Jack Dee looking more like jack Nicolson as he gets older.

[@skullmonkey420]

thought the exact same thing

[@linrob1312]

I like Jack..

Everyone let themselves go during the lockdowns.

​@beenaplumber8379 Let themselves go or freed themselves from the shackles of vanity?

so well said

[@user-zv7jq7hq1p]

David Tennant is just GREAT. well done

[@esdeekay4344]

I love Jack Dee's dry humor...

[@chriscoughlan5221]

he might have aged, but still has the same dry wit, thank god.

[@suekennedy1595]

This is first time I have seen Ian win ever

[@damntutin8016]

Annnnnd, Ian's quip of "It'll be this way in 2194" shed some of its absurdity here in August '21...

12:38 - I'm thankful I am alive to witness Jack Dee and Paul Merton riffing off each other. Legends. EDIT: I laughed when he brought up the chicken-slapping headline because I knew the answer before he unveiled it. Most prominently I remember Markiplier's (or was it Unus Annus'?) chicken-slapping video.

Did they steal the idea from Modern Family or the other way around

[@bradleybarnett9545]

@@laurahall3094 That's an instalment of Gogglebox I'd love to see. Merton & Dee enduring just one episode of Modern Family.

[@laurahall3094]

@@bradleybarnett9545 itcwould be better if it was just trailers with some of the best clips, tailored for the British audience. The chicken slapping would be a good one. Also when the Spanish wife mispronounced things, and they tease her and everyone laughs but when they do it a third time she goes off like the buzzer in the hot potato game.

[@MetalSlug-ev5wu]

Watching Rishi Sunak in that clip does make me worry even more for the future and I wasn’t sure that was even possible

[@beenaplumber8379]

I think I would have liked him more if he'd been talking about overcoming a cocaine addiction.

[@garrick3727]

Thanks, I was waiting for this. Looking forward to them getting an audience and no screens one day soon. They are still a bit stilted. Tennant though, can even do a Pam Ayers impression. There is no end to his talent.

[@franksimon8375]

His trump jokes are hack

[@garrick3727]

@@franksimon8375 Not sure what that means. However, I did think "We're not still doing Trump jokes are we." There's a lot to make fun of Biden for, but I notice they rarely go there. He flubs his line, falls over, calls Harris President, forgets the names of important people. But whenever someone ventures a joke at his expense the audience groan. When Reagan had alzheimer's the BBC wouldn't stop making fun of him.

If only the reality turned out to be merely the blue line. I'm watching in October. That blue line looks lovely compared to what happened!

[@zjetman]

David Tennant ages into Billy Connolly)) His voice at least) And that's a good thing!

[@TManLD]

when that dude said "Mexican coke a cola" I almost fell over, That is the only coke I'll drink for the reason its only made with cane sugar; this is the original way all soft drinks were made before corn syrup. Actually its has fewer calories as well.

[@Retr0Whiskey]

The funny thing is, Coke sold in the UK (and by extension most of Europe), doesn't use High Fructose Corn Syrup, it uses cane sugar - and most of the 'MexiCoke' imported into the US now uses HFCS instead.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Tripple X comedy :-)

I'll admit, I've thought his name was Kears Dahmer this whole time, not Keir Starmer. In my defense, I've only ever heard his full name said.

Jack has let his age consume him and there's no going back.

[@esdeekay4344]

He looks a lot like Jack Nicholson, doesn't he?

[@england6013]

He's still bloody funny

[@simonvanderheijden432]

He looks awesome!

[@garrick3727]

I know how he feels. I'm not much younger than him, and with covid lockdown I stopped trying myself. But now he looks how he sounds.

[@simonvanderheijden432]

Well, no one let age "consume" them. There's very little you can do to stop it i'm afraid. What do you want him to do? Dye his hair black? Get botox (like Katherine Ryan, who's not that old but is scared shitless about getting old and she looks like a wax figure and she makes me wanna puke) or plastic surgery? What he's doing is called growing old gracefully. He owns it..

I enjoy being a pedant---scientists have been speaking of animal culture for decades. :)

Thing is, for such a Coca Cola fan he's wrong - Australian Coca Cola uses cane sugar.

[@TManLD]

so does Mexican coke, they don't make coke in the USA with cane sugar, only with corn syrup yuck!!!

@bina nocht I didn't notice it. Well. Nothing really lasts forever.

[@laurahall3094]

@bina nocht Sometimes a few new faces can make something much more fun. I think SNL became relevant again after Pete Davidson was there, for example. Bowen Yang etc.

[@laurahall3094]

@bina nocht I should not have presumed you were American. On SNL I only like the segments with Colin Jost (news) and occasionally when they mock commercials. The current bent of humor in America celebrates cringe, which I don't like. What I really find great about British, Irish, Scottish, Welsh humor is making light of difficult times and crummy politicians. It's a national pastime, humor is.

[@Philrc]

thumbs up emoji? I see it used all the time all over the internet wtf are they talking about? 👍

[@melissah8415]

Just stumbled on the videos of this show. 4 months ago, talking about the 3rd wave and now we are in the 4th with a much deadlier variant for the unvaccinated. Just shows how rapidly the pandemic and how we react to it has been and will continue to change.

[@laurahall3094]

Turns out people would rather take a chance of dying than be forced to stay home with their dear families.

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@laurahall3094 I think it's the thrill of running around killing other people at random that turns a lot of them on. When else are you allowed to do that and get away with it? Try doing that with a gun and you wind up dead.

[@MAC...007]

I prefer English comedies over American, just for the audience reaction. The American audiences spoil it with their carry on, hooting and screaming.
