Set 1, Game 6 - No More Jockeys [04.06.20 - Wonder Thursday #1]

[@RedBarrelsExplode]

The categories could be "no cold names" and "no rappers", and Tim Key would defend his choosing Ice Cube for 15 minutes.

[@NietSUPTG]

I thought the Ghandj category was going to be people whose names are actually titles.

[@MyNameIsJakeBolton]

Key getting a very gracious challenge withdrawal from Horne and then immediately calling the challenge stupid and trying to argue that he only has one challenge left, is outrageous and incredibly funny.

[@rkah6187]

It has a similar energy to Rhod Gilbert defending Phil Wang in season 7 episode 1 of Taskmaster and Phil turning right around and throwing him under the bus.

[@RosClarkeCraft]

Two of the people doing this show are mad, and both of them are Tim Key.

[@mtutaj]

From chapter five of "Tarzan of the Apes" by Edgar Rice Burroughs: "Tarzan felt the chill waters close above his head. He could not swim, and the water was very deep..."

[@2ndhandshop]

Which only makes sense. Tarzan was raised by apes, who are notoriously poor swimmers.

[@pancakewizard1533]

In the old TV B&W show, I bet he wrestled a crocodile while swimming at least once.

Key was born to cheat. You only have to see him cheating on Taskmaster to know that.

[@Izzno]

Sadly he can't pay anyone off this time round. Or maybe he can.

[@SpookyTimestamps]

"we can make it instant." *Snaps fingers* This was delightful.

[@YellowSnap]

Its hilarious to me that the "working with animals" category was set, and then Mark chose "Noah". The epitome of someone who worked with animals.

[@danopticon]

@Iolo Roberts - I’d argue Noah works _for_ the other species: he builds them a boat, and ferries them about… so they’re more like employers or clients.

[@BeingTheHunt]

@@danopticon I'd say he works for God. The animals are just cargo.

[@danopticon]

A small-town priest in rural USA, catering to their evangelical “born again” crowd and not affiliated with any umbrella church organization, might _say_ they “work for God to deliver their flock to salvation…” but report to the IRS that they’re financed by their flock. So a flock being delivered clearly hold more of an employer/client status.

[@bryanparry5661]

Also Tarzan and Hannibal

[@RenewedRS]

@@BeingTheHunt Animal cargo is still working with animals

[@beemoh]

HORNE: "I can challenge you again, still, can I?" WATSON: "You can, but it's death or glory" HORNE: "Glory, please."

[@khoo7732]

Key shouting ‘show some dignity’ was hilarious when he wouldn’t go down for Johnson.

[@samuellewis7336]

All that arguing about animals at the end yet no one challenged Mark for saying bloody NOAH! Wonderful game from all involved

[@ZenexTheZealous]

One would contest that challenge by saying his profession was farming. He grew grapes for wine and the bacterial organisms that facilitated the fermentation weren't animals.

[@J.L.Media.]

“On that note….well, different note”. Excellent way to move away from a topic of discussion without seeming too rude. Genius. 👍

[@perin2000]

“Tarzan never looked at the camera” “Yes, he was getting his Fleabag on”

[@user-ur2rw3sc8h]

Love this game - very few KZbin clips have me shouting advice at the screen but I just can't help myself. "Tarzan worked with his partner Jane and he worked with animals!!" and then ended up googling "did Roger Hargreaves give his mr men christian names"

[@gladtobeangry]

That's not his job, working with animals, he lived with animals. I don't think they paid him. And he wasn't working with Jane either, even though they turned out to work very well together. The actor Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan worked together AND with animals on the movie Tarzan the Apeman which was about Tarzan, but that's a whole different argument. "Apeman" isn't a job title, and Jane wasn't his PA.

[@danopticon]

@Moo-sheep - Do you have to be paid by someone to work with them, though? There are coworkers, for instance. And prisoners digging a tunnel with a spoon work together, and no one pays them for that at all… I mean, there’s a reward to digging your way out of prison with a spoon, but so is there in helping a tiger maul and kill a poacher.

[@user-ur2rw3sc8h]

@@gladtobeangry That's what I love about this game... so much opportunity for friendly debate. I agree the "Apeman" is not descriptive of his job but I always saw him as 'custodian of the jungle' or 'jungle saviour' so, in effect, a wildlife park keeper. I would suggest such, like zoo keepers, can be regarded as working with animals. I'm sure Jane, when they got together, also took on that mantle as his assistant unless you want to posit that she was just a (tree)housewife? :)

[@gladtobeangry]

@@user-ur2rw3sc8h I would argue that both Jane and Tarzan are free agents. They're living life surviving on whatever nature will provide them with. The only time they became "jungle saviours" was when people tried to destroy the jungle Tarzan was living in. That's still not a job. If someone sets fire to my house and I put it out, I'm not a fireman, I'm just doing what's necessary to protect my house. Tarzan an Jane are no more workmates than Romeo and Juliet or Bert and Ernie. They belong together, yes, but they're not working together.

[@danopticon]

“Working together” doesn’t require a job title and a paycheck, though. Geese work together to migrate, they form great formations and head out together, but they don’t receive paychecks or have desks with placards on them. Identically, Tarzan and other species worked together to coexist with, and within, the jungle.

[@gladtobeangry]

Even stephens again. This tournament is a knucklebiter. I was afraid the new rules might bring some structure, but it's derailing proceedings even more. Perfect.

[@TheSpyIII]

Are we definitely confident that Mister Sneeze isn’t playing the O2? OVER!

[@jrb5077]

I'm confident his surname is a verb.

Key: Can you hear my car alarm? Horne: You haven't got a car. Key: Yet... 😃

This is peak Key, and it's so enjoyable

[@RustyBucket2]

Tim bowing out at the Mr Men challenge took me by complete surprise. Thought he was teflon after brushing off the Symonds challenge

[@cttpuyo4694]

I think it was because of the Symonds challenge he bowed out. He was already on thin ice. If he hadnt been so adament about the Symonds one where he was clearly wrong, no way he would have walked on Mister.

[@YellowSnap]

Both the first and last names had to end in a vowel.

[@danopticon]

…AND Mahātmā was Gandhi’s _title,_ while his first name, Mohandas, _doesn’t_ end in a vowel! So Tim would’ve been disqualified at that point, had anybody pulled it together and challenged. I will say, COVID-19 is really benefiting the day-drinking industry!

[@verheggn]

@@YellowSnap mary definitely ends in a vowel. 'y' can be both a vowel and a consononant, in this case it is a vowel. www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/why-y-is-sometimes-a-vowel-usage. (you might argue whether magdelene ends in a vowel though, since the e is silent)

[@Zolbat]

I'd have challenged Gandhi, because Mahatma isn't his first name, it's a title.

[@TomSmith-jp1es]

What's the challenge for though? Are you saying they have to say their actual name rather the name their most known as, as a general rule? If so would that mean we couldn't say King Henry VIII or Pope Francis? We'd have to say Henry Tudor and Francis (whatever his surname is that hardly anyone knows)?

[@danopticon]

@Tom Smith - The challenge is that the name with which you establish a rule has to be an accurate example of a name which would break that rule. Otherwise you could just say any old thing, “Clara Bow, ahhhh… no more ex-presidents of the USA!” in order to establish a rule. So if you say [name x] and the rule “No more names where both names end in a vowel,” then [name x] should be a name where both names end in a vowel. Mahātmā being a title, and Mohandas being Gandhi’s first name, Mohandas Gandhi is not a name where both names end in a vowel.

[@georgelloyd5551]

Yes but his first name was still Mohandas so the mother's initials rule would still be accurate

[@LakeHarper]

Even if Mr. isn't his surname and even if Sneeze wasn't a verb, likely "Sneeze" is a mononym/Christian name that shares a letter with Alex's mum. And, worse, if the implication *is* that Mister is his forename and Sneeze is his surname, then "sneeze" still ends in a vowel and would be out anyways. It's a veritable bukkake of challengeable offenses.
