For me, I'll go with a random Taskmaster or Catsdown

Thanks to my recent discovery of Taskmaster and Catsdown, and subsequent exploration of mid-'10s sets by UK comics, I discovered an entire niche genre of joke: the barely veiled reference to Russell Brand being a rapist.

I hope you’ve got 🇬🇧Kathy Burke on there. Believe it was on Catsdown she spoke about her favorite way to spend Christmas being home alone with the dog and eating her celebratory meal in the bath.

its him and jimmy carr basically, i'd prefer it if jimmy carr stopped existing so someone actually funny can host catsdown/big fat quiz

COUNT BUCKULEES ON CATSDOWN. That’ll do.

Catching up on recent episodes of Catsdown and once again wishing Going Live was still a going concern because The Delightful Sausage would be absolutely perfect for the Trevor and Simon role. I really like them

Have you done 8 of 10 Cats Does Countdown? Otherwise known as Cats Does Countdown or Catsdown.

The regular 8 of 10 Cats is just a boring news of the day panel show. Catsdown is a comedy highlight show with games.

Try "Eight Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown," also found on YouTube as "Catsdown."

Countdown is a stodgy British game show of letters and numbers, and Catsdown is comedians doing the show far less successfully with plenty of jokes.

C4 probably should have got a temp in to cover for Jimmy Carr #CatsDown #BigFatQuiz

Normally, I’d agree but the very next Catsdown had Peter Serafinowicz as Brian Butterfield which totally worked for me.

But only on the UK Catsdown will we get stuff like this

Catching up on last nights catsdown, and Joe Wilkinson’s repurposing of a urinal as a butter dish had me hooting.

I do think C4's Christmas Eve is probably the strongest linear line up of the Christmas period - a few Christmas classics then an original comedy drama follow by a new CatsDown which usually delivers at Christmas.

I was so excited to see Sean Locke pop up in my feed that I went to watch but got baited by youtube.

Guess I'll just have to binge Catsdown content elsewhere

Reading about Walliams' gaffe, and then someone pointing out "Nazi Island" from Catsdown and now I miss Sean.

For those not in the faith, Susie Dent is the incredibly well-versed lexicographer on Catsdown ... and also on its lesser-known and way more polite daytime version. 🤣 😇
Also check out her legendary miniseries on the history of naughty words down below.
Delighted to say that my new book of words is out today, in which I explain how ‘sneeze’ was born from a mistake, that ‘window’ is a Viking leftover meaning ‘eye of the wind’, and that the Finns really do have a word for drinking alone in your underwear.

It's such a wonderful way to introduce people to the people behind comedians on stage personalities. I couldn't stand John Kearns after first seeing his character on Catsdown, but after one episode of him on Taskmaster I was rooting for him and loving him.
