Funny and Interesting Sports Rounds On QI! 10 hilarious sporting rounds on qi featuring Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies and others... #sportscomedy #QI #StephenFry
People who are fans of QI are interested in sports, animals, and EVERYTHING. That’s why every show is so anticipated. You’re never sure what you’ll learn. There is nothing like it on American TV. We would be at each other’s throats less than five minutes into the show!
If Ross slapping Alan had been on American QI, there'd have been some bs twitter explosion and ego-driven celebrity beef. Assuming the show got past episode 1 because standup comics in America aren't funny.
Some years ago at the Servite Order priest's house in Dublin, a visiting Italian priest saw a painting over a mantlepiece (I think) and immediately recognised it as a Caravaggio worth aboy 50 million pounds at the time.. It is now on permanent loan to the National Gallery.
So true about people being lifted while bell ringing. As young altar-boys we would purposely let ourselves be lifted into the air by the bell rope. It was the biggest church bell in N.Ireland.
5:13 We were inexplicably playing darts in high school PE, and a fellow student hiffed one into my shin. Got a few laughs, but there was nobody to sue.
World Eskimo Indian Games. Another event the USA has labelled as "World" when only people of the USA compete in it. Much like the World Series in Baseball that only had USA-based teams playing until the Montreal Expos joined Major League Baseball in 1969. Unlike the Arctic Winter Games which have athletes from the indigenous peoples of the circumpolar region that have been held since 1970. So indigenous people of Canada, the USA, Scandinavia, Russia (until the invasion of the Ukraine I believe), etc.
Regarding de Coubertin and anonymous competitors. Fencers do wear a mask. Also in 1900 Paris, the men's coxed pairs winners used an unknown French boy as their cox. The winners had used a 60 kg man as their cox in the semis. They saw that one of the other semi-finalists used a boy weighing about 25 kg. They recruited an unknown French boy to substitute in the Final.
Scottish born ice hockey player Tony Hand, started playing professionally at 14 years old. Nicknamed "Two Point Tony" he amased more than 4000 points from 1983 to 2015, more than any other professional player at any level.
I guess you can score a lot of goals playing for absolute dog meat “professional” teams like the Belfast Giants, the Sheffield Steelers or the Manchester Phoenix. 😂😂
I've heard of someone being killed shooting a longbow, the upper limb broke hitting him in the temple and entering his brain. Having had a longbow break on myself, luckily the lower limb so no harm done.
🎉 The building at 1.10 looks like the Marina bay hotel in Singapore. Yes, the original entry point for Australia’s indigenous peoples was most likely Indonesia. Yes, the Chinese have had a long history of Australian emigration, particularly in the gold rush years. They also beat Cook and the Dutch for navigation, mapping parts of the north of Australia in the 1400’s Finally, we’re not really entitled to be upset by this one. The grief we give the Poms about their country kinda disqualifies us from being offended.
Ze Germans never invaded Holland before 1940, England has tried numerous times throughout the centuries and Holland invaded England twice (sorta), so historically seeing the English and Dutch should be more rivals to eachother as the Germans and Dutch should.
As an American, I do not understand how the Europeans can call Socialists - even National socialists - “far-right.” Socialism, by definition, is far-left, isn’t it?
Why is it called the World Eskimo Indian Olympics when the inuits as they're officially called deem the word Eskimo to be racist and this is supposed to an Olympic event? 🤔🤨
Good point! I mean, why would anyone who is a fan of QI want to watch a video about history, geography, science, literature, art, medicine, films, music or any other subject?! I only watch the QI videos about nothing.
@@spiffydaily8855 yeah, it was pretty funny being called an incel from someone who hates on sports in general 🤣 there's a very good chance they instantly jumped to calling me an incel because they're an incel themselves
“Surely they’re all on the far right” gets me every time I hear it 🤣😂🤣😂
You can hear him trying to get that line out a few times but everyone's talking. It was worth the wait.
Saw it coming a mile away but it still knocked me down 😅
The smile on his face after that one hit is glorious
Do you know England is farther right than America? Remember that when laughing 😂
Though being socialists, they were actually far left…
"This contravenes my superinjunction" omg miss you Sean😂

That cut to Brian having Sean halfway to the floor while playing that game had me dead 🤣
Brian Blessed is an absolute Yeti of a man. Absolutely impressive specimen.
"the trainspotters are stood on the hill yelling "losers!!"
auch LMAO
Leave it Cynthia they’re only jealous

It's crazy how many of these great works have been found in similar circumstances.
Stanley-Knife Matthews deserved a much bigger laugh!

I'm a German and I can confirm: we don't really care about anything involving Britain... specially not after the last years ^^
I'm a human and I can confirm we don't care about Germans that are selfish... since WW1, cupcake 😂
I can think of one thing you should care about involving Britain

9:36 Ross Noble expressing his inner Napoleon Dynamite
10:09 Brian Blessed expressing his inner Brian Blessed
The Emperor Nero entered the Olympic games and won every event he entered. He won the chariot race, even after falling out of his chariot.
I read about that. Apparently all the other competitors suffered catastrophic chariot malfunctions right after he fell out. What are the odds! 😂
I love how during the question abour first Olympic games, Stephen does dirty jokes and immediately regrets it, but keeps going😭🤣
I vote we bring these back these events 😂

I'm sorry, but "Stanley Knife Matthews" is the best joke in this video.
Show jumping, was anyone else hoping there'd be little lakes of 🔥 per Sean Locke
This was most sufficient
I've heard of someone being killed shooting a longbow, the upper limb broke hitting him in the temple and entering his brain.
Having had a longbow break on myself, luckily the lower limb so no harm done.
I'd love to listen to Clare Balding commentating on rabbit showjumping.

Woodhall Spa is twinned with the French village of Roze-Sur-Sarthe.
We used to do things like this as bairns. Really no idea if we'd heard it somewhere
I think she is great as well Stephen. Love them both.❤❤❤
That reasoning for why one set of games on the olympics survived and the others didn't makes no sense whatsoever.
Dunkirk was the first occasion the British beat the Germans to the beach.
6:36 !
I don't watch QI so I never knew Stephen had a Harry Potter phase
He's also a huge Star Wars fan. Basically Stephen is a very classy nerd.
Yes he is l love him for it.❤❤❤
He read the audiobooks
Harry pocketed it.
And of course, out of football and archery, it was football that got banned (multiple times!) because it was interfering with archery practice!
11:00 so cute that they can’t follow very simple visual orders 😅😂
4:00 a game of what? I must not know the game because I have no idea what she said. Anyone know?
Quoits like horseshoe throwing 🙂
I love Stephen as question master. Personally, Sandys good but she’s no Stephen.

Germans know!
As an American, I do not understand how the Europeans can call Socialists - even National socialists - “far-right.”
Socialism, by definition, is far-left, isn’t it?
Football may have caused more deaths than sword fighting as a sport but surely not if you include actual battles?
No it's fencing as a sport. Which even back in the day was surprisingly safe.
16:00 ahhh caught y'all using our damned inches for yourselves
We learned from watching you mom, we learned by watching you!
Who'd you think you got them from? 😂
We had the empire that makes them imperial measures!
NEVER MIX STEPHENN AND SANDI EVER……
Why knock MK, when you rave about Bletchley Park, Bletchley.
Stephen is the best QI host. Sandi is alright, but this is Stephen's show, she is just substituting for him.
Haha, if only it wouldn't have been permanent.
Why is it called the World Eskimo Indian Olympics when the inuits as they're officially called deem the word Eskimo to be racist and this is supposed to an Olympic event? 🤔🤨
Why would anyone who is a fan of QI want to watch a video about sport?
Because it's....Quite Interesting?
as a fan of both, I'm excited to watch it
Typical nerds hating on sports 🤓

@@smokeandkippersgood one 😂😂
Interesting sports??? That's an oxymoron if I've ever hear one! 🤣
Awful nerd banter
@@scladoffle2472 Awful incel crying.
@@js0988 calling me an incel cause i like sports 🤣 damn you're messed up dude
@@scladoffle2472and let’s be honest, probably a lot less likely to be an incel
@@spiffydaily8855 yeah, it was pretty funny being called an incel from someone who hates on sports in general 🤣 there's a very good chance they instantly jumped to calling me an incel because they're an incel themselves
Alan Davis is the most talentless person.
Why do you say this?
3:27 not Sergio ramos then 🙄
