Richard Whiteley Countdown Gotcha

[ZeroMalarki]

RIP Richard Whiteley

[sirtinycreep]

Look at the size of that mobile phone! LOL.

[folderman71]

Reading some of these posts just sums up everything wrong in this world...

[eclectica1]

For the record:

75*8=600

6*3=18

7-2=5

600+18+5=623 :-)

[cherrypopsiclesful]

best show ever

[carterlot2335]

Bring back Noels House Party

[kimbobdavies]

This was such classic TV - ahh the good old days!

[cherrypopsiclesful]

@kimbobdavies who is the man in the dictionary chair ?? with the beard ??

[eclectica1]

@cherrypopsiclesful Richard Stilgoe.

[cherrypopsiclesful]

@eclectica1 thanks

[earlstonb]

lmao,

[rmkw4291]

Carol's trying not to burst out laughing as she's finishing 'OMETHINGS'

[weatherallc05]

noel edmonds=legend

[weatherallc05]

i cannot believe he bloody put 6 2 3 ! absolutele joke

[weatherallc05]

richard was professional in everything he did. but lets be honest why is professionalism soo important? richard reminds me of my grandad in the way they both loved the intellectual stuff. my grandad has so many books in his house and played chess alot, and hearing richard passing away was a big loss

[nippoland]

3:18 - 3:25 Poor Richard

[britturk123]

This man has never been replaced we all miss him.

[SirensCry]

@britturk123 Quite right - Show should have been cancelled when he died - it was a pale imitation of it after, and utterly awful in the end. Is it still on?

[britturk123]

@SirensCryYes It is as you say its just an imitation and your right it should have died along with the wonderfull man.

[stumpysteven73]

A legend!

[PonyTails55]

Such a fun guy to meet.. Saw Richard during the ITV Telethon, held in 1990. At Yorkshire TV Studios. You are much loved and sadly missed. RIP My Sweet Friend Richard!

[eggnogonthebog]

He did that show with his own style. I'll miss that big friendly gentlemen!

[JamesLaverty08]

Such a professional and took it so well. RIP Richard

The numbers game solution:

75x8=600

(7x3)+2=23

600+23=623

[adrianarmesto]

4:37 Best reaction ever! He looks genuinely baffled!

[MHorton1000]

"Am I being stupid here, or is there a nine letter? Poor bastard! He held it together so well.

600+21+2=623

suck on that

[paisleygerry]

God bless you Richard ..........the only TRUE host of the show who was loyal for many years. The others came and went and were just in it for the money but you were always the real GENTLEMAN and LEGEND

[seonidh]

who is the guy again reading out the limerick?

[AccordionManiac]

awesome

[MrPokemonRules]

He said vowels. I heard Bowels

[nippoland]

@MrPokemonRules

He said "[Diarrohea] is a collection of bowels incontinence". Pretty clever.

[Pomaori]

Glad richards gone shows much better now

[aidansband]

@Pomaori The show is much better because of Rachel Riley and how intelligent she is, not Jeff Stelling (although he is funny)

[Pomaori]

@aidansband Fuck off carol voderman is way fitter and jeff sterling is much funnier than richard whitely, thank fuck hes dead he was useless

[aidansband]

@Pomaori Well because I'm 14 I would chose the 25 year old over the 50 year old, and I said that Jeff was funny but Rachel's intelligence is the best part

[aidansband]

@Pomaori and BTW his name is Stelling, not Sterling, thats a currency

[Pomaori]

@aidansband maybe you should grow some pubes first before commenting little nuts and stop wanking over her and constantly commenting about her on multiple videos you stalking, creepy, horny teenage fuck

[aidansband]

@Pomaori how am I masturbating over her when I am saying how smart she is and also because I last countdown I watched with carol on it, I was 3

[skytoweruk]

@Pomaori You evil little person. How can you ever say about someone "thank fuck hes (sic) dead he was useless".

I really pity you. You're about as low as lifeforms can get.

[Pomaori]

@skytoweruk Just my preference at the end of the day. I mean the fucker was a bit of a burden on the states pension fun - he'd been around far too long. He also had a paedophiles manner.

[MCkillU]

Diarrhoea one did he say a combination of "vowels and consonants?" or "bowel incontinence?" because if it was the latter.... fkin hell that was well delivered.

[imnothereactually]

i miss richard

[swanboy2]

lol that comment at the top "rip Chris Tarrant" - go to any video where a fan is praising a celebrity and put an RIP comment. They panic and run off to see what's happened.

[mummimii]

Classic

[checkoutgirl]

TV used to be good. Now we have "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here"

[bpnofal]

This is fantastic! Richard really had no idea what was going on! Everyone played their roles wonderfully to make the joke work!

[lucyrickyalex]

He didn't have diarrhoea, but he had something!

[BatteryEaters]

The female contestants meltdown was very convincing!

[BatteryEaters]

Hahahaha! Great!

[ShimmyDigg]

"No, its pathetic isnt it."

[snatcherb]

haha this is so funny



[craiber71]

He certainly kept his professionalism during the whole show. Hats off to him. RIP Mr Whiteley

[andyhazy]

@craiber71 What a nice guy, shame he's not still around

[videowatcher4006]

Laugh? It wad brilliant. RIP Richard

[Billinghaylad1976]

That was hilarious. lol

[waynebaxter1]

This is brilliant - RIP Richard

[fraserkatie]

With two legends Richard Stilgoe and Richard Whiteley!

[chaffonline]

"Amanda, how many?" "Five." "WHAT?!"

[gartnavel89]

I didn't get "something" either.

I thought the joke was "o me things," as in "my balls hurt."

[ShimmyDigg]

@gartnavel89 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahaha. you.

[paulisftw]

EHEH

[chestypants78]

Thanks so much for the upload, crying laughing here. This is up there with the Master Chef vid. Hahahaha brilliant.

[manudude02]

Carol spelt embarrass wrong at 1:24 :P

[nylonTS]

what a lovey person richird was RIP 

[paulisftw]

@nylonTS *Richard

[danpayne118]

Richard Whitely and Noel Edmonds - 2 national treasures side by side.

[2TWISTEDBALLS]

rip Chris Tarrant

[riboharibo]

@2TWISTEDBALLS lol

[voiceofreason2008]

@2TWISTEDBALLS Chris Tarrant?

That was Richard Whiteley RIP

[2TWISTEDBALLS]

@voiceofreason2008 it should have been Chris Tarrent that died

[voiceofreason2008]

@2TWISTEDBALLS and what makes you say that

Chris Tarrant is a well known and well liked TV and Radio presenter?

What has he possibly done to deserve you wishing he was dead?

[dim432]

@2TWISTEDBALLS he's not dead

[Kaynas1988]

@2TWISTEDBALLS Chris Tarrant hasn't died, he's very much alive

[saxkidatlg]

@2TWISTEDBALLS chris tarrant is still alive and healthy you moron

[BadlyDrawnAlex]

@saxkidatlg His comment was left a year ago.

[eclectica1]

@BadlyDrawnAlex So what? Why should it matter when a comment was left? If it's visible, it has the right to be commented on.

[HOMEnHIGH]

RIP Noel....

[zionravescene]

Noel Edmonds can put a smile on anyone's face.

[KingChiliPepper]

That was like a Karl Pilkington poem! ROUND HEADED ORANGE MANC CUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zionravescene]

LOL, something

[LaurzLRE]

rip richard 

[truuninja1]

That poem was awesome.

[misterjenno]

God Bless you Richard Sleep with God, RIP

[david110988]

ARSEHOLES would have been a really funny 9 letter word

SREAOHSLE

[jaradoref]

I think what would have been funny, instead of having the word SOMETHING come out as OMETHINGS, is to have the word COUNTDOWN come out as OUNTDOWNC. That would have been funny IMO.

[depravedpuma]

This is too funny. We don't get count down in the US but i watch it on youtube every now and then. This was outstanding thank you for posting it...lol

[ramron333]

just been reading that carol was forced out by offering her a 90 percent pay drop

what a lot of charming people in channel 4 management

its a total disgrace

[LFCEOIN]

@ramron333 but do you not think the new girl makes the show more interesting

[ramron333]

@LFCEOIN thats like saying its a pity about the nazis bit that eva girl is a babe

[LFCEOIN]

i only watch countdown cus of her though

[minhasc]

3:19. He realises it isn't funny...by 3:29 he looks like he wants to kill the guy LMAO!

[minhasc]

I miss this guy, he represented an "old fashioned" sort of personality, warm, genuinely loveable....and just nice, plain old nice. Now we're left with complete useless tripe like Russell fu**ing Brand!!! WTF!!!

[cpnstav]

How much do they pay the audience to go in

[JohnRagoon]

An absolute Legend...Missed very much!!.

[Derpdederpduuur]

RIP in peace sweet pronce.

[aiddan124]

cant beleive they didnt get "something" XD

[dthejc]

Good clean entertainment.

[Firthy2002]

Richard Whiteley was a legend. RIP.

[THEDONKDEVIL]

add love one of them mobiles

[MrJasonrolfe]

super legendary



[Paolo15Gula]

75x8=600, 6x3=18, 600+18=618, 7-2=5, 618+5=623. simple. almost...

[KingOfKatamari]

@Paolo15Gula Or 75*8=600, 7*3=21, 600+21+2=623. You don't need to use the 5.

[ClaireLKB]

That is a very good point- they never use the other half of the clock, so why do they have it?

[KingOfKatamari]

@ClaireLKB It's a thirty second countdown.

[mrt2931]

@ClaireLKB because you can't have half a clock!

[weatherallc05]

@ClaireLKB well have you ever seen a clock elsewhere with only half a face ?? what sort of fucking question is that??

[weatherallc05]

@ClaireLKB has to revolve 360 genius

[db1987db]

I'm guessing the mis-spelling of the word Embarass was part of the joke too?

[JapStrangler]

What's the other half of the clock for?

[zenqimaster]

That was brilliant. We need more genuinely funny pranks like this.

[sltr00per]

I met Richard once and he was a lovely man. A true gent.

[HidekiAdam]

Classic Whiteley, great stuff

[welshgit]

seventy five minus six minus seven is sixty two

eight plus two is ten

multiply together, you get six hundred and twenty

then add the three

sorry :-)

[ElTagno]

What a lovely man.

[david110988]

cant belive its been 5 years RIP John Richard Whiteley

[giftedbutlazyuk]

I love ricky whitely

[duddles1986]

awww RIP richard....legend! :)

[SuperNiceguy84]

The irony is Noel is now presenting the show that's on after Countdown lol

[iseeredpeoples]

@SuperNiceguy84 irony???

[SuperNiceguy84]

@iseeredpeoples yes..look at the channel 4 weekday schedules

[iseeredpeoples]

@SuperNiceguy84 i understand were your coming from i just didnt see how it was ironic my friend

[welshgit]

@iseeredpeoples 'superniceguy' is Alannis Morrissette, and I claim my five pounds!

[MrSoprano0125]

bloody hell he was a good sport. He took it well and his reactions was priceless. RIP Richard.

[nestee86]

classis! classis!!! I've got diarrhoea!!!

[Gillyyorkie]

RIP Richard Not the same without you

[HSTCalvin]

OMETHINGS, and she only got 5 LOL

[ayrbrain]

very good I hadn't seen that one!

[phucoff1]

mega, not the same without him and that bitta crumpet, eh, i mean, Carol Vorderman, on it!

[schpongled]

haha! Richard Whiteley was a good sport! RIP

[HSTCalvin]

HAHA LOL

[benjibandido]

countdown is  nowhere near as good as when richard and carol were hosting,

now we have some sports commentator and a blonde bint.

Boooooooo!

[RioGiovanni]

LOL!

[gayguylovescock28]

This was funny, but I'm surprised R.W didn't get suspicious by the time "something" appeared.

[garryniceguy]

75 x 8 =600 3 x 7 = 21 add it on too the 600 u get 621 and add on the 2 and u get 623 lol i watch countdown everyday and quite often get the numbers round right when contestants dont.

then i watch deal or no deal and calculate te average.

[padawanpjt33]

@garryniceguy Or 75 * 8 + (2 + 3) * 6 - 7.

[padawanpjt33]

@padawanpjt33 Or (75 + 3) * 8 + 6 - 7

[garryniceguy]

@padawanpjt33 we must be really sad doing aeithnetic.

[michaelgcuk]

Just out of curiosity, at the end of the clip, just as it fades back to Noel (then stops) is that a mini-gunge tank i see?

[codalisa007]

Definitely one of the greatest 'Gotchas'

[misterlorik]

Poor RW he was great! This is a classic vid!

[daedralord1]

noel wont bring it back because the bbc pushed him away and kinda siad that people didnt want this kinda show on anymore...

[Jami393]

This was a really funny thing they did to Richard.

[emilslattery]

@Jami393

really? nice observation

[garryniceguy]

lol look at the size of that mobile phone.

[Jami393]

@garryniceguy Yeah that was the size of them in the 80's.

[angels77100]

This fails only because of the (supposed) contestant Richard and his overacting. Contestants never ever speak on the show unless spoken to. This guy ruined the whole thing for me I'm afraid.

[estupido7490]

For an American who is not used to Countdown, trust me this was absolutely hilarious. Can someone humor me, what was bleeped out at 6:21? I didn't quite hear the whole sentence.

[estupido7490]

Nevermind! I just realized it was bollocks.

[bingbling]

he said - "look me in the eye, you know you're talking a lot of b*llocks don't you".

[Cryten1974]

Bring back Noels House Party, was great Saturday evening Telly.

[angels77100]

@Cryten1974 No chance. Noel's house party and the typical saturday evening line-up was rubbish. Blind Date, Family fortunes? All rubbbish.

[mousstard]

4:37 WHAT!!

[Olekander]

hahhahaahahah really made my evening.

[mousstard]

numbers game solution - 75x8=600+2=602. 7x3=21, 602+21=623

[raw5format]

Good old Richard!

[everyone06]

I've got Diarrhoea.

[HelmutVillam]

RIP Richard

[WarOfTheKnights]

Who is that guy in 8:36?

[Mojo29]

@WarOfTheKnights That's Noel Edmunds who hosted the TV show "Noels House Party" which is what this show is off (and now does "Deal or No Deal")

[blivz2007]

edmonds hes a genius

[rchan0]

this is brilliant

[jackobcooper]

RIP Richard

[ju04rob]

richard and carol where the best but its time to let the new couple have a go and wish them good luck,im sure richard would want them to do well

[DaleGribble1000]

I just watched the full episode, its so painful its just wonderful

[sharplesal]

noel edmonds used to be funny...those were the days

[Grendel2912]

Just funny!!

[HarusElric]

Rest in peace Richard

[160newcrossroad]

priceless thanks

[slashingraven]

"A collection of bowels incontinence, basically"

D'oh!

[BWFCUCL15]

I love that Limerick! Top notch!

[greggles2412]

I have the whole 53 minutes on VHS - GLORIOUS :)

[thecritic2007]

R.I.P Richard

[jamieb5581]

Richards face at 4:38 is a treat! He was Countdown...Its not the same anymore, especially now Carol is gone.

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

Oh poor Richard I would want to kill myself XDDDDDDDDD

[colinwebb12]

(75 x 8) + (7 x 3) + 2= 623

[KingsIndianCR]

@colinwebb12 That's how I did it too.

[ReloadPsi]

Wow. This is fucking excellent!
