Time-Travelling Mr Bean Hates Women | QI 

I don't remember water polo in any of the winter Olympics!

@@John_Smith_60 🤣 fair point , well Summer Olympics then 😎

Get thee to specsaver! She looks bugger all like him.

Not nearly as much as the runner at 1:16 does (after Alan's haircut).

Do they? Sceptics are sceptics - don’t mistake QI for mainstream thought

"people" "...their political rivals" To me, it doesn't sound like just "people", more like the specific variant "politicians"

​@@bennylloyd-willner9667 wow I had agreed with real cat until you made that point

It really depends. Most people nowadays have trouble separating fact from opinion. Opinion shows get more viewers, because they are more entertaining. So, they flood the airwaves with those shows, to get ad revenue, where they talk ABOUT the news, and don't just tell the news. Then if you couple that with the internet and people shouting their own opinions as fact and trying to echo chamber their beliefs, you wind up just having people gossiping and making stuff up. What most people call "the news" these days are just editorial articles in video form. Or like a film critic, but with politics instead of movies.

People get misinformation, because they listen to what someone else THINKS is really going on, take it as fact, and then run around and gossip about it to other people. And they typically watch whatever show says what they want to hear. They're essentially stopping into their friends' house for a cup of tea so they can all bitch about the same thing LOL! Public broadcasting typically has good news shows. They will even turn off the comments for their online shows. You can recognize them, because they will break the episode into a few parts. They do a news wrap where they just state everything that has happened, with no opinions. Then they will pick like two or three stories to cover in more detail (probably interviews too), and end with some good news or an art segment about film, books, or some art gallery. Like they might show a charity or interview a poet.

The world records they beat in 1960 were their own, not men's.

Thankyou. Some recently described me as 'buthurt' and it's been bothering me ever since.

@@Mafagafo41 This was 1928, though - but yes, only women's records were broken.

Javelin throwers don't have good aim. Trust me, I was a champion Javelin thrower at junior level, we trained to throw the thing as far as possible within 30 degrees of arc. If I could aim well, there would be a few less people in this world..

@@bipolarminddroppings if you want accuarcy, go watch darts

Now THAT would a great Banksy piece!

I tried to imagine that, but I ended up imagining her using the javelin as a skewer for a gigantic club sandwich.

@@Christopher_Clark Ouch lol 😬

You could try sports goggles instead for better visibility.

Ew, jogger

Then you really need to do something about those enormous hemorrhoids.

*Klaxon noises* "SPEAK FOR YOURSELF"

I understand what you're trying to imply, but in order to take someones eye out, something normally needs to be quite thin and pointy...

He may have been invited, but declined to come. From what I understand, he dislikes the pressure to be funny when not acting.

@@itskarl7575 In theory at least, the point of the show is to be interesting, not necessarily funny. Not that they've stuck to that for long…

@@TheGreatAtario Even so, when you invite a comedian, you do so with the expectation that they are going to be funny.

They don't know what he looks like. On the evidence of this show anyway. He keeps on turning up and getting turned away.

@@TheGreatAtario he's not just a comedian tho...he's highly highly intelligent. his humor is a byproduct of his intelligence

The very notion that half of humanity should be casually disregarded is itself an astoundingly contemptible notion.

Did you have an easy journey here from your home planet?

@@Tao_Tology It's even crazier than that mate. I grew up in Croydon of all places!!! But it was a diverse community, even from infant school, so early on you don't really get caught up in "differences"!! Left there a long time ago though. Now living in Shanghai, China!!

I was born in 1963 but worked in racist and sexist environments in the 1990’s and beyond. Where TF did you grow up? Because racism and sexism _still_ exist! Enjoy cloud cuckoo land.

I don't know where you are from but here in this world gender discrimination and racial discrimination are still rampant. We still segregate bathrooms by gender. It is universally held that men will abuse women if allowed to be in a small room with the fairer gender. This is a form of bigotry against both men and women. Thinking that men will always be abusers and that women cannot defend themselves are both concepts born out of gender-based bigotry. We mock men for having jobs that are traditionally female base. We force women to comply to unrealistic beauty standards and teach them to spend billions in money and time each year to strive for this goal. We criticize men for noticing the beauty in women. We are still subjecting both men and women to gender roles and restrictions. It is just that the restrictions that we enforce today are so ingrained in our cultures that we do not see them as wrong - but rather common sense.

Obviously, I'm not going to look it up, but it could still be 18 records beaten. For instance, it could be a record for single javelin throw and also dual javelin throw. Alternatively, someone could've beaten a world record only for them to be surpassed.

Why on earth would you interpret it that way? Everybody KNOWS if a woman tries to do something better than a man, her brain immediately turns to soup and she becomes hideous and infertile. Women: KNOW YOUR PLACE!!!

I can see that. But I'd like to emphasize 'better-looking'. I find her very cute.

@@sstills951 She is GORGEOUS!

@@christopherdean1326 she's incredibly good looking for her age. She's 53 😲 (she was still 48 here in this clip)

She's damn good looking for *half* her age.

@@sstills951 Yes, she is.

Especially her organs of matrimonial necessity.

I'm pretty sure the entire women should move, it wouldn't be a race otherwise. Also, she would be flung into space, because the Earth also moves.

That’s only accepted in marathons

Yes 1:47

'That's Rowan Atkinson'

When they showed the picture of the dude with the moustache.

segregated events but can women not do the same sports men do?

@jasonporter5912 Was thinking decathlon and heptathalon. Also different gymnastics events, women don't compete in the rings, men don't do parallel bars and beam.

@@archstanton6102 thats because men can’t do beam. We have dangly squishy testicle bits.

@@WynandLens 😹😹😹

@@WynandLens Genuinely saw a video of a guy losing at high jump because his 'gentleman's dangly bits' hit the bar.

There's a very good reason why, throughout history, education, including learning how to read and write, gets withheld from certain parts of society by those parts who're in control, who then claim they're stupid.

They wear lycra. Just as the men do. If we're talking about "revealing outfits" then who can forget Linford Christie's "lunchbox"? His tight-fitting lycra completely revealed to the whole world how big his penis was. Overtly and clearly. He might as well have run naked at that point. This is the thing. Folks talk about women wearing "revealing outfits", but won't apply that same standard to men. Men routinely reveal their entire torso, talking off their shirts. They could be on the field wearing nothing more than a pair of shorts, and are literally on the cusp of being charged for indecency if anything more is revealed. Yet no-one says a word in these instances. What I'm getting at is the notion that women have something special and different to men that should not be revealed. So folks will remark on women's clothing, on their appearance, on standards of decency - in tribute to this magical thinking - which they won't do for men, as men are not judged to have this special magical thing. But, you know, it's biology either way. And we won't fix any of our gender issues, while folks cling onto superstitious magical thinking. Women are not expected to dress in unnecessarily revealing outfits. They just wear much the same non-restrictive garments - lyrca - that the men also do, because whilst doing sports, you don't need your clothes working against you. And this shouldn't be a big deal. Why are you - and everyone else - making such a big deal of this? This is "special pleading". It's a logical fallacy. Stop it.

Yep. And when they complain or simply wear slightly longer shorts, they get sanctioned. Women: KNOW YOUR PLACE!!!

@@peterclarke7240 Damn, that ruling still p's me off. "How dare those women wear shorts that go down to their knees! How are we supposed to perve on handball players now?"

@@Here_is_Waldo I mean, they couldn't make it ANY clearer what their motivation was, could they? A choice would have been nice, but they knew their viewers would have complained and stop paying to watch if they couldn't guarantee women in spandex. It's a bit like cheerleaders. They exist purely to get the dads watching. Few other sports other than American sports seem to require lycra-clad and often under-age dancing girls to "motivate" the players or "hype" the crowd.

Man: "I miss the days when women wore ridiculously impractical clothes that we're little more than a cover for our own insecurities and weird nanny fetish." Also man: "Christ, we were supposed to leave 20 minutes ago. How long does it take her to get ready?!?" 🤣

Right in the middle of a very short 4 minute clip; 1:50

Tbf they don't say "Mr Bean!", they mention the actor.

@@Tao_Tology And to be even more fairer, the guy doesn't really look like Mr Bean, or Rowan Atkinson for that matter at all...

@@BigJayKaner On the scale of 'Not at all Mr Beany' to 'The most Beaniest Mr Bean there has ever been' he's certainly closer to the Bean end.

@@Tao_Tology Upvote purely for the excellence of your scale. The last word being the cherry on top.

nah those stats are from modern sports lmao

And where is your proof?

#CitationNeeded

​@@jamesmccann531 It is a troll, it has no proof.

The record going into 1928 was 2:23.8, set by Lina Radke (GER) in 1927. Six out of nine athletes finished inside this time in the 1928 Olympic final, including Radke herself, who won gold with a new record of 2:16.8. However the record had already been broken twice in the summer months leading up to the Olympics, first by Inga Gentzel (SWE) 2:20.4, and then by Radke 2:19.6. And only three of the athletes in the Olympic final broke that time, so it is not true that six broke the world record in that race. (All info from Wikipedia...)

*"The astonishing thing is, the fact that these athletes did actually faint and almost none of them finish"* No - that's precisely what didn't happen. All athletes finished, none fainted, and they were simply winded after finishing - which is absolutely normal. And as JRB pointed out, six of them _did_ in fact beat the existing world record. The existing world record for _women,_ that is, which Sandi should have specified. The reason she did not specify does seem to be that she wanted to give the impression that they were faster than the men, especially given the tone of voice in which she said it. So it wasn't a flat out lie, but it was a lie by omission.
