Never Mind the Buzzcocks/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The title of the show. Think about it. The Sex Pistols, Nirvana and The Buzzcocks mashed together and pumped full of sarcasm and satire.
  • Every single time a celebrity, either present or absent, is insulted through implication.
  • Lamarr rapping a Busta Rhymes song in season 4. Brilliantly.
  • The blase attitude held by every single person on the show after Preston walked out, and the simplicity with with Bill finds a replacment from the audience.
    • Even better, at the end of the subsequent week's show, he hands out lollipops to all the guests for "staying until the end".
  • The intros round can lead to some pretty awesome re-imaginings of pop songs.
    • As can Indecipherable Lyrics. Sometimes their joke suggestion is so good that every other time you hear the song in question, you'll hear their Mondegreen lyrics instead of the real ones.
  • Every last one of Noel's outfits could count.
  • Every bitchy exchange between Noel and Simon could count as a CMOA for both parties. Example:

Noel Fielding: Don't make me cut the stuffing out of your pillow.
Simon Amstell: (sarcastically) With a pair of scissors made of glitter?
Noel Fielding: No, with a motorbike made of jealousy!

Noel Fielding: She would snap you like a twig.
Simon Amstell: Yes, or kill me and make it look like suicide...

    • Topped off by Noel's look of shock and the disclaimer appearing on the bottom of the screen reading "SIMON AMSTELL IS DEFINITELY WRONG."
  • After appearing on the show, Chris Moyle complained in the press about how hostile and unwelcoming everyone on Buzzcocks was towards him. How did Lamarr get back at him? By calling him a c*nt before handing out pillows, cakes and tea to prove that he was nice to his guests.
  • Bill Bailey, who is usually fairly whimsical and inoffensive giving his thoughts on Loose Women:

Bill: Oh God, I hate those bitches.

  • Another Bill moment, calling out loud-mouthed noggin Donny Tourette:

Donny: (Making 'wanker' hand gesture) You look like one of them, mate.
Bill: What, a hand?

  • In the episode where Jeremy Clarkson guest-hosts. Going into the Next Lines round, the team of Phil Jupitus, Trica and Anthony Costa has three points. Halfway through, Phil Jupitus walked off set leaving Anthony Costa to answer questions (with Trica helping). Their final score? Twelve.
  • The Terry Wogan hosted episode. Enough said.
