1. Nobody went with King Kong? I'm astonished.

2. Dw Maanuv, I also thought f***er first

3. Sully, Jon, Dom, Tom, Laurie, Blair and Tilly 🙂

4. For some reason I lost my shit at, I've ordered the meal, I'd prefer you didn't even fucking look at it

5. I love ones like this that you can play along. I so nearly won the second round.

6. Some planned obsolescence with light bulbs, but for the most part, it's about operating cost, luminosity, material expense, and to a lesser degree, controlling the amount of heat put off. "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long". The centennial light may still be operating today, but at 0.17 lumens using 60 watts, it's practically useless AND still a huge power draw (it might have also been originally a 30 watt). For comparison, an LED bulb that might only last 3-5 years still runs you 800 lumens at 10 watts.

   If we say that 10 watts costs about $0.25 to run 1/5th of the year (say in a kitchen), you get 0.078 lumens/dollar/year from centennial bulb, and 3200 lumens/dollar/year from the LED bulb. The centennial bulb adjusted for inflation cost $13, while a cheap LED bulb cost $3-5 USD.

   This isn't to say that there isn't fuckery with the light bulb market – in today's market, they could potentially increase the quality and the price, but they don't make as much money. They aren't purposefully lowering the quality so much as purposefully not raising it – higher tolerances, better diodes would increase the lifetime, but the increase in production costs would be more than the increased price they'd be able to sell them at. So, they choose not to. Historically, there was more blatant fuckery with lowering the lifetimes by using materials that weren't well suited, but were cheap.

7. I find Manuuv insufferable. Dom is…. Dom is…… No I can't say it. Dom please let me go.

8. Rosie's a national treasure 😛

9. Sully is so right with the grades vs sport question. Not only do you need to be better than good at sports to make a living, you also need to be so in a very specific sport. Like football, american or not, baseball, maybe hockey in some countries, and that's about it. Any other sports you need some work on the side to pay the bills.

10. cant find this game for sale anywhere 🙁

11. Whoa vs Woah is actually an age thing. It's been Whoa for years, but then Woah came into popularity fairly recently, and is more frequent the younger you get. The vast majority of 40+ people will use Whoa, the vast majority of teenagers and kids will use Woah, and the rates vary more in the middle.

12. 13:57 – I feel like people who went dessert definitely knows you share a cheeseboard, even if I was definitely at camp appetizer.

    Also Dom is delightfully sinister! More please!

13. As a European I think South America with the Amazon rainforests is very good contestant for the continent with the best animals like anaconda, piranha, jaguar, tapir, and all sorts of insects. But Africa has probably more interesting mammals like elephants, lions, rhinoceroses, cheetahs, gorillas, hippopotamuses, etc. There used to Asiatic lions in the Middle East, but the humans didn't get along well with them.

14. Me when Donald Trump: 2:03

15. Dom is always my favourite

16. Gone back to start and watching every BGC with dom im and only dom ones cause dom is the dom!

17. A clip to introduce two NRB members in a span of 10 seconds: 19:35

    Rosie: "It's good to know how to relate to other people in a team setting. :)"
    Dom: uncontrollable laughter

18. I nearly died when I said "Watch someone write f$%cker" for the Mother (blank) one.

19. people will always remember those with courage! no one remembers people like tolkien or pratchett who had fantastic imaginations, we will only ever remember those couragous people!

20. 'National'-ise British Rail.

21. Btw a king rat is when you throw a bunch of them into a deep hole and they eat eachother. the survivor is the king rat or Ratking

22. Australia isn't a continent

23. I too, thought king rat. Lol

24. For some reason I wrote king leer

25. This game must have been made by a Catholic. lol

26. i played along at home – i got 3 points… second game 7 points finished on green team

27. long noodles are as long as short pasta as you break long noodles into 3 parts to fit it in the pan. its the law! so one answer is the other. as for sully there is a solution. SHAVE and you will never have it in your beard. dom they also have seesdless watermelons. never having to sleep means more water usage more food that needds to be eaten to stay fit all night electricity needs. cost of living will go up so much. by the time you have to fire your best friend your most likely at the top or near the top of a multi bilionare company so give hime a golden hand and sentd them to retirement

28. how did no one thing of the three musketeers ? 🙁

29. King Rat is a great book.

30. In fairness Mother Fucker was absolutely my go to

31. I want to be one of dom’s piglets

32. They missed out on an amazing joke about the Dom Sub

33. I can’t believe anyone thinks pomegranate seeds are the most annoying lmao. Isn’t that the only bit we eat?

34. I thought King Kong..

35. Blue beret??? Lol

36. With a train it won't be yours. If it was my private vessel I would much prefer the ocean.

    I suppose they're probably scarred from having to cross the channel on boats.

37. Australia is not a continent, that would have tripped me baaad

38. On the light bulb thing they were talking about at 23:42 or so, that's not entirely true. Lifetime lightbulbs is inversely proportional to how bright they are. While you can make a lightbulb that lasts 100+ years, it will extremely dim and not useful to light up a room.

39. I guess my life is on orange team

40. Come here little piglet made me laugh so hard i forgot to breath and gave me a headache.

41. I'm…for the degree question, I have to say there is a correct answer. See, I have a theatre degree, and honestly of the three I'd say it's the middle. The exercises I learned to do have been the most useful part, but I only say that because water and food hate me, no matter what pace I consume them at, and being able to locate different points in your throat has helped me essentially calm down and not strangle or drown myself at dinner probably over 100 times now. When you look for work in acting, they'll see your little degree, rip it into confetti, and ask for your portfolio and demo reel. If they like those, maybe they'll fire your degree confetti into the air in celebration and call you in to audition.

    Fine arts I would imagine is the exact same. They ask for examples of your work, and they'll ask for "audition" samples made to match what they will expect you to make. Fine arts also tend to be solo efforts, so I'd say this one is probably the least useful, and by that I mean the one you could get to the level of without schooling the easiest.

    Music, however, is different. And that's because music is often a collaborative effort. Yes, they want your demo reel to hear how you play whatever it is you play, but at least that degree also says to them that you've been in several different situations in your field, know how everything works, and have succeeded at applying your musical abilities in a group setting. Because that degree is all they really have to know you can perform well in a large group, because the only other thing they could use is like a video of an orchestra playing that you're in where the music doesn't sound atrocious.

42. [spoiler]i think all of them have never heard of Fatal Familial Insomnia, which is a disorder wherein you slowly lose the ability to sleep and upon your diagnosis of insomnia, you have a ticking time-bomb of a certain death, along with any and all the heartaches of zero REM sleep for the rest of your life[/spoiler]

43. Obviously, Rosie was referencing Queen's 'Great King Rat', the third song off their first album!

    I can't believe that any true Brit and/or Queen fan would not understand this reference. 😤 (This is sarcasm. Calm down, please.)

44. Blueberries is the tory choice? Not strawberries?

    Maybe blueberries are rarer in england.

45. Dom is my favorite.

46. way to go dom

47. if it was a British game, the correct answer for Syrup is Treacle.

48. "Who would you rather fire – you or your best friend". Unfortunate question to ask in the end.

49. "Great King Rat", a song by Queen.
