Mel B swapped judging panels for a comedy panel on Boxing Day as she took part in Channel 4's Big Fat Quiz Of The Year 2014.
But the former Spice Girl's appearance had viewers wanting to vote her off because her uncomfortable interactions with team mate Micky Flanagan and the rest of the comedians on the show.
Radio presenter Toby Anstis tweeted: 'That Mel B's a barrel of laughs?! Poor Micky Flanagan, it could have been so much fun.....with anyone but (sic)'.
Humourless: Twitter was left enraged by Mel B's appearance on The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year
Unimpressed: Radio DJ Toby Anstis was one of the first to complain about The X Factor judge
British Olympic long-jumper Greg Rutherford was another viewer unimpressed with Mel's humourless appearance.
'Mel B is utter crap on Big fat quiz of the year,' wrote the London 2012 gold medal winner.
The rest of the public had Mel B's name trending on Twitter as they posted critiques of the X Factor judge.
'So Mel B is literally the most unfunny person and is ruining #BigFatQuizofTheYear. More @SarahMillican75 please,' wrote one user.
Not a winner: British Olympic long-jumper Greg Rutherford was another viewer unimpressed with Mel's humourless appearance
Awkward: Mel didn't seem to get the humour of the comedians on the show, or her team mate Micky Flanagan
Another tweeter said: 'Mel B seems really outta place here. Nothing against her, I know she's been ill and that.'
Mel B took a while to warm up to the other guest and sometimes seemed as though she didn't understand their humour.
At the beginning of the show comedy actor and director Richard Ayoade joked abut the show being a marathon and produced a banana.
'This is a marathon Mel have you got a Lucozade?' the Submarine director asked.
Mel replied: 'No I've got peppermint tea and a diet coke.'
Uncomfortable? Jimmy Carr made it pretty obvious he was flummoxed by Mel when she asked if she could ask the audience for help
Trending: The hashtag #MelB was one of the top UK topics on Twitter during Boxing Day night
'Well I'll be quipping right til the final adverts,' Richard replied, to which the X Factor judge said, 'you know you are a little bit weird.'
She also made it clear that she wouldn't be laughing at jokes made about The X Factor or her new BFF Cheryl Fernandez-Versini when Jimmy Carr made fun of the singing competition.
As Jimmy spoke Mel covered her ears and wore a sour face, telling the host to 'keep it moving'.
Later in the show Mel seemed to think she was on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? as she asked Jimmy 'can I ask an audience member?'
HIlarious: David Mitchell and Richard Ayoade proved to be great bookings for the annual comedy quiz show
Funny guys! Kevin Bridges and Sarah Millican were also a team on the Channel Four show
After telling her no, Carr looked at the audience and mouthed to them: What the f**k? It's a quiz why would you ask an audience member?'
She later went back to criticising Richard and the way he ate his banana, though she couldn't quip back at his witty retort.
Mel said: 'I think the way that your eating it is kind of disturbing.'
'I think it's cause I'm kind of sexual,' the kooky IT Crowd star responded.
As the show continued, Mel did seem to lighten up though it doesn't look like she'll be invited back next year.
Disappointed fans will be happy to know that on January 2nd, Channel Four will show The Big Fat Anniversary Quiz with Jonathan Ross, Warwick Davis, Russell Brand, Jack Whitehall, Claudia Winkleman and Noel Fielding, to celebrate ten years of the show.
Cheered up: Mel eventually lightened up as the show continued
