History Series / BigFatQuizOfTheYear

* {{Adorkable}}:
** David Mitchell, unequivocally.
** Richard Ayoade. Together with David Mitchell, they are the Specky Nerdy Fucknuts!
** Jack Whitehall
** Since 2014, instead of just playing in the correct answer to Jon Snow's question, they'll show him dancing (or ''trying'' to dance) to the song.
** Irish lass Aisling Bea, who'd initially gone along with Katherine Ryan by dressing up as vapid valley girls, ends up reverting to this behavior anyway, particularly in the end when she's [[ItMakesSenseInContext rocking out to the London Philharmonic Choir]].
** Noel Fielding. So Noel Fielding. Curling up for a sleepy, getting ludicrously excited about cake. He definitely has moments where he just seems like a strange, absurdist little child.
** Quiz of the Year 2017 has hiphop artist Big Narstie, who appeared rather out of place at first, then gradually revealed to be this.

Several editions are available on Youtube [[https://www.youtube.com/show?p=xrV-7mXhVcc here.]]

** Happens to both Jimmy and Denise van Outen in one Quiz of the 90s, when the question is about the short-lived girl group B*Witched, and Denise's partner Jack Whitehall can do an entire verse from memory. Not very well, but still.

* Contestants bringing food to eat during the show.

* UnEntendre: From one Quiz of the 90s, about a controversy over one politician making his daughter eat the same burger as him to affirm his belief in food standards:
-->'''Denise van Outen''': He proved that British beef is the best thing inside you. ({{Beat}} as audience reacts)\\
'''Jimmy''': I'm gonna need some kind of cold shower after that...

** Irish Aisling Bea tried to sound American when explaining [[SeperatedByACommonLanguage how "bummed" means something very different across the pond.]]

* ExactWords: ''Quiz of Everything 2018''. One question is about sign language, and Jimmy makes the sign himself as Claudia WInkleman tries to goad the answer out of him, to which he responds "Claudia, ''I love you'', but no." Once the questioning is done, Claudia still hasn't given up, but Jimmy insists that he'd already fed her the answer. It's the pinky-pointer-thumb that does mean "I Love You".

* BriefAccentImitation: In the first ep of ''Everything'' Kristen Schaal mecilessly jabs at Mel Giedroyc's attempt at sing-humming [[Music/AlanisMorissette "Ironic"]], having never heard it before.
