This show went from an authoritarian state to state of democratic rebellion into a communist utopia and then to a dystopia ending in a coup of one of the original revolutionaries. And I loved every second of it.

[@my0p1n10nsucks]

An allegory within a quiz show.

[@EfHaichDee]

Where was the communist utopia? lol. Do you even know what communism is?

[@Arcaryon]

@@EfHaichDee Was I speaking about reality? What is the definition of a utopia? Exactly.

[@EfHaichDee]

@@Arcaryon So your answer to my question is 'no, I don't know what I'm talking about, just threw a few words that sounded nice together'

[@Arcaryon]

@@EfHaichDeeIf that’s your takeaway, I don’t feel the need to fill the gaps a decent political and rhetorical education ( or even just a few hours of independent research ) could or perhaps should have already closed long ago. Good day.

[@ajmalibrahim8927]

Ayaode can

[@XxStonedKillerxX]

Ayaode can with ease, I havent seen a clip where Richard is left speechless, I cant think of a comedian who can. But I think that has more to do with Richards intelligence, he knows when he can pick a fight and make a few jokes and when he cant.

[@wolfie0890]

I did not expect Brydon to steal the quiz like this, having seen him before and not been wowed, but now it's one of the most memorable show-long bits. Amazing.

[@mr.manes88]

i think it's because there was no one who outshined him and was able to do more. the other time i saw him was when him russell brand was on it's really hard to get noticed and do something funny when he draws all attention just for breathing

[@Oreostes]

His style of humor kinda requires him to take over the conversation and make long thought out speeches and a lot of times show formats like this dont let him do that

[@qwertyTRiG]

He's tried it on QI a few times. He also did it on WILTY once, which is funny because there he subsequently did take over as host.

[@jaymercer4692]

I think Rob is an acquired taste. I never used to be much of a fan but recently I've been thinking he' actually really funny and genuinely a great host or guest.

[@spaceballs72]

Tbh Jimmy's also a good sport. He kinda did let it play out

[@operator0]

[@billyneville8579]

Richard, Rob, David and Jimmy have some of the best comedic timing out there

[@Elusive_Pete]

I love how much fun they're all having. One of the best moments in the show.

[@pandaboy5o]

To think none of this would’ve happen had Jimmy just given Richard and Greg the point.

[@LoriWolfcat]

😹😹 Rob was MADE to be a host! He’s the kinda host I’d watch. Not these celebrity hosts who just Try to be funny when they’re not. He can adapt to anything and he got great comedic timing that goes With whatever he’s on. Pure excellence.

[@Gogoroth2]

This was my favorite thing that happened in the history of BFQ so I'm glad that someone finally compiled it together

[@mitchweiner]

I love hearing Jimmy lose it when Rob speaks !

[@Grimlock794]

I don't know how many times I've watched this. Rob is so quick.

[@Roronoa2zoro]

He did a much better job of playing revolutionary at the quiz than Russell Brand did

[@Elitepear]

Russell was being an anarchist, but Rob was trying a power play.

[@DCdabest]

It's what you get when you know how to organise a revolution not meme about one ;)

[@josh0g]

More subtle about it. Enjoyed both though.

[@DrDespicable]

They just have different approaches - Russell is more overt, while Rob is bringing the system down from within...

[@lorijay3539]

I found Russell Brand as being really fu**ing annoying. For me Russell's 'revolution' was childish, unfunny and cringy where as Rob was more methodical and his 'revolution' had more substance and context, which made it more funny and enjoyable.

[@tufty1990]

Credit to someone for coming up with a new humorous take other than the rather tired ‘pretend we’re really stupid and give silly answers really earnestly’ that Richard and Noel pull off very well and no one else really manages

[@lhfirex]

[@johnrperry5897]

Fortunately for Jimmy, he is the only host in Britain who is as good as Rob, so his job is probably safe. Edit: Can't believe I forgot about Fry!

[@nocalsteve]

I've seen Zayn Malik play the harpsichord, and he really did deserve to take that bad boy solo.

[@bryannaing6316]

Jimmy really had me believing he was incredibly pissed by what was going on. Great acting on his part.

[@wasserperson]

I suspect by the end, the "cause fuck you dude" was a lot more genuine than the playing along that came before. Like, up until Rob actually took over the podium, Jimmy was treating it like a jaded school teacher letting the class clown jabber. "I'll let you mouth off as long as you stay in your chair, but you came up to my spot and now I'm going to flunk you because I'm the one with the grade book." Edit: on review, I had the sequence reversed. I stand by my overall interpretation but the thing that shifted Jimmy from "hah hah" to "fuck you dude" must have been more subtle.

[@sauercrowder]

For those who are not familiar with Rob Briton’s carrier: He attended the panel show WILTY as a contestant in series 2. During that episode he was quite the dominant character. A few months fast forward, the host of the show WILTY was sacked and Rob was hired as the host of the show as of series 3. This episode of BFQ is teasing that incident. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJupdIWhj9KEipY

This was exactly what I thought when Rob started his coup. He has a history of stealing the host part.

[@prollins6443]

They need to have Rob host this year. And just have Jimmy bound and gagged in the corner of the stage.

[@sirskinny]

i know its all a joke, and its super funny... but its also a really interesting microcosm of how insurrections happen. you have the wronged party whos issue becomes the 'posterboy' or rallying cry (Richard and Greg) the figurehead of the rebellion (Rob) the independent expert that points out flaws in the system (david) then the and the vocal in-sighted (claudia) rob used a small victory of subverting the quiz to rally everyone together until he finally made his coup... which is when rob ended the bit... I know it was in jest but it ticks all the boxes of how these things happen IRL

[@idc5309]

michael holmes very interesting

[@miteshkaladi8578]

Really cool!!

[@mr.manes88]

i had the same thought too and since it's a scripted show (i think), i wondered if the allegorical aspect was intentional

I remember Rob did a similar thing on Would I Lie To You when Angus Deayton was presenting and Rob was a guest panellist on David's team. It was like Rob became the presenter without Angus realising it! Maybe that was why Rob immediately became the presenter when Angus left the show!
