With many thanks from Japan. I look forward to this, Q.I. and Mock The Week every week.

Guðni Th. Jóhannesson was at a school when he was asked if he liked pineapple on pizza. He jokingly said no and that it should be banned. The local tabloid press made it out that he said he was going to ban it. Afterwards he did say that he could not ban it and that he was glad that he couldn't. A free press is a wonderful thing, sort of.

Yes, big thanks. Rewatching as there are always great bits I missed first go round.

Thanks for posting

Amazing how much of this turned out to be true a couple of years later...... Loved it!

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you SO much. I love this show!

“Pineapple on pizza”..... Yes, it’s a great Aussie topping!!!!!! Best wishes from Australia.

Cheers. I needed a giggle.

Milk, bread, onions, cabbage ... DAMN IT! Forgot the bloody grenades again!

THanks.

25:04 - David's face is wonderful here...

you know what I like best? the slide on the play-bar on the bottom of the screen, you can skip what you don't want to watch and even hit the mute button, too!

That pizza issue is another example of the media taking things way out of proportion. The president was visiting a high school in February 2017 when he was asked about his opinion about pineapple as a topping on pizza and he simply claimed he didn't like it and if he could he would ban it. Basically, trying to score a few points with the youngsters because we here in Iceland know the president doesn't have that power - and even if he did, we would ignore it ...and he has also stated that even if he did have such power to ban toppings on pizzas he wouldn't do so. As ludicrous as it sounds, he even apologized in a Canadian radio talk show for his joking comment ...but still, I'm just glad we don't have a moron for President (as the USA has - and we here in Iceland could have, because a self-proclaimed Trump fan ran against our President and only got 8% of the vote).

This is fun to watch in 2023.

_P-ham-olives And-capers-on_ a double stuffed crust.

Had to check what a Mars bar was, just to be sure. Here in the U.S. it is known as the Milky Way bar, I thought I remembered there being a difference. You know, like Boot vs Trunk, Pants (underwear) vs. Pants (called trousers over there), jelly vs Jell-O, aluminium vs aluminum, that kind of thing.

it was "Rake america great again" week

Wonder if Paul and Andy conferred when choosing their shirts ;)

They're not ovaries, they're not ears, they're very obviously uteruses. Weird that not one of 5 adults thought to point that out.

today on ReWatch : DFW. no, not Dallas-Fort Worth. even with the mute button, I just can't.

At 32:30, the man to Trump's left is (outgoing) California Governor Jerry Brown, who has been a very vocal critic of Trump.

Goddamn that Madame Tussaud's idea would be a hell of a money maker if they implemented it.

HIGNFY got a shoutout on PMQ today LOL

If you write your letter on a lap top and mailed it did your lap top fit in the post box?

"Men have ruined politics"... As a woman I can tell you we've been quite good at cocking it up too! Edit. P.s. I liked Deborah but I did think some of her comments were OTT.

And then came Boris, Liz and now Rishi🤣🤣🤣

does paul merton start the week wearing 7 shirts

OMFG I can't stop laughing at the goalie being pushed over by the parent!!!!

Those statues are clearly wombs not ovaries! How did noone on the show pick that up? Babies-wombs, eggs-ovaries.

35:37 Merton applies Mitchell-like analysis to trash a silly story about a gecko. Mitchell's not sure whether to join in or defend the newspaper which printed it.

Not an ovary, that's a uterus. Most would recognise it when shown the picture even as anyone could forget the particulars of the story

Ban pineapple on pizza? But eating rotten shark is ok? :-)

Her name is not Pameler Randerson

Wikileaks weirdo? I love how we made the guy who let us into the dirty side of government, the bad guy…

31.20... growing up in California I spent two years with the California conservation corps raking the forest in California to prevent forest fires the state of California ended this program because they couldn't afford it

Guess it's satisfying to whinge and wag one's finger at the world, Lady Frances-White: but you'll never sway anyone with your condescension.

I... honestly did not expect that story on gay porn. o_o

You obviously fart while throwing the dart. Therefore making your opponent stand still taking their shot within the epicentre of the guff. Also is ham and pineapple not a pizza in the UK?

There is no r between Pamela and Anderson

oooooooooooooooooooooooh. women dont fart. theressa may is in charge of politics

Deborah Frances-White really blew he chance of being a recurring guest by using her time to show she had an axe to grind against men. It might be her act, but there were so many other ways she could have tackled it; with sharp wit, like Steph McGovern, roll with the punches, like Victoria Coren Mitchell, or be extremely elegant in making the point like Jo Brand. Deborah sadly, just came off as preachy and whiny. She will not be missed.

imagine you'd have to say "well I'm a feminist" before every sentence.. that would be exhausting...

"Men have been in charge of everything, and it's all awful". "Well reasoned. There are lots of terrific female guests. Too bad about this

That Sheila was raised in Australia, and when she dropped the facade she sounded like an Australian. So that accent as an English toff is just crap.

Those aren't ovaries. That's the womb. Do these people not know anatomy?

Was Deborah Frances-white once a man?

19:27 = Start of darts-flatulence question which lasts 4 mins 10 secs until 23:37. I think I'm not a typical Brit since I don't find flatulence, defecation, urination or regurgitation the slightest bit funny or interesting. I kept pressing the right arrow until I could see they were not talking about these matters any more. It took far too many presses to get past it, far too many...

Never heard of Deborah Frances-White, but what a dreary whiner...

yea like women dont fart, grow up

I think k the woman is a feminist

I"m subscribing to this channel, there are a lot of sensible comments about the sad feminist on the panel. Misery is a Choice. like Veganism, but don't try to make everyone else hate their choices because you hate yours.

Please make her go away

33:10 how does a feminist not know the difference between an ovary and a uterus? In fact I cannot see any ovaries, I see fallopian tubes but no ovaries. It begs to wonder if the pregnancy was a result of IVF as there's no other way a woman would become pregnant without them.

Did I just hear David Mitchell call Julian Assange a nut case? Wow. That's hugely disappointing.

Lots of Uncomfortable Men decrying Deborah down in the comments. I'm a man, and I thought she was hilarious.

Oh man, I get it, you have feminist politics

What a SAD woman is that Deborah Frances-White! A jokey question about darts turns into a diatribe against men in politics.That was both weird and unintelligent.Noticed who the PM is yet Ms Deborah? One podcast to be avoided like the plague.

What a horrible woman.

I like that woman, however, breasts are not sex organs

Nothing worst than feminist in comedy show ...

Oh, that poor young woman...you gotta learn to finesse humor, not use a blunt axe. Secondhand embarrassment.

Yeah we need more women PM's. Like Thatcher and May.

That woman was boring. One tune from her right the way thru. 💤

Here's an idea. The people voted to leave the EU and reclaim British sovereignty. Leave.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

I love David Mitchell's work, but this and the Now Show both need to gracefully bow out or bring in some truly new perspectives. The hosts are wasted, they're just reading other people's jokes. The "diversity" is just wealthy and connected white women offering second wave feminist commentary straight out of the 70s. It's boring and regressive on multiple levels.
