Set 4, Game 4 [11.03.21] - No More Jockeys with Alex Horne, Tim Key + Mark Watson

[@MillerMooseMan]

I thought I spotted a scandelous picture of Alex plastered over the front pages of the tabloids this morning! But after a brief double-take I can confirm that it was actually just the Health Secretary

[@paulrichards8496]

"Two or more sisters" joins "Photograph with a rabbit" as the ultimate lure categories.

“No blobbers” is fantastic. I’m from the US, born and raised a shitting blobber

Alex, when you think about it, is a solid gold legend this week

[@alwaysfades]

I forget where I've left my keys about eight times a day but I remembered immediately that Charlotte Bronte's dad was called Patrick.

[@brandyblackshear4470]

legit, I was like, "Wait, I know Bronte's dad's name. it is Patrick!"

[@TannerLikesStuff]

My TV turned off right after Key said “Penelope Pitstop” and I thought the poisoned chalice had completely ended No More Jockeys

[@drayts]

Glad Key didn’t play Pandora Pitstop so early, with a bit of trickery you can make Pan-Do-Rap-It-Stop

Surely, “Hi Penelope, what are you doing?” could EASILY be answered with “Pitstop”.

[@BethanyLowe8773]

Easily. Another one of Key's 'nine lives'.

[@ingl0rius]

I thought the same thing if I’m being honest

[@BodywiseMustard]

Absolutely not. How is that an answer? If the answer was "working in the pitstop" it would work.

[@noe9250]

“I’m doing pitstop?” I don’t think so pal

[@derf2205]

@Doov No not at all, you don't work in a pitstop, you have a pitstop. You work in the pit helping drivers with their pitstops.

[@audreyb.9371]

Seventeenth century musicians had the sonata da camera and the sonata da chiesa; No More Jockeys has songs of whoa and songs of hoy.

[@oceaux17]

My favourite thing about these solid gold legends is how they just immediately accept and incorporate each other's ridiculous nomenclature. KEY: "Nancy Kerrigan. No more people from that land mass - the north, south, central America. That whole blob... No blobbers... Nancy Kerrigan... no more old school blobbers." (later in the game) HORNE: "What was your challenge for Captain Rik? KEY: "American, maybe?" HORNE: "Blob, yeah."

[@savagehenry8286]

This slice of NMJs will forever be known to me as: The Man With The Golden Face. Unless, of course, it’s jaundice and I’m being unwittingly unkind to Mr Horne’s medical condition.

Having studied a bit of linguistics, precisely what a word is is a rather vexed question...

Looking forward to set 5 when they catch up with the latest Hancock news. "Nobody has 2 sisters" also an instant classic

'Average of six letters per name' is not the same as 'letters in name divisible by 6'. You could have 24 letters in two names (or three).

[@daupomatic]

Yes, I was surprised that wasn't better explored. Given name five, surname seven, that's an average of six.

[@PatrickJConnor]

Is it me or are there NO PICTURES of Ed the Duck with Philip Schofield! Certainly not in 90 seconds

I found a side-by-side composite in Google images with Phil and Gordon next to Andi and Ed, but fortunately it was recently established in case law (correctly imho) that this does not constitute a meeting.

[@carrots1550]

Disappointed that Aphrodite was waved through without a debate on the category "no more people who we know their father". According to Hesiod, she didn't really have a father, but was born of the foam produced when Ouranos's genitals landed off the coast of Cythera after having been severed by Kronos (Ouranos's son and Zeus's father). Of all the characters in Greek mythology to choose for that category, she's one of the most fraught.

[@nrtay]

Came here to find this comment. When he said it I was like wait, we famously can't name Aphrodite's dad hahaha

[@annaforsyth1021]

Captain Rik is an interesting one. He's an astronaut so not from space. I don't believe he has a stated nationality but since Ricicles were only sold in the UK and Ireland, I think you'd have to say he isn't a Blobber. Thoughts? EDIT: I've done the work. Just seen an old ad, English accent. No Blobber to be found here!

[@Rick-zv3xs]

Just came up with one for the first category! Steven Hawking. Hawking is a thing you can do!

[@atom_c]

The Whitty-Birmingham challenge would have been a cracker. Gloucester is 45 miles from Birmingham as the crow flies, though 55 miles by road so I can see Key squirming out

[@fashiongloves7273]

You can definitely ‘wall a bridge’. That’s a golden duck. Watson’s walking off with his bat under his arm

[@hannahgriffiths395]

i believe it's disputed, but wasn't aphrodite the offspring of ouranos (via the cutting off of genitals, etc etc)? meaning that category doesn't really work lol

[@pandaitis4157]

just what i was thinking

[@lajosgoell609]

Yes, according to Hesiod that's how she was conceived. Her mom just sorta being the sea, the Genitals were thrown into. Which would make her the Aunt of Zeus, him being a grandkid of Uranus through Kronos(who cutthe genitals off of Uranus in the first place). But after she became one of the olympic gods, Zeus adopted her as his daughter, which would legaly make him her dad. And since ones biological aunts dad is ones Grandfather, he technicly also became his own granddad. But i don't think that part of the narrative is ever explored. But according to Homer Zeus is just Aphrodites biological dad outright. So i'd say the category is fine, even if it is disputed, since they were able to name one of the people(if you can call Zeus a people) that is generally believed to be her father, biologicly or legaly.

Very strong game today, excellent performance by the boys. You can tell these guys want it. Delighted to see another top-tier performance by Key, there was a time there where I doubted he'd ever live up to his potential. Two Sisters is a classic wildcard category in the same lane as Left-Handed, you can imagine it of just about anyone so it's always going to be tempting to play it.

I found out recently that pilates was invented by Joe Pilates, which would've been a great 'name another' for the first category

[@vincentcampbell1780]

Presumably Horne meant Wayne Rooney was the premiership player? Only he's not. Key was so close to keeping the streak going there.

[@lajosgoell609]

Yeah I thought that as well, but he didn't specify that it had to be an active player, so it can be argued, that anyone that ever played in the premiership falls under the category. If you say only active players count then you are right, since there was no active player with the last Name rooney playing in the Premiership for the 2020/21 Season.
