The Christmas Specials 2021: Game 3 - No More Jockeys with Alex Horne, Tim Key + Mark Watson

[@NoMoreJockeys]

Thanks for watching our Christmas Specials! Have a - your friend and mine - happy new year 🍾🎉 #2022 #hashtag #cool

[@irishspikes]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@marsZpants]

thank you for all of this wonderful nonsense! happy new year!

[@simonspooner4005]

"I think the spirit of the category is that you can ablute legitimately"

[@tr1ckster]

The gutter press will be all over that.

[@willseabury6971]

A copper-bottom classic

[@leileleileleile]

Incredible line. 27:21.

[@PaddyRoon7]

There's usually at least one quote per ep that is wonderful when taken out of context, but this may be my favourite.

[@kgpierce]

"I've come to see Mr. Brown" is a good euphemism for using the loo!

[@TattyBojangles81]

I absolutely love that "hold on a minute, I've done a poo poo" still sends Key into, your friend and mine, raptures.

[@julielong6407]

To you wonderful gentlemen above the line may I say a heart-felt thank you for seeing us all through another tough year. Your prose, poetry, songs, tasks and of course this weekly treat of utter madness have certainly seen me through many a dark day and sleepless night. To my fellow nuisance penguins/DDGS below the line I say thank you. Some of your comments make me laugh almost as much as the shenanigans above the line! To all of you, above or below the line, I say a very Happy New Year. I am looking forward to seeing you all for Set 5! Over ❤

[@birth0fserpents]

12:23 "she's sending a lot of people to do her bidding" Key evolves his ideology from birds not being animals to birds and squirrels being people instead

[@isaaclodziak-green6326]

I’m glad he’s been educated before he got into serious trouble over his controversial opinions

[@BodywiseMustard]

If they have a personality they are persons.

[@PaddyRoon7]

Somehow Watto found a clip of the Snow White fight scene where it happens to cut right before she starts actually fighting. Possibly the luckiest escape in NMJ history.

[@LOCKEYJ]

If any NMJ player reads this, keep the info in your pocket for dramatic future challenge late game upset. Beowulf is a character in the poem of the same name… not a poet. The poem’s writer is unknown. Shoulda gone out on no more fictional.

[@Azeria]

When you think about it, and it only if you do think about it, this set was Key to Start, and importantly, also Key to End

[@freebeerishere]

we went to italy for a family holiday. my brother who was 8 at the time was so exited to go the kids museum. he was very disappointed when it was in fact, keats.

[@eleanorrigby2008]

I would argue that having documented fights is kind of Beowulf’s whole deal.

[@nathan87]

Horne wouldn't know that, he hasn't read it

[@hanumaniam]

But they're referring to Beowulf the "poet" rather than the character in the poem...

[@reindeer_skull8008]

Tim Key. No more legends.

[@Peteroranje]

I hope Horne was just hungover and its not that he has had enough of NMJ :S

[@PaddyRoon7]

He's always been like that tbh. He has the odd episode where he enjoys himself but mostly he's gloomy. If I was to guess, a big factor is that playing with Key is exhausting. I love the guy to bits but I know if I was in Horne's place I'd feel the same 😂 He takes so long, needs constant reminding of who's turn it is, his categories all take 10+ minutes to explain and clarify, etc. I'm sure it gets grating when the games aren't edited down to 25~ mins.

[@LOCKEYJ]

I enjoy how all three of these fellas seem confused about who/what beowulf is

[@m_w_a_t]

A fantastic end to a great set! Cheers for the festive entertainment.

[@godfearingturtle]

Just had a little read through of Ronnie Biggs Wikipedia page. something to note I think he falls foul of his own category being that he was born August 1929 a full 5 years after the death of Lenin

[@Drummer1000George]

No more people born before Lenin died

[@MitchOLego]

I await the next season of "Lobster or Microphone". (Also, considering how many fights happened on Once Upon a Time, they couldn't find a better fight scene for Snow White)

[@agolden847]

Love to hear the Peter O’Hanrahanrahan reference.

[@gryrabild]

Happy new year to ATL and BTL! Some very exciting holiday games, looking forward to what next year has in store!

[@tracey7241]

I'm a little worried that Horne is genuinely getting tired of NMJ.

[@bondfool]

On Twitter, he says he “wasn’t in perfect shape for it, but enjoyed it nevertheless,” so I think he was just feeling a bit poorly that day.

[@Peteroranje]

@@bondfool I guess we shouldn't expect these elite athletes to perform to maximum potential all the time.

[@finkdifferently7763]

I've been calling for a winter break for years. Athletes suffer, as does the quality of the game with such a Christmas fixture pile up.

[@NickARMartin]

Sunglasses the whole episode? I'm thinking just hungover, it's the holidays

[@neweyesable]

@@NickARMartin Someone on Reddit the other week said he was injured filming a the upcoming Taskmaster series. Got knocked out, hurt his eye. So it’s probably that.

[@leileleileleile]

Love Key at 8:18 saying "I'm sOmetimes nExt to hiM on bOOkshelVes" about Keats. Pure.

[@bluejadeblue]

Thank you for a lovely year of NMJ guys!

[@Kimberton149]

Cracking game, lads! Thanks for another year of distraction from, y'know, *everything*. x

[@ebonycrawford2713]

Horne’s obvious hangover only adds to this 😅

[@yellowrubberducky81]

More likely, slight injury.

[@leemartindale3149]

We below the line are looking forward to seeing some more Kitchen Conversions action today. PLAY ON!

[@LJ-zz1qf]

Hooray, cheers from btl! And Happy New Years from Australia

[@gladtobeangry]

I was distraught this morning to find my gutter absolutely riddled with nuisance penguins and jockstraps. I might write a strongly worded letter to the Guardian about this.

[@PaulKnights]

Awk!

[@Shift8YawnsShift8]

I think that the fine people working on Esquire would do your letter a greater justice

[@praalgraf]

if kitchen conversions be the food of love, play on!

[@hanumaniam]

Second time the "poet" Beowulf has made an appearance as a person. Looking forward to some of Key's poems appearing as future characters.

[@andrewpwebster]

🎶Who do you get at New Year? Who do you get on New Year's Eve?🎶

[@trishking6343]

A joy as ever. Thanks gents.

[@GrrregDavies]

Another excellent game. Happy New Year to all of the NMJers and below the liners. 2022 to start.

[@sfoster.23]

Toilet convo at around 10 mins has just made my night, thanks gents!

[@MatONeill]

Best show since Batfink.

[@TommyVance12]

Look at these three old Lang Synes. Happy New Year, fellows

[@lisathompson4590]

Did anyone else think that Mark's interview was his taskmaster podcast interview with Ed G, Which apparently are usually recorded at 10am 🤔 :)

[@Glenport]

No challenge on Beowulf! A notorious fighter! Mark squeaks by.

[@julianlineham]

Superb Specials, congrats Key.

[@volume007]

Having mice as an attribute made my day, thank you 😄🐭

[@lucaspascoal3931]

Thanks Laurinha Lero for presenting me this

[@mageless8192]

I know I’m way out of season, but Happy Holidays to everyone above and below the line. Well done Key!

[@miguel09211994]

Excellent set boys

[@anthonyi7284]

Key is such a brilliant mind gamer. Starting with Ariana Grande, which we all know is Russian for Large Iced Mince Pie. Psychologically genius.

[@Martin-bu6dx]

Actually keys category was flawed. Ronnie biggs was born 5 years after Lenin died

[@sierrahunterlewis7677]

I absolutely LOVE these BOYS ❤❤🥰🥰🥰❤❤

[@ben1210]

Eggs, otherwise known as "pommes de poulet". Was Biggs born before Lenin died? Either way, happy new year gents.

[@bearhustler]

HNY AB and B TL. I hope Mr Patrick Smith is a category next time 🤣

[@sammywammy181]

“The Ronnie O’Sullivan of no more jockeys” 😂

[@pallsmortion4750]

Bravo Mr Keys, bravo

[@TheChainedWolf]

You could have had Ronnie Biggs out on holding a microphone. He sang the song "No One Is Innocent" with the Sex Pistols and is pictured holding a microphone on one of the covers.

[@itselisha222]

Also in the picture that Horne showed to the camera.

[@paulquaife7974]

I guess mark watson couldn't name the other members of the train robbery, ( has 7 friends you can name)

[@arwenae]

Hugely dropped ball on Beowulf. Your classics fictionale fighter chappie. On the other hand, it is/was Christmas. All hail Key (until next year).

[@adamfranklin3689]

Lenin died 1924 Biggs born 1929

[@TennantJunkie1993]

So obvs the skinny Santa in sunglasses doesn't get to be named there.

[@franziskafinefein]

To me Terry Baddoos surname sounds a lot more fun than his christian name. But that wasn't an official category, was it?

[@izzyduffy760]

Think Horne needs to do less taskmaster and watch more films 😂 not knowing saoirse ronan!

[@kirsty__29]

He mustn’t have read Tim’s new book either as she is mentioned in there

[@BodywiseMustard]

Claus is Santa Claus's first name. Why would his wife be called Mary Nicholas?

[@TiddlywinksVonSmythe]

Is it too late to point out that Ronnie Biggs was born after Lenin died?

[@Rick-zv3xs]

Category one made me laugh out loud. “No more deconstructed Santa costumes” 😂

[@OthelloBoulevard]

You lot are on Sparkling form :o)

[@AshleySmith-dw6wh]

Christmas BELONGS TO KEY

[@graceabbott7383]

is the gutter press like the french dispatch? both starring saoirse ronan perhaps?

[@alexwhiteesp]

Raymond Briggs!

[@robertJ14]

Was Snow White ever sold an egg?

[@GoikOShea]

Ronnie Biggs was born before the death of John Lennon to be fair.

[@gladtobeangry]

Shut the fuck up Donnie. Lenin. Valdimir Ilyitch Ulyanov.

[@hermirony123]

great look for Key. It would very much amuse me to see Watto rock a blonde wig.

[@TennantJunkie1993]

No more Patron saints.

[@karltaylor4731]

We all enjoy a mini-game but how to maintain their profile? Perhaps by loosely linking them the right to use challenges. I'd like to see more of this sort of exchange: "Challenge!“ "Oh you think you're going to challenge do you? Well answer me this - when we the last time you asked me how many ml are in half a cup?" ... before a few bars of "Cups As A Measure".

[@TomMannCenturia]

Mr Horne definitely not feeling it that game.

[@Stantheman848]

1929 is not before 1924 over

[@KCtaskwatch]

The earth equivalent of Mr. GREEDY 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BodywiseMustard]

Beowulf is the name of the epic, not the poet.

[@catmannersScaryCatLady]

HNY, NMJ X

[@Rick-zv3xs]

Team Key 🔑

[@TennantJunkie1993]

No more Nickelodeon stars.

[@tom.lox.ralphs]

I don't much care for grumpy Horne.

[@franksimon8375]

665th thumbs up, now stop or, you're the devil Watto was brills

[@Chubby-Phil]

has Watto got nits?

[@darrylmulder5023]

I'm confused as to why Tim went with No More People Dressed as Santa instead of No More People Who Have Released a Christmas Album. Would have saved a lot of arguing.

[@melchioraksac663]

I think the answer is in the second sentence. Arguing is the lifeblood of the game.

[@leemartindale3149]

Christ almighty.....what's wrong with Horne?

[@barefootcontessamessa7245]

Honestly he looks like he might be in pain sometimes, suffering post taskmaster injury to his eye after effects.

[@englander2265]

Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

[@cainguyen2974]

Mr Patrick Smith is a certified Broker I have worked with him for weeks now living all my trading worries on him to earn FINANCIAL FREEDOM

[@Willeth]

I tried trading with Mr Patrick Smith and shortly thereafter my dog died, a car crashed into my house and I ripped a hole in my favourite trousers. I think he is in fact a minor demon in disguise. Don't be fooled!

[@ampersandcastle1091]

@@Willeth can confirm, Mr Patrick Smith kicked my door down and then climbed straight into my loft to construct a nest out of dirty laundry and cotton wool!! He’s been up there for about a month now and I can hear him scuttling around the walls at night. Not sure what kind of creature he is but to say I’m a bit ticked off is an understatement

[@GoggledAgog]

Patrick Smith - no more jizzhounds

I'd really like to enjoy these, but Tim Key makes them unwatchable.....

[@Anonymouse85]

Poor thing. Thankfully theres literally a fuckton of other videos for you to enjoy on the internet, why not jog on rather than complain on someone's channel that you don't like them? So rude.

[@SliverCAN]

@@Anonymouse85 Could you point out the spot where I said I didn't like someone? And rude? Welcome to the fucking internet, tough guy.
