Watch more QI @TheQIElves QI Rounds With Sandi Toksvig And Stephen Fry Together! Before Sandi took over as being the host of QI, She was a panelist on the show! Here are the funniest rounds from this era! #qi #stephenfry #britishcomedy
Everest climber Lincoln Hall, who was presumed dead and abandoned at 8700m. The next morning a group of climbers found him changing his clothes, alive, awake, and almost naked. He survived Everest to Found the Australian Himalayan Foundation
People were STARVING! Hitter’s bombs destroyed their homes and wiped out the docks & railways and shipbuilding & other industries where they worked. The social safety net was in it’s infancy - not yet robust enough to support the homeless. What the hell would YOU do in that situation? You should have sympathy for the looters not infer condemnation!
I know! I think she's so underrated 😕 I also think you can see in these clips why they wanted Sandi when Stephen left - her rapport with Alan is obvious even then (and I think that's part of why I love her series' so much) ❤
I thought Edmund Hillary's berating of Mark Ingalls (double amputee) for Climbing Everest and passing David Sharp, who was still alive but barely conscious, was unfair. There was nothing Mark could do given that he really had no legs and others had mistaken David for Green Boots. The hard part of Everest is staying alive, the easy part is the climbing. Both are necessary but a lot get lost, fall and die.
Wow, I am.Australian and didn't know that. Obviously wasn't trained well enough by great-grandpa in how to properly dispose of a body (no doubt there is a section about it somewhere in that darn book!)
I believe John Hodgman tried to get an American version of QI made. Never happened, but I think he was a big reason why the show got on BBC America. As to why an extra panelist, they probably had already booked everyone else and he was available only for that particular taping of the show or something like that.
Bits? What bits? This discussion of a goose as a wiper of “knock holes” is a hoot. (Pun intended). But what are the men talking about “bits”? This must be a male thing. I’m flummoxed. Is there a man out there who can explain this to me, please?
If you mean the part at 8:20 he's talking about the "bits" of poo, it would "get all the bits" meaning be able to clean thoroughly. I think it was partly in reference to Sean's earlier comment about the scorpion having a sharp point so it could dig into any folds of skin (the "knibbly bits"), which you tend to get if you have haemorrhoids, which approximately half the population will have at some point in their lives by age 50.
How is “Jedi” any more ridiculous than “Christian”? They were both imagined and fabricated by people. Maybe it’s about popularity.. if enough people do a ridiculous thing, they have to be taken seriously 🤦🏻♂️
Most democratic countries with freedom of religion have some relatively broad, but objective, criteria that a congregation has to meet to be registered as an official religion and receive the benefits of being a registered religion. "Jedi" does not fulfill these criteria, and since it's a government census there is no official way to register "Jedi". You are of course free to consider yourself a Jedi nonetheless, but in matters of bookkeeping, it isn't a registered religion. :)
Because there is no one with a sincere belief in the Jedi religion, unlike the millions of people with a sincere and heartfelt belief in the Christian faith.
@@johnwhite1356 80-odd million people had a sincere and heartfelt belief in Mrs Hitler's little boy! That proved to be about as much benefit to the human race as a belief in some non-existent Sky Pilot! 🙄😱😵💫
Lots of people have grown up hearing lazy male comics get big laughs about fat women, loud women, lazy women, and ugly women. There’s an old standard, “Take my wife *pause* please. *hold for laughs*”. Because female comedians often don’t tell this type of lazy joke, some people don’t think they are funny. That’s the comedy they grew up with. Therefore, if comedy isn’t making fun of women in some way, they don’t find it funny. There’s a way you can still make fun of women in comedy, as a male. You just have to say something sexist, then say ooooo. The implication is “look at me, I’m being a bad boy”. That allows you to still make fun of women, and get away with that type of lazy humour. I can think of many funny, female comics. A lot of them appear on QI. Sarah Millican is one I enjoy immensely.
… and right on queue, a “joke” about women talking too much. Oh, I’m sorry sir. Were the two women having a conversation that took attention away from you? Time to tell a lazy joke at their expense! Oh well done you.
And no male comedian has ever made a joke at their own expense, have they? You're really stretching here trying to play the part of the noble defender of women.
Pack your bags! We’re going on a guilt trip! This is such a load of horse manure, you are talking about I don’t know, decades ago. The only comedian who does jokes on women, yawn, are female comedians. And only the real good ones know how to expand to other topics and are actually funny! Usually I find most female comedians a bore exactly for that reason, this fanny focused victim card playing lazy comedy is usually restricted to female comedians themselves only.
@@Argeaux2this comment is so dumb I don’t know where to begin. The assignment within this episode was earning extra points for being loud mouthing the other team. Hence this joke and it was a golden one, perfectly placed within the episode boys vs girls.
@@ConnorEllisMusic it’s not bullshit women aren’t particularly funny, there are indeed some funny women out there but if you look at all the best comedians ever no woman even cracks the top 20, Christopher Hitchens wrote a great article on why women aren’t funny you should read it. It’s not just me saying this every single study ever backs up my claim, women are even less inclined to find other women funny they are far far more likely to laugh at mens jokes than other females
Can't understand the Pakistan transgender bit. I was in Karachi in 1963 and frequently saw policemen and soldiers walking down the street holding hands. With today's lingo I'm not sure whether that's transgender or just queer.
