The 2022 edition aired on 26 December 2022.
Pre-recorded questions came from Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Luke Evans, the Sugababes, Ellie Goulding, Kate Hudson, Layton Williams, Sigrid, and Jamie Oliver. The children of Mitchell Brook Primary School acted out the Wagatha Christie court case for a related question. Millie Bright appeared in the studio to ask a question.
Subwoolfer also appeared in the studio in relation to a question. Charles Dance read an extract from the autobiography of Rylan Clark. The mystery guest was Jerry Dyer, the creator, and narrator of the KZbin channel Big Jet TV, whose livestream of planes attempting to land at Heathrow Airport during Storm Eunice went viral.
The Big Fat Question was a three-part question asked by Johannes Radebe, who was dressed as a US Air Force pilot and 'parachuted' into the studio in honour of Top Gun: Maverick, the year's highest-grossing film.

"It makes me furious that people enjoy themselves at the cinema." "Well you've done a great job at stopping that." Goddamn... leveled.

[@notoriouslybratty]

Does Richard applaud Stephen’s story? He listens attentively but hardly comments on it. Why the weird title?

[@NextSundance]

would you have clicked on "Richard Ayoade Listens Attentively To..."

[@notoriouslybratty]

Maybe “Stephen attacks two boys in a theatre” come on, make your clickbaiting titles something that (while exaggerated) actually happened 😂

He was applauding what Stephen merchant said before telling the story around 9:30 in the video

[@peejay6930]

Merchant's "love island is like a ghost, I've never seen it, but I know people who say they have" was brilliant

[@jailcatjones3250]

Id watch a film starring Richard ayoada and Stephen merchant. They could be half brothers

[@tubeyhamster]

Stephen Merchant could have stood up slowly from his seat and towered over those boys, and I bet they would have cowered like he was the ghost of Abraham Lincoln.

Ah, I thought I'd heard the "where's a tsunami when you need one" line before. At least he didn't take someone else's bit, and use it in a stand-up special, like Ricky did with Karl's 'Give a goat to an African for Christmas' thought.

I also can't stand people in the theaters as of recent. It's like movie theater etiquette doesn't exist anymore as well as manners and respect.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Its time to make a stand

[@dontcallmegus]

I had an almost identical experience to Stephen Merchant. I went to see The Return of the Jedi in a theater two years ago and a couple of teenagers sat right in front of my wife and I and talked at full volume the whole time while I sat there just steaming because I couldn't focus on the movie at all. When the movie ended, I said to them "Hey, did you guys like the movie?" And they said they did, and I said "Maybe next time, you'll shut the fuck up during it," and walked away. Stephen and I are apparently just a couple oflike-minded old, bitter, grumpy men - assholes, in other words haha. I was 33 at the time, for reference.

[@stewmott3763]

Bravo! Years ago, a friend of mine asked the two people sat behind us to be quiet during the movie multiple times, getting slightly angrier each time. Finally he just turned round and poured his super-size Coke into their laps. I spent the rest of the movie a little bit terrified, wondering if he'd lost his mind. When I asked him about it afterwards he cheerfully explained that if you pour your drink on someone, they have to leave the screening so they can get it cleaned up - problem solved! I don't know if that's less scary or more so. Personally, I just ask people to stop talking in the most stentorian voice I can muster. Oh, and if you can put on a Glaswegian accent, that also helps.

I often hear good comedians talking about how bad comedians go after applause instead of laughs. As someone who tends to only watch good comedians, I've never seen an example of this, until seeing Katherine Ryan in this clip, laying into Matt Hancock. I totally agree with her, but still, I came for the jokes.
