This ends up with a bit called "How the Is This a Magazine?" which highlights magazines that are just plain bizarre and/or specialized. Infomania includes a segment called We've Got You Covered in which Connor Knighton rounds up the week's mainstream magazines and tabloids.Examples include Llama Link, The Doorknob Collector and The Barbed Wire Collector (the last of which team captain Paul Merton loudly insisted, for the entire round, couldn't possibly be a real magazine).
