Jimmy Carr & Katherine Ryan's TOP MOMENTS - UNCUT | Jimmy Carr
Quick Overview
The segment features several survey results, including that 24% of people remember school dinners, that 49% of people think Virtual Assistants are the most-used technology, and that 17% of people think Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina-scented candle is the worst thing to say to someone who has just been dumped, followed by discussions about Boris Johnson's cycling and a final, highly controversial survey result about the worst thing to say to someone who has just been dumped, which causes significant audience laughter.
Key Points: The top thing people remember about their school days is school dinners, with 24% of respondents recalling them. The most-used technology people rely on is Virtual Assistants, cited by 49% of those surveyed in a January 2020 Harris Interactive poll. Gwyneth Paltrow's 'This Smells Like My Vagina' candle was cited by 17% of people as the worst thing to say to someone recently dumped, a result that caused major on-set reactions. A question about Boris Johnson's romantic gestures revealed he was photographed riding a BMX bike and later riding a horse, leading to a discussion about what he was 'riding'. The final survey topic asked for the worst thing to say to someone who has just been dumped, which Katherine Ryan claimed was the same as saying 'I'm not going to be your girlfriend anymore' to a 2-year-old. Katherine Ryan recounted a personal story about telling her young daughter (who she was trying to potty train) that she would be 'fucked' if she didn't use the toilet, leading to the child being afraid to go to school. The show concludes with the audience and panelists reacting strongly to the controversial nature of the final survey result.
