Set 3, Game 6 - No More Jockeys [12.11.20]

No More Jockeys is a game created by Alex Horne, Tim Key and Mark Watson.
✔ HOW TO PLAY
On each turn, players name a person plus a category they fall under. That person and category are then eliminated, and subsequent people must not fall under that category. As more categories are added it gets harder, and eventually impossible, to name anyone new.

can't believe we were denied of seeing screen names such as Technojizz and old mumma flyboy up until now

[@BrynDaviesGoogle]

As one of "These Goons" I'd like to thank Key on his instinctive pressing of the record button so we didn't lose this episode, though I do worry that this screen swapping is indeed how Key views the game from his end which I find rather disturbing.

[@andracatheduckking257]

thank god for old mumma flyboy

[@essentialatom]

Is it any wonder he's so constantly discombobulated

[@akp0583]

I was wondering that but in old episodes he's pointed to parts of the screen when arguing challenges... so maybe it was because he used his Ipad as he was away.

[@essentialatom]

@@akp0583 Well well well, look at old detective flyboy over here

mark not understanding how lighting works has been my favourite continuous thread throughout this set

[@michaelbartmeier9016]

“It’s not often you see someone lighting a room by, to be fair, just opening another room” is one of my favourite pieces of business in NMJ history.

[@ivarkrabol]

Always ready for the Watto "... Oh yeah-" *mimics what weird thing Key/Horne is doing, as if they had all agreed to do it and he just now remembered*.

[@BodywiseMustard]

Yeah it's much funnier when you explain it.

I'm rewatching. Liked this comment because it's one of the great nmj moments but I had already liked it first time round. So good.

[@mothpig]

Technojizz and Old Mumma Flyboy? I don't mind it actually.

[@nelsondias9989]

As entertaining as it was to watch, looks like they ditched the bad blood and ugly side of NMJ of last week. Some admirable sportsmanlike conduct has restored some dignity to a sport that was starting to come into disrepute. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@VideoNozoki]

That is because it wasn't Horne who was called out (and refused to leave) this week.

[@andobise]

@@VideoNozoki Horne, if you think about, is famously the stubborn and irrationally wacky one of the group...

[@VideoNozoki]

@@andobise : Until recently I thought that was Key, but I am beginning to change that opinion.

[@Peteroranje]

Its like when there is a fight in football and the commentators say "no one wants to see that" when really everyone does ;).

[@VideoNozoki]

It really isn't. I enjoy a physical game of football (prefer it). Last time was more like parents bickering; not fun to watch at all, just upsetting.

[@zagreus101]

TechnoJizz, Old Mumm Flyboy, and Alex Horne's iPhone sums the three up perfectly

[@Jobewiggle]

I don’t think Mark’s wonderful talking into the pen joke is getting enough credit below the line here. Genuine lol moment

[@jamie_rides]

See Horne, that's an honourable walk. Fair play Watto 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

[@andobise]

Well yea, the dog was from the EU, case closed. No need to see the dog's shoes. Fair play to Watto, unfair comparison to last week's beakin'.

[@thejoeyouknow-m5r]

"As crooked as a gate". Is that your £18,000 gate, Mark?

[@thevanityproject6480]

I think we should all just start bullying people with bad internet connection like your boys here. I think we’ve all been too kind in this jizzhound digital world and it’s time to crack the word “lagmouth” out a little more often.

[@wonderfullair8988]

Key picking up the slack was something to behold. But the amount of jump cuts is even more evident in speaker view.

[@danchemical]

Horne blowing the candle out with his eyes 🤣🤣🤣 the last few episodes have really picked up. Well done guys x

[@savagehenry8286]

What joy. This one has it all. Tears are literally running down my face. Though the tears may be more to do with the two emergency operations and strong painkillers I’m on following last week’s ill fated hospital escape after watching the previous NMJs. I don’t wish to go into too many details. Suffice to say my own ‘below the line’ may never be the same again. I trust I can count on the community’s support and prayers.

[@WaunGronChampion]

It’s unusual and unsettling to have these screens jumping between contestants...

[@macshordo4]

Horne's gotten a lot more erratic in the last few games, with his connection issues this week, and his heel turn last. This set, when you think about it, seems to be getting to him (and that's without exception).

[@DeanLaneMusic]

a heel turn is a great way of describing it.

[@keytostart7053]

Feel like Horne could be wearing a cape and twiddling a thin mustache by the end of the set

[@jammyninja]

Someone should send him an NWO shirt, get a picture of him in it and some black jeans (shoes not visible) and get it to the top of the Google search results for "wearing all black". Hollywood Alex Horne confirmed.

[@andobise]

I like the confidence look on Horne here. He's been hiding his intellect behind too much kindness and I'm not sure if Watkey is ready for the imaginary shoe to drop.

[@audreyb.9371]

i for one loved the new screen distribution, it was so funny hearing watto's comments in the background or coming back to alex suddenly having a coin on his eye

[@TannerLikesStuff]

I, for one, embrace the absolute chaos the last couple games have brought

[@SamuelGeist]

I love these gentlemen. The affection and wit bandied about here is phenomenal. It's the kind of friendship that we should all hope for!

[@andracatheduckking257]

mark, you're supposed to put the ring light behind the camera, it's not helping you here lol

[@JamieThelin]

👏👏👏 glad to see some respect for the game this week from Watto, walking honourably.

[@Mudpluggs]

Technojizz (edit - Lianne Coop) could have stayed if he argued snowy wasn't born in an european union country because it wasn't a member of the EU at the time due to it's lack of existence. Bish bash bosh, back to you boys above the line.

[@jamesbathgate]

Nah because the england example shows that what matters is the current membership status, not the status at time of birth

[@carrots1550]

The category was introduced with Pablo Picasso, who was probably born even earlier than Snowy!

[@Mudpluggs]

Then if that's the case as watto's lawyers below the line he deserved the category nullified under rule 34 of the no more jockeys contract. #thejobglovesdidntfit

[@andobise]

How exactly does this move help Technojizz get people below the line to like him, though? He made a safe play and earned a lot of hand claps down here because of it. I don't mind it, actually.

[@J.L.Media.]

Best episode yet. Key’s treatment of Horne was ruthless.

Horne operating straight from the Kremlin disruption playbook this episode. Don’t mind it but good that Key was there with the record button.

Yeah I didn’t mind that actually. Key in all Black, Watto walking without argument 👏👏 and a bit of TechnoJizz. Even my favourite game music in the background with Serenade for Strings - the movement with about 5 endings but I still like it. Good Game all, good game

Well, when you think about it, a return to some semblance of normality after last week's chaos! Pretty poor from Watson, then Key to fall on their own categories! Horne seemed to be all over the shop with his Techno Jizzery, but seemed to have a victory pretty much handed to him! Ah well, fun as always! Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed last weeks live episode, stayed until the end as I'm sure most did! Got through 2 bottles of red and a large rum, didn't feel great the next day, but lots of fun all the same! Hope you can do it again! Go Well!

🧐🤔 Played this back in uni. We called it Bartok and it always began: "Bartok. No more composers". We shamelessly honed rule lawyering to an art - channeling that I say Snowy debuted in 1929 .. before the EU .. is being from a state that becomes a member state of the EU 6 decades later the same as being from a member state of the EU
