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

** Also, Richard Ayoade
** Together, they are the Specky Nerdy Fucknuts!
* [[Annoying Laugh]]: Jimmy Carr, as frequently pointed out and ridiculed by the guests and Jimmy Carr himself.

* [[Camp
** And Louie Spence, to an inconceivable degree.
* [[Camp
** Russell Brand, of course.
*** [[Ho Yay|And then when he's in a team with Fielding...]]
* [[
** And Sharon Osbourne.
** Pretty much the stance every team will adopt when they don't know an answer.
** Richard Ayoade deserves special mention for the segment concerning his cold water problems which [[Up to Eleven|seemed to confuse even Noel Fielding...]]
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Shockingly averted with Gordon Ramsey's appearance.
* [[Deadpan
** Richard Ayoade in the 2010 edition.
** Interestingly David Mitchell in the Channel 4 Anniversary edition, but of course, he was teamed up with Richard.
*** 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.

{{quote|'''Jonathan Ross:''' ''(On the topic of George Michael's car crash)'' He didn't choose which shop to crash into. It's not like he was cruising up and down saying, 'Which one will it be tonight?'.
'''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.
* [[Guest
* [[Ho
** And Russell Brand and Christopher Biggins
*** And Russell and Peter Andre.

** Between David Cameron and Nick Clegg, apparently.

** Alan Carr and Jack Dee, after a while.

{{quote|'''David Mitchell''': The question was, "''can you name'' something Charlie Sheen claimed separated him from mere mortals?" So I could answer 'no' and get the point!}}

{{quote|'''Jimmy:''' Jonathan, what - those aren't your glasses.
'''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. }}

** And don't forget Michael Mcintyre and Alan Carr's attempt at this.
{{quote|'''Jimmy Carr:''' That would possibly be the ''campest'' walk out in history.}}
** 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.]]

** After Rob Brydon insulted Russell Brand's outfit:
{{quote|Rob! Why have you elected to attack my apparel? I have these appurtenances and I look grand, and fine, and pleasant. Whereas you look like you've robbed C & A in an 'urry.}}
** 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
