I also loved Jimmy afterwards "and what were you doing when you were 19 years old? Nothing, that's right" And then everyone just moves on as if he never said a thing lol
JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Feigning ignorance is surely the most cowardly argument possible. In the event that you truly don't know (1) Google it (2) After which, proceed post haste to the nearest university with a substantial cultural anthropology department + fMRI. Show them your scrambled word- purée. They will be wild with joy at the opportunity to study the proto-BigFoot you embody.
I can totally see Stephen doing that too. He must have rescued Emma Thompson's script, read it and thought "Well this is bollocks." and wrote an entirely new one.
@@colinbaker3916 I guess Scott does a bit more outlandish tricks than casting delayed explosions atop a mountain and teleporting around. Namely animal decapitation.
@billyandrew it's him taking the piss because it's a TV only effect of cutting straight to when he's standing there, so the audience and panelists all just saw him walk in
@@JaneDoe-ci3gj Yeah, I'm sure it was all done in good humour, and Emma and Stephen clearly were friends. But imagine it being the other way. A man stripping naked to chase his lesbian friend around the house... I doubt a lot of people who think Emma's joke was funny, would find that very funny at all. They'd probably write an angry E-mail to the BBC and destroy that man on twitter.
God, Carrie was just such a character. There's such a simple joy in watching her just enjoying trying to remember lines after all that time. I have a feeling they would have also like to have asked Alan Rickman to come on had he not also died so soon, and same for Christopher Lee
Why is it gross? Have something against gay/bi/pan women, cause that's the only way someone could say that it's wrong for women to flirt with eachother.
"That picture of you was [...] the most downloaded image in the world." And it's the most replayed point in the video. In the words of David Mitchell, superb.
I love (and miss) Carrie Fisher. She was my first crush and I've loved everything she was in since Star Wars. Gotta watch Drop Dead Fred. She was hilarious in that. Especially when she was beating (imaginary) Fred with her shoe in the hallway.
Actually, the Superman logo was originally an S for Superman until the first Richard Donner movie in the 70s came out and said that it was the emblem of the House of El and it wasn't until 2004 that it came to mean hope.
The glasses Clark Kent wore, were made from the canopy of the ship he came to Earth in. His subconscious desire to be seen differently, was projected through them. Hypnotising people in to seeing him as older and trailer. When he took them off, the hypnotism stopped, and people saw Superman. DC published a comic explaining it in the 70s.
Until the 1978 movie, that the "S" stood for Superman *was* the canonical answer. Then Marlon Brando wore the same symbol, which made no sense at all, so since then the explanation has changed with every retcon, which DC does approximately every two weeks.
I love David Mitchell’s incredulity at Emma Thompson not remembering what her Oscar nominations were for. Clearly, we only remember what’s important to us.
Or she just genuinely has a brain like a sieve as she says. Although I saw a clip of her giving an interview on French tv in good French, making jokes and all, so I doubt she has any memory issues.
I would believe it, if Stephen Fry had said that he actually got the computer sorted out, read the script and found it to be inadequate; so then he proceeded to write the script of Sense and Sensibility in 7 hours and gave it to Emma Thompson.
@@harrycook9041 I thought the funniest thing is that Robin dominated that interview with Parkinson even though you could see him trying to be quiet while Stephen was talking. I think when Robin first appeared on The Graham Norton show similar happened and then the next time he was on it was only Robin. Gone but never forgotten. RIP.
The more I think about it the more convinced I am that Emma Thompson accidentally converted text to wingdings. In which case it would have been a matter of seconds to convert it back. I can just imagine Stephen Fry pretending it took him seven hours.
The question about the "S" was a bit unfair since originally, yes, it did just stand for Superman. It wasn't the movie in the 70s that it was changed to being the family crest of the House of El and not until 2004's Superman: Birthright that it stood for hope. And if you want to get pedantic (and why stop now) his "real" name is Clark Kent - he was born as Kal-El, but he was raised as Clark and that's the name he thinks of himself as.
Annoyed the fuck out of me. She didn't even reference the Birthright comic but the movie that came out 9 years later. But "real" name is also a vague question. His birth name is Kal-El but I'm assuming his passport and driver's licence says Clark Kent. But those had to have been made using a forged birth certificate so is that truly his legal "real" name? Some Chinese immigrants give their kids a name for the country they are in and a more traditional Chinese name as well. Which one is the "real" name? If you are adopted from a different country and your new parents give you a new name isn't that as real as the first one that your birth-parents gave you? So in all honesty both names are his real name, neither one is fake. The Kents didn't even know his other name so they weren't intentionally giving him a "wrong" name.
Also, his glasses aren't the only significant change in the disguise...he also switches the direction of his hair part to either appear left-handed as Clark or right-handed as Supes.
At any point in time the assertion that the S stands for Superman is illogical. He was given the name Superman by either Lois Lane or Perry White shortly after his first public appearance and of course he had his outfit well before then.
Eh, considering the hyperrecurring nature of most of the panel show circuit guests (Jupitus, Bailey, Fielding etc. etc.) then these one-off appearances by major celebs really are a cameo for the entire show.
@@carolynworthington8996 Wait, are you trying to tell us not every actor in every Hollywood movie was born and raised in that exact neighbourhood of the city of Los Angeles? Mind Blown! Quite Interesting.
Said it before, but imagine being the taxi driver taking Emma Thompson with computer in tow to Stephen Fry's place - sounds like a story no-one would believe...
No I think she had a corrupted save file. Back in the day word processors saved the text in a compressed format and if it go corrupted it looked like garbage when you opened it. Then again, she might just have accidentally changed the extension, which would have the same result.
3:28 - I would of gone wit omg in wounder woman 😂🤣 QI is awesome on so many levels n makes me laugh at the silliest thing's ☺ keep up the awesome work 👍
Actually, Hell would be the only place that very thing would happen every day in a continuous loop. You know, just to annoy you, being in hell and all.
but she's thick as pig shit, she knew nothing about the character she played or their universe at all, actors usually research their part if they actually want to do a decent job
@@IgglePyggle or she forgot it 'cause it was what 20 years ago. Then again you be amazed how many of say the MCU guys aren't big comic geks so might learn about their character and the basics of the universe and that it. Plus I sure I heard some of Smallville guys get a bit confused by the universe as a whole as they I think quite a few of them just went with the scripts and that is it
This kind of thicko. I always thought the S was his shirt size, the Kryptonians being an especially prepossessing race of peoples and Superman was just a rather puny specimen.
Wiki: the "S" on Superman's chest at first was simply an initial for "Superman". When writing the script for the 1978 movie, Tom Mankiewicz made it Superman's Kryptonian family crest. This was carried over into some comic book stories and later movies, such as Man of Steel. In the comic story Superman: Birthright, the crest is described as an old Kryptonian symbol for hope.
With regards to the Super Man thing, its worth pointing out that, comic books being comic books, the symbol has meant several different things over the years, and obviously originally it just stood for 'Super'.
