The Winkle virus annoying right from the off. The older Ross gets the younger he dresses - Another ten years and he'll be in a romper suit. Him and Jimmy are good friends - Do they dye each others hair I wonder...
...

Mitchell becomes less funny the more you see of him. How long before he gets shouty?
Mel Giedroyc is starting to get on my tits, watching her is like watching an aunt who think she's "down with the kids" and way funnier than she actually is somehow making it onto a publicly broadcast panel show.
agreed with all these point - plus i hate woss.... hes like a naughty child. as for mitchel.... 'knob'.... oh how i laughed and laughed.... NOT. ffs 'knob' jokes from someone whos supposed to be one of our current comedy greats?... this is infantile, junior school material... horrible histories is much funnier and that IS for kids.

Got destroyed in the ratings - 0.73m. I don't see there being another series after this one but I guess the seasonal specials will still continue.

She's better known for having been a recurring character in both 30 Rock and Flight of the Conchords.
Not heard of either of those either

If you have kids, you might have heard her as "Mabel" on Disney's animated show 'Gravity Falls'. She also hosted Buzzcocks a couple of years ago. She has a very distinctive voice, not unlike Yeardley Smith who voices Lisa Simpson. I can see how her voice might annoy people.
I really need to watch more tv. I am none the wiser after all the help

Boring. Even Bob Mortimer couldn't lift it from the doldrums.

I'm in the minority, I really enjoyed it. Claudia doing Alanis had me laughing out loud.

Her IMDB profile is very long but much of it is either US and/or Animation. I would definitely recommend Flight of the Conchords though if you've never heard of it.

In fact I think it started life as a Radio 4 Comedy I have the BBC CD's

I thought all the panellists made a good contribution, except Mel who is consistently unfunny on everything she's in.

Surprised no one has mentioned Bob's Burgers. A very funny cartoon that airs on E4.

agreed with all these point - plus i hate woss.... hes like a naughty child. as for mitchel.... 'knob'.... oh how i laughed and laughed.... NOT. ffs 'knob' jokes from someone whos supposed to be one of our current comedy greats?... this is infantile, junior school material... horrible histories is much funnier and that IS for kids.
He made 1 knob joke at the start of the show. Even smart comedians can be juvenile. It really wasn't a big deal.

I'm surprised that people take a show called Big Fat Quiz so seriously. Especially when it's known for being rather childish.

What an annoying voice And who is she
American actress most recently seen in Last Man on Earth on Dave.
Thanks but still have no clue
Look on YouTube for "Kristin Schaal is a horse" and you'll experience something that could be described as "divisive comedy."

Less than 10 minutes to Episode 2.

Looking forward to all the negative comments about Noel Fielding

I used to love these types of panel shows.

Not sure if they've got worse or I've just got bored of them, but I don't find them that funny anymore.

I'm actually really enjoying it this week, much moreso than last week.

Richard Ayoade kicking off about Rob Beckett stealing his tray of malteasers got huge laughs here, and then the comment about Rob Beckett looking similar to Biff from Back To The Future, right down to his jacket was just so funny

Agree that it's something I would have enjoyed 20 years ago or more

maybe another sign of aging is that I think the best bit is the kids doing the play.......

I do like Aisling though.......and Rob

No idea who the bloke with Rossy is

Rossy is OK

Richard was good on IT Crowd but he's useless of these panel shows and I've never 'got' Noel Fielding

One of Beckett's own gags from 8/10 Cats IIRC.

And she's genuinely funny too.

Got to be one of the best comediennes around.

Hasn't been anywhere near as funny as in past shows. Fielding and Ayoade can always be relied upon to liven things up otherwise it would be a bit tedious with the remaining panelists. Jonathan Ross hasn't performed well in both shows to date.

Preferred last week. Richard and Noel (particularly together) are only good in small doses for me nowadays, and that was too big a dose.

I can take her or leave her comedy-wise, but she's quite cute...

To be honest, I don't think she's gut burstingly hilarious (or at least not from what I've seen so far), but there are so many comediennes out there that whilst likeable aren't really that funny (Sara Pascoe, Chelsea Peretti, Kristen Schaal). And though I do think Jo Brand can be genuinely funny. I've gotten a bit weary of all the jokes about her husband, so I think of all the comediennes out there, Aisling Bea is probably the one I'd be most "alright" with going to see live, I mean she did have some genuinely laugh-worthy moments on the show tonight, in my opinion at least.
