Gamble and Byrne going Ed to Ed.

I can't decide whether this is a good joke or the best dad joke

@@tylerrussellmusic1562 I have absolutely no memory of writing this so I was seeing it new and it made me giggle. But then, I've always been a sucker for dad jokes.

[@ShinobuSakurazaka]

19:28 "I have never seen you go more Irish!" That had me crying with laughter and that burn about Nish's page just being a hyper-link to Romesh Ranganathan was the cherry on the cake! Well played Ed Gamble, very well played!

[@stoneweierstrass]

This was the episode that made me fall in love with the new era of MTW. While I'm nostalgic for the competitive, high-energy era of Frankie, Andy, etc . ., this new collegial atmosphere is also excellent. It probably doesn't hurt that Nish's wikipedia bit is my favorite panel show moment ever.

[@FanFicnic]

I just love Nish on MTW. The way he loses it over the other comedians bits always makes me laugh twice as hard.

[@flannelgay420]

FanFicnic right? Any joke is funnier to me if I hear Nish cackling in the background

[@pennygreening9210]

@Luke Fields "We should go!!!" 😂

[@bumbaaclaaat2866]

Romesh is better

[@bobg1069]

He is sham laughing and its irritating.

[@attack0nmem0ry]

Ed Gamble versus Ed Byrne was a great competition, in this episode! No matter who technically had the better set, I feel the audience won having both laughs combined. 🍻 Thanks for the upload.

[@rushaholic]

I was very surprised that Ed beat Ed in the stand up challenge, I really like Ed but I thought Ed had the stronger routine.

[@1ListerofSmeg]

I couldnt disagree w you more ...or not. ;^)

[@JekyViews]

I was hoping for Eddy to make an entrance! (Ed, Edd ‘n Eddy! A show on Cartoon Network)

[@OTBC123]

Are you serious?! Ed was so much better than Ed, clearly deserved to win!

[@whaghht]

Ed clearly won the challenge ;)

[@yardwolves2773]

+OTBC123 You must be mad! EFTW (Ed for the Win). Although, there was that moment were I thought Ed had gotten the lead over Ed, but then Ed ... ah forget it, I lost it myself.

[@annw1506]

Rachel Parris is great on Mash Report -- good to see her here!

[@mdntctyvlcn]

Rachel Parris was enjoyable because of her calm demeanor and she is delightfully funny. Please bring her back.

[@loopyluu9302]

@Caleb Flood: if you enjoyed RP here, check her out on The Mash Report (where you'll be re-united also with NK) Even funnier and very articulate. Enjoy!

[@Scy]

You could just say she's sexy AF. Honesty doesn't kill ya. Unless you're talking to an SJW.

[@yokie52]

Is that how you feel about the men..their "calm demeanor"? WTF.

[@falcychead8198]

Scy, RP is SAF, but WTF is SJW? ELI5, TIA.

[@theinternet1424]

It's quite a rare style combo - she's upbeat deadpan. Very few people try it and she completely nails it.

[@bilakos1987]

If Rachel Parris and Kerry Godliman were regulars, I'd be ok with that.

[@kieranhardy660]

I wanna kiss them all over. and over and again. I wanna kiss them all overrrr...… dun dun dun!

Yeah same! They're absolutely amazing

[@DarkSamers]

Don't forget Ellie Taylor.

[@bournemouthisshit]

Yeah, I would too! 😜

[@TrondBrgeKrokli]

I find myself returning to this episode, not quite sure exactly why. Maybe it is for the political banter, but it could be for the joke that Hugh has been banned from Chessington World of Adventure. Overall, I really enjoy the full combination of all the gags. Nish Kumar also has a really hearty laugh, which also contributes to the joy of it.

[@ytisfulloffreaks4189]

Weirdo....

[@jakk1hundo553]

I think Nish’s Wikipedia bit with Ed and Dara going off on each other is another amazing part of this show! And Rachel is just wonderful to admire, beautiful and funny; shame Dara can’t say the same ;)

[@pregerzoreo4886]

[@cosmicthistle4269]

Kerry Godliman was the star of this episode for me. The "Captain Birdseye" joke had me in stitches, and I'm actually thinking about changing my screensaver to the face Kerry pulls when she makes the "whiskers and cat piss" joke

[@amberkelly3187]

Russians have a great voice for being spies. My surgeon met me pre op to discuss things and turned the whole thing into a hilarious spy caper. “We will meet again in theatre. You will be unconscious”

[@snipper1ie]

Glad to see that migrant workers (Dara and Ed) are given opportunities to work in the BBC

[@garfreeek]

Kerry is probably an amazing improv player. I loved her jokes!

[@SarahJay55]

The "Dominos effect" line made me spit coffee on my laptop! Stopped watching MTW a few years ago, but this ep was better than I ever remember (I was just searching for Rachel Parris stuff tbh).

Alright, internet, it is now our goal to track down Ed Byrne's episode of Blind Date and upload it onto KZbin.

[@piponope]

All the newspaper articles mentioning Ed in blind date don't have a picture of him. They do of others. Don't think there is a picture in the public domain. Hopefully someone has it on VHS tape 😊

[@omarkhan5223]

My Great uncle usually DVRs them, i'll check with him when I go upstate.

[@dwoolrych]

Nish being a poor man's Ramesh is soooo true!!! Hahahahaha

[@Walperion_Music]

Why is everyone saying "a POOR man's Romesh"? I would say "Nish is a humourless man's Romesh". But what being poor on money has to do with their comedy tastes?

[@NeonUltra95]

well i find nish funnier than romesh so yours wouldn't work either.

[@Walperion_Music]

Why wouldn't it work? You're a humourless man and he's your comedian.

[@eastvandb]

Because apparently what's funny is in no way subjective and Yokky and Drych apparently have the authority to decide what funny is. And, generally, they have no sense of humour if someone dares to bring up race unless it's in the MOST unchallenging way possible.

[@NeonUltra95]

im not humourless he just is funnier than romesh not that romesh isnt funny he is hes just lacking a lot for me.

He turned down a recruiting officer from MI5.

He was offered a job in the development department at Kelloggs.

[@mikespongili8254]

His real first name is Peter. When he joined the Actor's Guild, there was another Peter Dennis, an older man, which wouldn't have been a problem normally but he happened to have some important position in the guild so "Hugh" had to change his working name to Hugh.

[@aemelnick]
