@MartinTheReader The humour is based on the obvious presence of the word Bollocks (a slightly impolite word meaning rubbish). Rather than saying the show is absolute rubbish, they make up the word Sloblock, which everyone knows isn't actually a word. Thus they can completely insult the show without saying a word against it. It's typical back-handed British humour.

@stilicho2 Oh, is there an aspect of it that I missed? Please fill me in, I think I've got some kind of grip on Countdown and the english language but if there are more jokes in this I really want to know. God knows there are already enough references I don't get, I wouldn't like there to be some I don't even notice I'm missing.

I laughed so hard at Stephen in particular that I almost fell of my chair
