Set 5, Game 12 [04.07.22] - No More Jockeys with Alex Horne, Tim Key + Mark Watson

[@NoMoreJockeys]

♫ In Canada 🇨🇦

[@scottbbaird]

Watching from Calgary, actually. Can confirm that the mouse doesn't squeak here.

[@anthonyi7284]

@@scottbbaird I do wonder if this is the same mouse as seen in previous episodes of No More Jockeys

watching from Hogtown; can confirm, mouse doesn't squeak.

[@ladiesdays]

Speaking from Toronto, the ladies do often speak tho

[@callumstubley9265]

Amazed at Watto’s justification that his top is too short “because he bought it today” - the only day, when you think about it, that a top should be a perfect fit

[@drawnimo]

your tops dont grow downwards as they age?

[@gabriellag2611]

@@drawnimo Do you not pay your cutlery?

[@andrewforbes1433]

I suppose it's a case of Mark shrinks by a shirt size every day.

[@pooroldnostradamus]

At the risk of raking up some old leaves, clothing can stretch from wear and tear until the skin beneath the top is no longer bare.

[@oceaux2392]

Upon hearing the "3 letters that go into an item of clothing" category, I have never been so sure of anything before that Key would end up walking on that. Bless that man.

[@karltaylor4731]

What is Watto trying to tell us? He is clearly emphasising both Kitchen Conversions and the small triathlon top that he bought today. It's like watching a hostage video.

[@JohnHazl]

In Slough?

[@BudBonkerson]

Wonder if his keepers are interested in the prawn curry

[@birth0fserpents]

most deranged i've seen Watto thus far. not even blinking when being told to Tell the Corridor. absolute scenes

[@leona6455]

Not a natural rule-breaker is old Watto, is he? 😆

[@emdentaylor1110]

absolutely steaming in this he is

[@PaddyRoon7]

Love when Key fights a challenge to the death, is clearly wrong but limps on to hear a second challenge, to which he responds by walking instantly lol. Also did it with Desert Orchid, challenged for being on a circuit, limped on, challenged for having a muscle body, insta-walk

[@gryrabild]

I’ll see you guys Downtown, cheering and hollering for Key! 🗝

[@maxwesterman5613]

I'm left feeling slightly unsatisfied by the teased Kitchen Conversions game that never materialised. Over.

[@Aliasalpha]

Come on Key, 3 straight sets and you're a champ!

[@drawnimo]

he was 100% right re: crackle. thems just guys in suits.

[@Aliasalpha]

@@drawnimo Yeah mascots aren't really acting, just being organic advertising

[@Rosalind-butNotThatOne]

@@Aliasalpha They are, however, what you might call "portraying."

[@BodywiseMustard]

LOVE Benny Wong as a name-another. Great actor

[@NoukSilver]

When you think about it, considering the lads' fashion choices over the years, it's not surprising they don't know who Karl Lagerfeld is.

[@Sumaleth]

Two fun callbacks to NMJ in the latest Taskmaster: 1. Alex says "a big if" at one point 2. I recognise that vacuum cleaner :)

[@mytube001]

And the pronunciation of "alluring"!!!

[@MeredithWhitfield]

when he said 'big if' in that live task, i shrieked

Rules adjudication question: Does the "name another" person also have to avoid all of the existing categories?

[@haiminh_]

Rules adjudication answer: no, they don't

[@bearhustler]

Here we go, will Watto take it this week. I want him to win but I don't want the set to end, let's take it Downtown !

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

The first three categories legitimately gave me anxiety. Tough start to this one!

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

...Love that Tim said nearly the same thing just after I posted my comment

[@CK-ceekay]

Crackle has definitely crackled (his main activity) in Canada

[@sackclothandashes998]

Looks like we’re going, to your friend and mine, downtown, and I don’t mind it one bit

[@ljgreene3999]

Glove Cravat ! Excellent look.

[@mrSam3ooo]

so many laughs this ep i hope Key comes back

[@Peteroranje]

I think they will have him back for the next one, yes ;).

[@bazh6041]

Delighted to have the set go down town, but in utter disbelief that Watto walked on collar... one of the lightest dismissals in recent memory. Still, good game, high quality lattice, looking forward to more of the same next week. Stick it up your arse & hope for the best.

[@musical3lottie]

Vicars aside, you can get crochet patterns for collars, and I know people sew their own so they are a legit distinct item in the same way that a tie or cravat are.

[@prinpi]

I can't believe I'm backing Key for once 18:15 "Playing someone" implies a scripted performance.

[@TetrisH8er]

Key never used the word "play" when he gave his category he used the word "portray". And if one was to be really pedantic about it, a portrayal doesn't even have to be alive, as the sculpture Venus de Milo is a portrayal of the roman/greek goddess Venus/Aphrodite

[@alicewismath6650]

I can't squeak for the mice, but we girls in Canada definitely do speak!

[@sebzilla89]

A query: Are "name another" people up for challenge? As in do they have to fit in all pre-existing criteria, or are they purely a clarification on the new category?

[@hedgeyhogs]

I believe that, when you think about it, they're only for clarification and don't need to fit the other categories. Although I've never really thought about it before.

[@TetrisH8er]

The "name anothers" are there to test/show that you actually ruled out a significant amount of people, so that it actually narrows it down, and not just by one person. For example if a player said "Mel Gibson: No more actors named Mel Gibson" the next could say "Bruce Willis: No more actors named Bruce Willis" and the game would go on forever. The "name anothers" don't have to fit all the preexisting categories, that would make the game very, very hard, as you would basically always have to think of at least two persons per round that aren't ruled out yet.

[@michaelbartmeier9016]

🎶 Ninety seconds, you’ll find a photo they’re holding a spade. John. 🎶

Spolier alert... I hope so too

[@NoukSilver]

@@ben1210 Not gonna lie, this made me google if there was a French word 'spolier'. Spoiler alert: There is. It's 'despoil', which I just learned, isn't the same as un-spoiling something. Thank you for watching 'Laughing and learning BTL'.

Absolutely missed opportunity to play some Elgar music in the background of this one.

[@andrewmunro8830]

[@PaddyRoon7]

Absolutely mad walk from Watto. There's no way a collar is its own individual piece of clothing, it's part of a shirt

[@jfda-]

gotta love a man in a semi crop top

[@daupomatic]

I love it when the lads are pissed, but the play in this vital match was quite loopy.

[@VinceCaramel]

I'd love to purchase (and then own) a mug or tee or fridge magnet or baseball cap or bottle opener or coaster or cycling jersey with the phrase "show me the script" upon it.

[@mcswiss87]

I did not expect to hear Runcorn straight away hahaha

[@joshlinnett2997]

Knew straight away the Keenan category would come back to bite Key. He does tend to struggle to think about the implications of what he’s saying, unfortunately.

[@leona6455]

That, in a nutshell, is Key's main problem...

[@sunkhunt9748]

Sideways, Watto... One spoon on the nose, vertical. Two spoons on the eyes, horizontal. You're a combined 180 degrees from achieving your goal. At the moment, you're just sticking cutlery into your face holes.

[@veganjackson]

Wonder how Key and Watto would get on in the Horne Section? Because if this is their audition I don't think the boss is gonna go for it.

[@ob2395]

Big if.

[@dfluff]

I've seen Key be the guest comic on early Horne Section stage gigs, and it was always a chaotic delight... Signature move was to precariously balance an open beer bottle on the edge of the ride cymbal at the start introducing high tension early doors

[@DynamiteBobby]

Gareth Keenan is massive and he ain't made of plastic

@@NoukSilver generally no, but it is sort of clothing adjacent. Not much further than a tie or a collar.

@@jameswoodish I think you are underrating the clothingness of ties and collars

[@jdillon695]

Can someone help me understand the “no repeated letters” category? Almost everyone they said after had a repeated letter? What am I missing?

[@julia_clifton]

the category is 'no more people who have no repeated letters in their name' which meant everyone they then named had to have a repeated letter

So nobody who has a silent role is 'portraying' a character. Worst since Hogan.

[@britishhedgehog]

Nah I'm with key. If they didn't have the big heads on then I'd walk but that's a costume, not a person being the character

[@bearhustler]

@@britishhedgehog So the people in costumes in some Disney musical aren't portraying characters ? Even if you go to something like Disney land the Big Head people pretend to be the characters for kids. (I don't mind Big Heads)

[@cipherhex]

@@bearhustler I think Key's point that the big head Disney characters in your example would count, due to the 'musical'. Whereas, these crackley lads weren't being portrayed in any piece of fictional artwork (stage, TV, film, commercial, opera, etc). Hence it was nothing more than a dress-up and jolly. For instance, if I stuck play-doh all over my body for Halloween, surely that shouldn't count as Morph being portrayed by a human.

[@britishhedgehog]

@@bearhustler they're not portraying human characters. The big head outfits aren't human. They're either a) over sized so not human or b) snap, crackle and pop are pixies anyway not humans
