[@NSGrendel]

Apparently, this was the first indication for some people, that Mel B was humourless and self-centred. Totally understandable, being her first public appearance.

[@milesz2885]

When i worked with people with autism they required multiple social settings so they can use them as contrast to get to know someone as using body language and tone of voice isnt in their skill set

[@JoeBlac]

It couldn't have been easy with her husband smacking her around pretty bad, covering up a lot of bruises, and having O/D trying to commit suicide not long before this show.

[@JoeBlac]

[@TheHuntrees007]

Mel B always seemed GENUINELY annoyed to be there and borderline hostile.

[@DeanOliver1964]

Agreed. She seems a bit smug and stand-offish. I can't imagine she would be fun to be around.

[@enemdisk6628]

Agreed. Didn't bother me much.

[@puirYorick]

"Why's he eating a banana?" Mel B was genuinely confused.

[@rubenknol1590]

That shade that Jimmy threw saying: Don't call that angry bird old. Love it.

[@Oddstheo]

I tell you what, that Flappy Bird is really moreish..

[@OGimouse1]

Mel B ruined this episode HANDS DOWN. You know someone is bad when both Kevin Bridges and Richard Ayoade--at the SAME AIRING--can't resuscitate this episode.

[@t3nder-4pe]

That's why this exists: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXQhnaIdrV_l9U

[@JesusJuenger]

So many comments on here critical of Mel B. She's a singer with no comedy experience on a show in the context of 6 professional stand-up comedians at the pinnacle of their careers, of course she is not going to look funny compared to them.

[@Kickmon]

@@JesusJuenger True, but if you look at most other musicians on comedy shows they at least try to have a good time. Mel B just comes across as a snobby bitch

[@Janinho897]

I wanna apologize for Ashley S. MacKenzie not mentioning David Mitchell's name. It shoulda been in there, we all know that.

“Please, don’t say the angry bird is quite old.” That was a sick burn.

[@Humanlink1]

Mel should just stick to being a judge. You know a judge, an unfunny person who thinks their opinions are important and interesting.

[@PaulMab9]

@@pashadyne What...... That was *never* anywhere close to a typical age for pregnancy. While I am sure there have been isolated instances throughout history, it has never been a significant percentage. Let alone a percentage large enough to significantly impact the average! And all of that is not even mentioning that your use of the term "average" implies that there would have been *prepubescent* girls having children. So I'll just assume you mean that it wasn't as unusual, which it most certainly was!

[@SuddenReal]

@@pashadyne I think you want to check that again. It's way MORE than only 30 years. But yes, other than how long ago it was, you are correct.

[@Kawdek]

Paul Mab Don’t bother, knowing the internet, it’s either just another sicko trying to excuse their own paedophilia or some historical revisionist trying to portray the entirety of human history as abhorrent in order to make whatever psychopathic, dictatorial agenda they support seem less objectionable by comparison.

[@JohnN320]

@@pashadyne ah yes, 30 years ago when humans AGED FASTER. I guess your brain didn't age fast enough cuz you're actually the dumbest man I've seen.

[@wight1984]

@@pashadyne Average age for first pregnancy was not 11 whether we're talking about 30 or 300 years ago. 30 years ago is the 1990s, at which time the average age for first pregnancy was late twenties. It's not been lower than the mid twenties (in the UK) for all of the 20th century. Even in the medieval period, the average age of childbirth was still in the twenties, with some women having children in their late teens. There was a practice of arranged marriages happening with 10-16 year olds, but that was mostly for noble families (not commoners) and those girls weren't expected to carry children until significantly older.

[@panchostoystash4502]

Mel B made this episode for me. She was so uncomfortable and the others just didn’t care. Simply brilliant. She kept setting herself up to be the butt of the joke.

[@just-tess]

thank you! I know it's basically the law now that she ruined this episode but I thought she was hilarious, intentionally or unintentionally...

[@jonathant4201]

Her genuine disdain/annoyed confusion at 10:11 and 10:20 is how my family react to my every life choice. I am Ayoade eating a banana.

[@idkwefr1751]

I grew a genuine disdain for Mel B after watching this Big Fat Quiz.

[@jaybrewster2475]

Why?

[@theliquor6423]

She’s an ill tempered old diva, if you watch the full episode watch her reactions to pretty much everything.

[@LasseLundster]

She was literally acting like that stupid bitch in 9th grade who had to put everyone else down all the time, like shut up Karen just because you didn't find something funny doesn't mean you should bully peoples opinion, the world doesn't revolve around you

[@Kawiturbo750]

Stabilo Boss did a truly professional job of removing any trace of Mel B for the whole Big Fat Quiz 2014: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXQhnaIdrV_l9U

[@andrewcarson5850]

So? I'm a fan of algae but I don't bang on about it.

[@WendyMenjivar_Videos]

I don't really understand the hate. She's not really being "mean", she's just clearly out of her element and is probably aware that she can't measure up comedically with everyone else so she plays the only role-dynamic that she knows in this situation: the straight man to all the comics. Mickey seems to be making light of it as much as possible but he doesn't look too miserable?

[@SuddenReal]

Watch the start again. The part where she has that way too long discussion about the team name. That's not getting the joke. Now, imagine that for the full episode. A straight man sets things up. She continued after the fact, dragging everything out until everyone just gives up because it's not funny anymore. This is a 2 hour episode, with all the best bits in just under 12 minutes. That's how horrid she made that episode.

[@halwakka504]

The laugh track on some of these shows is too loud and abrupt.

[@alistaircochrane2870]

There’s an audience

[@halwakka504]

Yes, there's an audience. You can't hear the audience for the most part because it's been modified. Listen to how loud and suddenly everyone laughs, then everyone stops *just* as the conversation starts again, then starts when they're finished their next line. Actual laughter tends to peter out instead of everyone stopping in the same half second, and often you'll hear only a few people laugh at something that's a bit obscure, then others will get it shortly afterward and laugh. It's a fucking pity too, because most of these guys (especially Carr and Mitchell) are a riot and the obnoxious fake laughter distracts from it. :p

[@etho09]

Wow. Have never seen Mel B in any other context apart from the spice girls. It is one thing to be painfully unfunny, it is another to actively shit on any humourous vibe that anyone else gets going. She is awful!

[@nigelbenn4642]

Jes Mel B is just like a Tory MP, so removed from reality.
