The commentators are commentating a snooker match 6:01. I'm not sure if snooker's much of a thing in the US but in the UK it is (was?) the home of the world championships, with a decent following. Always televised. 28:13 The guys were "chalking" their snooker cue/straw with chalk/lemon slice, while the drink shots were laid out like the opening arrangement of the balls in a snooker frame. Mitchell drank a bloody mary and some coke colored drink and exclaimed 8! The score for potting a red (1 point) + a black (7 points) in a break, much like an umpire would declare if Mitchell had potted the black in an actual game. There was no additional context required 28:40

A lot of these are parodies of British TV shows at the time so it might not translate well. I think numberwang parodies totally nonsensical quiz shows where the rules are totally incomprehensible. The shouting panel of boffins parodies something like The Big Questions where complex situations are reduced to a few minutes of explanation while the moderator interrupts with unhelpful 'challenging' questions. The angel/bmx one I think perhaps parodies superheroes who are ridiculously overpowered.
