Rejected exam questions | Mock The Week - BBC

[@FeyTheBin]

I've been living in a rock. Finding Ed without his wavy hair caught me by surprise.

[@parryxxlivxx]

Oh thank you so much for that! I was struggling so badly to remember where I recognised him from 😅

[@erisplaysgames]

Fey Oh my god I was just going to comment about that!

[@LokkerG]

I'm more interested with Byrne's than Gamble's.

[@prestok]

Now he doesn't remind me of Geddy Lee anymore :\

[@3v4n52]

And me! I remember the long hair.

[@davesmith2194]

God damn I love these peaches. We will never forget.

[@DrDespicable]

I'd give pretty good money to find out how that joke ends...

[@dariushcreates]

@@DrDespicable I know how it ends. I hope. The last answer was "OOHHH YES!"

[@FinneousPJ1]

So much

[@nonosquare2695]

I only liked your comment because of the profile pic

[@bethan2600]

DrDespicable, there is a photo of a card that James sent to dara I think and it had the final amswer, I don’t remember what it was or where this photo is but I remember that it was not as funny as god damn I love these peaches. I’ll do some digging hold on

[@gentianviolet2785]

"Dara O'Brian's head as a guide" 😁

[@kylestubbs8867]

Makes sense. It’s a head full of sciency facts.

If an exam board has 3 maths papers and 2 are leaked, how are they still in business?

I doubt any1 will get the Edexcel joke lol

WHAT HAS ED DONE TO HIS BEAUTIFUL BOUNCY FLOURISHING CURLS??

[@MalcamPrasad]

You read my mind.

[@nantrax143]

I had the same exact thought! Why Ed? Why?????

[@chrisneedham5803]

He's jumped out of the 80s and landed in today

[@charliebear144]

He looks kinda like David tenant as doctor who.

[@CyberEJ]

It does suit him well, but I love eds long hair

[@Violetsunrise]

Ed looks 20 years younger with his new haircut.

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Looked familiar - but took me a few secs to identify him

[@alisonr3556]

2:19 I love how there’s light laughter. And then people finally understand the joke and then the laughter begins 😂

That's a tough exam question.

[@quizmaster85]

"Rejected Exam Questions" has become a common topic on _Mock the Week's_ "Scenes We'd Like To See". Discuss.

[@potterpotty01]

If a train Leaves Edinburgh at 2pm travelling at 100mph. And one leaves London at 6pm travelling at 120mph. Then how many comments in this stream will be about Eds new hair?

If my dad went to the corner shop 17 years ago, why didnt he come back?

I swear 90% of these comments are talking about Ed’s hair😂😂😂😂😂😂

Or Silver. Or Crystal. I prefer Shield, honestly.

I really hope he actually named his bully at the end there lmao

[@emz2969]

America and Britain meet common ground surrounding the word clusterfuck.

[@michaelrawson6261]

It's not politics in the correct sense. The political forum has (at LEAST) two sides. This, is merely lefty horseshit peddling, dressed up as so-called comedy.

[@bentilbury2002]

Oh yawn. Change the tune Rawson you tedious arse. Educated, funny, creative people tend to be left-wing-ish. If you like right-wing comedy, sod off and watch a Bernard Manning DVD or something.

[@OverratedRichards101]

RIP Ed’s Hair

[@derekpink]

Billy Church It’ll be back. It’s the class case of someone who has long hair and gets sick of it so they cut it short and immediately regret it, so they start growing it out again. Ed has done this many times. It never stays short for long.
