QI | Which Board Game Ends In Fire? 

Every time this gets uploaded, I think its going to be Jumanji

Ghost Boxing? I think you mean... _Fright_ _Club_

What board game ends in fire? That would be Intercontinental Thermonuclear War. A strange game. They only way to win is not to play.

I can't get over the sheer joy in Sean Lock's face when he invents ghost boxing! :D

"Dead people just joined in" is one of my favourite punchlines of this show. It never stops to make me laugh!

If dead people want to communicate with the living through a board game it would be Cluedo surely?

Every board game ends in fire at my house!

When he said it was in a film, I thought "Damn, they played Jumanji for real back in the old days ?"

It's funny, because monopoly games at my house often end with attempted arson.

That would be an incredibly weird interpretation of 12 Angry Men where Juror 1 goes: "Well, to settle this debate -- bring in the Ouija board!"

Can you burn a Luigi board?

Excuse me, there *was* a film of mousetrap. It was called Mousehunt. Nathan Lane and Lee Evans with a side of Christopher Walken. I loved it and its slapstick comedy but it recieved mediocre reviews from most.

I have a game called "The Downfall of Pompeii", where eliminated people get thrown into a scale model of a volcano.

Every ghost boxing match has to end with "stop, stop! He's already dead"

I wanna see people try to communicate with the dead through connect 4.

"Dead people just joined in" hahahaha! Alan is a absolute classic with his wit.

Sean has so many brilliant points in such a compact amount of time 👏👏👏

Ouija board used to figure out if the guy was guilty -> The jury subconsciously agreed he was guilty and it came out on the Ouija board -> The guy was retried by a different jury and ultimately found guilty That makes sense

Sean Lock's mind is an amazing and wonderful place!

I sent a message to Elvis via an Ouija Board. It came back marked "return to sender." 😁

Nobody's ever "won" a game of tag either, that's still considered a game.

I would classify a Ouija Board as more of an old time "party game" than a board game. Either way, I clearly recall advertisements for it in the early 90's, so it seems The Exorcist didn't completely kill off interest.

I reckon if I were dead, I'd have a far easier time trying to communicate through a game of Boggle.

However successful The Exorcist became, that was a bit unfortunate for Parker Bros! "Great idea for a film -- let's involve a ouija board, they're popular right now" Film makes megabucks, ouija board sales tank...

Sean Lock is a national treasure.

RIP Sean Lock (April 22, 1963 - August 16, 2021), aged 58 You will be remembered as a legend.

That's a baller ass suit the host has on

"Your attempt to contact Elvis is important to us..."

"If they didn't like it, they could go to hell..." wonderful finishing quote there...

Stephen looks so exasperated when he hears mousetrap. 😂

Heh? Film in 72? The film The Exorcist came out in December 1973. The book came out in 71. Facts are difficult. Where is the “ahogaah” klaxon for the host?

"Which board game ends in fire?" Uh... Flashpoint, fire rescue?

Which board game ends in fire? Easy: Crossfire, the 1970’s Milton Bradley game. I had it as a kid ... hours of fun.

'I think it's loneliness' amazing 😂

Sean Lock is funnier on QI than on his stand up act.

There was an underground ghost boxing club and people would bet on it but they rioted because 2 days into the fight it was announced that it was a fight to the death.

"It was not originally supposed to be dead people" *Dead people joined the game*

Sean Locke is brilliant

Is a ouiji board really a game? I don't remember seeing a film with a Ouija board with "alright who won?"

4:56 *Revelation. There is no “s” at the end.

Before I watched this clip, I imagined the game to be Dungeons & Dragons. Haven't had a fiery lake of sulphur happen to me just yet, but there's no rules that say you can't do it for fun lol

Steven Fry doesn't know that Mouse Trap has indeed got an incredibly funny film based on it...Mouse Hunt!

I'm still trying to popularise a nickname for the Glasgow City Council - the weegie board!

Not monopoly, that game only ends when hell freezes over

I had a religous studies teacher in secondary school who warned us about the dangers of ouija boards needless to say I think she was mad

Is everyone just going to ignore that right at the end Stephen that " if they didn't like it they could just to hell" referring to the kids who go it as presents 😂😂

I love Sean's opening line.. I hope its showjumping.. I hate showjumping... I miss his quick fire dry wit

Interesting how the word game has become to mean competition rather than having fun.

Oh my god I got the right answer, I think this is my greatest accomplishment

Well. That explains why it never worked for me. ... I’m Dyslexic 🤣

Monopoly is the devils work, no family completes a game without violence and betraying each other. Fun though.

They tried to bring back the Ouija board as the Ouya game console. It didn't work.

Ouija is not a game- a game has a rules/mechanics and a goal (game theory), and Ouija does not have a discrete, defined toy. Ouija is a toy manufacturer by a notable board game company, using manufacturing methods and materials traditionally used for board games. To say Ouija is a board game is like saying anything made of cardboard and wood is a board game.

When I was in psych ward us patients made ouija boards to pass the time. When the staff found out they were angry and banned ouija boards. I never understood why the staff were so angered by a game. Does anyone have an idea why they reacted that way?

“There is no film of Mousetrap” Not of the board game, true.

There was a game which I unfortunately cant recall the name of, but it was a warfare strategy game where you played world war 3 using a large paper map (presumably of Europe) and moved your armies using paper markers. And it had the rule that stated: "to simulate use of nuclear weapons, soak map with lighter fluid and apply a lit match" It might seem a bit tongue in cheek, but I honestly can't think of a better way to show to a player how bad the idea of using nuclear weapons are in conventional warfare as it basically just an act of "I'm tired of this game and don't want to play it anymore"

I've never made a balloon animal in my life, yet I get the same punishment.

MVP goes to Sean Locke at the end, sparing us from Phil's unfunny joke about balloon animals

Jupitus is stealing a living as a comedian

Oh, Monopoly (or Monotony, as we call it in our house). Boredom sets in and the board game and property cards and paper money all go into the fireplace. Good riddance!!

3:39 ghost boxing is the only way I can describe jojo's bizarre adventures

Ghost Boxing!!!

What film has a Ouija board in it? Problem the film “Ouija”?

The Thumbnail looks like Susan Boyle 🤣

3:38 Jojo''s Bizarre Adventure: The Board Game.

A LUIGI BOARD?

The court case was R v Young (Stephen) (Citation: [1995] QB 324; [1995] 2 WLR 430). However, the jury was not dismissed by the judge as stated in the clip. It was some weeks later that the revelation was published in the News of the World that some of the jurors had employed a makeshift ouija board made of a piece of paper and a wine glass. It was subsequently brought before the Court of Appeal (see citation) where the appeal was allowed and a retrial was ordered. In other related 'games and juries' examples, a jury in a 2008 Australian case was dismissed as some of the jurors had been distracting themselves from a long trial by playing sudoku in the jury box [Citation: R v Lonsdale and Holland (District Court of NSW, Judge Zahra, June 2008)]. It may be surprising for the public to hear of juries conducting themselves in such a manner, but in these instances the media coverage was the unusual factor in that the majority of jury misconduct cases are not reported in the press.

Ends in all the players thrown into a lake of fiery sulfur??? ...I've been playing this game wrong.

I've only recently found this show. I want to watch all of it, this show is its namesake.

0:30 B I B L I C A L

There's a board game that both starts and ends in fire, as the idea is to rescue as many people from a burning building as possible before the fire kills all the fire rescue team. Ah, somebody before me mentioned it. Flashpoint, Fire Rescue.

But can you really broadcast LIVE ghost boxing?

QI | Which Board Game Ends In Fire? 0449am 3.8.23 seance? he's been reading magnetic fields....

If I'm a conspiracy theorist, and I'm trying to convince people my theory is true, I'm going with "Elvis is alive" over "Elvis is a ghost" ten times out of ten.

I find it weird how they seem to have no understanding of just the concept of a game that doesn't involve winners and losers.

Shit, I just realized I could probably contact Sean Lock's ghost now.

Monopoly if they cheat

So, it's not Snakes & Ladders??? Awwww...

I wish they would ban "Operation". So dangerous to encourage kids to cut up their friends. "Can I have a go?", says Mum, excitedly...

Sean Lock'... Truly missed. R.I.P.

Posthumous twitter .....twitterposthumous - aren't they found in African rivers ?

you're procrastinating RN

There certainly is a movie called mousetrap.

mousetrap is a film, sometimes Stephen..... sometimes

It's a toy, not a game.

Elvis seance: "Is there anybody there?".... *"Uh huh huh"*

Sean Lock could be right, it would explain all those ghosts who look like someone with a sheet over their head, they have been at it so long all their features have been pummelled flat :P

I still don't get how the game ends with fire. Because the bible says so? That's a lame question.

Where is the justice or commonsense in this world where Sean Lock is dead but Gary Glitter still lives?

So fun fact there is a game called conquest for africa called the hardedt board game ever made Games take up too 300 hours and include concepts like the italian troups needing more water per unit to boil there spaghetti

If when you die you go to the spirit world for eternity, then surly you could contact your own spirit whilst still alive? Do I win five pounds?

Look up "automatic writing" it is a true psychological phenomenon.

I read the title and immediately guessed Monopoly.

Ghost boxing! That's the spirit!

Monopoly should end in everyone being thrown into fire. Not the pieces, the players.

I thought it was going to be the Lord of the Rings game

"and then the dead people have joined in"... 🤣

The thumbnail is truly magnificent.
