The picture of the "last power official to be powered by coal" towards the end is actually ex Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnball.

Thanks!

Thanks VivaHD!

[@jdfreality]

There were funny for the first 2 maybe 3 times she said them. But eventually, a person just gets sick of them. They're boring, predictable and repetitive. That being said fair play to her for being relatively successful in comedy for a couple of decades. I know I could not do it.

[@DanGolag]

I love Mona's sense of humor. "Tears? Paupers?"

[@thehellyousay]

The White House is literally a Monty Python sketch. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@geordy4831]

The second picture shown in the show was actually Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. So now know he goes to Bradford when everyone here in Australia is trying to find him....

[@demontana8769]

Miss Chalabi is beautiful. Very smart and has a great sense of humor. It doesn't get any better than that. Miss Chalabi: if you ever come to the west, let me know, I'd be proud to take you to a nice dinner. Then maybe some dancing. With love and respect from the west: DeMontana

[@georgielancaster1356]

What's that supposed to mean?

[@SerendipityChild]

@@georgielancaster1356 11:14 this news story was handled well by these two I think. For future reference, wording the question as "what do you mean?" Or "what does that mean?" Is more natural than "what is that supposed to mean?". That last one can have a slightly confrontation tone

[@evilmoif]

Ross Noble looks more and more like the Penguin (the Batman villain)

[@georgielancaster1356]

I'm afraid I find Noble unfunny and deeply unattractive and sometimes, barely understandable - which I don't mind, because I rarely enjoy anything he says. I think his wife lost her pets in a bushfire in Oz, which is very sad, so they moved to UK.

[@icarusandtherabbit]

Mona looks like an amalgamation of every female Doctor Who companion for the past 10 years.

[@erasmusmiranda587]

That final score cannot possibly be correct! It was 4-8 before the missing words and both teams got 2 right (and both got the octopus one) so it should have been 9-13. It is nitpicking, of course, but I have been suspicious for a long time that Paul is usually awarded more points than he actually scores and during this season Ian seems to have started to notice. For instance, I could not figure out how Paul's team finished the first round ahead 4-3.

[@paulmallon9292]

It's a long running joke in the show. The scores are meaningless and Ian usually loses.

[@joshy_j_]

The weird fact is that i have literally watched this TV show for more than 10 years and i have never, ever, ever noticed that

[@Stormwern]

No, America was not discovered in 1776 :)

[@yokie52]

I know, I cannot believe they let that go w/out comment.

[@thehellyousay]

Invention of America. Completely apropos. America is a fairytale. The discovery involved figuring out what a bad idea this empire built on genocide by slaves, was gonna be. As in, "I've just discovered a few drawbacks..."

I'm assured America was discovered long before Columbus....but we managed to keep it quiet....

[@grahamhume5953]

I can't believe that Mona Chalabi is single. She is lovely.

[@louieberg2942]

She's appearing as a regular on Frankie Boyle's New World Order season 2.

[@eastvandb]

Some men are afraid of smart women. Maybe that's why.

[@yokie52]

Maybe that is her chose, Graham.

[@eastvandb]

She did seem to suggest otherwise, though, with 'single and miserable' (am I paraphrasing?) Mind you, she could also have just been going for a laugh.

[@damntutin8016]

Smart? For a statistician she has difficulty getting the figures she employs to sum properly, and her commentary tends to be acceptable neo-liberal narratives couched in the jargon of Guardian opinion pieces: haven't heard an original thought from her here or on Frankie's program.

[@yokie52]

The swamp comment relates to "draining the swamp" comment by Trump versus the actual swamp that Washington D.C. is built upon.

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

[@wellmounted]

Are the celebrities in the UK similar to the celebrities in the US in that they won't say they support Brexit because they'll be condemned and lose jobs like the celebs in the US won't say they support Trump for the same reasons? And please, no flames on Trump, I'm just asking.

[@francesca5387]

NO! Brits tend to say what they think - 'publish and be damned' is their mantra.

[@BlandMarkComedy]

@wellmounted Lots of comedians virtue signal and make lazy jokes about traditionally conservative issues/parties/people. Audiences tend to applaud this to make themselves look like "good decent liberals". Unfortunately, this takes away a lot of potential for humour as much of the comedians' time is used up spurting out the same old anti-Daily mail, anti-conservative preachiness. Shame really. I feel that I have to add a note here that I think the Daily Mail is a shit newspaper, and I am not a tory. But I do like my comedy to make me laugh, not rant at me. Also, this is not an attack on HIGNFY (a show which often does make me laugh as it mixes satire with good old silliness at times) I was just responding to your question. There, I think I've covered all my bases.

[@RIXRADvidz]

Trump has celebrity supporters, they're all very niche, though. Kanye, Kid-rock, Kardashians, ...

[@georgielancaster1356]

@@RIXRADvidz Most of the Republican celebrities are or were also, pro Trump. Although dead, John Wayne I am sure, would have loved him. Same chest thumping empty vessels. And the anti gun control nutters, like Tom Sellick. And that male complete air head. Tony Danza? Hope I have the right person. I never watched anything he was in. I think he is a mad Rep. Rob Lowe? The older actress who was on Cheers? Whose weight goes up and down. Is it Kirstie Alley? I can't think of a pro Trump celebrity that would be classed as genuinely intelligent, that identifies Rep or pro Trump, but then, I don't follow celebrities, at all. Usually find out their politics in passing, if they are metioned on another subject.

[@georgielancaster1356]

@@BlandMarkComedy There are a few Brit stand ups that identify as pro Tory. Welshman, Lloyd something, who SOUNDS just like the super tall Rhod... Davies, is it? I am always thinking I hear Rhod, in some comedy podcast, but it turns out to be this Lloyd chap. Is it Simon Evans? I think he supports not just Tories, but Boris. Actually, he is SAID to be well educated. Someone recently joked that when Simon abandoned Boris, then Boris would lose PM status. I genuinely don't know how anyone could support Boris and care for their country. I guess he just worries about his own wealth.
