Probably not, since Sean was still alive when this was filmed. That's why they don't pay any kind of tribute to him - his illness was kept secret until he died.
Don't you love it when you guess a REALLY good word and you feel really proud of yourself for half a second but then you realize you've seen that episode before and you're just remembering it? 😅
I'd say on par... just very different so it's down to personal taste. For me, I preferred Sean, and I don't think there's a better fill in for him than Lee.
Maybe - but just remember it was Jon that had to make the choice each time as to whether or not to make the swap - that's the more difficult bit of the game
Jon is always the chooser...and what makes it funny is that his intelligence leads to him overthining the scenario. He will always be beaten by a good BS merchant like Sean or Lee...who are nowhere near as intelligent. Any other match up would result in far more equal wins v losses.
This doesn't feel right without Sean, but well, bluffed Lee 😂 Sean was a brilliant comedian I remember one episode they bought out a Hairless Cat (can't remember the cat breed) and Sean said "Is that a dog or a cat" 😂😂 never laughed so hard in my life
Can we just appreciate Jimmy and the physical comedy he does when the clock *ahem* counts down? I think he could do some more acting as he has really good comedic timing.
@@c1audius Lmao! Generally comes with the territory as a Stand Up comedian! 😂🤣 ... Especially given that most of his comedy is one liners, he's gotten brilliant at timing as a result! ☺️
Something interesting to note: When Lee shows Joe the box, it's a bit of a giveaway. Lee doesn't open the box fully and because of the way it's angled Joe can't actually see the bottom of the box entirely. If the carrot wasn't in Lee's box, Joe might have stood up to try and get better look at the inside of Lee's box. The only reason Joe would be satisfied with the little bit of the inside he did see is if he saw the top of the carrot in there.
Agreed, great word! I learned it from Tim Minchin, I believe it’s in “storm” that he refers to being alive as “this turgid existence” fckin love that guy
@36:09 - I so wanted one of them to do an epic solution of 100 + 75 = 175. Divide 6 by 2 (3) and add that to 9 x 8 (72) = 75. Subtract that 75 from initial 175 = 100 !!!
Lee putting his WILTY skills to good use here. Absolute waffling to make it sound as unlikely as possible while messing with Jon's head. Sliced carrot LMAO
Sean shows up in this video for the first time at 48:59, and has a couple of lines. Lee Macks only appearance is at the beginning. Roughly 8 minutes of either all together.
Wow these are some ridiculous moments. Especially where it just basically plays an entire episode where Jimmy doesn't really do anything out of te ordinary
I worked at our local police station here in country Victoria Australia, for many years. We have an infamous carrot story! I went to get my lunch out of the kitchen fridge and there was a carrot in a clear evidence bag, tagged by our CIB, sitting on a shelf. Now, the prequel to this is a woman claimed that she was SA in the public toilets at our Botanic gardens. She was taken up to the hospital where a carrot was removed. Yes folks, this is the carrot that was in our freaking food fridge!! Everyone cracked it, seeing this carrot in our fridge but it was left there as we had no other fridge. Turns out that the whole being attacked and SA in the toilets was false. She had been pleasuring herself with said carrot, it broke, she couldn’t get it out and made this entire false police report as she was too embarrassed to go to a Dr to have it removed. She was charged with making a False Report and the carrot, all shrivelled up, stayed in our fridge, however placed in a brown evidence bag do that we did not have to see it, until her court case was over. We still make carrot jokes in our family 30 years later 🤣🤣🤣
@36:53 Shouldn't Roisin technically got the answer wrong since the rules are "use only the four basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division" She done none of that so she should of got it wrong?
Carrot In A Box was a completely dumb idea that four great comedians (Jimmy, Sean, John, and now Lee) took and turned into gold. RIP Sean, you are missed.
Somewhere you just know that Sean is giving Lee two thumbs up and a nod of approval . R.I.P Sean Lock
Awesome, I don’t need to watch now because your comment tells me Lee got one over on John… cheers mate -Sean Lock
Hes probably thinking. Why are they still playing this damned game!
@@ThisZombieBitesEverything Your ADHD told you to scroll through the comments before watching the video, or you are unable to focus for more than a few seconds and couldn't resist scrolling down.
I think it’s more likely that he’s going ‘AAAAAAAH!’ 🖕🖕
I miss him too though. 😢
Probably not, since Sean was still alive when this was filmed. That's why they don't pay any kind of tribute to him - his illness was kept secret until he died.
I can imagine Sean looking down on Jon losing carrot in a box yet again, and smirking.
Jon: "This show hasn't evolved in 40 years"
Also Jon: gets electrocuted while pyrotechnics go off
Does that not happen in regular Countdown?

"...I dont see why you'd build a game out of deception," says Jon opposite Lee Mack, one of the men who built THE game based entirely on deception.
The fact that all these old clips include Sean Lock is a tribute to his brilliance. No-one compares. I hope his family are getting the royalties.
Sean was one of the few people that could consistently make me laugh!
Totally! Why did they get rid of him???
He died.
I missed his gig as I was in hospital and had to give the tickets away. Heartbreaking...
@@trishwoodward2716 i suppose that is a reason you cant argue with
He was fired for being not alive
Carrot in a box really broke Jon 😂😂
My favorite math joke at 19:50 when Jimmy says she's now been on the show more times than she's seen it.
Math? It's "Maths" dear boy "Maths", come on Alex, play the game son
Brits: Why do Americans call maths "math"? It's short for mathematics!
Also Brits: Sport.
Actually the line was used before by Rhod Gilbert when he explained he'd now been on the show more times than he'd seen it.
@@MzKitka Yeah like Football is a sport. You don't need the s because it's not a plural.
Honestly think Lee is only guy that could've followed Sean playing carrot in a box
"whats your greatest fear? - aging, ill answer for you" was a special kinda take-down lol
Lee Mack is living up to Sean Lock's legacy at a level I didn't think was even possible! 😂🤣😍🥰
Nah man. Hes not even close, just better than anyone bothering to come on the show anymore.
I'd say on par... just very different so it's down to personal taste. For me, I preferred Sean, and I don't think there's a better fill in for him than Lee.
Damn I thought John copper Clark’s poem was from arctic monkey lyrics but turns out he wrote the song
was just thinking i heard it before
Yeah the AMs are shite.
So many people have no clue who has written thousands of number one songs. It's rarely the singer.
Why would anyone, let alone _the_ John Cooper Clarke, ever base a poem so obviously on Arctic Monkeys lyrics.
I was here to say that was I wanna be yours by AM had no idea he wrote the lyrics though
'Don't react when you see the carrot in the box'
John is shit at carrot a box!!
Maybe - but just remember it was Jon that had to make the choice each time as to whether or not to make the swap - that's the more difficult bit of the game
Jon is always the chooser...and what makes it funny is that his intelligence leads to him overthining the scenario. He will always be beaten by a good BS merchant like Sean or Lee...who are nowhere near as intelligent.

Tbf, you're shit at spelling his name and I'm fairly sure that's harder to be shit at.
I was convinced; I also thought Jon had the carrot, or rather that Lee didn't.
@@randyschwaggins or Rhod, he's so funny.
Jack Dee has aged into Jack Nicholson.
I thought it was Jack Nicholson...
Jack Dickolson
Except Dee only _pretends_ to be a knob.

For a second, I thought Jack was the guy who played Frasier.
"I Wanna Be Yours" is a legendary poem and I will never tire of hearing John Cooper Clarke recite it.
Arctic monkeys used his lyrics in a song by the same name too, great tune
Joe offering Jon a point was a brilliant insult
Lol. Spent 3 minutes trying to figure out why Kelsey Grammer was on 8oo10c, then finally realised it was Jack
😂😂😂
This doesn't feel right without Sean, but well, bluffed Lee 😂 Sean was a brilliant comedian I remember one episode they bought out a Hairless Cat (can't remember the cat breed) and Sean said "Is that a dog or a cat" 😂😂 never laughed so hard in my life

Carrot in a box is one of my favourite segments 😂😂😂

love Sean yelling out "MILKY!"
Sean vs Lee would've been epic 😂 🙁
Jon gets so invested in this😅
He hates it but is desperate to win!
7:15. Turgid! How could a panel like this miss turgid? Look it up. It's a hilarious term.

Take the result of 8-(6+2) and divide that by (75*9). Plus 100

At 18:54 - why didn't they mention salience? It seemed so obvious with the order the letters came out.
Carrot in a box is the best triple crossover game show; 8oo10cats do would I lie to countdown.
Nigel Ng, aka Uncle Roger, has officially made it. He's on this show! A show which I regard as one of the best productions in the world!
FUYOOOOOOOO
36:46 the nerd in me feels Jon 😂 it’s not the most efficient way. I think he saw the 9-8 x 100 and was p*ssed 😂😂😂
There's only one carrot king!! RIP😢
Ah, Carrot in a Box, the game made famous by the late, great Sean Lock.
I think Dictionary corner missed "salience" as one of the 8 letter words at 18:38.
EGOCIDE & GEOCIDE
Sean would be proud 😂
3:47 Uncle Roger just vibing in the back
Yeah pretty weird right. What did he even do during the episode? Just yell at the camera while watching someone else's content?
18:50 isn't salience a word?
Jack Dee turning in to Jack Nicholson 😂
John Cooper Clarke wiped the floor with snippets of letters, bother far left and leaning right.
When I see Tom, I often think there should be a game show called: “Posh or Gay?” I hope the premise is self explanatory 😂
'Carrot in a box' sounds like a more genteel version of Chaucer's 'Quince inne an queynte'.
Does anyone know the clip or the name of the compilation where Jimmy takes the piss out of Rob's accent?
"Four for a pound....hello lovely ladies?"
What was that zoom-in at 16:42? Editor having fun?
Wow these are some ridiculous moments. Especially where it just basically plays an entire episode where Jimmy doesn't really do anything out of te ordinary
Salience wasn't mentioned at 19:05

John Cooper Clarke's poem was very reminiscent of sledge hammer by peter gabriel.
You can’t play carrot in a box without Sean 😢
42:24 it sounds like Suzie just did what Rachel's suggesting
So the first 2 words in the title are sean lock yet he appears for the last 2 minutes of a 53 minute video
Very thin on the Sean Lock clips.
I think it speaks to John's character that he is so consistently bad at spotting people's deceptions.
@36:53 Shouldn't Roisin technically got the answer wrong since the rules are "use only the four basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division" She done none of that so she should of got it wrong?
Shouldn't you master basic English before criticizing?
what was that zoom at 16:48 😭
One day Jon’s gonna just flip a coin … and still lose 😂
18:51 - What!? What about _"salience"?_
That woman next to Jon with the pink jacket looks soo miserable, until Jack’s poem.
I would be too, if I were her. She's trash and she's being compared to people with some actual comedic skill.
I didn’t like the idea of them doing carrot in a box again but Lee smashed that, Sean would’ve loved it
Took me ages to realise that was Jack Dee!
Jon, tho undisputed loser of carrot in a box
8:28 Jack Nicolson? holy cow that's a get
Have to admire Jimmy taking literally any jab amd turning into a tax haven
"I will call HMRC on you!"

John remains the defeated champion of carrot in a box.
Normally they say "undefeated" but that would be a filthy lie.
