Yes. Its almost as if she has nothing funny to ever contribute to any question and then relies on the fact that she is clearly a greedy c*nt as her single premise to elicit a laugh. Every time. On every subject. On every programme. Comedy genius.
I love how naturally Davies and Mitchell respond to and expand on each other's jokes. There are other examples of it in the show as well (the Rodney Bewes, Susie Dent segments come to mind), not to mention whenever Alan guests "The Unbelievable Truth". They have genuine comedy chemistry.
I was thinking about that as well, yeah. A lot of people always mention that Mitchell has such great chemistry with, say, Richard Ayoade or Jon Richardson because they are similar in comedic style and character. But honestly, David always performs best with people that aren't at all similar to him: Alan Davies, Sean Lock and obviously Lee Mack. Hell, you could argue that his whole career kicked off because he was partnered with a guy who is not at all similar to himself in Robert Webb.
@@TetraDax He needs someone to rail against. I love David's comedy persona, but it's based around conflict (conflict with himself, mostly!) He works well with Ayoade and Richardson because they lean into each other against a common foe (normally Jimmy Carr), but he's superb when with people like Sean and Alan because they're playing naughty schoolchildren against Stephen's long-suffering Posh Supply Teacher who's a refugee from Eton. 🤣
@@2109917162 i think you'll find most of the more successful and popular comedians always consider the implications of their jokes before saying them. Its certainly not a behaviour confined to David. Otherwise, how would you suppose someone like Dave Chapelle navigates his own material without becoming ostracised as a racist, a misogynist or an ass? One word: discretion
Yeah, he hadn't quite figured out how to explain it the first time around. He said "thought it was a normal tortoise but closer", when he meant "thought it was closer than it actually was, giving it the appearance of a normal tortoise".
Keep in mind, the quality of shipboard rations at the time was, to put it _incredibly_ lightly, suboptimal. Maggot-infested, extra-hard hard tack kind of sub-optimal.
I wouldn't have been too expensive to have a second team captain because at the very inception of QI the creators intended to have Micheal Palin hosting with Stephen and Alan as team captains. Palin had to pull out at the last minute and Stephen took the job of hosting and Alan rather than being a captain became just became Stephens slightly confused student.
I agree, this stands in my mind as the best segment in QI history. I love the way you can see Alan and David's minds revving up as they begin to see the comedic potential of the concept.
Hello. I'm here to tell you how vague "one of the funniest" is. The un-funniest TV short ever would still be "one of the funniest". Thank you for listening. Have a nice day.
Now I want a Python-esque film about a naturalist in the early 19th century traveling around the world wanting to describe and catalog undiscovered species but his crew keeps eating all his specimens 😆😆😆
"Charles Darwin’s early years as a student of Christ’s College were not marked by great academic achievements. His first contribution to Cambridge life was the Glutton Club, which he formed with several friends. The sole purpose of this student society was to consume animal meat “before to unknown to the human palate”. The club did not last long, and ended abruptly after an unpleasant experience with a brown owl carcass." No wonder he became a naturalist. universityarms.com/the-journal/charles-darwins-glutton-club/
@@generalgk I imagine you're not British, so have misunderstood the import of @U-iN'sturn of phrase. We use it to mean _"Who else thought of this too?_ Shame you just used it as an opportunity to be an absolute arse.
Actually, back in the day, there was a BBC radio show called, "Does the Team Think." It's comedian panel ad-libbed in much the same way but to audience questions. It was aping "Any Questions" which is all about serious political debate. The "Does the Team Think" show was very popular through 50s to 70s, and has been reprised several times since... including on TV. (See Wikipedia.) Hey, as I now remember, there was an all-female version people could write in to where the different kind of wit of women was featured. It was called "Petticoat Line, " and was also v popular. (Yeah. Radio was quite a thing., once upon a time. Still is for some...)
This is probably my favorite segment in all of QI history. But I have one addition: Stephen says incredulously that even Darwin ate them. Of course Darwin ate them, he was an epicure and would've had twenty for himself, savoring every lovely bite of giant tortoise.
I believe Darwin belonged to a sort of society or club that existed for the members to sample as many different kinds of MEAT as could be laid hands on.... and then describe it. Apparently, Darwin was a bit underimpressed by OWL (?)
Well as an off-shoot, there is the CBC here in Canada... what you began with above is basically their motto compared to other programming stations who largely only Entertain and sometimes inform, but rarely if ever Educate.

Stephen's final question needs to be only for Alan, and it has to be a photo of a blue whale, and the question is "What is that?" Greatest pay-off for a running gag.
@@dismissing For someone who didn't want to get typecast as only doing panel shows, he didn't half do a lot of them! He was rightly celebrated as "A panel show top tier savage". He was a resident on 8 out of 10 Cats for 10 years! And then its sister programme, 8/10 Cats Does Countdown for nine years, a regular on Big Fat Quiz of The Year, Have I Got News For You, and They Think It's All Over, as well as hosting TV Heaven; Telly Hell, and Argumental... I honestly don't think he was asked to be on QI more often that he actually appeared. I for one was glad that he appeared on so many panel shows - I think he thrived on them, tbh.
From what I've read it's not so much that giant tortoises taste more delicious than any other meat, but rather that when you are stuck on a sailing ship and your only source of meat is old and heavily-salted, then having some nice fresh meat is an irresistible treat. It probably was just like David said: they agreed "OK we'll only eat some of them... maybe just one more... maybe just one more..." and pretty soon they were sitting around getting their story straight about how the last one unfortunately fell ill and died suddenly.
My favorite QI clip ever! I've never laughed so hard before or since. Painfully funny in the rib-aching way, this is how I introduce people to the show if they're curious why I obsessively watch a British panel show featuring celebrities they've never heard of. (Except for Mr. Fry, of course.)
But if this is the peak of the show (for you at least), doesn't that signal to the people you're showing it to that it all goes downhill from here? I mean if you're a comedian, you don't open with your best joke.
TheNutsoCharles I love how they interact with each other. That is for me one of the great qualities of this show and the guests they choose: they don't simply do bits of routines they have in their current comedy tour, but it is all about the actual topics and reacting on each other in some unforced manner. While there might be funnier moments in QI, this clip perfectly shows the appeal of that concept (I also recommend the bee bit for the same purpose).
4:01 Has the camera ever recorded Fry laughing *that* heartily? He laughs as much as anyone, of course. It's just that I can't recall seeing this particular form.
Given the very sad news of Sean Lock's passing, please honour his memory with a Sean Lock Supercut, I have a lot of free time to fill with Sean Lock being funny.
I loved this one qi laughed the first time I saw it, and have played it over several times and still laugh.......you can't be down after watching this episode......loved qi.......Toronto
I can imagine that crew. David saying "We'll eat eight!" Trying to organise it. Alan pleading with him "let's just go back and get some more!" and Sean the bastard eating the last one on the last leg of the journey.
The non-giant ones taste like very gamy beef or something like venison or elk but I imagine there are seasoning and preparation variants at play. I only had one sampling to judge of either wild game years apart. In comparison, I had goat three times and one was bland, the second was too much gristle but the last was among the best stewed meat I've ever eaten.
