Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2021 | Full Episode

Jimmy Carr hosts as celebrity quizzers James Acaster, Sara Pascoe, Jonathan Ross, Judi Love, Guz Khan, and Sarah Millican go head to head.
#bigfatquiz #britishcomedy #fullepisode
Teams:
Glow in the Dark Ghosts - James Acaster & Sara Pascoe
JJ Bringing Bling - Jonathan Ross & Judi Love
The Oblivious Two - Guz Khan & Sarah Millican
The 2021 edition aired on 26 December 2021.
Pre-recorded questions came from Dr. Catherine Green (one of the University of Oxford team responsible for developing the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine), Robert Peston, Clara Amfo, Ellie Simmonds, Andi Oliver, Briony May Williams, and Downton Abbey: A New Era's Elizabeth McGovern and Laura Carmichael. The children of Mitchell Brook Primary School acted out the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction. Charles Dance read from the autobiography of Alison Hammond. Jackie Weaver of the viral video of a Handforth Parish Council meeting appeared in the studio to ask a question. The mystery guest was Adam Taylor, the owner of the Aberdeen nightclub where Michael Gove was filmed dancing.
The final question was the normal Big Fat Question but with a time limit set using the Young-hee doll from Squid Game, with any team failing to finish writing each answer before the doll's head turns back around being docked five points.

Seeing James Acaster genuinely smile is a real treat.

[@barrybaarsma]

its AI sorry

[@simonvanderheijden432]

Him being scared of a doll was a treat for me.

Hearing him being funny would be a first.

“Don’t you ever leave me dear cousin, or I’ll do the same” i remember this episode being exactly what the world needed post “bin fire” year

I miss Richard Ayaode and Noel Fielding!

[@colinwilson4609]

I once texted my best friend and confessed that I aspired to be the white Richard Ayoade. He texted me back from Japan and wrote that he always considered Richard Ayoade to be "the mulatto Colin Wilson". This is why we are best friends.

[@captainunderpants200]

I'd love to see James Acaster playing The Doctor as the same chaotic neutral character he is here, goading his foes into doing whatever the most hilarious thing could be, and that's what eventually defeats them.

As an American from the states, I love that Guz called Bernie Sanders "the cold uncle".

[@matthewheaton9700]

An American? From "the states?" Really? Lol

The uncle thing is a south east Asian thing, I believe. Any man who is your elder is "uncle", I believe as a sign of respect.

People complain when we call ourselves Americans because we’re not the only country in the Americas. People complain when we specify we’re Americans from the US. I’m beginning to suspect the rest of the world just might not like us very much.

"I'm not a cat," Jackie Weaver & Jimmy saying "nuttin" were the highlights for me. Great panel, especially Acaster, but I do miss Richard & Noel.

[@rbfoster]

I’m here after going down a long dive that started with the Great British Bake Off on Netflix.

[@KatQuinn-gn8lz]

For me, the perfect panel would include Richard Ayoade, Noel Fielding, Jack Whitehall, Claudia Winkleman, David Mitchell & Greg Davies.

[@bjornolson6527]

Skip Whitehall for Campbell? Or Alan Davis? 😊

[@Debbie-st4nn]

​@@bjornolson6527oh god please not Alan Davis. He's not funny at all

[@nybbleme]

​​​@@Debbie-st4nnhumor is subjective, and he's definitely entertaining on Quite Interesting... He acts like a goof but it's to help get the other panelists more comfortable and more willing to open up and risk getting the 10-point penalty. He was also a pretty fun contestant to watch on taskmaster.

[@nybbleme]

I got to see Sarah millican live which is surprising because I'm in the US and she came through Atlanta and it was so awesome getting to see her do her thing in person. WORTH IT! Only regret is I was too shy to speak up when she asked what the craziest thing someone did during the pandemic was. I went grocery shopping in an inflatable dinosaur costume.

Jonathan isn't crazy for his answer of a singer peeing on a fan but it was Sophia Urista not Shakira. She did it on stage at a concert after saying she had to pee

[@nybbleme]

Jonathan got retroactively called out for his creepy rape comments from a prior year featuring Noel and Russell brand, and then in the latest big fat quiz episode he over-shared a disturbing detail about getting dog penis hairs in his mouth while in bed. Hope we never see him again cuz I'm thinking he's just gone far to peculiar and maybe shouldn't be on TV anymore...

That lawyer with a cat face gave me a good laugh until I found about that man's absolutely terrible record as a lawyer and a person in general.

[@daniellarge9784]

Agreed. Did a bit of digging and he is a total asshat. Dishonest, disingenuous, malicious, creepy, misogynist. He swatted the woman he'd been stalking for years. Set the police to raid her shop and the poor woman went to jail for no good reason. The lawyer from Breaking Bad, Saul, has better ethics.

[@kimhewer1479]

James would be so good at Bond! 😂

[@pbfamous07]

what has jimmy's hair become. goooood grief!!!

[@natmickan]

It’s me. I’m the ‘cheesie’ that would appreciate the HECK out of that cheese grotto. Rationale: I like to have a variety of cheeses on the go so I can compare them. I’d love to taste every cheese type before I die, but my partner doesn’t really care about cheese (although he doesn’t like the smell). I hate the cheese sweat & textural changes that comes with plastic wrap or leaving it uncovered, and because it’s mainly just me having the ‘fancy’ cheeses, I go through them kinda slowly…more slowly than the cheese can survive in the fridge. Extra fridge life would mean I get my cheeses (but don’t have to race to finish them to stop them going to waste), and my partner wouldn’t have to deal with cheese smell every time he goes to the fridge. NGL, I’m considering making myself one after seeing this 😅

[@JaydenWorth]

Jimmy went in on "similarily aged" and not "Japenese toys."

[@JaydenWorth]

oh wait thanks James

[@JeighNeither]

Actually, & I know this from experience as a collegiate sprinter, but you wanna get down before your event, not after, because it puts you in a stress-free mentality and you release endorphins that can be beneficial for your race performance or whatever event you're doing.

[@cnmcginn1981]

I have two thoughts.... 1. Are the Mitchellbrook kids trying to put on a real production, or do they know it's being used in these? I really hope it's the first one. LOL. 2. Who else needed oxygen when Judi asked "So, do we answer these questions?"

[@kevinw712]

have you ever noticed there's never actually an audience for those plays? yes, it's done purely for this sake of this show lol the best was when somewhere back around 2010 when Sean Locke was on, just absolutely ripping into the kids for being total shit at it. and I'd never really thought before this given year about the idea of local parents fighting to get their kids into that school JUST to get featured on BFQ, but it's pretty funny

[@nybbleme]

It's not the first time Judy has feigned ignorance of the format of the show she's on as I've seen her on would I lie to you and taskmaster and a few others. She's definitely acting clueless for laughs.

[@nybbleme]

​​@@kevinw712fun fact, they usually do the Mitchell primary school plays super early on in the quiz so the kids can stay up and see themselves on TV before their bedtime.
