{{quote|''Hello, I'm John Sergeant, and welcome to'' Argumental, ''the show where the hottest names in comedy debate the biggest issues facing mankind. Is air travel viable?

''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 Onon the Tin|arguing]] about current events, celebrities, culture, and anything else the host throws at them.
 
The show was hosted for three series by noted journalist and [[Strictly Come Dancing|dance legend]] [[John Sergeant]], with [[Marcus Brigstocke]] as the red team captain and [[Rufus Hound]] as the blue team captain. From the fourth series on, [[Sean Lock]] is the host, with captains [[Seann Walsh]] and [[Robert Webb]].
Line 39:
** And there was Kieran the stripper in a fourth-series episode. Not only that, but he motivated [[Jack Whitehall]] to drop trou as well.
** Rufus removed his shirt on one occasion to show his tattoos to everyone.
* [[Right for Thethe Wrong Reasons]]: The basis of some arguments, particularly ones the panelists are loath to support literally, such as the idea that bankers are doing a great job. Marcus argued that the actual day-to-day job of going to work, losing millions of pounds of other people's money, and then getting massive raises funded by other people's money, is in fact a great job, and bankers are doing that job.
** Also sometimes the basis for the audience's votes.
* [[Show Stopper]]: Marcus and Rufus performed a spontaneous musical version of ''Argumental'' during an argument about whether or not musicals are rubbish.
