* In the episode hosted by Adam Buxton, 'Next Lines' was replaced with a round about Adam's favorite subject - YouTube comments (the panel were supposed to guess hidden words from the comments), including:

* In the episode hosted by Adam Buxton, 'Next Lines' was replaced with a round about Youtube comments (the panel were supposed to guess hidden words from the comments), including:
** "Whoever dislikes this video is a meanny bo beanny terd poo poo face." (Noel's theory about the missing words in that one: "Whoever dislikes this video is an intricate charcoal drawing of a face.")
** "DIS GUY MUST BE A ALIEN OR SUTIN"

* Comedian Arthur Smith starting a running gag about everyone (even Creator/AndrewLloydWebber) being better looking than [[HollywoodDateless Sean]]. During the Intros round, Mark gives Sean grief for using a comb that ended up sounding nothing like the record. This culminated in Arthur saying:

-->'''Phill:''' Usually go round [[HollywoodDateless Sean's]] house.

* "Music/{{Rihanna}}" in the Biggie to Smalls round was wearing a hat that completely covered the top half of her face and made her look like she had no eyes, so Simon nded up trying to look under the hat to see who she actually was.

--> '''Mark:''' ''(looking and sounding bored)'' Is it number one, Mark one? Number two, me too? Number three, [[TakeThatMe the king of grease]]? ''(sighs resignedly)'' ...Number four, [[BestialityIsDepraved The Wiltshire Sheep Worrier]]? I'm not even saying number five!

* Noel and Professor Green doing I Gotta Feeling" by Music/TheBlackEyedPeas while miming killing themselves in every way they could.

* Rizzle Kicks 'apologising' to a musician they had a Twitter fight with while making a [[ADateWithRosiePalms certain hand gesture.]]

* Sophie Ellis-Bextor said that she was married, to which fellow guest James Lance replied, "Ah, shit."

* Simon Amstell's reaction to Preston storming off in a huff after reacting very badly to being made fun of: a nonchalant "Oh no, we can't lose Preston." The moment also provides a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome mixed in - Bill Bailey immediately went into the audience, found a man who looked a little like Preston, and convinced him to sit in for the rest of the show. The stand-in almost immediately proved himself a more good-humoured participant than Preston had been.

-->'''Billy Bragg:''' ''({{beat}})'' It's inside me?
-->'''Mark:''' No, you're close.
-->'''Billy:''' It's inside him? ''(points to Richard)''

* Phill, Brian Molko, and Bruce Dickinson making up cheese-themed lyrics to "Tumbling Dice" by Music/TheRollingStones.

** Saving the best for last, Sean's team had to find two members of The Wurzels... [[UpToEleven all dressed in suit combos and quiffs similar to Mark!]]

--> '''Mark''': And I've got the lyrics to "[[UpToEleven Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer, Katzenellenbogen by the Sea]]".

* Stealth objects continue to be referenced throughout the show but taken {{Up To Eleven}} in Next Lines...

* This episode featured part of an Music/AliceInChains video ("Them Bones", to be precise). It's probably not quite as funny as it was when the episode first aired, considering [[FunnyAneurysmMoment Layne Staley would die a year later of a heroin overdose]], but the comments former East 17 member Brian Harvey make about the video are surprisingly funny.

--> '''Mark:''' "The ones who ain't good looking..."
--> '''Phill:''' Usually go round [[HollywoodDateless Sean's]] house.
--> ''(cut to Sean looking embarrassed)''

* In Freeze Frame, Phill's team are given a clip of former boxer Chris Eubank lisping his way through the Top Of The Tops chart rundown. Through the whole clip you can clearly hear Phill beside himself with laughter. It got even worse when it was revealed the answer (which they guessed correctly) was "Cecelia" by Suggs at number six (or as it ended up sounding: "Thikth, Thethelia by Thuggth").

* Phill's team, containing then-former Music/TakeThat singer Gary Barlow and [[OopNorth Tony Wright]] of Terrorvision's interpretation of Dutch heavy metal band Vortex's song "Open The Gate" in Indecipherable Lyrics is to be heard to be believed. Special mention goes to Wright's main contribution, 'bright arse is a plan of beautiful bits'[[note]]The actual line is "We've got a task, a plan, a duty to fulfil"[[/note]], followed by Lamarr interjecting with "It's much nicer than 'Bright arse, burning like fire', isn't it?"
--> '''Phill''': They're hungry, they're socially conscious, they're angry, they're Dutch, they look like pandas.

--> '''Mark:''' "I'm every woman..."
--> '''Billy Bragg:''' ''({{beat}})'' It's inside me?
--> '''Mark:''' No, you're close.
--> '''Billy:''' It's inside him? ''(points to Richard)''
--> '''Sean:''' ''(singing)'' Tob-ler-ooone!

* Phill, Brian Molko and Bruce Dickinson making up cheese-themed lyrics to "Tumbling Dice" by Music/TheRollingStones.

--> '''Phill''': We turned up in the studio, there was some load of old wank about pirates, then Cheggers started talking about walloping! It's been a nightmare night out!

--> '''Phill''': Whee, hnip, znip, whee, hnipzip whee as a boy...

* Sean's round of the Identity Parade had one artist from a rockabilly group, three extras and Mark as number five ("because you're going to make the jokes anyway"). Naturally, Sean and Bill picked Mark, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueCn9WmAacg and he flipped his shit]].

--> '''Sean''': What a tosser he is.
--> '''Mark''': One point!

* Daphne, Celeste and Phill's performance of Beck's "Sexx Laws" in the intros round -- the reactions of the other guests and Mark are priceless.
* In the same round, Sean's attempts at imitating the ad libs from [[Music/BritneySpears "Oops... I Did It Again"]] end up sounding more like a dying seal.

--> '''Mark:''' "I beg your pardon..."
--> '''Bradley Walsh:''' I just farted.
--> ''(audience laughs)''
--> '''Sean:''' I never promised you a rose garden?
--> '''Mark:''' Yes it is.
--> '''Sean:''' ''(turning to Bradley)'' That was your one!
--> '''Mark:''' "Her hair is Harlow gold..."
--> '''Bradley:''' And her minge is as bald as a badger.
--> ''(cut to Phill raising his mug in appreciation)''

* Phill flat out asks Mel and Mark to have sex and get it over with, after they spend several minutes bickering.

--> '''Mark:''' "[[Music/TheBeatles Something in the way she moves...]]"
--> '''Sean:''' ''(singing)'' [[RefugeInAudacity Makes us think]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice she's got one leg?]][[labelnote:Note]]A reference to Heather Mills, Music/PaulMcCartney's then-wife. [[/labelnote]]

--> '''Mark:''' "And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time..."
--> '''Rich Hall:''' No shit.

--> '''Slash:''' My family in Stoke are watching this. My cousin's gonna be sitting there going, "What the hell's he doing?"
--> '''Mark:''' Yeah, and he won't be alone.

* During the intros round, Phill and guest Tony Mortimer had to get guest Jon Culshaw to identify "Burn, Baby Burn" by Music/{{Ash}}. After they first do it, John just can't figure it out, even with Phill imitating part of the song in Jon's face. Mark asked them to do it again, but longer. They do, but Tony breaks up whil Phill continues.

-->'''Sean''': What if UsefulNotes/TonyBlair was guessing? (winks to the camera)
-->'''Jon''': (as Tony Blair) Well, if I think Tony Blair was guessing, he would not know the answer, either.

-->'''Mark''': Sorry, I meant to say... ''(taps his nose and points to Jon)''

* Stealth objects continue to be referenced throughout the show, but taken {{Up To Eleven}} in Next Lines...

* Mark accusing Melanie Blatt of cheating during the Intros round, drinking her water, spilling it all over himself and then refilling the cup by pouring the water from his bottle all over the desk.

* Simon throwing in a running gag about Daniel Bedingfield having recorded his last album naked, especially a bit where he invited the audience to imagine Daniel naked, and looked extremely happy to be doing so.

* Perhaps one of the show's more memorable episode features Towers Of London vocalist Donny Tourette as one of the panelists. Donny is continuously mocked and ridiculed for his increasingly obvious commentary which, for the most part, he is either too vacant or vain to even notice.

-->'''Dale Winton''': What starsign are you?

* Simon asked Moby and Jamelia to provide some moments for the best of special. Moby put on a sombrero and did a dance which involved wiggling his crotch in front of Simon's face. Simon gave Jamelia a bottle and suggested that she smash it on Bill's head, and she delightedly obliged (and during one of the Intros, she grabbed another bottle and did it again, seemingly for the lulz).

* HE'S BACK AGAIN! THE HAWK! HE'S GOT THE FACE OF GARY BARLOW!
* "I will tryyyyy... to fix you..."

** One of Jedward declaring that Noel is their mother, Phill is their father and Jack is their uncle. Jack promptly demanded a blood test.

* In a round of IndecipherableLyrics, Jeff Green seems to think "Wuthering Heights" by Music/KateBush is the story of [[ItMakesSenseInContext a man called Roland falling into some brie on the moors]].

--> '''Phill''': Whee, hnip, znip, whee, hnipzip whee ''(ShockingSwerve)'' as a boy...

* Phill comparing Bob Dylan's singing to 'someone hoovering'.

* Mark’s intro to the Indecipherable Lyrics round: "So if you thought Whitney Houston sang ‘I’m shaving off my muff for you’, this round is for you".

* Phill's team, containing then-former Take That singer Gary Barlow and [[OopNorth Tony Wright]] of Terrorvision's interpretation of Dutch heavy metal band Vortex's song "Open The Gate" in Indecipherable Lyrics is to be heard to be believed. Special mention goes to Wright's main contribution, 'bright arse is a plan of beautiful bits'[[note]]The actual line is "We've got a task, a plan, a duty to fulfil"[[/note]], followed by Lamarr interjecting with "It's much nicer than 'Bright arse, burning like fire', isn't it?"

* Phill, Brian Molko and Bruce Dickinson making up cheese-themed lyrics to 'Tumbling Dice' by Music/TheRollingStones.

* Bruce telling Brian to 'stick your thumb in your mouth' while he and Phill were joking about how young Brian was at the time. Brian's response was 'Anything else you'd like me to stick in my mouth?' which Bruce didn't really have a response for.

* Sean's team (including Noddy Holder) is asked to find the connection between Shane [=MacGowan=] of the Pogues and Annie Lennox.[[note]] The actual answer being that they were both born on Christmas Day.[[/note]] First Sean asks Noddy as "[[UsefulNotes/AVeryBritishChristmas you're the Christmas expert]]", then he guesses several non-Christmas-related possibilities and Mark has to remind him that this is a Christmas show and so it'll be a Christmas connection...

* Phill's team are given a Meat Loaf video in Freeze Frame, which leads to this comment:

* After Phill's team make a mess of the Intros round, Mark decides to pass it over. [[Main/BigLippedAlligatorMoment Cut to Sean's team all reading newspapers]].

* Comedian Arthur Smith starting a running gag about everyone (even Andrew Lloyd-Webber) being better looking than [[HollywoodDateless Sean]]. During the Intros round, Mark gives Sean grief for using a comb that ended up sounding nothing like the record. This culminated in Arthur saying:

* Having a summer theme for what is meant to be a Christmas special because "the BBC are bound to rerun this show in July". They even had a Hawaiian slide guitar as the 'time's up klaxon' in Next Lines.

* After Mark and Phill spend several minutes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NqWGFLX5U8 mocking guest Toyah Willcox's supposed lack of intelligence]], she gets fed up and threatens to "come over and [[Main/ThatCameOutWrong fist you both]]". HilarityEnsues.

* Phill, Tony Wright and Howard Jones come up with an IndecipherableLyrics for "Brass in Pocket" by the Pretenders, creating a story about Chrissie Hynde going driving with a German decorator called Dieter and his brother Gunther. When she's discovered to have no passport, she gets out of it by cooking them a meal and/or giving out sexual favours:

* This episode featured part of an Alice in Chains video ('Them Bones', to be precise). It's probably not quite as funny as it was when the episode first aired, considering [[FunnyAneurysmMoment Layne Staley would die a year later of a heroin overdose]], but the comments former East 17 member Brian Harvey make about the video are surprisingly funny.

* For the entire episode, both Mark and Sean ripped Popstars-reject Darius to pieces for his infamous appearance on the reality show.

* Dani Filth, the lead singer of black metal band Cradle of Filth, was a guest on Phill's team. His bizarre contribution to the intro for 'Have You Seen Her?' by the Chi-Lites led Mark Lamarr to remark, "I think Phill was doing 'Have You Seen Her?' and Dani was doing 'Have You Seen Her? Because I Buried her Around Here Somewhere'."

* During the intros round, Phill and guest Tony Mortimer had to get guest Jon Culshaw to identify "Burn, Baby Burn" by Ash. After they first do it, John just can't figure it out, even with Phill imitating part of the song in Jon's face. Mark asked them to do it again, but longer. They do, but Tony breaks up whil Phill continues.

-->'''Sean''': What if Tony Blair was guessing? (winks to the camera)

-->'''Mark''': Oooh, it’s Mariah Kerry.

* Guest Alexander O'Neal's surprise rap during a question on "Bob The Builder".

* We're shown a shot of [[Music/{{Queen}} Brian May]] looking exceptionally smug. Bill's team spend a minute just coming up with things he might be smug about.

* Mark deciding to cheer up Alison Music/{{Goldfrapp}} by singing her favourite song in the style of M People, which consisted of him singing like a combination of The Swedish Chef and Series/MrBean to the tune of the song.

* The Next Lines round was done by two separate choirs. When a gospel choir sang 'Justified & Ancient', Mark laughed so hard he nearly fell out of his chair (and his laughter sounded like he was hiccupping). The other choir doing "Hot In Herre", "Anarchy In The UK" and "Baby Got Back", to much acclaim.

* The episode's guest host was Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs, and in the last round of questions Phill kept answering by singing Kaiser Chiefs songs. "We've only got one album, you're going to run out eventually!"
* Ryan Jarman's claim: "I invented Live8." He then goes on to justify this claim.

* After watching a Girls Aloud video, Phill's team looks at a shot of the five women in a garage. Phill says 'Look at them, will you?' and Phil Nickol says helpfully, 'Look at the [tyre] rims!'

* Amy Winehouse's opinion on Ben Elton:

* The 'Gay-Off' between Simon Amstell and John Barrowman ("You've out-gayed me, Barrowman!")

* After Simon tried to get the audience to say whose side they were on, and got lots of cheers for Bill and some boos for Phill, Phill answered one line in Next Lines with 'Ah, fuck 'em. No.'

* After struggling to and failing to find the connection between Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent, Ed Byrne suggests that Simon should just tell them the answer. Simon points out that they won't get the point, and Ed replies, "I'll take your point and shove it up your arse!" and then when Simon says he'll tell them the answer, Ed says, "It'd better be fuckin' interesting!"

* During an intros round, Simon delivered the line, "We also heard "Let's Dance" by David Bowie. David Bowie played Pontius Pilate in "The Last Temptation of Christ". I'm not saying he was wooden, but a certain Mr. Jesus Christ was nailed to him." Immediately after, the lights around began to flash and we heard a voice say, "Congratulations! It's the worst joke of the show!" Simon immediately shook hands with Phill, then guests Jermaine Jackson and David Cross.
* An early question on Franz Ferdinand lead singer Alex Kapranos led to this story from Noel Fielding:

--> '''Noel Fielding''': (to guest) You know Courtney Love, don't you?

* Richard Fleeschman's epic comeback at Simon near the end. Simon, as per usual, had been taking the piss out of him for various things, including the fact that he once won ''Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes'' with a Will Young song. Obviously, the Next Lines round contained a line from Will Young:

* The line-ups featured a Bill Bailey lookalike.

* When Jon [=McClure=] of Reverend and the Makers was a guest, Simon pulled a cup of tea and some cakes out of nowhere and offered them to him, while calling him Reverend like he was actually talking to a priest- and later, he got out some sherry and gave that to Jon as well.

* Sam Duckworth (also known as Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) saying that he picked the stage name so he wouldn't be in the same league as James Blunt, and then responding to some tuts from the audience by saying that there were obviously some middle-aged Ford Escort-driving James Blunt fans in the audience.

* 'Rihanna' in the Biggie to Smalls round was wearing a hat that completely covered the top half of her face and made her look like she had no eyes, so Simon nded up trying to look under the hat to see who she actually was.

* The rigmarole around Chris O'Dowd possibly proposing to his girlfriend on the show.

* After Moby explained that people really hate him and he thinks it's because he's just a generally annoying person, Simon gave us this conversation:

* One song in the 'Intros' round was 'Hoppipolla', by Sigur Ros. Simon explained that the song was often used to make momentous events even more grandiose, and then cut to black and white footage of the team doing the intro to the song.

* This exchange between Simon and Melanie C. (AKA Sporty Spice):

* Guest host James Corden saying that there'll be no mocking of the panel on his watch, "Whether you're short, or fat, or old, or a bit weird, or... ''(looks at Paloma)'' I don't even know what that is..."

'''Martin Freeman''': And who did it?\\

-->'''David Tennant:''' [=McFly's=] song contained the lyrics "Nothing on Earth could save us when I fell in love with Uranus," which, as it happens, was a line removed from the pilot episode of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}''. ''[shakes fist]'' [[Creator/JohnBarrowman Barrowman!]] ''[growls]'' Dougie once received a thong in the post that had "Turn your erection in my direction" written on it. ''[shakes fist]'' Barrowman!
* Tennant begins to read out a joke about Kylie Minogue's favourite bra selling for six grand on [=eBay=], and Bernard Cribbins immediately asks "D'you wanna see it?" before he can get to the punchline. (Tennant then says that Cribbins' ad-lib was funnier than the scripted punchline.) Indeed, Cribbins' {{Deadpan Snarker}}y prompted Noel to suggest that he should come and write for ''Series/TheMightyBoosh''.

** The RunningGag of people screaming 'SHUT UP!' at Jedward.

** During the Intros round, Phill and Eliza Dolittle were miming the intro to Music/MeatLoaf's 'I Would Do Anything For Love' (which involves pianos). When Charlie Higson, Phill's third team member, said that he couldn't get it, Eliza offered to 'just do the fingers', by which she meant 'make the movement while not making any sound'. Phill pretty much had a HeroicBSOD, and he ended up splashing water on his face to knock himself out of it.

--> '''Rufus Hound:''' "I've done quite a few panel shows with different sorts of hosts, and normally, if they have a bit of a go at you you want to fight back. But when Terry says anything I just sit here thinking 'You're right, I am a c***!'"

* Jason Donovan jokingly asking permission to blow his nose because 'everyone will think I'm back on the bizzo!'

* In the Intros round, Phill sang the opening guitar riff to Blur's "Country House", and guest host Creator/LeeMack immediately interrupted by singing "Batman!" (the aforementioned riff sounding uncannily like the guitar riff from the theme to the ''Series/Batman1966'' television series); Phill then made a second attempt after extracting a promise that Lee wouldn't sabotage the opening again, and this time Lee led the ''entire audience'' in a chorus of "Batman!" He insisted that twice was enough and three times would be overdoing the joke, but after Phill sang the opening riff for the third time, he stopped and glared at Lee, who simply shrugged innocently... and then a random audience member yelled [[RuleOfThree "Batman!"]]

* Guest host Robert Webb and everyone else kept making fun of Chris Packham (who does a nature/animal-centric show) and decided that 'Chris Packham, animal watcher' was boring, so for the purposes of the show, he was Chris Packham, animal sodomizer.

* When talking about Bow Wow Wow (who did 'I Want Candy', among others), Robert said that they couldn't show one of their albums because it featured the band's (at the time) underage singer topless, so the closest they could get to showing a pair of tits was... a Jedward album. With their eyes blacked out.
* Robert taking 'literal' to the extreme and telling guest Cee-Lo Green that, as his latest album was called 'Ladykiller', Robert would be extremely vexed if Cee-Lo killed any ladies.

* The ideology war between Frankie Boyle (extreme pessimist) and Michelle Williams (optimist).

* Frankie saying that Noel, who was dressed in a long coat and a red ruffled shirt, looked like a 'bisexual Doctor Who'.
* Noel and Professor Green doing 'I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas while miming killing themselves in every way they could.

* The Lorraine Kelly episode is absolutely golden, from Noel's "Team Abstract"(Stacey Solomon and Tony Law) coming up with ... [[CloudCuckoolander odd]] explanations for how Wyclef Jean broke his hand, to Noel [[ItMakesSenseInContext getting spanked, to Phill getting one of his legs waxed]], to Lorraine Kelly's WardrobeMalfunction necessitating her to leave the set, causing the teams to break out into chaos like a school class without a teacher, to a ''fantastic'' explanation of what the crowd does when someone lays down a good burn in a battle-rap[[note]]They touch all the sides of an invisible shape[[/note]].

-->'''Amy''': I don't thing there's such thing as integrity or being a sellout, I just thing he's a wanker!

* During the Connections round when trying to find the connection between OzzyOsbourne and GunsNRoses, guest Richard Fairbrass of Right Said Fred makes a guess that both artists [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkQ1G8Wx4IQ "abused a Toberlone bar in a hotel"]][[note]]The real answer is that both Ozzy and Izzy from Guns N' Roses have been arrested for urinating in public.[[/note]], to which Mark then twists it to imply that Richard did the same thing. Later on in Next Lines, Sean would [[CallBack call-back]] to the anecdote by singing the word "Toberlone".

* In the same round, Sean's attempts at imitating the ad libs from [[BritneySpears "Oops... I Did It Again"]] end up sounding more like a dying seal.

* Phill's team, containing then-former Take That singer Gary Barlow and [[OopNorth Tony Wright]] of Terrorvision's interpretation of Dutch heavy metal band Vortex's song "Open The Gate" in Indecipherable Lyrics is to be heard to be believed. Special mention goes to Wright's main contribution, 'bright arse is a plan of beautiful bits'[[note]]The actual line is "We've got a task, a plan, a duty to fulfil"[[/note]], followed by Lamarr interjecting with "It's better than 'Bright arse, burning like fire', innit?"
