“You’re struggling toward being interesting” is a fantastic insult!
Love that Stephen immediately understood the Latin in reference to the Pope story.
I was surprised he wasn;'t already aware of it.
It's a good story but complete and utter nonsense
@@danielnixon8416 Not the worst thing those lot have done.
Didn't they later ascertian the story is a myth?
He spoke Latin in Blackadder Back and Forth
I love these early episodes. I miss Sean Locke and Jeremy Hardy. RIP gentlemen.
Never agreed more with anything in my life ❤
"Again your brimming with the thought that fills the room, but no". What a put down! It's beautiful!
Why don’t all the people who complain here just stop watching. It’s perfectly acceptable to move on if you don’t like it, I for one don’t care what you think, move on, personally I love this programme.
Me too.❤❤❤❤❤
Perfectly put!
I like to complain about people complaining about people complaining, and wonder why you would read comments if you don't care what people think. This seems a perfectly legitimate place to express sadness over the change in the show. 😝🤪
@@isaacislaughter I’m not complaining, just telling people like you to move on….calmly
@@jeantillotson4091 lol telling "people like you" to move on? That's pretty funny.
Your hubris is staggering.
A. You absolutely are complaining.
B. Who do you think you are telling me anything?
Move on yourself. 😁
Goodbye.
Be well.
The best part of QI is the panelists slowly driving Stephen insane.
He's like a teacher in a classroom and all the students are the class clown.
The part with the lava lamps and then Ronny and Jimmy going "sir, sir, sir!" is one of my favorites. Peak classroom vibes.
Only fry could deliver this level of English toff and get away with it. Legend.
Points to Stephen for translating Latin of the top of his head
"You're struggling towards being interesting" is the most hilarious put-down I've heard in ages.
I could listen to Stephen Fry intone for hours. In fact, I’ve done just that for one. 🎉
Not a particular fan of Harry Potter... But i Audibled the lot just because he read them and now i'm a bloody fan LOL. The fact he Did the Sherlock Holmes: Definitive Collection almost made me cry.. What a joy to combine Fry and the stories of Sir ACD.. WoW.
I love both Stephen and Sandi,they are great in there own way. Thank you to both of them❤❤❤
*their*. For Christ's sake
I often use Og the Clever as a D&D character name. Thanks for that one, Bill.
I find your choice very pleasing.
Bill Bailey has had the most guest appearances on the show.
Bill Bailey = 47
Phill Jupitus = 46
Jimmy Carr = 42
Jo Brand = 41
David Mitchell = 32
Sean Lock = 27
Rich Hall = 25
It drops off quickly after that.
Did Bill pass him up? Phil got a plaque for the most appearances a couple seasons ago.
@@Pagliacci_Rex I'm unsure as to what the answer is to that. I took the figures from Wikipedia.
The description says Billy Connelly had a guest appearance on the show as well. I'm not sure who they are confusing for Billy Connelly, but I'm pretty sure he was never a guest on QI.
@@gladtobeangry
You're right, he certainly wasn't and there wasn't anyone with a similar name in series A, it should probbably say Bill Bailey.
Wow, Jupitus 46 times & he hasn't ever made me crack the smallest grin.
5:45 "The largest thing it has to swallow is its pride."
Crazy to see Gyles Brandreth on the QI episode talking about what rhymes with purple knowing now he has a podcast with Susy Dent called "Something Rhymes with Purple"
Oooo Dent has a podcast
@@PianoKwanMan Oh yea and they have a ton of episodes at this point. Its absolutely wonderful.
40:46 David Mitchell and Robert Webb did a skit of that on one of their comedy sketch shows. Just describing James Bond and his behavior as if he's just some guy and it really highlights what a weirdo he is to the average person when you don't know about the cars, guns and espionage.
PLEASE COME BACK STEPHEN!! Miss it so much!😭😭😭
Don't worry you will get to love Sandi too.❤❤❤❤
4:50 I like how Stephen Fry can understand Latin
12:08 There's a frog in North Haven, CT in the US that sounds like a woman shrieking in terror and pain. The 1st time I heard it I panicked and had to be talked down by locals.
Thank you comedians.......makes live worth living
And Hugh laurie! Get sir Tony Robinson then you have Blackadder one of my favorite!
"That was a dream" 😂😂
So miss Steven Fry.
I thought I’d missed news of him passing away for a second, before I realised what you meant 😂
Why not learn Stephen's name and then you can miss him properly ?
52:54 Joe brands joke there was subtle and underrated
I wasn't expecting to see the dad from Saltburn again today, so thank you Robert E. Grant.
Richard
I bloody love these compilations!!!
I wait with baiter breath for more.
Thank you
I recently discovered British comedy. Are You Being Served and Faulty Towers were my introduction.
Baiter breath ehehe fishy.
Red Drawf is a space faring British cult classic if you like that kind of thing. Bottom is more like a live action, disgusting, vulgar Tom & Jerry. Can't go wrong with Monty Python and Not The 9 o'clock News either, funny stuff 😂
@@Glenn-F-Rice 'Allo 'Allo
Black Adder
The Young Ones
Filthy Rich and Catflap
@@Glenn-F-RiceAbsolutely Fabulous & Little Britain are also very funny.
@@Glenn-F-Ricethere’s also Are You Being Served Again? From the 90s. Not quite the same but still fun! AYBS? Is my all time favorite show.
I bloody love these compilations!!!I wait with baiter breath for more.Thank you. Make it easy to remember: SPA, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle..
*bated breath
@@sophitsa79 he's a master- baiter
Stephen: I won't insult you by asking you who painted this
Alan 5 minutes later: Who painted that picture?
I can't make my mind up if i'm watching QI or the Alan Davis show
I might have done better in school if Stephen Fry had been teaching all my classes!
Quite possibly the worst Kermit the frog impression I’ve ever heard😂
godamn look how young they are
3:04 Leighton Buzzard mentioned 🔥🔥🔥
Sessions always wanna show off his knowledge, and I think that is charming.
You included the diamond clip twice. Second one is at 43:06, first one is somewhere before then.
20:15
Two words that rime with purple:
Her pool
In Australia we have the motorbike frog 🐸 🏍 and yes they do sound like one
The sound you think is eagle, is red tail hawk. Also used by Hollywood so much that it is now the sound of an eagle.. And.. tigers do not sound like they do in movies. And if you hear a bone snapping, that is wooden sticks or celery stalks being snapped, head smash is a pumpkin or a melon being hit with a bat etc. If you listen them eyes closed, you can often hear what they actually are, bit the moment you see it being associated with some action on screen, your head decides to combine the two. McGurk effect also demonstrates how easy it is to fool your ears, which is always funny to show to an audiophile who has no formal training whatsoever and claims they can hear things at quantum level..
Bongo Is also the nickname for a stream locomotive
How to open jars - hit the bend of the lid (where it bends from the top down the side) hard with the back of a butter knife. It breaks the seal and the lid can be unscrewed easily.
I give it the knocks on the benchtop and opens every time. I'm not married.
@@sophitsa79 The knife is quicker
I just open it.
If the lid is metal, run it under the hot tap for 20 seconds - it will expand faster than the glass jar and open easily.
@@tc2486 The knife is much quicker. You don't need hot water or the sink. Because all you need is the back of any ordinary knife you can do it at the table if you're at breakfast needing marmalade for your toast. No need to get up and go to the kitchen. Just use the same knife you'll use to spread the marmalade.
The canal jumper was Joseph Darby
"the United Stated of so on..." 😂😂😂
Its not easy being green!
Leave it to Alan "silly jism"😂
I knew that little bit about a newly-elected Pope. I think there is a scene in the tv series, "The Borgias" where this ritual is performed! I can't recall if there was just one of the Cardinals performing the "inspection" or whether it was several.
It isn't true though. The whole Pope Joan story was debunked centuries ago, and there's no evidence that this ritual ever happened even in medieval times. Gyles Brandreth should really know better.
What about a Bose-Einstein condensate?
Eau de Nil would have been ' nice ' 🤣🤣🤣
Nah!! Bongo "The bongo is classified as Lower Risk/ Near Threatened by IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed in Appendix III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES)."
Why is the diamond clip in there twice?
Pluto should be a planet again, since they discovered the complexity of it's surface during the fly by. The whole thing of declassifying it as a planet was a smear campaign started by Clyde Tombaugh's rival from pure jealousy, once Tombaugh died. Pluto needs its planet status back!
What does the complexity of its surface have to do with making it a planet.
Make it easy to remember: SPA, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle.
And Pliny?
@@SunnyIntervalsORGWhich one?
Then Giles Extemporaneous Trivia Rex
@@SunnyIntervalsORG We were discussing Greek philosophers. Pliny the Elder and Younger were Roman.
Stephen Fry is so hot on QI
Scunthorpe was banned by various search engines some 30 years ago because they had a rude word filter.
One of my favourite football jokes is about them.
"Which three teams have swear words in their names?
Arsenal, Scunthorpe, and Fucking Manchester United".
doesn´t whirlpool rhyme with purple??
Only if you are really 🏴 🤣👍
Is that Gyles? Jesus!!!
If people think Alan Davies isn’t funny and Stephen Fry is entirely insufferable…WHY ARE YOU WATCHING QI!!?? 😅🤷♀️
go find your joy (elsewhere)!
Sad that we really can’t watch the earlier series outside of the UK. DAMN YOU BBC!
Love these early episodes were the other 3 panelists tried their best to give semi sensible answers and then you just had Alan driving Stephen mad with his class clown antics, problem was everyone saw how many laughs Alan was getting and started stealing his schtick and pretty soon Alan was playing the sensible one
In Russia they found where a meteor hit a carbon deposit. Instant diamonds
We should fly a kite with a really long string. I love this show, and I'm happy to have stumbled across it. Keep calm and carry on. I love you guys. An American.
Oh, my dear person, we can tell.
Your nation really has such a ridiculous need to proclaim its origins to as many as possible, it's pathetic.
I myself did not mean to go so far
George Carlin was fantastic. But who has taken up his sword and shield ?
You're a bit slow fella. Series U is on right now
The bit about light being invisible is such an odd thing for them to have said. Sure light isn't visible if it's going somewhere other than into you eye, but everything you see is light. It's like saying that sound is inaudible (unless it goes into your ear)
He literally said you can see when it hits things.
How many game show hosts can mutter 'but he preferred to take it up the gary glitter' so stylishly?
2:55
1:09:20~1:09:26
😂😂😂🏅🏅🏅
Quote: "I'm giving him 3 points for that", as if anyone in the show cared for points :-)
BTW, Spunk isn't chewing gum
I’d say the drink ‘The Bradford’ would be two parts vodka, one part rogan josh
Mohs Scale, after Friederich Mohs. Not “Moh Scale,” nor “Moh’s scale.”
Mohorovicic not Mohs
If it’s named after Friederich Mohs, shouldn’t it be Mohs’ scale?
man made electric light can be seen from the moon ...... maybe ?
Henry 8th - invented gas lighting . .
Who is the gentleman at 13:00, in the white shirt?
Also I thought forage rhymed with orange.
Dave Gorman 🙂
@@peejay6930 Thank you. He seemed familiar, I realized I had seen him on Taskmaster.
Forage... oraNge yeah, not to me😂
😂
They suspect there may be another planet
41:16~41:23🏅🏅🏅
Stephen is filled with knowledge that no one needs to hear. I prefer Sandi
Congratulations on giving an opinion no one asked for
Sad you feel that way ,very sad.😢
... "I wonder how many testicles a buzzard has."
.
1 arrow and a rummage later ...
.
... "Well I'm surprised ... I thought there'd be three."
Maybe somewhere out there
ITS ABOUT TIME STEPHEN FRY SACKED HIS TAILOR
Turtle rhymes with purple
Half rhyme
Lol turple may but turtle doesn't.
How come folks don't understand what a "rhyme" is here?😂😂
52:38 - I'm dying to know what Jo said here after "SenF***ingSational", but I can't understand her...
Scunthorpe
@@seanrainbow6506 I guess you have to be british...
The word 'cunt' is within the word 'Scunthorpe'@@fretlessman71
It's the name of a town here. Also contains a swear word in the middle
lol silly jizm
Can someone please explain the 'Pinto'-joke Alan Davies makes at 27:20?
Not entirely sure what "pinto" has to do with being small besides its similarity to "pint" or "pint-sized", but that seems to be the context he's using it in because he's referring to the "crude(ly)" drawn penises.
Turtle and murtel
they are generic rhymes, not true rhymes. In a generic rhyme the vowel sounds are identical, while the consonants are not exactly identical, but belong generically to the same phonetic group.
Aye hate they cut out sum real words... Otha than that, great show...
Alan Davies, something funny is very quick. Something you need to keep churning out for four minutes is just fucking tedious.
A-ris-to-TE-les.
That's how they pronounce it in Greece.
That doesn't make pronunciation clearer at all. 😂
Are you saying Atisto-teh-les? Or Aristo-tee-les? 🙃
A-rist the Greek? 😅
@@bfudge7963or just Ari.
@buggyboogle9 smashed it
Thanks, pumpkin. That clears everything right up.
..he preferred to take it up the "Gary Glitter" 25:45 ..pretty sure the production team didn't pick up on that one!
a capital A is the difference - just saying
Stephen actually thinks he speaks Dutch. It's hilarious.
Your opinion is noted. Obviously from the reaction, we enjoyed Stephen... but please😂 go on...
@@thequokkahaslanded321 He doesn't speak Dutch. That's not my opinion. Are you always this easy to trigger?
@@gertstronkhorst2343 you believe someone laughing at your opinion is "being triggered"?🤣🤣 Spend less time on social media mate, you are suffering from the "spotlight effect" as Sandi taught us🤣🤣 Unless you control my income or my future, you have no hold over me being "triggered"... carry on, carrion🤣🤣🤟🇵🇸🇸🇱🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🦋
@@thequokkahaslanded321 You really take time out of your day to do this? Go do something useful. You won't convince me you're the cool guy you seem to think you are.
@@gertstronkhorst2343 1. I'm female, so good. 2. Again, if you read my comment, your opinion of me means little, just like your opinion of Stephen. 3. "Took time out" yet you do the same... we here call that "the pot calling the kettle black" 🤣 as you doing it then insulting me for doing the same is quite immature parenting 🤣🤣
Jeez 25.50- could “preferred to take it up the Gary glitter” have aged any worse as a euphemism for “gay”?
Not that familiar with it myself but it sounds like it's probably cockney rhyming slang for sh*tter lmao
I’m wondering if there’s any way to counteract the effects of having to wear an ugly, hot and scratchy blue uniform to work every day? Also, I didn’t hear anything about what to »spray on my clothes » as the title states?
TIL the British loved the term “redskin…”
How difficult is it to not repeat bits?
John Sessions seems like he goes from interesting to insufferable quite quickly.
Dead young, poor fellow
Supposedly he was the one who requested and received the questions ahead of time, so... yeah...
Not to speak ill of the dead (but I mean hey, fuck 'em they can't complain), but "insufferable" seems quite apt.
@@Lucifronz yeah, I wasn't aware he'd passed. I always took that saying to refer to people waiting till someone was dead to talk smack about them.
@@Lucifronz I think that it was Rory McGrath who wanted to see the questions beforehand.
Funny, I found it hilarious and endearing... and thank you all for pointing out yourselves. You must be perfect.😂😂
Women buy tools to open jars now. So we can happily live alone
Good god. I know the scientific community finds all this interesting. But, what kinda person chooses the MOST boring color as the color of the universe?! Beige. I’d be fine with Eggshell, or even light latte cream. But, BEIGE. Is the universe part of an HOA now?!
That's Allah 😂
@@aoulipa4165 no it’s not.😂 it’s just people SO bored and sniffing TOO many chemicals. That they think to themselves. “What color is the universe?”
“BEIGE.”
“Yes!”
its ewar woowar
not ewar woowoo
say it out loud
Thank you, guy who needs to live a life of a jedi because his own is too boring... we would never have lived without you correcting that😂
Too bad for the guy eagerly telling his Pope story that the story is bollocks.
Some people can lick there own elbow.
That would be me.
Many years ago, in the early 80s I believe, someone told Alan Davies (at a party) that everything he says is utterly hilarious. Sadly, he believed them.
Obviously someone told you the same, cupcake 😂
And your mother told you the other kids didn’t want to play with you because they were jealous of how smart you are. But we all get lied to, don’t we
Allen Davis , Never knows when the Joke is Over . He keeps it up long after it has Stopped being Funny .
I love Alan but I agree with you Sometimes I just wish he would shut up.
I always wonder how much QI would have been without Alan Davis, Jo Brand, Sarah Millican, Teri Hatcher, and Lee Mack.
In nearly every video, Rob Brydon is one of the most tedious people on television.
So glad they got rid of those awful cards!
