Starting point is 00:11:35 Vagina pause right before your eyes. I'm birthing Paul out my face hole. Come on, mate. I hate you sometimes. I genuinely do.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Stop the show. You've been very mean. I've read the other... My heart is very, very fragile. Okay. And you break my heart many times. I'm sorry. You don't even know how deep you cut sometimes.
Starting point is 00:11:57 I'm sorry. And I cry. I've actually read the Thursday Murder Club. Is that a modern song? Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's quite charming. I find it quite charming. It's an easy that a mob song? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's quite charming. I find it quite charming.
Starting point is 00:12:07 It's an easy read, you know? Yeah, I know. I just find it so cynical. Thursday Murder Club. Oh. I find it so cynical. Are you ready to move on now? Yeah, I'm ready to move on
Starting point is 00:12:16 to Thursday Burger Club. After your little break down. Thursday Burger Club. Yeah, Thursday Burger Club. Oh, I wanted to ask you, Biffo. Oh, yeah. You like McDonald's sometimes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Have you had the chicken Big Mac? I have, actually. Yeah. I had it last week, so it's very timely. What did you think? I thought it was poor. Yeah. It doesn't work, does it?
Starting point is 00:12:33 And also, because of the coating, it slips out. Yeah. Not well-constructed. It's not well-constructed. It's a gimmick. It's a gimmick. It doesn't work. It doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Welcome to Pointless. It's the quiz where you've got to know the most pointless... You don't understand, right? Can we get something out of the way? Yeah, go on. Paul, when we've been planning this show, you've struggled with the whole concept of Pointless as a game show. Admit it.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I'm just going to drink water to mentally distract myself from this, whatever this ends up being. Admit that you have struggled to actually understand what Pointless is why don't you tell me pointless is a game show paul that we're about to play a board game version of yeah where you are trying to find the most obscure correct answer to a question that's basically the the the dynamic so yes and the overall game is to be the person with the least points to get through to the next round. So, similar to Family Feud, or Family Fortune as it's known in this country, it's based on surveys they do.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Is it? With people. They ask 100 people to name things. It's like the opposite of Family Fortune. Instead of getting the most popular answer, you're trying to get the least. Yes. Yeah. Why are you two explaining to the man who's running the game how to play it?
Starting point is 00:13:47 He doesn't understand it. I just know the paper in front of me and what the rules say and how you play it. Oh, God. Regardez the rules. Round one. A number of questions asked in round one is two to eight. Oh, you get two each. I'm going to ask you one question each throughout this.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Right? So you'll get a question each. It's very exciting. And I've picked questions out I'm going to ask you one question each throughout this, right? So you'll get a neat question each. It's very exciting. And I've picked questions out in advance that I thought you might have a crack at
Starting point is 00:14:09 unless you know the history of like Israeli prime ministers. Anyone? Benjamin Netanyahu. I don't think that's going to be a pointless score though, is it?
Starting point is 00:14:17 Because if everyone got it, it looks like that's the one. Shimon. Michael Jackson. Who's he? Israeli prime minister. Shimon there was one called Shimon though come on wasn't there
Starting point is 00:14:34 are we doing Israeli presidents or what Shimon the motherfucker goodbye everyone who's going first I'm laughing at this I like this
Starting point is 00:14:42 I'll tell you what I've got coin side A is heads and and side, team. Oh, shit. What? What the hell is going on? All you have to do is toss a coin. Heads is team A.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Is that a real coin? It's not a real coin. It's a 10-pence piece. Of course it's real. Well, then it's got heads and tails. It hasn't got A or B. No, I know. I'm getting confused.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I'm getting confused. You're upsetting me. You're upsetting me, Tommy. Side A or side B? Of a coin. It's like the man who fell to earth here, isn't it? Do you call A or B? Right, so heads is team Team A Tails is Team B
Starting point is 00:15:25 Use our team names No, no, no We made us do team names Okay Octavius hates our team names Heads Bif-tavius Is Bif-tavius' heads
Starting point is 00:15:35 That's so shit Tails, yes it is Come on A bit of loyalty And a bit of unity And tails is Ethigum Ethigum Here we go It is heads So do you want to take the first question and a bit of unity. And tails is e-thigh gum.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Here we go. It is heads. So do you want to take the first question or do you want them to go first? Is that side A then? Yeah, heads. We don't care. You don't care. Haven't they looked lovely?
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, you want to go first yeah alright okay cool so here's a quick thing so I'm going to ask this is just for you this question
Starting point is 00:16:10 just for you you get the next one but just for you just for you this is the first one your side B okay right so
Starting point is 00:16:18 name the character's superhero alter ego I'm going to read out six wait so I've got to come up with the least well known I'm going to read out six... I've got to come up with the least well-known. I'm going to read out five alter egos, and I want you to pick the one you think was the least chosen during the survey Eli previously brought up
Starting point is 00:16:36 to explain the rules of the game. Wow. It was a pretty good description. Right, so here are your options. You have Billy Batson, Bruce Banner, Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent,
Starting point is 00:16:48 or James Howlett. So which one of those is the most pointless answer, I guess? Well, I know who they all are. Yeah, do you? I don't know the first and the last. Billy Batson is Captain Marvel, or Shazam, depending on whether you...
Starting point is 00:17:03 The DC one. DC one. Howlett the Green Lantern? No, that's Wolverine. Aren't you glad you didn't get this question? That's Wolverine's... I didn't know he had a...
Starting point is 00:17:11 I thought he was Logan. Logan... No, no. Logan, he's... It's a long story. It is. I don't have time for it. Logan was the name...
Starting point is 00:17:20 He took the name of a bloke that he knew when he was a kid. He was called Logan. Oh, God. Well, that's not... Which one? Which one's the He took the name of a bloke that he knew when he was a kid. It was called Logan. Which one's the most least popular answer? We've got Billy Batson, Bruce Banner, Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent and James Howlett.
Starting point is 00:17:39 It's obviously between Batson and Howlett. Yeah. Which one do you want to go for? Which one do you want to go for? Wolverine's a more popular character, better known. But do they know that alter ego thing? Exactly. I'm going to say Wolverine.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Wolverine. Howlett. Howlett. So Howlett. Howlett at the moon. Right. The score for that was... I'll read them out, actually. Billy Batson was a pointless answer.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Oh, fucking hell. You would have got that. But Bruce Banner was the Hulk. That was 61. Bruce Wayne's Batman, 73.. You would have got that. But Bruce Banner was the Hulk. That was 61. Bruce Wayne's Batman, 73. Clark Kent, Superman, 90.
Starting point is 00:18:09 James Howlett, Wolverine, one. Why is Peter Parker left off this? I don't know. I don't know. It's unfair on
Starting point is 00:18:16 Spider-Man, isn't it? I'll ask the quiz ombudsman about the lack of Spider-Man. I will be phoning the ombudsman. Get the ombudsman on the line.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Is he a superhero as well? Right, Eli. He just bumbles. That's his power. Eli, your question, your round is on famous children and their famous papas. Okay. So, what are the famous fathers of these famous children? Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Angelina Jolie, Emilio Estevez, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lily Allen, Lucy Davis. are the famous fathers of these famous children. Okay. Angelina Jolie, Emilio Estevez, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lily Allen, Lucy Davis. Which one of those is the pointless answer? It's the one I don't know, isn't it? Potentially. That's usually how quizzes work. Lily Davis. Lily Allen.
Starting point is 00:19:00 I'll read them again. Angelina Jolie, Emilio Estevez, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Lily Allen. And Lucy Davis. I'm not doing it again. Angelina Jolie, Emilia Estevez, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Lee Allen, Lily Allen, and Lucy Davis. I'm not doing it again. Lucy Davis. That's the one.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I bet that's the pointless one, but I don't know who her dad is. I do. I do. Even though I just looked, but I did know. I thought everyone knew. No, we're not passing it.
Starting point is 00:19:20 It doesn't work like that. Do I score? Do I have to get the pointless one? No, you just get, you got to get as low as you can. If you't know the point just go for the lowest one you think yeah that i know so and let me just see if i got this in my head angelina jolie is just answer a question is john voight angelina jolie is john voight martin no she's john daughter of john voight she isn't john voight is she
Starting point is 00:19:42 she's not an amalgam beast creature of the two. Amalgam? Yeah. Come on, mate. Don't try and pull people off when they talk. This is outrageous, Paul. He's a trained actor, yeah? No, what's truly outrageous is...
Starting point is 00:19:55 He's not a trained actor. No, I learnt on the streets. Street acting. You can either answer the question or I'm going to forfeit because I'm bored of you. I am going to answer the question. Just give me a chance. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Jon Voight. Quick aside. Read them out against me. Ethan, you were on Pointless recently. It's not been broadcast yet and no spoilers, but did you put up with this shit happen?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Would this shit happen on Pointless? It would be trimmed out in the edit. Yeah. I'm going to trim this out in the edit. Jon Voight. What was the next one? Right. It was Angelina Jolie
Starting point is 00:20:25 Emilia Weston Jamie Lee Curtis Lily Allen and Lucy Davis Jamie Curtis I will say there is no pointless answer this time around
Starting point is 00:20:33 so if that helps you pick quickly oh it's that guy I can't even think of Jamie Lee Curtis his dad it's that guy Tony Curtis
Starting point is 00:20:42 I think that's probably going to be the least known I'll go for Tony Curtis so you're that's probably going to be the least known. I'll go for Tony Curtis. So you're going to go with Jamie Lee Curtis as your answer? I'll go for that one. Okay, Lee Curtis. And so here we go.
Starting point is 00:20:56 From top to bottom, Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight, you were right on that. That was 21. Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen, that was worth 23. Jamie Lee Curtis, you said that one. The That was worth 23 Jamie Lee Curtis You said that one The answer was obviously Tony Curtis 48 Oh fuck off
Starting point is 00:21:10 For that one So they're bought Just to round them all off Lily Allen was the daughter Of Keith Allen 25 Lucy Davis She's the daughter of
Starting point is 00:21:19 Jasper Carrot Jasper Carrot And that's the lowest 10 Yeah So 48 points there. We're going now over back to Team Bifftavious. It's going very well.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Are you excited? Here we are. This is the one I've got for you. Put it in me little slot. Hit. All right, calm down. This is on the Muppets. Do you know the Muppets well?
Starting point is 00:21:42 No. Oh, dear. Right. Five. We can't confer. No. Okay, so you are looking for, the answers to these will be five clues to facts about the Muppets. So I'm going to read you five clues and the answer is the least known fact, if that makes sense. Okay, so one, actor who played Ebenezer Scrooge in the Muppets Christmas Carol.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Number two, the creator of The Muppets. Number three, directed the 2011 film The Muppets. Number four, Kermit the Frog's nephew, who sings Halfway Down the Stairs. And finally, Muppet, who famously flirted with Michael Parkinson in 1978. So which one of those clues is going to have the answer that people got the least? The one about the film, probably.

It's going to be the same question for you both, but there are two different answers. I'll ask this time. Yes. So round two, right? So I'm gonna basically ask you the question It's gonna be the same question for you both, but there are two different answers I'll ask you first and then give you a score and then I'm gonna ask you the second batch of answers Do you need to lie down? I just nearly twatted myself with the microphone.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I saw my life flash before my eye. It wasn't very fun. A haunting experience for you. I'm glad it could happen here today. Right, so here is your question for Team Eli Thumb. Gum, up your bum. E-fi gum. It's easy enough to remember. It's's not though uh when you've got a brain like mine right here we go i'm gonna ask one question there are two sets of answers eli
Starting point is 00:32:51 gets to pick from the first set right here we go little britain is your topic oh fuck you know any actor who is credited in seven or more episodes of little britain is that it yeah i don't have to get anything right no he's got to guess which one of these names was the least answered for this question. Oh, yes. Okay. Right, so these appeared in seven or more episodes of Little Britain. Is that right? I don't know. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:33:13 Yeah. Where's the quiz element? You've got to still guess which one was the least known actor from this list. Wait, are there some in there that won? Yeah. No. Okay, well, this is a shit game. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Eli. Shitless. So I just pick which name I think is the most least. Yeah, because you might recognise more names over another. So, like, I'll read it out. Okay. Anthony Head. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Did he? Uh-huh. David Walliams. Ruth Jones. Sally Rogers. Stephen Aintree, David Tennant. Which one of those do you think was the least known when asked? Say them again.
Starting point is 00:33:50 One time. Just one time. Anthony Head, David Walliams, Ruth Jones, Sally Rogers, Stephen Aintree, David Tennant. Ruth Jones. She's worth 18. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. All right. You got 18 for that then. In this second board, there are, ding, ding, ding. All right, you've got 18 for that then.
Starting point is 00:34:05 In this second board, there are wrong answers. Oh, great. All right. That's fun. So you've got James Corden, Matthew Horne, Steve Bentham, Steve First, Sterling Gallagher, Tom Baker, or Lindsay Duncan. Go for Steve Bentham. Steve Bentham is a pointless answer.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Nice one. You owe me 250 quid. Do I? Yeah. In real life. That's how it works in the show. They add 250 quid to the jackpot. You're never seeing it.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Why did I come here? Right. Good answer. Your topic is the films of Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester. Is he? Is he Sylvester? I heard helvester? Is he Sylvester? Sylvester?
Starting point is 00:34:50 Is he like a robot action hero? Sylvester Stallone. No, he's a mime. Mr Biffo, I'm going to read out seven Rocky films seven Sylvester Stallone films and I need you to tell me which you think is obviously the least known of those are there any wrong ones
Starting point is 00:35:11 there are in this one there are no wrong ones there are a few wrong ones in this one here we go I did you a solid because you might have gone
Starting point is 00:35:18 for an excuse so ones that you shouldn't pick because they is not in you get no points well no you get 100 points don't you if you get the wrong answer?
Starting point is 00:35:26 Yeah. My God, your grasp on pointless is honestly dumbfounding. It's eye-watering. It makes it fun. Right, here's your films. Rocky II, Rocky IV, Rhinestone, Demolition Man, Rocky Balboa. Slow down. I'll start from the top.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Slow down. Rocky II. Not that slow. Rocky IV. It's a happy 2. Not that slow. Rocky 4. It's a happy medium. Like Derek Okora. Rocky 2. Rocky 4.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Rhinestone. Demolition Man. Rocky Balboa. Tango in Cash. Escape to Victory. Can you avoid the wrong answers and give me the pointless? I'm going to say the pointless one, Escape to Victory, which he was definitely in. Escape to Victory is a pointless answer.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Yeah, well done. Well done there. A lot of people forget he was in that. Yeah, a small bit. And he did that without cheating as well, which is very impressive.
Starting point is 00:36:13 I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I bet you don't, mate. Are you ready, Octavius? Here we go. Keep an eye on Biffo. I'm going to read out the same number,
Starting point is 00:36:21 seven more. Here we go. First Blood, Lock Up, Daylight, Paradise Alley, Nighthawks Over the Top or Cobra I literally have none of these questions are anything
Starting point is 00:36:34 that I would ever be able to answer Have you got any questions that are about clinical depression and being very lonely Let me have a look You're here with us now I've got things that happened in Eli Silverman's life. Oh, shut up. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:36:48 I get it. I get it. I get it. Like, I'm never fucking lonely. For fuck's sake. Which one of those do you think is the least known? I mean, think about it. Think about what's the least known of these that you know of.
Starting point is 00:37:03 I'm just going to have a little bit of water. Do you not fucking know the answer? No, don't cheat. I wasn't actually really listening. Don't cheat. If you cheat, I'll dock your points or add points. I'm not quite sure how it works. Add dock points.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Octavius would like you to read them out again. All right. Remember, there are wrong answers here as well. Yes. Right, so First Blood, Lock Up, Daylight, Paradise Alley, Nighthawks, Over the Top or Cobra. Right, yeah. You're the coughing major. What the fuck is this?
Starting point is 00:37:35 I've got a movie. I can't say. It was... I completely forgot. Who was it? Daylight? Maybe. Daylight. You say daylight.
Starting point is 00:37:51 It is a wrong answer. So 100 points to you. Wait a minute. Yeah. There are certain ones on here that you shouldn't answer. He was in daylight. He was in daylight, but it was such a well-known answer. It's a wrong answer.
Starting point is 00:38:04 You should have gone with over the top. The wrong answers are ones that he wasn't in. No, but they put some wrong ones in, which are the ones you just don't... Now, how is it wrong? How is it wrong
Starting point is 00:38:13 if it's the fucking question? It's not a wrong answer if he's in it. It's almost like you pulled these instructions out of your face, Vagina. This is what it says. You did, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:38:21 There are questions where you don't... They're all in there. Just pulling them all out. Paul, what is the question? Read the top of the card for me. Feature films are still Sylvester Stallone. He's in all of them. You've got to know the least popular one.
Starting point is 00:38:31 But you told me some of the ones that he hadn't done. No, I didn't. I said just the wrong answers. How is it wrong? It's not wrong. They're just questions that I presume they don't give you... I've never seen you. Why is there a cross on it then?
Starting point is 00:38:45 You tell me. Can I see the cross? You tell me! Can I see the cross? What the shit is going on? Let me have a look at this. Oh, it's a Katy Perry question. Is this literally what it was like when you went on the show?
Starting point is 00:38:58 No, it's much cleaner. Here we go. Here is the detail. Here is the little detail. If you just take a second to consider your environment and fucking read things properly, any feature film starring Sylvester Stallone released in the 1980s, Daylight must have been.
Starting point is 00:39:16 I did say that, though. No, you did not. I did say that. I did say that, though. Roll the tape. We all know Daylight was in the 90s. Anyway, the point still stands And at the end of that round
Starting point is 00:39:27 No it doesn't Are you cheating on one And now you We would have totally Got that one That's our gimme That's our gimme Everything is right in the world
Starting point is 00:39:35 Don't you worry That's your gimmick Gimme I say Your gimmick is We're very optimistic My gimmick is Not cheating Gimme gimme gimme
Starting point is 00:39:44 A man after daylight. At the end of that round, the scores are Biff Tavius, 104 points, and Ethai Gum, 155 points. They're catchable. Round three is head-to-head. Right. The question is asked to all players
Starting point is 00:40:05 All the players answer in order of lowest Right so that's side A to side A What the fuck is going on with you In this round players or teams Ask to provide one answer to each question Conferring is not allowed Players must always write down Once all the players or teams
Starting point is 00:40:22 Have given a single answer the question master Will pull the card out and give Players or teams the scores in the last hour i feel like i've aged about 10 years horrible day we thought we thought a couple of weeks ago was the darkest day so i read a question right and then what i get answers from you each, and then we see... I don't know, Paul. Are you asking us? I don't know. You're actually asking us what you were meant to do.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Do you want me to read it? Should I sort this out? I can sort it out. I'm going to ask a question to all of you. Okay. The team behind, which is you, get the first chance to pick a question, right? Yes. And then they get a chance to pick a question with what's left.
Starting point is 00:41:06 An answer, you mean, rather than the opposite words. So here's the question for everyone. Because they're behind, they get to pick the first go at it and then you get to pick what's left. As a team. As a team, so you can confer. Right, here we go. Round three, head-to-head, is Wallace and Gromit
Starting point is 00:41:22 films. So, Eli, Ethan, you're going first. Are you familiar with these, Ethan? A couple. We'll see what happens. Here's what you're looking for. Any film which stars the animated characters Wallace and Gromit up to the end of 2010. This
Starting point is 00:41:37 includes short films and made for television shorts. Here are your answers. A Grand Day Out, A Close Shave. A close shave. A matter of loaf and death. The curse of the weir rabbit. And the wrong trousers.
Starting point is 00:41:53 So, you're going to pick one of those. It's not the wrong trousers are very famous, isn't it? Of those, I'd go for loaf and death. The wrong trousers are very famous. One of those is very famous. I'd agree. It's got to pick. We're ready to pick our answer. Which one are you going to pick?
Starting point is 00:42:05 Loaf of Death. Matter of Loaf and Death. Right, I'll put that down. Loaf, which gives you these four left. Right, ready? You have Grand Day Out, Close Shave, We're a Rabbit, Wrong Trousers. Which one do you want to pick for those? That was their first one.
Starting point is 00:42:21 More cheese, Gromit. Which of those have you heard of? All of them. What's he doing there? Does that with his hands? Is he wanking two
Starting point is 00:42:29 guys off? Yes, he's wanking two guys off into his face. Yeah, into his face vagina. Is that how you get your face pregnant? No, it's not how I
Starting point is 00:42:36 inseminate my face. Is that how Sheila gets her face pregnant? See, you're offended but you started this. I know. Which one are you going to go for?
Starting point is 00:42:45 I don't. I can't remember what I worked for. One last time. A grand day out, a close shave, wee a rabbit, wrong trousers.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Well, when was the wee a rabbit one? That was like... Well, okay, that one. That was... But wasn't that like 2012 or something?
Starting point is 00:42:58 I don't know. I mean, I've kind of been a shut-in for the last 10 years so I don't even know. Go on. Grand day out, close shave, wee a rabbit, trousers. Give me an answer now even know go on grand day out close shave we're rabbit trousers give me an answer now we're going grand day out grand day out okay day out so what did you lot go for
Starting point is 00:43:15 a matter of loafing death so uh a grand day out watson gromit that would have got could we have gone for the same one as him no there's no's no game then, otherwise. No, there's no game then. Right, so Wallace and Gromit Granday out would have gotten you seven points. Seventeen points, sorry. Seventeen points. A close shave. Twelve points. A matter of loaf and death, which is what you said, is just four points.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Oh, for God's sake. Lowest one in the game. The Were-Rabbit would have got you 30. Wrong Trousers was 53. So, Grand Day Out got you 17, which isn't that bad. It's not that bad. It was the one right in the middle. The
Starting point is 00:43:59 highest rated one was the Wrong Trousers with 53. I think Were-Rabbit was the feature film, wasn't it? Yeah. Right. Next one. Oh, I'll tell with 53. I think Were-Rabbit was the feature film, wasn't it? Yeah. Right, next one. Oh, I'll tell you what, I'll give you an option,

Starting point is 00:44:21 Is there any other option? Yeah, in that case, I'm going to give you The Fast Show. Any actor who is credited in seven or more episodes of the fast show your team is still behind

Starting point is 00:45:01 Are you okay? No, we know I'm not. Fast Show, I'm going to read out a bunch of names. I need you to think which was the least known of these names. Right, so Fast Show actors who appeared in seven or more episodes. Annabella Weir, Carolina Hearn, Charlie Higson, Colin McFarlane, Donna Ewan, Errol Maynard, Mark Williams, Nick Holder, Paul Shearer,
Starting point is 00:45:25 Paul Whitehouse, Philip Pope. And there are a number of pointless answers here. You can consider it. Whitehouse is going to be the obvious one. Yeah, it's not going to be Whitehouse or Hearn. Or Higson, I don't know. Or was Higson even in it?
Starting point is 00:45:37 Did he just write it? No, he was in it. Oh, no, yeah, yeah. He was in it. He was the painter. I'm sort of leaning towards Colin McFarlane.

Starting point is 00:46:49 You've got to pick one Shearer Shearer or Ewan The lad Shearer Alright, okay, here we go Here are, because this is a long list
Starting point is 00:47:03 I'll just read out your answers So, you guys picked What Here are, because this is a long list, I'll just read out your answers. So you guys picked, what was it? Sorry again. Errol Maynard. Errol Maynard. And Errol Maynard is a pointless answer. Well done, Eli. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Well done. There's several, so we might get it as well. Paul Shearer. I'll say well done if you get that. You said Paul Shearer. Paul Shearer is unfortunately also a pointless answer. Well done. Well done, guys.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Come on. Well done. No gloating. Now, here we go. They're dancing. They're exercising. Monkey yoga. I like it.
Starting point is 00:47:44 It feels therapeutic. It's good for the voice, isn't it? Just like a real pointless poll. It's how I remember it. So at the end of that round, Bif Tavius has 108 points and Ethai Gum has 172.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Oh dear. They did very well in that matter of loaf and death. Did very well, didn't they? We're on to the final round. Thank God. Round four, the end game. One question is asked. It's very exciting, isn't it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:19 This round... If two teams yes, the question master asks the question i'm having real trouble speaking that was physically difficult to hear i'm editing that out we're all right i'm believing god master asks the players a question the difference in this round is that the player or team who has accumulated the most points goes first and gives three answers. The team who has accumulated
Starting point is 00:48:48 the second most gives two answers. Alright, then I reveal the scores to each player or team and the answer is given. And then the one
Starting point is 00:48:56 with the lowest over those accumulative scores gets the most. Right, so the catch-up mechanic is that we get to pick more answers and we get the lowest one.
Starting point is 00:49:03 So here we go. So we pick three and we take the lowest. You pick two and you take the lowest that's the catch up so out of those no you picked no you picked two no they picked three because they're behind we're currently losing so we've got this is the the manufactured yeah catch-up mechanic so we keep saying catch-up mechanics I'm going to keep saying catch-up mechanic. Catch-up mechanic. That's a character, Paul. Be the catch-up mechanic.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Hey, I'll do it. I'll do it. Hey, hey, wait, wait. I need to fix your car. I need to fix your car. Wait. No, come on, slow down a bit. That actually might be your magnum opus.

Starting point is 00:50:07 we might not agree with it how are we meant to come to this conclusion we flip two coins if it's side A flick a four sided coin we flip coin A and coin B but we both have an A and B side It's like a round robin
Starting point is 00:50:26 So whichever one wins Then we put the coins on Then that goes in And then you put the coins on to Paul Smith And then his mouth Then we fill out a form in triplicate And then we submit that Okay so
Starting point is 00:50:39 I'm just going to pick a topic The topic is Yeah you're the games master Take fucking control Don't pick that author one We're going to do James Ellroy novel No we're not We're going to pick a topic.

Starting point is 00:57:22 Unfortunately. Team Bifftavious with 109 points, playing Ethan Gumbs, 190 points. Yay! So that's a point to Team A. Hooray! Right, I'm going to have a stroke. I'm going to talk to you about it after these advertisement breaks.
Starting point is 00:57:40 God, that was a struggle. Can you wait until I press stop before you say shit like that? So I was on my way out to the post office where number 52, when her intended to be, walks in. Cashing a postal order for the wedding conception. Oh, the stingy. So I thought as I was there, I'd get them something
Starting point is 00:58:04 for the conjoogles. Greetings, Carl. A book of home help stamps. She's a stranger to Ajax. That Ethel painting that was, come then, got one premium bond from the post office on £140,000. She never. Now, it's tufted shag in the front room,
Starting point is 00:58:18 and she's on interchange of black and white licence to colour. That young Gavin was in buying Sonia a first-day cover. Say she's into and he wanted a game license game for anything if you ask me question what's britain's biggest selling weekly magazine the answer is what's on tv with at least eight competitions to enter each week and hundreds of prizes to be won Imagine it's Saturday evening You've all had your dinner It's time to sit down in front of the TV BBC One
Starting point is 00:58:55 Because it's 7 o'clock And who's on? Why, it's everyone's favourite friend It's Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game And that's what we're playing in this segment Hooray! It's Bruce Forsythe's Generation Game, and that's what we're playing in this segment.

Life is the name of the game And I want to play the game with you Life can be terribly tame If you don't play the game with two And I want to play the game with you Yes, we're playing the Generation Game want to play the game with you. Yes, we're playing the Generation Game and I found a few versions of the Generation
Starting point is 00:59:50 Game as board games in the past but this is, I think, the original. This is by Strawberry Fair Games, who I've never heard of. It's a lovely design, very redolent of the period in which it was manufactured. It's very I mean, what, this would have been 70
Starting point is 01:00:06 something? What year is it? Monstrous bollocks. What? Monstrously ugly bollocks. Are you having your own podcast? I am. I'm always having my own podcast. This is 1975,
Starting point is 01:00:22 this board game. That must have been after only the first or second series of Gen Game, as we call it. Was Brucey there from the start, or was it Larry Grayson at first? No, it was Brucey first, then Grayson, and then obviously Brucey again, and then Davidson. Davidson. Jim Davidson used to present this?
Starting point is 01:00:42 Really? I didn't know that. The BBC had this weird fascination with making Jim Davidson. Jim Davidson used to present this? Yeah. Really? I didn't know that. The BBC had this weird fascination with making Jim Davidson cuddly TV host. It was like Big Breakin'. Yeah, he was. The racist wife-beater Jim Davidson. Yeah, let's make him
Starting point is 01:00:54 a primetime TV cuddly host. And that was my era as well. That was my introduction to the Generation Game just casually putting women down. So it is a hugely successful game, the Generation Game. Generation Game was bad. I remember seeing it as a kid. I loved it. I. So it is a hugely successful game, The Generation Game. The Generation Game was bad.
Starting point is 01:01:06 I remember seeing it as a kid. I loved it. I remember seeing it as a kid and not being able to understand what was going on. Well, no, basically the show is Bruce Forsyth invites couples on of various,
Starting point is 01:01:14 like if they're related by blood or by marriage or whatever, and then he belittles them in what they do for a career and then pushes them into a pottery table to make shit pottery. Oh, yeah, it's like challenges.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Comment upon shit pottery and then go... Why is pottery table to make shit pottery. Oh, yeah, it's like challenges. Comment upon shit pottery. And then go... Why is it called The Generation Game? Because the families on the show were like a father and a daughter or a brother and a sister. It was like a family game. That's what they meant by generation.
Starting point is 01:01:36 It was my... I dreamed of going on it, both when I was a child, but unfortunately neither of my parents were wanting to go on it. And then when I had kids myself, I dreamed that my daughter and I one day would go on it together, but it neither of my parents would have wanted to go on it. And then when I had kids myself, I dreamed that my daughter and I one day would go on it together, but it's not on anymore.
Starting point is 01:01:48 It did bring it back with Sue Perkins and the other one, Mel and Sue. Oh, but it didn't work, did it? I didn't watch it, unfortunately. For me, the last time I watched anything like that was Vic and Bob's Family's at War. Oh, there's a quote from Brucey on the front of this. Is there? He's endorsed it. You can
Starting point is 01:02:04 have hours of fun playing this fabulous game based on my TV show. And it is really great to be one of the four players to generate. What does that mean? And it is really great
Starting point is 01:02:15 to be one of the four players to generate. That's the sentence. No, they used to go, let's make the players who are ready to generate. Oh, I see. I'm ready to generate.
Starting point is 01:02:24 I'm ready to manufacture. No, don see. I'm ready to generate. I'm ready to manufacture. No, don't. I'm ready to produce. No. Out of your face, Fanny's. I'm ready to come. I'm generating from my facial vulva. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 01:02:37 Generate. Face, vagina, vagina, face. Nine or ten tiny Bruce's running around and here come the little Bruce's now
Starting point is 01:02:49 and a little hoard of little Bruce's oh little Bruce's all hoarding around it's a monkey lie Bruce
Starting point is 01:02:58 and it ends with just a he's written down Alright my loves Alright my loves Alright my loves Alright my loves Now
Starting point is 01:03:08 Who agrees with me But this hairstyle Brucey Is the most scary It's weird It's the most lamby It looks like Shakespeare You can smell
Starting point is 01:03:17 Yeah It is It is Shakespeare's head It's Yeah But don't you feel like You can smell the lamby grease Of his chops What do you mean the lamby grease of his chops?
Starting point is 01:03:25 The lamby grease of his chops. There's a redness of smell coming off, yeah, his muttony, lamby hair. His oily, his oily, lamby hair. Nice to see you. Don't you think that's the most scary incarnation? His sort of mid-summer. Yeah, it's before he trimmed those muffs that he had around his ears. No, his scariest was his last when he was doing, like, Strictly Ballroom.
Starting point is 01:03:46 And it was like watching The Living Dead present the TV show. He was all haunted and all hunched over. I always thought Bruce Forsythe had chimpanzee's eyes. If you look at his eyes. Like a collection? No, don't be... Look at my eyes. They're chimpanzee eyes. If you look at his eyes, A chimp has these eyes.
Starting point is 01:04:06 If you look at his eyes, they are chimp's eyes. What does that mean? I mean, they never even considered what... Look at chimp's eyes. They're the same as Bruce Forsythe's eyes. You look. I tell you what, here's a question. What colour are Bruce's eyes?
Starting point is 01:04:17 Blue, I just saw them on the box. I would have said brown. Do chimps have blue eyes? No, but there's something about his eyes. You look at a chimp and then look at a Bruce Paul fight. He's just saying he has simian eyes. Simian eyes, there. Do you agree, Octavius, that they are simian eyes?
Starting point is 01:04:31 Sure. It's a great ultravox track, simian eyes. Simian eyes. Show me your eyes. How was that bit in Prince Charming? Does he go... No, stop bringing that up. Prince Charming.
Starting point is 01:04:41 in Prince Charming? Does he go, oh, stop bringing that up. Prince Charming. I'm ready to play the game. Right. I'm not quite sure. You just seem to be
Starting point is 01:05:01 going off on one in the corner. I can go off on one. Do you want to? I'll tell you what, we all need to do a five minutes of Brucey just to get out of our system. Five minutes?
Starting point is 01:05:07 Five minutes? Yeah, five minutes. That's a lot of Brucey. I'll do five. Five seconds of Brucey. There's got to be more than that. We're not getting out of our system. For as long as we play this game.
Starting point is 01:05:17 30 seconds of Brucey in three, two, one, go. Go. Here comes the boost babies. The baby boosters. Watch them scurrying around. All right, my love. Vagina face to vagina face. That's the 20 seconds that it naturally peaked. It really did.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Maybe it turns out you can't maintain it. Octavius was enjoying it. Short bursts. Oh, I mean, my life is flashed in front of my eyes so many times. Well, at least
Starting point is 01:05:54 there were lots of highlights along the way. Hey, so Alan, we're doing teams, aren't we? So I'm basically like Octavius's dad. I mean, for the sake of... Which I am actually
Starting point is 01:06:02 old enough to be a dad. Did you know that? Are you? Yeah, well, if you're 33, I could be a young dad. Yep actually old enough to be a dad did you know that are you yeah well if you're 33 I could be a young dad yep actually I was a dad at 18

Starting point is 01:08:30 the game right away dear let's get going so the board game version is kind of nice it comes with this little stand with a little 1970s backdrop with little
Starting point is 01:08:37 it's got score rotators on the side all joking aside it's in lovely condition that's as old as me that board game yeah
Starting point is 01:08:43 and it's really very well preserved unyellowed and with an extreme 70s aesthetic I love the colours which are very 70s which I
Starting point is 01:08:52 remember we had an album in our house had the similar shade of blue love it yeah Brucey's face
Starting point is 01:08:59 right in the middle with his simian eyes yes simian eyes no monkey about for you today is there no monkey about ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh in the middle with his simian eyes yes he's there that was a callback paul it was it was a good callback right so it's a nice little stand and it's got all the games that we're going to play on the bottom now some of them don't really work as well as you'd like so i'm going to adapt them as we go but the fundamentally we take terms and teams to roll the dice.
Starting point is 01:09:25 The dice will determine what game you play. And then you'll play it and you'll have a certain amount of time because look, there's a little clock built in as well. Oh. It's motorized.
Starting point is 01:09:34 It's got a mechanic. Yeah. A time mechanic. Yes. And another character. Time mechanic. What year is this? Fixing things.
Starting point is 01:09:43 I've broken my time machine. I need a special part. Oh my God, someone in 1886. Time machine? That'd be great. There you go. Through that wormhole with his big spanner. He's got a time spanner.
Starting point is 01:09:58 I'm just repeating what you said. Like an echo. So we're going to toss the go first again. Okay. Oh again okay all right can we be so be this uh right here we go oh god he can't even toss correctly actually i tossed brilliant then because i tossed to the wrong hand and caught it in my bad hand and then flipped it onto my good hand i would have said you got bad hand yeah tails so do you want to go first or second guess we'll go first yeah so these are going to be activities that you'll be playing with these assorted accoutrements
Starting point is 01:10:27 in the box. Okay. It's like a spoon and some spoons and some balls in there. What do we have to do then? Spoon your balls. You can roll the dice
Starting point is 01:10:35 onto the table, right? And then the dice roll will determine what games. If you roll a two and a four, you'll play game six. So do we play the games together or one at a time?
Starting point is 01:10:44 I'm going to play it so you have to play together. together or one at a time are you i'm gonna play it so you have to play together i'm gonna go for a roll now right great stuff brilliant do you want to just say three three and four we've got seven snake eyes no that's not the wonky eyes no it's not what is snake eyes two. Surely it's got to be two ones. Yeah, it's because it's eyes, isn't it? If you had two fours, it would be spider eyes. Yes. Why have I never done that? Compound eyes.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Compound eyes. Six and six. Six and six. Sorry. That was because you were glugging that tea. Yes. What did you roll? That was directly in the microphone.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Snake Eyes 7. That would be nice to edit out. Snake Eyes 7. Put five balls into the beaker formed by a large and small cups and try and shake them out.
Starting point is 01:11:32 You score one point for every ball that comes out and you have 30 seconds to do it. I've only got four balls here. I went to the British Museum at the weekend
Starting point is 01:11:39 and all the penises were missing or been snapped off of all the statues. It's really weird. But then there was one statue which had, they all just have a lot of hole. And it said that they would make the phalluses separately. And what, put them back on?
Starting point is 01:11:56 Well, no, put them on originally, but they've all either been stolen or... What, the erect ones? There was an erect one that was, there's a... I tell you, I'm you you see this on the generation game it's marvellous but it's just a hole now because the willy's
Starting point is 01:12:09 been taken out of it or that's stolen didn't Oliver Cromwell wasn't there sort of puritanical movements which would have yeah it didn't explain
Starting point is 01:12:17 why they're gone but they because they were created separately not as part of the statue as a whole I've never seen a statue with an erect penis
Starting point is 01:12:23 yeah this one did it's supposedly something to do with penis. Yeah, this one did. It's supposedly something to do with Tutankhamun, this one. And he's holding it. But it's just a big hole where his hand is. His mother was reading it out to other kids. If you want a part of the world, there's a lot of stone penises. India. There's a lot of stone penises down there.
Starting point is 01:12:43 What do you mean, what's going on? Can we stop talking about lost, missing or vandalised penises? India. There's a lot of stone penises down there. What do you mean, what's going on? Can we stop talking about lost, missing, or vandalised penises? Can we stop? No, another one was Connie Burrow Ferret. You know what?
Starting point is 01:12:54 I'm off. Right, so here's the game. I've put the four balls in here, right? There's five balls, it's meant to be. There's obviously one missing. Can't have everything. And you've got 30 seconds
Starting point is 01:13:03 to shake them out into that box so they don't go everywhere, right? And you've got 30 seconds to shake them out into that box so they don't go everywhere, right? And you get a point for every ball that comes out in that time. Ready?
Starting point is 01:13:11 So, Eli, do you want to take this one? Because this is not an activity we can do together. You might, Kat. You could. You could hold the cup together. Go on.
Starting point is 01:13:18 No. You can't do a weird thing. Both shake it together. He's your little orphan. Right, I'm setting the clock. Oh! Here we go. Come and help grab together. He's your little orphan. I'm setting the clock. Here we go. Coming up, Grandad shakers ball cup out.
Starting point is 01:13:30 That's one of our many deities. Right, I'm setting it to 30 seconds. Are you ready? I'm ready. Your time starts. Grandad, go. One ball. Oh, it's not as easy as it looks, is it?
Starting point is 01:13:46 He's got one ball out. Started well. I thought you had better wrist action than that, Silverman. Two balls. You've got five seconds left. Three soft balls. Four. That's all the balls.
Starting point is 01:13:59 That's all the balls. Well played. I think you should have put less time on the clock given there was one ball missing. Well, they're still only getting four points. They could have got a
Starting point is 01:14:08 maximum of five when you think about it. So they're down one anyway. So I'm going to add it to the time. Look at this. Four points.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Four points. Hooray. Good one, Eli. Thank you. Right. Team, you, you, Biftavia. Thank you very much. Where's the dice going? Roll the dice to find out what game you're playing go for it. You can go fair
Starting point is 01:14:40 Always everything snake guys, that's the joke. Yeah. You've explained it. Should have left it as a mystery. Okay, this is the one you have to do together. Oh, do we? You're going to have balls and you're going to catch them or you can do vice versa. You've got that little cup there and you've got the lid open so you can have that.
Starting point is 01:15:02 You want to catch or throw? I'll catch balls, why not? What am I doing? I've got to throw open, so you can have that. Do you want to catch or throw? I'll catch balls. Why not? So what am I doing? I've got to throw them out of the cup? No. Someone's just going to try and throw them. Okay, there you go.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Into the cup. So here are the balls. You've got to try and throw them into the cup that you hold. It's kind of that simple. That sounds easy, doesn't it? Yeah. Well, that was kind of an easy game. When you think about just shaking balls.
Starting point is 01:15:20 These balls aren't as soft as I was expecting. No. I thought they were like fabric or something. Or like cotton wool balls. Oh, no, no. They're lovely little plastic balls. These balls aren't as soft as I was expecting. I thought they were fabric or something. Or like cotton wool balls. They're lovely little plastic balls straight from the throat of Bruce Forsythe himself. The throat. He just pinches his neck.
Starting point is 01:15:36 And it rolls out below his... Why? It's all eggs and faces are eggs. He's ovipositor. He's throat ovipositor. Has he been alien oviposited in his throat? Forsythe His ovipositor, his throat ovipositor. Has he been alien oviposited in his throat? Four slaves ovipositor.
Starting point is 01:15:49 His simian eyes and his alien throat ovipositor. It's that way it goes. It's that way it goes. And the eggs come out. All the things on the conveyor belt he's laid from his ovipositor. Like behind the scenes he's like like
Starting point is 01:16:06 the alien queen it's all the other things just producing a black and decker sander when it comes out they have to mop it down all the juices off the slime the amniotic fluid yeah it's a wash with amniotic fluid and that's what he uses to start his hair. Mutton. Right. Let's move on. So you have 40 seconds, a little bit more time to get the balls in.
Starting point is 01:16:36 I'm literally just holding the... Yeah. I know, right? You can move it around. Why would I... Aren't we on the same team? Yeah, you've got to try and catch them. I'm throwing.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Yeah, but if I literally just stay here, then... Well, I'm not a very good thrower. I'm an old man. Yeah. Well, it might be that you want to hold it down so it doesn't bounce out when he throws it in. So you might want to have to soften the impact. I think, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:00 So here we go. 40 seconds starting from... Go. One. One. Two. You see there's a bit of action going on. Got 15 seconds. You can keep throwing balls until you run out of time. Quick. You got right. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:17:27 It's all going everywhere. The time is broke. Quick. God, it's a bit, this bit folks falling over. There's eggs everywhere. There's ovipositor erupting everywhere. There's one over there. The whole stage is awash with amniotic fluid. Game over.
Starting point is 01:17:44 I have my knee. You seem in danger. The whole stage is awash with amniotic fluid. Game over. I have my knee. I know, Octavius. You seem in danger. Too much action. What happened? I literally, I literally, I'm just going to have to sort of ooze underneath the microphone for a second.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Right, we're back after that, and you scored two points, so I'm going to add two points to the scoreboard on this. Do we get to roll? Yeah, hang on. One, two. No, I feel like I should get more points for having nearly died. Yeah, I think you don't get insurance points.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Oh, come on. So it currently stands at the end of round one. Team E-Thigh Gum has got four points. And Team Biff Tavius is two points. Two points. Biff Steak. I don't know how he does it there. Biff Tavius is two points. Two points. Two points. Biffsteak. I don't know how he does it.
Starting point is 01:18:28 So if you've got the dice, it's time to roll. That's what they call it, isn't it? Biffsteak. The French. Oh, I'm really confused. B as in Biffsteak. Oh, I see. Biffsteak.
Starting point is 01:18:42 OK, Ethan, you roll at this time. Three Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes for three eyes Snake eyes for three Snake eyes for three Right, okay, so with this game Spoon Spoon You get the spoon
Starting point is 01:18:51 Spoon one another You get this big red ball Yeah And where's that blue cup gone? Everything involves the blue cup Put it on your head Right Right
Starting point is 01:18:58 And then take the ball And drop it into the cup from on your head And every time you can do that, you get a point Now, Eli, you can hold the cup on his head if you want to steady it. That's fine. Right. You have to put the spoon on the ball and then put it in. It's really weird.
Starting point is 01:19:18 It's a weird game. It is weird. It's like spooning balls into your head. They used to do pottery. You have 30 seconds to get as many red balls in. Well, as many spooning balls into your head. See, at the time, they used to do, like, you have... Pottery. You have 30 seconds to get as many red balls in, well, as many times as that red ball in. How do we get the ball out once it's gone in? Just tip it out.
Starting point is 01:19:32 You can take it out. It's not there forever. There isn't any way to get it out. Just tip it onto your hand. Ready? And your time starts now. Live is the name of the game. No, I think that's not.
Starting point is 01:19:45 Elo can't move it. Yeah, you can't move the cup. You're cheating. That's cheating. That's not allowed. So here we go. Cancel that one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Oh, no. Oh, it's not as easy as it looks. It's actually a funny action. Yeah, right. He's lifting it up, but it's hard. He's tipping it in. Oh, it's one point. You've got 10 seconds.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Can you get another one in? Oh, it's quick. Six seconds. It's like he's wearing a funny little hat. Two points get another one in? Oh, it's quick. Six seconds. Five. Two points. Four. Three. Two.
Starting point is 01:20:09 One. That's it. It's all over. That was harder than it looked. Two points taking you to six overall. Well played. Imagine if you ate through a pipe in your head. That would be difficult.
Starting point is 01:20:22 Brain food. Yeah. You had no mouth well in that Star Wars holiday special doesn't that guy Harvey the actor
Starting point is 01:20:30 who goes to the bar and he gets the drink and he pours it into his head doesn't he I don't know remember that he goes and sits

Starting point is 01:21:01 So it's your go now, used to. So roll the dice to play the game. Octavius, would you like to roll again? Because it means I have to bend down and hold. Snake eyes. Snake. Six. Snake eyes.

We jinxed it by saying what lovely condition it was in. Oh, okay. It's not in condition now. No, we fucked it. Okay. This is going to be an interesting one. I think...

Starting point is 01:22:16 as you want to get it done, but at the end of 45 seconds, your search engine needs burning. You've got to roll them till they stay on the little thing like that. It's harder than it looks, isn't it, Paul? Anyway, best of luck, Biffo. That looks like a shit game, Paul.
Starting point is 01:22:36 That looks shit. Sorry to be a downer. Should we try with a spoon? Have you made this game up? Yeah. You've made this one up. Why aren't we playing one on the actual game?

And they're five points to Biffo and Octavius. It's all right. You're both going to play the memory game. When we add up all the scores, how many you remember, then the points could still change.
Starting point is 01:25:16 The points could still change. There's only one point in it. So on this board game version of Generation Game, there's a nice little kind of plastic frame you attach to it, and it allows you to reveal the cards from behind the secret door. And I'm going to put eight in
Starting point is 01:25:29 and I'm going to show you eight in a row and then close the door and then you've got, I think it's 20 seconds to name as many as you can right from that eight. And you'll both get a chance
Starting point is 01:25:38 to gather go of it. See though where the doors are. They should have put a bit higher so they were on his throat. A bit higher? A bit higher. And then his over-positor could have come out.
Starting point is 01:25:45 That's what this game needs. He's trying to lay things on the floor. It needs a mechanical throat-based ovipositor to come out and dunk a slimy egg on the... An egg which contains a tees made.
