William the Conqeuror, in his own life was known as William the Bastard because he wouldn't let anyone else use the remote.

@@spadebraithwaite1762 🤣 "Ugh, frankly Bill I'd rather be thrown in an oubillette than watch any more of these reruns of Storage Wars.....Think I'm movin, to Wales." >:/

Canadians, too.

Americans know the difference between jam, jelly, and gelatin

ayes, that was just begging to be enlarged upon. Poor Patsy laboured in vain (it was Patsy wasn't it?).

@mctavish199 "come, patsy" yeah you got it

i literally own 2 coconut halves for the specific purpose of playing "holy grail" bits. i feel cultured, as an american, to have that depth of humor.

I'd be like talking about lungs because there's air nearby you, it's just part and parcel of the thing

Kind of blew my mind

Forced can also mean powered.

@bchearne, It comes from a play «R.U.R.» («Rossum's Universal Robots») - by Karel Chapek written in 1920 году, he died in a concentration camp in 1943.

in modern english, "robotic" still means "mindless and repeated." basically a machine doing the same thing over and over without thought.

brain the size of a planet, and asked to bring them up to the bridge

“robota” means simply “work” or “labour” in most Slav languages. There’s no element of compulsion (beyond that normally used to get people out of bed on a Monday).

Er, I've just watched the North American lobster and the stone crab fisherman, from Florida and showed him to remove both front claws.

my brother was a fisherman and You're correct in that's the humane practice , but in reality it then takes twice the effort and time to complete the quota so unfortunately both claws are a common practice ...

Lol, so many keyboard vigilantes

Yes, it is different. Jam is thicker and softer and has recognizable fruit in it and jelly is firmer and doesn't have recognizable pieces of fruit in it. Next we have marmalade...

Where does your other ) belong😂😂😂

@@thequokkahaslanded321 Fixed!

Fruit is both singular and plural. There is no need to say fruits.

...and then there's "freezer jam".

in UK, That is what I was taught as a kid, although it was "royal jelly" . I haven't seen it used for years except for alleged "posh" products.

i want to know why we cant get Fry episodes in the US. it's all restricted. it's stupid, we love fry over here! we want the show! we want the show!

for some reason, no youtube channel, including BBC and QI, will show Fry full episodes in the US. we can see clips, but not full episodes. ITS BS BECAUSE WE LIKE FRY!

​@@ghomerhustThey used to be on a a couple of streaming channels, because I watched a lot of them. And I also watched a lot on RU-vid.

Someone said he dresses like a Batman villain and it’s all I can see now

I'm one of his greatest fans, but I have to disagree about him being well dressed. His taste is atrocious, his colour combinations disastrous. But that's quite endearing in itself. His mind is one of the sharpest around, his knowledge apparently infinite, and he oozes empathy.

I have clinical depression and I think if I got on an episode it might cure it.

I get 'depressed' when people don't close their parentheses.

i feel this comment deeply. people who are dumber than average actually cause me mental distress. i've been tested multiple times, starting over 25 years ago for military service, and more recently for less happy reasons, and the results all said "big numbers over 130" and "wow that's a lot of autism." im ok with both, but it makes your comment hit even harder!

@@ghomerhust I have become a quasi hermit.If I stay in my apartment for more than a day or two, at most, it negatively affects my mood. Yet, I have withdrawn from friendships for the reason (plus a few others) I stated. At this point in life (I admit to being 10,000 years old😉), I get my social needs met by what many would label "superficial relations (people at my favorite coffee shop, restaurants, bookstores, etc.) True there is little depth, but there is a great deal more calm. Who knows? Maybe I am just bad at choosing friends, but I do know this it's my life to figure out, as best I can. Two RU-vid channels I watch are " The School of Life, and "Einzelganger". I can't say they are for everyone, but consider viewing them and see what you think. One other bit Socrates said, " The unexamined life is not worth living." I believe this to be true, but I add this warning, "The life to frequently and too closely examined is a living nightmare." I do not claim to be a great thinker, in the quality of my thoughts, but I overdo it in terms of quantity. Good luck! I hope your reach the place where you wish to be, and that it brings you your own brand of happiness.

I have friends like this…

Welcome to QI, where they often just make things up.

Yeah, I noticed they tend to use one word for similar things like that. Where we differentiate between jelly, jam, preserves, etc, they just call it all jam.

It's a little bit of both. Manufacturers always differentiate on their label, but in common usage the word "jelly" covers both since it's largely just personal preference. But you will never hear someone use the word "jam" in that way, the guy above has absolutely zero clue about word usage in the US.

@@ev6558 who me?

@@Pagliacci_Rex I don't see anyone else here.

Is that Stephen's gayer brother?

@@cyrushalfacre9368 exactly 😉

​@@cyrushalfacre9368 I think he means Stephen's German cousin, Wulff.

Tarzan The Ape Man, (from 1981 with Bo Derek) is an entertainment crime against Humanity! OOF!

Jam doesn't have to have seeds in. So yes, jam is called jelly in the US. Some variations might be called differently

@@JC_923 I've always known the difference between jam and jelly. As a kid I preferred jelly, as an adult, jam.

Well, I don't quite think it was BS. I have seen them and they do fly for what feels like a long long time. But even 10 seconds is quite a while for a fish. You kind of expect it to be like an extra long jump, but it is much, much more like a bird flying than a fish jumping. If you watch birds flitting around in the garden, you almost never see one flying for 30 seconds at a time simply because they would probably be out of sight by that time. Flying fish are very fast so if your boat isn't moving, they can put quite a bit of distance between you in even a short flight, which is why videos don't often do justice to how cool they are. In any case, I think she was just overestimating the actual time ("minutes and minutes") and trying to get across the point that they really do seem to fly for a surprising amount of time.

You may be right about all of that, but in the video, Fry definitely has the "I'm calling BS on that" vibe. @@leafan101

@@BumMcFluff Maybe, but I think he was just being kind of funny about, claiming she was not remembering correctly, rather than saying she is lying.

You're probably right.@@leafan101

@@leafan101 they fly longer than a chicken/ostrich/emu, which is a bird, an animal known for FLIGHT......

carr's tactic is "push the buttons" because he's great at reacting to that. crude + reaction is how he builds his shows. ive seen like 9 of them, he's good at what he does

Jimmy does talk about noncing kids a bit too much. I hope he doesn’t turn out to be a friend of saville one day.

i own 2 old coconut shells specifically for instances when i need to make horse sounds. because im a rare cultured american

@@ghomerhust😂😂😂

i do think it would be like doing a silent goofy walk with a cane and a mustache and then saying, "hey you know that was charlie chaplin" - just too on the nose. everyone at that table spent their childhoods, like you and me, watching python and the goons and hanging out with Doug.

Before _Monty Pythons Flying Circus_ there was _Bonzo Dog doo-dah Band_ who did this: (which seems apt) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--IE1-OWsXEE.html

I had barely looked at the screen, when I recognised her :) She visited my hometown when I was a kid, back in the 80s, but I never forgot her face

He got good looking ones at least :P

@@FullOfRabbits Of course, I wouldn't even have noticed he had them, if it weren't so obvious due to this footage.

That is a very baldy, baldy baldy, funny bald Welshman remark. I think we could all try to be a bit more sensitive to funny, bald Welshmen! Shame on you!

and preserves are made with the songs of angels and the sugar of the heavens

I was watching the movie "Willow" and heard the scream twice.

because preserves are also made with the laughter of angels and the happiness of pure moonlight

I was thinking that. Because of that episode of Friends when Chandler mentions jams and jellies.

No

Us too! Us too!

i ignore all of them and go straight for "preserves" because i dont like PASTE....

What they call jam we call jelly because they don't differentiate between them. Jelly there is Jell-O but jam is pretty much any fruit based spread.

@@Pagliacci_Rex Incorrect.

@@ev6558 seriously? Get a life.

@@Pagliacci_Rex Your "life" is sitting in a QI comment section telling Americans how they speak in their own country while getting angry at people who do the same to you.

@@ev6558 and you can't read.

The dee that, the dee...

Pourquoi !? Qu'est-ce qui se passe!? Reg and Rich aren't funny!? They're very clever for sure and wit is definitively hilarious.

Sieved.

Not quite. Jelly is made with fruit juice, jam is made with fruit. You can have seedless jam.

What you would call jelly, the brits call jam.

What is the difference? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@LeeAnneGuerin The main difference is that jelly is made with just the fruit juice while jam/preserves are made with both juice and the whole fruit. Jam is easier to spread, too. Jelly has an almost slightly jello like consistency. It's a little bit wiggly, for lack of a better way to say it. When we say peanut butter and jelly sandwich, we're talking about the one with just juice and traditionally grape jelly. That being said, jam is good with peanut butter, too. Strawberry jam is good with peanut butter...although it might be considered sacrilege by some! Lol

@@Mark-sx3rf Does British jam have whole fruit in it? If it does, we would also call it jam. If it only has fruit juice and not the whole fruit, too, then we would call jelly. So do the British call what Americans call jam, preserves? The words jam and preserves are used to mean the same thing in America. Wow! This is watching QI has done to me! I didn't think the jam/jelly thing could get this involved! Lol

​@@marywood2865Jelly is a "set" fruit juice. Jam is spreadable preserve made with sugar and fruit but can be chunky, bitty or smooth.

Not true

​@@NeungViewI'm a non native speaker (and partially deaf). Don't you have anything better to do?

"Quintessential". That's the word we needed. Problem solved.
