The thing I love about Bill Bailey is that he’s very much a collaborator. He joins in and engaged the other guests rather than just taking over and trying to be the funniest
Yes! True that!
Unlike Jimmy Carr. I know few will agree but i don't think he's funny. He strikes me as someone who finds himself hilarious, but he's not half as funny as he thinks he is.
True, but Carr does come across as a mean spirited twat though.
@@Valisk No. he doesnt. But his spiritedness are not the subject of discussion here.
Like Jimmy Carr...
"The Dalai Farmer"
Sean Lock is an absolute treasure.
Was
is
@@EGGNBEENZ Was, he died. RIP
@@stormchasingk9 i know
Is indeed. A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.
GNU Sean Lock
GNU Terry Pratchett
Bill's rendition of "put the wine away and shut the fuck up" had me in hysterics
Tied up nicely at the end with "You've been whining for two hours!"
Every single time I watch 😄 Thought I was on my own with this one...Cheers 😚😚😎
"put your wine away and shut the fuck up" might just be my best QI moment.
@@hynjus001 …it competes with ‘what they say about the acropolis where the Parthenon is’ for my favourite QI moment
What show is this from?
Nothing better than Fry helplessly trying to control Bailey and Davis
Sandy trying to control in the end was hilarious too
the man's a self important ass-hat
You know Bill is one of the top guests when even a ten minute best bits doesn't start to cover his best moments.
I am torn between Bill Bailey, David Mitchell and Sean Lock being the best guests on that show.
For me it’s Bill Bailey followed by Phil Jupitus.
It's more "10 Random Great Bill Bailey Moments"
@@jimbosayer1 Bailey, Jupitus, Carr - definitely.
Not enough Pipe-based directions for my liking!
I cannot get enough of french Bill Bailey saying "Monsieur Clicky"
Peter Senior it’s just the best xD I love Bill so much he’s so funny and a humanitarian too but never talks about it. Legend
that bit had me weezing and crying when my boyfriend was asleep in the next room, I felt like I was dying
his French accent was really good hahah
alors, l'Artichoke de Jersualem ahahhahhaha
should have named him Lenoardo de pinchi
The Dalai Farmer will be one of the greatest one liners in comedic history. Absolute genius 😂😂😂
Yep. RIP Sean Lock
Sean Lock always had the best bits. I will miss him sorely. RIP.
When Stephen asked about the largest thing a blue whale can swallow:
"Is it a conceptual question? A blue whale's a very vain animal. Perhaps the largest thing it can swallow is its pride."
I believe it was during the Dalai Farmer episode lol
Lmfao
The Dalai Farmer reads the Daily Lama.
That’s so adorable 🥰
What’s so lovely about Bill’s best moments is how often they include the whole panel riffing off each other. There’s a generosity and communal spirit that is wonderful to watch. Susan Calman is similar.
Bill Bailey and Alan Davies: the greatest double act in recent comedy history.
I haven't laughed so hard in ages
Gareth Tudor cccccccc
They're both really good mates, if I recall correctly, I think Alan was best man at Bill's wedding
@@RS14988 no wooooonder. they're so good, it's a shame we don't see them doing acts together elsewhere or something. I think Alan Davies is still underrated and I'm always dying to see more of them
Sean lock and miles jupp never fail to force me into a fitb of laughter
"Oi! Put your wine away and shut the f*#k up!" 😆🤣😂
Bill bailey and Alan Davies doing the French poet/lobster bit is some of the funniest shit I have ever seen 😅
Dalai Farmer really got me 😂😂
Sean and bill used to do comedy together in their very early days.
Bill nibbling the holly on David Tennant's jacket always gets me.
I love Tennant's face during that bit, like he's thinking to himself, "I was not sufficiently warned."
'Tis the wisdom of the Rural Buddha!
"The Dalai Farmer"
The Dalai Farmer
Filthy T'au
Wisdom & cheap cider.

My favourite bit involving Bill Bailey wasn't in this video :( It's thanks to him that I'll always remember what they did say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is!
What do they say what do they say what do they say? ;)
@@YvonneWilson312 He's gonna say, he's gonna say, he's gonna say! - he's going to say...
@@TykusBalrog What do they say? About the acropolis? Where the parthenon is?
@@larurentius FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Bloody hell Stephen, this had better be good.
I love how it seems to me that Bill is as shocked and amused at his own jokes as anyone else.
thats the mark of true genius xD
Bill and Alan are such an incredible combo. They feed off each other so well.
KeppyKep - best mates apparently & where best man at each other’s weddings so makes sense - always fun watching those two...
"The French don't really have a word for custard, they don't believe it exists."
"What happens if you say 'I want custard on it'? 'I'm afraid, sir, it does not exist'."
Szaam, I thought ze frogs called it, ‘creme anglaise’, I am likely mistaken.
"you have placed meee, in an existential quandary."
@@johnnunn8688 - you would be right
@@johnnunn8688
"But I don't want creme anglaise on it, I want Custard!"
"I'm afraid, sir, it does not exist."
Funniest Bill-moment is during the International-episode where they are discussing pilot meals and Stephen is going "Now why do I say lunches?", to which Bill replies... "Because there's MORE THAN ONE?!"
That episode begins with one of the best Bill Bailey parts as well! BB gets three points for raising his "Nobody Knows" card in regards to the infamous Qi scoring system. David Mitchell asks "Why three?!" to which BB replies (while pointing to the other panelists) "Three! Better than you, better than you, better than you". Absolute gold. :)
Agreed! HILARIOUS!!
trumsolon, I've not seen that, but just reading your account had me laughing out loud.
This was my absolute favourite Bill-moment! The delivery is perfect
@@davebrokenshire1086 here you go, enjoy th-cam.com/video/NKDj3JyzqrE/w-d-xo.html
Who was it that once described Bill Bailey as "the bald man with the long hair"?
Wasn't it on the Graham Norton show when Graham recounted that he had told his mother of the people coming on, and she said of Bill, "oh isn't that the bald man with the long hair?"
I think it was Graham Norton's grandmother or nan or something, interview with Bill and Stephen (Fry).
@@RiverSlant & Lux Gracetail - That sounds right. Thanks both!
Well the best one was Gandalf by Dylan Moran in Black Books
Bill also complained about being described by the local press as some kind of exotic ape, when he was on tour.
Also underrated: the Phill-Bill interaction. The way they riff off of each other, it's like Never Mind the Buzzcocks never ended.
They didn't riff as much on buzzcocks, but lamarr and Bailey used to just go for broke with eachother and it was excellent.
The lobster bit is one of the best bits of improv I’ve ever seen
10:09 shows the true comic genius of Bill Bailey - nanoseconds after saying it's like being at school he realises the absurdity of what he said and points it out before anyone has even noticed. Cue side-splitting hilarity!
Personally this is my favorite moment ever.. just spontaneous and not planned 😂 always catches me off guard.
I don't know if Bill Bailey will ever see this, but I actually found "The Little Book of Calm" recently at a local bookstore (in St. Louis, MO) and nobody understood why I was giggling. I loved that show. 😊
I actually own that book. It was gifted to me as a teen and then I saw him talking about it a while after aha
Dylan Moran is the only person of the Black Books trio that hasn't been on QI yet, we need to get him there!
Black books, episode one!! What a fantastic show!! Him and Dylan Moran together were just brilliant!!
An aunty gave me The Little Book of Calm years ago during one of her New Age stages. I felt the way one does when you’re angry & someone tell you to “calm down”, which just redoubles the rage.
I also have the little book of calm lol
Stephen Fry is like the teacher who has lost control of the class 😂😂
"add a dab of lavender to milk, leave town with an orange and pretend you're laughing at it" - the rural buddha
bill and phil 'limbering up' to go again kills me every time.
I never thought I'd see the day when Bill Bailey force fed Gérard de Nerval's lobster with jerusalem artichokes.
Hang on wasn't it about Rimbaud and Verlaine?
@@jameshoyle8950 Yes, the question Stephen posed was about Rimbaud and Verlaine, this was just a tangent based on Bill's erroneous guess of Gérard de Nerval (who died when Rimbaud was 1) being Rimbaud's lover.
@@Efreeti ah sorry yes ok! 😊 I was a bit confused. My bad
@@jameshoyle8950 what a foolish mistake !
@@bumbaaclaaat2866 *curtseys*
I love Bill and Alan's craziness....😂😂
Alan is just not funny imo
I believe they were each others Best Men at their respective weddings
@@MrSaerrock That's what I've read.
Ah the late great Sean Lock RIP
"You've been whining for two hours, now sit down!"
I love how Sandi just always seems like she's a school teacher just barely holding the class together
Sandi's amaaaazing.
The shoe's on the other foot now, Sandi got kicked out of three schools for insubordination.
Put your wine away and stfu
That was the same for Stephen, too.
@@SuperSpatman One of the reasons why I think nobody but her could have filled the chair after Stephen Fry left it.
EASILY the best guest on this show, i'm sure people will reply with their favs but Bill is in his entire own universe. my proof: how much Stephen laughs
No arguments here
It’s a crime it took the channel this long to put up a Best Of! Guess they just had *that* much footage to sort through.
Bailey and Mitchell both A-tier.
My top guest for sure!
@@jameswoodish yes, probably my two favourite QI guests.
"you should always aproach the jaguar to the front"
"oh no, I mean never"
As a Brazilian, I really belive in that history. seems like a thing we would do. probably on purpose. just for the laught.
Bill Bailey and Alan Davis separately are really funny, together are absolutely sheer brilliance!
Bill Bailey makes every QI episode he is in hilarious... Mr. Klikkee kills me every time I see it.
Just like the way you've spelt Clicky. Marvellous!
"You be the March Hare, I'll be the Aztecs."
cyanmanta WORSHIP IT WORSHIP IT
On a more serious note: these clips show more than comedic genius of the five persons stage front. To wit: can you just simply imagine the trust each must have in the other to come forth with this level of improv without damaging the relationships involved? These folks KNOW each other, and it is a marvel to witness.
I agree, but I think it also shows the professionalism of the booking agents to get the right mix of people on the panel.
Beautifully said.

@@lindajosmith9386 Present.
These guys are often on the same bill or have the same talent management and often become personal friends.
bill bailey is so talented. comedian, multi-instrumentalist - a real talent
6:20 “An excellent buzzer” - chef excellence
Awww, missing is Bill's flawless Dutch accent when he was stopped with a guitar on Schiphol airport.
Bill Bailey: One of the few comedians where ALL of his specials, over a span of 25+ years, are uniformly great to watch and consistently funny!
One of the best!
What I wouldn't do for an uncle like Bill.
@r385671 sex
Manus_k40 unless...
Bill and Alan comicly feeding off each other is genius.
0:30 Imagine: Claudia Winkleman is a panellist with Bill Bailey on QI. I bet she never imagined that she would be listening to a future winner on “Strictly Come Dancing”
I waiting for the episode of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown with Bill and Rachel opposite end of the strictly spectrum
Wait a minute. I'm an American, but I do know who all these people are and I get the reference. But are you telling me that Bill Bailey actually won a series of Strictly?
@@nayrecitsuj7426 Yeah. It was the latest series
Bill Bailey is on my top five list of people I want to see on taskmaster. The other four are Rachel riley, Stephen fry, Susie dent, and Sandi toksvig. Imagine all five in the same lineup!
Love the surreal world of Bill Bailey (Hon. Dr). Great comedian, songwriter and performer. I fall to bits when he grabs the tobacco pipe he used in the show when mocking Stephen over class. Highly clever guy who is a ecologist and conservationist. He like Alan has supported animal rights and is a lepidopterist.
Bill always seems to have a pipe when he's on QI 😂
"Bill, shut the fuck up." Best quote ever😂
“Wisdom and cheap ciderrr” - best quote ever😂😂
Some of my favourite moments on QI are when it devolves into near anarchy. It reminds me of a classroom if each student was a class clown.
The greatest compilation video since David Mitchell's angry logic.
10:33 is my favourite part of the video - absolutely hysterical!
I'd watch a program that is just Allan and Bill being characters throughout history while Stephen describes them.
7:14 He should've ended that story with "My english: 'never' and 'always' - i never get them mixed up."
A panel for qi with Bill, Alan and Robin Williams would have been incredible
I saw Stephen Fry and Robin Williams on the same chat show, a while ago. Stephen couldn't get a word in edgeways!
@@annalieff-saxby568 I saw Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Dudley Moore and John Larroquette on Oprah plugging Comic Relief. Robin and Billy took over the show and allowed Dudley to play a few songs. Between howls of laughter, Oprah asked John if he wanted to say anything. He politely declined, saying he couldn't keep up with the others.
"Vite, vite.. Monsieur!" 🤣
I've seen Bill every opportunity there are tickets in London. Exceptional night out every time.
RIP Sean. We love you so much.
I wish that he would do more Qi episodes. Also it’s great when Alan and Bill sit together.
Best bits of Bill Bailey? That's easy: all of them!
'it's like being at school!'
"Put your wine away..."
Mastodon t-shirt - massive props
I needed cheering up.
Bill Bailey is brilliant.
Bill and Phil are by far the best guests on QI.
Bill Bailey and Alan Davis is the best duo on television.
Bill bailey and Alan Davies are like 2 naughty school boys.
"Pull yourselves together at once" might be my favourite Fry quote. The deadpan, twenty-years-strong professor delivery just makes it.
Bloody hell. My head hurts from laughing. That was easily the funniest one yet! Sandi was on fire, 'Bill, you've been whining for 2 hours'!
So now I walk around with pictures in my head of “Bill Bailey: Hummus Smuggler” 🤣🤣🤣
It's these clips, the clips that do not focus on Sean Lock and then, there he is... Sean, doing his thing.... We will miss you so much, Sean, rest in peace
No one makes me laugh like Bill. Even though this word is overused, he really is a genius.
Bill always wears the best t-shirts.
The best bunch of people in one place together. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:40 *Inhales* DAVID TENNANT
❤️ bill...wow amazingly diverse in so many areas...comedian, story telling, phenomenal musician and conductor...watching "midsummer murders" recently and there he was...on my list of people I'd love to spend a day with...I am not aware of anyone else who plays that many musical instruments.
☆ may have to cross the pond to see him in person...
5:53 F'ing hell it's Chef Excellence!
I adore Bill's silly, surreal sense of humour. He's just brilliant.
My all time favourite is the yacht segment , all of the panel make it memorable ,just hilarious 😂
How can anyone 'thumbs down' this? This is pure gold! Sandy and Bill ...........I was weeping!
I think Sandi definitely gets the last laugh though with "You've been whining for two hours!"
I couldn't breathe through that whole lobster bit, I was laughing so hard
Congrats to 2020 Strictly Come Dancing winner Bill Bailey!!!
You have to imagine the wrap parties for these shows at end of the season
Loved Bill's Brazilian jaguar "always/never" story!
Not only is Bill Bailey hillarious but he listens to good music. Love his Mastodon The Hunter t-shirt!
‘The Dalai Farmer’ will never be bettered in my opinion!! 😂😂
Tears to my eyes every time, love them all.
Bill used Dalai farmer in dandelion mind! Nice to know where he got it from!
@St Chives Yeah, Sean and Bill toured together for a good while in the early 90s
There's a bunch of 90s Edinburgh Fringe shows where they were a double act.
David Mitchell brought me to QI a long time ago and introduced me to Bill Bailey, I became an INSTANT FAN. and binged everything Youtey had to offer. the Bill Bailey Show was awesome, all his appearances on the various panel shows, his time on the Buzzcocks, now you see him on Cats does Countdown.Quality Entertainment EveryTime
Don't forget Black Books! ^^
He also played twins in Hot Fuzz
All the best episodes have Bill Bailey in them.
I've never belly-laughed this much at QI before!😂😂
"A boy came before I was ready" Wasn't it Stephen who said "They can put a man on the moon, but they can't get one on Sandi!" ?
Love the way Bill's wipe the tears from his eyes after Sean's really bad pun!!
Bloody legend. We need more of him
wow that ending was the best I actually laughed out loud xD
'ere, Bailey, put your wine away and shut the fuck up
"Bailey, put your wine away and shut the fuck up" had me on the floor
Best compilation so far. Thank you!
Such a fantastic show! Love from Canada!
Bill Bailey and Phill Jupitus are my favorite guests.
Dont like phill as much but theyre great together.
Feels like Alan's absolutely dearest moments was anytime Bill was also on the panel.
I enjoyed this even more than I thought I would.
Best one so far! Love it!
