'''Simon''': Well, I'm not an expert...<br />
'''Phil Jupitus''': There's nothing quite like the TV stylings of two homosexuals talking about fannies... }}
* From the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''-themed special, the following pair of anecdotes read after the first round:
{{quote| '''David Tennant:''' McFly's song contained the lyrics "Nothing on Earth could save us when I fell in love with Uranus," which, as it happens, was a line removed from the pilot episode of ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]''. ''[shakes fist]'' [[John Barrowman|Barrowman!]] ''[growls]'' Dougie once received a thong in the post that had "Turn your erection in my direction" written on it. ''[shakes fist]'' Barrowman!}}
** Not to mention when Tennant begins to read out a joke about Kylie Minogue's favourite bra selling for six grand on eBay, and Bernard Cribbins immediately asks "D'you wanna see it?" before he can get to the punchline. (Tennant then says that Cribbins' ad-lib was funnier than the scripted punchline.) Indeed, Cribbins' [[Deadpan Snarker|Deadpan Snarkery]] prompted Noel to suggest that he should come and write for ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]''.
** Or Catherine Tate flailing to remember the name of a Kylie Minogue song during the Intros Round, or her panicked guess at the lyrics to Bowie's song "Space Oddity" during "Next Lines" -- "Ground Control to Major Tom....something about the cigarettes...do something with your haiiiiiiir....."
Line 63:
'''Meat Loaf:''' "Oh burn burn burn in the ring of fire went down down down!" }}
* Sir Terry Wogan's impersonation of [[The X Factor|Louis Walsh]]. Noel Fielding then commented that he couldn't get over the hilarity of it.
* In the Intros round of the [[Lee Mack]]-hosted episode of Series 24, Phill sang the opening guitar riff to Blur's "Country House", and Lee immediately interrupted by singing "Batman!" (the aforementioned riff sounding uncannily like the guitar riff from the theme to the ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' television series); Phill then made a second attempt after extracting a promise that Lee wouldn't sabotage the opening again, and this time Lee led the ''entire audience'' in a chorus of "Batman!" He insisted that twice was enough and three times would be overdoing the joke, but after Phill sang the opening riff for the third time, he stopped and glared at Lee, who simply shrugged innocently... and then a random audience member yelled [[Rule of Three|"Batman!"]]
{{quote| '''Noel:''' Lee, that was my fault, I put the Riddler on the guest list!}}
* One episode involves Jack Dee (as guest host) and Jedward (as Noel's guests). [[Hilarity Ensues]], at one point leading Phil Jupitus to tell Jedward "...in terms of this show, you do make Dappy look like Stephen Fry."
