There it is! The explanation for the shirt! Most of you don’t get the reference, for others it makes an odd kind of sense, but overall nobody but me enjoyed it. For those who don’t know NumberWang, well, it’s the number show that simply everyone, is talking about? Yes. It’s from the sketch show “That Mitchell and Webb Look” was a running sketch on the the show. And yes, most of the show is on Youtube (it’s no longer on Netflix, dammit). For the crack I made about the complications of coming up with the numbers on Ginger’s shirts, here’s a History of NumberWang:
And, Goddamn, sorry about the late update. This was one of these comics where I just couldn’t draw the comic as something I was happy with. I still have issues with how it came out but I’ll accept it for what it is. I actually talked to Erik of Biff the Vampire for a short bit about this kind of thing recently. It’s one of those personality things I need to work on that will increase the speed at which I work (aiming for what I’m happy with more so than perfectionist bullshit and I’m trying to find that spot.)
In other news, Lemmo and Aric have a side project going while they’re figuring out how they’ll continue Blank It, it’s called Kaleiope and it looks like it’s going to be pretty great.
Thanks for reading!
NumberWang was my favorite game show before… The Event *screaming*
No! Don’t remember the Event! It will cause distress!
So, we finally have the explanation … and it wasn’t worth it
I said several times it was all for me! Sure, I let it build up in people’s mind, that just makes it funnier. I was perfectly happy with the outcome.
That was the best show ever to air on bbc… EVER!!!!!
I wish it was still on Netflix, or that I could get it on Region 1 DVD.
Unfortunately, there will never be a copy on DVD, because the DeCSS prime isn’t numberwang.
I don’t know. Top Gear is pretty full of win. I don’t even like cars, but I love that show. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are ridiculously funny.
Then there’s Doctor Who which is just classically epic. It’s coming up on it’s 50th year and it’s still going strong.
thats because 50 is numberwang
Amount of drinks needed to make the crowd tolerable would be something like
amount of people split on how good the music is, multiplied with 7. Extremely simplified, but something like that.
But is it Numberwang?
I don’t know the Numberwang sketch, but I know that show.
The only sketch I’ve seen is the one about the captains that suck at naming places, but it’s hilarious.

I kind of relate to it because there are a lot of places in Nevada that were poorly named. Our capitol Carson City is named after a guy that spent like two weeks here, Virginia City literally let the town drunk name the place, and my hometown of Yerington is named after a guy that kind of shafted the town. There are others, but this is getting kind of long.
I thought I did post last year a post that was just “That’s numberwang” seems that it did not get posted though… :/
Although I do expect to see Ginger wearing t-shirts that say… “Mile End”, “Tottenham Court Road”, “Green Park”, “Parsons Green”, “Clapham Junction”, “In nipp”, “Clapham Common”, “Wandsworth Common”, “Cockfosters”, “Turnham Green” … that would fox a lot of people…
Oh before I forget before “That Mitchell and Webb Look” was on the television it was a BBC Radio 4 comedy radio series like a number of popular shows on the TV.
A couple of my American friends refused to believe that “Whose line is it anyway” started off as a radio series on BBC Radio 4 until I played them the said series.
And that’s the end of round 1, so now it’s time to rotate the broad!
FALSE.
I enjoyed it.
Now it’s time for WangerNum!
THAT’S what the reference is for. i was really confused when it appeared. thank you for giving an explanation for it
