The Very Best Of Sean Lock On QI! 

The "Why do I go out killing?" Joke is classic.

''I hear voices, but I ignore them and just carry on killing.'' Brilliant.

The speed with which Stephen says “Nurse! Nurse, he’s out of bed again!” in response to Sean’s claim (albeit true) that banana plants walk always gets me cackling.

The portal to the underworld is a genius bit that saved a very dry section from being cut out! The Director and Producer blessed Sean that day.

I always liked Sean Lock, but my respect and admiration for him rose considerably after his 'portal to the underworld' joke that effectively cut off that insufferable Rory McGrath being a self-flagellating bore. Most QI fans suspect that McGrath was the 'unnamed guest' who demanded to know what all the questions would be for each show they appeared on in advance, so they could research them and make themselves look super-clever by apparently knowing almost all of the answers. And, having watched that particular show in full, I can attest McGrath had been smug and very condescending right from the start. Sean was THE ONLY PERSON on that panel who finally stood up to him and knocked him off his pedestal, because Sean was a good man who believed everyone should share the spotlight, not just one self-important prick who thought he was better than everyone else. He could've even been nasty about it, but no - he took the diplomatic route instead, and used humour rather than humiliation so there would be no uncomfortable atmosphere afterwards. The man was a class act, and was taken far too soon.

Sean was a unique human being, greatly missed.

Sean Locke was one of those pure comedians, always about making the most people laugh in any situation. And made it look so natural and effortless.

I see Sean as the aggregation of all the funniest drinking buddies that I've ever had. It's just silly humour that in theory anyone could come up with in a goofy moment, but every now and then you perceive the deeper level - and his ability to improvise over and over again shows his skill.

Rorys face when Sean is just mocking him is beautiful, Sean Lock was a legend

"Sean's aliiive!"...that hit me. Miss his brilliant presence on our TV sets. Thanks for the compilation.

imagine if when they properly read Sean Lock's will, there was a passage that said "okay, I think it should be safe enough now to go dig up all the bodies in the backyard. no matter how many times I confessed, you never wanted to believe me"

The depressed person failing at dolphin therapy part is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs sean!

Imagine if in a few years a bunch of bodies turn up and it's proven that Sean did it. And here we have him confessing three times on pretty popular TV shows, in front of a live audience even.

What strikes me mostly about these clips is that Stephen was such a natural host. Probably lots of preparation, a wealth of common knowledge and the grace to let the comedians shine.

I "discovered" Sean while watching British quiz shows on youtube. That lead me to his stand-up. The man was truly awesome and was gone too soon.

Thanks for putting this compilation up. Really highlights how good Sean Locke was. Some of the surreal stuff, like on cats dows countdown, but also shows his intelligence too. In ways Rory McGrath will only ever dream of.

Loved the way Sean rinsed the pompous Rory .

So sad to lose such a funny man at the peak of his career.

One of my favourites was when Stephen asked “what was the most disastrous musical jingle?” And Sean sang “free Myra hindley!” 😄

It's the Dolphins joke for me, it absolutely ruins me! Edit: The "ladder into space" episode was first aired in Oct 2007. 16 years later, a video game has now been created where you bounce on a series of trampolines into space. Sean was way ahead of the curve.

Walking banana plants... Why is there not a B grade 1950s sci-fi movie about this?

To any german out there, please do this man the honour of occasionally thinking about the 1966 world cup final and getting a bit annoyed.

Sean's humor was so abstract and wild but dripping with sarcasm truly unique and one of the few ive seen reduce other comics to giggling wrecks

Sean Lock winding up Rory Mcrath is brilliant, he is indeed a tosser

The bit about the koala made even Rich Hall crack! 😂😂

I miss Sean Lock more than some close relatives who have passed. He was such a presence on our screens ... the funniest, most likeable guy...! I genuinely miss his sense of humour so much. What a loss. I hope his family take some solace in the fact that people have been able to let it be known how much he was appreciated, and is missed 👍

When he shouted "Sean's alive" Ah, how I wished that were true today😥

"I hear voices." "DO YOU?!" "But I ignore them and just carry on killing." Set-up...and knocked, Sean.

I think Sean is the only person to astounded Stephen Fry with a snippet of knowledge twice. ) 2;48 with the Gobi toad story and with the fact kids tastebuds change.

The DONT MENTION THE WAR bit was pretty amazing

If it suddenly came out that sean locke was actually a never caught serial killer; i think it would only make these funnier with how casual everyone is when he says it

Sean Lock was such a naturally, effortlessly funny man. There are very few people with that quality.

One of the best comedians ever. So sad he's gone. Real working man's joker.. rip feller❤

'I hope it's showjumping' 😂 incredible

That cormorants skit Sean did is golden! So precious

I miss Sean so much this guy was a joke machine thanks Sean love to your family

Absolute legend Sean lock...RIP...love from Udupi, India

He was one of a kind. Sorely missed on TV. HIs legacy will never die and continue to make us laugh with what he's left us.

Sean was an awesome comedic talent!!

One of the greats! You'll always be missed Sean

I remember the episode with Rory McGrath .. he was such a smart ass that it almost ruined the episode. I will always be thankful that Sean Lock was there to take the piss!

I miss Sean 😢. Just knowing Jon Richardson gets to go home with a carrot on Christmas annoys me.

I will never stop watching Sean Lock videos.

RIP Shaun Lock. British comedy legend😂❤👏👏👏

When even Bill Bailey looks bewildered and slightly scared, you know you've got a winning joke

Lmao "DON'T MENTION THE WAR" sirens

8:00 Sean’s timing is immaculate! As soon as he hears the beginning of what we still have to find out is a geeks argument, he’s off!! I just now realised how impressive that is! That guy was a genius comedian, this compilation proves it, though unnecessary, yet heart warming and very much needed to clense my palet of all the rubbish in the news! What a hero. Thank you Sean! And yes i do appreciate the gravitas of the moment (oct ‘23) but it such a pile i thankfully waste my minutes on Sean!! RIP my man!

such a huge loss that Sean is gone. Absolute legend.

7:04 And THAT is why McGrath has never been invited back

The koala part made me laugh so much that after a point I could not breathe and instead of laughing made something akin to a death rattle 😅

Lock was a comic genius!! Never forgotten.

Arguiing over the Latin name for a bird LOL And Sean smashes the discussion. Classic!

That dolphin bit never gets old. My sides are in orbit!

Taken too soon. I can only imagine how hilarious he would have been as an old man, he definitely would have got more outrageous with time.

"I was talking about The Great Geschmerzrift'!" LMFAO!!!!!!!!

The dolphin joke is too good 😂

The Germans just walked in to Holland when they want and spin the windmills 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

NOT a twin engine JET plane but a twin engine PROP plane. That was the running gag in the movie Airplane. Anytime they would show the plane flying, the used the sound of a prop plane but clearly showing a jet plane.😊

It’s such a heartbreak to know we’ll never get any more content from him

Brilliant comedian, may he rest in peace and happiness

The bit where he shouts "SEANS ALIVE!" if only mate, if only😢

When Sean did his impression of a Koala, he looked a lot like Henry McGee.

Bless that man. Fondly remembered and sadly missed.

Sean came up with the idea of Only Up🤣

He would of made for such an entertaining old man, we lost a British icon! So sad! Better to celebrate him like this though! 🙂

I hope it’s show jumping 😂😂

The world will never see another exactly like Sean Lock. :-/

one of the best story tellers of modern history

There are more things I don't know than there are molecules in a glass of water….very poetic, and a sign of a very intelligent and humble man

Come back Sean Lock, we love you!

I like to think that Sean is out there.

god he’s so missed ❤

We miss you Sean ❤

The dolphin therapy 😂😂😂😂

Sean was never sexier than when he had those sideburns

Rory: The Sea Crow in latin is "Phalacrocorax Carbo", and the Shag is called "Phalacrocorax Aristotelis" which has a distinguishable white face. Stephen: Sean do you remember anything he said? Sean: He said something about calcium and uh there's a tree with a funny name, I don't know, koalas invented rice?

Sean's ALIIIVE !!😆😆...

2:26 It's nice when Stephen briefly joins in on the silly humour.

Class

Can’t believe they’ve left out the Dali farmer!

The finger up the koala's ass story made me cry laughing

Rory McGrath’s face…. What a joy.

So great!

Sean and Alan are a cracking duo

5:16 oh, how I wish that were so....

2:37 can we appreciate Alan's eyeroll as well!!

He perfectly described only up!! 😮

I wish I could write that speech down about the geese.....

Sean was, is and forever shall be a killer. The best comedian Britain ever produced in my opinion. RIP.

Holy ~ the dolphins part is peak Sean humour

I miss Sean

The gobi toad is just made up, isn't it? He even squeezed 5 points out of Fry himself (please correct me if I'm wrong, googling gobi toad came up with nada)

Sean locks sideburns is a first for me

Perhaps the Gobi Toad makes a Wooooooooooooooooooooow! Call!

"I hear voices... ... but I ignore them and I just carry on killing"

Legend of a man

I'm glad Sean was winding up Rory McGrath 😂 he's a typical Oxbridge know-it-all who has to spurt out any ounce of knowledge he has. Well done mate, you studied languages at uni, but memorising Latin names didn't get you higher than a 2.2 did it.

The banana facts are insane!

RM facial expression when SL calls him a tosser, brilliant.

“Koala’s invented rice?” What a legend
