“They say of the Acropolis…” is just like “hardtack” on Tasting History. It does not and will never get old!!! 😂😂😂
I'm tempted to get "they say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is" tattooed on me now. It's up there with Kevin Bridges's horse story on WILTY.
@@squee599 OMG, that’s a great one, too: “two Scottish guys trying to speak English.” I fall over every time he says that!!
I've seen this numerous times over the years and it always sets me off...laughing like a hyena...one of their best moments.
This is easily (I'm American, so I didn't watch these live and don't know the whole series) THE BEST segment yet!!!!!,......I belted out laughing, it was so natural and hilarious!!!!!!!
@squee599 if you're ever in Pennsylvania in America, I will give you that tattoo for FREE, no joke!!!!!!,......
Rob’s exhalation of relief after sounding his buzzer 8:02 Priceless.
I realize that after watching these guys for several years that I love them all.
I'm retired now, and the job I had necessitated that I travel extensively, mostly in Europe but not exclusively, which I did for over 40 years. I am Scottish and from the Isle of Skye originally, and when I was first hired for the job I was told by my manager to lose my Jock accent when abroad as I would not be taken seriously or be understood with my broad Scottish accent. This was the early 80s you understand when PC was not a thing yet, I thankfully ignored his advice after a short time and found to my pleasant surprise that I was greeted with far more friendliness when I spoke naturally to people in my "Jock accent" than in some unnatural enunciation that resembled Mrs Doubtfire.
😇🥰😇🇬🇧
19:49: Oh yeah, hoping that was in this series. "They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is..."
What do you mean? What do they say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is?
@@Bajeeebus He's gonna say! He's gonna say!
@@markloveless1001 What did he say? What did he say??
@@Bajeeebus
They say of the Acropolis,
where the Parthenon is ........
absolutely hilarious and priceless.
I love it. ❤❤❤😂😂😂
"Bloody hell, Stephen, this better be good".
42:39 i love how you can hear an audience member shout “NO” when Stephen says the edge of a record spins faster than the centre
Not sure why he said no. I used to go on foot drill exercises when I was a St John Ambulance cadet. When ever we turned during marching, we had to keep our paces synchronized, so the rank on the inside of the turn had to reduce their pace distance, while the outer rank had to widen.
@@berniethekiwidragon4382same reason cars have differentials. So the outside wheel can spin faster than the inside wheel during a turn.
Even though the record spins at a constant speed, the velocity of the stylus is higher at the outer edge (or beginning) of the record than it is toward the center.
@@johnreynolds5383 the stylus has no velocity it is stationery. The record has one constant rotational speed. But different points on the record move at different speeds as they cover greater or lesser distances, wilst tracing they're path.
@@edwards8383 *stationary
Who agrees that the Olympics would be far more interesting if they included an regular person to compete alongside the professionals to compare against. It would be far more fun.
And if some of the old events were brought back? Lol. Power Boat racing? Duelling? (Wax bullets)
They have taken the elitism too far.
If you’re going to quote Bill Murray, at least have the decency to cite him by name.
olympics is not about having fun. its showing off the best of the best of their respective sports.
you dont watch wrestling in the olympics, you’d watch WWE instead.
You used to have to be an amateur to compete in the Olympics, but not these days.
I am enjoying all all the great QI shows.❤❤❤
Good for you.
NIce to see Jimmy Carr when he looked liked Jimmy Carr. This was a great compilation too.
I have to say the guys look damn dapper during the Queen Victoria/ 34:30 Mr Bean section. Sean was dashing with that helmet.
When one side of my family came over having the last name "Johnson" at a time when so many were entering America with the same last name... they were advised to change their last name. So they did. I think it was brilliant

😅
lPl😅
@@michaelevans8868not sure what you mean
I knew what General Sedgewick said. That was great.
For my friends across the pond, Hiram Ulysses Grant was his given name. The guy signing him into West Point got it wrong, and Grant was too shy to correct him. It is often given as 'Simpson', but that was a retro fit.
That's so cute
Thankyou I shall tuck that away to hopefully win a bar tab one day!
People called him Sam, but he became Uncle Sam.
Harry S Truman's middle name also stood for nothing
@@joshuarubin3684 I have resisted for days, but that's all I can stan and I can't stan no more.
The S was in his given name and it was quite deliberate, honoring both his grandfathers, both whose name began with 'S'. Grant's was a flub, Harry's was deliberate. If you are not an American, understandable. If you are, the principal wants to see you in his office right this minute. Sheesh.
But what do they say about the akropolis?
where the Parthenon iiiiissss
The weird thing is they don’t say that about the acropolis - they say it about the Parthenon itself. So the whole silly line was totally unnecessary. Thank goodness the Qi writers didn’t know that, because I’ve never laughed so hard in my life.😂
Ah, SuperPol is indeed a learned person, because the Greeks WOULD have used a kappa.
@@annwagner5779isn't the entire thing an acropolis and the building is the Parthenon. There's more than one acropolis.
@@Pagliacci_Rex that’s right. But it’s the Parthenon specifically that has no straight lines - not the whole acropolis in Athens. I’m an art historian and we learn that fact (or supposition) about no straight lines in our first classes.
Keep these videos coming. Class
They say of the acropolis where the Parthenon is! What do they say what do they say!
QI is the greatest show ever made. Stephen, Bill, Alan, Sean and Rich were the funniest panel 😅
I’m so relieved to know that there are no smashed badgers in house dust. Thank you Jeremy.
The communicating as explorers and native Americans is pure IQ gold
If you, can, find the footage of Eric the Eel at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The crowd went wild, cheering him on. On a TV interview, one spectator said that he thought he might have to jump in and save him.
When i drove trains for British Rail, they were fitted with "Westinghouse" brakes.
11:17 - 11:23
*current* of 6600 *V* ?
I know I saw that episode probably multiple times before and I don't think I've noticed that error before.
Whoops
It could've been worse. They could've said amperage. 😉
Regarding the spies stealing documents used as toilet paper...
... I first heard of that in the Dennis Potter series - "Lipstick On Your Collar"...
Where Ewan McGregor's character (and his characters' colleagues) has to translate Russian documents that have come to the MOD precisely in the manner described here.
Dalia Farmer. The look on his face.
Miss you Sean.
"A second arse"!!! Epic!!!
57:03 Who the devil worked on the aspect ratios here!?
Its funny that Westinghouse was associated with A/C current, yet when i drove trains for BR there was a westinghouse braking system fitted on our epbs (electro pneumatic brake) yet we drove on the third rail D/C system.
10:32~10:38 Topsy was an animal rights activist, a fallen hero😢
48:36 Bill Bailey's Spice Girls reference there, fantastic 😂😂
Grant's name in a bio I read was Hiram Ulysses Grant and it was the thing to put your initials on your trunk when going to West Point. He didn't want it to be HUG so he adopted his brother's name of Simpson.
Just watching this , when trying to polish the glass dome… I’ve recently played around with engraving on glass and apparently a rubber or silicone burr will polish back to a clear (er) finish .. love that find though👍
Those polar explorers technically didn't use only their own power during that trip: If you define an "external power" to be anything beyond what sheer human effort can do, and I doubt that definition would be even remotely controversial. One of the forms of skiing they used was "kite skiing", which is basically what it sounds like: If you have a tailwind, you can fly a kite ahead of you, a bit like the sport of "kite-surfing". Which is basically flying a large "power kite" while standing on a surfboard, which generates enough force to propel the board and rider across the water at respectable speeds. This can even lift the board and rider several metres up into the air if the wind speed is high enough.
Anyway, if you can fly a power kite of similar size and design while on skis, the same force generated by the kite can propel at least one skier to similar speeds, or can even propel the whole group if they can tether themselves together, albeit at lower speeds. So if they were using the kite skiing technique (which Rupert Lonsdon explicitly told us that they did), that would have been a supplementary power source. Which could arguably be described as a mechanical power source, since it did provide a propulsive force - it just so happens that the energy source to make it work is one of the best known renewable sources - the wind.
My dad was an Irish Navi, he'd spend 10 hours grafting, 10 hours drinking and 4 hours sleeping.
He lived on alcohol, cigarettes and lard yet was as strong as an ox and fitter than most men half his age.
The photo of the railway workers is not period correct as the first railways were narrow gauge and that photo is standard wide gauge!
12:48 -- 15:14.... there's a better ironic death than any of those... strange it was not included.. or discovered by the research team...
The guy that "coined the term" ""Organic ""was on live tv one day doing an interview at age 70- something and life longevity was raised as a topic... and the guy says... something like..... "You know, I never thought I'd live as long as 70?(something)... (his interview age)... but now I am here.... I have never felt better in my life and I have decided I am going to live until I am 100! " they laugh.... interview wraps up.... he walks off set.... has a heart attack and dies 😮 still in the studio lol... CRAZY!!!
Why'd you cut out the rabbit bit in the Winterval clip? They showed it in the QI Christmas Compliation.
43:40 Sean is the goat ❤
57:05 - someone forgot to right-click fit to comp size.
Eton is near Slough?! One area two worlds.
4:42: Great Train Robbery FOILED
@31:28
I was 16 when I visited Mademoiselle Liberté- the day Reagan got shot.
It’s very wrong of me I know, but living on beer and meat sounds wonderful.
I’d probably crave veggies thought. Maybe add potatoes and gravy?
yeah, you'd think the vitamin deficency would kick in after a while. Not to mention, Irishmen? And no taties?!
One carrot a day would go a long way
i'm sure one of the crew on 'time team' tried it (archeology student)
only for twenty four hours, while also trying to dig and carry dirt in a navvy type way, but got on with it quite well.. 🙂 😉
Actually, 1st people to circumnavigate the world were the huge galleons of the Chinese in 1412. They knew about scurvy and carried potted lime trees. There you go!
Elephants are such magnificent animals. I can't imagine the poor things misery and horrific death.
9:35 They'll say "Aww Topsy" at my autopsy...
The word 'Funniest' followed by the Topsie The Elephant story is just....
14:38 Did I just hear the same laugh in this episode that plagued the most recent episode, Series U episode 7: Ufology?..
I'm glad the American on the panel knew that Squanto spoke English.
It’s a pretty famous fact about Squanto.
for anyone that thinks the potential Russian names are weird.. remember we name our kids after emotions and the Japanese call them after stations like Hime or Princess. Yoshi, a boys name means joy. So it's not as weird as one might think.
Who is the guy with glasses at 1:24:38?
Strange that no one mentions the subliminal game Stephen plays when introducing the pilgrims and what they said ,,,he makes a grand pause and says HOW did they first communicate?
No one fell for it and it gets forgotten…
You in the effort to shrink the image, but left in the end of video clip. Why?
Oh and you put in the same clip twice too.
The girl behind the ice guy is effing cute.
53:25 Is David Mitchel predicting the "Miracle on the Hudon" plane crash?
Slough is in Berkshire not Buckinghamshire !
Dude seriously at 1:01:15 seconds, Steven introduced us the moon sex the first time
any new videos out soon
Why is there no grass on the highest mountain? Everest double grazing!
Surely the first animals to be herded for food would have been mammoths..?
As much as I love Eddie the Eagle's spirit and determination, I do think the Olympics should belong to athletes who've trained extensively and are of the elite. It might not be quite as entertaining, but when it comes to athletics, I think most viewers want to see the best of the best.
Including amateurs doesn't exclude others. It's all about the money and political penis measuring.
He just missed out on selection for the GB Olympic ski team. He desperately wanted to be an Olympic athlete and started training for the ski jump.
They laugh at hanging an elephant but it happened here in Tennessee.
What hasn't happened in Tennessee 😅 (a Minnesotan now living in Missouri 😂)
@@thequokkahaslanded321 I’m sure plenty of things haven’t. But not not hanging an elephant bc we’ve done that.
Fellow Tennessean... Did not know that!
@@glyph68 it’s horrific but I’m still impressed they sussed out a way to do it.
@@amberswafford9305 I can't imagine being on site. Appalling. Why hang an elephant? If it's gone berserk, put it down fast. Hanging? I have a real problem with "humanity."
Correction. 40:20
1:09:20 La Cote D'Ivorie. I don't know how to type the "o" with a circomflex.
Côte, on your mobile phone press on the letter o and hold down...all the diacritics appear...
Is that how pub songs are made?
I love the story about the handler in the zoo telling Bill to ALWAYS approach from the front. Oh no sorry NEVER ! 51 minutes
Stephen confuses Ulysses Simpson Grant (né Hiram Ulysses Grant) with Harry S Truman.
Nikola Tesla should have been mentioned here.
What is at the end of the earth...
_Telford Town Centre_
That is the most random thing I've ever heard..
And being from Telford, its even weirder 👀
@25:45
And zebras!
The reason they have seat belts on some flights is so. In case there is an accident, they can identify your body!
And full stops generally do not appear mid sentence unless said sentence contains an abbreviation!
The reason they have seat belts on some flights is so that they can identify your body.
3:09 Oh the humanity!
Herbert Morrison thanks you.
I'm sure we all thank you.
Please, add subtitles!
I've one attached and the other un attached lob.
And neither has an e, eh?
I want to find someone who looks at me the way the girl behind the South Pole explorer looks at him
There is a stuffed dog on thè platform àt slough
Why.?
I am sorry, but have I missed something please.?
Space lift: how many moving parts?
It works maybe if nothing got broken. But it will.
Then just a disaster.
THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD IS MAONA KEA
Did Rhoal Dahl get the idea of the chocolate river from French sewers?
Roald Dahl.
@@SpeccyMan thanks, I was doubtful of my spelling lol
Any ideas out of robert heinlien
Dear Moaning Mins, if you dont like the personalities, dont watch the prog! Simple!! 😂
Who here's watching without a TV license?
I’m watching without a TV
@@olivercox2565 Respect.
TV License?? What’s that?
Who here cannot correctly spell TV Licence?
@@SpeccyMan Me 😢
Why do we so little of Phil Jupitus these days.? He will always be Billy Bragg's roadie to me
missed out the word *see there
Where a wearby Barky
9:33 From all the anecdotes I've heard, Edison was a complete prick.
50:14 IINM, the same is true with dogs, cats and pigs (and I guess any mammal with patterned fur).
Including humans.
Stephen looks like an old woman in that thumbnail.
But he... 😅
I miss Fry. Better with him. Sandi's ok.
I love both of them,they both make us laugh,wonderful people.❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤
Chubby little Jimmy Carr
This caused Jimmy Carr
Seagull. 😅
what olympics? no such thing
Love the way you did this podcast n your words. I can see also in other times, you try to be as constructive as you can in your comments. You try to be fair n I appreciate that abt you. Love watching your podcasts! Keep it going, ignore the bad comments. ❤
They put the elephant to death? :| Yuck
No mention of Darlington to Stockton Or George Stephenson during railways.. That is southern bullshit right there.
I enjoyed that. I really think you need to ditch the RP route and choose a location. Your speech sounds like the "proper" English taught in European schools and and such most encounters with that speech are with such individuals. RP has left most media these days so the average audience on Omegle will not have been exposed to it much. That and the non flowing speech pattern that you worked on were the two give away to my ears. That and maybe clothing etc and environmentally didn't scream British
Pretty sad watching all the “EU making us do straight bananas and hairnets for fisherman” things today
Too many ads, not watching.
Kick in for TH-cam Premium then. Trivial, but oh how worth it.l
I really would like to know why Jimmy Carr irritates me so, just with his presence.
He’s mostly that annoying guy who always makes a sex joke, but he can come up with some good lines from time to time.
You're intolerant?
Can my girlfriend and I get married on youe train please Sir Stephen?
Better ask her first!
They should've got rid of Davies years ago..!!And that fuckin klaxon!!!!
Still using the same brocken video file as last time you psoted this brocken collection I see.
Still not got auto correct on your device to stop you mis-spelling broken (twice) and mis-typing posted I see.
@@NoxiousRob Oh, the irony. Neither misspelling nor mistyping are hyphenated!
The sound is uneven. Any chance of fixing that?
All sound is uneven.
I don’t believe that someone wouldn’t feel a writing implement going over their fingers.
QI was much better before Sandi "Toxic"!
That is not nice.😢😢
The pling comes before the closing quote mark.
