Remotely Funny is a fun British children's game show that first aired on February 13, 2017. It's hosted by Sara Forsberg and made by Twenty Twenty Kids for CBBC.
In the show, three kids from all over the United Kingdom connect through webcams. They play different games and challenges to win points called 'Samojis'. It's all about having a laugh and showing off your skills from home!

How the Game Works
In each episode, three contestants (except for special sibling episodes) play games, do activities, and answer quizzes. They earn points called 'Samojis'. The host, Sara Forsberg, can also give out 'Samojis' if someone does something super funny or for other good reasons.
The winner of the show gets a cool Remotely Funny jumper. The other contestants don't go home empty-handed! They win other Remotely Funny stuff, like a memory stick or a highlighter. In the second series, the runners-up even got a special cap!
Fun Games You Play
Between the main games, Sara often asks a contestant a funny question about their family. This adds to the fun and lets everyone learn a bit more about the players.
Bedroom Bonanza
In this game, Sara describes an item, like "something you would never want to give away." The contestants then have to quickly find something in their own bedroom that matches the description. The first person to get back with their item wins 3 'priceless' Samojis. Sara might also give extra Samojis if someone picks a really clever or funny item. For example, if the task was "something you'd bring to a desert island" and someone brought a water bottle, they'd get a bonus point!
Toilet Takedown
This round has two parts. First, Sara asks a trivia question, like "How many toilets does Wembley Stadium have?" Contestants write their answer on toilet paper. The person with the closest guess wins points.
In the second part, Sara shows a video on LooTube (a funny name for YouTube). She then asks what the contestants think will happen next in the video. The first person to flush their toilet gets to answer!
Food Flash
Get ready to cook! Sara shows the contestants a picture of a Finnish food dish. Then, the contestants must try to make that dish themselves. The winner is the one whose dish looks the most like the real thing. They also have to use ruskeakastike, which is a Finnish gravy and one of Sara's favorite foods. There's even a bonus Samoji if they can get their parents to try their creation!
Kitchen Lol-lympics
This game was added in Series 2. Contestants have to complete different tasks right in their kitchen to earn Samojis. It's all about kitchen chaos and fun challenges!
Meet the Family (Remotely Funny Families)
This round involves the contestants' parents! They might have to finish the lyrics to a famous song. Or, they might use pedometers and try to get the most steps while dancing. These funny moments are often played again and again for laughs.
The Decider (Say What You See Moji)
This is the final round where the winner is chosen! Sara shows the contestants a set of 'see mojis'. These are like picture puzzles that represent a famous saying, a movie, or something else. The contestants have to figure out what the 'see mojis' mean. After this, Sara reveals who the winner is!
