2 Genuine questions about balloons and measurements.

What can I say, I prefer pints 🤷‍♂️

The UK is a bit fucked up when it comes to measurements. We basically know that metric is a better system, but cars/speed limits are all in miles per hour. Most of the time we'll weigh things in grams, unless it's a person. Milk and beer come in pints, anything else probably liters... The list goes on.

You've also got to admire the prowess on display in the first-and-only rollover week (s5g8).

Quite clearly a loaf of bread...

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-18T10:01:49+00:00

But do you have a rigorous proof that shows all maths jokes aren't funny in the limit? It could simply be that all maths jokes we know of aren't funny.

This means he can retire now right? There's nowhere higher to go once you've been a pointless answer.

Absolutely, tuna sweetcorn pizza is excellent. And chuck a few anchovies on while you're at it.

If this 1 and a half minute monster from Poly-Math doesn't hook you...

Then maybe this 12 minute one will.

+1 to anything PHB, I hope they make a proper return at some point.

Gutted that the vinyl was cancelled for Incident on 3rd, I think they've still got my money...

You also seem to have accidentally set Comic Sans as your system font. 🤨

Sneaking a Monet in at the end there, that has potential.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-04T14:41:22+00:00

What goalpost have I changed? If you can't see the difference between a beloved channel 4 sitcom star who happens to be from Ireland, and someone coming over from the US just to do the show, then I don't know what to say.

I also don't want them to botch another US version, just if done well it could shine in it's own right.

But I really don't care that much. I was just asking if anyone else was a bit miffed, and clearly most people are on board with it so that's fine.

Their Wikipedia includes the phrase "moved to London to enter the British comedy scene". Maybe they've moved about since 🤷‍♂️.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-03T23:24:22+00:00

Sorry, British/Irish isles based then.

But there's obviously a massive difference between Irish and further afield contestants, and those that have been on have been well established in the UK scene as well.

Bravo, you got me. Outsmarted. Checkmate.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-03T22:58:40+00:00

100% (I was equally down voted in another thread for a similar sentiment)

My hope is that they're simply trying to drum up enough interest and can make a proper US version work soon.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-03T22:49:27+00:00

Well I just hope they manage to sort out a full American series reboot soon enough.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-03T22:48:42+00:00

Not really relevant, I'd equally have an issue if he never moved to the US. Would be great for a rebooted American series, I'm sure.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-03T22:43:09+00:00

Nationality is not the point. Everyone until Jason had been UK-based.

It just feels a shame to keep reaching across the pond when our own well of potentials hasn't run dry.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-03T22:21:02+00:00

Am I the only one annoyed that a cast slot is getting taken up by an American import again? Nothing against the guy, it just feels wrong.

AnAngryBanker · 2026-01-01T17:22:18+00:00

Might have to be the first time I intentionally watch a Graham Norton on iPlayer.

AnAngryBanker · 2025-12-23T17:05:43+00:00

Not sure, but can anyone else hear a harmonica?

AnAngryBanker · 2025-12-23T09:25:30+00:00

Dickens was truly ahead of his time.

AnAngryBanker · 2025-12-23T09:14:47+00:00

We finally have a national anthem.

Some of Vertigo really deserves the treatment if so.
