Here's my idea: Give Alexei Sayle and Tim Minchin a whole lot of money to make a weekly television show.

Crazy Goddess Agreed for the most part, but that "Snap" moment was just bizarre.

I can't help but notice Tim's look of bewilderment throughout the whole show, as if to say "What the fuck is going on in here?"

Even the crowd is hilarious

Alexei sure can dance. Anyone seen, "Didn't you kill my brother"? Amazing.

Great seeing Alexei again

I genuinely loved the NHS souvenir idea! :D

"I went to a chiropractor and got another appointment". LMAO, that's all you ever get.

Tim has been a favorite of mine since I found out about him, but I was really happy to see Alexei again! I miss The Young Ones.

I love how tim hits him and he doesn't even care, if this was a show in my country, the other guy would have snapped. Love this show though

i think to that sheep thing, directly before and after the jump wouldnt there be a greater force acting on the floor as the sheep pushes down before leaving the ground and then lands once more. That extra force would create extra fuel consumption so it would have no effect. I think.

I love this!! Brilliant ! Thank you for posting this damo.

In fact, the truck would weigh more if the budgies were in flight, because E=mc^2, and the truck full of flying budgies would have greater mass.

The first question is nonsense. Our force of gravity is from the bulk of the earth itself. The moon affects the tides. But the force of the earth keeps us drawn to it

nice job Tim! Stellar.

I still have a shameless crush on Alexi Sayle...

Brilliant.

This show is perfect for Dad jokes...

The whole sheep thing wouldn't work because, since "every action has an equal and opposite reaction", the sheep push down on the lorry with as much force as they jump upwards with, thereby don't saving any weight consumption

It took me 24 minutes to ask myself "what the fuck am I watching?!"

Alexei turned in to his own alter-ego " A Fat Bastard" :)

Am I the only one nerdy enough to think it ironic that for the plural of "genius," they say "geniuses?"

Wow, series 2 was a mess. The first series had potential, but this was all over the place. Alexis Sayle looked so depressed at the situation. Tim Minchin gave up trying to be funny, as soon as he realised how wasted his efforts would be on it. Dave Gorman is a comedy legend, but you wouldn't tell from this. I think it was a blessing that it ended before too many people even noticed it, and Dave Gorman ended up writing and starring in the the absolute classic-in-the-making Modern Life Is Goodish.

20:25... when the camera is pointed at the crowd... am i the only one seeing someone looking like David Draiman there?!?

D Williams I doubt he was supposed to represent the physics faculty. It's rather light-hearted fun. In fact, none of these audience members seem to genuinely aspire to claim the title of a genius. It's just how the show works. Like scripted improv. For instance, that one man suggesting that lorries carrying budgies make the budgies fly during transport to reduce the load on the lorry. Which is hilarious and bizarre. Physics Andrew says at 7:17 : "I'm gonna say no. But then, I haven't done the module of budgie aerodynamics. I've got a lot to learn." Bloke isn't being sincere. It's all just taking the piss all in the name of entretaînement.

I love the idea of a karma machine. xD

Bonkers!

This 2nd year university student thinks the earth would be lighter without the moon???? WTF!

I'm pretty sure the physics student was wrong both times. We would still have all the gravity we have now and budgies that weren't touching the truck in a downward fashion would reduce the weight.

Nope, the downward pressure created by the wing flaps used to support the weight of the budgies would just replace the force of the weight. For every action and all...

Are they taking the piss?

Is this still on? I think this is brilliant haha

I've fekkin been in mobile bars, alky!

Intro is so cool and one person who make it . CYRIAK HARRISON

Two entertaining comedians, and Dave Gorman

I weep for our education system.

/Geniuses/ is perfectly correct. Genii is the correct plural for "genius loci" (the spirit of a place). The correct plural for genius (intelligent person) is, as given, /geniuses/. TRiG.

Nemesis finder is genius!

How did this get to a second series?

While its true that genius comes from Latin, the plural version (Genii) is only applied when using the word in its original meaning, that is, a spirit of some kind. So if you are talking about people who are intelligent, its Genius, and if you are talking about spirits, its Genii.

Poor Tim, he just wanted to play his little songs.

So the title of the show if in fact ironic?

Was that intro made by cyriak?

I am working hard to remedy that!

It should be quite easily done. Report back when you've finished!

the girl around 5:00 reminds me of Arya from GOT (Maisie Williams)

This is funny

stop you are giving me hiccups from laughing !!!! I needs to drink water backwards from a glass a trick my Dad taught me as a kid and it works EVERY TIME TRY IT Jay

nice intro

Brit humour can be safely assumed to be heavily ironic (or sardonic/satirical/sarcastic) unless packaged with a warning label. People who take the ideas of this game show seriously (and go on to dismiss their plausibility) are clearly not from a Brit culture. Possibly a culture with Germanic influences (eg US, Sthn Chile and other parts of Sth America, Netherlands, etc etc...) Any care to 'fess up?
