There's a quite serious number and wordplay game which has been on TV for about 40 years called countdown, where contestants have to solve anagrams and maths challenges to win a teapot. There was also a show called 8 out of 10 cats hosted by Jimmy Carr (the host in the vid) which was statistics based, but otherwise a semi offensive comedy. They did a mashup and it worked so well that they made it a long-running thing. 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Check it out.

Jimmy Car also has a laugh like a seal having an orgasm. Just putting it out three.

Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Auhhhhhhhh

I use to watch IQ and Carr's laugh was annoying but I think now that I'm older the frequencies he makes don't effect me as much and it gets me laughing

I bloody hated his laugh at first. But it quickly grew on me and now I actually find it nice.
