History Series / NeverMindTheBuzzcocks

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Done in rounds such as the "Explicit Content" round, where the teams are shown four censored music videos and have to guess which one is actually explicit; the last one will usually be something obviously clean that has been censored for fun, such as the music video for ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder''.

%% * CoolLoser: Simon, all over. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4WlBZ_I8HE Case in point]] (Skip to 6:40 for hard evidence).
%% ** And his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LJFQvPfgn0 authentic punk dancing]].

-->'''Mark''': ABBA comprised of Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Anni-Frid and took their name from their initials. Four English singers tried repeat ABBA's success, but unfortunately William, Annie, Nigel and Keith - yes I said William, Annie, Nigel and Keith - couldn't think of a name.

* LongList: Of things Music/{{Morrissey}} [[TheEeyore apparently hates]], and [[AllOfThem what should have won "Best Song of the Last 25 Years" over Robbie Williams' "Angels"]], among others.

* IndecipherableLyrics: TropeNamer for the older Mark-era round, where the teams are played a song with [[TheUnintelligible difficult-to-make-out vocals]] and have to guess what the lyrics are. [[RuleOfFunny Only occasionally do they try to guess correctly]].

* {{Determinator}}: Phill is the only person to have appeared in almost every regular episode (with the exception of one, where Creator/FrankieBoyle filled in for him).

* LongRunnerCastTurnover: Every cast position except Phill's has been held by multiple people. Phill is the only original cast member still on the show, and he only ever missed one episode which was filled by Creator/FrankieBoyle.

British PanelGame (1996- based around pop music, named after the PopPunk band Music/{{Buzzcocks}} and the album ''Music/NeverMindTheBollocksHeresTheSexPistols''. The most recent lineup consists of host Rhod Gilbert, with Creator/PhillJupitus and Creator/NoelFielding as captains of the two teams of three. Previous team captains were Sean Hughes (Series 1-10) and Music/BillBailey (Series 11-21), each time taking the opposing side to Phill Jupitus. The two other members of each team are whatever musicians, comedians or other recognisable faces the producers can secure at the time -- there has been LampshadeHanging about the poor quality of the guests on numerous occasions... which [[SelfDeprecation some guests]] take more good-naturedly [[SmallNameBigEgo than others]].

* Main/TakeThat: Against so many musicians, bands and occasionally, other celebrities. The host and team captains have a penchant for throwing digs at each other too.

The show debuted in 1996. Mark Lamarr was the original host, and after his departure there were a series of [[GuestHost temporary hosts]], including Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs and Jeremy Clarkson from ''Series/TopGear'' before Simon Amstell took over until 2009. The show returned to using [[GuestHost guest hosts]] until 2013. In 2014, Rhod Gilbert took over as the regular host, and exchanged the show's often vitriolic atmosphere for a format in which both he and his guests have as much fun as possible. However, this would be the final year of the show in its original format as the BBC chose to axe it in 2015. In January 2021, it was announced Sky had commissioned a revival which is currently in development which began airing in June of the same year with Creator/GregDavies as the new host. Creator/PhillJupitus was replaced with Creator/DaisyMayCooper and Creator/NoelFielding was kept on from the previous lineup. A second series on Sky, the show's 30th series in total, started in September 2022.

** Sean rattled off [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJFL2eerq-Q a garbled Irish Gaelic phrase]] (translatable as "A million thanks to go to the toilet, if you please" but not, as some people, an idiomatic way of saying "Please may I go to the toilet".) in one episode as a BatmanGambit to pick one of the Nolan Sisters out of a lineup (she being the only one who understood it and couldn't keep a straight face).

* SubvertedKidsShow: In an episode where the Identity Parade consisted of puppets who had all had novelty singles, amongst them was ventriloquist Keith Harris with his puppet Orville the Duck, known for TastesLikeDiabetes Christmas singles. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U3KFT1LKmc Keith took the opportunity for being past the watershed to have Orville swear mildly]]. When Mark encouraged him to go further...

--> '''Phill:''' Then he [one of Music/TheBeeGees] sings "[[{{Mondegreen}} I've got a penguin on my shoes]]", but what we don't know, Mark, is whether it's a penguin as in the wildfowl, or as in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin_%28biscuit%29 the delicious chocolatey biscuit]].

* {{Determinator}}: Phill is the only person to have appeared in almost every regular episode (with the exception of one, where FrankieBoyle filled in for him).

* HeroicBSOD: In the very first episode, there was a round where the teams had to work out what the Top Of The Pops in-house dancers were performing ridiculously-literal dance routines to. After it was revealed that one of answers was "Bankrobber" by TheClash, Phill (being a huge Clash fan) had a major one of these, going so far as to refuse points for guessing correctly.

** Phill does, however, do a ''startlingly'' good [[StarWars Chewbacca]] impression.

* NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognise: Meant to be the entire point of the Identity Parade, but they're usually such obscure celebrities that it doesn't work out that way. However, when it does, Phill will often explain his choice that way; e.g., "I think number 3 is Wee Willie Harris, ''[[ShapedLikeItself because it's Wee Willie Harris!]]''". Also occasionally ''inverted'' when the panel rule someone out because they recognise them as a RecurringExtra or a member of the crew.

* '''I Fought The Law:''' A multiple-choice round where the teams are asked which law-breaking mishap involving a musician actually happened.

* SecondVerseCurse: Before performing the Intros round with Sean, Canadian comedian Seán Cullen warmed up by singing the Canadian national anthem. They ran into trouble upon being prompted by Mark for the second ''line''.

-->'''Sean:''' "Oh, Canada... become more interesting..."

** Thirdly, Huey Morgan of Music/FunLovinCriminals in series twenty-seven, episode seven. He stormed off as soon as the show ended, unhappy at the way he was being treated by the guest hosts
** Fourth was Rizzle Kicks, who left because of the repetitive nature of some of the segments. Notable in that he'd been appearing on the show intermittently since 1998 (including as a guest host in 2006) and never got annoyed or irritated.
