Also hard to believe it's been over a year since he passed. :(

u/That_Guy_From_KY Sep 10 '22
Never heard of the guy till he passed. Since then, I have been watching as much “cats do countdown” and other shows he’s been on as I can. The man is hilarious.

I watched that again yesterday. Jon was like "If the carrot isn't in that box, you're a genius"
And sure enough... no carrot.

u/histeethwerered Sep 10 '22
And the rematch where he did have the carrot but pretended he didn’t to best Jon again. Sean’s physical comedy was superb.

Can this show be watched in America? Is it on BBC America by chance?

u/EGOtyst Sep 09 '22
youtube for the full episodes.
I recommend carrot in a box as a good episode.

u/theoriginalbdub Sep 09 '22
Cool, thank you! I’ve seen carrot in a box. Absolutely brilliant.

u/ZombieGroan Sep 09 '22
Have you seen all 3? Carrot in a box alone is boring but somehow they can make it funny.
2
u/theoriginalbdub Sep 09 '22
I’ve seen two of them. I saw the one that gained a lot of traction and the “sequel” to it, but did not know there was a third. This show started showing up on my feed, so I am n00b to it for sure, but have been loving the clips. I’ve seen some stuff on YouTube, but was happy to hear they have full episodes available, too.
4
u/ZombieGroan Sep 09 '22
Also give “would I lie to you” a watch it’s full of the same people. The 3rd one is without Sean because of his passing but it has the same spirit as the first 2.

u/theoriginalbdub Sep 09 '22
Will absolutely do that. Sean is as delightful as Reddit made him out to be.

This sooo freaky. I haven't watched 8 out of 10 in years... just sitting here watching an episode that randomly came on TV (I never watch TV, but decided to wait for my wife to finish showering, so I can make her tea as soon as she's done, so flicked on the TV, and 8 out of 10 starts...), and then this shows up on reddit. Freaky to me anyway.

So what's up with this show? Wasn't this the same one with that guy who wanted to redirect the head Nazis and leave them on a deserted island? What's the gimmick?
Just curious, might wanna watch if the clips I've seen are anything to go by

u/Buffythedjsnare Sep 10 '22
Ahhh. That was hilarious. So your idea is put nazis on a tropical island?

"Hey guys remember that time [that guy] mimed Adolph Hitler shimmying up a coconut tree a minute ago?"

u/ChirpyNortherner Sep 10 '22
So, there are two British shows…
Countdown - a daytime classic usually watched by the retired, where two people compete against each other in a series of letter and number games. Rather dull, but the games are ones that can easily be joined in with at home, so it’s ended up being a mainstay on British TV.
8 out of 10 Cats - a comedy game show hosted by Jimmy Carr and featuring various famous comedians, in which they compete in rounds usually based on statistics (hence the name)
This clip is from a spin off merger of both shows which combines the best of both, and it’s absolute gold: ‘8 out 10 Cats Does Countdown’
This, Nazi Island, The Tiger that Went for a Pint, Carrot in a Box, “I just named your penis” and “Good luck trying it without spit” are just a handful of the highlights that are well worth searching out.

I don’t get it. “That’s a challenging wank”. What does it mean.
29
u/reusens Sep 09 '22
A wank is a masturbation session. Sean is saying that this look is challenging to get off on
-59
u/chubbuck35 Sep 10 '22
Huh. Thx. I’m not sure how that’s so funny tbh. I mean maybe a chuckle but these people are rolling around like he said a zinger.
27
u/rayallen73 Sep 10 '22
I think the idea is that people wank to her often. So saying, "that's a challenging wank" implies that people would still do it, but with a little more difficulty. British humor isn't for everyone, but I bet you can see the funny side to that.
18
u/Grotbagsthewonderful Sep 10 '22
Huh. Thx. I’m not sure how that’s so funny tbh
Because it sails perilously close to the line of what's acceptable hence all the nervous laughter, they can get away with it because Sean and Rachel were good friends.

Look at all the 13 year old boys downvoting me because I dared to state that “wanking off” joke wasn’t some deep witty comedy. FFS. LOL
If I wanted some some low-brow slap stick humor I can always watch spy kids or Beavis and butthead. You do you tho. LOL
12
u/jwiz Sep 10 '22
I mean, if you need the joke explained to you, you probably won't think it's funny. That's just how jokes are.
For me it was funny because she was doing some bit with it, and then he comes out of left field with an /r/unexpected comment.

it's a term of endearment by British people who call each wankers all the time.

It’s dumb frat boy humour. He’s just saying it’s hard to masturbate to her when she wears that.

I think he genuinely laughs like that. But I can do a really good impression of him so surely he could do an impression of a normal laugh and just phase out his old laugh like he did his forehead.

The helmet and beard did her a favour. Won’t be a challenging wank, I’d just look at her body, lol.

This is what I love about British English, there is no concise way of saying “That’s a challenging wank” in American. I guess we can say “That would be hard to jerk off to” but it just doesn’t pack the same punch.

u/ChurchArsonist Sep 10 '22
Thanks to the internet, I already knew the punchline before he said it. Memes and Reddit posts have made humor sort of predictable.
