Mock the Week - Series 7 Ep 1
“And the answer is…” round:
50 Nights
Gina Yashere: Is it how long does it take me to build my IKEA wardrobe?
Hugh Dennis: Is it if an MP spent one night in a hotel, how many nights would he claim for?
Frankie Boyle: Is it how much of a start Steven Hawking will be given at this year’s London Marathon?
….
Russell Howard: Is it how many nights a year does the Queen sneak away to do karaoke… under the alias of Big Momma?
Frank Skinner: Is it how many night shifts would you have to do at B&Q before you dismissed life as a grotesque pantomime?
Frankie Boyle: Dogs often go to fetch help when their master is in trouble. How long would it take before you cat gave a shit?
Russell Howard: Is it how long would it take for Nick Park to film a Wallace and Grommit porno?
Frank Skinner: Hold on, I haven’t done a funny one yet. Is it… generally speaking… what separates… 51 days?

[about Michael Jackson]
Andy Parsons: 13 of his singles are in the Top 40. So the Spice Girls, they know what they’ve got to do!
Frankie Boyle: I didn’t even know this… he was a Jehovah’s Witness! That’s like the least weird thing about him. I bet when he went to the Jehovah’s Witness meetings, he pretended not to be in. *pretends to be looking through keyhole* It’s Michael, turn the telly down!
Frank Skinner: Although he did look like the sort of person who wouldn’t have a blood transfusion, didn’t he?
———————————
Frankie Boyle: He left his kids to Diana Ross?!
Frank Skinner: Let’s all do it. Let’s all do it in our wills. It’ll be like rick-rolling
Russell: It WOULD be great if we did leave everything to Diana Ross. If everyone in the world got together, just anything, like a BUGLE or a FLUTE. So she’d be sat there going, “This is ridiculous. I feel like I’m in the middle of a chain reaction.”
Hugh: Do you think in the middle of parenting, she says, “STOP! … in the name of love.”
Frankie: Isn’t it funny that as his dancing deteriorated his skin got whiter and whiter?
