Right.
This is part two.
Part three of part two.
Because we're having a nice little chat about video games.
But it was all for nothing.
It was all for nothing because I forgot to record it.
It was gold as well.
Just absolute gold.
It was the best moment of my life, Paul.
Artistically, emotionally, sexually.
I feel robbed.
But it's all right.
We only got through your bit.
And then we can carry on with me and Paul.
Well, anyway. Just to clarify. Hello, Welcome to the Chiefs. We're still talking about video games. This is a. But it's alright. We only got through your bit and then we can carry on with me and Paul. Well anyway,
just to clarify.
Hello, Welcome to the Chiefs.
We're still talking about video games.
This is a part two.
Improv.
You were making it as we go
but we thought,
why not?
Why not?
Eli Silverman's still here.
Say hello, Eli.
Hello.
And Paul Rose is still here.
Say hello.
Hi.
Alright.
So I'm still here
so we can still carry on
with this more awesome show
and we can just move with it
and I'll ask you the question again.
Fine, because you're a professional
you will organically
give me an answer
as if you'd never been asked it
before in your life
and then I'll disparage it
in some respect
and make you look like a prick
and then we'll move on
to Paul
you never make me look like a prick
I do
anyway
well the cheap show
where are the credits
I fucking did it again
I meant roll the music
cue the music
cue the music
do it
I hate you and your fucking noodle posse Did it again! I meant roll the music. Cue the music! Cue the music! Do it.
I hate you and your fucking noodle posse.
People love noodles, alright?
It's a fact of cheap show, you're gonna have to fucking reset.
Moodle time!
Tales from the dance floor.
How's the big guy?
A piece of shite! is what Gannon's saying
Hello
Eli Silver
Welcome to Geek Show
I'm not going on Nuzzle
So there you go
That's that
Energy people
Energy
Energy people
It's really hot
It's really fucking hot.
At least this time it missed out on my strop when I went out because...
It missed out on your strop when you went out?
Went to get a drink because you were talking about food and I was getting pissed off about
your bowels.
And the mouth.
To be fair, it's probably best I didn't talk about your bowels.
Yes.
Last night, when it was really hot, I had to go and...
Well, I didn't have to, but I did.
I went to an immersive theatre thing where I had to crawl through a minibar.
That's right.
It was a escape room or something.
That was how you got out, through a minibar.
Well, no, it was, we had to,
it started out, the whole point was you were in a hotel
that supposedly had been shut down
because a serial killer had turned it into a murder hotel.
Happens more often than you think.
And we checked into
our rooms and
then we gradually realised that
the only way to get out of our
room is to communicate with the other rooms by
calling them up because we all had like the
code for a safe to
sounds cool it does sound
it was sort of it was a
bit shit
but we had a it wasn't remotely scary,
which that was the whole point.
I mean, part of the reason it wasn't scary
was because there was this bloke in a mask
who was, as it turned out, about 12.
He was supposedly a murder victim and a ghost.
And he kept coming in and threatening us.
And it was just funny.
Because he was like,
Good looking, mister.
I'm here to kill you.
He basically was.
When he took this mask off
he was like
really
we're meant to
be scared of you
get him in the
headlock
give him a
nuggie
but yeah
but there was a
lot of crawling
through holes
under beds
because
lots of secret
passages
oh
so you had to
escape the hotel
and the serial
killer called
Timmy was
chasing you
it was just chaos
it was like no one
really knew
what was going on
in one bit
we were in this room
full of dirty laundry
and the laundry
had like vomit
and semen stains
it said on there
it said what was
stained on there
what do you mean
house of pickles
I'm imagining
there's no vomit
or semen stain
semen
yeah
so anyway you were in the laundry yeah and we had to I can't even remember There's no vomit or semen stain. Semen. Okay.
So anyway, you were in the laundry room.
Yeah, yeah.
And we had to, I can't even remember what we were doing in there.
I was getting a bit distracted by that point.
Because of the dirty pants.
Well, yeah, it was like hanging up everywhere.
It was like a maze of dirty laundry hanging up everywhere.
How did I get on to talking about this?
I can't remember.
Oh, because it was hot.
We're hot.
And I said I was hot last night because I was crawling through crannies.
Awful name for a cranny.
I'll be honest with you.
Awful name.
Was that a bad name for a hole?
Yeah, a bad name for a hole.
Oh, I was at crannies last night.
Oh, they're tight.
Lots of people are in there.
You give holes a bad name.
You give holes a bad name.
Bond.
Hole of E. No. name. Bond. Holvy.
No.
Holbo Jolevy. It's really hot today still.
I'm just saying that. I'm in my shorts, which means
I'm exposing my bare legs. Are you in shorts
today? I do not wear shorts, Paul.
I thought I've seen you in shorts.
I've got my new DMs on, which are really hot.
I shouldn't have been wearing those. You should have worn a nice flip-flop.
Yeah, a thong, as they call them in America
thong for thong thong thong
I've yes
but I have
changed to my
summer footwear
which is sneakers
oh
oh
oh I saw this
became Queer Eye
for the straight guy
it's like
oh it's nice
what are you wearing
there's a new version
that everyone loves isn't it
it's just called Queer Eye
get a lot more plot in
steal a gag from bottom so what is it like loves isn't it it's just called Queer Eye get a lot more plot in steal a gag from bottom
so what
is it like a
a sitcom
no it's like
it's five guys
the sitcom version
of Queer Eye
there is literally
straight guys
who get advice
homosexual men
turn up and say
we can make you look better
or prettier
but don't
don't they just end up
looking gay
what does looking gay mean though
well don't
you know
gay fashion.
Homo sapiens.
Kind of a...
Yeah, feathers.
Is that what you...
Yeah, feather boas.
Yeah.
Looking like Daddy LaRue.
You know, like huge lapels.
No!
Leather harnesses.
Yeah.
No, not at all.
Do you know?
Some of the episodes are quite...
Leather caps.
No.
Mustaches.
No?
No, they don't do that.
And they don't go to the Blue Oyster Club either.
They're...
They're pink club either love that
no
none of that
it's a heartwarming
kind of
life improving show
with five guys
turn up and say
oh it's a bit shabby
but are these

our
our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our quiz
working in the fashion industry
why is it assumed
that gay blokes
you know what I mean
I think it's all very problematic
I think nothing
is too much about it
not all gay men
are great at dressing
no
I've got a mate
who just literally wears hoodies
and he's gay
does he work it
not really
it's hoodies
and
facelift bottoms
he wears
oh well I mean
I just think
it's an idea
for a show
yeah
but you know
it's problematic
rolls off the tongue
queer eye for the
straight guy
it's problematic
in that
you know
we're being rude
oh rolls off the tongue
I don't think
it's problematic
it might have been
in the early 2000s
when the show
first came out
because the whole idea was all gay people dress nice so you can't dress nice Mr Straight Man but now it's problematic. It might have been in the early 2000s when the show first came out. Because the whole idea was, well, gay people dress nice, so you can't dress nice, Mr. Straight Man.
But now it's a bit different.
The playing field has changed.
I almost find it insulting that as a straight man, or asexual, last few years.
Yeah.
Asexual what?
Anyway, welcome to Cheap Show.
We're talking about video games at some point.
Okay.
Briefly, I said earlier before I forgot to
record everything
because I'm deeply
professional.
Name me a game that
you first fell in love
with.
What was the first
game you fell in love
As I said before
Paul it was Game
and Watch version of
Donkey Kong which I
think is the original
version of Donkey
Kong right?
No.
The arcade was first
okay.
And then everything
was a spin off
afterwards.
Yes which I think
is just a perfect
toy and it's just a brilliant thing.
Yeah, I agree.
I never played it.
I had a few handhelds,
but I always had the grandstand ones.
Oh, yeah.
Astro Wars.
Does that count?
That counts as a game I fell in love with.
It's valid.
Yeah, of course it is.
It's a game and you play with it
and you fell in love with it.
Yes.
Yeah, it's fine.
Okay, good.
What about yours?
To be honest,
how much play can you get out of Donkey Kong? I've always wondered about this. It's fine. Okay, good. Good. What about yours? To be honest, how much play can you get out of Donkey Kong?
I've always wondered about this.
It was loads.
Loads.
That's why you've got the King of Kong
in all of this.
A game, B game,
which is slightly different.
Yeah, and what's his name?
Who's the guy?
Billy.
Billy Mitchell.
He has been struck from the records.
He's been shamed.
Yeah, good.
Game shamed.
You should go back to EastEnders.
He's been struck
from the records
that's it
he used an emulator
to produce some
of those scores
well I don't know
the science of it
all I know
is that if you want
to spend a lot of time
being really good
at Donkey Kong
very little pity
for you
if you lose your record
he's an intercell
yeah
he has hot sauce
doesn't he
he's famous for his
hot sauce
Benny Mitchell
yeah
he sells hot sauce and I think he uses famous for his hot sauce yeah he sells hot sauce
and I think he uses
branding on it
he shouldn't do
because I've seen
like Pac-Man
on the bottles
I bet that's not allowed
Namco won't want that
unless he's got a deal
with it
maybe
I don't know
should get some
hot sauce for the show
we've got hot sauce
we haven't done
we've got Billy Mitchell's
we haven't got
Billy Mitchell's
we'd love to have
some of Billy Mitchell's
hot sauce
we could taste it on sauce we could taste it
on some
we could taste it
on some mushroom
flavoured crisps
oh that'd be nice
yeah
I'm going to look up
Billy Mitchell
hot sauce
oh there's even
a review
but we'll forget that
Billy Mitchell's
hot sauce review
two out of five stars
on Amazon
that's not high
is it
no
I'm surprised
he didn't get on there
and fake those review scores.
I bet it's people who hate him because he's a cheating bastard.
He calls himself Ricky on his branding, though.
What?
He's called Billy Mitchell's, parentheses, Ricky's Hot Sauce Review.
And, you know, there he is.
There he is with his American tie.
He's got a brand, though, hasn't he?
Look at him with his dyed beard and...
Yeah, he's got that look.
He's the video game Noel Edmonds.
That's what I like to think.
He's got that going on for him.
He should have a Mr Blobby.
Although they rate it 3 out of 5 here.
Ricky's is a sauce that doesn't run with the bad boys
that have you chugging milk with your nose running.
It's busy hanging out with the good old srirachas,
Frank's Red Hot or Tabasco.
It's a sauce you put on food, not in food.
It's a condiment.
That said, it doesn't do enough to differentiate itself
from others in its class.
If you had to compare it,
something between Frank's and Chulula?
Chulula.
Chulula is a good source.
Two very popular sauces that have actually killed it.
I love my Frank's.
Ricky's is unremarkably decent,
but chances are
it'd be on no
one's mind if
they didn't have
a tangential
namesake of
Billy Mitchell
it's bullshit
what they're saying
I can sum up
the review
this Billy
Mitchell's
Ricky's hot
sauce is
bullshit
and to that
that it's much
harder to find
without forking
over too much
money just so
you can review
it for a
video games
forum
three out of
five stars
very bitter at the end of that there you't well maybe we'll try and get billy
mitchell's hot sauce and compare it with the hot sauces you got well i've uh brought back some very
lovely hot sauces paul from the states including yukata which is a great brand and they have
several varieties including one that i have tasted Reserve, which is a black hot sauce.
Oh, they're normally bad, aren't they?
As in hot.
It's hot, but it's smoky as fuck, man.
And it's Special Reserve.
And they're not fucking around.
It is Special Reserve.
Is that like the kind of champagne of hot sauce?
It is very, very nice.
Oh, I've never had one.
And they also,ucata did XXX
Picante
sexy
so they've got one
but it's meant to be there
I bought a bottle
of their most hot
basically
so I'm going to see
how it stands up
to the other ones
that say
you know
fucking madness
or whatever they've got
you know
huge
ass kicking
yeah
hot sauce
I saw a video of a guy
who filled up a bath
of hot sauce
and then submerged
himself in it
and then screamed
non-stop
did it?
yeah because it was
it is a stupid thing
to do for hits
on a YouTube channel
and this guy did it
and frankly
good
good I'm glad
it hurt
it must have been
especially his
knob end that hurt
yeah the tip
and they're circumcised
out there
yeah they all are
he got a full throb
he got a hot meter
would that
would that be worse though that you're circumcised?
Because if you got it trapped under the skin...
Yeah.
It wouldn't be worse,
because circumcision leads to desensitisation
over the lifespan as well.
There you go.
I think if you've got the skin...
When we have the uncut crown...
Are you uncut, by the way?
Oh, fuck off.
You know this.
I don't.
You know this.
Yes, I am uncut.
Oh, I could. Okay, got a problem with that? No, I don't., by the way. Oh, fuck off. You know this. I don't. You know this. Yes, I am uncut. Oh, I could.
Okay, got a problem with that?
No, I don't.
I was just wondering.
I thought your knowledge came from experience.
You want to fucking talk about it?
All right, let's talk about your uncircumcised penis.
It's a beaut.
Is it?
Yes.
What small thing is it like on top of a big thing?
It is like, Paul, it is like the nostril hair of a gnat sitting on top of
Jules Verne's balloon
as he went around
the world in 80 days
right
okay
that's a great one
did Jules Verne have a balloon
no
he must have at some point
he used different methods
to get around
Jules Verne was a writer
oh no
Julius Fogg was the guy
who went around
writing about
so get your fucking
analogies
it's like a microscopic
hair of an insect
sitting on top of Julius Fogg's balloon aww it's like a microscopic hair of an insect sitting on top
of Phileas Fogg's
balloon
aww
it's like a
seagull's tongue
atop Jeremy
Clarkson's belly
that's good
thank you
what's your
most loved game
the first game
you fell in love
with
because we'll
talk about
that soon
we just will
probably Star Wars
the arcade game
I think
was that the Vectrex
yeah the Vector one
Vector one
yes
when you sat down
in the cabinet
and you had
Obi-Wan Kenobi
in your ear going
I remember seeing it
but it always felt
really scary
that game to me
I was in Star Wars
once I was in that
did it move
no
did any cabinet move
yeah
but not the Star Wars
it was back too early on
but you had a nice
kind of joystick
that was like like an X-Wing yeah and a nice kind of joystick that was like a sort of...
Like an X-Wing cockpit.
Yeah.
And is it the trench one stuff?
There's a bit of that in there and there's also fighting with TIE fighters.
Why don't I remember this?
It's a classic.
It is a great game.
I remember that.
One of the greatest video games of all time.
The only arcade games I ever remember seeing when I went was...
I played Temple of Doom, obviously Street Fighter,
Turtles, the fighting Turtles game, and the Simpsons game.
They're the ones that stick in my mind
more than anything else.
I can't remember the huge...
What about Tron?
Tron?
Yeah, Discs of Tron.
I like Tron.
I like the arcade Tron.
Life Cycles.
Was that like a Vectrex-y thing?
No.
No, it was what?
I had the Tron,
I can't remember which one it was,
there were two Tron arcade games.
Oh, there were two.
And it had a really cool cabinet
that was all kind of, you know, like black light. Yeah, it was one were two Tron arcade games and it was had a really cool cabinet that was all kind of
you know like black light
yeah
it was
one of the sexiest
and you could play
the different games
that are in the movie
yeah
if you could have
any arcade cabinet
of all time
in your house
which one would you go for
oh god that's hard
well
ignore that
that's the question
oh my god
he's been looking at
Keith the mummified mole.
I fucking haven't.
Keith can stay there.
Keith can fucking suck my dick.
Not with them teeth.
Yeah, look,
he's scratched on the nibble jaw.
You'd be uncircumcised
when he'd finish with that.
Anyway.
Anyway.
This is a traumatic episode.
Gnaw it off.
Imagine you woke up and that was in your knob
it was in my knob
yeah mate
it'd be fucking terrifying
to have the
there's a mummified mole
coming out my meters
I read this morning
that human beings
should be considered
only 43% human
because the rest of
because all the bacteria and animals
that live in us make up
57% of what we
are. Yes. And the outnumber,
the bacterial cells outnumber
the cells. Yeah.
Ooh. Yeah. But then
if you start saying that, then you say all mammals.
Well, yeah. You know what I mean?
It doesn't need to be just that. And plus, the hippopotamuses
have those birds
that live on their backs
so
yeah
yeah
oh I'd love that
it all goes back to
it all goes back to
you should become a
pirate
well a pirate
but then get yourself a parrot
nah it's a parrot
they're just for talk
but I can
ponds
I love parrots
parrots are vibrant
look at the mole
maybe the mole
will make you calm down look at Keith's face I don't want to look at Keith's face touch his microphone with the mole maybe the mole will make you calm down
look at Keith's face
don't want to look
he's an anti-emetic
touch his microphone
with the mole
if I
oh
meet us
what are we talking about
I can't
parking meet us
I can't recall
I had a point there
my favourite video game
I first fell in love with
Link's Awakening
Game Boy
oh nice
it was this adorable game
was that golf
no
Link's
Golf Links
Zelda
the Legend of Zelda
Link's Awakening
don't go
no no no
me
it's a particularly
legitimate title
and it told me
it showed me that games
could be more than
just platformers
it was a whole world
of discovery
and adventure
great world building
it was really good
world building
and I like the fact
that you could steal
from the shop
by running around the man
with the item that you picked up
but if you left
and came back in
he'd kill you instantly
so you could never shop there again
wow
just like in real life
just like in real life
I had a corner shop
and I stole from there once
and I ran around the shop owner
a few times
and ran out the stop
with a copy of Beano
and when I went in there
the next time
he used dark magics
to destroy me
have you ever shoplifted
like when you were a child
yeah when I was about
eight I think I wanted
to get my mum a present
and I had no money
so I stole a little
porcelain whale
from a place
in Macunthlyth
you're like
Robin Hood
so you did
I've been there
yeah
it actually has the word
cunt within it
it's not spell
it's sort of
spell
I can't remember
how you spell
Macunthlyth
there's not a cunt in it though it's all you turn up there it's all L's you sort of spell I can't remember how you spell McCunthly there's not a cunt
in it though
it's all you
turn up there
it's all L's
you put the U
in cunt
you put the cunt
in cunt
you're a cunt
I've shoplifted
we've reached
peak cunt
I was put off
shoplifting
at a very young age
I was in a shop
with my friend
in Devon
South Malton
that's when you used to have
the 1p
the cola bottles
and everything
all out
and my friend went
oh I'm going to have one
yeah
and then I thought
oh
oh
I'm nervous
I'll go for this one
that's got half of
half of one
yeah
and as I picked it up
a fucking woman saw me
and I had to run out of the shop
and it wasn't very good
no
did you cry yes yeah I cried even though I got away with my robbery And as I picked it up, a fucking woman saw me and had to run out of the shop and it wasn't very good. No.
Did you cry?
Yes.
Yeah.
I cried.
Even though I got away with my robbery.
And it really put me off.
When I did it twice.
Look at him.
Yeah, I know.
I'm a career criminal.
But it was always with this,
I had this mate at school
called Stuart Moore
who insisted that everyone
called him Mungy.
And he was like, if you called him Stuart, he'd insist that you correct it him Mungy. And he was like,
if you called him Stuart,
he'd insist that you correct it to Mungy.
I bet that didn't last long when he got to teenagers.
Yeah, probably not.
Actually, I was going to tell a story about him that I heard.
But I won't.
He probably upset Michael Connabiers.
On his friends growing up.
Wow.
They can't defend themselves.
We stole some refreshers from news agents
and then
got away with it
got away with that
and then the next time
we went back
I didn't want to
because I thought
we pushed it far enough
just one more jab
just one more jab
allowed
keep pulling me back in
Mongi insisted
and we were in there
and the shop
owner knew
that we were up to something
so Mongi turned around
to him and said
we're not stealing anything you know.
Oh, clever though.
Clever.
Very good.
Double bluff.
But he did.
He's got like a big double go.
Curly whirlies.
Followed us around the shops.
No, we didn't do it.
Trailing foam prawns.
Yeah.
What did you have your eye on?
What was the big job?
For some reason, it was always refreshers.
I'm not a fan of refreshers. If you're listening to the show and you've committed a crime in the name of refreshers, reason it was always Refreshers. I'm not a fan of Refreshers.
If you're listening to the show and you've committed a crime in the name of Refreshers,
please do get in touch with us.
And we'll form a Refreshers help centre.
Help group.
Treeboar.
They were the ones, weren't they?
They did.
They made a treeboar mint sour minty bit stronger.
Stick him up your arse.
They did extra mint.
Yeah.
And they did Mr Soft.
Mr Soft Mr Soft
how come everyone
around you
is so soft
then we arrange
yes
and what is tree ball
spelt backwards
robot
Robert
Robert
is that actually a thing
I think so
I don't know if that's
why they called it
it was just
that was
so Robert
I like the idea
it was probably started
by a time traveller
known as Robert
who
there was a time traveller
called tree ball wasn't there probably started by a time traveller known as Robert who there was a time traveller called Trebor
wasn't there
there was never
a time traveller
called Trebor
I hate to break this
to you but
time travel isn't real
it's a
you're thinking
you're thinking
John Titor
Titor
yeah
John Titor
John Trebor
the founder of Trebor
the famous
I lost John Title
John Title
was a guy who
allegedly came back
from the future
to all this stuff
and the UFO stuff
was he like
yeah
he said there was
going to be
World War 3
he was on
like forums
back in the day
when forums
were such an early
thing on the internet
and he was like
I've come from the year
2028 or something
there's a fascist in power
and I don't know
and it was the days
before people knew
that you could lie
on the internet
so they just took him
at face value
is the name
yeah
John Titor is a name
used on several
bulletin boards
during 2000 and 2001
of a poster
claiming to be
an American military
time traveller
from the year 2036
there's also a great
urban legend story
as well of a guy
who gets off a plane
at the airport
and when he goes through passport
checking, they look at his passport and it's like
what's this? He goes, well this is the country I come from
they went, no mate, so they take him
into a room and he goes, no I'll show you on the
map where I'm from and he points to this place where
his country should be and it's like, no it's the border of Spain
and France and he goes, no no no
it's, let me have a quick look for this
because I want to get the story right
he was lying.
Yeah, he was having a prank.
He was punking them.
The man from Tored, that's the right...
Tored?
That's the name of the country.
T-A-U-R-E-D.
So he goes, I come from this country called Tored.
And he had a passport and he had papers.
Wow.
And so he goes, what's going on?
He was getting distraught and upset.
And they went to check his details. They all look legit. But when they went back into the room an hour or two going on he was getting distraught and upset and they went to check his details
they all looked legit
but when they went back
into the room
an hour or two later
he was gone
I'll tell you what
would have freaked you out
if you looked that up
and the country
was called Trebor
the man from
John Titor
is the man from
Trebor
who went back in time
and invented sweets
because he thought
this is a good idea
I know what I ought to do
in the year 2034
there is no more sweets
so I've gone back in time
to create
extra strong nits.
Finally
all of the
the classic chocolate bars
were made in the 1930s.
You said this fact
last time we talked about it
I think on the show.
It's interesting though.
Fries.
About all the brands
we know and love today
come from these.
Aero.
Aero. You wouldn't have thought that would you
you would have thought
Aero was like a space age
fancy modern chocolate
from the 70s
when lollipops
were fashionable
and spangles
and other nostalgic things
that people like to go on
about the goodies
white dog poo
white dog poo
top of the pops
I want a white dog poo
t-shirt
no
is it hot legs
hot gossip and legs and coat
hot legs though um nostalgia yeah i remember things let's stop talking about this and move
on to the next part of the show so on cheap show we do a thing called silverman's platter
it's that moment where silverman Silverman looks in his vinyl and goes, It's some stuff I like.
And then we listen to it
and it's a lot of fun for all.
I have some
in the wings,
so to speak.
So don't worry.
My platter
will be a splatter
on your eardrums
again.
And in case you don't know,
if you go to our Reddit page,
reddit.com
forward slash r
forward slash cheap show,
someone has put up a page now of
all the songs that you've
played on the platter and
created a playlist on
youtube not all of them
but ones that are
available the ones you
could find yeah because a
lot of the stuff that
we've played you just
can't find but
surprisingly a lot of
them have yes yeah so
that's a fact oh there we
go so if you want to
listen to all the stuff
we've talked about on
platter you can go there
there's a link on the
internet dale winter dale winter right he had a single out now that's we've talked about on Platter? You can go there. There's a link on the internet. Dale Winter.
Dale Winter.
Right.
He had a single out.
Now, that's what I really want to get hold of.
Yeah, he had Supermarket Sweep, didn't he?
No, no.
It was some kind of single.
Yes.
Before or pre-fame?
It was during the fame.
Actually, this rings a bell now.
Mid-90s.
I remember the video.
And that is a real item that I will be looking out for
to get on my platters.
Was it a sort of, you know, Ib3 type kind of summer anthem?
Yeah.
Sort of house music bullshit.
Yeah, that's what I recall.
Will you dance with me?
Yeah, yeah.
But that's the song for Supermarket Sweep.
Well, there you go.
He did a sort of...
Dale Wintons.
Next time you're at the checkout and you Dale Winton's next time you're at
the checkout and
you hear the beat
next time you're at
the checkout and
you hear the beat
this is some weird
remix
no this is the
original
next time you're at
the checkout and
you hear the beat
what's going on
next time you're at
the checkout
supermarket sweep
there you go
that's all
it's got that
Saturday night
it could have been
the next Wigfield
I mean he was
he was a one hit wonder
with a song that wasn't
very good
she hated her song
Wigfield
do you know that
no
she hated
she was into
kind of your rock music
how did that song
come about then
do you think
probably a producer
who was
won't break you in the UK
with this song
probably blackmailing her
I've got pictures
naughty pictures
of what you did on Saturday night and I'm going to make you write a song about what you got up to that was intolerable UK with this song. Probably blackmailing her. I've got pictures. Naughty pictures.
Of what you did on Saturday night.
Yeah.
And I'm going to make you
write a song about
what you got up to.
That was intolerable.
Those dance crazes.
Intolerable.
Macarena.
That was the other one
at the time, wasn't it?
I like those two guys, though.
They were so about.
Oh, my God.
People are so cultureless
and fucking...
I still get...
Young ladies asking for me
to play the Macarena
at the Blues Kitchen
Paul
is this a
tell us of a dance floor
no but I have one
right
do you want to
save it for a proper episode
no
I want to tell you now
here we go
sit back ladies and gentlemen
Eli's got a tell us of a dance floor
tell us of a dance floor
here we go
well last night
I was DJing Paul
boring
and a young lady
approached
oh here we go
same old same old
and she said
listen everyone's leaving.
All my friends have gone.
Can you play something a bit more mainstream?
I was like, no, it's a no.
It's a no from me, I said.
It's no.
You've been playing some great stuff.
It's all been brilliant.
Every single thing you've played has been brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.
Lovely music.
Can you just play something more mainstream?
All my friends have gone.
If you want people to dance.
She was wittering on Paul
and that's the end of
my Tales from the
Dance Floor
there was a real
twist in the title
that was the sixth
sense of your
Tales from the
Dance Floor
and then she
fucked off
yeah who didn't
think all your
friends have gone
stay with me love
I'll show you
her friends were
the most horrible
white shirt tucked
in towny
premature balding cunts.
Classist.
Were they all drunk?
They were all drunk, all shouting.
Do you know what I mean?
When you go out to listen to music, you want to dance, you want to sing.
Yeah, you do.
Maybe sing along.
Why don't everyone turns it into a fucking football chant?
Why has everything got to be a football chant?
You know what I mean?
Cunts.
Fucking hell, this world. I don'tunts. Fucking hell, this world.
I don't know.
All right, well, that went to 0 to 60 quite quickly.
So thank you for giving us an impromptu
Tales from the Dance Floor.
Fine.
It's our pleasure.
On Gannon's platter today,
it's going to be a few selections from my mouth.
You've got records in your mouth.
Is that what we
have to take from this
sometimes a sentence
doesn't form quite as
quickly in my head
as I'd like it to
vinyl in your mouth
yes vinyl in my mouth
I have chosen
a few tracks
for us to listen to
today and rate
and review accordingly
but because it's
video games
I've picked three songs
based on video games
cool
so
wow
we're going to listen to the first minute of this
and then you can get...
Paul's already had a little bit of a listen
so he knows the prizes.
What is it?
Well, I'm going to tell you the first one right now.
The first one is possibly the most famous
of the songs that released in the 90s
to cash in on that craze.
Because it was.
The 90s was the craze for video games.
It was like the age of Games World
and Games Master and the magazines and all that kind of stuff. You know. But you would have thought the the craze for video games? It was like the age of Games World and Games Master and the magazines
and all that kind of stuff.
You know,
but you would have thought
the biggest craze was when they first came out.
But it wasn't, was it?
Because they weren't very impressive.
There was a crash as well in 1983
where it all went tits up.
Really? Why?
What caused that?
Because Atari basically shit the bed.
Yeah.
They made too many games
and there were too many consoles
competing for each other.
Yeah. And then E.T. had to be buried in the desert. Yes. they made too many games and there were too many consoles competing for each other yeah
and then E.T.
had to be buried
in the desert
yes
and that was
that was the
that was the nay dear
was it for the whole industry
it was
but there have been
subsequent crashes
but don't ask me
when they were
they were always
peaks and troughs
I think the first one
came up
well the next one
came just after
the Mega Drive
and Super Nintendo
from that whole
Jaguar period where no one was really getting the next generation it Super Nintendo from that whole Jaguar period
where no one was
really getting
the next generation
it was just yeah
people just kept
putting out shit
yeah
you know your
Mega Drive you love
there's a fucking
CD player on it
you don't like that
stick a Jaguar on the top
you don't like that
it's a massive
toy Jaguar
stuck on the top
there was like a
toy real Jaguar
the name of the console
was Jaguar
it sounds sexy
and dangerous
Sega always named
their consoles weird things Mega Drive's a good name or was Jaguar. Yeah, it sounds sexy and dangerous. Because Sega always named their consoles weird things.
Mega Drive's a good name.
Or Genesis.
Jaguar wasn't Sega.
Jaguar was Atari.
I get it right, Paul.
What was the Sega?
What was the one you could plug in?
The 32 one?
There was the 32X.
There was Mega CD, 32X,
and then there was Saturn,
then the Dreamcast.
Do you still want me for digitised the show?
Because I'm beginning to think
everything's out of my mouth.
This is exactly what I want you for.
To be the fucking idiot.
I'm basically playing
Elo's fucking role.
Oh, okay.
Now, listen.
At least I can talk properly.
True.
I was thinking about you
the other night, Paul.
On your back?
Oh, hello.
Rubbing your belly.
After I'm wanked off.
I was thinking about you
in a non-sexual way.
Shame.
And I was thinking, you know what your-sexual way shame and I was thinking
you know what your issue is
with language and stuff
and also getting dates wrong
and everything
yeah
is that you think
I'll
I'll do that thing
that operation
whatever it is
think of the word
do the math
whatever
and then you don't do it
you just assume
you've already done it
you kind of
do you know what I'm getting at
I kind of think
I agree to mix that
I skip some of the bits in between you skip things because you know what I'm getting at I kind of think I agree to make that I skip
some of the bits
you skip things
because you
you don't actually
ever follow through
with the actual
thing you have to do
like remembering
the right word
there are a lot of
things I follow
through with
I'd like to
follow through
into your face
anyway
it sounded like
a threat
and yet
the words
just on the words
I'm highly aroused
right now as well I'm a stalker I just wanted to say that please play the words, just all the words. And yet I'm highly aroused right now as well.
I'm a stalker.
I just wanted to say that.
Please, play the tune.
Well, the first track, anyway, is probably the most popular of that era of video games
in the 90s becoming songs.
It's called Tetris by Dr. Spin, and it going to dig this. So So that was Dr. Spin in Tetris.
Now, do you want to hear the most amazing fact about that song?
Yes.
That you've just looked up.
Actually, I knew this beforehand, to be fair.
I only pulled this up for other...
Is he sniffing the mole?
I'm sniffing the mole.
Don't sniff the mole.
Go and lick the tip.
It gives me shame.
Don't lick the tip.
Can't go and tongue his mouth.
Paul. It gives me shame. Don't lick the tip. Can't God tongue his mouth? Paul.
It's all right.
I'm putting it down, okay?
I'm putting it...
I've put the mole down.
Okay?
I've put it down.
I was going to say cunt.
So, do you know who Dr. Spin was?
Was it Timmy Mallet?
No. I'm in the right book. Oh, I'm in the right? Was it Timmy Manet? No.
I'm in the right group now, actually.
Can I guess?
Yes.
Was it Simon Cowell?
No.
What?
He did Zig and Zag and Teletubbies and things like that.
And the worst puppets of all, the two guys from London's Burning,
which I've just forgotten the fucking name of.
Puppets from London's Burning.
Yeah.
Robson and Genome.
No, Dr. Spin was
Andrew Lloyd Webber
oh my gosh
and record producer
Nigel Wright
and it was
1992 hit single
Lloyd Webber was
and still is
more widely known
as a composer
of tepid musicals
that's
I've said it
that's your
embellishment
so Tetris itself
I didn't know this
actually
was an early
1990s Eurodance
cover of the most famous
Game Boy game
blah blah blah
taken from the Russian
folk song
Korobens
yes
it's a traditional
arrangement
I didn't know that
I thought it was a
it's a traditional
arrangement
why it sounds so
Russian-y
I guess
I know
you're going to dig this
they probably
you know
thought
what's the most
Russian-y
sounding thing
that we wouldn't
have to pay
copyright on as well
that's a good point
folk is a great place to go.
Because there's a great documentary
about the history of Tetris
and how it's owned by Russia
and how the guy who created it
never saw a lot of money
until much later on.
Yeah.
Good documentary.
I forgot the title of it.
It's probably called
Tetris Documentary.
Has an interesting history
of how it got to the UK
and onto the Game Boy.
It's quite boring though.
I'm not going to go into it.
No, no, but wasn't it basically that they oversold it? They sold it to Nintendo and they sold it to Rupert Murdoch's game, the UK and onto the Game Boy it's quite boring though I'm not going to no no
but wasn't it
basically they
oversold it
they thought it was
a Nintendo
and they thought
it was a
Murdoch game
Mirasoft or something
weird
no it wasn't
Murdoch
it was
what's his face
the bloke
that fell off
the yacht
who's that fat guy
who fell off the boat
Bernard Sumner
the other guy
who fell off the boat
the mirror bloke
I'm going to remember
this fuckers name
the mirror man
it's the last thing
I fucking do
it was called
Robert Maxwell
thank you
hey
we remembered shit
that's like a proper
nostalgia show
can I tell a joke
go on
why are people
from Moscow
always in a hurry
don't know
they're always
rushing about
oh fuck me can we keep that in the show it's a bit too Are people from Moscow always in a hurry? Don't know. They're always rushing about.
Oh, oh, oh.
Fuck me.
Can we keep that in the show?
It's a bit too edgy.
What's the leader of Russia's favourite musical song?
What?
Putin on the Ritz.
Shut your face, you cunt.
Thing is,
we're telling a joke,
Paul.
You have to do the set up in a language
that people understand.
You do a Russian joke.
You do a Russian joke
right now.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
What do you call...
Yeah.
What do you...
Paul!
Get it right.
What do you call
a Russian army
of all like robots with their minds connected?
Paul.
What are you doing, Jack?
Who the fuck did a shout-out?
Did you understand that, Paul?
What's the answer then?
I'll just do it again.
Make it more clear.
What do you call a Russian army of robots whose minds are all connected?
I don't know.
The Borscht.
That's all right, that, actually.
Yeah. I just thought, that actually. Yeah.
I just thought of that as well.
It needs a knowledge of Star Trek.
Alright.
Did you hear about that Russian film
from the 80s about little monsters?
It's called Kremlins.
Yay!
Any more?
Barry, cry, eat your knob off.
No, anyway, that song got to number six
in the UK shingles charts, way back when.
In the 90s, that probably would net Mr. Lloyd Webber
a good bit of a point.
And apparently, you know, you said Timmy Mallet,
Nigel Wright, who produced that song with Lloyd Webber,
also went on to produce Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny
It's that cut and paste production style.
Yeah, they just drop in those beats
and those samples
that oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
fucking hell man
put the needle on the record
you should put some
oh yeah's in this
this episode
oh yeah
some 90s dance
oh yeah's
oh yeah
you do an oh yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
that's the Russian one oh yes alright so You do an oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
That's the Russian one.
Oh yes.
Right, so, what did you think of it? I hate it.
It's cynical.
I hate Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Fuck you.
Fuck everyone.
Fuck that song.
Fuck it.
Out of ten?
One.
Shit.
Cynical shit.
I'm surprised you even gave it one based on that vitriolic
it has to have one
I mean there's no
there's no
zero score
no I guess
that's fair enough
what about you
do you like it
yeah I hated it as well
and I similarly
hate Andrew Lloyd Webber
because I was made to go
and see Starlight Express
once
and it didn't live up
to what I'd
believed it was
it was just a load
of fuckers on
roller skates
it's fine you can see that in fucking
I don't know
anywhere
anywhere
and it wasn't
yeah it wasn't
exciting
no
and they're singing
and he's horrible
his horrible slimy
face
yeah he looks like
a rat's ass
that woman
Sarah Brightman
yeah
she uh
yeah
she's not with him
anymore though
what
oh no
oh who's the weirdest looking I know we shouldn't body shame Poor girl. She's not with him anymore, though. What? Oh, no. Oh.
Who's the weirdest looking?
I know we shouldn't body shame composers,
but Andrew Lloyd Webber or his brother,
Julian Lloyd Webber.
Yeah, but Julian Lloyd Webber has had a much more interesting musical output.
Has he?
Yeah, he did all the kind of...
Yeah, we're not interested in that.
I don't know what that is, Paul.
You're just sort of singing it.
Didn't Julian Lloyd Webber do a load of songs in the 70s
that were disco versions of orchestral pieces of music?
Doesn't matter.
Just who's the weirdest looking?
No, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Andrew.
Because he looks like every single slug.
Julian Lloyd Webber looks like Damien the Omen kid,
grown up.
Ooh.
He looks like he was evil when he was a child.
He looks like that cheruby kind of evil face.
He's got weird eyes.
I don't like it.
What?
Do you fancy him?
I don't fancy him.
You want a crack?
All right, well, then I'm going to give it two, because I remember I did buy the single.
You bought it?
I bought it.
On CD?
Yeah.
CD single.
Yeah, and it had four different remixes on it.
Talk about dead formats.
Yeah.
CD single.
Wow. Yeah, well, the only thing I didn't like about it was it forego the B-sides, by and large, CD single yeah talk about dead formats yeah CD single wow
the only thing I didn't like about it
was it forego
the B-sides by and large
for loads of remixes
of the original track
I have
Danny John Jewels
is tongue-tied
from Red Dwarf
as a single
and you think
oh god it's bad
but then you hear the four remixes
on the CD with it
and it's like
oh mate
that's going to be
those are going to be
this is my little tip from the top
yeah
I reckon CD singles
are going to become quite collectible.
You think?
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, they're absolute dog shit.
Dog shit.
You can't give them away.
But I think they will become collectible
because it's a dead format
and it's sort of, you know, fair enough.
Yeah, I bought it.
But it's that whole thing about novelty records.
You buy it because it's a novelty,
but then you never listen to it again.
Of course you don't.
You almost buy it and never listen to it
at all
well you say that though
I bought Neil's
Hole in My Shoe
remember Neil from
the other one
I possess two copies
that I listen to a lot
I have that album
on vinyl as well
yeah I've got the album
it's a great piece
the original tune
is a great piece of
Pop Psych
by Traffic
yeah it's a cover isn't it
that's right
it's a cover of a song
by Traffic
yeah
the whole album
was really good
first gig I ever
went to was Neil
really
yeah
so he performed
that album live
yeah he did like
as in a proper
rock show
it wasn't like a
comedy show
I mean he did
some funny stuff
like getting caught
up in the curtains
did he have like
other characters
because I know
that on the album
they have like
Bechdor and French
come in and do
bits and bobs
I would like to
get hold of that LP
Neil's heavy concept album.
Heavy concept album.
If I can find it in my home
I'll give you it. Well thanks Paul.
Because you know I'm a nice like that.
This is all getting a bit... I'm going to give it to
because it's that time. Right.
Okay. Next track. Now
this is probably the most
well remembered after
Tetris in terms of songs based on video games.
It's called Ambassadors of Funk and Super Mario Land.
Do you remember this?
It goes like this.
Welcome and enter the center of my Super Mario adventure My girl's trapped on the other side of town
So I'm moving in leaps and bounds
Folks around my way think it's strange
But there's a villain to blame
Even my ma, she thinks I'm crazy
But I got to rescue Daisy So that was Super Mario Land by M. Batson the Funk.
Wow. What I didn't know is that it came from a whole album called Super Mario Land by Ambassadors of Funk Wow
What I didn't know
is it came from a whole album
called Super Mario's
Mobile Disco
or something weird like that
It was called
Mobile Disco
It was all Nintendo licensed
or compact disco
Well it uses all the characters
on the album sleeves
and it looks legit
I didn't like the guitar bit
I'll tell you what
this website says
Lost Media Archive
It says
Song was released in 92
So yeah About the same time as Tetris.
In the early 90s, ambassadors of funk teamed up with Nintendo, okay,
to make a hip-hop album based on games in the Super Mario Bros. series.
While the album was only released in Japan in 93, on March 21st, 1993,
one song, called Super Mario Land, was released worldwide as a single on 7 and 12 inches,
and on CD, and out of 2009, it was on iTunes.
So there you go.
And there was a video made
where they went to some kind of
Wild West fun park
and filmed it there with a guy
in a Super Mario suit.
Oh, fuck.
But it's that weird thing where it's like
the sample is completely disconnected
from the beat of the song.
Yeah, yeah.
It's all just shoehorned in, isn't it?
It's so fucking weak, the lyrics.
People say I'm crazy,
but I'm just after Daisy.
Yeah, yeah. I also want to know if there were actual were ambassadors, it's so fucking weak the lyrics people say I'm crazy but I'm just athedaisy yeah yeah
I also want to know
if there were
actual were
ambassadors
whether it was a
bunch of ambassadors
that got together
and decided to
make a band
listen if they're
the ambassadors
of the funk
we're entering
world war 3
you know what I mean
it doesn't say
if they were
official ambassadors
of funk
well they weren't
I can tell you that now
not in our eyes
not in our eyes
the closest they got to funk was probably when they didn't I can tell you that now not in our eyes not in our eyes the closest they got to funk
was probably when
they didn't wash their balls
funky balls
there's another band name
funky balls with a Z
funky batwing
oh I like that
a sweaty batwing
yeah the video was filmed
for the song
in Chessington
World of Adventures
oh rock and roll
nothing says funk and MC coolness yeah Chessington World of Adventures oh rock and roll nothing says funk
and MC
coolness
yeah
Chessington
World of Adventures
terrible
now but this is
this
we live in an era
now where
computer game
music doesn't
penetrate in the same way
no because it's all
orchestral
shite
yeah
it's just bland
yeah
it's like
you know
and they haven't got
kind of
Hans Zemeckis
or what I know is it
Hans Zimmer
and all that stuff
all those people
doing the soundtracks
and that's the thing
video games want to be
movies these days
everything has to be
movie like
it's epic
and orchestral
we don't get
nice little ditties
what was that platform
Mario platform game
for the Super NES
oh there's loads
Mario World
Mario World was the main one and then the
follow up was Yoshi's
Island.
I love the music on
those games.
Yeah.
That was like a real
high point.
Echoed when you went
in the cage.
Oh that was so
brilliant.
It's those little
touches.
The drippy droppy
in the cage.
I love it.
Absolutely love those
games I have to say.
Yeah but the whole
album is just full of
samples from that game
and other games and
it's just with a little
bit of sad rapping around it
terrible, yeah, I mean hip hop
I mean in the loosest, you know, possible
hip plop more like
shit shit shit
shit bum poo bum
willy bum
bum scum
oh there you go, so what are we going to give that a score
I like that less than the
Tetris one though, yeah me too, really? score? I like that less than the Tetris one, though. Yeah, me too.
Really?
This is the thing, you gave the Tetris one so...
Yeah.
Although this did have...
I've got happier memories of Mario Land.
I have much, yeah.
And that did bring...
I mean, I love Tetris.
It brought back a bit more of a feel, a nostalgic glow, then.
Well, because my first major console was a Game Boy,
I think the first games I completed fully were Mario Land and DuckTales.
They were my two big...
Oh, good old DuckTales.
That's got some of the best music in a video game.
Was that a good video game?
DuckTales?
Yeah.
Brilliant.
It's classic Capcom, so it's built on that whole Mega Man kind of style,
but it's simpler for kids.
To platformer?
Yeah.
Okay.
But some of the music in it is beautiful.
Obviously, the one I always go on about is the moon theme,
which is just beautiful.
And every time I hear that arranged on a piano, you know, acoustically or with an orchestra, it is beautiful. Obviously the one I always go on about is the moon theme which is just beautiful and every time I hear that
arranged on a
piano you know
acoustically or
with an orchestra
sounds great.
I got DuckTales
Remastered for the
Wii U.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
Beautiful and
there's all the
scores fantastic for
it as well.
Beautiful.
Yeah lovely.
So I can give it
half a point
half out of ten?
You can give it
half a point if you
want.
Yeah.
Half a point.
Half a point.
He's the guy who
comes in and rates
stuff.
Half a point.
J.R. for point. J.R. for point. Is he a friend with Mic'd Up? Hello. point half a point he's the guy who comes in and rates stuff half a point J Arthur
point
J Arthur
point
is he a
president
marked up
hello
that's what
he sounds like
I'm J Arthur
point
J Arthur
going back to
my point about
you trying to
try to speak
try to speak
properly Paul
yeah
okay
yes so I'd give it half a point half a point Try to speak. Try to speak properly, Paul. Yeah. Okay.
Yes.
So, I'd give it half a point.
Half a point.
Stop it.
Point five of a point.
Okay, fine.
And what would you like to do?
Give it half a point?
I'm going to give it a point and a half.
Oh, a point and a half. I don't know why I'm going to find that amusing.
Stop.
Half a point. It's not called point and a half. That was his know why I'm going to find that amusing. Arthur Point,
he's not called Point and a Half.
That was his sidekick.
He's got like one eye.
Oh, here comes Arthur Point
and his friend,
Point and a Half.
Yeah, there you go.
We are making shit up here.
Yeah, mate, we're all over it.
Right, so here's the third
and final track
on Ganon's platter today.
And this is,
we're moving away from Nintendo
now, boys and girls.
We're going on to Sega.
And what would be Sega's biggest character?
Street Fighter 2.
You're wrong, you fucking idiot.
It's Alex Kidd, you twank.
I'm being silly.
Was it Alex Kidd?
He was Sega's mascot.
Wasn't Street Fighter 2 on Sega?
That's right.
He was basically Monkey, wasn't he?
He was like, yeah.
He was essentially, yeah,
Monkey from Monkey Magic.
I do not remember Alex Kidd.
His fist used to get big and he used to punch blocks.
Okay.
And he had big ears.
Get a big fist on.
Punch blocks.
Get belly candy.
Get treasure out of those blocks.
Alex Kidd was, I think, mostly a home console and also maths assistant.
Street Fighter 2
was on Sega though
well no
it started in the arcades
Capcom
and then it was
released for what
SNES
and then it did
eventually come to
the Mega Drive
but it wasn't as good
did it
I don't remember that
they did do it on the Mega Drive
and the Amiga
which was a famously
bad version of it
did it look pretty
not really
so there you go.
No, we are going
to get a song now
from Sonic the Hedgehog.
This song is called
Super Sonic by HWA
featuring Sonic the Hedgehog
and it's done off
sounding like this. Thank you.na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na You get the gist.
Whoa.
They're all the same formula, basically, aren't they?
Some shitty dance music.
Just take a dance beat, a classic dance beat or whatever, and just, yeah.
I would say this one works better than the Mario one.
Because the Mario one seems shoehorned into that.
That is slightly better produced.
And it's trance-ier,
which means you can kind of get away
with the kind of trance-y Sonic theme.
It's slightly better produced.
And it's called Super Sonic.
It's called Super Sonic.
They lose points for that from me.
What year do you think it was made in?
96 or something.
Five or six.
Three.
I think it's later.
Two. Like all of them. It was a real glut. It was the golden year. Yeah. do you think it was made in? 96 or something 5 or 6 3 I think it's later 2 like everyone
I'm saying all of them
it was a real glut
the golden years
yeah
the glut
do you know what
the 90s were terrible
for music
terrible
no that's not true
yes they were
what
Ben Folds 5
first of all
give me a fucking break
that's about your Britpop
Britpop?
bullshit
garage
all shit
it's not
just because you
don't like it
Oasis are shit
I'm not afraid to
say it now.
I'm saying it now.
It's Blair.
It's Suede.
It's Jay.
It's Shed 70.
Blair?
Not Blair.
Tony Blair.
Anyway.
Okay.
Let's have some
decades, right?
For music.
Let's have some
decades for music.
Late 20th century.
Whatever.
Fuck Sonic.
Yeah, he's done done he's had his moment
he's a shitty little
HWA the band
that sang this
was hedgehogs
with attitude
I did try to get
a mummified hedgehog
to bring
we've got a mummified
mole though
can I just say
it's fucking excellent
look at this little one
I couldn't find a hedgehog.
We've identified his face area.
Have you seen his teeth?
He looks like a mole rat.
I have.
I have.
I have.
This is upsetting to me.
Look.
Hedgehog with attitude.
What, did you like it?
No, I did not like it.
Right, okay.
It was shit.
Right, here's some decades
Paul
the 50s
the 60s
the 70s
the 80s
and the 90s
what's at the
bottom of that
heap
the 90s
are at the
bottom
that's a tough
one to be honest
though
what are you
emotionally
tied to
quite a lot
of songs
in the 90s
I'm talking
about quality
objective
musical quality
well that's
across the board
we're not objective people though
how are we going to know
well
you're objective
objectionable person
wordplay
it's worse when two people
fucking cite me
at the same time
no I was just yawning
that's even worse
alright if
I'm going to keep
Keith with me forever
so I'll get you to gag
I would put 80s
below the 90s
always have it in my pocket
I mean that would
that would be the only case
to make
based on personal taste
that's a case you could make
70s and 60s
yeah that's a case you could make
alright happy
alright there you go
2000s can fuck a fat chode
yeah
they've surely got to be
at the bottom
if you're going to do
all the decades
we didn't want to go
into the 20th century
we're keeping well
out of that muck
the morass
that quagmire
quagmire
quagmire's just a longer
way of saying mire
isn't it
yeah
unnecessarily longer
isn't that exciting
do you know what is a quagmire
yeah
my pants
a swamp
a fetid swamp
I'll put Keith in there
maybe he'll
he'll moisturise
he'll moisturise
all his organs
will moisten
well on that fucking
moment of
of clarity
we need a mark
we need a mark
for the hedgehog
one one one
right happy bullshit
we always say one
what we learnt is
video games do not
translate into
pop hits
very well
no
is that the end of that segment no Is that the end of that segment?
That is the end of that segment.
Do you want to say something witty?
No.
Good.
I can't.
It's done.
Oh, it's Cheap Show's big finale.
I'm very proud to say I've been doing something
and you can get to play.
Do you want to play a game, Eli?
I'd like to play the game of you stop singing.
That's only going to make me want to sing more, though.
Yeah, but that's... Eli!
Don't get your banjo out.
First of all, it's not a banjo.
It's a fucking banjo.
Oh, God, what's going on here?
Eli, do you want to play a game?
No. Eli, do you want to play a game?
No Eli
do you want to play the game?
No
I've said no
Eli
come on let's play a game
Fuck you
Well you can just fuck off
No you can
No you can fuck off
No you can fuck off
What's he doing?
We have got a game to play
at the end of the show
Which is now
It's right now
right so let's
get it out
it's getting to that
point where
innuendo is rife
no
we are playing a game
tonight called
Paul Gannon's
play your
carts
right
right
we've got to
kind of identify
various different
people called cartwright
no
that would be a good game.
Who's Cartwright?
Do we ask you questions about famous Cartwright?
Barbara Cartwright.
Is it called Arthur Point?
No.
Is it called Arthur Point?
And he's in Strewn Onions.
Arthur Point.
Play your Cartwright.
J. Arthur Point.
Mr. Trebor.
Trebor the Time Traveller.
Keith the Mole.
Oh, my God.
Keith the fucking desiccated mole
look there he is Paul
look at his mouth
I'm Keith
look at my little mouth
I'm trying not to look at it
because it generally
is a gag thing for me
and the fact that
you're exploiting that
is a sad indictment
of your ability
to be a cruel
he really smells like
a musty old
what does the hole smell of
can you get your nose
right in the hole
I'm smelling Keith's arse
oh it's very
that is where the bowels would have been yeah isn't it just know Can you get your nose right in a hole? I'm smelling Keith's arse. Oh, it's very...
That is where the bowels would have been, isn't it?
Just know.
Just know, because it's really important.
So, we're going to play a game.
So, you know, Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards, right?
Oh, who does not?
Or in America, if you're listening, it was called Card Sharks, the game.
Oh, really?
Yes.
And basically the idea was...
Who presented it in America?
Oh, don't know. I could look it up on the internet,... Who presented it in America? Don't know.
I could look it up
on the internet
but apparently
that's a thing
we don't want to do.
Don't bother.
Juice Forsyth.
Although Kenny Cantor
did the New Zealand
version of that.
Remember Kenny Cantor?
No.
Exactly.
Don't go to New Zealand.
Exactly.
Why do you remember
something like that
and yet you can't do
basic number things?
I don't know.
It's a very good question.
Why can't I add
when all I have in my brain
is who presented
variants of panel shows around the world? I don't know it's a very good question why can't I add when all I have in my brain is who presented variants
of panel shows
around the world
I don't know
what's this game then Paul
we're playing
play your card right
but instead of playing cards
we're playing with
cards
cards right
oh look at that
I have Ziploc bags
a bunch of Game Boy games
wow you really did
that I rescued from storage
look at that
I've got loads of them
and I played
all of them recently
just a quick sample
to get abreast
of the situation
and it's just like
playing a card
you've got to go
from left to right
and you've got to see
if the card that follows
is
and here's the twist
more enjoyable to me
to play
or less enjoyable
than the game before
so we've got to guess
your subjective experience
it's a totally arbitrary
judgement what I'm saying is if Paul plays nice he's going to win today won the game before. So we've got to guess your subjective experience. It's a totally arbitrary judgment.
What I'm saying is
if Paul plays nice,
he's going to win today.
Is there a prize?
Ooh.
What's the incentive?
A kiss from Keith.
No.
If I win,
Paul has to kiss Keith.
No.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Kiss the mole.
All right, for the sake of stakes,
I'll do that.
But if I barf,
I'm barfing in your face.
All right.
All right.
So, here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to randomly pull out six cards each, right?
Okay.
And then I'm going to line them up so you can't see them in advance,
just the backs to them.
So, I'm going to get them all out now.
Oh, jiggly, jiggly, bubbly, jiggly.
And some of these games are classics.
Have you got a list of your... Or are you just going to make it up?
I'm going to basically make it up,
depending on this game.
You can talk back like that, Mr. Man.
It's all on the spur of the moment, basically.
You're not...
You're just going to think,
oh, what did I enjoy that more or less?
No, no, to be fair,
I will be as honest as I can.
I've played all of these recently
on my Nintendo Game Boy SP.
What does that mean, the SP? You've got a pouch what does that mean the SP
you've got a pouch
does that mean
it will play
any kind of game
it just means
it was clamshell
and it had backlight
so you could
but will it play
any kind of game
it'll play
Game Boy Advance
Game Boy Color
and Game Boy Games
this is why it's a
really nice little console
it is nice
and you can get it
for about 10, 15, 20 quid
in some second hand shops
charity shops
so if you've got
a load of Game Boy games
and you can't play because your Game Boy's dead go out've got a load of Game Boy games and you can't play
because your Game Boy's dead
go out and try and find
a Game Boy SP
and you're going to be
happy as Larry
it'll play all of them
and it has this nice
satisfactory
clamshell
it's a nice action
I mean I don't think
it's the Game Boy
it's like Nintendo's
prettiest Game Boy
because it's kind of
blocky
and like it's kind of hard
the corners hurt your
thumbs
ergonomics.
I found that with most of their Game Boys, though.
I mean, certainly the original.
That wasn't a comfortable thing to hold.
I love it, but it was not comfortable.
Game Boy Advance was comfortable to hold
when it was the fucking side one up.
Okay, maybe, yeah, with the shoulder buttons.
And the micro is beautiful,
but almost impossible to hold
because it's so teeny tiny.
It's that little tiny one.
It's ridiculous.
So I've played them all on this.
So I've given myself a mental recount of the quality of the game.
So they have passed some sort of muster.
I'm pulling out the games now.
I'm facing them down so I don't rig the system.
Well, I know what that yellow one is.
Is that a yellow cartridge?
Yes.
Well, it's Pokemon.
No. Is it not the Pikachu? Is it Well, it's Pokemon. That's the...
No.
Is it not the Pikachu?
Is it Banana Man?
No.
It's Donkey Kong.
Yeah.
Actually, there's two.
We've got Donkey Kong 3 and Donkey Kong Land.
Oh.
Now, which would you rather?
They haven't taken it out of the competition
because, obviously, the colour gives away my feelings.
Glad this has been thought through.
I love Donkey Kong Land, but there's some problems here.
How dare you? How dare you? I like that one this has been thought through. I love Donkey Kong Land but there's some problems here. How dare you?
How dare you?
I like that one.
Probably if we think
things through.
What was that Donkey Kong
racing one when he
had the planes?
Diddy Kong Racing.
That was good.
Donkey Kong Land 3
based on Diddy's Quest
which I think is the
Super Nintendo.
They're all basically
Game Boy versions of
Super Nintendo games
so they don't quite
translate and they look
pretty ugly and the
screen's quite small so
they don't really do
justice to the game
but anyway I've
pulled out one bag
I'm going to line up
two rows of six
cartridges
alright so here we
go face down
face down
face down
so this is row one
these are all round
you've got them in
like cases and
everything
yeah
that's really farty
I love my fucking
Gameboys
I'm upset
I've got every model
of Gameboy
that they've ever released
apart from all the DS's
when they released
fucking 50 DS's
and different types
you'll probably have
a heart attack
if you saw how I
looked after my games
it's alright
you know
it's one of these things
where to each their own
really
is the mini Gameboy
a thing that's actually
going to happen
they patented
the idea of it
whether it happens
or not we don't know
but based on the success of the Super it happens or not we don't know but based on success
of the Super Nintendo
and the NES
and the forthcoming 64
because that's confirmed
isn't it?
No.
No.
Someone just made that up
and it became news.
Yeah.
Alright.
Okay.
Well there you go.
Everyone was speculating
because the last two
have done well
so you know.
Alright.
Fair enough.
And that's the next one
in the series.
It wouldn't surprise me.
They'll put Pilotwings on that.
Donkey Kong Banjo.
They didn't put Pilotwings
on the SNES one. No they fucking didn't. Oh no. I was gutted on that. Donkey Kong, Banjo. They didn't put Pilot Wings on the...
No, they fucking didn't.
I know.
I was gutted about that.
Because that's the most mellow, lovely game you could ever play.
It is.
Have you ever played Pilot Wings?
I have.
You're flying, right?
Yeah.
All right.
So what we're going to do is anyone...
You can have either row, but whoever gets this question right first picks the row.
Okay.
All right.
So here's the first question.
I'm going to go to Eli first because it's home advantage, I like to row okay all right so here's the first question I'm gonna go to Eli
first because it's
home advantage I like
to think so Eli here
is your first question
and just like play
your cards right we
asked a hundred people
and all you gotta do
is say how many of
those people thought
that I can't fucking
explain
what a hundred people
what a hundred people
did you ask
the website that I'm
getting all these
questions from
all right you didn't
go out
you didn't go out
into Cambridge came bro no I fucking didn all these questions from you didn't go out you didn't go out into Cambridge
came bro
no I fucking didn't
I go do you like this
why have you got my voice
I don't know
to protect my identity
right here's your
do you want to fucking
win this by the way
no not particularly
with your little snarky
why would I want to win this
well yeah
I'll get you puking my face
if I win
is that what happens
he gets to kiss the mole
if I kiss the that what happens? He gets to kiss the mole if I
Kiss the dirty mummified mole
Shut up, kiss
My strewn onions
Shut up
Everyone can shut up
You're never coming back for a fucking star
I'm a beardy man with your hairs
You look like a doppelganger from a dark future
How do you like that?
Listen, he'll always
be welcome on the show
especially if he brings
mummified creatures.
No way.
Now that I've seen
how well the mole's
gone down, so to speak.
Carrots.
No, rabbits next.
I'll be bringing all sorts.
Right, Eli.
Yes.
We asked 100 people
do you think people
who claim to have seen
UFOs are crazy?
How many of those people said yes?
Yes, I think they're crazy.
Yes, I think they're crazy.
Out of 100.
45.
You're saying 45?
Yes.
Okay.
In that case, Mr. Paul,
do you think it was higher or lower the actual answer to that?
These are people saying that people who say they've seen UFOs are crazy. We asked 100 people, do you think that people who claim they've seen UFOs are crazy.
We asked 100 people,
do you think that people who claim to see UFOs are crazy?
You don't have to read it out again.
That's what Bruce Forsythe does.
He doesn't do anything now.
He's in the ground.
Bruce is dead.
Is that a stroke?
It's a lovely stroke.
Is it a brain side?
A brain side?
You said what?
Forty-six.
I said forty-five.
Forty-five.
Is the answer higher or lower than forty-five?
And stop making that face.
Unnecessary.
Is it higher? Is it higher? higher or lower than 45 and stop making that face. Unnecessary. I'm not impressed
by your behaviour.
Both of you.
Higher.
You say higher than 45.
The actual answer is
16.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
So Eli gets control
on the first round.
People believe in UFOs.
Top or bottom row? I thought that's what I was saying.
I know.
No, I wasn't.
You were saying more of them
thought they were crazy.
Yeah.
No, apparently in America
they think less.
Oh, is it in America?
Yeah, because it's from card sharks,
not play your card right.
Oh, well, if I'd have known that.
Well, if you'd known that, Paul.
Yeah, that would have changed everything.
It's absolute travesty.
You're going to win anyway.
It's a travesty.
Bottom or top?
Bottom or top row? I'll have the bottom row, please. You're going to win anyway. Travesty. Bottom or top row?
I'll have the bottom row, please. You want the bottom row.
So here's your first cart.
It's Super Mario Land.
That's a really strong cart.
Remember, you've got to lose.
We want him to suck on that mole.
Obviously, Nintendo released that.
Suck on that mole.
Forever Mario game.
I prefer, honestly, Six Golden Coins, Super Mario Land 2.
I'd even go to Son for it.
I prefer the third one.
Hang on. What prefer the third one
hang on
what if the next one
is six golden coins
well then he's got
two golden coins
well I'll say no more
have you played Mario Land
is that the original one
for the
that's like I was
saying earlier
that's one of the few
games I've completed
more than once
yeah
it's a brilliant game
it's a fantastic game
yes
anyway so do you think the part that follows this is I enjoyed It's a brilliant game. It's a fantastic game. Yes.
Anyway, so do you think the card that follows this is I enjoyed more or less than... I don't get to see it first.
No.
It's just like the game.
Less.
Less.
So you think the next card is I enjoyed less.
Yes.
Let's have a look.
Shanghai.
Yes.
Oh, God.
And you're right.
I enjoyed that considerably fucking less.
What is Shanghai? That pinball simulator? I've not even heard of that. Shanghai is the. And you're right. I enjoy that considerably fucking less. What is Shanghai?
That pinball simulator?
I've not even heard of that.
Shanghai is the game where you play with tiles.
You know, you have a pyramid of tiles and you have to match them up.
Ah, like Mahjong sort of tiles.
Like Mahjong.
Yeah.
If at any point during this section you want to have a quick look at the game, we can pull it out and go,
all right, no.
All right.
So in that case, you know what?
I'm going to add two more games to this
because I want to
eat this out
great format Paul
just make it up
just go along
I just want to eat it out
one two three four
I'll do eight
eight's a nice
so another two
it's constantly evolving
yeah because it's a
bit of fun innit
Darwin's game show
right so
is the next car
do I enjoy it more or less
than Shanghai
I think it's
going to have
to be more
because Shanghai
looks so dry
Shanghai looks
so dry
let's have a look
and the next
card is
Disney's Tarzan
utter fucking
shit
really
awful game
so I enjoyed
that much much
less than Shanghai
which at least
gives you basic
simple puzzle
pleasure
it gives you
puzzle pleasure
puzzle pleasure
memory puzzle
pleasure
puzzle pleasure
puzzle pleasure
puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure. It gives you a puzzle pleasure. Puzzle pleasure. Memory puzzle pleasure. Puzzle pleasure. Puzzle pleasure.
That's only going to encourage us more.
I scored three.
You scored three.
But again,
all you've got to do
is get to the end first.
All right?
Ah, okay.
So, next question,
we start with you,
Mr. Paul Rose.
So do I flip that over?
Oh, no.
Oh, I see.
I'll ask another question. We asked
100
married men,
would you share your wife with a friend
as in Eskimo custom?
How many said
they would share their wife as in
Eskimo custom?
It's actually
very racist to call them Eskimos.
Yeah, they're Inuits.
You stupid Inuit.
That's put me in it, Inuit.
I bet they love that as well.
Go call them Inuits.
No more Brucey.
No more Brucey.
Fuck you.
Right.
So, how many out of 100
Said they would happily
Share their wife
With a friend
As per Eskimo
Culture
15
15
Oh Eli
Higher or lower
Higher
The actual answer is
10
Ding ding ding ding
Oh
Paul gets control
Of that round
So your first game cast
Is
Donkey Kong
And that's the
Game Boy version
very good game
of the original
arcade edition
isn't it
yeah it starts off
with the original arcade
goes through a few levels
and then it becomes
like have you seen
the sequel to this
which is Mario Minis
it's a bit
it turns into that
what's that
what do you mean
it means you have to
kind of collect keys
and open up things
and it's a bit more
plat face puzzle based
gaming but it's all basically set platform-based, puzzle-based gaming.
But it's all basically
set on the sort of
scaffolding?
It changes as you go
level up by level.
There's a lot of levels
on that.
There's a lot.
You get your money's worth
out of that.
That's a high-scoring card.
That's a high-scoring card.
So do you think
the next card
is lower?
Yeah, I enjoy it lower.
Let's have a look.
Gameplay.
Ooh!
What?
Off the sun! That's... But I will say this. lower yeah I enjoy it lower let's have a look gameplay oh what what's the that's
but I will say this
I enjoy it less than
Donkey Kong
oh right
it's basically a bit
like cannon fodder
this game
you control two
characters at the
same time
one zaps
one traps
and you move
around Zelda-esque
dungeons to collect
ghosts and
is it any good
it's fine
it's very boring
very quickly
and the bosses
take forever to kill
so you kind of end up spamming boring very quickly and the bosses take forever to kill so you kind of
end up spamming your
spamming your life away
on the bosses so yeah
you still get that but
still it's less enjoyable
than Donkey Kong so yeah
is the next cart more
enjoyable or less
enjoyable than Ghostbusters
2 let's have a little
look at this Tetris you
can't go wrong with
Tetris Tetris is the
gold standard of time
killing fun it certainly is so thereris Tetris is the gold standard of time killing fun
it certainly is
so there you go
so is the next
car
less
he's on a roll
ladies and gentlemen
and remember
I may as well bring
this up now
if you want to
freeze and carry on
if you just don't
want to make that
next step
you can freeze
and we can carry on
from that point
so less than Tetris
what do you mean
remember
you didn't tell us
that
I'm telling you now
fuck you
I didn't have the
chance to freeze
I did not have the chance to freeze I did not have the chance to freeze
Whatever
Whatever
You would get out from Bruce
Whatever
You're better than last week's audience
Right
So
You said lower than Tetris
And you're right
It's Final Fantasy Legend
I'm gonna freeze
freeze very good
point to freeze now
I will just say at
this point Final
Fantasy Legend is a
it's a fighting RPG
JRPG I think
oh it's a role
playing game
this one's fucking
hard as nails
like I've seen
people who say this
game's amazing it's
one of the best
Final Fantasy games
certainly portable
but they always say
it's hard as fucking
nails and when I had a little go of it
I was like
I'm out
after 10 minutes
it was too many specs and stats
so I'll leave it at that
right
back to you Eli
you have 1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 cards to do
and Paul only has 4
so next question
for you
we asked 100
if he freezes
then he wins
he gets to go again
I don't understand
he's asked to answer questions
to gain control of your row you still to go again. I don't understand. He's had to answer the questions to gain control of your row.
You still have that option.
All right?
I don't understand.
What's fucking talking about?
I don't know the point of that.
How does the freeze work?
I just thought I'd do it
if you were going.
If you don't want to risk it
and lose control...
Yeah, but he's lost control now.
If he...
He gets control back.
If he answers this question right,
he gets control back.
Why does he want control back
if he's frozen?
There is no freeze rule in the game.
So, okay, so who's...
No freeze rule in the game.
So you're still going.
Then he's still going.
We are moving swiftly on.
Right, okay.
Eli Silverman.
No, it's not my turn.
Paul hasn't frozen.
He has.
But you've just said there isn't a freeze rule.
No, you've just said there is no freeze rule.
Not kissing a mole.
You are so close to Frenching a mummified mole.
Yeah, come on.
I'm going on.
All right.
Okay.
So.
Okay.
The next one.
Final Fantasy.
More than that?
More than the hard game that is.
It's Batman for the Game Boy.
That's not very good, is it?
I'm going to have to.
I'm going to have to say I don't know on this one because that's a platform game.
Oh, fuck.
You're not going to get that with cars and playing cars. At first there's no freeze roll. You know what? Then it's like, I don't know on this one because that's a platform game. Oh, fuck's sake. You're not going to get that with cards and playing cards.
At first there's no freeze roll.
Then it's like,
I don't know.
You can't go from
a five of space
to a seven of hearts.
I'm trying to present a game
and there's no fucking rules.
It's just me talking about
a five of diamonds.
No.
Stay there.
Stay there.
What I will say is
these two cards
are practically
getting two five of diamonds
in a row
so I'm going to say
that's a draw
you're going to go
no further on that one
because I can't make
a decision
I'm giving Eli a chance
aren't I as well
so this is Tarzan
is a piece of shit
you told me
you have to answer
a question though
so we asked
100 psycho
psychos
we asked
100 psych
psychiatrists
I don't know why that was so hard to read
I've got an idea
Maybe you need to see a psychiatrist
Okay this is a bit sexist
We asked 100 psychiatrists
So is the last one about sharing the wives
He's all like
Fucking bitch
It's America man
That's disease society
Generally speaking,
we asked 100 psychiatrists,
does watching a soap opera character
solve their problems,
help a woman to make the same decisions
in her real life?
What the fuck?
How many psychiatrists said yes,
by watching a TV soap character
solve a problem,
she can take that information
to her own life
and solve her own crisis that way?
70.
70. You say 70 psychiatrists said watching a fucking tv show is a good way of solving a problem i think you know story is a is
the metaphor and you know story helps people okay you're saying storytelling therapy i'm saying 70
paul it doesn't matter though does it because there's no rules and i don't even know what's
going on higher or lower lower lower is the correct answer
the answer is
29
right so he didn't freeze
there was no point
he was just
yeah but you could have
got yours
alright alright
dickhead
so Batman
do you want to change
that card
or keep that card
change it
you want to change it
can I still carry on
yeah yeah
you just get to change it
on your next go
we're changing Batman 4
to Raider for the Game Boy Color
which is a kind of
Prince of Perjury
kind of game
I remember it
it was shite
yeah it's not
very effective
but it's a nice
clear see through cart
I like that
I gave you a few of those
because I had some
didn't I
yeah you had a few
I've probably got in
this bag somewhere
I'm getting the
Tetris one back
I've got loads of
Tetris
anyway
Tomb Raider
do you think I enjoyed the next cart on this row more or less?
More.
More, he says.
And the answer is...
It's DuckTales.
You can't get any better than that.
You can't go much wrong with that.
So DuckTales.
That's definitely a score there.
He's got two more carts to go.
So do you think the next cart...
Less.
He's bold.
It'd have to be less wouldn't it
it's Mario Golf
for the Game Boy
which actually isn't
a bad game
I loved it on the Wii
yeah
Mario Golf
classic
it's alright
it's a decent little
golf game
it's a classic
you know
it's bare bones
but you have
one last cart
do you think
the next cart
I enjoyed more
or less
than Mario Golf?
More.
More.
And you based upon the face that you pulled when Mario Golf.
To win the game.
Exactly.
It's all psychology.
It's like poker.
You don't know what's in your fear.
It's a whole circle, jerk, of fucking retro game enthusiasts,
and I'm on the outside.
Oh, looking in.
Why don't you fucking hang out with Arthur Point and Dickington Willoughby?
You are Dickington Willoughby? You are Dickington
Willoughby.
You can hang out
with me anytime,
mate.
Right, so, to win
the game, did I enjoy
this next cart more
or less than golf?
You're saying more.
More.
The answer, the
cart is...
Please be a stinker.
It's Mega Man 2.
I like Mega Man 2
less than golf.
That's because I
can play golf and
I'm shit at Mega Man
and it makes me angry
and rage quit
come on
so now what happens
so now basically
you have to swap that cart out
for the next time
if you get control of your row
so it's still
here we go
it's on a knife edge
Eli
you have now got control
right
happy
now if you win
he doesn't have to snog the mole
it's me
if he wins
I thought it was if I win
that you snog the mole
because you often win if either of us win which one of us is going to win because he's not playing you're going to snog the mole it's me if he wins I thought it was if I win that you snog the mole because you often win
if either of us win
which one of us
is going to win
because he's not playing
you're going to
snog a mole
you've talked
yourself into
snogging
a 15 year old mole
you can only win
properly
is if you get
this whole
row in one go
whereas if he wins
at all
it counts as a win
but if you want to win to make it balanced and fair to me you have to get this whole row now in go whereas if he wins at all it counts as a win okay
but if you want to win
to make it balanced and fair to me
you have to get this whole row
now in a go
you've lost me completely
with any kind of rash
you like
Tarzan
we'll make him snog the mall
Tarzan
lower
next game
lower or more than
less enjoyable
right
because you said it was shit
mercenary force
exciting stuff
but unfortunately
I liked that
more
than Tarzan
no I meant more
did you mean more
because it sounds like
you meant less
when you said
fucking words less
I did
you confused me
with your shitness
did I with the words
more or less
listen
yeah
take it back
take it back
you take it back
you're going to enjoy
the one after Tarzan
more than the Tarzan
because you said
Tarzan was shit
I enjoyed this one less though
and that's what you said more.
So I liked it less.
What is your status with this?
I liked it less than Tarzan.
Did you?
Yeah, because I couldn't play it.
That's what I said.
Did you?
Yeah.
Is that what he said, Paul?
Yes.
Yeah.
Paul is already halfway down the fucking 15.
I don't care what happens as long as you have some interaction
with the mole
because it makes me
laugh when you're rich
right good
that's nice to know
Eli
there's the next game
that comes after
Mercenary Force
tell me a bit about
Mercenary Force
Mercenary Force
is a kind of
you know what
I need to have a little bit
you don't even know
what it is
I thought you played
you told me you'd played
all these games
for 15 minutes
I did
but I can't remember
this is a top down one
or a side scroller
and that's what I just
want to have a little look at
oh
fucking love that sound
Mercury Force
1990 from Live Planning
which sounds great
round one
alright fucking
it's like cannon fodder
it is a top down
I was right
and I do like
I did like this more
than I
than fucking Tarzan
so
you're wrong
okay
so
oh dear
so
we're swapping out
Mega Man
from another card
we're still on Mario Golf We're still on Mario Golf.
We're still on Mario Golf, but the next cart.
We're getting rid of Mega Man now.
We've got this new one in.
Do I enjoy this cart more or less than Mario Golf?
More.
More, he says.
And the cart is Frogger.
Of course I fucking love golf more than Frogger.
Frogger's boring shit.
No it isn't.
It's boring.
It's dodging bricks.
It's it.
Bricks.
Cars.
Floating on logs over and over and over again.
Surely that wasn't just that over and over.
Frogger's one of the most popular games of all time.
It's classic.
This is not what's the most popular game of all time.
It's subjective.
Do I love this more or less?
It's absolutely subjective and ever-changing.
And I liked Frog ever changing and I liked
Frogger
let's just look at
some more fucking games
alright
so Paul
Rose you have won
I did win
your cart's right
yeah you've won
what's his prize
how did I win
because you said
I enjoyed that less than golf
look at the prize
what's the prize
I thought I said more
oh you did say more
no
I did win
no
you said more
you said more you said more. You said more.
You said more.
Why do you have to swap that cart out?
I forgot snakes.
Why did I say that?
Eli's got control.
So, Eli, after Mercenary Force,
did I enjoy the next game more or less?
From what you've said about Mercenary Force,
I'd say more.
More.
Let's have a look if I enjoyed this more.
It's Super Mario Land 2.
I can't enjoy that more than that.
It's an amazing fucking beautiful game.
That makes your next one easy. Less. Less. Super Mario Land 2. I can't enjoy that more than that. It's an amazing fucking beautiful game. That makes your next one easy.
Less.
Less.
Less than...
Super Mario Land 2.
Is Zelda's Link Awakening.
Oh, man.
It's higher.
That is one of my latest games.
That's like drawing a king and the next one is an ace, isn't it, man?
So there you go.
This is tense stuff.
So it's down to the wire.
The next card.
Paul, did I enjoy this cart
More or less
Than Mario Golf
On the Gameboy
Well so far
I think I've been saying
More every time
Don't do that
Now I get to use
My poker face
I'd like to poke your face
I'd like to poke my penis
Into your face
Right yeah
We all got the reference
Alright
Did I enjoy this game
More or less
Oh less
Because I've been
saying more
and it's not been working
the game I chose was
Legend of the River King
and fuck me
do I hate that game
so you have won
right
mole
get the mole
face
mole
face
yes
look it just has to
touch your
tip of your tongue
or your lips
rub it on his lips
I'm like what the fuck
are you making me kiss his face I'm not kissing, what the fuck are you making me kiss again?
I'm not kissing it on the face.
Yes, you have to kiss it on the face.
That's the way you kiss things.
It's all right, Paul.
Don't think about it.
It's fine
it's dry
it's old
I'm going to be sick
of my fucking hands
let's just see
what my last two
would have been
I've got
Micro Machines
that's good
is that like
top down racing
yeah
and that would have been much less than Zelda so Micro Machines was like the that's a great game is that like top down racing yeah and that would have
been much less than Zelda
so Micro Machines
was like the original
Grand Theft Auto
no
I mean it's similar
in terms of look down
cars
but that's about all it is
it's more of a racing game
and then
Bugs Bunny
Lola Bunny
yeah
awful game
I believe that is a
it's just a crappy platformer
although I do have
a Tiny Toons game in there
which is really good
because it works
in a kind of Zelda-y way
I was going to say
are there any Warner Brothers
properties that make good games
like
yeah
Animaniacs
Looney Tunes
they all had decent stuff
it's hard to get
Looney Tunes right in a game
I had a game called
Duck Amok
for the DS
which is like a virtual pet
where you had Daffy Duck
and you could poke him
and annoy him
you know that kind of
I remember
when the pencil
the animator came out it's a bit like that but it was a video game and it's fun for about half him and annoy him you know that kind of I remember when the pencil the animator
came out
it's a bit like
that but it's a
video game
and it's fun
for about half
an hour
and then you
completely run
out of things
to do in that
game
so there you
go
and the final
game for Paul
should he have
swapped out
would have been
Tiger Woods
PGA Tour 2000
on the Game Boy
I don't know
but it's not as
fun as Mario Golf
which is a bit
more accessible
and that
ladies and
gentlemen
has been
Cheap Show
