BEST QI moments of Sir Stephen Fry being made fun of! Sometimes his poshness slips out a bit too much and the contestants didn't let him off easy! Comment your favourite moment below! #qi #stephenfry #britishcomedy
@@kaybrann Well explained! Splendid to know that there are still those out there capable of stringing a comprehensive explanation together using the minimum of words... forgive me, I'm old.
Phill Jupitus could make Stephen squirm like nobody's business. Still like the one episode where he dressed like Stephen (famous for Stephen asking "How many muscles are in your hand?" to which Phill responded "One, if you play your cards right." and proceeded to "flirt" heavily with Stephen
Whoever is in charge of these compilation videos, please create more that give you an excuse to get the "...acropolis where the parthenon is..." included 🤣🤣🤣
Sandy is fun and sweet , But Stephen is a whole different animal ! I'm a yank and a bit of a late comer ...Watching all the Fry and Laurie stuff and everything you guys enjoy has been a blessing to a bored tv viewer ...Phill is too funny ...the shiny children always kills me...Sarah is a sweetheart
We all have far better teeth than the Americans in the UK. We have far fewer veneers and caps or the need for braces. The so called good teeth in America mostly found in big cities and in the mouths of the privileged few who have medical insurance that have dental plans attached. Go else where in the U.S. And you will find people who's teeth make Gabby Hazed teeth look really good.In other words total Dental nightmares.
"Would Sir like to wear a cravat on the cross country run?" Bill Bailey got that wrong! It would actually be: "Would Sir like me to wear a cravat as I run the cross country for him?"
Phill Jupitus said once that he hated going on this show, because there could be things he’s known his whole life that are ’wrong’ such as when the sun sets etc. He only did this show because he enjoyed winding Stephen up so much.
Theyre having a go at him for the dawn raid thing but i remember in the early 90s being in hospital for several weeks for something, me and another on our ward did that a few times on the hospital canteen. Got to find your own fun at times like that 😆
@@Galerak1 he might see them as friends but given the opportunity they will revert to being comedians i.e. like a pack of hyenas who will cheerfully devour their own if it will get a laugh.
@@sblack48 _"he might see them as friends but given the opportunity they will revert to being comedians i.e. like a pack of hyenas who will cheerfully devour their own if it will get a laugh."_ That same happens with every good especially with male friends, there is no need to be professional comedian for that. It can be constant joking and one-upmanship and one proves their character by being able to laugh to themselves when situation arises and someone makes a good joke about you when there is opportunity to do so (which is usually sign of balanced ego if one can make fun of themselves), so kind of like "pack of hyenas" but without the need to actually seriously devour/embarrass each others, and best situations are usually when one manages to counter the joke with another and everyone is having fun. It's certain kind of testing of characters in friendly spirits, if it would be actually nasty, there is other tone in it. Very similar as in here, ~99% of jokes are benevolent and the whole idea behind the show is people coming up jokes about subject they talk about, sometimes about each others and Fry is a good sport and can easily also laugh at himself if he happens to be butt of the joke at certain moment. Similarly as he pokes panelist when he gets the change (usually Alan but there have been numerous cases like e.g. with John Lock and Fry calling 'Nurse! Nurse, he’s out of bed again!' when Lock started talking about walking banana plants - in which Lock was right. But Fry was obviously poking fun at Lock). Because that character interaction big part of this kind of panel shows. Like in 8 out of 10 cats mainly Jimmy Carr had created the lore that Susie Dent is huge pervert and everyone usually plays along because it creates funny jokes.
The British do this sort of humor so much better than Americans. A. An American auduence would be shouting "ohhhhh" instead of laughing. B. Half of these would have been edited out because they're not "slick."
@@jpaxonreyes Oh, you mean the American rip-off of 'Have I Got News For You'?! 🤔 US attempts to copy real humour are rarely successful. 'The Office' is the only reasonably successful example that comes to mind. (I might be wrong, but I understand the American version of 'The Office' had a lot of Canadian input and 'supervision' from Gervaise.) But, I'll give that show a chance and try to be impartial. 😉😊
@trueaussie9230 They spoilt Porridge with Stir. They ruined Men behaving badly, Miranda and many more I can't recall at the moment. Agree The Office was OK because Ricky was involved.
Bill bailey ribs stephen about his school outfitters... But bills school , which i attended at much the same time..had its own outfitters on the premises run by the bursar ; an ex army warrant officer..called jack wyers.....made getting uniform a bit like visiting the quartermaster....
Widdecombe, who traces his ancestors back to Tudor nobility and was brought up on Dartmoor in a village called Widdecombe, accusing Stephen of 'growing up in an Enid Blyton novel'.
Stephen fry is as much a national treasure as one could possibly be. The world would so much better off if there were more like him around. And Mr Christopher Hitchens too!
Fry has always been genuine and pleasant on top of being funny. When he has something to say it comes through a rational filter. Hitchens was contrarian lunatic for the last 20 years of his life. Never seen a person being respected for knowing absolutely nothing and talking absolute bollocks every time a camera was pointed at him.
I wish I could feel sympathy for him, but he brings it all on himself with his high-falutin ways. SMH 😉😊🤣🤣 BTW - for American viewers - that's facetious irony. 😉😊
Depends on the comedians and the subject matter, comedy being subjective and much of the best QI moments being on-the-spot improve and all. I'm surprised you didn't know that, if I'm honest. Seems really very rudimentary knowledge that only an absolute cretin wouldn't understand.
They actually covered this very topic! When you have more male panelists, the audience laughs more. When you have more female panelists, the panel laughs more.
already talked about years ago. Funny women are hard to find, because growing up women don't have to be funny in order to attract men. Many men need humor and comedy to stand out, women don't. Then you think of the funny women you know, many of them are lesbians who weren't trying to attract men in the first place. There are some funny women, but in the ratio of funny men to funny women, women are FAR behind in numbers and there is a reason for that. They don't need to be funny.
well he's not really a comedian, he's more the entertainer type. So i don't relate him to humor really. I like him on a lot of his stuff, but i never saw him as funny on any panel shows or such.
You sure you’re talking about the right guy? The sarcastic, intelligently funny man who consistently makes everyone with even a semi-functional sense of humour laugh?
@@spongebobsquaretits but objectively, he is funny. Thousands and thousands of people think so. It's just that you don't. Lots of people enjoy barbecue sauce. I don't. I don't find it necessary to whine about it where others are enjoying it though. Go be miserable elsewhere.
He is. The reason they keep making pederast jokes around him is because it must in some sense be true, and he must justify it to himself by thinking of himself as a romantic and sophisticated erudite like Oscar Wilde or something
@@thesalanianIt's fairly well-known he goes for younger men. Fry's first husband was 12 years younger than him and then Fry left him to marry another guy who was 25 years younger. But they've always been in their 20s I believe, never younger.
Oh, is that how it works? So, by that logic, that must mean there's some truth in the running joke that Stephen grew up in a dickensian pantomime in the 19th century. You absolute cretin.
@@thesalanian sex with boys is definitely on your mind, that's obvious. After all, "More lacquer, little boy?", was the only joke made about children, and if that's sexual innuendo to you, you've definitely got issues.
