To be fair, the president was visiting a high school in February 2017 when he was asked
what his opinion was on pineapple as a topping on pizza. He said he was
totally against pineapples on pizzas (basically, just stating his personal preference like
we all have) and if he could he would ban it (jokingly, because the president
of Iceland doesn't have such power). Many tabloids totally took it out of
context; so much so the president said even if he would have the power to ban
it he would not do so.

Sadly, yet another case of the media blowing things way out of proportion.

@Steven Tebou nah, american late-night shows are definitely not worth it.

Please allow me to second that from my little corner of Japan. Over the past couple of years I've discovered these great shows, plus The Big Fat Quiz Of Everything, 8 Out Of Ten Cats, 8 Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Would I Lie To You?, etc...I haven't seen American TV in a long time, but I'm pretty sure the only shows worth watching are some of the late-night shows, with John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, Trevor Noah, etc...Thank you ViVaHD and YouTube!!

That pizza issue is another example of the media taking things way out of proportion. The president was visiting a high school in February 2017 when he was asked about his opinion about pineapple as a topping on pizza and he simply claimed he didn't like it and if he could he would ban it. Basically, trying to score a few points with the youngsters because we here in Iceland know the president doesn't have that power - and even if he did, we would ignore it ...and he has also stated that even if he did have such power to ban toppings on pizzas he wouldn't do so. As ludicrous as it sounds, he even apologized in a Canadian radio talk show for his joking comment ...but still, I'm just glad we don't have a moron for President (as the USA has - and we here in Iceland could have, because a self-proclaimed Trump fan ran against our President and only got 8% of the vote).

OMFG I can't stop laughing at the goalie being pushed over by the parent!!!!

ExEssex :

34:00 The parent successfully pushed the goalie into the path of the shot from the no. 8 but no. 14 snapped up the rebound. The whole sorry mess was caused by an appalling lapse in concentration by the goalie which was rightly punished by a goal to the opposition despite the dad's smart thinking.

ExEssex :

35:37 Merton applies Mitchell-like analysis to trash a silly story about a gecko. Mitchell's not sure whether to join in or defend the newspaper which printed it.

Edit. P.s. I liked Deborah but I did think some of her comments were OTT.

@LocutusOfSunnydale ok, maybe I missed a successful feminist appearance on a panel show. Can you point me to one?

@DM 00 That's not true or fair. One poor showing or guest panelist and it's always 'all of them'

Same story whenever they have a feminist on any panel show. They constantly try to shoehorn their sophomoric politics into the parlor game their meant to be playing and it's always death.

Goddamn that Madame Tussaud's idea would be a hell of a money maker if they implemented it.

I was imagining an entire museum of past and present world leaders you could kick in the fork. Of course the lower body would have to be made out of something more durable than wax, but you could still maintain the integrity of the trademark with waxwork heads and torsos.

You could also rent out steel toed shoes to augment the experience. or even sell them as mementos.

Add on interchangeable heads and you could franchise it to the rest of the world.

"When are men going to have a crisis of confidence?" I'm a man, and I have never been in charge of politics, or the environment, or darts. And I assume that applies to most men everywhere. I don't have a crisis of confidence because I don't view men OR women as just one homogeneous group with one unified agenda, like a crazy person would, but as individuals making individual choices. Therefore I do not feel personally responsible when some darts players fart during a match. Does that make me a terrible person and an enemy of women?

@Jonathan Pearce I can't even fathom where you learned that. Unless you provide distinction or some modifier, such as "most," "some" or "of a certain variety," "cars" becomes a general term referring to all cars. If I say "cars are petrol powered," it becomes an open invitation for someone to point out, "Not all cars," at which point I would have to equivocate, since some are electric.

And by that standard, Deborah's statements are horrifically generalized. I support true feminism-- equality -- but her words advocate female superiority. Truly cringe-worthy.

Jonathan Pearce

5y↑5

@Momon she didn't say "all men". She said "men". Which is accurate. The English language and classical logic: "Cars are petrol powered" is not the same as "all cars are petrol powered".

Momon

5y↑9

It's more "If I'm not involved, i'm not responsible". The people responsible for ruining politics and the environment are a very small group. Saying 'all men are ruining politics' is like saying 'all muslims are terrorists'. It's untrue and hurtful. Feminism has much better arguments to offer.

Maria Colls

It's funny how, unless I'm involved it doesn't happen, seems to be your logic.

They're not ovaries, they're not ears, they're very obviously uteruses. Weird that not one of 5 adults thought to point that out.

The sculptures all include ovaries. Someone did mention "ears", and the ovaries did look a bit like the ears on a jug. But you're right, any sensible person would describe these as sculptures of uteruses. Unless it's the ovaries that are objectionable for some cultural reason?

you know what I like best? the slide on the play-bar on the bottom of the screen, you can skip what you don't want to watch and even hit the mute button, too!

ExEssex :

I often use the left arrow to skip back 5 or 10 seconds to hear some witticism again or to check I heard right etc. I use the right arrow to skip forward past people I don't want to hear (none in this episode).

Deborah Frances-White really blew he chance of being a recurring guest by using her time to show she had an axe to grind against men. It might be her act, but there were so many other ways she could have tackled it; with sharp wit, like Steph McGovern, roll with the punches, like Victoria Coren Mitchell, or be extremely elegant in making the point like Jo Brand.

Deborah sadly, just came off as preachy and whiny.
She will not be missed.

@C Conroy Well yeah, those other people he mentioned are female comedians, not feminist comedians. Female comedians have to actually be funny, but feminist comedians just complain about men and then tell you that if you didn't find their lack of jokes hilarious then it's because sexism.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

Quick question - why does every panel show in Britain have exactly the same 10 or 12 people on?

Michael McCarthy

19:27 = Start of darts-flatulence question which lasts 4 mins 10 secs until 23:37. I think I'm not a typical Brit since I don't find flatulence, defecation, urination or regurgitation the slightest bit funny or interesting. I kept pressing the right arrow until I could see they were not talking about these matters any more. It took far too many presses to get past it, far too many...

I"m subscribing to this channel, there are a lot of sensible comments about the sad feminist on the panel. Misery is a Choice. like Veganism, but don't try to make everyone else hate their choices because you hate yours.

Mick Brady

33:10 how does a feminist not know the difference between an ovary and a uterus? In fact I cannot see any ovaries, I see fallopian tubes but no ovaries. It begs to wonder if the pregnancy was a result of IVF as there's no other way a woman would become pregnant without them.

Megan Lee

If you knew anything about anatomy, you would know that those sculptures show the uterus, the fallopian tubes, AND the ovaries. Don't speak on subjects about which you are ignorant.

I love David Mitchell's work, but this and the Now Show both need to gracefully bow out or bring in some truly new perspectives. The hosts are wasted, they're just reading other people's jokes. The "diversity" is just wealthy and connected white women offering second wave feminist commentary straight out of the 70s. It's boring and regressive on multiple levels.

Karin Barger

Ken Hymes may I ask why did you watch then? You don't care for this show you say. Or did you randomly come across it and clicked because David Mitchel was on? If so, I agree that he is definitely worth clicking for. I like the show, myself, and hope it keeps on for a long time.
