We all have far better teeth than the Americans in the UK. We have far fewer veneers and caps or the need for braces. The so called good teeth in America mostly found in big cities and in the mouths of the privileged few who have medical insurance that have dental plans attached. Go else where in the U.S. And you will find people who's teeth make Gabby Hazed teeth look really good.In other words total Dental nightmares.
Theyre having a go at him for the dawn raid thing but i remember in the early 90s being in hospital for several weeks for something, me and another on our ward did that a few times on the hospital canteen. Got to find your own fun at times like that 😆

It can be constant joking and one-upmanship and one proves their character by being able to laugh to themselves when situation arises and someone makes a good joke about you when there is opportunity to do so (which is usually sign of balanced ego if one can make fun of themselves), so kind of like "pack of hyenas" but without the need to actually seriously devour/embarrass each others, and best situations are usually when one manages to counter the joke with another and everyone is having fun. It's certain kind of testing of characters in friendly spirits, if it would be actually nasty, there is other tone in it. Very similar as in here, ~99% of jokes are benevolent and the whole idea behind the show is people coming up jokes about subject they talk about, sometimes about each others and Fry is a good sport and can easily also laugh at himself if he happens to be butt of the joke at certain moment. Similarly as he pokes panelist when he gets the change (usually Alan but there have been numerous cases like e.g. with John Lock and Fry calling 'Nurse! Nurse, he’s out of bed again!' when Lock started talking about walking banana plants - in which Lock was right. But Fry was obviously poking fun at Lock).

Stephen fry is as much a national treasure as one could possibly be. The world would so much better off if there were more like him around. And Mr Christopher Hitchens too!
Fry has always been genuine and pleasant on top of being funny. When he has something to say it comes through a rational filter. Hitchens was contrarian lunatic for the last 20 years of his life. Never seen a person being respected for knowing absolutely nothing and talking absolute bollocks every time a camera was pointed at him.
I wish I could feel sympathy for him, but he brings it all on himself with his high-falutin ways. SMH 😉😊🤣🤣 BTW - for American viewers - that's facetious irony. 😉😊
well he's not really a comedian, he's more the entertainer type. So i don't relate him to humor really. I like him on a lot of his stuff, but i never saw him as funny on any panel shows or such.
Depends on the comedians and the subject matter, comedy being subjective and much of the best QI moments being on-the-spot improve and all. I'm surprised you didn't know that, if I'm honest. Seems really very rudimentary knowledge that only an absolute cretin wouldn't understand.

already talked about years ago. Funny women are hard to find, because growing up women don't have to be funny in order to attract men. Many men need humor and comedy to stand out, women don't. Then you think of the funny women you know, many of them are lesbians who weren't trying to attract men in the first place. There are some funny women, but in the ratio of funny men to funny women, women are FAR behind in numbers and there is a reason for that. They don't need to be funny.
He is. The reason they keep making pederast jokes around him is because it must in some sense be true, and he must justify it to himself by thinking of himself as a romantic and sophisticated erudite like Oscar Wilde or something
@@thesalanianIt's fairly well-known he goes for younger men. Fry's first husband was 12 years younger than him and then Fry left him to marry another guy who was 25 years younger. But they've always been in their 20s I believe, never younger.
Oh, is that how it works? So, by that logic, that must mean there's some truth in the running joke that Stephen grew up in a dickensian pantomime in the 19th century. You absolute cretin.

I think he said in an interview he would spend most of the time trying to screw with Stephen and he said the best way to do that is to flirt with him
@@G.A.M.E. I mean the sexual tension was palpable
I absolutely love Phil and you are spot on.
4:00 I like how Phil’s whole bit about the child buffing workshop took the focus off of Sarah being put on the spot about not wanting children.

Pretty sure this one is pilfered from the official QI channel
And please let them edit out that chronically unfunny Alan thing..
I love the voyage of the delicious turtles.
Bill Bailey’s double-take and Sean Locke’s astonished, “You had a tailor?” for me was _the quintessential moment_ of QI.
I love how Bill's like "Am I the weird person here" until Sean asks the question, after which point Bill starts grinning.
The beer goggles bit had me rolling.
I will never not laugh at "madeira pince-nez" and the "sherry monacle"🤣🤣🤣
I like how there's a pause of disbelief where everyone was like 'did i hear that right' for afew seconds after the prep-school bit, lol
Sandi’s a great host an all but i really do miss everyone taking the piss out of stephens poshness.
I agree. But I love it when Alan makes her cry with laughter.
Stephen Fry is a treasure
That last one had me in stitches. Love Stephen and the show (and super funny guests).

I hated him going on the show too
Heck, Phil has said he hated QI on several occasions while being on QI.
I've literally had this tab open in my browser all week. This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I shall never tire of the Acropolis bit. Never tire!
Bloody great. Think I’ve watched it from beginning to end about 50 times 🥰
5:02 Stephen: "British children have the best teeth on planet Earth".
Americans: "We'll just pretend like we didn't hear that..."
We all have far better teeth than the Americans in the UK.
We have far fewer veneers and caps or the need for braces.

I love the way Phill Jupitus riles Stephen up!
He said that he figured out fairly early on that all he had to do was flirt with Stephen or do impressions of him, and it would embarrass him.
That last bit will live forever in QI history.

Stephen is the best!

I remember watching the acropolis scene when it first aired and nearly hyperventilating 😂
i was driving a semi the first time i heard the 'acropolis' bit... had to pull over, i was laughing so hard i peed a bit
If anyone should live to be 120, it's Stephen.
At the end of the video, it would have been slightly more amusing if it had included the next few seconds when Stephen said "Bloody hell, that hurt."

Don't forget the "gin telescope"!
