Richard Ayoade does some Big Fat Quizzing | 2016

Every Richard Ayoade-joke on one of my favourite BFQ-episodes!
If anyone feels offended or claim ownership to any of the sound or videoclips that I have used, leave a comment, and I'll take the video down. I do not mean to steal anything, and I'd rather just take the video down than get into trouble.

[@Megan-bt9pm]

I adore the chemistry between Noel and Richard. You'd never think they work so well together based on how different their styles are, but that's WHY they do. Love it

[@sarahm5951]

They're also close friends in real life.

[@SuperMiley1994]

megers67 They’re bffs

[@MichellePradhan]

Amazing in The IT Crowd together as well!

[@draquone]

It crowd, mighty boosh, garth marengii, etc

[@thequixoticangler3364]

It's a classic dynamic. A sardonic straight man with a vicious wit with an aloof goofy type. Andy and Barney from The Andy Griffith show were a good example as well. Richard is a revelation. Found him last night. Watched 4 hours last night. Still crying from laughing. The Maltesers meltdown was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[@campbell953]

Jimmy’s job description is more kindergarten teacher than presenter

[@lunasorree7177]

have you seen the clip of russel and noel flinging pencils? basically a kindergarten class

[@skyiade7657]

noel and richard are my last two brain cells

[@logancasner8467]

ones giving up and one is still trying but has mixed emotions about the whole thing?

[@BugFinder217]

Don’t let the flame die out!

[@tomberry9200]

If they were your last 2 brain cells you'd be able to come up with a better joke than that

[@katkenobi6765]

This. Yes. Richard and Noel are my last 2 brain cells. EDIT: Let me add Howard Moon is my recently discovered 3rd brain cell.

[@redaaitrami4113]

Jimmy has as much control over the show as I have over my life.

[@hellstorme]

*anyone at all says anything negative about Noel* Richard: Cowabunga it is

[@r-robertson-d]

I love the quick cover of "we're trying" after Noel said "my semen is literally frozen."

[@jaywolf4824]

So Noel and Richard are married, Mel is Jack’s mother but they babysit, the cyborg is their dog and that sports guy was Richard’s dad. What an episodie

[@TheMintedAero1993]

[@JaneQPublic]

Don't forget that they share custody of Jack! 😂

[@jakejennings1239]

Sorry that sports guy? That’s Kammy! How can you disrespect Chris Kamara like that

[@Sebbir]

Jake Jennings123 because its sports. Who cares?

[@debeesuttles7373]

I’m literally a minute into the video when I scrolled down and found this and to be honest I can’t wait for the fuckin context jfc

[@laureneighmy3306]

Richard Ayoade has the most hilariously weird sense of humor and I love it. He's like a living British Gary Larson cartoon

[@doctorsuave]

Lauren Eighmy holy mackerel you’re right

[@victorym744]

"It was pre-language" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shinigami8068]

Ironic thay he lost to a geography question after being called a geographer teacher the whole time

[@BUFU1610]

In a way he is right, though. The question said "what *was* it called?", not "what is it called?"...

[@sharonmullins1957]

"I love you, Jack!".............."I'm right here"...................Richard Ayoade is too much.

[@toditoes1337]

Richard has the most likeable personality

[@itsnotworthit7178]

I've seen this episode so many times it's engraved in my memory yet every joke still lands and make me laugh Richard is a true comedian

“Let’s not start a full scale food fight” *full scale food fight ensues*

I love when Richard brings his weird little wife to the Quiz to help him roast everyone else

[@muditmalhotra86]

richard ayoade is the most british man i have ever seen in my life.

[@DavidAndrewsPEC]

And yet his mum's Norwegian and his dad's Yoruba Nigerian. :D Richard has a BA (Hons) in law from the University of Cambridge.

[@gz9975]

he is african

[@DavidAndrewsPEC]

@@gz9975 Yes. 'Yoruba Nigerian' is a proper subset on 'African'.

[@em_birch]

@@gz9975 He was literally born in London. Ancestry has nothing to do with nationality.

[@renablack6913]

You need a ladder to get to the top of your collar😂😂😂😂😂

[@autolynn]

I love how at 16:32 Richard and Jimmy are standing there in their suits. Richard looks like he's tired of the kids stupidity and Jimmy just wants to join them.

[@BadassRandomness]

I don't think Jimmy wanted to join in, he looked pretty annoyed throughout the whole food bit

[@ChefBrownSauce]

Richard and Noel did not hold back, I think this is the most savage I’ve ever seen them

[@chia8049]

I started laughing so hard at the food fight bit, hardest I’ve laughed in a while, I know these people will never see this comment but, I’ll take comfort in knowing there’s a possibility. Thank you for reminding me how it feels to laugh so hard you can’t breath.

[@hannahl8]

Noel & Richard are back for this year's quiz!!!

[@Abbadonhades]

Besides "Deadpan" in the dictionary, there really should be a picture of Richard Ayoade.

[@thihawin439]

“those are just his friends from prep school” 😂

[@momon969]

Guess what Rum-Tum Tugger was known for.

[@logandanielson7691]

I like that they kept getting mildly hostile with Jimmy. Noel getting snippy with him at like 13:08 makes me laugh

[@__-cd9ug]

Regarding that last question, I think it should have been "What *is* it called", and not "what *was* it called" because in that case Richard and the crow were the only ones with the right answer

[@blowdrolo]

richard standing up for noel is the fucking GOAT

[@christinerosenwald5411]

When someone says "British" i automatically picture Richard. He's the most British I've ever seen....

[@peyton3974]

i think this one is my favorite episode

[@truediva18]

Richard and Noel won in 2013.

[@elizabethh767]

this loss for them has always devastated me

[@djinnsbetpools]

Figured Jack would be the one starting a food fight

[@samstone1445]

15:15 Jonathon Ross is right, there was actually a board game from 1986 called Orgy. What the heck even.

[@johnnypanic6493]

I saw it being sold in a charity shop a while back

[@tbz1551]

9:49 The rarest of breaks from Mr. Ayoade. I wonder who’s reaction threw him? Mel would be my guess.

[@HCMCDrives]

:) I think he made himself crack up. It was quality.

[@matthewogilvie9231]

There is, in fact, a board game called Orgy, where the players take the roles of nobles in Ancient Rome

[@lunasorree7177]

where can i find this game?

It’s recorded in a studio with a live audience. It actually adds to a lot of the Big Fat Quiz episodes

[@commentchannel2844]

Holy shit the host’s laugh gives me the creeps I can’t

It's because he's fake laughing. He laughs like a normal person when he actually cracks

[@eliobelio7033]

Why is jimmy Carr’s laugh so annoying?

[@abhijeet.kavia13]

Look at Chelsie all tense and uncomfortable.... Americans will never understand British humor. Also, british humor > American Humor. But, American stand up > British Stand up (if going best against best)

[@katnimphie7831]

If you watch the full special, she actually did a pretty good job with the British audience compared to most US comics on this show - she did better than Mel B and she’s British lol

[@ArtsWellnessCollective]

She's fine lol. Noel was hitting on her the whole time.

[@thecreaturezoid478]

It's not the humor itself that throws off the Americans that come on the show. It's the fact that the Brits don't have to censor themselves like we do here. Most of the times that Chelsea seems a bit uncomfortable or nervous is right after someone's dropped an f-bomb or made an explicitly sexual remark. She's not offended or made uncomfortable by what's being said, it's more that as an American actor, she's sort of programmed to our BS censorship laws. In America, saying any of those things would require a new take or for that part to be cut out. She's just having to replace her natural reaction of "oh shit, they fucked up the take", with a normal reaction to the joke told. That's not an easy thing to accomplish fully over the course of an afternoon. Compared to most Americans on British panel shows though, I think she held her own pretty well.

[@ChumpionTV]

Noel and Richard? quirky and lovable. Mel? repulsive, both in looks and personality.
