@@blackbird5634 Thankfully he does have the breeding and refinement to engage correctly with ACTUAL royalty, and it was precisely that trait that made him such a delight as a host. He is as close to a renaissance man as this species has at the moment.
Yeah i imagine it happens to comedians a lot. They make up or exaggerate so many stories for stand up routines it's surprising they don't forget which is which more often.
Ulquiorra4sama omf i was sat here looking at your icon trying to think of the bleach character i knew it was and then looked at your name I was just saw trying to remember his name genuinly for almost 5 minutes im so stupid
He is a magnificent story teller. I love his role in Qi, and as they explained in the making of, smart as hell too. I loved Stephen Fry, I thoroughly enjoy Sandy. But Alan being around makes it the class act it has been for over 15 years now. No one is irreplaceable but Alan is inching towards that threshold!
Eh? What's wrong with laughing at that? She spewed red lentil and tomato soup all over herself and ended up looking like Carrie. Yes, it looked like she'd committed hara-kiri, but... it was only red soup, man. Good job it wasn't mulligatawny; that's brown and looks like diarrhoea. ;-)
Alan Davies is so often the butt of jokes in this programme yet he is always good natured about it and he is invariably funny without being offensive to or about anyone
For me it's gotta be the amount of funny animal impersonations he does. Top ones being him n Bill Bailey with the lobster walking and the 5 headed caterpillar 🤣 @@colossaltitan3546
Just finished Alan Davies' 2020 memoir "Just Ignore Him" and my great love for his humour on QI just grew by leaps and bounds, knowing what he's gone through as a child.
I keep thinking whenever he's talking about his daughters and how bloody LUCKY they are. And how permanently exhausted his spouse must feel being the only adult in the family)))
@@donnadizucchero "And how permanently exhausted his spouse must feel being the only adult in the family" This feminist trope is getting old. I'd expect her to get up to check on her daughter, being the only adult and all.
@@ararune3734 he reminded me of my own father, it's just the only thing that I know pretty well; also a show biz person too; and neither me nor me mom are feminists, ahhahaha, I'm exreeeemely conservative btw in those "tropes")))
I did the exact same thing once. I forgot I was supposed to go to work sunday morning, went out drinking saturday night, came home, passed out and when my alarm went off four hours later I just picked up my phone and screamed into it: "WHAT IS THIS THING, WHY IS IT MAKING THIS NOISE?!" and literally punched it until it went quiet.
I work in hotels and every time a fire alarm goes off you always have a handful of guests who think it's only in their room. The funniest thing is when it happens around check out time and they phone reception saying "why are you sounding an alarm in my room?! I've got another 30 minutes until check out." Yes sir, we actually sound alarms to get people out the rooms, and the really late ones we break the door down with a hose in hand 😂
I'd picture Sandi as much "the brain of the show" as Stephen. Her broad knowledge, sharp wit, and intelligence astound me. But they are/were both undoubtedly the heart of the show, too!
Miming a lot of it out in an amusing way as you talk goes a long way. I'm also fond of the Richard Pryor method, where you personify everything in the story. You'll notice a common thread when Richard would tell a story, of how often parts of his body talked to him. "And my legs said, 'Fuck it!'" etc.
@@gopherfacts6915 Same with me: despite seeing it dozens- possibly hundreds of times, I always forget which episode it’s off, and have to google “Alan frog story” haha. I know the routine off by heart, but it still makes me laugh, every time I see it. All the best.
I don't know why british shows are so appealing...... Graham norton, QI even the older shows like blackadder and a bit of fry and laurie or even new shows like netflix's crown ....... Way to go Britain, keep it up
Coz we are great at dead-pan realistic comedy, as are the Scottish & Irish... & we don’t take ourselves too seriously anymore, as most cultures who have been around more than 500 years don’t... 😊
Two friends decide to combine Stephens knowledge and Alans humour to create a knowledge game show for all types of people. Who knew that learning could be so fun 😉
It'd be great to have Karl Pilkington on. Him, Bill Bailey, Alan, and Ross Noble would be a panel rife with banter, with Sandi pulling her hair out trying to make sense of it all. That is my one wish to the QI Elves. Please see it done.
You're assuming Pilkington has any interest in these shows at all. The only way you would get him on this show is if it was an episode entirely dedicated to monkeys doing cool shit.
@Monty Python the Flying Circus That would be the greatest episode in QI history. Add Celia Imrie as the fourth guest and that panel would be MARVELLOUS!
I love when Colin tried to come back at Stephen after he made a joker about his reward, then was immediately shut down by him saying he was the first one to receive it
Just discovered this adorable human. What a feeling! Savouring the early stage of discovery while it lasts. Not surprised that I am immensely infatuated.
I can imagine a tv series similar to "As yet untitled" where Alan, Stephen, Bill Bailey et al just sit like this, yarning with each other and making us all fall about in the process. What better way to fill an evening?
My favorite part about the perrier award story is that Noel Fielding was also on that episode and he won Best Newcomer at Edinburgh with the Boosh a few years later. What a fantastically funny panel
The story of Alan, his dog, and the frog is one of my favorites. I somehow missed the episode with the story at 5:45. LMAOYSST. My favorite is not here. It isn't really a story, though; it's from S1 E1, where Alan just mentions what a pub landlord he knew used to say when he saw a woman he liked the look of. It isn't what Alan said, but the reactions of the rest of the panel that slay me every time.
Oh Britain, what it must feel like to have your greatest national treasures already assembled and available for public appreciation at the click of a button...
