Susie Dent Bites BACK! | Jimmy Carr Vs Susie Dent | Cats Does Countdown | Channel 4

[@stuartleslie5421]

There is an interview with Carr where he says that all personal jokes are run past the panelists first and dropped if they are not happy. Also he says that when they ran out of jokes about Susie, at a meeting of the cast he came up with the idea that Susie was a complete slag, promiscuous and insatiable. Susie, who Jimmy said was the nicest person in the world, said: OK, we'll go with that. She is obviously a great sport and not really shockable.

[@FMSkyLoL]

Susie herself said that she wanted to be targeted. Originally they avoided her because, as you already said, she was so nice but she didn't like that at all

[@stuartleslie5421]

@@FMSkyLoL Just shows how cool and open minded Susie is.

[@antred11]

I suspected that all along. Jimmy goes pretty far with his jokes, but I never thought he'd use them to hurt people he respects / likes, and I'm pretty sure Susie falls into that category.

[@egalomon]

I think that's why the glory holes-bit made everyone crack up so much - because for once it was improvised and caught everyone off guard.

Susie and Rachel have been doing Cats does Countdown for many years now, they clearly really enjoy being able ti relax, swear, mess about, and just basically have a really fun time. Brilliant combination of two shows, funniest show on TV in my view right now.

[@cserpir]

It is a roast, but while roasting, Jimmy is plugging Susies books.

[@ColtSeaver5]

She writes books?

[@dominusetdeus060644]

i bet many people would love to "plug her books"

[@abcs3356]

and thanks to that her book sales have gone up from 3 a year to 4 a year alllriiiight

[@jwvandegronden]

Didn’t think of that that way. You might be right, including her shows and podcasts!

[@nothanks9174]

That's true, I've bought two of her books as a result of Jimmy plugging them. They're the perfect size for stabilizing my coffee table.

Susie and Jimmy give off the energy of two good friends who love taking the piss out of each other without taking things seriously, and I just love that. Or, Susie’s the quiet kid roasting Jimmy the substitute teacher. Either or.

[@gwingcommander]

Dread it. Run from it. The Gloryhole joke still arrives. and it is always funny.

[@cobrasys]

The glory hole joke and the bathroom poem were the only things to ever cause Joe Wilkinson to break character. But the glory hole joke earned a "the most unnecessary joke" from him, and for that, it shall forever be in the hall of fame of (awesome) unnecessary jokes.

Can you give contex of the joke please?

[@shyamwarrier9865]

P.S. Madarius explained it better @@londonpunk There's no context tbh. They all trade banters and Jimmy just said that unhinged for no apparent reason. It was totally unnecessary. I mean, if Joe says it's unnecessary then it's really an unnecessary joke

[@MrDJAK777]

@@londonpunk show starts > Jimmy does the introductions > gets to Susie > asks her what she's been looking into as per usual > pauses > adds "Other than glory holes" out of nowhere as if that's already assumed because it's her. Edit: ties into the running gag of Susie being a promiscuous sex addict. Also not sure if that was the during intro on that one actually might have been a mid show "dictionary corner" moment where he asks but all the same.

[@marks.6480]

The glory hole will be mentioned in all her obituaries. Thanks Jimmy!

[@ProfessorWah]

@@londonpunk It was particularly funny as David Mitchell brought on sexy handcuffs to that episode as his mascot to 'enable' jokes about sex

It’s common knowledge that Susie asked to be included in the roasts, you can see she enjoys it.

[@tewaewae]

she does imitate a potato quite well.

[@Pieter-ns5nv]

To add to the german words part... There is a german saying that goes like this: Was sich liebt das neckt sich. Roughly translated: what you love you make fun of. Its like when at your new work your colleagues roast you a bit: then you know you are accepted.

[@MythicSuns]

Yeah, she loves a good roast.

[@panda4247]

[@Nocturnaz666]

Susie is such a good sport. I know (much of) it's scripted, but not many could handle the ruthlessness of Jimmi Carr with that amount of grace.

[@grantharris7741]

I think I'd take Jimmy's abuse with a smile on my face for £400,000. I'd even do it for £350,000.

[@Woad25]

For some people that's just how they bond with people. If you find somebody who can take your good matured ribbings with a smile well they are good to have around. But find somebody who can throw it right back at you, well now that's somebody to keep around forever.

[@reececollison5101]

It’s all in jest though isn’t it. He’s not taking personal jibes at her though. I do have a couple of insecurities I wouldn’t like to be joked about (tbh who doesn’t?) but anything else I’d just laugh it. People take things far too seriously nowadays!😒😂

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

In an interview, Susie once said she kind of left out in the early episodes as Jimmy was pretty mild towards her. Jimmy then started in and she can dish it back at him. I am sure that Jimmy knows which topics are off-limits.

Suzie reminds me of a film with Walther Matthau, who, as a newly-broke millionaire has to find a bride in order to receive a fortune. He marries a geeky awkward plain girl, and tries to kill her so he can keep the money and resume his previous louche life, but in doing so, he falls in love with her.

[@Rothiman]

For anyone curious: the second German word "Dornröschenschlaf" refers to the sleeping beauty fairy tale, the German title and name of the main character being "Dornröschen".

[@monicaspoor2993]

Who, in the original version, got pregnant by the prince and had two kids with him before the curse was broken, so that whole 'avoiding sex' thing didn't quite work out as planned.

[@terencejay8845]

I think the word was "Dornhöschenschlaf" though, which means what Susie said it does.

[@panda4247]

@@monicaspoor2993 what the fuck? sounds more like a fanfiction or straight out porn. Source?

[@sthlcrx]

@@c0ldc0ne No, it wasn't, cuz that doesn't exist. Suzie just can't pronounce "Dornröschenschlaf", which is tough for non-native speakers as the first "sch" is a "s-ch" (it's a diminutive, small rose) and second is the actual "sch"-sound. On that note, the first word she mentions is made up.

She is sooooo well versed in English language, but she still makes the most basic "mistakes", a gold mine for innuendos. The comedians she works with are like hyenas when she pulls one of those comments...She is very nice. Adds that intellectual/ innocent image of the good girl in class :)

[@MythicSuns]

8:14 I remember on an episode of The Big Narstie Show Stephen Fry talked about how the English language gets bent around so much that saying something innocent can easily be misunderstood as something dirty. The example he went with was when he was talking about a Panini sandwich that a woman backstage had bought in and he got some funny looks when he said to her "I could smell your panini from across the room".

[@keithmills778]

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

Once upon a time a boy was born who was just a Head. His mother would put him in the window so he could look out an see the other kids playing. One night he asked his mum why he was born as just a head? She said she did not know but if he prayed very hard to god maybe he would get a body. So he prayed very very hard and the next morning woke up with a torso. This was great and he rolled around the floor having a great time. That night he prayed again and the next morning woke up with arms. Fabulous, he could crawl and scratch and had a wonderful time. So that night he again prayed and prayed and prayed. Next morning he woke with Legs! He hopped and jumped and kicked and ran all around the house. Then he spotted the kids across the street playing and ran out into the street, was run over by a car and killed. The moral of this story is - "Quit while your a head. "
