@stupidjunk978

[weavehole]

I L'd out L

[judgenutmeg1977]

Venezuela?

[099749]

@judgenutmeg1977

No it was "fufnudhf", Jeremy got it wrong, he came out after the show and apologised, saying that "really Birminham should have won, and that he was really really sorry" quote.

Not that changed the fact that their future, as possible university challenge winners, had been ruined- I beliveve he took them out to burger king to try and make up for it, apparently Mackenzie cried the whole meal, into her diet coke.

Apparently only a regular diet coke.

Monster isnt he!

[cymackenzie]

@099749

i'm glad the truth has eventually come out....

[JCHandJobLover]

Nice 1 

: )

[XPoppycockX]

Does anyone know why they haven't made another series??? Of time trumpet not uni challenged..

[Zarathustra06]

He's BEEN to Venezuela!

[CiaranDUK]

OMG That was hilarious

[FaxanaduJohn]

I keep returning to this segment- it's one of the most well-edited pieces of television that I've ever seen. The guy who goes, "say anyfing- make somefing up- say "mmmehhuuh", maybe it's right". Just superb.

[clecktown]

"Can I sit in the middle, hmm?"

[ChickenGoujons]

"You say Venezuela for every answer."

Hahaha!

[LaynezWorld]

'ahh bollocks' lol

[Chortleclips]

[bapp69]

@Chortleclips I'm easily on my 200th view

[jedaaa]

"no its Venezuela" lmao, i actually didnt see that coming.

[nikamota]

"Bollocks" is dubbed very well and fucking funny!

[diderr01]

It's not fucking venezuela

[MOZZWIGAN]

[rinnin]

I love the "Oh bollox!" at the end! :)

[deepindercheema]

Yes, me and the family are proud of this moment. Sadly however, offers of V O work have not been flooding in.

[stupidjunk978]

What are you up to these days then? Jusgt roughly, mind

[deepindercheema]

Drinking lots of water,

Riding my 10 speed bike,

Looking in Skips

rescuing old 78's

worrying about getting a Stevenage Twin as a Comet is not enough.

[hardonnetwo]

@deepindercheema You wanna do my funeral? I'll let you know closer to the time

[KISSARMYHQ]

@hardonnetwo random, but very funny !

[TheAnxiousMan]

Oh, okay. I spent ages looking at it thinking it was highlighting something important lol.

[TheAnxiousMan]

What's with the annotated red square at 00.14?

[Nanito2212]

No entendi! alguien me dice o me traduce el video? : )

[ismenius]

es de un programa concurso de inglaterra para equipos de universidades, por lo general las preguntas son dificiles. Pero han cambiado las voces para que digan tonterias (aparte del senor que hace las preguntas; el sigue con su voz normal). Y la muchacha dice todo el tiempo "Venezuela, venezuela...he dicho venezuela", pero el sij dice "ud dice venezuela para todas las preguntas; no es hijueputa venezuela", y depues el otro dice "nada mas diga merghh,; talvez es correcto",

[ismenius]

...entonces el sij dice "es merghh?" y el senor dice "no es venezuela!".

No se si s lo puede traducir, menos con mi castellano. Pero es el humor classico de los ingleses.

[deepindercheema]

Sij dice 'Bollocks'

.. then the Sikh says "is merghh?" And the Lord says "is not Venezuela!".

S do not know if it can translate, at least with my Castilian. But is the humor of the English Classic.

[deepindercheema]

Spanish to English translation

program is a contest for teams of England universities generally are difficult questions. But the voices have changed to read nonsense (apart from the lord who asks the questions, he is still with her normal voice). And the girl says all the time "Venezuela, Venezuela Venezuela ... I said," but the Sikh says "you say Venezuela for all the questions, it is not sonofabitch Venezuela," And after the other says "nothing more to say merghh, , perhaps it is right "

[Fedpowell]

It's Venezuela!

[JuliusOHara]

The answer's mousetrap.

[tomsega]

Aah.. proud student of the university of birmingham

[perkin158]

this is right on my humour level lol!

[natasaaa]

ha ha, i love this.

i had an exam the other day, and across my desk, written in tippex, was the word "venezuela". i wonder if the person who wrote it was referencing this. i'd like to think so.

[jesal21]

"Can I sit in the middle".

The kind of humour you can't find anywhere else.

[cliffovski]

"It's not...fucking...venezuela" Genius

fregmegneur

[PercyBeanProductions]

[evilmcwoo]

I know one of them, very nice guy. The Kraken. :)

[luqas99]

Is that Bill Baileys' voice-over, of the hairy guy in the middle?

[deepindercheema]

I can do my own voice overs. The reason they used me is that you cannae see my lips move. My 'Hairy Guy' status as you correctly observe put paid to that.

[thenextpope]

can i sit in the middle?

[theonenathe]

My old housemate is the guy who said "can I sit in the middle!!!!" i almost had a heart attack laughing when I saw it on tv!!

[HitmanKno]

Lol "can I sit in the middle" The guy on the left said that :o)

[wiggaroo]

LOL! I actually did laugh out loud too! Paxman forever!

[morny93]

Venezuela Venezuela?

[shadowblade9876]

The thing is, the Venezuela Girl sounds exactly like that on the actual show.

[cymackenzie]

[cymackenzie]

like a drunken londoner. yep, that's about right?!

[Furrowbrow]

Oh wow.. you've just overtaken Halifax Howard as my favourite celebrity!

Any plans to tour Venezuala?

[Hellotheres]

ahahahaha

[richardcadbury]

didn't see that coming at the end! i remember seeing the actual show.

[yechrist]

Amazingly, someone actually offered up 'Venezuela' as an answer in University Challenge, just a month or so ago. Perhaps they had seen this, and couldnt resist? My girlfriend and I, who always remember this sketch when watching UC, fell off the sofa in hysterics and disbelief. That's right. Hysterics and disbelief.

[pzk89]

That was excellent

[poiuasdqwe]

was it real?

[rey61nyne]

NO! DOOFUS!

[gra77on321]

lmao!!!!

[ferizbo]

the best time trumpet clip is the intro to top of the pops one

[soupynorman]

check out 'soupy norman' by the same people - i liked it so much i changed my name

[Andy3612]

cheers btw for tellin me about soupy lol absoulte classic

[TGPMatt]

"Look, it's not fucking Venezuela"

[MysticWhizz]

VenezualAAA

[MysticWhizz]

I saw Trinity College DESTROY one of the Oxford colleges, Trinity College are one of the best by far.

[rasmusfribble]

Yup, but the team in the clip is Trinity Hall, not Trinity College. :)

[MysticWhizz]

Ahh, on closer inspection, you appear to be right, I am humbled and humiliated by your flawless acusation :-(

[pinskip1]

"BOLLOCKS"

Fuckin brilliant!

[spacemonkey54]

"can i sit in the middle?" rofl.

[cguk2012]

lol, oh shit, that is 2 fuckin funny... im still laughing now, the voices are so convicing, every fits 2 well!!! lol

[chrisbristow]

this video cracks me up lol

[Peetgilb]

i love the "bollocks!" at the end!

[deepindercheema]

I was particularly proud that happened. Its alwys good to have the last word.

[letsxclimbxaxtree]

that little twerp sitting witht the wickes sign undernieth him is one of my brothers childhood mates he was always a little boffin hahaha what a dick

[martinevans123]

Forget about what's underneath Wickes. Rampant speculation, I'm sure hahaha. But check out the Polish soap opera, which is equally hilarous. This show had a real touch of genius.

[maha3003]

funny ishtuff

[TheOneAndOnlyCraig]

Can I sit in the middle?

[charlieidx]

The captain of SOAS on last night's UC was forced to answer 'Venezuela' to one of the questions. No-one seemed to get the reference.

[pb99]

Yes, it was good. I think one of the Cambridge lot got, but no one else. A good game I thought, always nice to see cantab going home empty handed & right at the end.

[deepindercheema]

I got the reference straight away!

[chewie2240]

5 minutes later and I still can't stop laughing!

[Robandrews10]

classic

[OiArry2]

reel nise

[CaptainRhoo]

Venezuela Venezuala?

[rocker4577]

Can I just sit in the middle! Genius. Who are these idiots commenting on the real UC?! Who cares?! ITS A JOKE>

[soupynorman]

The same people who dubbed this have a new series starting on RTE 2 on May 17th after the sopranos.

Only in Ireland - it's a disgrace Joe.

[mepsib]

"it's a disgrace joe" - lmao!!

[lordsuthers]

LOL

[tomsega]

Ooh 'Armando Iannucci's Time Trumpet' is the program. Gotta watch that.

[tomsega]

What is this from? Is it a students' work or off TV??

I want to go to the Birmingham trials this year!

[Benjaminbrum]

I work with Mackenzie and she's a force of nature. She can be very earnest but this clip doesn't do her justice.

[deepindercheema]

Yes, Cate (McKenzie) kicked me under the counter when I got a Starter question (Answer: Big Brother C4) wrong. I thought the answer was Wimbledon. Glad you dig the Golden Courd-roi jacket my sister Renu bought it from Rackhams in Birmingham

[martinevans123]

One of the best dressed contestants, you must be proud of the immortality bestowed by TT via UC? But it's so good to see you do have a sense of humour!

[deepindercheema]

They picked on us because you cannot see my lips move betwixt the moustache when they went into the dubbing booth. They missed our earlier appearence when I sabotaged one of the answers to Jeremy's question

[BottleImp]

There are worse ways to be remembered. Is Mackenzie as terribly earnest as she looks in this clip? I like your jacket, by the way.

[BottleImp]

He's been to Venezuela!

[theonenathe]

HAHA! My housemate is the one on the left!! He's the one that says "Can I sit in the middle?" - LEGEND immortalised in the annals of TV history!! Funniest thing EVER!

[billhuston]

OMFG! This is the funniest gd thing I think I've ever seen! I really think I've injured my diaphram. Subscribe Time Trumpet!

[Rich7714]

I love time trumpet!

[misschips]

i've watched that clip lots, and just picked up the "bollocks!" at the end....

[danwattley]

haha, the guy 'wicks' who is dubbed 'can i sit in the middle' is actually a friend of mine called stephen!

[jonnywnotwilkinson]

thats nice

[chazman1988]

@danwattley he went to Bishop Wand. and was a hero to all

[dowling1981]

@chazman1988 What about Ian Beale?

[sltr1]

lmao the end is priceless

[AndrewMcM]

Hahaha! Haahahha! Brilliant!

[aestival909]

"fnyerfnyggnrr?" hahaha

[SunnyD2004]

Great!

Have you also got 'Rape An Ape'?

[bonnie43uk]

made me pee my panties.

[deepindercheema]

No you cannot. You havn't got a big moustache and beard.

[worrier1]
