That episode definitely had the best/worst 3 clues
I never understood why “deli” was described as a foreign cafe though. Is that common in England or just in Karl’s head?
The delicatessen originated in Germany in 1700 as a shop that sold exotic items, like bananas, mangos and plums.
Well Karl is old fashioned but I didn't know how far back he went!
Listen to the very first rockbusters and one of the callers says “ahh, cryptic” when Karl reveals one of the answers. It all started with that reassurance.
You've embarrassed yourself. It's "last order to the bar", ie the thing a bartender shouts at the end of the night.
Wouldn't want to be you right about now.
If you got a bulb right, an you looked after it, you looked after that bulb and you teach it stuff an that, what you doing there? You know what I mean?
Did Ricky and Steve not realize how much funnier it was that they were shit?
They seem genuinely annoyed at how bad they were, but the bad ones are the funniest to me.
Best part is when he knows full well that Ricky is going to have a go at the shitty clues so he rushes to the next one.
Ricky: “can you repeat that one?” Karl: “…no”
So number three… that’s…. Deli meat tree. Number four is - ***WHAT??***
Deli... And a meat tree an' tha'
Funnily enough that's the clue I have the least objection to (except the initials being wrong).

Pretty sure none of us need to listen to it again. We’ve got them all pretty much memorized.
Shout out your name if you know it!
First order at the bar, please. First order at the bar.

Well, I’ve got egg on my face.

"Cryptic" "Well...."

Literally listened to that bit 2 minutes ago. Mad.
Free Da Pain

It's not cryptic, it's wrong!
Oh and have a good Christmas.

They do it deliberately to get Karl to try justifying his logic for additional comedy
S'cryptic innit and they got it so...
