Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2014

[@matt.the.viewer]

It’s totally inexplicable, but “I’ve got a brand new combine harvester” is one of my favorite answers from any of the Big Fat Quizzes

[@juankusoff]

Because it’s a great song!

[@mattlariat3806]

Jimmy: "You can't fall out with everyone, Mel!" Sarah, laughing awkwardly: "Yes she can!.." This is probably my favorite line in context from Big Fat Quiz EVER. XD

[@edhensley]

I'm pretty sure they pulled Mel B aside on the next break and told her to relax... And it seems she took it to heart.

[@thexbigxgreen]

It would have been really ballsy of her too, if Mel B had understood the joke

[@SomeGuyNamedJason]

Having David and Richard on one team was just too much for the universe to handle, so they had to balance things out with a grumpy Mel.

[@lazaruschernik18]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@iamironclaw]

I still prefer to watch this one with her in, even though I hate her, as the other video with her edited out,took away like 20 mins of the show. Everyone in the comment praise the uploader for just simply editing her out of all of Micky's shots, but he didn't just do that, he took away many of his and others shots as well just to simplify things (as soon as someone talked to her, that was taken away too, like Ayoade's funny banana thingy and much much more). So a lot of talk and funny stuff is missing from all guests, that's not missing in this video. "worth it", some might say. I still wanna see it all.

[@nightsgrow6575]

That’s great! I tend to avoid re-watching this episode because of her but the rest is good

[@sarahgarcia5328]

I feel SOOOOOO bad for Mickey. He is a genuinely big hearted, talented comedian and he got a shit teammate. I'm so glad everyone just kind of stopped putting up with it. Sort of a vindication for him. And Jimmy is enough of an asshole that he called it out right away!

I saw the comments of this episode on another channel and they made it seem like she was really unpalatable so I skipped it. This comment section is much nicer so I decided to give it a go, and I'm glad I didn't find her repulsive all. I've seen her a bit so I know she's always had a bitchy persona, this much is exactly what I expected from her. What matters is how people around her react and I applaud Micky for handling her well.

[@GravyTraining]

@@de-fume I think it was mostly a persona she was playing. Clearly there was still chemistry between her, Micky, Jimmy, Sarah. I'm sure there was more that was edited down that might have been less "contrary", but conflict makes for good TV. :)

I know its been said a thousand times in these comments but I really don't like her here. I can't speak for her on anywhere/thing else she's known for but I've seen this episode a few times and she really doesn't seem to want to join in the fun, nor let anyone else have any. I know it's several years old but "I'm so confused, why is he eating a banana?" just got to me. Is that a trick question?

[@docmcstuffins5859]

I have to assume that most of these Mel B comments were made within the first 15-20 minutes of watching the video, she starts out awful and annoying but honestly I think everyone figures out how to deal with her (namely Jimmy, Mickey, and Richard) and she realizes where she is and tones it down a bit pretty early on. Saying skip this episode altogether is crazy to me, there’s so many great moments, I think it’s on par with any other episode once you get past the first round or so.

[@cyberwaste]

Some context to the Japanese politician. In the culture it's very important to show huge amounts of remorse and castigate yourself publicly should your misdeeds be exposed. Even if what you've been doing is known by others, you're only needed to do it if you've brought shame, embarrassment, or trouble upon your employer. It was the same for the girl from the pop group AKB-48 when she uploaded a video of herself shaving her head after she was exposed as having a boyfriend, something the members are not supposed to have even though it's pretty common for them to be in secret relationships. Japan's an interesting culture, I can't wait to move back to my own country though.

[@suchanhachan]

Having lived here quite a while and seen a number of public apologies, I agree that they are expected to clearly show the level of their remorse (genuine or otherwise). However my impression has always been that they're expected to do it in a much more controlled manner, through the words they use and especially their body language, consisting of deep bowing or even kneeling on the floor. I think most Japanese people, especially those in positions of authority, would find it almost unimaginable to wail and cry and lose control like that, even in front of their family or closest friends. The fact that that guy did it at a public news conference is pretty good evidence that he was in the midst of an emotional breakdown...
