Bet BET BET!! aye, thats the one. Had to bet how long he could shake a celebs hand for. When i first saw it i thought 'they're gonna get in trouble for that', but i think it was recieved better than expected. Now they are off to America.

I think it started off as a sketch in a bigger show, kind of the same way that Ali G took off.

My favourite ones were the one where they had a bet to see how many balloons they could tie to a chicken before it took off, I wondered how they got it back down again. And there was one where they tied one of those funnel things to a dog's head and put it infront of one of those things kids get where the holes are all different shapes, and you had to bet on how long it took the god to figure out which one was right.

But shake hands man and lady one question were great too.

"How much does Pete Beals meat and two veg weigh?

Is it a) an orange
b) a banana
c) a plum
d) a grapefruit"

that one had me in stitches, especially when they had his tackle hooked up to some scales.
