Q/A

What is NumberWang?

An apparently long-running game show hosted by ArdyArd, where two seemingly permanent contestants, Simon and Julie call off numbers until a "Numberwang" is declared. However, what actually constitutes a Numberwang is never fully explained as the game's progression is purely surreal. Additional bits include Numberscoff (contestants eating number-shaped cakes), Nümberwang (a German version), and Numberbounce (contestants catching ceiling-hung numbers on trampoline). Each game is always concluded with the "Wangernumb" round, which is preceded by the rotating of the board the contestants are seated on, briefly revealing a non sequitur scene on the other side, then rotating back to the playing contestants in a full revolution. One contestant (nearly always Simon) is declared Wangernumb as the day's champion, while the losing contestant suffers varying consequences such as being stuffed into a cardboard box or arrested by the police.(Edited version of Wikipedia page "That Mitchell and Webb Look")

List of Episodes

Test Episode

Round 1

In round 1, the players Stringle55(Julie) and Allifarki were supposed to play. Shortly after Alli announced he can't join the game. Kekkomatic(Simon) substituted for Allifarki.

Round 2

Round 2 was for calling imaginary numbers. Both players had earned 2^pony points while Julie had earned 4.

Wangernumb

This round wasn't played because Stringle went to his town.The board wasn't also rotating because all moderators were busy (and Lalaboy didn't understand what he had to do). Since Stringle left, Kekkomatic was counted as the Wangernumb of the day.
