[@ButtChinsAreHereToStay]

There is now huge a battle going on in my head for the award of dull spice.

[@thebolsta]

After watching this I can't really blame Christian.

[@davemaxey6590]

Frank Skinner is hysterically funny almost every occasion I've seen him.

[@abegarfield7031]

Read his autobiography. You'll tear a stomach muscle.

[@thephoenix3155]

I like Adam Buxton!

[@aquablushgirl]

Don't we all.

[@chenzenzo]

I want to say nonsensical terrible things about him, on the off chance that he reads these comments and uses it for a bit. He is pretty cool though.

[@enossified]

He's got a bit of a drink problem, though.

[@cardiffwilly]

Stephen!

[@francesT5877]

I love Adam Buxton!

[@NxDoyle]

Not enough Buckles.

[@mcsuibhne005]

That's DR Buckles!

[@daniellewalker1137]

My mum takes it one step further and hands me the phone to talk to someone already on the line with no warning. I love her a little less every time.

[@zeandean79]

Totally agree

[@joepbailey]

did Geri forget this is supposed to be a comedy show

[@Muckers.]

Adam Buxton's one on that first one had me in stitches.

[@frankbrodie5168]

I'll give Geri the pen not working thing. To the point that now as a middle aged adult with enough sense to spend money on what is a cheap item to buy, I actually make sure to ALWAYS have a pack of 50 biros sitting in a drawer so I absolutely know that I have a working pen to hand at all times.

[@kae11pll]

oh my god...when Geri started explaining the marathon bits...I just couldn't anymore...so painful to watch. She's taking everything on the show so literally like she's been living under a Spice rock!

[@lunellkruger2981]

yes! Also her shirt is very cool.

I never thought I would laugh at the statement “ it would be great if there was the occasional Hitler”

[@willsilverside9369]

Geri Horner patronisingly saying, “very good” to professional comedians the few times she understood a joke.

[@roldoxc2094]

Katherine was funniest overall, but a bit rehearsed. Adam was naturally the funniest. Geri doesn't seem as comfortable in this kind of environment anymore (and isn't funny anyway), intent instead on nurturing her image as one of the country jet set.

[@sandymack9345]

Yes,no,ohh I don't know❓

[@dentoncrimescene]

You are too hard on yourself Bukules. You were great.

[@leemorris3222]

When Geri said to Katherine you want to try it sometimes I think she was on about being nice not running a marathon anyone else pick up on that.

[@davidrouson3116]

Geri just doesn't get it, I'm afraid.

[@aquablushgirl]

It is scary how thick one person can be. She understood nothing.

[@chelsealee9459]

Katherine Ryan was great here

[@haberdasheryandspam]

Phone calls are an ambush, awesome comment

[@davidlockwood7178]

I cant watch adam buxton in anything without seeing him as his IT crowd character

[@Ya_Mosura]

I heard he was the last person to sleep with Jen.

[@kelvynification]

Geri seems like a lovely person who is a little out of her depth here. Let’s not forget she’s a singer not a comedian. Katherine uses a lot of her act in talk shows which can get a bit repetitive sometimes.

[@michaeljenkins7024]

It's as if Geri's a robot made by a giant company that for some reason wants to spread the concept of boredom.

[@mikewilliams258]

Michael Jenkins Ironic you should say that. I almost fell asleep reading your comment.

[@Irishgui83]

@L Narcissus I like her, but I'll agree with this. Totally different person to what she was back then. And not just in a "she's matured and grown up" kind of way, just like a completely different personality, voice, sense of humour etc

It's like when Larry Hagman was on Shooting stars. I'm sure he's aware of sureal humour but he just didn't seem to get it.

[@johnmjones1604]

wow you learn a lot about cellb's and their real personality on this show

[@dazmagive]

Geri would want to get a sense of humour.

[@littlemisseatscrispsforbre5353]

Absolutely, a total fun sponge. She is in the same league as that mel b one, another boring tool bag.

[@Isleofskye]

She seems in a permanent state of bewilderment at what is going on at anytime.

party on! excellent!

[@iamdb1990]

12:24 man, if only she'd got through it without laughing

[@TheFreeBass]

Disappointed by Katherine; when Geri asked "Have you ever tried it?" I was fully expecting her to reply "Being nice?"

[@aquablushgirl]

Geri is so earnest. It is meant to be a bit of fun.

[@jackanderson9504]

That laugh at 23:08 lol

Geri Horner... obviously a nice lady. Also, monumentally thick.

[@jasrust]

Thicker than Barry White's turd on Boxing Day.

[@winzracingNZ]

That ginja spice hasn't laughed in fourty years

[@danytargaryen7063]

As an introvert I absolutely agree with Katherine. I hate talking on the phone and would much rather text and thankfully there's not much need for phone calls anymore because we can email and text people. I even schedule my medical and salon appointments through text and email now. It's just so much more convenient and nice.

[@Widdekuu91]

I, on the other hand, really rely on people's facial expression and hate it when I have to decipher their text. Especially if it's a touchy subject, like; 'Hey, do you mind if I arrive 15 minutes later, there's still plantpots that I need to take down, before it starts storming." You can get back; Sure. (annoyed?) Sure... (definitely annoyed) Sure! (probably not annoyed.) Sure (in a rush? Probably not annoyed.) Et cetera. Whereas if I just press the phone, put it on my shoulder, cramp up my neck in order to hold it and then walk through the room and starts speaking as if they are there; 'Heyhey, just wondering, would you mind?' they go; 'Oooohh ehm, well, no, I don't think so, good of you to let me know, I have to put those down as well, was the storm a big bother to you? Oh I forgot to ask, how is the dog doing?' And then you go; 'She's alright, but she doesn't like storms. There is a funny video though, I'll show it to you in a minute, I- oh..I have to hang, sorry, well, see you within an hour! Byebye!' There's a lot more nuance, you can hear if they are annoyed or not. Interpreting XD or X'D or XP is a lot different from hearing if there is a malicious laugh on the other side or a friendly one. And they can immediately hear your response and say; 'Oh sorry, I didn't mean to laugh about that', if you didn't like them laughing.

[@annother3350]

But sometimes you just need a piece of information from someone asap -- 'did you buy thise tickets as I've just found a cheap website', what colour was the dress you're wearing to the wedding as I'm trying some on now. The last thinkg you need is katherine being a grumpy bastard because you had the 'temerity' to call

[@pukeyourguts]

geri looks better than she did back in the day wtf

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

I thought she was cute till I saw this. She's sooooo boring.

[@purplemonkey6178]

I actually feel quite awkward and embarrassed watching Geri....she just doesn't get it

[@robertoenduro9439]

It seems child birth has taken all the life and humor out of Geri...

[@frankbrodie5168]

I live in a posh village with half a dozen different actual shops that sell alcohol. (not counting the further half dozen licensed pubs/eateries) Yes really, an actual village with that many shops that sell beer over the counter. Welcome to Brexit Britain! And God Bless it! And trust me when I say this, I do the rounds of these shops, and buy my beer supplies from different shops on differing days/weeks/months whatever. And NOT ONE person in these shops or indeed customers of said shops, would dare comment to me "bit early isn't it.." as Adam joked about at 9:40 The village petrol garage come small supermarket is the earliest opening shop we have here. It opens at 5am. And I regularly visit said establishment at that time for a beer run if I've just spent a night on the old PC for a video game marathon.

[@brendanm6921]

You do know that we weren't living under rules of prohibition with the streets being controlled by moonshine producing mafia men with sharp suits and tommy guns before Brexit, right? People in this country have been able to walk into a shop and buy a case of beers long before Brexit. But I wouldn't expect a gammon who can't even tell when somebody's being sarcastic on a comedy show of all places, to have that level of awareness.

[@joshuawoods7775]

Has Geri been lobotomized?

[@johnallen7443]

Not yet!

[@jasrust]

In about 1989.

[@ruthalber6169]

[@KhanivoreQniba]

Totally get why Geri left, she was likely kicked out for her incessant talking and challenging everyone on everything.

[@Irishgui83]

Leaving and being kicked out are two different things, so your comment contradicts itself 😂

[@iamdb1990]

[@qwevor]

As a person who just watched this for the first time, I've managed to grasp the point of the show. Geri however, seems to miss it completely and is a complete snooze fest. Judas priest lady, do us all a favour and turn down the invitation the next time to be on the show.
