Big Fat Quiz of the Year	comment	An annual British event and comedy show which has appeared every year since 2004, taking the form of a pub quiz on the events of the year, with three teams of two celebrities as the contestants. 2007 also had a variant in the Big Fat Anniversary Quiz to celebrate 25 years of Channel 4, and in 2012 three specials focusing on The '80s, The '90s and The Noughties were made; two more Eighties and Nineties themed specials were also shown in 2013, and an edition celebrating the tenth anniversary of the format was made alongside the 2014 edition. A general knowledge special, entitled Big Fat Quiz of Everything, aired in early 2016; it spawned a three-part spin-off series later that year and another annual tradition, with new versions airing in January 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021. The Big Fat Quiz of the Decade was based on The New '10s and aired in January 2020.Every edition has been hosted by Jimmy Carr. Jonathan Ross (whose production company makes the programme) was a regular contestant until 2013;note The exception being 2008 on account of his involvement in the Sachsgate scandal other frequent guests include David Mitchell, Rob Brydon, Russell Brand, Richard Ayoade, Noel Fielding, Jack Whitehall and Claudia Winkleman.Several editions are available on YouTube here.

This was Richard and Noel's answer. Even the extremely deadpan Richard dissolved into laughter at the exasperated look on Jimmy's face. Romesh Ranganathan managed to make this joke without even saying 'your mum'.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_2d4a6d8c	type	Sophisticated as Hell
Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_2d4a6d8c	comment	Sophisticated as Hell: Frequently. After Rob Brydon insulted Russell Brand's outfit: It's also common to have high-brow presenters reading from or describing something low-brow, such as Dr David Starkey describing Jedward as if they were a medieval legend, Sir Ian McKellen or Charles Dance reading nonsensical passages from the "auto"biographies of minor celebrities, and Jon Snow describing the events of a song ("It transpired that she was just 'bluffing with her muffin'... witnesses later described her expression as 'unreadable'") as if it was a news story. Peter Andre referred to The Da Vinci Code as "highbrow literature" without an ounce of irony (and what's more, then proceeded to ask the panelists a question about the film version). Noel Fielding was astounded at this and had a truly awesome reply when Jimmy asked if any of them had read it: "Get fucked." The 2012 edition featured Charles Dance reading excerpts of Fifty Shades of Grey. Jack Whitehall and James Corden wore suits in the 2012 edition. Their response to the others mocking their suits? "It's a black-tie event. We aren't the ones who look like dicks." Similarly, they later pull out a bottle of wine and enjoy it with pizza. When they start singing "Call Me Maybe" (while still eating pizza), Russell Howard describes them as 'a couple of fucking lords rocking out the Pizza Hut'.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_308a5ff0	type	Strange Minds Think Alike
Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_308a5ff0	comment	Strange Minds Think Alike: This moment from the 2009 Quiz. Elsewhere in the 2009 quiz, as a response to a question about why a particular cat was internet famousnote it was keyboard cat, David and Claudia put down "Santa Paws" and Jonathan and Russell wrote "Santa Claws", on account of the fact that the cat was wearing a Santa hat in the picture they were shown (although Jimmy did tell them that the hat had nothing to do with the cat's fame). In the 2010 quiz, Jimmy asked why a woman named Anna Chapman was in the news. Two teams jokingly answered that she was The Stig. There's another Call-Back related one in the 2015 quiz. Jimmy asks what song Tyson Fury sang to his wife after he won the title fight, and he gets two responses of "Shout" by Tears for Fears. Earlier in the show, Greg had been raving about how good Richard's impression of Roland Orzabal was, and Richard had demonstrated by singing that song. In 2016, for the question "What motivational phrase did Claudio Ranieri use for his team?"note He would pretend to ring a bell, all three teams put a variant of the same Captain Obvious joke. Particularly similar are "Win please" and "Please don't lose", with the third being "Kick it in the goal". In the BFQ of Everything 2016, Jimmy jokes that the people in a clip they just saw were Richard's classmates. Noel immediately exclaims "Fuck you, Jimmy", because he'd just finished writing that it was Richard's birthday party. In Everything 2017, Jimmy asks what body part is the same length as one's forearm. One team immediately clarifies that he must mean, like, besides the other arm. When the answers are revealed, a different team had written "the other arm" as their answer, as they had been distracted and missed the confirmation that yes, the question did mean besides the other arm. In the 2012 quiz, a question comes up of what Obama admitted to sometimes putting on in the Oval Office. Jonathan remarks, while everyone is already writing their answers, that Obama probably couldn't have used it as a masturbatorium. Then it comes time to reveal Jack and James' answer ... (See Refuge in Audacity, above) Inverted in Everything 2016. At first Noel comments that he and Chelsea Peretti went for similar answers on a question about what a man was claiming to be able to do in a video clip of him speaking oddly; Chelsea wrote "Give an auction for a blowjob while giving a blowjob" and Noel had put "Auction/Stop erections". Chelsea remarks that they're more like opposite answers. In the Big Fat Quiz of the 80â€™s, when the teams are asked â€œWho Shot JR?, both Jason Manford/ Stephen Mangan and Jonathan Ross/ Adam Buxton put down Maggie Simpson as a gag answer.

Although David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker's team name was Ignorance & Want, after a few rounds, Jimmy started to call them the Civil Partnership instead.

Not only did they get that question right, they won the show that year as well. During the 2012 quiz, Richard Ayoade wrote "first singer in space" in response to a question about an announcement that Sarah Brightman made that year. Gabby Logan was shocked to discover that he was correct, given that it was no less absurd than the joke answers he had been supplying for the rest of the quiz.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_60eac4ba	type	Off the Rails
Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_60eac4ba	comment	Off the Rails: Panel shows often get lost, but on this show, there tends to be at least one team whose goal is to defy the format as much as possible. Noel Fielding and Russel Brand in particular do this, frequently trying to rebel against Jimmy's authority and set up communism. Special mention goes to David Walliams and Miranda Hart from the 2011 quiz, who didn't attempt to correctly answer a single question and currently hold the record for lowest score across any quiz, with four points. Of course there's been plenty of other causes, like the time Mel Giedroyc brought some actual pastries for everyone to try, and tossing some from one table to another, badly, somehow escalated into a Food Fight. In the 2016 edition, she brought a small picnic, including a small water bottle half full of brandy.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_627264e0	comment	Death Glare: In the 2013 edition of the Big Fat Quiz of the '90s, Jimmy Carr informs the contestants late in the show that the losers will be gunged. Richard Ayoade, whose team was trailing far behind, shoots him one of these. In the 2005 Quiz, one question was about what unfortunate broadcast a plane showed its passengers (it was a news report on the plane itself making an emergency landing). Jimmy gets his revenge over 10 years later:

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_8042e814	comment	Actually Pretty Funny: Jack Whitehall recounts a tweet he received after he and Jonathan Ross presented an award, which he describes as "one of the most creative bits of abuse ever". He and everyone else laugh as he tells it. In 2006, after David Walliams insults Boy George, Russell Brand asks if he really wanted to hurt him. Jimmy gives his team a point for that. In the 2013 Quiz, Jonathan Ross has apparently been paired with Jack Whitehall to prevent him from the kind of inappropriate material that drew complaints in the 2012 Quiz, by setting up pre-prepared family-friendly material (read: Incredibly Lame Pun-aganza) for him to use. Jack does wind up laughing at some of it. One question in the Quiz of 2018 involves the head of Sainsbury about to be interviewed, in what appeared to be a "medieval castle" going by the wall behind him. Michelle Wolf, the one American player, says that "that's just England", which led to this reaction from everyone else.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_f332d990	comment	Too Much Information: The first ep of Everything, where the question was about what Bill Gates and a bunch of mature men were celebrating, and Bob Mortimer's answer was "Prostate Exams All Clear". Going by what Mel said in Quiz of the Year 2016, it's fairly obvious what the real family affliction is:

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: A whole host of new ones are started every year, such as making references to Russell and Wossy's involvement in the Andrew Sachs Scandal or Jimmy's tax evasion scandal. Inevitably when the Masterpiece Theatre question comes up someone will suggest the reader was reading his own biography. The 2015 edition featured Richard Ayoade and Greg Davies's team answering "Bad Dong" to an increasing number of questions, until it became the answer to every question in the final round. As it devolved into an Overly Long Gag, Davies couldn't help laughing even as he was a bit ashamed of how much he was enjoying the bit. In the 2006 edition, David Walliams coins "Congratuwelldone". Jimmy sometimes says this to winners of later quizzes. At some point Jimmy started claiming that one of the players was somehow related to the person in the obscure video providing the question, like the time he referred to a group of students in old-fashioned uniforms and ties from a video made in the '60s as "Richard Ayoade's classmates". A running gag across multiple years involves Jimmy asking a question with the phrasing "Can you tell me what event this is referencing" or something similar, followed by David Mitchell pointing out that Jimmy's Exact Words were "Can you tell me", and insisting that "No" is an acceptable answer and should be counted as such. Contestants bringing food to eat during the show. Jokes about Jimmy being a robot/ventriloquist puppet.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_fabef10f	comment	Don't Explain the Joke: One question in the 2007 show was about what Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did that he described as an "Easter gift" to the UK. David Mitchell and Rob Brydon's answer was "he released seamen," which they wrote as an intentionally funny answer. Rob Brydon does this frequently. The School Play question for 2015 apparently led to David Mitchell filling the answer space with a Wall of Text:

In the 2007 quiz, Jonathan Ross, who was paired with Lily Allen as the middle team, noted that Lily was sitting with Russell Brand and Noel Fielding right next to her and decided to switch seats with her to protect her from Fielding and Brand.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
Big Fat Quiz of the Year / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In The Big Fat Anniversary Quiz, David Mitchell explains that he and Richard Ayoade originally wanted to call themselves Team 3 if they were the middle team (just to be annoying), but they ended up sitting at one end, so they discarded that name and went with The Speccy Nerdy Fucknuts. Five years later, during the Noughties edition, David, now teamed up with Sarah Millican, was sat in the middle, and he immediately said that they wanted to be called Team 3. During the second Big Fat Anniversary Quiz, Jimmy asks a question about The Doctor's greatest enemy. Guess who appears to provide the last question? In the 2011 edition, while discussing David Mitchell's pronunciation of "masturbatory", Jonathan Ross says that surely a room for masturbating in would be called a "masturbatorium". He later uses this word in casual conversation in the 2012 edition. In the 2012 quiz, Jack Whitehall jokingly suggested that Cecilia JimÃ©nez (the lady who botched the "Ecce Homo" painting of Jesus, making it memetic) was the elusive artist Banksy. Three years later in the 2015 Anniversary quiz, he and Claudia put this as their answer for what she had done, noting that Jimmy can't prove that she isn't. During the 2013 quiz, after being shown two clips of banal reality shows during the TV round, Kristen Schaal disappointedly asks "This is the best TV you could find?" Several rounds later a news clip of a politician hitting a reporter on the head with a magazine is shown, and Kristen delighted goes "Now that's good TV!" During the Quiz of 2018, Michelle Wolf says that she got the Salisbury Cathedral (mentioned in the Russian spy murder) confused with grocery chain Sainsbury. When a later question actually involves Sainsbury, Jimmy noticeably enunciates the name more clearly when reading it out.
