Carrot In A Box III: Jon Richardson vs Lee Mack! | 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown | Channel 4

[@wattouk]

The very first one is still the best. Sean could have convinced the entire world the carrot was in his box.

[@dylanryan2567]

Truly exceptional bluffing! 😂

[@aaronpincus6095]

I love how he actually reached in the box for the non existent carrot.

[@chainscooper2283]

Sean was a genius and is missed.

[@joshhale7012]

I think this is their tribute to Shaun on the show because whenever there is a round of carrot in the box we all remember him

[@jasperd.5734]

‘Can I just say, at this point, if there’s no carrot in that box you are a (f’ing) genius’

[@TheKeebster1]

It was a nice touch by Jimmy to say "Come join me in the Carrot In A Box Thunderdome" seeing as how Sean said "I feel like I'm in the Thunderdome." Well done, Jimmy. Classy.

That Lee guy is really good at deception, I think he should do a show where he tries to lie to other panelists!

[@donjones4719]

Multiple thumbs up!

[@mphays]

Sounds like a good idea. They need his polar opposite on the other side though to balance out the show, a Chauncey Uppercrust type. Maybe team they up with some comedians to make the show funny.

Of course Sean's game of Carrot in a Box is forever legendary, but I am just loving how Lee keeps rubbing it in.

[@neversaw]

Knowing how proud Sean would be of Lee is the best

[@bleedingpepper]

The funniest thing is, as time goes on, the pressure shifts to Jon's opponent because they don't want to be the first to lose to him.

[@arsenic1987]

Sean got the ultimate last laugh at Jon in this game :) Now he'd probably laugh at Jon saying "hah, can never beat me now" with his cheeky smile.

[@P4T0mtz14]

Sean is crying of laughter up there, im sure of it, he should be proud af of Lee, he trully deserves being our new champ.

Clearly, the secret to winning Carrot in a Box is to not give a shit about actually winning Carrot in a Box but caring immensely about taunting Jon for losing Carrot in a Box.

[@cholatepnabangchang4834]

[@jasonhadley6057]

Sean was watching this from the other side. I can see him smiling from the side of his mouth and twirling an imaginary mustache.

[@MrDJAK777]

Noone better to take over his carrot in a box role of making Jon look a fool. Sean's still the king though as soon as the word bluff left Jimmy's mouth you could see he knew how he'd win.

[@eswift8318]

Most games, the one who wins gets to come back week after week. The best part of Carrot in a Box is that Jon will have to keep playing until he doesn't lose.

[@fcporto1974]

Can't help remembering Sean Lock's brilliant deceit - still unmatched.

[@cvde95]

I love Jon's gentle destruction of the set. Even in a rage he's still careful not to cause too much of a mess!

[@madperson876]

Oh my god that would be amazing!

[@darthmarticusLFC]

I wish Sean was mentioned.

[@pyrdepavkki1601]

The way I see is that it's to avoid making it too grim seen as it is a comedy show. However I am sure Sean was on everyone's mind during this whole thing, whether it be the comedians or the viewers.

[@TimeToCrash88]

If memory serves, I think it was said that this was filmed before Sean's passing and he obviously didn't want his illness to be known...he will always be the undefeated champion!

[@darthmarticusLFC]

@@TimeToCrash88 That's fair then!

[@chalooby3403]

Imagine pitching this idea to the producers. "So you'll put a carrot in a box and one person has to try to bluff the other person whether there is actually a carrot in their box? What a terrible idea!" But then its actually top quality entertainment lol

[@jurgnobs1308]

according to jimmy, that is exactly what happened. but sean was in the meeting and said he likes the idea

[@singingplanet]

Is there anything more Jon Richardson than him gently tipping over the podium in his bout of tidy rage?

[@kylewolnik1789]

I love how angry Jon is, yet his OCD takes over to where he just gingerly places the podiums down 🤣

[@sidewinderenigma]

Sean Lock looking down from on high, cackling like a maniac at the curse he left behind where Jon always loses at Carrot in a Box.

[@samwilliamson4715]

Awesome round. Love this game! ‘- a subtle hint was when I said there was a carrot in the box! ‘ Hahaha 🥕🥕🥕

[@danielolson437]

I'm convinced that if the carrot was in Jon's box it would transport itself through the air and into the other box, just so Jon would lose again.

[@accidentalbyproduct6024]

Everyone, watch this and the earlier Carrot In The Box -games. Then tell me, that Lee wasn't very aware of the history of the game. This was nothing but a sweet sweet homage to a (then) dying Sean Lock. And I love it.

[@juchetony1910]

I hope Sean's last wish was for a carrot to be put in his coffin (and not tell Jon).

[@RealnoMis]

Carrot in a box will be increadibly funny until Jon wins then it will lose everything :D

[@remlapgarage]

Sean Lock will forever be the undefeated, undisputed champion of carrot in a box, but I'm sure where he still with us he'd be laughing uncontrollably to himself at John losing once again!

[@giftedmonster5293]

I want to see David Mitchell vs Lee Mack on this. That'd be hilarious, especially with his angry logic.

So glad that I got to witness Sean's deceptive genius in the first two rounds! With that said, it's always an entertaining game!

[@kjamison5951]

Rob: “And the next person is … Lee.” Lee: “Possession.” Rob: “So, open the box, take out the card and read it…” Lee: “I once bluffed Jon Richardson into thinking that I didn’t have this carrot in a box.”

0:55 That moment, when Jon earnestly checks in with Jimmy to see, wether or not they could really just break it in half and go back to their seats.

I laughed so hard! The winner of Carrot in a Box should receive the "golden carrot" or Sean Lock trophy.

[@neilgerace355]

Aww but then Jon would have no opportunity to lose :)

[@e_eyster]

Jon is somehow both the worst Carrot in a Box player and the most entertaining Carrot in a Box player at the same time. Watching him fail to win what if he just gave no cares in the world three straight coinflips is great. Especially as someone who would personally react just as poorly to losing three straight 50/50 chances

[@Anfa18]

OMG - I did not know that _this_ existed - this is simple perfection (though I do really feel for Jon - like him, I was so so sure about the outcome) - Sean would be ever so proud that this grand tradition continues - Lee did an awesome job, different, yet awesome. this has seriously cheered me up (as the original, and the rematch have done many times over the years) - particularly rough day today - this is perfection.

😢 Such a bittersweet return.

[@DaveHogg]

This episode was filmed before Sean died and, since his cancer battle was kept secret, they couldn't say anything without tipping off the audience members. Also, this is only Carrot In A Box III for Jon - Katherine Ryan and Gemma Collins played in 2020 on the last season of 8 Out Of 10 Cats. (And since Channel 4 has said there are no plans to film more episodes of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, there's very little chance we will ever get another version.)
