[@NoMoreJockeys]

Happy Christmas from everyone at No More Jockeys - thanks for watching our silly game. Be merry, and stay safe 🎄🎅

[@JamieCurrant]

Happy Christmas! And thank you for pinning your comments so I don't see any spoiler comments pop up on my screen

[@emilybitzel7242]

Not a creature was stirring, not even Key's mouse. Merry Christmousestache!

[@1998sophia]

Happy Christmas! Thank you for keeping us entertained with your silly game :) It's genuinly really appreciated

[@bondfool]

Happy holidays to everyone at NMJ. Thank you for making this year so much easier to bear.

[@jadebass9685]

Aww key has little flat mates 🥰

[@myrin265]

the way key struggles to get words out at 21:39 but each breath turns into another laugh is just magical to watch

[@desertawkward5876]

The most famous sack of all….. MERT AKSAC

[@jadebass9685]

Lovely! Don’t mind it They missed that one As he carries his name everywhere and so prob does his wife lol

[@pantherette113]

Happy to see a first time guest appearance being played immediately after being unveiled.

[@ByteMe619]

It’s the sort of thing to warm your heart on a cold December morn. Cheers.

[@Azeria]

First in-game mouse trapping, a joy to see!

[@bdrummond7102]

Intrigued to see which wild animal will be caught in Game 3.

[@callowclay3021]

For the names & beer mats category, covering the surname with the first name doesn't just mean names of equal letters, but also names where the first name is longer than the surname

[@simonlake_]

"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a..." Oh, bugger!

[@Rob10011]

Sara Clifton is the quality work we all gather in our hovels below the line to enjoy. No lazy “Postman Pat’s wife” business here thank you very much.

[@laurapolly5419]

Thanks for the laugh. I thought the same! Happy Christmas ⭐️❤️

[@sunilpatel2883]

As always, subtitles are incredible.

[@marskristin]

Seconded!

[@mrSam3ooo]

Thirded

[@emmajean8631]

“[SQUEAKS INQUISITIVELY]” is my favourite

[@DynamiteBobby]

I thought we were very close to "No more Job Sacks" there

[@Peteroranje]

Merry Christmas to all above the line, below the line and even on the line (Haiminh)! Thanks for great entertainment.

[@jameshopkins6841]

I'm flailing my little nuisance flippers around, what a Christmas Eve delight.

[@roosvervelde3180]

I just took a sip at 19:33, and almost died at 'Happy Christmouse'

[@andracatheduckking257]

I was feeling a little iffy about that last challenge until the scoreboard revealed that Eric's last name also has four letters

[@BeccaBee20]

I echo these sentiments.

[@bazh6041]

...and Watson could certainly have made more of the Colin Montgomery job glove(s) argument, but you could surely find footage of Montgomery adjusting his tee position or moving a leaf from the his ball. Fair result in the end.

[@nathan87]

as far as I'm concerned, that last challenge was completely legit. Don't know why Horne opposed it.

[@robsonneves6189]

Yeah, i think moving the banana shouldn't count, otherwise anyone that there is footage of them walking is off limits because they are moving their shoes and clothes

[@lui5gif]

@@nathan87 At 26:12 Key clearly states that the category refers to "picking something up and *placing it* within a yard". It was a shame they were in a rush, Horne had very solid ground to stand on

[@cilycwmmoths2565]

I saw Watto in Bath once - he had just run the Bath Half Marathon and looked in fine fettle. NMJ has helped me through another shitty year, along with Taskmaster and Key's books. Can't thank you guys enough. Keep on keeping on.

[@kirsty__29]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays. Hope everyone is safe and well. Thank you to everyone ATL,BTL and OTL for one of the best yet.

[@isaaaaca]

John West (1809 - 1888) was a Scottish inventor and businessman who emigrated to Canada, California and later Oregon where he operated a cannery and exported tuna to Great Britain. The Pelling Stanley and Company in the UK imported his tuna and paid for the rights to use his name, which led to the establishment of the use of "John West" as a brand name.

[@rossprocter-learnenglishes1077]

Did he have a mousetache though?

[@isaaaaca]

@@rossprocter-learnenglishes1077 can a man really meet a tuna?

[@Hendrixium]

Enjoyed seeing Horne’s brain break around 10:05

[@leileleileleile]

agreed!!

[@Aliasalpha]

Key should definitely adopt the mouse and name it Tashe

[@adamgough9333]

IMO "I got a snooker cue. And the rest" deserved more of a reaction. Although it does smell a little bit like prepared material, which is well established as a faux pas in NMJ. Fair. Play on.

[@living4ward2it]

Grateful for your jolly company!

[@justjoshingf1]

Big fan of the (woah-oh) Kitchen Conversions graphic, don’t mind that one bit!

[@itselisha222]

Some of the derangedest categories. Some of the derangedest challenges. What a game.

[@mrSam3ooo]

Love derangedest as an adjective

[@julianlineham]

Thank you for the fun. Happy Christmas to you all, and all BTL 🎄

[@Sim0n98]

Surely the sack doesn’t belong to Postman Pat, it belongs to the Royal Mail?

[@jadebass9685]

Royal Mail is privatised so I guess it’s kinda his by franchise now ?

[@scientapotentiaest4001]

It's a jobsack, if anything.

[@andracatheduckking257]

Damn, I just finished "He Used Thought as a Wife" yesterday and now Key has a mouse again??

[@stuffandthat157]

Sequel's just out Maybe there's a new mouse for the new book

[@andracatheduckking257]

@@stuffandthat157 you think it might have just been a marketing stunt?

[@gordonanderson2238]

This episode could be called "Three Guys, Three Cups"

[@gryrabild]

Happy holidays BTL and ATL! And thanks for the lovely live show the other day! Oh, and a speedy recovery to Horne and his poor eye 🩹🎄❤️

[@itsokay7989]

Happy Christmas everyone BTL and ATL! Good job for making it through 2021!🎄✨

[@joereynolds4602]

Merry Christmas from all of us here in Bath!

[@bearhustler]

Has anyone BTL had Branson knocking at their door yet ? He turned up when I was in the bath yesterday, very inconvenient.

[@effanineffables]

in bath? that would be a pain in the neck, for sure.

[@anthonyi7284]

I love that these are always live. No matter what time of the day I watch them, they are always live. I don't know how they do it, but I don't mind it

[@RiyaSDesai]

[@andracatheduckking257]

Cracked me up how quickly it went. Haimin truly is the unsung hero of this series (sorry if i misspelled that, i know you're in these comments Haimin) Edit: HAIMINH. It's in the description 😑

[@Kimberton149]

Happy Christmouse to all who congregate around The Line.

[@tom.lox.ralphs]

Does a mouse have a moustache has been the best christmas present.

[@kdpflush]

Etymology The word "moustache" is French, and is derived from the Italian moustacio (14th century), dialectal mostaccio (16th century), from Medieval Latin moustaccium (eighth century), Medieval Greek μουστάκιον (moustakion), attested in the ninth century, which ultimately originates as a diminutive of Hellenistic Greek μύσταξ (mustax, mustak-), meaning "upper lip" or "facial hair",[2] probably derived from Hellenistic Greek μύλλον (mullon), "lip".[3][4] An individual wearing a moustache is said to be "moustached" or "moustachioed" (the latter often referring to a particularly large or bushy moustache).

[@mathhits]

Merry Christmas BTLs!

[@philh5292]

Huge well done to Tim... for using a humane mouse trap. 👏 As an animal lover, I really hate the idea of killing any kind of animals anyway, but when there's humane alternatives I think it's even worse. Great to see a caring and ethical concern for saving the life of a mouse being rewarded so quickly.

[@drwoo6090]

I was so pleased! A happy humane New Year, to you! 😊

[@kellyg358]

Ahhhh...a merry episode indeed! Thank you guys and may you and all the BTLs have a wonderful holiday!!

[@johnjames2397]

Could NMJ become as much of a Christmas tradition as Chris Rea and Bauiiiiiuuuuullleeyyssss?

[@padraiglohan]

Merry Christmas above the line, below the lines, wherever you are!

[@bluejadeblue]

pleased to say i got the kitchen conversions question correct through blind luck,, happy christmas y'all!

[@speight88]

Merry Christmas to all you Yuletide Yappers BTL

[@JoQeZzZ]

Careless whiskers is the joke from this set!

[@leona6455]

I screamed at that bit

[@OthelloBoulevard]

Not the Guest Walk-On I expected but the door is now open. 🌜

[@el10t]

Snooker cue, and the rest. Severely under-appreciated gag I thought.

[@reindeer_skull8008]

Oh wow, first time I have stumbled on such a fresh one! Merry Xmas everyone!

[@desertawkward5876]

It takes some getting used to seeing Key at the bottom of the screen rather than, horrible phrase, top left corner

[@JonathanTarplee]

I’m late to this party but so far the Bath-Path and moustache-of-the-past have been a joy.

[@adambennett5306]

Merry Christmas below the line.

[@BethanyLowe8773]

6:56 "Horne to be poking out of a bin"... Be careful what you wish for.

[@jadebass9685]

KC Is back! And the change in background music is brilliant haha

[@ursulageorgeson7086]

16:54 is a tiny moment of brilliance

[@dustandcobwebs]

Pure festive joy with unanticipated rodent action. This show has literally everything one could ever want.

[@petergilbert7106]

Merry Christmas to all of the ATLers and BTLers. xxx

[@bigbaby496]

Merry Christmas to the Dolphins

[@andracatheduckking257]

Merry Christmas, nuisance penguins

[@iancockburn]

Eric's surname was Wimp (same number of letters as his first name).

[@harrycook9041]

Merry Christmas to all btl and atl ❤

[@kcolloran]

I understand why Horne had to walk, but not a Christmas game he's definitely digging in and deservedly so.

[@MichaelCoombes776]

16:55 is the strangest form of joke delivery I've seen for some time. Good fun! Also, great to see Penelope Pitstop back.

[@jadebass9685]

Merry Xmas boys!!! So happy to see these You bring me so much joy! I listen to the cast everyday and to fall asleep too! Can’t live without you three so thank you And enjoy the festivities Xxx

[@neilmeadowcroft7569]

"Okay, when you picture them... do they have a moustache?"

[@EllisThings]

No way whatsoever Horne should be walking on that. Other than that, incredible game, a delight.

[@laurapolly5419]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I laughed out loud throughout. Christmas Eve giggles. So needed this. Happy Christmas BTL ❤️⭐️xoxo

[@TheWaffleGoo]

That mouse definitely had a mouse tash!

[@allisoup]

Word of advice - eating while watching this is a choking hazard due to laughing and should be avoided. Pretty sure I inhaled more of my bite of toast than I actually managed to swallow. 🤣

[@lui5gif]

Same, I nearly died throughout the mouse bit

[@leona6455]

The unacknowledged 'careless whiskers' KILLED me!!

[@MR-ew6uw]

If it weren't for NMJ I would never have had a bitter household argument that led to the discovery that Barack Obama has an unusually large number of pictures of him holding sacks on the internet. God bless ye, merry gentlemen (and mouse!)

[@lais6299]

merry christ-mouse!!🎄

[@BudBonkerson]

Merry Christmas to all with and without job gloves

[@peacefulpaul]

Happy Christmas below and above the line. Made a lil donation to Crisis to say thank you. Thank you!

[@MrJunga]

Let's talk about sacks baby

[@Okan4233]

No more Christmases that aren’t at least a little bit merry.

[@jdes5247]

lets talk about sacks baby, lets talk about you and me …….

[@marcusmcmaster-float8430]

I'm 20 minutes in and this is a hall-of-famer

[@marskristin]

Happy holidays to all, over! (udder!)

[@philipyoungs]

Anyone else get surprised by Loki Doki's intro as the music underneath? About 1 min in?

[@chriskaprys]

16:55 fair play, Haiminh. 👌

[@Sam-wv4fz]

Goodness I laughed so hard at the beer mats bit.

[@bras2090]

Surely Key, and therefore the mouse, lives in a flat rather than a house?

[@ivaniavainavi]

The cumbia music in the background 💀😂

[@heidieaston3741]

Alex Horne in a Miami Dolphins hat...Lovely!

[@Reichieru1]

Should have walked for Ben Johnson. In the first image when I googled him, he had a moustache.

[@bearhustler]

When I think about it, it's a Christmas miracle ! Doesn't Oscar the Grouch have a girlfriend these days ? Grundgetta (just checked her name). Merry Christmas to all A and BTL

[@awalton]

New Mouscot!

[@JazzyBongo]

Whenever I hear the phrase "the man, the myth" I always end it with Noel Edmonds.

[@Zakuznapper]

Surely every man, unless a eunuch, owns a sack?

[@una_10bananas]

Very much enjoy "frontdrop"

[@BodywiseMustard]

A mouse may not have a moustache, Watson, but it very obviously has facial hair. It has hair covering its entire face

[@Swisswavey]

Happy Christmas all. I must confess that I thought about it before the challenge and I would not have walked for a job glove when the category was job gloves. But then I'm a pedant

[@ampersandcastle1091]

If the category was “no more people who wear job gloves” I would agree with you. However, as the category was “no more job gloves” this does not rule out the possibility of someone wearing a single jobby-G

[@bras2090]

The categories are always plural as they refer to many possible examples. E.g. santa: no more hats - you wouldn't need to name someone who wears two hats

[@Jnoooooo]

Merry Christmousetache

[@TannerLikesStuff]

only gonna call them mousetaches from now on

[@KunoSA1]

Merry Christmas to all, regardless of your status re lines

[@gretacwink8659]

Arrgghhh Horne could have kept that one if his parents had waited in the cold a little longer. Key said pick up and put down!

[@doodlefisher234]

Could have challenged the mouse on the category lives somewhere other than a house

[@emmafrost1210]

The mouse lives in Key's house

[@motoquasi]

1 cup = 7 dl? what a bad guess. are liters not at all in use in uk?

[@Kimberton149]

It would take a very complicated diagram indeed to explain the UK's measurement systems. Type of unit employed varies by age, location, and mindset of the measurer. Hence the major popularity of Kitchen Conversions - every British schoolchild's favourite game.

[@motoquasi]

Haha ok. Never knew about this before.

[@england6013]

I want to love this but don't understand it! Can someone explain the rules...? Then I can join in... Big fan of Mark

[@pandaitis4157]

On each turn, players name a person plus a relevant category - that person and category are then forbidden. If you're caught naming someone who falls under any previous category, you're out of the game.

[@flywithguy_]

Stand up, get it out

[@SerendipityChild]

What is the concept of this game? It clearly rests on categorisations but I don't glean the rules?

[@emmafrost1210]

The rules are in the description

[@EPM9000]

Key should’ve won regardless anyway as Bananaman’s name is Eric Wimp… beermats!

[@VonBlade]

28:40 What's the job of a golfer? To get the ball in the hole. When they're putting do they wear gloves? No.
