The World Cup of Forgotten Fashion opens with Groups A–D, taking us straight back to the outfits, trends and choices that defined entire eras — and specific moments in our lives.

This episode is pure nostalgia. From the unmistakable rustle of shell suits and the quiet confidence of a fresh pair of Reebok Classics, to the era-defining flex of a Benetton bag, these aren’t just clothes — they’re memories. School discos, first holidays, shopping trips with parents, and nights out that still live in your head.

We reminisce about NAFFCO 54, the rise of Patrick Cox wannabes, and the trends you wore proudly at the time… before later pretending you never did.

Every item unlocks a different chapter, a different soundtrack, and a different version of yourself.

This episode sets the tone for the tournament.

After crowning the peroxide kings, it was only right to even things up.

This bonus episode brings you The World Cup of Blonde Women, a full Groups A-H World Cup celebrating some of the most iconic, influential and instantly recognisable blonde eras in pop culture, TV, music and beyond.

From Denise Van Outen and Paula Yates to Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz and the unforgettable Annalise from Neighbours, this tournament isn’t about looks - it’s about impact, era-defining energy, cultural footprint and “you had to be there” moments.

As always, the criteria is loose, the debates are heated, nostalgia does most of the heavy lifting, and consistency disappears early doors.

Icons clash, hot takes fly, and no one agrees on anything for more than 30 seconds.

This episode exists for balance, fairness, and because the list is genuinely ridiculous.

The World Cup of the Letter C: FULL EPISODE

This week we’re going all in with a full, uncut episode of The World Cup of the Letter C, where absolutely anything beginning with “C” is fair game.

From Coffee, Crocs and Candy Shops to ChatGPT, Costco and Canary Wharf, this tournament throws together places, people, concepts and complete nonsense, then treats them with far more seriousness than they deserve.

Along the way we argue the merits of Christmas, question the power of Camping, get sidetracked by Chicken, and somehow end up debating whether Cheese deserves elite status. Logic is stretched, rules are bent, and consistency is abandoned almost immediately.

This one’s a proper World Cup episode - full groups, full debates, full chaos - and it’s completely free as a gateway into the series.

Group B: Joe Exotic, Paddy Pimblett, Robbie Savage, Gazza 1996

Group C: Pat Sharp, Shane Warne, Ric Flair, Eminem

Pick your favourites. Question your choices. Embrace the bleach.

Top 40 Acts of Fruitiness is a knowingly daft countdown of cultural habits, moments and pop-culture tropes that have traditionally been joked about as being “a bit fruity.”

This episode leans hard into irony, exaggeration and old-school banter — laughing at the language, the stereotypes and the ridiculous logic behind them, not at real people or identities.

It’s self-aware, unapologetically silly and rooted in how jokes used to be made before everything needed a footnote. Nothing here is meant to define anyone — it’s about the humour, the nostalgia and the sheer absurdity of it all.

Take it exactly as intended: tongue in cheek, eyebrows raised, and absolutely not that deep.

This week’s episode is a bumper 48-team special as the World Cup of Horrible People explodes into life with Groups A–H revealed and debated in full.

From pop culture and politics to media figures, sport and online personalities, this tournament brings together some of the most divisive names of the modern era.

Agree, disagree, or shout at your phone — that’s the point.

Group A: Machine Gun Kelly, Sadiq Khan, Jeremy Kyle, Steven Bartlett

Group B: Eni Aluko MBE, Katie Hopkins, Bob Vylan, Dillon Danis

Group C: Jamiroquai, Narinder Kaur, Yungblud, Floyd Mayweather Jnr

Group D: Keir Starmer, Roxanne Pallett, Sam Smith, Tommy Robinson

Group E: Charlie Mullins, Tim Westwood, Conor McGregor, Prince Harry

Group F: Bob Geldof, Jeremy Vine, Sam Thompson, Owen Jones

Group G: Jake Paul, Andy Tate, Cycling Mikey, Tony Blair

Group H: Laurence Fox, Megan Rapinoe, Donald Trump, Cynthia Erivo

This is a full standalone episode, with the full episode available exclusively at patreon.com/theworldcupof

Choose wisely. Or don’t. Chaos is inevitable.

The World Cup of Horrible Words & Phrases kicks off with Groups A–D, bringing together some of the most irritating, overused and instantly rage-inducing words and sayings in modern life.

Before any eliminations, we set the criteria for what truly makes a word or phrase unbearable — then let the arguments begin.

Group A: Suck Your Mum, The Ick, Today Years Old, It’s Giving

Group B: Motive, Hella / Finna, Unalived, Deadass?

Group C: Scran, Aaaayyyy, Can I Get, Mancrush

Group D: X-More Sleeps, Cahnlie, Cry More, Wallahi

This is a full standalone episode introducing the tournament and its opening groups.

Before any eliminations or knockout drama, this episode sets the criteria, the rules, and the tone for how 2025 will be judged.

Serious moments sit next to the ridiculous, and nothing is off-limits once the debate starts.

This is a full standalone episode introducing the tournament and its first four groups.

All groups, full debates, and progression through the rounds are available exclusively on Patreon.
