ADAM & JOE'S QUIZZLESTICK

[tkayube]

So was there a whole episode made of this or just this one round?

[andypalmtree]

obvious fake



[trippinonbud]

@andypalmtree wow you are so observant!!! This is fake????? im reporting it to offcom at once. Thank you for being so diligent your cuntry salutes you.

[andypalmtree]

@trippinonbud It's an in joke. If you listen to Adam and Joe on 6music, they talk about people on youtube that say things are fake or superfake.

[Buterflie129]

This reminds me more of Bamboozled from Friends than Numberwang tbh.

[hassony77]

@Buterflie129 thats what i thought as well

[46Frogfrog]

yep - I'm Michael. A slighter heavier and greyer version these days.

Andy Warhol was wrong by 12minutes and 28 seconds. :)

[EvilStreaks]

@46Frogfrog giz your autograph :P

[EvilStreaks]

@46Frogfrog also, why in God's name didn't you play your green quizzle chance?

[46Frogfrog]

ok you Quizzlestick fans. It's me - contestant called Michael. Had been on a few real quizzes when I saw an ad in The Stage paper. I applied. I got on. I looked at the quizmaster who had appeared out of nowhere thinking 'I know that guy' . We weren't actors and poor Peter next to me really was 100% confuddled and thinking he was on a real quiz. I was about 80% hence the occasional smirks.

Good fun though. Watched Adam and Joe's earlier series. so cannot believe i didn't twig who it was.

[EvilStreaks]

@46Frogfrog You're really MIchael? Brillant ;D

[Alfinator911]

@46Frogfrog Really? wow....



[sparkyinbath]

This is different to Numberwang in that this is funny and Numberwang isn't really.

[Occono]

Are the contestants actors or did they think they were filming a real game show?

[Lexachu]

End of quiz sound - dog getting machine gunned. HAHAH!

[sparkyinbath]

The difference between this and Numberwang is that this is very funny and Numberwang isn't.

[stevenuuu1212]

Those Quizzlestick graphics are hilarious!

[00woolley]

That Michael is a complete idiot, not playing his green quizzlechance when he had the opportunity was the worst kind of schoolboy error for which he should feel ashamed.

[FlyingRat1]

@00woolley Doesn't deserve a victory playing like that. I bet he wakes up every morning, and rues that day. 

[00woolley]

@FlyingRat1 And so he should, he also neglected the chance to play his beat the buzzer bonus booster, that's just unforgivable.

[FlyingRat1]

@00woolley Rookie errors indeed. I'd imagine Peter is living the high life after being handed such a simple victory.

[00woolley]

@FlyingRat1 That Peter's worthy of his plaudits, he played the game magnificently. a shrewd character that one. Michael is just a mong.

[FlyingRat1]

@00woolley Ahahaha, brilliant.

[fritjofnilssonpirat]

MUCH harder than it looks at home.

[Padz009]

Uhhh my head hurts

[DoLzed]

hahaha never fails to make me laugh - so straight forward

[GrandDizzy]

Quizzlestick and Numberwang are both excellent, but I hope no one makes another gameshow spoof because "three's a crowd".

[avodaith]

@GrandDizzy So I guess you aren't familiar with Mornington Crescent then

[GrandDizzy]

@avodaith Nope. And I can't seem to find it on YouTube.

[TheAnxiousMan]

Numberwang isn't a complicazted gameshow, it's just nonsense

[topkev]

what a ditz, Micheal should have chosen to swap and play off his blue quizzel blocks

[ageispolis10]

@topkev Nah, if he'd played off his blue quizzle blocks Peter could have just sold them during his Beat the Buzzer Bonus Booster. He should have locked them out in the Spotlight Round and Super Swapped instead. At least that's what I woulda done - much harder than it looks at home though, I suppose...

[POSmeg]

"aha, you could have won, it's a great shame."

[BarryBeatmaster]

I reckon i've got the hang of the Quizzlestick rules- where can i sign up to appear on the show?

[ZAFARCAKE]

STEPHENN!!!!!

[oghtlb1]

@ZAFARCAKE

just coming

[ZAFARCAKE]

@oghtlb1 wooooo

[iWinxtehxinternets]

numberwang and this are very different, don't bother with the whole comparison and whining.

Some dude in a numberwang comments suggested we check this out without raging or whining, saying it's also good, and it is, but again different, I wouldn't call it a rip off.

Grow the fuck up every one, comedy is supposed to be enjoyable not a nerdy flamewar.

[uktvfan01]

...but only if it isn't a general knowledge question.

[sickaspam]

I think the Kerry-All Pouch video is more entertaining!

type it in the window

[pidgin]

Love the way when the quizzlesticks swap, the points then swap too, so the points each person has don't actually change... argh!

[b0b1919]

I love the fact that the questions are so basic

[AndyUK2006]

Haha I love this video, brings back memories!

[santosbl01]

Hahaha, so awesome!

[b0b1919]

this and numberwang are completely different. It's like comparing wheel of fortune to supermarket sweep.

[Blahdabbadoo]

This is more original than say... numberwang.

Why can't they be back on TV? A&J Tokyo, was like a wet dream mix of two great British sensibilities and Japanese, samurai, techno-cool culture. Those japs are of course quite crazy.

[KingOfKatamari]

The green Quizzlechance isn't always the best choice. In this case, he would have lost his Quizzlemark option in the bonus round and -- oh, what the hell am I talking about?

[tHickman95]

@KingOfKatamari,

dont you mean the quizzle stick swoparound with a three horizontal red quizzlemark bonus?

exept that could cost him all three of his blue quizzlelifes, although he does have a chance of stealing three of his own quizzlemarks, but only if he has twice as many as peter when peter has just played a quizzlechance.

...unless its a general knowledge question...

[VmKid]

@tHickman95 You have to remember that at some point you can't convert your blue quizzlechances to purple ones unless you've gained 12 Horizontal quizzlesticks in which to trade for three horizontal ones and an extra 20 seconds in the Spotlight round if they didn't need to bypass it due to a broken quizzlepoint.

[OnlineMoneyTest]

genius. sounds exactly like a typical 90's daytime quiz show.

can't believe he didn't play his green quizzlestick though.

[blacky777]

lets play bamboozle....

[arwenae]

overflowing with love for this vid. Geniusness.

[alanfaulkner1]

why can't we all just get along.We all love Adam and Joe that's all that matters!

[eldictator1]

As many people have stated this pre-dates number wang by several years, and the adam and joe show was ten times funnier than bbc 2's heavily advertised that Mitchell and webb look, and to think they made peep show

[JamesAOK]

They didn't 'make' Peep Show, they just star in it.

[benhamoustrike]

So collectively they made it.

[bonnie43uk]

I was amazed the 2nd contestant didn't use his 3rd quizzle saucer to counteract contestant 1's purple flipper stick, ..that would have given him a chance to go for an extra spin on his time clock.. he only had 12 seconds, and he could have boosted his kula shaker to the green level.. what an idiot!!!!

[willman85]

This was just a single sketch they made for one episode, and wasn't even meant to be an idea stretched across an entire series. You can't compare the two, they're completely different despite similar appearance.

[AndyMcCy]

this video isnt even funny, the contestants and the presenter arent funny and the quite mediocre joke is that the game doesnt make sense, mitchell and webb did this kind of sketch way better and thats why their still on TV

NUMBERWANG!

[tregard]

Numberwang is completely different though. The joke of that was that it has no understandable rules, the joke with this is that it has too many. They're both funny in different ways.

[cade102102]

Numberwang > all

[burntbroccoli]

I swear I used to work with the contestant called Michael.

[sionv2009]

stephen!

[PDoodly044]

Coming!

[PrincessofAshes]

Just coming!

[Kylevilhelm]

Quizzlestick is a different idea to Numberwang. Quizzlestick has a berjillion rules, where as Numberwang has none at all. I think its ok to like both.

[brody074]

OH WAT?

[Halobenzene]

THAT'S NUMBERWANG!

[martineyles]

This beats Numberwang by several years!

[geegee1380]

Do you think that they 'stole' the idea for numberwang or that they had the same idea several years later? And besides, forget who did it first, this is 100 times funnier than numberwang anyway!

[AndyMcCy]

yeah and thats why the numberwang video of the first numberwang has 3 times more veiws than this

[geegee1380]

and green day have sold more albums than the clash! robbie williams has sold more albums than tom waits. whats your point? more doesnt mean better!

[AndyMcCy]

well in this case it does, more people watching it means more people enjoy it meaning its more popular plus ive watched both and numberwang is much better, the made like 8 sketches out of the one gameshow and all of the are funny, the best one is probably the numberwang boardgame or history of numberwang

[dasmelon]

Well said!!!

[28macsl8r]

lol

[PrincessofAshes]

Ok, that was truly the most confusing quiz game erver known to man...Joe Cornish is a genius!

[nivrepooc]

so clear to follow. The contestant in the white looks genuinely confused at the end. Very funny clip. Thanx.

[amplel]

What a loser, I got a quizle chance, nine red blocks and three green blocks. It's like they've never played this before

[CrustyBiker]

how could he forget to play his Green Quizle Chance, What a dope, he must be kicking himself now, haha! Good video, now to check out this Mitchell and Webs "Numberwang thing.....

[jodotb00]

well comlicated lol

[monkeybike]

This reminds me of Mitchell and Webs "Numberwang", expect A & Js is alot funnier.

[Slarty252]

A big lot of pants

[Arthurmax180]

lol headache

[earfolds]

Mornington Crescent.

[rocket1039]

No, you absolutely cannot like this AND Numberwang. You must make a choice and stand by it until death - sort of like religion.

[orc277]

I disagree

[bellboy64]

"It's harder than it looks at home!"

That was a good line!

[DarkTsubasa]

Can we not like this AND Numberwang?

[redjessg]

ha ha!

[sallyesq]

i dont think anything has ever made me laugh as much as this. absolutely hilarious, along with the classic "you break it, you pay for it" in a china shop.

[DJEdSaunders]

This was made in 2001, pre-dating numberwang by at least 5 years (except when it's not a general knowledge question)

[Rulinator]

Pisses all over Numberwang.

ANyone remember the "Anecdote" quiz show Adam and Joe did as well?

[abeautifulworld12]

Yep - I was rewatching the series on 4OD. That was odd with the two women, I can't quite remember the anecdotes though...how about '200%' with the computer malfunctioning?

[jigbot]

NICE... HAHA

[XhoowieX]

@DJEdSaunders ahh 2001, that's numberwang!

[HyperMonkey07]

indeed this could definitely rival numberwang

[bbctimecommanders]

I love this show also numberwang

[kaapiovuohi]

AAAARGH! Excellent!

[aper26]

ahaha thats gotta be the most confusing game show ive ever seen

[Speedifist]

Numberwang?

[uno2004]

Its way older!

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

The presenter died.

[danipipzip]

no he didn't you anus

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

he did.....it's tragic.

[danipipzip]

he hadn't died yesterday and he still hasn't died today moron

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

And you know this for sure?

No, because you're guessing, are you not?

Dead until proven alive I say, now run along child.

[VirgLondon2]

yep, just googled it, he's as dead as a dodo

[jusfint]

What are you guys talking about?

Joe's the presenter! He's not dead!

[4ndr3wk]

i think from the guys username he is just obsessed with death haha

[simplelife88393]

The presenter does a weekly radio show, the 'Adam and Joe' show.

Fail troll failed

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

You died.

[danipipzip]

you're an invalid. he does a radio show every saturday morning, he's not dead. i'm not guessing. get your facts straight and don't call me a child

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

Wow - TWO months later?

He's probably died since, maybe?

Come on, cut a Troll some slack for fuck sake.

[rickrenny]

i love mitchell and webb, but with numberwang they blatantly ripped off this!

[Phoxinator]

Agreed.

[GrimbleGromble01]

just what i was thinking

[REOspeedracer]

STEHEN?

[BluesMan2]

coming!

[charlyandjosh]

Apparently there's a new film being made called Slumdog Quizzlestick...

[Taters169]

thats numberwang!

[tooktuctuc]

What`s especially funny about this is that the contestants don`t appear to be in on the joke and seem genuinely baffled.

[awwyeah123]

Has to be said.

JUST COMING!

[jarzhinio]

I agree in a pontrpitonian sense, but, due to the fact that my antispections have been unqualifitied, I would have to disqualify my own point.

[SAAW1172]

Numberwang is a ripoff of this....

[KevL75]

10 bonus 'stating the bloody obvious' points to you.

[TheSockies]

Well actually numberwang is meant to be completely random and make no sense what so ever without rules or any sense, whereas this seems to have understandable rules which i followed.

If you didn't follow, you're an idiot.

[bluefoxUK1]

@SAAW1172 And is much better IMO.

[z121231211]

I find numberwang funnier but it's pretty different from quizzlestick.

Numberwang paradies quick and pointless gameshows, while Quizzlestick is all about being extremely complicated.

[peggersbhoy]

Stephen!

[L1NK666XL1NK666]

Dare i say it?

JUST COMING!!!... brother.

[TobiasGray92]

JUST COMING!!!

[InaudibleWhale]

Actually can't believe how much Mitchell and Webb ripped this off! I don't think they've ever been funny, Peepshow rocks but they don't write it. Don't subscribe to the XFM podcast, subscribe the the BBC 6Music one!

They do write their own stuff.. and I don't see why you can't like both of them.. all four of them.

gg

[InaudibleWhale]

They aren't credited on the actual show so their input can't be that big.

[InaudibleWhale]

"and I don't see why you can't like both of them" - gg, you're in your element with the rest of the retards on here.

[jinkysmith]

Get Adam and Joe back on the tele. you program commissioning nitwits.

[josamosa]

Numberwang is really unfunny.

This is far better

[Piemonius]

The Adam and Joe Show ran on Channel 4 between 96 and 2001, Mitchell and Webb who came up with the sketch Numberwang started in 2008! Do the math, Tom SFox!

[tellyisrubbish]

Well said! Adam and Joe are legends :)

[Undadawg87]

that hurt my brain

[TomSFox]

That's numberwang!

[LagunaX1]

no numberwang is quizzlestick,

[TomSFox]

*groan*

[KikiiMcI]

Exactly! Quizzlestick is far superior.

[miffykitty666]

lol if its much harder than it looks at home everyone is doomed lol

hehe i love this, so silly :0p

[Ralphiriusgr8]

Dammit, why didn't he use his Green Quizzle Chance?

[shortyktfc]

tut it's a great shame he coulda won!!!

I always come back to this clip once everywhile cus it always puts a smile on my face!

[Elecksia]

that is so complico

[thebionicdan]

Stephen?

[somecallmeRudy]

just coming!

[AbsinthePartyFilms]

I'm coming!

[JiJi87]

LOL

[pseudocaveman]

This made my head hurt, but I love it.

[djwedgewood]

Much harder than it looks at home....

[justcomments]

did I see those quizzlesticks get swapped around twice? @_@

[dinkydexy]

Sorry to burst your bubble Spallyman, but you haven't caused annoyance at all. People just find you sad and amusing, that's all. Go read 'The Remarkable Rocket' by Oscar Wilde.

Assuming that you can read, of course.

[luvinit83]

so obviously fake

[justcomments]

so obviously obvious.

[biggerthed]

I'm impressed that you managed to switch your computer on. Well done.

[spallyman]

Well well. I have caused some annoyance amongst some people. However I am a man of my word. Tell me where and when, and we shall meet for bareknuckle fighting. I will prove I am right by putting you in casualty.

[brodski1]

wow thats some strong talk from a guy typeing

[spallyman]

it certainly is my friend. where do you want to fight, bareknuckle?

[brodski1]

is that your replay to everyone who writes back to you? come on man get some new material

[spallyman]

i am a man of my word.

[brodski1]

out of all the thing you could have said and you chose bareknuckle? is that all you can think of? why not say something interesting like oh i dunno off the top of my head im gonna get my trained pet crow to come and gouge you eyes out and then send them back to you in the mail perhaps? USE YOUR IMAGINATION FOR ONCE!

[spallyman]

I don't think that threatening to use a pet crow to gouge someones eyes out is using your imagination. I think its weird.

In St Paul's Cathedral 12 hours from when I write this. Be there.
