What's the cringiest interaction you've seen on the News? Top 10 Obnoxious Celebrities Getting Owned on Question Time kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5uaY3iejZihaJo

[@juliarose4397]

'Don't thank me. I've done nothing for you'. Richard Ayoade is a legend and I'm stealing this line for my never-to-be-written autobiography

[@SuzyQ334]

Actually, he's about as entertaining as a car crash IMHO.

#10 is just adorable, not awkward.

[@cedgson91]

The Bristol one is hilarious and a meme I have used recently 😂

[@albertmotbey1128]

Anyone else think it's a crime that Guy didn't get a job with the BBC after that interview?

[@Ravendarkwytch]

A massive crime, the amazing thing about his live interview was how accurately he answered the questions asked and how much he was able to understand the future growth of technology.

[@SuzyQ334]

I wouldn't call Jeremy Paxman aggressive. Assertive certainly but he asks the questions the rest of us would like answers to. And when it's politicians I think the public are entitled to answers.

[@darrenwallis7630]

4:48 i think you meant, did you ‘threaten’ to over-rule him… they’re very different questions….

[@GormlyKeep]

I miss Paxman. Nowadays interviewers just let it go and move on

[@SuzyQ334]

"And I'm shutting your butt down" - Tarantino proved himself to be a total ar*e in this interview.

[@wedgeheelshunterlegend2654]

So the point of number 10 is...Don't Have Kids

[@garycollinson-4976]

Why show the same clip twice?

[@mintomax2]

I can't tell if this is intentionally ironic or just stupidity by the voice over Micheal Howard did answer the question did you overule him the question he did not answer was did you threaten to overule him if it's not trying to be ironic it seems a very stupid mistake as you literally misqoute the question immediately after Jeremy says it.
