Someday, I want a king or queen to say: "There you go, Sir Alan, off you pop...."
I am an American and my door hinges are spaced 7" down from the top and 11" up from the bottom. Granted my house was built in 1919.
"50 men or 25 fat birds" when Jo Brand brings it... 😂 "measuring my door hinges... naked"😂😂
The way she says "door hinges"--we finally found something that rhymes with "oranges."
@@johnhrussell4885 oh bwahahahaha yep🤣
re the spacing of door hinges - Before hinges could be made of brass or stainless steel they were iron, and if the lower one were placed too low it would soon rust, from being splashed with water while the floor was being mopped. 9 inches from the floor is enough to keep it mostly dry.
The invention of the metal hinge, and of the earliest keyed door locks, was such an impressive advance, that such things were placed in the care of the Goddess Arianrhod, whose home, Cae'r Arianrhod (Arianrhod's castle) is Polaris, the 'hinge of the heavens'.
John Sessions is like the not-interminably-dull version of Rory McGrath
RIP, the Great John Sessions- such an underrated performer- a polymath in my opinion- Straight roles and amazing mimicry- reference Stella Street- timeless and worthy of a greater appreciation.
I was a lumberjack for fifteen years. It's dangerous. You don't cut a tree down on yourself but trees often have dead branches that fall straight down, or the tree hits another tree and breaks a branch that thwangs back in your direction, or you're on a clearing job with a machine operator that picks up a fifty foot trunk and decides to do a 180 degree without looking behind him, or, the chain on a saw runs so that if you accidentally touch something with the tip of the bar it jumps back at you very fast.
or trees that are already coming down but are snagged, widow-makers i believe is their nickname in the industry
That's why serious lumberjacks without a sense of self-preservation are few & far between 😂
Did you work all day and sleep allnight ?
Alan’s idea about a fluffy cleaner train should be considered
Please keep making these compilations. x
I love this show. Educate with humor.
Thank you for that correct distinction. The Nazi’s killed in mass murder camps over 6 million souls. The overwhelming bulk were Jews. There is no dispute. Yet the disabled, the intellectually unable, the Travellers (Gypsies). The socialists, the same-sex attracted and the opposition are counted within that number.
It was estimated 6M Jews, plus as many or more of numerous other groups.
Also get a kick out of Jeremy Clarkson's skill of confidently identifying tropical islands by a photograph.
Stephen's sartorial splendour in that cravat really sells it. Here's hoping the cravat makes a comeback.
Made me look up sartorial. Another thing learned, thanks!
A bird of prey is an Eagle, a bird of pray is a nun...
For another Kim Catrall movie, you could react to Porky's... or Star Trek VI.
There's something so goofy, endearing, and Bertie-Wooster-ish about Phill when has asks "Are you more weightless?" at 53:47.
I love Mr Fry's admonition of Mr Carr's limp wrist gag.
yeah that was awkward 😮
@@pitchforkcustom No not awkward at all. Just funny.
56:00 >>>
Dara is always the comedic star of ANY SHOW he is ever on. God how I love his stories.
I'm so glad that they put the bit about the brown owls in twice.
just scrolled down to see if anyone else had mentioned this
Cut, paste, cut, paste, cut, paste, post the video, $profit$!
Ah, Dara ! The thinking man's Grimly Feendish.
One of the prisoners in Bastille was a madman who claimed he could see into the future and thought he was Napoleon.
53:46 Female Astronaut 1-- Do you think our space shuttle launch will be this much fun?
Female Astronaut 2 - I'm sure it'll be one nobody will forget.
Male Astronaut - Damn I forgot to check that rubber O ring on the booster rocket before they rolled the shuttle out to the launch pad. . Ah, i'm sure it'll be ok.
I caught a mistake! Barbie ‘spoke’ well before the 90s - I had a talking Barbie in ‘68 or ‘69 and also Barbie’s red headed British friend, Stacy, who also ‘spoke.’ They were my first two Barbie dolls.
You're not a 60 year old lumberjack are you?
02:25 Alan’s not wrong- of the many things the Apollo men left on the moon: golf balls, lunar lander bases, a lunar rover….bags of urine and bags of faeces were also left!
"You didn't brush your teeth" 🤣💀💀💀
I thought well that's an odd topic for having deja vue about ....... BUT NO
The Brown OWL's up for a mini series - After an appearance at the 4 minute its back at the 49th.
THE EPICUREAN MYSTERY IS SOLVED !
*Turns out Brown Owls repeat on you*
I’ve always said, this is how we should be teaching our children in schools.
If only we had that machine from The Prestige and could copy Mr Frye.
agreed, a healthy dose of humor and curiosity, what can be better than that
Instead of double maths on a Friday, they should play darts and mark your own scoring.
Unfortunately that will rarely occur. That's why kids should learn as much, if not more, at home than in a classroom.
@@ianclarke3627I remember watching horse races at school when we were learning about statistics and fractions. 😂
I believe that the whole ''arise Sir ......'' knight, was planted in our subconscious by Buggs Bunny smashing the sheriff of Nottingham's head with each bequeath of status and order. LOL the break in the fourth wall when Buggs looks out and says, ''kid's got stamina'' lays me out ever time. LOL london bridges baking a cake comic genius.
"Arise ! Sir Loin of Beef!"
I always remember Sir Osis of Liver.
@@JetsonDrums 🤣🤣🤣
My 12 year old daughter loves this show
and . . . .
@@david-reason and my daughter loves this show. That's all I wanted to say.
She has great taste,bless her. ❤❤❤❤
18 years ago, wow wee where did the years go.
Eat the pidgin on the way back?!! NOT SPECKLED JIM!!!
Damn and blast forsooth
Imagine a weekend away with vic and Bob, Sean lock, David Mitchel, Stephen fry, and the cockney with the mop head who I can’t remember the name of…. Oh and the Scot bridges who’s first name I can’t remember
Hej Stephan. I just measured my door hinges. They are pre cut by the factory and cost 700 gbp each! There are only 2 hinges and they are equally spaced from the top and bottom of the door! Additionally, you cannot tell! I am 6’1” and have spent 16 years working with these. So I am calling BS. How many moons are there?
I am pretty sure two of the ravens at the Tower of London were (are?) called Hugin (not "Eugine") and Munin because those were the names in Norse mythology of Odin's messenger ravens who flew across the earth and reported back to keep him informed of world events. They are the two ravens mentioned more than once in Wagner's "Twilight of the Gods" so I am surprised Stephen, being a Wagner fan, was unfamiliar with the names.
The current ravens are called Jubilee, Harris, Poppy, Georgie, Edgar, Branwen and Rex. But this show was so long ago that they were undoubtably different back then
Why the hell would 24 people dislike this?
Jealousy.
John Sessions? RIP 02.11.20
It somehow has less dislikes now
I didn't know John Sessions had died
“It used to make, like… cheesy movements” 😂
This show is phenomenal. I just got back from England and it is hilarious that they think they are more sophisticated and/or skinnier.
Leftover mindset from the Empire? England led the Western world in so many areas for so long. It would be difficult to suddenly see yourself as poor and left behind in 1945. The British disdain for the ridiculous attitudes of America is quite appropriate to me though. As an American, I am much more on the same wave length as a Brit than a fellow American. Maybe the result of reading mostly British literature growing up?
Kite Flying in Vasant Panchami is a Hindu Festival, Its an Indian festival celebrate according to Hindu Calander. Its not a Pakistani festival.
And, Yes, people have been caught and harmed by random strings of "Maan-ja" hanging from severed kites stuck or fallen in trees.
Worst is seeing Pigeon hanging on one wing tangled in string and in hard to reach branches.
Thankfully, the government did take measures back then and risks are greatly reduced.
46:26 oh Jeremy thd irony of that question will come back to haunt you later!
I havr always wondered exactly what a knave was . Now I know.
40:40 "Doorhinge" is the only word that rhyhmes with "orange."
Gorringe, an English family name, also rhymes with orange. Stephen's schoolboy tailor was named Gorringe.
@@jb888888888 Hmm... the More You Know. Thanks.
What a thumbnail lol poor Fry
Whistle language last one I think is literally “Domingo era infermo.”
Wel, all I can say at least something interesting definitely happened, or very nearly interesting! Sorry, couldn’t resist!!! 😉😜🤪
Knighting Stool.
Interesting thing about door-hinge: Pronounced with a Liverpool accent, it's the only word that rhymes with Orange.
where do you get your content, dvds?
Not sure but all of QI is currently on bbc iplayer!
Let children play with their food, it's a sensory process.
Another accident: The Americas LOL truth!
So many ads
With so VERY much deceit embedded
Quite a lot of the content on Medical Problems offers dangerous advice
Weird it doesn't seem to fall foul of on line safety legislation

Why is the brown owl clip on here twice?
@@LOKEY-Giant_Atom Duh… I am!! 🤦🏼♂️
@@LOKEY-Giant_Atom The brown owl
@@LOKEY-Giant_Atom good impression of an owl. Well done
Because it was so delicious.. that's why there is no information 😅.. 😊
I have hundreds of vinyl albums and hundreds of CDs. Of course I keep them in alphabetical order by band, and then chronological order by release date.
And OF COURSE Kate Bush goes under "B", Jimi Hendrix goes under "H", Deep Purple goes under "P" and Led Zeppelin goes under "Z"!
{:o:O:}
I also have hundreds of both, but I prefer the "absolute chaos" version of sorting.
I can't find the one album I'm looking for, but what I do find are dozens of other albums that I forgot I had.
@@munky342
*_"dozens of other albums that I forgot I had."_*
Age is a terrible thing! 🤣
I know someone who did that and half the time when they took out the disk it's for a different album entirely!
{:o:O:}
I have the same system!
@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 😂 age really is catching up with me.
That's one thing I can't do. Each album must go back into its sleeve or case.
@@munky342when my dad started losing his memories he was upset he couldn't remember what happened in his favourite novels. I pointed out the good point was he could read them again but he was sad because he wouldn't remember which to read again. I organised his bookcase by how much he had enjoyed them and happy he started rereading and telling me about all these amazing books.
And yet America resisted 😂
Aren't oliggosaccharides the greatest source of flatulence?
The way mass works is that if Phil floats into you it would create more force than if Alan did it. Billiards physics, basically.
Clive the first to bring us whose line is it anyway, am not sure what his last name is. Owen's or andersen?
the kiting is done with normal string endowed with glass particles. you cannot flow a kite on a wire.
this is done in Afghanistan, too. watch the movie
the kite runner
in which this pastime is featured.
Has Alan been knighted yet?
Do Series E
Kippers.
Doors are 6 and 6 at my house.

You try seeding a crop and the pigeons come and eat all the seed or your grain if it makes it that far . It was to save freshly seeded crops .
"They cut their own heads off". I'm afraid I'm going to need a few sources for that. It just sounds like Stephen Fry repeating urban legends again.
Enough information was given for you to research it yourself.
Except it shouldn't be up to the viewer to have to prove or disprove what they are telling us. If they're making the claim, they should back it up with actual evidence.@@munky342
It's actually a misquote of a misconception.
Gojian actually ruled the kingdom of Yue (越) during China's Spring and Autumn Period, not Vietnam （越南).
The misconception, common even among Chinese, was that prisoners decapitated themselves to shock the enemy. It was misinterpretation of the old script, which actually describes soldiers unafraid to die slitting their own throats as they reach the Wu (吳) ranks.
Thanks for that. That makes far more sense than "cutting their own heads off".@@berniethekiwidragon4382
@@munky342 That's not how claims work. You may remain silent.
1:13, Roni will you marry me?

Wtf happened to Jonny Vaughan?
According to the never-wrong internet he's on the radio.
To be so clever that you can correct somebody over the saint they resemble whilst having no positive interest in the topic (religion).
PRESSA CANARIO .
Yes..... *I thought they sounded like Clangers too*
From where I'm sitting I can see four doors, all straight on. Hence zero foreshortening. No one spends more waking time in a doorway than elsewhere. It may be true but it's garbage thinking
I know he's dead but surely Saville should have had his taken away aposiopesisly ?
I had to look up that word!
I still don't get the joke! 🤣

I presume you mean his knighthood, I've not gotten to the part where he's mentioned.
When any person who has received a knighthood dies, the knighthood is automatically revoked.
Shouldn't have even been considered for one, then again, the royal family aren't exactly innocent of those crimes either.
@@munky342 REALLY?
Tell us more
Or concede you see no qualitative differnence between 7 & 17
@@Farweasel I'm sorry, what? Did you even read what I wrote?
@@Farweasel Are you seriously completely unaware of the wayward son of the Queen?
The last time i took my dog to the vet, he was going on 12 months old, and the vet asked me if i was planning on getting him desexed?, to which i replied "i have no plans on it at the moment, hes perfectly well behaved and hes in perfect health"
She said "thats okay, but it was her duty to make sure i was aware that if i didn't get my dog desexed he would be at a much higher risk of getting testicular cancer" I just kind of smilled and noded and that was that.
But the whole way home i couldn't stop thinking that, yeah of course having testicles makes you more likely to get testicular cancer, you might even say its a requirment... you can't get testicular cancer, if you don't have testicles! how is that in any way an argument to cut a perfectly healthy and functioning part of my dog off?
When i got home i told my wife, we have to go hospital immediatly to have your breasts removed!. she replied "what the f*ck are you talking about?" and i said "did you know you are at a much higher risk of getting breast cancer if you have breasts, while we're at it we should get me prostate removed aswell!"
7:59 This perfectly encapsulates Vic Reeves’s level of “comedy.” He is not and have never been funny and he’s only had a career because Bob Mortimer has been carrying him.
right! thanks for the evidence of your greed, I shall be taking my QI joneses elsewhere from now on :)
Difference between America and Britain:
Americans say "take a sh*t."
English say "had a crap."
I’m American and lots of Americans also say ‘I had a crap’ - that’s not only British
So Americans aren't done yet?
(TAKE a sh*t vs. HAD a crap)😊
@@pammcclung861 Realize, too, that am only an armchair archeo-linguist, and make my conclusions based solely on observing the world through my TV...
Who edited this did a shit job. They cutout what the K in Ghandi's name stands for, and they put in the bit about Charles Darwin twice.
Don't watch this compilation unless you like bathroom humour
None better.
It's QI. What did you expect?
How many bloody adverts do you need on this channel? , it's only been 6 minutes an there hv already been 4 stops for adverts, I'll stick to watching on I PLAYER
That Jo Brand is a disgusting thing
Same old english crap
Stopped watching when Stephen Fry left. Not the same without him.
Dart...ugggh just as boring and nonsensical as golf and soccer (i'm not american)
Great to play though. IMPORTANT. You can tell people who are over 50. They can do all the calculations in their head. Anyone younger has to use a calculator or calculator app and consistently gets the wrong answer.
