Stephen Merchant on Blockbusters!

[krownedskate]

Stephen looks so young!

[vince851]

The woman on the left looks like Walliams in drag, little Britain stylee!

[danwoodward23]

His hair was just kind of nothingy

[blondegraemey]

Nice to see David Walliams of Little Britain fame on the left there.

[TheBrownUn]

blockbusters is not blockbusters without Bob Holness. I hear Stephen merchant was a virgin here and still is.

[trisoutlaw86]

why is he playing against david walliams in drag?

[SnickerSlide]

am i the only one who thinks Roopam looks like David Walliams in drag????

[AndysEdits]

yh but... how many BAFTA's has she got?

[mumbojumbouk]

I <3 6:09

[AtomiicWarfare]

[rageagainstmonica]

No wonder he hated Rockbusters so much, it must have brought back harrowing memories.

[Ol09Ash]

such a gentl giant :) he's cool

[wheyitsalan]

I wonder if he kept the fountain pen, or broke it in anger!

[bonnie43uk]

That Lanky kid will never amount to much. I bet those 2 female students went on to fame and fortune.

[Itoldyousoproduction]

Aspel: "And Steve. Steve Merchant. Where are you from?"

Smerch: "From Bristol"

Aspel: "Ah popular city!"

Smerch: "Yes.." [looks at Aspel with contempt]

[Jaya365]

[JRDcirca1991]

does anyone else wonder if the women became what they said they wanted to become seeing as stephen so spookily did?

also the string in the envelope....fucking tears!!! haha

[BlackDollarBills]

that ending is brilliant, not only does he lose, he then gets his height ridiculed on TV XD

[spacecadetm]

His voice is so calm and quite! :) I love him <33

[Carodacat]

Even before he was famous people were still taking the piss out of his height

[virginiarules510]

Wow, those two kicked his ass, lol. He's very smart, though, I was impressed with what he did get.

This is the type of game show that I cannot watch. I find it boring, and I only watched this because of Steve. ^_^

[FallingSkittles]

You guys are so mean :( No need to hate on his looks when he already has low self asteem

[mikeybiy]

he got everything he wanted to do, and rightly so.

what a guy!

[xvideoxgamerrx]

wheatly should be on this show in stead of the actual actor :3

[MrBarry1024]

He is a moron.

[goulygliu]

"ready to marry" lol - Steve starts his tour looking for a wife 2day. *sigh*...

[johnpaul4000]

No wonder Karl was taken aback the first time he saw Steve...

[ianwilson2007]

If this was 1997 he would have been 22/23...isn't that a bit old to be on Blockbusters? I thought it was for 6-formers?

[ivorbigonee]

did his parents put him in a grow bag and say lets grow ourselves a lanky goggle eyed freak?

[MrFukface23]

@ivorbigonee bahahha classic office

[TheSkillJim]

For steve's wealth sake, thank f**k he met ricky, cus that 15 quid wouldn't have even got him home from the show

[TheCheweeRevolutions]

you'd never imagine him to be such a hilarious wit looking at him here. he's a right gork!

[ivorbigonee]

@TheCheweeRevolutions learn to speak properly.

[vixchan]

I fucking hated blockbusters. knighmair was more my style

[R33Racer]

I thought he was meant to be a moron designed by Aperture Science?

[danbam808]

[EFCGeorge]

Ripped off Rockbuster by Karl Pilkington

[Carodacat]

If he was total nerd back then, then there's hope for all of us.

[Thnks4AllTheFish]

@Carodacat He's still a total nerd, lmao. But I concur.

[onerandommoment]

No wonder he never liked Rockbusters.

[sammyash1]

yaz was one of the questions offered up by ricky the temp guy to david brent on the office 'yazoo, yaz! where's your cut off point'

[monalisasmilesforyou]

WOW LOL

[furonguy42]

[raven8344]

Awwwwwww Stephen Merchant looks like 18 watta cutie

[piero101]

15 quid and a pen, that was worth the trip.

[Lolzagirl]

God the graphics are MIND BLOWING!

[alanwhite]

Bristol IS a popular city

[chriswatts83]

Steve's still got that £15, never spent it.

[DrTorture28]

@chriswatts83 He's got £14.50 of it. Karl chose not to give him his 50p back.

[eoghan91]

fecking epic

[Bedlamboogieman]

Its 2 vs 1 then? Thats hardly fair. 

[Udany147]

@Bedlamboogieman A team with two has get more questions right to win than the one player

[SharksKid]

Ricky was right: despite being a bit awkward and self-conscious Steve commands respect.

[qwepoiqpalzm]

for 'E'...

Q. Steve what did yeh dad do?

[GardenHeath]

@qwepoiqpalzm Erasure!

[bluemoon121]

[stopher69]

[leftovers0]

Suddenly every story about Stephen Merchant's childhood is a thousand times funnier just by knowing how he looked.

[simonbodd]

Yazoo!!

[frampoid]

Funny how he never mentioned this on the radio shows.

[jamiethemagictorch]

@frampoid he did actually lol

[p1mac]

The blonde girl really looks like the interviewee that David Brent headbutts, anyone else?

[AnaDroid]

Also...what a darling nerdlinger he is. Apart from those terrible glasses.

[ZombieChick23]

[spudulika23]

[Itsover90]

[kp360]

[jscw92]

So are you a writer now?.... if only he knew haha

[FreshChalk]

Yazzoo surely, i mean where is the cut off? ........

[november1ish]

Who've thought that,that big lanky goggle eyed freak would go on to act alongside Robert De Niro!

Bravo.

[AshmoreVid]

Steve merchant is a legend on this

[Futz5]

@AshmoreVid Correction: Steve Merchant is a legend.

[aldershot84]

If I was Steve I would hunt down that Roopam, she rained on his parade!

It is amazing just how much of a goggly eyed freak boy he looks even back then!!

[bradleyira]

so this is were the little bit on the office came from then

[jamesthefool]

Gash?

[ZwolfZki]

Karl would have done better.

[ffinybryn]

They may have won this time, but how many BAFTAs, Emmys, Golden Globes and Writers' Awards have those girls won?

[hawkeyepierce12]

I'd like to see Jon Tickle (Brainiac: Science Abuse)'s appearance on the show.

[taylor6string]

Yaz!!!!

[scoremanga]

@taylor6string no yazz! it was no. 1

[MiamiSteve07]

Nil Dimand!

[MadSkeelz16]

This is so much slicker than Rockbusters

[00JakeR00]

He lost then they mock his height and send him away.

I bet hes happy though, he got £15 for free. Stingy goggle eyed freak.

[oshay333]

Damn it Roopam!!!

[j3ff86]

De'trout spinners.

[bronson1]

@j3ff86 Christ! De berg!

[FranBMan22]

This man just starred in a film with the Rock... WHAT??

[Guvna07]

What ever happened to that tall man ......... His fifteen minutes of fame just came and went ..... Oh well .......... I'm sure I've heard his voice recently somewhere though ....... Oh well maybe not. He really looks like that agent from extras I think? Only much taller

[19STU84]

Were you a tall baby?

[MrBackflip22]

love it. even aspell is mocking his lankyness. i'd love to have seen pilkingtons reaction to this...not only the bit where aspell compares his and steves height but also trying to get the answers!...EGG!

[ABEJOHNDERDANSER]

What the hell why dident he mention this on the podcast when they did rockbusters?

[cully67]

'YAAAZZZ'

[dontchuckitson]

Why does Merchant look older there, than what he does now?

[StrangeStickMovies]

6.12: 'Gash'. lol.

[doza2112]

1:14 he could have said yazoo, the cut off point is yaz

[TurkishStain]

Detrout Spinners

[seethroughskin]

Yazzoo :P

[Elnonopololo]

Bit of weird art.

[BrightDigitalProduct]

little did Aspel know that Harry Potter would go onto be the rich and famous comedy wizard of today.

[truepoisson]

@BrightDigitalProduct little magical kid with glasses? i've never heard of him.

[ctyrerdavies]

£15 and a fountain pen.

[rafflesia123]

Ha imagine if you came away from a gameshow these days with £15. Worst prize ever.

[ZefWaddy]

just to think, he'd be playing 'RockBusters' with a little round headed fool a few years later. haha.

[amysmiless]

LOOK AT THAT LANKY GOGGLE EYED FREAK

[boovidge]

the right questions didnt come up

[tommos1]

wow stephen is a brain box.

[TheYTChronicles]

Steve is a pretty clever guy, and he did well, but damn that Roopam guy is pretty good.

[ZooRoo999]

@TheYTChronicles

LOL

[alternatereality85]

@TheYTChronicles Lol, I think there are two celebrities here before they were famous. Is Roopam really David Walliams I wonder???

[adam8xz1]

@TheYTChronicles i think hes like 18 here

[IRELANDSELITE]

this b4 he was famous?

[ZefWaddy]

@IRELANDSELITE yes, I think he was still a student at this point. not 100%sure though, he might of been doing the world service for BBC radio.

[hi262779]

@IRELANDSELITE yep

[mayhaps1]

I'm not familiar with this game. why is it 2v1, that hardly seems fair

[Kubo220374]

@mayhaps1 The single player can make a connection with four correct answers whereas the pair have to answer a minimum of five to do the same; this was considered enough to balance the uneven teams. In practice, a good single was just as successful as a good couple

[TheRandyChimp]

I don't know why, but as soon as I saw him, i started laughing. I think it's the concept of him being on a gameshow.

[ColdShaunV2]

This was mentioned on The Steve Show a few years back, the women in the black hair phoned in.

[SLIPKN0Tvids]

8:44 i like the way we see steve jerk at that moment, yet her buzzer goes off. LOL

[oasis4ever92]

Rockbuster*

[videogamenostalgia]

ROCKBUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!

[721jaz]

£15?! That wouldn't have even covered his travel expenses! Steve must have been furious. Have you any idea how much cheese he could have bought with that? Or cold meats?

[bilkyasko]

6:08

[youuser3000]

So this is where the Office story of the temp going on Blockbusters

[mrtpayne89]

there was this Jamaican fella...

[bluesonicno1]

Two against one? How is this fair? :/

[DANNYM35]

I don't believe it... he's gone and written it down!

[cbirkett69]

YAZOO but wheres yor cut off point... YAZ

[Zorg2006]

Oggy Oggy Ogggyyyy!

[chr1sred]

[Kozzy06]

This game was a blatent rip off of ROCKbusters.

[ChainsawVsGod]
