@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 i can’t actually watch this video any more to make comparisons bc it’s blocked in the uk on copyright grounds but i agree with you about noel. he’s aged very well and i think it helps that his look has stayed fairly consistent but in the last couple of years the age has shown in his face. still a beautiful man though😌

[@caseyjune4912]

Richard's comment about no one seeing Submarine is so funny to hear now that it's one of my favorite movies ever

[@KickinRocks]

What makes richards takes funny is the fact that when he says something he says it like he means it fully .. dead face .. he could confess to murder the same way and people would definitely think he is joking im inlove with Noel and Richard

[@mfdinak]

Same! I adore them so much. Have always loved them each but as a pair they seem to be the definition of juxtaposition and symbiosis. It’s uncomfortably comfortable.

[@thebrutusmars]

46:59 That was my favorite joke. Richard Ayoade pointing at Jonathan Ross and the camera cutting to him rolling up his sleeves & threatening the cat. Fucking gold.

[@hospitalcakewalk]

the old lady, not the cat. he wanted to punch the lady that threw the cat away,

[@thebrutusmars]

@@hospitalcakewalk ?? They say the cat can walk around. Ayoade says “not if it doesn’t want to get punched” Jonathan Ross does the “come at me” motion

[@jakk1hundo553]

@@hospitalcakewalk it was a reference to earlier when Jonothan explained he’d punched a goat at petting zoo, he definitely was playing into the joke that he hits animals, it wouldn’t make sense in the context for him to be threatening the woman as none of the lead in for that joke even mentioned her, however it did directly refer to the cat

A fair few comments are kicking up a fuss re 13:42, where Richard Aoyade springs a tax-dodging joke on Jimmy Carr. Others here are commenting "omg look at Jimmy, he's squirming! Ayoade knew about the tax-dodging!" Really? Nah, I can't buy it. Jimmy's reaction doesn't strike me as that nervous. I'm not totally ruling it out, but his reaction doesn't seem that abnormal to me. When the scandal broke a year after this, in 2011, Jimmy's rationale for all his tax-dodging in the first place was: "A few years back, my accountant asked me if I wanted to legally pay less tax. I said sure, and that was it. I completely forgot about it until two days ago when I found my name splashed across every newspaper. Up 'til that point, I'd given the entire scheme barely two seconds thought." I could buy that. I doubt Richard mentioning tax-dodging even jogged Jimmy's memory.

[@nomdeplume2213]

Jimmys made a tax joke about himself every show ive seen haha but i watched them backwards starting with 2020 so im Benjamin Button it 🤣

[@mfdinak]

It has been wonderful fodder for ongoing comedy among these panel shows. And it seems that he always handles it very well with the initial look of perhaps shock and embarrassment , then slight derision, and then a good old fuck you.

[@SineN0mine3]

I think Jimmy Carr just looked nervous or anxious a lot back then. He seems a lot more comfortable these days, but maybe he used to have some stage fright. People assume that performers all love being the centre of attention, but lots of people just like making people laugh or realise they're good at it and have to confront it every time they're on stage. I have no idea if he actually does have stage fright, but I agree that he didn't seem worried about Ayoade's tax joke.

[@pineutrino]

@@SineN0mine3 Could be! Jimmy's made a ton of comments over the years re happily acknowledging that, on his first couple of standup DVDs, he looks like he's got a stick up his arse. He's been the first to acknowledge that it took him a good few years to really properly relax during a performance, and chill out and have a good time.

[@Fsquirrel29]

Sorry, this will be an odd question… I’m from the US and have limited access to UK entertainment, but The Big Fat Quiz shows are a favorite of mine and Richard Ayoade is always brilliant. Does anybody know if stays in character for the entire show? I’ve seen outtakes from the IT crowd & he will laugh. But I have yet to see him break character on the BFQ. Not breaking character is what makes me like him so much. He comes across as so serious - despite saying ridiculously comical things. And just when you think he will “lose it”, the camera cuts to another panel member that is laughing hysterically. It seems as though that is planned. It’s as if they want to maintain the serious composure. And finally… I warned you this was an odd question.

[@isolatedfromeducation5491]

Nah they show him laughing and chuckling a few times, i just dont think hes a big laugher

[@lyra5688]

theres a few podcasts hes been in where hes out of character but for the most part hes just really good at remaining deadpan for the comical effect

[@bobothn]

A lot of panel show people are just doing extreme overblown versions of their actual personalities. He is deadpan in real life and not a big laugher then amplifies that part of his personality to 1000% for comedic effect for the shows.

[@mfdinak]

If you catch an outtake or a glimpse of him enjoying his own or someone else’s comedy and he’s cracking up, it is like a rare blessing. The man is a genius, yet evokes such compassion as if he suffers tremendously due to such high intelligence 😆♥️

[@trash_chan]

I believe Richard just displays his actual personality when on panel shows while also having the freedom to improvise and constantly dropping gold on his own terms. When it comes to the IT Crowd, he is somewhat like Moss, just a bit more absurd and with less control over the comedic material. If you do want to catch a brief glimpse of Richard breaking, an great example is BFQ 2015 and the 'bad dong' incident where there's a brief moment of Greg Davies again trying to gather himself after crying laughing and as the attention is mainly on Greg, you can clearly see Richard almost erupting right next to him. It's great.
