Feb 10, 2025
It would be incredibly lazy to make jokes about drug-use when watching H.R. Pufnstuf. So we won't do that. We'll just say it's crap.
​

Feb 17, 2025
It's the 10th anniversary of W4B, and we go back to where it all started by watching Dungeons & Dragons again. But this time, it's the fan-made production of the unmade final episode script.
​

​

Episode 501 - Dungeons and Dragons (episode 1)
Mar 17, 2025
To show how far we've come in the last ten years we present the very first episode of W4B, in which we watch some teenagers dealing with the everyday problems of being trapped in a fantasy world with a rubbish unicorn. It's just as good as it sounds. And thanks to our 2015 recording setup it sounds terrible.
​
Mar 24, 2025
How did the Rhino get its skin? Millions of years of environmental adaptation, or a cake-based prank? In today's post-facts world, there's really no way to say for sure...
​
Episode 503 - The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys
Mar 31, 2025
Someone should make a tv show based on brine shrimp eggs. Said no-one, ever.

May 12, 2025
Wonderbug is about a cheeky car that's alive, but it's completely different from Herbie the Love Bug, so stop saying that it's the same because it isn't.
​
May 19, 2025
Pigsty is about a diner which is run by nightmarish pig-human hybrids and everybody is cool with that, yeah? Nobody questions it, it's fine. Just eat your food and go about your day.
​
Jun 2, 2025
You haven't heard of Street Frogs, but it was a real cartoon about frogs, living on a street.
​
Jun 9, 2025
Gruey is another dull tv show about a mischievous northern schoolboy, but we spend more time talking about the mischievous projects the main character filmed as an adult.
​
Episode 513 - Theodore Tugboat
Jun 16, 2025
We did a show about tugs once before, and invited you to make your own jokes then. We'd advise doing the same again, as ours haven't got any better.
Jun 23, 2025
If you think we make loads of funny jokes about balls this week, you're wrong. Our jokes are never funny.
​
Episode 515 - The Return of Dogtanian
Jun 30, 2025
Sequels are always brilliant aren't they? I bet you can't think of a single example of a horribly disappointing sequel. On a completely unrelated note, we watched the Return of Dogtanian.
​

Trying to make an educational cartoon fun is like putting a cherry on top of a dog poo. There, I said it.
​
Episode 518 - Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Jul 21, 2025
A boring gameshow for kids about geography is not made better by including the pursuit of a big robot. Geography is dull.
​
Jul 28, 2025
This week we use our audio-only format to watch a gameshow about guessing a tune with the volume mostly down.
​
Aug 4, 2025
This week we see what happened when the BBC had access to computer graphics. And a joystick.

08/11/2025
How should we pronounce "Dino Boy?" Is it "Dino Boy," or "Dino Boy?"
​
Episode 522 - One Man and His Dog
08/18/2025
We settle in to watch some sheep dog trials, which is a lot less exciting than it sounds. Or more exciting, depending on your stance on farm work vs legal dramas.
​
Episode 523 - Issi Noho
08/25/2025
A panda is rescued from a crate and does magic with maths, endangering his young human friends with hilarious consequences.
​
Episode 524 - Molly's Gang
09/01/2025

​
Episode 525 - ProStars
09/08/2025
Three famous American sport players fight crime using their sporting abilities, but one of them is too famous to actually turn up in person.

​​
Episode 527 - Think of a Number
09/22/2025
Think of a number. No, not that one. It's rude.
​
Episode 528 - Here Come the Double Deckers!
09/29/2025
The Double Deckers are some kids who live in a bus and are also a band. One of them might turn into a stuffed tiger, that is not actually made clear.
​
Episode 529 - Jem
10/06/2025
Whether you love or hate the cartoon adventures of Jem and the Holograms, by the end of this episode, the word "hologram" will have become meaningless.
​
Episode 530 - The Mighty Orbots
10/13/2025
Despite being a bit formulaic, The Mighty Orbots appears to have been a good cartoon, which is hard to make fun of and that makes the creators pretty selfish I reckon.
​
Episode 531 - Teddy Edward
10/20/2025
A sexy catalogue model teddy bear goes travelling, mainly to show off his bare bear chest and medallion. This show is real.
​

KID: "Mum, can we have Sesame Street?" MOTHER: "We have Sesame Street at home!" The Sesame Street at home is the Letter People.
​
Episode 533 - Pardon My Genie
11/03/2025
Pardon My Genie is probably a pun, but if it is one, it isn't a good one. Which is thematically appropriate.
​
Episode 534 - The Mouse Factory
11/10/2025
The Mouse Factory is not about a factory that produces mice, nor is it about a factory operated and owned by mice. Titles are misleading sometimes, don't trust anything.
​
Episode 535 - Grotbags
11/17/2025
Grotbags got her own show because everybody prefers the villain. But in a way, Emu was also the villain, attacking celebrities and throwing Rod Hull into freezers. I wish Grotbags *had* eaten him.
