Room 101, S7 E5. Roisin Conaty, Chris Kamara and Nish Kumar. 16 Feb 2018

Room 101. Frank Skinner. Roisin Conaty, Chris Kamara and Nish Kumar. Topics include bread at restaurants, downloading music and ex-partners. 16 Feb 2018

[@GordonHugenay]

Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables fits perfectly Roisin's description of an Oscar-baiter

[@isabellaangeline2175]

5:16 As a woman it never bothered me if men didn’t automatically offer me their seat. But as a young person with painful rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and feet, I do get bothered when I get attitude from older people who assume I’m healthy just because I’m young and not yet in a wheelchair, as if only they know what it’s like to hurt all over and struggle just to walk on certain days.

[@Widdekuu91]

I have the same with autism, I can get overwhelmed and I really would like a seat at that point, so I don't get dizzy. Also, back in the day I was required heels/pretty shoes for work and my feet were hurting after standing on them for 12 hours, but even if I asked, nobody would give up their seat.

[@royfr8136]

Roisin Conaty was the best in this... What she said about love was spot on

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

And exes, too...

[@youkeepwalking]

No matter who the guests are Frank is the main reason I ever watch this show....he elevates unfunny entries to funny.

[@AshArAis]

The reason he called her the wickedly talented was that she sang for Wicked. Great line up - an example of a non-comedian guest who can hold his own with the rest!

[@royfr8136]

Yer its was pretty obvious even if you don't know

[@marykateoshaughnessy4517]

Chris Kamara needs to do more panel shows like this. He's so accidentally hilarious! 😂😂

[@dlon4539]

MaryKate O' Shaughnessy like all the older generation, naturally funny. What a gift to be able to laugh at yourself

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Legend.

[@futhamucka]

I like how you bitched at someone for being sexist, then proceeded to take the piss out of their accent.

[@svenwirth439]

Dan Reader And where exactly is the correlation between accents and sexism?

[@futhamucka]

There isn't one.

[@petergilbert7106]

The best Room 101 episode I have seen for a long time. A great mix of personalities.

[@nicolevance8705]

I just discovered this show existed last week, and I have laughed so much for this one. The bread though 🤣🤣

[@TheSuzberry]

Offered a seat on the tube, my first thought was, “How bad do I look?”

[@stephjovi]

I'd think omg do I look pregnant

[@99Plastics]

bad enough to get a seat I guess, but gotta take the Win where you can in life. Lemonade so to speak.

[@mhmnorris]

I completely understand giving your seat to the elderly, infirmed, or pregnant women, but if a woman is in perfect health and not with child there is no reason she should be treated any differently because of her gender which is sexism on the other end of the spectrum by treating women like they require special treatment as if they can't manage standing for a train ride.

[@thomcousens5345]

This. So much.

[@andrineslife]

I can't speak for everyone, but I feel like a lot of women would feel the same - just being lumped into the same category as elderly, pregnant and injured people seems a little offensive to me.

[@aragorniielessar1894]

You are 100% correct.

[@lukekelly344]

Mike Norris I understand your view, nothing wrong with it, but personally I would always give up my seat

[@hannahrebecca8410]

If someone asks for a seat nicely, please give it up to them. Women particularly are more likely to have invisible disabilities/chronic illness. As someone who has an invisible illness but now uses a wheelchair, people that would let me use their seat when I asked saved me so much pain!

[@NataliaLampraki]

i loved these three ! made a good show

[@loodlebop]

Funnier than I expected

[@KTGetc]

I'm not from the UK but Kamara is a goddamn national treasure, cherish him

[@katiemiaana]

he's hilarious, get a life.

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

The three of them are hilarious, aren't they ? Roisin loving the car's lifestyle (the driving gloves) but leaving the gloves in the glove compound while driving, for exemple...

[@saawanjethwa9403]

This was a very good episode.

[@nataliegerdano6028]

I would watch a whole panel show with these 3!

[@royfr8136]

not the guy in the left ot right just her

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

You never know where the truth is gonna come from. I find these people extremely clever, hilarious and human. (Love the Scottish train story...)

[@mariavictor4324]

The origins of ‘Poppadoms or Bread!!’??

[@daviddante1999]

I'll be honest, I'll give up my seat to anyone in need but giving it up just cause you are a woman?!! Pfft nah.

[@DanGolag]

Yeah, I think most women would be slightly offended, honestly. I automatically get up for pregnant women and anyone with a small child though.

[@daviddante1999]

Gal Dagon Fair enough, that's just good manners which we can all benefit from.

[@michw3755]

David Dante guess you're ready to hand over your higher wages as well then yeah. Pfft nah not quite ready for equality then, just the bits that benefit you, sounds about right

[@julianevans9548]

Yup, women aren't feeble. The idea of standing up for a woman - and all the other things some consider 'manners' - came about in order to represent women as 'weak'. It may be well-intentioned, but it's sexist. You only have to think about it logically for a second - why would a woman be unable to stand up?

[@calibrazxr750]

How do you even know that he earns more than a woman doing the same job. I have worked with women most of my life and in every single case, when they do the same job as me, they earn the same as me. This claim about men earning more is only relevant in certain lines of employment, about 99.9% of women earn the exact same as the man standing/sitting next to her, doing the exact same job.

[@technicolorexplosion]

I think Chris is well-intentioned but severely outdated here. I would honestly be so confused if anybody offered their seat to me on a train and would definitely refuse. I don't understand why a young and healthy woman would get priority over a man the same age. Manners still exist, in that I see elderly or infirm people being given places on the tram every morning by fellow commuters, but thankfully the sexism of seeing women as feeble helpless creatures is disappearing. I know Chris is from an age of "gentlemen" but it's just a little condescending.

[@Matt-ct5ks]

I would be afraid there was something wrong with the seat or they did something to it. Like they just shat their pants there.

[@kanos75]

@Todd Wesley Hellems In today's day giving someone an honest compliment is frowned upon. I see your view that women may feel they are being condescended when do gentleman type things for them. But, I don't have a problem holding a door for a healthy kid or a crippled older person. It is the gesture of kindness that I'm offering. Not out of a tradition or antiquated sense of feminine inferiority. I only hope that others will start to realize that it isn't a possible insult but, an offering of human kindness. :) Thanks for your input! It's nice to have civil words with a person on the internet. lol

[@arthurgordon6072]

I love cars and I love driving. I cannot comprehend anybody who doesn't.

[@withonelook1985]

OMG Chris is SUCH a footballer... "get enough money... Range Rover..." and a house in Cheshire

[@Widdekuu91]

+Evilqueen Glad to see it wasn't just me that noticed that. I wear thriftshop-clothing and haven't been on a holiday (further than an hour from my house and not in another persons house to house-baby-sit) in years. The part where he was aiming to buy a Range-Rover was the most unrelatable thing for me (and probably everyone in the comments as welll.) I'm just happy I can eat properly and can buy proper footwear and have thriftshops nearby.

[@jackvisser]

Great TV Great Show

[@Greenwinkle]

What a show brilliant 👏

[@MrGuvEuroman]

God I have such a crush on Roisin. ☺️ She is stunning!

[@CorvusCorone68]

you get stunned when you get hit to the head, generally with something heavy no i am not making a sly remark about her weight, whyever would you think that? i do agree she's easy on the eyes tho

[@Achronos100]

Some may disagree, but I love Nish. Ever since I first heard him on The Bugle, he's quickly become one of my favourite comedians.

[@annother3350]

He's a bit screechy but each to their own

[@AshArAis]

I like him because of the Bugle - and I think a lot of people who like him do because of the Bugle, from what I've seen. Good craic

[@steve17bf2]

Achronos100 watch him on taskmaster if you haven't already, at his best I think.

[@Achronos100]

I just discovered Taskmaster about 3 weeks ago. Binged the entire series over a week. It's amazing, and Nish was a great contestant.

[@nelsonricardo3729]

Nish is great.

[@bradseeker]

googled chris kamara to see how old he is and one of the first things to pop up was a story about someone denying to take his seat on a train

[@andrewtaylor6298]

I came for the Kumar, I stayed for the Kamara!

[@dlon4539]

He's naturally funny. Reminds me of my Dad RIP

[@markxist]

Ditto. Roisin all the way

[@Tamashi88]

Love Nish asking Bread of Papadoms

[@DanGolag]

I'm not a huge fan of Roisin or Nish as comedians, but they both make great audience members. They don't take themselves too seriously and seem to genuinely enjoy other people's jokes without trying to one-up them or segue into their own material.

[@CorvusCorone68]

they're good at the bants, too bad you can't make a career out of being good at bants

[@TheOriginalMoc]

i think Kammy was having a senior citizen moment

[@SPgirl777]

TheOriginalMoc I think him and frank just smoked a fatty in the green room before the show lmao!! 🍃💨😎

[@Ricimer671]

I stopped offering my seat to women when I was told, quite rudely "I am quite capable of standing thank you!" by a "lady".

[@nickoforesta5788]

Chris Kamara is a national treasure

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

Absolutely hilarious.

[@burgersbeansandchips]

That explains so much about Chris

[@distantcoff7391]

13:50 of?

[@puirYorick]

A decent interest in fine cars is expected but I can't understand the guys who turn it into rocket science when they aren't employed in the auto industry. I worked among guys who would display their arcane knowledge of engine and transmission combinations by model year of various Japanese and Korean brands. I don't mean the specialist models alone. They would talk about the common models as well in nerd-tastic detail. They knew nothing comparable about the female anatomy but could recite the exact hardware needed for installing a brake system upgrade kit on a certain Honda down to the nuts, bolts and washers. A model they didn't even own or strongly aspire to own.

[@longago3649]

Roisin, you are someone's ex-partner. Hmmmm....be careful what you wish for.

[@isabellaangeline2175]

2:26 What!? Frank totally gave a different answer when someone else mentioned their dislike of cars in a different episode. He loved cars then.

[@99Plastics]

This thing may blow your mind, but people can change their minds on things.

[@hardrockinhere]

Roisin lost a lot of weight!

[@hawkpaul8735]

Right on the button straight out of the gate. A car is a tool. You may as well get excited about a new hammer.

[@roryrory5047]

Some people do

[@Budehgong]

have you ever gotten a good hammer?

[@user-zj2kp7mm7x]

SIIIIIIIIMPP

[@goldenpony3460]

Bread @restaurants... what a disgusting middle class problem! And am happy to have it.

[@LudvigIndestrucable]

A perfect example why you shouldn't invite someone who's main skill is kicking balls onto panel shows.

[@royfr8136]

Virtue signaling.....I’m such a great person

[@inkmaster5480]

Literally nobody on the show did that. The closest thing was saying that you should stand up for women on the train, which used to be a thing that was considered rude by the general public.

[@shyone968]

save the planet Ban racing

[@Brokenscam]

The episodes for this show as of late have been terrible; episodes 1-3 were great and then everything after that has been disappointing.

[@preacherbill]

Nish Is not funny.

[@katiemiaana]

Chris is hilarious, I really think people need to get a life moaning that he is sexist. Wtf?
