Comedy World Cup

Rounds

The Year In Question appears in all episodes; teams view television clips and must determine the year of first broadcast and identify the theme tune. The Young Ones, featured in episodes 1–3 and 5–7, involves a child performing a stand-up routine based on a comedian, which the teams must identify. Book Group, only in episode 4, has three extracts from a comedian's autobiography read aloud; teams identify the author, earning 3 points after one extract, 2 after two, or 1 after all three.

In the Frame, present in all episodes, shows stills from comedy films with actors' flesh removed; after naming the film, teams answer a related question. Sitcom Graveyard, in episodes 1–3, 5, and 7, has one team read three sitcom plots, only one real, and the other team identifies the real one; in the final, one team chose to answer a question on Mind Your Language, leaving the other with this round. Mind Your Language, in episodes 4, 6, and 7, shows a clip of a British sitcom remade abroad, and teams identify the original sitcom; in the final, one team chose this round, leaving the other with Sitcom Graveyard.

In the Spotlight gives one team member one minute to answer quick-fire questions on a specific category. What Happens Next shows a clip paused at a cliffhanger, and teams must say what follows.
