''Argumental'' (2008-) is a British [[Panel Game|Panel Show]] in its fourth series (as of 2012). The show features two teams each of a permanent captain and a guest [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|arguing]] about current events, celebrities, culture, and anything else the host throws at them.
Line 18:
** He stated that the energy crisis can be solved with zoo animals running in giant hamster wheels.
** Part of his argument that December is better than July hinged on the fact that he can keep beer cold in his garden in December, whereas it would be hot in July. This led to him informing everyone that he keeps his beer in his garden [[Insane Troll Logic|because his fridge is full of blood plasma for children's operations]].
* [[Cool Old Guy]] / [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!]]: John Sergeant, whose autocue remarks are often laced with double entendres and written to make him sound like a sexagenarian party animal with loose morals.
* [[Corpsing]]: Occasionally the opposing team will have a sincere laugh during an argument, either by the arguer's design or by accident.
** Or during their own teammate's argument. [[Funny Background Event|Don't say "gunt" in front of]] [[Phill Jupitus]].
