If you look really closely at 2:35, you can see the actual moment when Noel Fielding became determined to get a job on 'Bake off'.

[@LQOTW]

I really enjoyed him on Bake-Off.

[@osmia5278]

"what, an american version of the Great BRITTISH Bake off? whats it called, Man vs Cake?" caused me to snort laugh.

[@tylergerald]

Yeah, the takeaway from this video is most definitely the American accent. Great job on the title to give a solid summary and preparing me for what is to come

As a non-native speaker I must say, he's so freaking difficult to understand. I don't get it how he got on tv with such poor articulation

[@rlGinjaNinja]

@@karinanemica5973 his articulation is generally fine. most of it is regional accent, and the w thing is a speech impediment i believe. i've always found him to be perfectly understandable, albeit as a non-british native speaker.

[@karinanemica5973]

​@@rlGinjaNinjaThat's W thing that I meant. Apart from W it's ok, but because of it he sounds like 'wewy wowowwy wiwly wow'. Listening to him I always have to calculate which of his Ws are real Ws and which are actually Rs :)

[@randomspiel]

@@karinanemica5973 A speech impediment isn't necessarily poor articulation...

[@MooImABunny]

I love how the guests just stop the show to talk about Jimmy knocking off Jack's donut, and how Mel just came prepared and shared her British bakeoff loot, and once they're done, it's back to the contest like nothing happened Edit: okay the food fight knocks it out of the park

[@Paul-nr6ws]

You do understand it's all scripted right? Or do you believe tik tok too

[@BuckyOhYeah]

​@@Paul-nr6ws how is this scripted? I'll give you a hint; it's not. Sure, the producers will know about anything that's going to appear on screen, but they don't know when, nor in what context it'll be used. There are no lines being fed... its not scripted.

[@LaneMaxfield]

@@BuckyOhYeah My understanding is it's not either/or. Often on these shows there are planned bits (if something uses a prop, like Mel's picnic's worth of baked goods, it's probably planned) but planned does not necessarily mean scripted - more like they know the bit is coming and they've rehearsed a few versions but they are ad-libbing the actual lines. Then there's Jimmy's intros and one-liners, which are 100% scripted. Finally, these people do work together constantly and study improv, so they know how to see an opportunity for a good joke and run with it, even if it wasn't planned. It's possible that, when planning the baked goods, somebody just cheekily said, "and of course we'll have a food fight later on," and nobody was sure whether it was a joke or something they would actually do until Jack Whitehall threw a muffin. It also might be genuine pure improv. Part of the skill with these kinds of live shows is being so organic and in the moment that the planned bits and the improvisation blend so seamlessly, people don't know which is which.

[@BuckyOhYeah]

@@LaneMaxfield so pretty much exactly what I said?

[@BuckyOhYeah]

@MadcapShambleton well yes. In that, I said they know about the props, but don't know what they'll be used for, nor when... I didn't mention that the monologue is scripted, but I didn't think I needed to. So, in fact, yes, we are saying the same thing. Don't be obtuse.

[@heatherg9423]

Jimmy: "Let's not start a full-scale food fight." Two seconds later, a full-on food fight starts. I blame Jimmy for this hilarious moment of cinematic history.

Theres so much better in this entire clip than the 10 seconds they devoted to American accents. Like the food fight? Or chris kamara being richards dad? 😂

[@orijimi]

I don't quite get how there can be so many new BFQs every year, and all this channel tends to put up is repackaged bits from years and years ago.

[@EXG21]

They do that so they don't "eat" into viewership of the new episodes. They show you old so you can hopefully go search for the new ones on their respective platforms. Also, they may have a certain amount of months or years where they cannot be used for anything else but their respective platforms. Movies do this also. I hate it also.

She just sat there looking gormless for 15 minutes. The difference between being funny and being funny by reading from a script.

[@TheWorldisQuietHere3]

@michael1 the difference between the validity of our opinions is I have watched the full show with her in it, and clearly, you have not. Obviously, I'm not judging her humour based on this one clip

[@colinjensen]

FOR ACADEMIC INTEGRITY, we have admit aloud that the Greek word “nude” can mean nude, but also scantily-clad. (That’s actually somewhat true with the English word too.) Thus, historians are NOT at all in agreement on whether the olympians competed nude or nude. (Those vases would have been naked either way.) . Now you must spend your life bringing that up and hopefully returning here to report back.

I’m referring to γυμνός (gymnos, as in gymnastics.)
