The Gay Arthropod sounds like an avante garde superhero's name. Perhaps a particularly fey alternate version of Peter Parker (which, upon reflection, sounds like it could be both a euphemism and a name).
This is why British TV shows sell so well across the world. Despite our failings, our country respects the right of free speech and art. Our comedy is without doubt the smartest and sharpest out there. We take the piss out of ourselves. Our TV personalities are just an extension of our national psyche. Live and let live. If you don't hurt anyone then get on with it. But we don't like people that want to cause a fuss.
That's all fine, but there are two sides to that. When 'not causing a fuss' becomes a social taboo, you end up with a society that becomes highly vulnerable to inequality, prejudice and outright erasure of minorities, because people who speak out against such things are ignored and deemed to be 'just causing a fuss'.
@@DodderingOldMan Agreed. Was just making the point that we Brits tend to let people get on with things, and are generally tolerant. The right to free speech and expression indeed applies to all sides of every argument and perspective.
@@UndergroundHouseAndTechno It does, yeah. But the obvious addendum there is that not all sides of every argument or perspectives are equally valid. I'm not saying you were suggesting otherwise, but I do think it's an important point that's lost on some people.
@@UndergroundHouseAndTechno Ha! Well, thank you, I'm actually Australian, but I take that as a compliment. I'm proud of my British heritage. Plus I was basically raised on British sitcoms :P
You might be too late, I just noticed that the pilot and all episodes from Series A have vanished from my Playlist. Seems they're expanding the copyright censorship more and more.
American here... what style English cupcake? What you are able to graduate high school believing (getting away with speaking) is English? Or true English?😮😊😂
Has Alan remained hetro throughout all this time? What with the ongoing permanent attendance of a selection of homosexual team members and presenters, in Qi it may have contributed to his outlook and network of friends.
@@theravenhaslanded321 I am an English Christian, who is aware as to how one’s attitude can be affected by the long term company one keeps. Week after week in similar company for many years could generally be seen to change one’s mind, especially as Steven Fry is such an opinionated character, who seems to have strong set opinions in so many things. It has become very apparent as to the high quantity of homosexual guests invited week after week, which has become rather tiresome over the years, as so many ‘comedians’ of that ilk seem to think it funny to just turn up, say they’re homo sexual and the audience is expected to fall about laughing.
@@expressoevangelism80 oh lmao I could say that about heterosexual guests. Grow up, it isn't a disease you can catch. But boy, the church is a cult all right🤣
@@expressoevangelism80 actually he's father to a nice family... but fortunately he doesn't believe in religion. Because he has brains🤣👍but real fans would know that. People trolling to cause trouble... not so much😉🤣
entering “heavy-to-industrial-strength lesbianism” into my vocabulary immediately
that’s gonna be my next tattoo
been saying it for years!
Stephen: “Is there any Alan in you?”
“No”
Alan: “do you want some?”
"Industrial-strength Lesbianism" and "Gay Arthropods" are great band names.
6:10 that’s some fantastic rhyming slang on Stephen’s part, “he preferred to take it up the Gary Glitter”
I can't think of what it rhymes with?
@@Ulysses_S_Grant_18 up the shitter, perhaps.
@@Ulysses_S_Grant_18 Hairy shitter, I'd guess.
This is true art
9:37 was epic Alan 😆
Stephen used to make more gay jokes. I love em.
Youre aware he hasnt hosted the show for about ten years

Spiderpunk (punk was originally slang for gay)
Now that they've added the older seasons on the iplayer, I can rewatch these bangers 😂
The best joke of series A was Alan's barman joke about his tongue. The laughs were compared to the 35 mile pencil.
11:08 the face of true shock xD
Ah an cracking good compilation. Doesn’t get better than this. Bloody fun
Are you actually going to do this for every series?
I hope so!

Thank you for this!!!!
Here are gay/funny moments from season A of the British TV series "QI: Quite Interesting".

What does Alan Davies say at about 9.40? Can't hear it all, kerk
Can someone please tell what Alan says at 9:40?
Stephen: "He has this idea that homosexuals can't whistle."
Alan: "Too much cock in their mouth?"
“It’s because they’ve always got a cock in their mouth”
he says "cause they got cock in their mouth" lol
"Because they've always got a cock in their mouth?"
“Because of the coq in their mouth?”
This was when it ws good!
what did Alan say at about 9:40
Someone else has said that it's “Because of the coq in their mouth?”
haha thank you
dang but I want to know all these answers!
You might be too late, I just noticed that the pilot and all episodes from Series A have vanished from my Playlist.

watch the show! it’s all on iplayer :)
Hahaha I love themm
Can we get an English translation for this?
It's all in English...
Are you America or Australian? Kevin.
American here... what style English cupcake? What you are able to graduate high school believing (getting away with speaking) is English? Or true English?😮😊😂
Alan has obviously done some work on that shocking speech impediment.
Confusing..can’t hear well, choppy editing
Has Alan remained hetro throughout all this time?
What with the ongoing permanent attendance of a selection of homosexual team members and presenters, in Qi it may have contributed to his outlook and network of friends.
Why not; just because your friends do it, doesn't mean you have to _lolz_
How strange a thought. Well, are you a religious American? That would explain a lot for me😂
