"Who's gonna tell Pam she probably witnessed a duck?"
I just lost it.
🤣🤣
Funny as F'
Lost what?
It wasn't a duck I 'eard wot 'e said"
And he tops it of with the "To me it looks like you are just telling me to F off" XDD
I love how chaotic and unpredictable Johnny Vegas is. Nobody on the planet was expecting him to go from The Little Mermaid directly to Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech.
All that and he gave the correct answer.
That old piece of shit Powell wouldn’t have let the little mermaid in
I enjoy him the most of all the guests on QI. And you are right, Johnny Vegas is living proof of entropy.
Chaotic Good.
@@richardpaxford5792just like Enoch 😅
"This is what I think life would be like in a Nursing Home", gold.
You've obviously never been to a Nursing Home. Fucksake, I wish it WAS like that. Comedy fuckin gold.
the timing and delivery is so good as well
tiedyeeyes1992 I work in a Nursing Home , arguments like this do occur .
Hilarious
Gotta love Bill Bailey
I would pay money to just sit and listen to Johnny Vegas and Sean Lock talk about anything.

Bromance
Dude, I've never clicked a link faster in my life...
I'd pay money for that as well. Just not to the BBC.
We got a few non paying licence ass people up in here, ahhaa.
Sean Lock losing his shit is such a sweet thing to watch
Usually it's either Johnny Vegas or Joe Wilkinson. Because they're the only ones that present more bizarre scenarios than him.
Johhny is one of the few comic that can make Sean break his "character" of the straight man
@@hop-skip-ouch8798 Miles Jupp could do it as well
Oddly this was the first QI thing that came to mind after yesterday’s terrible news. I hope Johnny gives a eulogy at the funeral that’s just nothing but made-up bollocks.
Too bad we won't see it again.... RIP Sean.
He has the perfect combination of a surreal imagination, and the willingness to say whatever comes into his head without shame or concern. He is a national treasure.
Alan and Bill just casually eating ice cream while Johnny and Jenny yell at each other over ice cream is the best one🤣🤣 theyre like two parents who are just sick of their children fighting and are beyond the point and just let it happen 🤣🤣
i thought it felt like it was the other way round, an old married couple having another argument about something mundane 😂
@@Permafunk_VODs i see that now🤣🤣
Also they were high
It feels a bit like when you're at a family event and your auntie and uncle have one too many and start arguing about something that happened in 1996
@@leow3696 alan looks like the teenagee at the family christmas dinner watching the drunk aunt & uncle go off on each other
That "I try" at the end was depressingly relatable
Fry: "Why do columns around the parthanon look straight?"
Jupitus: "Because it's not theeeere."
Miraaaage
is that what they say about the acropolis where the Parthenon is?

Johnny Vegas: the common man's David Mitchell
That may be the first time I have seen the terms "common man" and "David Mitchell" in the same sentence.
As if Johnny Vegas’ comedy isn’t absolutely top-tier genius
@@LiquidSpiral I agree. But I get the OP's point. They both rant at inconsistencies - but come at them from a different angle. Both brilliant.
@@PaulRoneClarke Agreed! David comes from an angle of superiority questioning why on Earth anyone would do such a thing - while Johnny plays the part of a man who is one step away from an existential crisis, punching up at the world for not making any sense. Big fan of that!
hahahaha!
I think nobody gets Sean laughing as consistently as Johnny does.
Not any more
@@warmfeetwinner760 lol
They were close mates
For a long while, I wanted them to do a companion podcast to QI's No Such Thing as a Fish where they, and other comedians, share facts and stories that are just utter bullshit. Could still be a good idea but Sean and Johnny together would have killed on such a show.
@@warmfeetwinner760 Sadly...
"I'm seeing through walls" and "yer JOKIN'!" makes me crack up every time.
That interaction with Jenny Eclair was great, so glad she shouted back at him it just made it so much more fun
Why is Johnny Vegas so funny?
Because he is.
I sea what you did there
I'm familiar enough with Johnny's humour that I was able to predict your answer.
LOL
that and charisma
He is about as funny as lung cancer
Love you
you could tell Stephen Fry enjoyed Johnny Vegas on QI
I loved his reactions, for an older, schoolmasterly type he's so out of his depth and a bit uncomfortable because Johnny's humour is so hard to respond to. They're polar opposites stylistically, or at least Johnny can go there but Stephen's a bit too 'proper' to.
@@auracle6184 Stephen is like a very upspoken fancy Teacher, who's nee to the school, and although is usually somewhat strict, has been told to be nice to Johnny because he's "gifted"
Fry's humor comes from seeing patterns that most don't see. Vegas' humor comes from destroying patterns. And the collision b/n them is brilliant.
You know you watch too many videos with Johnny Vegas when, as a non-native speaker, you start to understand everything he says.
I bet Ross Noble is an even more interesting challenge :)
Next mission: understanding Big Narstie :D
I am driving my wife mad doing impressions of him when we are out.
@@medievalist As a non-native speaker, I would have never even thought of Ross Noble to be hard to understand, I'd say final bosses are Johnny Vegas and Kevin Bridges.
Oh man. Any suggestions for trying to understand different accents in a non-native language? I struggle so much with understanding Swedish (I speak Norwegian, but the Scandinavian languages except Icelandic are practically the same)... I’ve found that pure exposure doesn’t help if I can’t get subtitles or a transcript along with it
The ice cream argument, the "When is someone going to tell her that she saw a duck?" and how genuinely mad that lady seemed, just everything, loved Johnny as a kid and he's still so brilliant now XD
And that Lady is Pam Ayres who is renowned for being gentle and warm and funny hence its even funnier. I don't believe she was actually mad though.
@paulaus Pam Ayres has had a few outbursts on panel shows. Would I Lie To You she's gotten rather worked up over being accused of lying, when that's literally half the game!
Vegas is always the most hilarious thing on any panel show he's on.
This man actually makes career comedians cry with laughter.
"I need to write this down!" You know someone's good when the Almighty Sean Lock thinks they're funny.
Johnny is Sean's comedy hero.
He kills sean off all the time. Vegas and Joe Wilkinson are like seans criptonite
@@wetkneehouston6293 yeah honestly Johnny and joe are the only ones I have really seen make Sean loose it 😂😂😂
Tbf, it may have helped Johnny that Sean seems unfamiliar with The Little Mermaid.
RIP
There needs to be a Best of QI Meltdowns compilation. Highlights could include "I try!", "The sun is not there" and "Mitchell is a cock"
That mermaid theory really has legs!
Oh bloody hell.
Ba dum tss
Nah, there's something fishy about it...
Can't believe these puns are being (mer)maid
I'm sorry
I sea what you did.
Sorry I couldn't resist.
Johnny's rant about the Parthenon is still probably my favourite bit of QI.
It's wonderful watching Sean laugh
"This is why I struggled in school." LOL you're messing with his head 😂😂😂
'I CAN SEE THROUGH WALLS!' will never get old. 😄
There is a similar line in The Simpsons episode "Homer and Apu" (S5E13). Apu makes the family a spicy dinner and Lisa says "I can see through time!"
When you can make professional stand up comedians genuinely laugh, then you're a genuinely funny guy.
“I need to write this down”
- Sean Lock, who’s never heard of ‘The Little Mermaid’.
Comparing it to Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is at least an original take on Johnny’s part. 😂
sean lock, who seemingly doesn't realise the entire thing is being recorded
The more you watch Johnny on shows like QI where he's not "in character" the more you realise he's a lot smarter than he lets on
I think that's the thing with surrealists and one liner comedians. People forget that they have (generally) come up with the ideas and concept themselves. They're not just spouting random insanity - they have to be intelligent enough to put it all together "coherently". Like other comedians, it has to be organised and memorised and there has to be comebacks in case they get heckled.
People watch comedians like Dara O'briain who monologue. Such comedians generally talk about science or philosophy and people think "wow! so clever" (which many of them are). Then they watch surrealists or one liners and think "they're insane".
Missed the bit with the "Wasabi" where Johnny Vegas says "hold the taxi I'm flying home tonight" I nearly wet myself first time watching it
6:58 I was already having a hard time breathing after listening to that argument on ice cream, then Bill comes in a drops that one liner!
"Who's gonna tell Pam she probably saw a duck?"
"Why is it straight.. because it is" lost me in tears 😂😂
Johnny Vegas has given me the gift of being able to understand very unintelligeble speech.
I think it's safe to say I've probably seen damn near every QI clip on TH-cam and I've never laughed this hard while sober. Johnny Vegas is a national treasure.
Johnny Vegas is one very funny man. And Sean Lock is very sadly missed.
Why is this the Best of Johnny Vegas? BECAUSE IT IS!
*sob* Because it is....!
Only Johnny Vegas would mention the 'Rivers of Blood' speech while painting a picture of a magical land 😅
"It was like rivers of blood speech, cause loads of mackrel were told to f**k off home"
Used to hate Johnny Vegas when I started watching QI, love the guy now. Genuinely funny
lzw3 he used to be awful in the early noughties, but he's gotten much funnier of the last few years.
Michael Pennington is a very intelligent man. He wasn't understood in the early days. People get his humor now
Maybe you just got bitter and enjoy more to laugh at the self-depreciating misfortunes of others now.
I agree. I thought he was a shitty comedian, but yes, he has grown on me a lot and I have seem some genuinely good stuff from him.
Moomin.
No, this is not just northern humour, because everyone has a similar sense of humour ( Except the southern softie twats ) but his early stuff was just a bit bland or a bit moronic... later stuff is slighty more weird and funny, plus sure, Ithink attitudes change so maybe people simply didnt get it, and now they do?
When Shaun lock (bless him) says that he is going to write this down it shows how good Johnny is
"This is why i struggled in school" no truer words have ever been spoken.
The ice-cream debacle was bloody hilarious
There truly will only ever be one Johnny Vegas. XD
Also: Pam should've been on QI loads more often, she's so surreally wonderful! The show needs more of that charming / daft West Country humour!
I don't always understand what he says, however, he is brilliant!
I'm not sure Johnny Vegas knows what Johnny Vegas says.
i sometimes struggles to understand what he says but when someone kindly points out what he is saying in the comments it always makes me laugh so hard
I'm not the only one?Good
The perkz of being a northerner. Clear as day for me :D
@richard cunningham, faaark mate, I seldom miss a word, and I'm so South I'm,....
🌏⬅️🙃🇦🇺
ps, nothin soft down here 😉😂
Flying fish are currently recorded at 45 seconds, which when you're watching live would feel like around 2 minutes so that's quite accurate from her perspective :)
Yeah, QI gets most things wrong lol.
I've seen thousands of flying fish having spent 50 odd years working on the ocean. Can't recall one gliding for 45 seconds, 20 seconds tops.
I just love Johnny Vegas! Absolutely hilarious! ♡
Love that he always make other comedians just lose it
I think that's the mark of a truly great comedian, that his peers have such admiration. Johnny Vegas is held in truly high esteem by my other favourites like Sean Lock, Chris Morris, Stewart Lee, Lee Mack etc.
Lose what?
7:43 i didn't think i could love johnny anymore than i already did. but then he puts on a SAGA t-shirt, and suddenly he's the greatest man alive
Perfect, ending on his wonderfully anguished "I try..."
I TRY!
We all do, Johnny. And we all fail, sometimes. Even the lovely and glorious Mr. Fry.
the wasabi bit kills me every time.. it makes me laugh so hard i have to wipe my eyes and my stomach hurts
The last one got me real good😂 I was laughing for a solid 4 minutes with tears in my eyes😂
Phil Jupitus, Aisling Bea and Johny Vegas are my favorite QI guests. they all come up with such ridiculous answers.
10:20 So what they say of the acropolis where the parthenon is is false?
Alex M. I see what you did there 😅
What did they say?
They say of the acropolis, where the parthenon is, that there are no straight lines.
Alex M. BECAUSE IT EES!!!!...
He's going to say!
The mind of a mad comedic genius
Thank you, thank you so much for adding in the Cornflakes bit. The riots have quelled and all is right in the land of QI.
*I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS IN FRONT OF STEVEN-*
... no.
*-BUT THE LAST TIME WE'RE HAVE ICE CREAM, JUST.*
*Long Silence*
"This is what I imagine life would be like in a nursing home..."
Anyway, what was the biggest nuisance in the Victorian theatre?
Getting heckled by Sherlock Holmes?
It's like watching an old couple argue 😂😂😂
Johnny on QI has bought tears to my eyes so many times. Plus the fact he makes anyone else on the panel totally crack up too. Like when Stephen told him his dreams ment he was gay, being chased out the park for scaring ducks. Everything he says is so random but so funny. Like after one of his comments about ginger bread men in the pudding wars and Stephen says "I so want to live in Johnnys world"
😂 Not long enough!
He barely has any bad moments in QI, although I sometimes feel sorry for the guy...
Eric Burkheimer True...😅😅😥
You have to feel sorry for him in order for his jokes to work.
Why do you feel sorry for him?
Why do you feel sorry for him? He's brilliant in his own right, his humour is very unique and although his jokes doesn't always work, when they do, it's worth it to suffer through the rest.
I don't know about the OP, but I feel sorry for Johnny because of his troubled past, which came through rather clearly during his early stand-up days, to the point where the Johnny Vegas act was more of an angry rant than a stand-up routine. Not to mention the fact that he was near constantly drunk, on and off stage. One only needs watch what's available here on TH-cam to get an impression of what he was like back then, like the 2000 Melbourne Special for instance, where he basically goes off on the audience for 5+ minutes, or the 1998 Johnny Vegas Television Show- a TV movie so depressing, you can't even find it listed in his filmography. You have to stumble upon it, to know it even exists. And as a tip for this particular iceberg, there's "18 stone of idiot", which quite possibly shows him at the lowest point of his life, around 2005.
There was a lot of misery in the guy's life, and even though he's a completely different man nowadays, having a family and all, you can still see glimpses of his old self in seemingly inconsequential stuff like that one poem he wrote on Cats does Countdown, which was quite possibly written based on personal experience.
What about the time he talked about travelling along the date line on a jet ski , never ageing, because he could keep going to yesterday and back, giving advice to people and being mistaken for god.
That's the one I was looking for! I absolutely adore his exclamation from that part.
"So a line looks straight because it's straight but I can't be God on a jetski!?"
I love Johnny Vegas.
Johnny Vegas is a delight.
I don't think sean has ever laughed as hard as he did during the mermaid bit.
correction: the time when miles jupp got that black and white framed picture of him as his mascot on cats does countdown
For a couple of examples (in case you're curious because they're well worth looking out for):
Joe Wilkinson's "Hanging About In A Train Station Toilet, Naming People's Penises".
TV Heaven, Telly Hell with Omid Djalili talking about bongos (and mouth noises).
8 out of 10 cats when Bill Oddie makes a statement about his daughter's friends.
Anything involving Bob Mortimer for the most part.
If you have more examples in the future, I'd love to know them cause they're always good to watch; seeing Sean Lock (and other comedians for that matter) enjoy other comedians is a brilliant thing.
The look he gives Stephen Fry at 2:17😂😂
Love you, Johnny! One of the best panel show guests!
Vegas is such a legend! Lol.
Even the people at the start who roll their eyes at the start as if to say 'here we go again' end up in tears!
For me, I'm always delighted when a comedian effortlessly demolishes Sean's demeanour and makes him piss himself laughing.
That cornflakes joke had me on fookin tears. 😂😂😂
God I love Johnny Vegas. He’s literally one of the funniest human beings (not standup material type stuff just overall funny) in existence. I can’t think of anyone I enjoy watching speak more.
I would love to see stephen fry as a guest in QI
Rasmus Kirkebæk-Jensen daym! Mind blown
Nah
Alan hosted once in a Christmas special and Stephen competed
Liger 9 not really, it was just a small part of that show where Alan and Stephen agreed to switch places temporarily.
I love this so much, but please make a part two!!! There are so many other good ones, for example his somersault in invertebrates 😂😂😂
In the E-series, in the episode "eating", they were asked which animal was the first to be herded by humans, specifically for food. Johnny ends up shouting "EGGS.. EGGS.. EGGS, They were easy to move around the field".
Yeah, I couldn't believe "Fuck the pigeons, am I gay?!" wasn't on here.
We finally know what they say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is!
Beautiful the way Johnny gave respect with pam, she's one of my childhood memories and I'm same age as Johnny and same humour ❤️👍
“Because it is”
Reminds me of Phil Jupitus raging on the Sun
Oh finally a Johnny compilation !!!
Have it on my bucket list to spend a day hanging around with Jonny.
Brilliant.
And it's not just because of Johnny's chaotic ranting loveable talent and imagination, it's partly too because of, underneath it, you can see and feel a detonate love and affection from Stephen.
I think Stephen understands him.
Detonate?
Bloody spellchecker.
I meant DEFINITE
Just brilliant, absolute charming.
I love how much Sean Lock loves Johnny Vegas
Love Johnny Vegas,every time I listen to him I understand an additional word.
I love you Johnny! Thanks for the giggles and full on belly laughs!
Johnny Vegas is a gift.
Sean Rea absolutely 😂😂
A gift of utter shite
Delete this.
Clearly your on drugs mate. Proberly cannabis or heroin
Yes, I proberly am. To think that a comedian can be funny because of a light hearted sense of humour with a "beautiful idiot" attitude where your able to laugh with him about amusing misconceptions and almost truths. Absolutely no-one could find that amusing without the assistance of psychoactive drugs.
One of these days I pray someone posts footage of Claire Balding interviewing Johnny at The Grand National. Can't remember what year but think it was early 00's. She asked him did he watch The Grand National growing up and he said yes and he used to recreate it by gathering stray cats and strapping his action man figures to their backs and racing them around his back garden. It actually made The Grand National entertaining for just a second
Johnny Vegas is my spirit animal.
I swear that everything Johnny Vegas says is funny
Sandi's great but man I miss Stephen
thompson223 ain’t as good no mo, women ain’t as funny as men
@@ricardomontalban6004 6 of my top 10 current comedians are women. So get out of here with that crap.
The job of the host is to keep the show moving. Stephen wasn't all that funny when he hosted QI. It's up to the panellists to bring the humour.
@@berniebasset9465 Name them
Yes, finally a Johnny vegas comp.
I love how Johnny can swerve across the road from this gentle and still fantastically funny side to this vulgar rage monster.
QI in its hey day. Great cameo from Pam
"it was a massive summit..." ALWAYS gets me.
Anyone else notice Johnny rockin' the 'Saga' t-shirt?
He's worn of a lying cat t shirt on the Last Leg. Also Bill Bailey has worn a Naruto t shirt on QI.
Yeah that was dope! Never would’ve expected that in my British panel show
I could listen to Johnny Vegas all day.I’d love for all this to be on an audio book
This was delightful
The best of the Best Moments.....by far.
Johnny has to be the only guy that can make Sean break out laughing with everything he says
I relate to Johnny at the end on such a level.
love johny vegas and qi
yeah ive seen on a lot of shows he's good as
He's the same In my local pub too haha (St Helens)
no way ahaha that's cool as ahah
Johnny always makes me laugh out loud for real
