British [[Panel Game]] based around pop music, named after the [[Pop Punk]] band [[
The show debuted in 1996. Mark Lamarr was the original host, and after his departure there were a series of temporary hosts, including Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs and Jeremy Clarkson from ''[[Top Gear]]'' before Simon Amstell took over until 2009. Previous team captains were Sean Hughes (Series 1-10) and Bill Bailey (Series 11-21), each time taking the opposing side to Phill Jupitus.
Line 48:
** Lauren Laverne came across as this on her appearence, first insisting that [[David Bowie]] was violently pursued by Avon ladies and then, when trying to figure out some indecipherable lyrics, came out with 'He's relating bananas to rock bands... from the seventies. It's just a thought...'
** Rick Wakeman of [[Yes]], especially when he and Bill Bailey do a live Intros round. In wizard outfits.
** [[The Goodies
** Bernard Cribbins on the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode.
*** "I like prawns, they're nice."
Line 74:
* [[The Ditz]]: Tony Wright from ''Terrorvision'' came across as this, especially in his second appearance. Notably Phill and even Mark seemed to find his inability to remember the letters of the alphabet more adorable than mockable.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Along with whatever the hell was going on with Mark's hair, the first few episodes featured ''four'' songs in the Intros round for each team.
* [[Fun
* [[Foil]]: Everyone for everyone else.
* [[Freudian Slip]]
Line 86:
* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Often used in the ID Parade game when nobody has a clue, such as "It'll be the one who's wearing the maddest shoes!" Sometimes Phill or Bill will have an informed opinion but will keep quiet at first and let their guests come up with this stuff just for humour value.
* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]: The title of the show - a pun on the band '[[[[
* [[Long List]]: Of things [[The Smiths|Morrissey]] [[The Eeyore|apparently hates]], and [[All of Them|what should have won "Best Song of the Last 25 Years" over Robbie Williams' "Angels"]], among others.
* [[Malicious Slander]]: Parodied with Mark's "Wicked Whispers" running joke, where he gives 'shocking celebrity facts' such as a rumour that [[Elton John]] may be gay.
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: Parodied. Mark claims all of Phill's impressions consist of saying that celebrity's catchphrase (e.g., "Ooh Betty" for [[Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em|Frank Spencer]]) in the same throaty Bernard Manning voice.
** Phill does, however, do a ''startlingly'' good [[Star Wars|Chewbacca]] impression.
** This was also used when Bobby Davro was a guest -- all his impressions were incredibly cliche ones predating [[The Nineties]].
Line 140:
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: A big portion of the show's jokes are about the poor quality of the jokes and guests.
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: Phill was involved with the left-wing music and comedy movement Red Wedge, which campaigned against [[Margaret Thatcher]]'s re-election in 1987; a tie-in NMTB book claimed that it was single-handedly responsible for her remaining in power.
* [[Stalker
