How to present "Only Connect" the Victoria Coren Way - 5 easy steps.

1. Every time there's one choice of category left roll out the hilarious "which one will you choose?" or "that's a fine choice" or "yes, I think you should choose that one".

2. Every time there's a mention of alcohol make sure you mention that you drink, in a blindingly unfunny, childish and cringe-worthy way - "Gin did you say? Oh I put that on my cornflakes."

3. Make it seem as if you know all the answers and are not just reading them off the cards in front of you, smugness is essential.

4. Use the word(s) "fiendish" or "fiendishly clever" as often as possible. (Note she has recently calmed down on this - obviously the producers flagged it up as very annoying.)

5. Over articulate in an unnecessarily formal, smarmy know-all whine as if you're talking to idiots- "The next round is the mmmuuuuussssiiiiccc round, you will be hhhhheeeaaaringgggg the ccccllluuueeeessss..."

Like Rivers and Silverman above he labours under the impression outrageous / offensive = funny.

Like them he pedals the lame justification "hey I'm part of a persecuted minority so it's OK for me to be offensive".

German comedian. Yes you read that right. A comedian from Germany, who relates everything to Germany in a German way. Proof of the stereotype that Germans aren't funny. You have been warned.

37. Holly Walsh

Writer | Motherland

Holly Walsh is known for Motherland (2016), The Other One (2017) and The Time Surgeon (2007).

Undeserving of any comment.

Much like #35 - another modern "woke comedian/presenter".

Trev's there to tell you how terrible everyone who doesn't see things his way is. Just in case you missed the message from pretty much every every other mainstream presenter. Orwell's two minutes of hate is very real.

40. Michelle Wolf

Actress | Horace and Pete

Michelle Wolf is known for Horace and Pete (2016), The Oscars (2016) and Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady (2017).

Not only is her comedy dreadful she conveys it with the most insufferable whine. Painful to the ears and dangerous to the human spirit.

She is also known for her rapping skills...

Another "identity comedian". If you don't think she's funny you will stamped with the scarlet letter "R", you racist. Lily smiles away smugly proselyting for the Church of Woke, it's all such fun. Except it's not fkin fun and it's certainly not funny. It's deeply divisive hate masquerading as light-hearted silliness, pumped out to the impressionable, the clueless and the "virtuous".

43. Desiree Burch

Actress | Jack in a Box

Desiree Burch is known for Jack in a Box (2009), A Castle for Christmas (2021) and The Sandman (2022).

As loud as she is unfunny.
