Have probably seen this clip a hundred times and Alan just keeps getting funnier every time! I lose it!!! They idea that Julie Andrews is still in character after all this time and common as muck. Comedy gold.
i'd like to have some subtitres or closed captions on this... i can understand spoken english, e.g. when stephen did the speaking, but here it is a bit too much...
I work on sets. One day Julie Andrews strode up to me on her first visit to set before she started working officially. I happened to be standing beside the director. In my career I have been around countless celebrities and never once really cared. It's just a job. As Julie Andrews stood there gushing about how happy she was to join the cast and crew, sometimes directly at me, I felt like a 7 year old. My entire childhood flooded back and if she had asked me a direct question I wouldn't have been able to speak a word. True story.
@@keithf_ In his earlier appearances, he's pretended to be smoking a pipe with a pen.. Then he started bringing a pipe to look classy with when he's role playing.
@@Alacritous Yes, Bill Bailey certainly did that. Here are some of my favourite QI guest comedians :- Bill Bailey, Sean Lock, David Mitchell, Giles Brandreth

Adriano Vaz Rich Hall probably delivers the most laughs per sentence than any other QI regular, even though he’ll remain quiet for long spells. He also once defined his job as “talking about intelligent things stupidly and stupid things intelligently”.
This is what Alan said: "Do you like 'em tied up with string? I'll bet you do, girl! I'll bet you do! What's a deer, what's a female deer? Come on! Oh Julie, leave it alone. I'll get the puppets out, I'll get the puppets out, do you wanna see the goatherd, you wanna see the goatherd? *badly impersonates the song The Lonely Goatherd* It wasn't me singing. *keeps singing* I'm on with Maria - I'll be back with ya - on Maria. What's up, Julie?"
Thanks a million! I saw this video about 50 times çause it's so funny, but I couldn't hear all the words. String and goatherd. Thats a relief. Thanks again for your trouble.
Alan was quoting lines and lyrics from the movie " the sound of music" but he was doing it in a rough accent. He was also doing it in a way filled with innuendo. Which if you've seen the movie is well out of place, for who'd be singing the lines. In most cases Julie Andrews. It was quite funny to an old fogey like myself, or in this case Sandy, who's heard all the lines before. Think of your favorite frilly little character who's always prim and proper and then all of the sudden they sound like your chain smoking drunkard uncle when they open their mouth. It's a shock to your senses and can make you laugh. Comedy is like food. Everyone likes something different. Or has a different point of view they are seeing it from. But just because I don't like bell peppers doesn't stop stores from selling them. or people from stuffing and cooking them. My two cents, hope this helps.
Julie Andrews is well known to speak in very industrial language off camera, so Alan was probably tapping into that. Think it may even have been mentioned before on QI.
"Do you like 'em tied up with string? I'll bet you do, girl! I'll bet you do! What's a deer, what's a female deer? Come on! Oh Julie, (I can't make out the rest of the sentence over the laughing, all I can hear is "please with the loan", which doesn't make sense so he must have said something else). I'll get the puppets out, I'll get the puppets out, do you wanna see the goatherd? *badly impersonates the song The Lonely Goatherd* It wasn't me singing. *keeps singing* I'm on with Maria - I'll be back with ya - on Maria. What's up, Julie?"
I think she's saying "oh, "Julie", leave me alone. I'm Maria, i'll be back with you, I'm Maria. Which is the charachters name in the film, apparently she can't let it go
I thought Sandi Toksvig's burn ("It's like that but with a tune") to Susan Calman was much funnier, particularly Calman's reaction (i.e. irritation that she couldn't think of a come back).
Compare and contrast to Jimmy Carr who'd have something on standby to destroy her. Not a huge fan of his standup but in person or on the spot when he's improvising, he's genuinely witty and especially cruel with putdowns.
“Do you cry at things” and “it’s like that, but with a tune” Sandi, is doing really great as the host, luv ST but luv ST even more. Who else remembers her in No73 back in the day
"Ethel" - that was her character's name on No. 73. I didn't know she was called Sandi for a long time or that they had 'character names' on No. 73 back then.

Robin Garrison I'm a huge fan of Alan and Sandi, but although I'm an Anglophile, sadly I'm an American one. I'd 'seen' most of the joke in Alan's impression but was confused, since Julie obviously doesn't talk that way. Your comment helped me see that this is precisely why it was so funny to Sandi, thanks.
Sandi corpsing is one of the funniest and best sounds/sights in broadcasting. Other memorable occasions include Call My Bluff and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
Funfact: Although Sound of Music is certainly one of the films most strongly associated with Austria, very few Austrians have ever seen it. It is well known in Austria that it is very popular in the English speaking countries and also in Asia, and the tourism sector markets it accordingly, but the film itself and its songs are largely unknown within the population.
I have never been more jealous of someone than I have been of Josh for not having watched The Sound of Music. It's my most hated film and I have to sit through it every christmas because everyone in my family loves it. Josh doesn't know how lucky he is
Indeed we do, so much so that it's gotten to the point that i'm afraid most of you hethens are simply driven insane by even a small dose of the Queen's true comedy. In fact during the cold war we actually used the members of monty python to torture information out of suspected russian spies.
The Sound of Music was on BBC One today, so I'm here to appreciate this segment now that I fully understand it. Truly one of the best QI moments of all time.

@@michaellejeune7715 It does sound like "I'm Maria" but Alan was pretending to be someone interviewing Julie Andrews (and calling her Maria). He says "I'm on with Maria" and gestures as though there's someone there, then turns to the audience and says "I'll be back with ya" and then turns back to the imaginary Julie and says "on Maria" meaning he's continuing the interview.
Oh man, Alan is such an underrated comic, I actually passed out from laughing at this when it aired. I laughed so hard I didn't breathe. He's so funny "I bet you do girl, I bet you do" hahahahaha
That's interesting, they're all so different, except "The Melody of Happiness" is very similar to the original title. Somehow "The Sound of Music" also became All Together Passionately, Smiles and Tears, and The Bastards Got Away.
Everybody in the world loves that movie - practically NOBODY in Austria has ever seen it. 🙂 I saw it on a flight from Tokyo to Singapore, at the age of 43...
I love the part of the film when Maria confides to the Reverend Mother about seeing the Captain again “...she couldn’t face it...” and the Reverend Mother replied “Maria, what is it you c*nt face?” Best. Line. EVAR.
Austrian speaking. Near to none Austrians actually know this film or the musical, and yet it still is the first thing English speaking people ask you about when mentioning your home country. It's actually really funny to have someone foreign teach you something seemingly useless about your own country while getting all excited or offended (much like Sandi at 1:47 ).
Mostly the same with Braveheart which is one of those films a lot of people in Scotland saw 23 years ago when it came out but few since. But elsewhere I think they must show it regularly, I wouldn't mind if it was at least vaguely historically accurate.
I spent a christmas in Tonga. They showed Sound of music, but it was censored. In the end when they kiss it was cut out because they were not married. This was 2002. After this movie they showedTerminator 3 without cuts...
So many people rushing to tell the world they haven't seen The Sound of Music. You should create an award for yourselves, something to stand on your trophy shelf next to the framed certificate for Not Owning A Television.

Yeah, she seemed to really enjoy it instead of just smirking in amusement.
Stomach hurts
"like that but with a tune" Sandi is savage! :D
I think she said about Susan once it was nice to have someone even shorter than her on the show. People always punch down more viciously don't they?

Alan's IMPRESSION Reduces Sandi To TEARS!!!!!! (MUST WATCH)
Title if this was a countdown video
Nathan Dehnel Lol, a video entitled "Jon Richardson's WEAK insult is HILARIOUS!!" is a suggested video from this one for me
Oh no, Angor has taken over the QI channel!
Or "Sandi Toksvig LITERALLY reduced to TEARS by Alan's HILARIOUS Julie Andrews impression."
and there'll be about 5 minutes of other clips that have no relation to the title whatsoever
And they'd find excuse for slipping in the glory holes clip.
Alan was quoting lines and lyrics from the movie " the sound of music" but he was doing it in a rough accent. He was also doing it in a way filled with innuendo. Which if you've seen the movie is well out of place, for who'd be singing the lines. In most cases Julie Andrews.

Think of your favorite frilly little character who's always prim and proper and then all of the sudden they sound like your chain smoking drunkard uncle when they open their mouth.
It's a shock to your senses and can make you laugh.
Comedy is like food. Everyone likes something different. Or has a different point of view they are seeing it from.
But just because I don't like bell peppers doesn't stop stores from selling them. or people from stuffing and cooking them.

Privacy Lover Maria is the name of the main character in the Sound of Music played by Julie Andrews..
The world would be so much happier with more of Alan's impressions. Can you arrange this. Pretty please.💖💖
I wish we had more shows like this in theUS
this is one of the moments i just randomly remember. and its just great.
That Julie Andrews impression was so unique but effective. 😂
Oh man, Alan is such an underrated comic, I actually passed out from laughing at this when it aired. I laughed so hard I didn't breathe.
He's so funny "I bet you do girl, I bet you do" hahahahaha
In Spanish the title was translated as "Smiles and tears" (Sonrisas y lágrimas)
In French the title was translated to "The Melody of Happiness" (La Mélodie du Bonheur).
These are beautiful.
That's interesting, they're all so different, except "The Melody of Happiness" is very similar to the original title. Somehow "The Sound of Music" also became All Together Passionately, Smiles and Tears, and The Bastards Got Away.
In Portuguese it was translated as "Música no Coração" meaning Music at Heart roughly
Daniel Hackett - Superb sir! My neighbours must be wondering why I'm screaming with laughter at 12.20am , with no-one else in the flat.
Seeing Sandi in tears is one of the funniest things I've seen and when Alan goes that's it for QI.
Alan you god damn hero.
“Sometimes I look at you and wonder how your thoughts happen, where these things grow...” -Stephen
I can't figure out what's funnier: Alan's schtick or Sandi losing her mind:)
Alan Davies, comedy genius.
In Turkey it's called "Neseli günler", which Google translates to "Nuclear Days"
Like the Vapors album? Did they dub "Turning Japanese" over one of the songs?
Now according to Google translate "Happy days"
Alan Green So what do they call ‘Happy Days’ in Turkey?
It's called "a noviça rebelde" in portuguese, which means "the rebel novice"
+kisbie "These are a few of my favorite Fonz"?
Sandi in QI and Graham Norton are the funniest quick witted hosts EVER.
In portuguese The Sound of Music is something in the lines of "The Rebellious Novice"
I just love Sandi.
Side note, my grandmother had a “sound of music” music book that was titled “all together now”
Everybody in the world loves that movie - practically NOBODY in Austria has ever seen it. 🙂
I saw it on a flight from Tokyo to Singapore, at the age of 43...
I love the part of the film when Maria confides to the Reverend Mother about seeing the Captain again “...she couldn’t face it...” and the Reverend Mother replied “Maria, what is it you c*nt face?”
Best. Line. EVAR.
Hey! Rich Hall! I'm pleasantly surprised to see he's still around.
Well, in Latam Spanish The Sound of Music is The Rebellious Nun...
I just love Alan Davies!
Austrian speaking. Near to none Austrians actually know this film or the musical, and yet it still is the first thing English speaking people ask you about when mentioning your home country. It's actually really funny to have someone foreign teach you something seemingly useless about your own country while getting all excited or offended (much like Sandi at 1:47 ).
Mostly the same with Braveheart which is one of those films a lot of people in Scotland saw 23 years ago when it came out but few since. But elsewhere I think they must show it regularly, I wouldn't mind if it was at least vaguely historically accurate.
Edelweiss?
Depends on your age.
I love this show.
I love Josh Widdicombe, but he reminds me so much of Zippy in this.
You can see the moment Alan's brain goes "click - comedy goldmine! Sandi will love this!!!" 😂
2:16
I spent a christmas in Tonga. They showed Sound of music, but it was censored. In the end when they kiss it was cut out because they were not married. This was 2002.
After this movie they showedTerminator 3 without cuts...
"The hills are alive, and they want to eat you..." -- My alternative version of its iconic hit, that I'll likely never realize.
The fact he makes Julie Andrews out to be an aggressive person is fantastic
i just love rich hall so much
So many people rushing to tell the world they haven't seen The Sound of Music. You should create an award for yourselves, something to stand on your trophy shelf next to the framed certificate for Not Owning A Television.
Oh, I am getting a certificate for that, eh, after all these TV-less years...
Has QI for TH-cam done an Alan or others riffing compilation? For me these are it’s best moments
I agree with Josh, i understood none of that ^^'
It helps to be British
yeah cause we all understand cockney, didn't think it was that funny either tbh.
+Mark Roberts Not a lot, admittedly, but then it's not like we're that consistent with our accents anyway.
Oh, what would we do without this programme🤔? ...... nope, nothing compares with it.... we just need The Team to live forever 🤗
Alan's looking more like Bob Geldof these days
I'm very much outta the loop and behind the times here but I'm thrilled to see Rich back on the show
