly who you're on about.
Rob Becket, famous for eating apples through letterboxes :)
You should react to the EP of 8 out of 10 cats when Sean and all the guests roasted Jimmy for his tax evasion, its hilarious
It's weird to think that Johnny Vegas attended seminary school as he wanted to become a priest.
Yeah but then he didn't and he did a degree in pottery making instead which I think is even wilder.
@@dmc1605 'Its pottery, not porn!'
You need to watch Shooting Stars Series 4 Ep 2 with Jonny Vegas and Larry Hagman (AKA JR from Dallas). It’s such a weird but hilariously funny show and Larry clearly hasn’t ever watched it before.
New season of 8 out of 10 cats airs this Friday in the U.K. 😘
Thanks for the heads up!
Awesome =]
Aye, cheers for that info buddy. Never knew with everything that's going on just now, if they had already filmed a new series.
@AJ. Thank you so much 😊 I’ve just set it up to record!! Xx 😘
You should watch some of Romeshs stand up he's great.

Lovin your choice! Have you checked out Fry and Laurie yet!
This guy needs to check out Rhod Gilbert wither the candles story or my personal fav is the luggage at airport one.
Omg the million-candle watt torch had me literally breathless laughing 😂
Yeah Channel 4 do that with a lot of videos, they do just over 10 minute compilations from a show and the title is normally the last one in the compilation.
Nah they’ll say ‘best of...’ if it’s just on them
The label of these videos always reference the last gag. They usually show 8 or 9 gags, and they save the best for last

Your awesome like watch your videos keepupgood work buddy
Check out Ideal where Vegas plays the main character and The Last Leg which led to that legend of a man breaking the hosts of the program with a rant.
They always put the titled joke at the end so you end up watching it all
Jonny V is just amazing at making people laugh
The title usually refers to the LAST joke or bit on the clip, for some dumb reason.
Truth be told I like the misdirection of their titles, otherwise they’d have 50 odd videos all titled ‘Best Bits’
Rob Beckett the guy with the teeth 🦷🦷🦷🦷
So many great British accents

The volume is fine it's just that Josh's laugh is so loud and that's the best bit, lol.
Finish the Inbetweeners!
The people that told you to watch a regular countdown are definitely pulling your leg haha. It's pretty much the same without the comedy.
