    Lmao! Numberwang is just one recurring skit on the BBC America show, "That Mitchell and Webb Look." The numberwang skit is a game show where the contestants simply utter numbers and then the host says whether or not it's "numberwang". The first time you see it, it's just nonsense, yet after you see a few there is a method to their madness. ;)

    Each episode they do a variation on the Numberwang theme, with German Numberwang one week (that was hilarious) and another variation the next. There's one where they go over the supposed history of Numberwang, highlighting a huge document that supposedly covers the rules (which they never explain!)

    The other skits on the show vary in quality, with some being barely funny, and others have you roflyao! It's a bit like Little Britain, another great british comedy, also fronted and written by two comedians.

    If you get a chance, watch it. You'll die laughing...

    Or, go to their website and play Numberwang yourself!

    Hahaha yeah, that was definitely the best bit of that Mitchell and Webb look. Have you ever seen Peep Show? That's another thing with the pair starring, and literally makes you die laughing (or of embarrassment) search for it on www.video.google.com , there's practically every episode up there. The two are brilliant.

    I've heard of the Peep Show before. Thanks for the link, the show looks great! Now I have more comedy to watch. Wish I could get all the BBC channels here! :(
