The water boatman is only the loudest animal for its size when measured in the logarithmic scale of dB. When measured in terms of acoustic energy produced in one instant, the pistol shrimp is by far the loudest animal.
Omgoodness Julian Clairy is possibly the most BEAUTIFUL person in the world. His sarcasm and witt is cutting edge. And as a straight lady....gorgeous to look at too. Thank you world 🎉😂🎉
Reference @55:00 to Lewis Carrol/Dodson.....in one of R.Heinlein's science fiction tomes, his characters meet Rev Dodson in a Wonderland setting, and discuss advanced math and logic. Now I understand the Carrol connection.
Stephen Fry talked about a Bull Bull bird and I remembered a song I haven't heard since I was a child, Abdul Abulbul, Amir. Wikipedia took me straight to a picture of Stephen Fry singing it. That man gets everywhere!
It's because traditionally people were given the answers so they can write better jokes but this show was filmed during the switch from that to more improv
I don”t understand. The portuguese man-o-war is a colony of several different organisms working cooperatively and serving different functions, but if they *are* different organisms then how is it possible for the gonad-like organism to reproduce the *other* organisms? That seems impossible.
You are incorrect 🐫 Camel's do not emit methane, methane is ODOURLESS another who think their farts don't stink. They fart Formaldehyde Formaldehyde stinks to like hell.
Just because you smell petrol doesn't mean the waist-high water you're standing in, doesn't exist. It is in fact possible for the gut flora to produce more than one gas. Hydrogen sulfide, for example.
I just love QI,they are always so funny, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Except that it was Tesco not Sainsburys that reduced the diameter of the loo rolls. 10 points from Stephen.
"He must have had a very big sphincter" which the only fitting reply would be, "Rectum? Damn near killed him!"
Steven: "It's simply pressure of air creating this wonderful vortex."
Johnny: "NO IT'S NOT IT'S MAGIC."
Literal perfection.
Bill Bailey did a good bit about text speak in his stand up , "ROFLYSST", Rolling on the floor laughing yet somehow still typing .😀
All I could think of when Stephen asked who would have lived in the Daily Mail Model Village? They had villages specifically for Mail models?😂😂

I’ve always thought he’s stunning (Straight woman too), and he has an amazing sense of humour
I think your gaydar is due for maintenance, my dear.

Now there's a contradictory term, religious
Education.
know your enemy and all that
Like 'Liberal Conservative' a total contradiction in terms.
Reddit is down the hall and to the left
@pseudonayme7717 well no. You could be socially liberal and conservative economically. Its hardly a contradiction
RIP to Jimmy's OMG joke

It was Frank Crumity I remember the song.
I wonder if Bill (and the rest) have since realised that using LOL in a face to face interaction signifies *sarcasm😄 not actual laughter.
Manny and Jimmy Carr! What year was this?
And the USA has the View. Smh
This American watches QI - Never have watched the View & I’m proud of that 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
NELI, I love that. I'm definitely going to use that one from now on. NELI
Irony a priest says Uranus seeming it means Heaven LOL
He articulated it very carefully 😂
GTM giggle to myself
Fnd the LETTER from N.H Gouldhawke aka R.Gould to William Pitt ! Find out what it said
In my neck of the woods (West Virginia) saying LOL is sarcastic in the extreme. 3:00
A great way to discourage overuse of the term!
Anyone else notice how some of the "clips" were repeated?
Yes, I did
Yes, I did
Yes i did
Yes i did
Yes, I did
OMG was first used by Noah
Not only did Noah not exist.. he didn't use the ABBREVIATION of "OMG"
So you're wrong twice in one sentence.
😀😀👍
I never get why Alan Davies always feels he has to act like the buffoon of the panel. He is smart ,but on this show doesn't act like it.
He does speak up on the topics that he knows about and i agree he is smart
Because that is his function. All the world's a stage, remember?
because it's fun? he wants to? QI would be pretty dry without the humour and goofing about

Fun fact... A Selection of the guests insisted on knowing the questions before they appeared.
One did, and they never had him back on again.
@HairyPantaloons Alan Davies on his other show stated there were a few but not sure which.
It's because traditionally people were given the answers so they can write better jokes but this show was filmed during the switch from that to more improv
@@donny121able Rory McGrath was definitely one.
One. John Sessions.
I love everyone as a comic, but this didn't crack a smile from me
Was all very interesting though
I,m hooked on enuf.
1:28:58 - This "jojoba" routine is nowhere to be found on TH-cam. Prove me wrong.
Billy Connolly - live performance from comic relief 1986 at about 3:45.
Funny as haemorrhoids
Lol

Answers on this show can be dubious at times.
It's still a fortnight...

How I just love watching british upperclass being irrelevant
"It's not military, it's naval." Is the Navy not part of the military lol?
you mean not part of the army. The military is ALL branches.
Man of war fact is nonsense 13:13
Dreadful
I adore Stephen on this show. It's such a pity BBC railroaded him for a cheaper stand-in.
Its not at all. Its not the job of the host to be funny.
They didn't....he didn't want to do it all the time 😂
