@hirizeproductions it's nothing to do with intelligence. Humor tends to be pretty unique to each country, and it doesn't always get as good a reception overseas as it would in its country of origin. Saying you're American and still find British humor funny is a compliment, it means it still translates well overseas.
Ive noticed Rich Hall is appearing less, I won't say I didn't like him as a regualr but he did tend to lack a certain something, I'm glad others are being given the opportunity instead in these later episides
@jennielejon I was just going to say, I think he looks really quite good in it. Is that wrong of me? He's probably at least 20 years older than I am x)
I can't pinpoint what it is exactly, but I just love Johnny Vegas. I want to have him over for tea. Hopefully he would jump out the window at some point ;)
i wont pretend i know who pam is, but she was pretty boring on this. she was brilliant at digging herself out of the 'puffed' hole. jeremy clarkson would have been interesting on this show i think.
It's quite interesting that stephen said "the germans were the kind of utter swine who wouldn't lay cricket" because his great grand uncle I believe, C.B. Fry a professional cricket player tried to convince hermann von Ribbentrop that he Germans should start playing cricket, before the war started. I can't vouch for this it was on wikipedia, but if it's true that's quite interesting...
@TobiasTurkelton No he didn't- he approached it. But that man is supporting another skydiver- forget the name- who is about to attempt to break his record and is expected to break the sound barrier.
@KeladryL I find him annoying sometimes as well.But sometimes he comes out with a gem of brilliance.Like when he said as a joke that corn flakes where invented to prevent masturbation & he turned out to be right.
I love Alan's wince as his buzzer-plane explodes.

if they replaced pam with Jo Brand or Ross Noble it would be the best lineup ever.
