There is a series called 'Have I Got News For You'. It features two panels who comment each week on the news, with a presenter, unscripted apart from the questions.
Each panel has a regular 'captain', one is a comedian, the other is an ex-editor/journalist.
They are given topical questions to answer regarding newspaper articles.
The first part of the short video is where they have to fill in the blank from a headline.
It then degenerates into an off the cuff dialogue regarding Pot Noodles.

The speech can be very quick and may be difficult to follow for a non English speaker and/or non British, plus a couple of comments may not be understood.
But it's worth listening to for the banter, quickness of mind and comedic timing.

Thanks for that, Mark. I looked at a few other videos on You Tube.

i must admit i don't quite get the joke with the wig thing - wouldn't it have been funnier if he had told people to pull at his hair or something, and then it comes off?

also i don't quite understand why they all find it gross and start gagging when he says it is his own hair...

And I was thinking "I don't even know that many people." (At least people whom I would do that to.)

I especially love this part

Speaking at the launch of the single, whose proceeds will go towards teaching discipline, literacy and contraception at British schools, composer and singer Boomtown Gundane said that for years he had been irked by Geldof’s assumption that hungry Africans were also stupid
