An annual British event and comedy show which has appeared every year since 2004 (2007 also had a variant, the Big Fat Anniversary Quiz, celebrating 25 years of Channel 4). Hosted by Jimmy Carr, it takes the form of a pub quiz on the events of the year, with three teams of two celebrities as the contestants. [[Jonathan Ross]] (whose production company makes the programme) is a regular contestant;<ref>The exception being 2008 on account of his involvement in the Sachsgate scandal</ref> the other guests change every year, but the more regular ones include [[David Mitchell]], Rob Brydon, [[Little Britain|David Walliams]], [[Russell Brand]] and [[Noel Fielding]].
Several editions are available on Youtube [http://www.youtube.com/show?p=xrV-7mXhVcc&s=1 here]

{{quote|

* [[Camp Gay]]: Alan Carr, as is the norm for him.
** And Louie Spence, to an inconceivable degree.
Line 24:

* [[Cluster F
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
** Richard Ayoade in the 2010 edition.
Line 30:
*** It's weird because in at the next quiz, the 2007 edition, he was all in for winning and no sarcastic answers, but it was all because he was teamed up with Rob Brydon.
* [[Double Entendre]]:
{{quote|
'''Jimmy Carr:''' I think you'll find he definitely was saying, 'Which one will it be tonight?'. }}
* [[Golden Snitch]]: Played for laughs in the 2006 edition, when Jimmy gave Noel and Russell 22 points for a single question, the amount they needed to stand a chance of winning.

{{quote|
** Invoked by [[Jonathan Ross]]
{{quote|
'''Jonathan:''' What you're looking at here is a masterclass in quiz psychology. When they look over here now, they see a movie star ''[points at [[Russell Brand]]]'' and a scientist.
'''David Mitchell:''' I can tell there is no glass in those glasses. }}
* [[The Points Mean Nothing]]: An opinion adopted by the aforementioned [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cloud Cuckoo Landers]].
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: The children of Mitchell Brook Primary School, and their topical plays.
* [[Running Gag]]: A whole host of new ones are started every year, such as making references to Russell and [[Jonathan Ross|Wossy's]] involvement in the Andrew Sachs Scandal.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: David Walliams joked(?) about this whenever a round didn't go in his favour.
** And don't forget Michael Mcintyre and Alan Carr's attempt at this.
{{quote|
** Richard Ayoade walked halfway out of the show, but that was not due to any sort of annoyance, it was just [[Cloudcuckoolander|him being weird.]]
* [[Serious Business]]: Following the incident in [[Golden Snitch]] above, Rob Brydon and David Walliams took great offense at Brand and Fielding "winning".
Line 70:
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Frequently.
** After Rob Brydon insulted Russell Brand's outfit:
{{quote|
** It's also common to have high-brow presenters reading from or describing something low-brow, such as Dr David Starkey describing [[The X Factor|Jedward]] as if they were a medieval legend, Sir [[Ian McKellen]] reading nonsensical passages from the "auto"biographies of minor celebrities, and Jon Snow describing the events of a song ("It transpired that she was just 'bluffing with her muffin'... witnesses later described her expression as 'unreadable'") as if was a news story..
* [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: When a question, the answer to which was 'Giant German Rabbit', was asked, Noel and Russell were the only ones to get a point, due to their paying attention to silly news stories.
