So good to see Sean again. Thanks for the compilation.
he wasn't funny
@@linebrunelle1004 Sean Lock wasn't funny ? Personally I found him to be extremely comical and he was also a competent actor, but I realise that not everybody has the same sense of humour.
Sean Lock's life was sadly taken early (by cancer) at the relatively young age of 58 years old. R.I.P. Mr Lock.
@@thepeaksandthetroughs In this he wasn't funny. Acting like a bored child because he was too stupid to keep up with the conversation.
"Not my area of expertise" hahahaha.. Nice one Steven.
Stephen.
Sean with sideburns😂😂😂 love it!
Lovely to see Sean - RIP. Miss him so much. LOVE him on this show - so funny! Such a loss to the the comedy community and to all of us. Bless
"It can't be beyond the wits of Man to build a ladder..."
That's got a real Tower-of-Babbel feel to it.😊❤
Babel only has 2 B.
I learned about the "Cockney rhyming slang" from my best friend when I was 12 (30+ years ago). We were in California. He was the son of a pair of South African missionaries.
If he was really hungry, he would say he was "f---in' Hank!"
==>Hank Marvin
==>Starvin'
Completely updated my understanding of the use of language.❤❤❤
Thank you, Danny.🙏🏼
I miss you.
I first learned about it from QI... that was a confusing episode the first time I saw it :)
Doon MacKichan, one of our most underrated comedians.
Never thought I'd hear Stephen Fry make a reference to the movie Evolution
I love that film!
@12:30 It's oxydization of fructose too, those two sugars have same formula but diferent structure.
Can I just say how funny it is that Jeremy Clarkson spontaneously came up with the idea for a space elevator a full two series before QI used it to create the brilliant “Dalai Farmer” moment? I realize that in the moment he most likely was being silly, but the irony of Stephen clearly writing it off as nonsense, then using it two years later as a “gotcha” moment is to much for me to ignore!
Trying to make Clarkson likeable is like trying to make... Trump likeable. Go ahead, keep looking for the only tiny moments you've got 😂
Arthur C Clarke!!
He spontaneously came up with an idea first thought of some 40 years prior, by Arthur C Clarke but, ok.
9:40 A casual threat in that tone/voice, caught me off guard. Hilarious.
We now know the Queens handbag contained a marmalade sandwich. There is filmed evidence of this.
Haha! Yes! Bless her...
😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stephen's utter hatred towards DaVinci Code will never lose its charm.
I'll never forget working in a bookstore back in 1997, and a woman DEMANDING to know why "The DaVinci Code" was in the Fiction section, and NOT in Religion. 😂
I think contempt is the word you're looking for.
@@richardcaves3601 I think you're right!
@@AnnieAtRecessIts the same section right?😂
His description of it as “complete loose stool water, arse gravy of the worst kind” is one of the most poetic, devastating slams I’ve ever heard 😊
5:50 Stephen Fry claims that Marsupials are not mammals. Alan gets a lot of flak for being ignorant on this show, and everyone assumed that whatever Stephen said was backed up by the researchers.
Fruit fly thing…. Spat my wine out! 😂😂😂
Big beard wang, literally made my drink go up my nose. 🤣
Jimmy was wrong, not all native mammals in Australia are marsupials, there are many species of bat native to Australia. I know he said Australasia but he clearly meant Australia, the only marsupials in New Zealand were introduced. Also Stephen was wrong saying that marsupials aren't mammals, they are mammals, mammals are any animal that produces milk and are usually divided into three groups, placental mammals, marsupials and monotremes.
So almonds are mammals too? 😂
@@fatphoca5009 almonds oats and soy beans don't have nipples or mammary glands so not mammals
Milk can only come from the mammary gland of a mammal.
White stuff from plants is juice: almond juice, oat juice soy juice etc.
@@daviddgm5527 agree! I was being sarcastic. Amazing vegans can't come up with their own words.
@@fatphoca5009nut juice doesn't sound right thats why they do it
@@freddy9120😂
The world may or may not be round but it certainly isn't flat because if it was cat's would have pushed everything of the edge by now! 😂
Okay that is a really good one and doesn’t seem to have garnered the support it deserves!
I think we can all agree on this fact 😅
A sci-fi movie had a sky elevator that did have a change over at half way, for the top down section to the top.
Thank you for sharing. It is a pity that some of the answers are cut, especially the last one.
Joe Kittinger's free fall was from a height of 102,800 feet (or just shy of 19.5 miles). Still, he was a third of the way there. Kittinger's 1960 record has now been beaten and is currently held by Alan Eustace, who jumped from a height of 135,908 feet (or 25.74 miles) in 2014.
Marsupials are mammals. The infraclass Marsupialia is a sub clade of the class Mammalia
There are also native Australian mammals which aren't marsupials, notably the monotremes which are egg laying mammals. Unlike marsupials, which are found elsewhere in the world monotremes are only found in Australia.
Very true. They give milk.
[knob gag]
I cannot get past the many mistakes this program makes about biology. Almost every statement Fry has made that is vaguely related to evolution has been wrong. As a biologist, I find it incredibly annoying and prevent me from believing anything he says about other topics on which I am not an expert.
What he says about the origin of the word "cat" is also wrong.
@@Diego20529As a physicist, I can say about 70% of what he says about physics is accurate.
12:26 My answer was "The formula for carbonated water".
As a Canadian I appreciate the drole dead possum bit.
And as we know, there are no possums in Canada, dead or alive that I’m aware of.
He looks like enbodyment of Moe from Simpsons😂😂😂
Quando omni flunkus, moritati.
We do have them in Canada. 🙂@@TangoDelta8111
Lots of possums in Ontario.
"Ass gravy of the worst kind." Stephen’s colorful language is just lovely.
Bill and Alan❤😂🎉
@14:00 did we just gloss over that a 'bird' invented eggless custard powder? Seems like an opportunity for merriment
Stephen Fry was incorrect when he said Jim Dale said 'put it in the basket, I'll read it later.' It was actually Charles Howtreys character.
Jim Dale was sat on the wagon selling dolls with detachable heads
Charles Gray was only in one Hammer Horror film. He played the role of Mocata in The Devil Rides Out. He was also in an Amicus production called The Beast Must Die and had an uncredited voice part in Theatre Of Blood.
I did find the phrase "Arse gravy" bloody hilarious though. 🤣
My husky used to climb trees too lol
This is a great compilation... but the 'squirrel joker card' didnt have the pay off and now I wanna know what the question was
My guess is that it was a special game rule made for that episode.
For a while I think they had a series of joker cards. If so.Done played the joker to the wrong question they lost points.
How did no one pick up on Alan's question about the cat being on the end of Mao's ? = W A N G !
Loose Stoolwater - blues musician... shit I laughed - this one had all new unseen stuff for me. Will be in my favourites..
Marsupials are mammals. I hate when Stephen is wrong
Nice one.
It happens quite often. Usually delivered with some smugness.
This one feels egregious, maybe it's being an Australian but marsupials being mammals is such an obvious one
Jimmy is also wrong as there are native bat species all over Australasia. Even in NZ where there are no other native mammals.
They are mammals but split from placental mammals around 160 million years ago...
My favorite TV prog
Me too
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I will always remember who was who in the relationship between Tonya Harding and and Nancy Kerrigan. There was a radio morning program that was describing a wrestling match between "Terrible Tonya" Harding and Nancy "No-Knees" Kerrigan. It's awful, but it's easy to remember. Lol
43:25 - SPACE FLIES. Is a fly in space called a 'float'?
I always thought the queen carried in her purse a stun gun and a switchblade..
It's spelled Sten gun, with a capital S.
She would have had one when she was serving in WWII.
Now she would have a Micro Uzi, or something similar.
@@Clavers1369 I was referring to the American stun gun the gives an electric charge that incapacitates it's victim
@@michiganjfrog366 I know. Well done. The Sten gun also incapacitates its victim, but in a more permanent and messy fashion. Provided that the rounds don't jam in the magazine, as they did in the assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich.
At 35:15 Charles Babbage was born in 1791, not 1792.
At 39:53 The Piccadilly statue is actually Anteros, not Eros or The Angel Of Christian Charity.
That's now 2 QI errors in 1 video.
Stephen is mixing up mammal, a creature that produces milk, with placental, a creature that has a womb with a placenta . Mammals even lay eggs, like platypus and echidna. And the milk comes through the skin and not from a nipple or teet. I am surprised he does not remember this.
I'm also surprised no-one else on the panel or the elves picked up on this! Marsupials are definitely mammals. Poor Jimmy.
When you realise that Jeremy Clarkson is not as dumb as you thought.
joe kittinger jumped from a height of about 19.5 mi, not the 62 mi that fry said space is at, so no, he's a bellend spewing nonsense he doesn't know about yet again
Thanks for uploading but way to many ads 😒
As a Houstonian, it tickles me the way Stephen pronounces it "Hooston"
All that collected intelligence, and nobody copped on that 62 miles equals 100 kilometres! (62.137 miles to be exact)
The American say it's 50 miles, the Europeans changed it to 100 km.
Jeremy was the inspiration for the space elevator!!!!
Stephen, please stop referring to it as “your Trap” 😂😂😂
IIRC the issue with something like a biro / regular ballpoint, is that pens has to be sealed for safety. Sealed non-pressurized pens of the sort, in zero g, would work fine, until the ink right at the end was spent. After that, the seal at the end prevents most or all of the ink from moving, because the ink is too thick to allow air to pass through it inside the container or around the ball. No air in to displace ink => no ink out.
These days ballpoints leak less and the secondary container, the outer shell, holds enough gas to displace the tiny amount of ink inside the primary container and allow it to flow out.
Koalas (tongue in cheek) in Australia are referred to as "Drop Bears" - - - Sorry - I couldn't resist.
Everyone looks so young and gorgeous, apart from David Mitchell, I think he looks better now!
David lost weight and married the love of his life.
How could the "crew" get in terrible trouble for accepting money for saving people, if they were fired the moment the ship sank.... they were technically unemployed at the time and no longer "crew"!
"Mic drop"
The "Mao" in Mao Zedong's name does not mean cat. It means hair.
Mao meaning cat is written 猫 and pronounced in first (high) tone.
Mao meaning hair or fur is written 毛 and pronounced in second (rising) tone.
‘Mother’ sounds similar as well. There’s a Chinese rhyme using all the variations on Mao.
Must be hard to converse in a thunderstorm. “You want to put your mother where?”
@f.kieranfinney457 Mother is "ma" (妈), first (high) tone.
Dingoes climb trees also .we had some as pets and they loved climbing trees .yes I'm a an Australian
correction ... Mammals can be generally classified into three broad groups: egg-laying monotremes, marsupials, and placentals. A marsupial is a mammal that raises its newborn offspring inside an external pouch at the front or underside of their bodies.
QI for the Straight Guy. Phil Jupitus, never change!
Stephen's subtle change of tone to annoyance towards Bill Bailey questioning the earth's roundness was really funny; he's got absolute no tolerance for idiocy
Rory is a Pratt
Yes
Loved when Sean called him "swotty"! If you look at Sean's face, he's trying to disguise his derision. I don't like Rory on this show. His smugness bloody irritates me.
He comes across in this as a show off. As though he is trying to show 'sir' how clever he is.
Ahh, yes. Good old Ethelred the Unready.
"Winter has cleared the Cheviot tract,
The Pictish chief rides South,
To cram the steaks his winter lacked,
Into his hairy mouth.
But who comes here? A monk,
Astride an armour-plated neddy,
Crying "men, men, the war is off
For Ethelred's Unready"
(Christopher Logue)
Bravo!!! LOVE it. Thank you! You made my day 😊
The problem being, of course, that the modern false reading "Unready" is actually the Old English "Unræd," which means "ill advised" and not "unprepared."
Wish they skipped to more towards the end of the Rory bits... the actual funny part with Sean.
5:49 Jimmy is right. They are mammals.
Neither of them are right, marsupials are in fact mammals but there are native mammals which aren't marsupials in Australia.
I love qi but where is the best of or full epusodes of series efghijklm???? I can not seem to find them!!
Me, neither! And I don't get it. I've Prime and Britbox. They aren't on there either. Just eps from M, I think... Not that I don't enjoy the compilations of the earlier ones on YT. But it's frustrating not to be able to watch them in their entirety.
Crème Anglaise is a warm pouring egg custard rather than a set egg custard.
Generally when people talk about "Space" they are just abbreviating the term Outer-Space, which specifically means the space beyond the Earth. Regular, garden-variety Space is, of course, everywhere.
just looking at the Ladder mentioned by Jeremy at 1:42 the concept does exist in the form of a Space Elevator literally a lift that goes all the way to space
In the 70's you had to put milk on Muesli the night before, and leave it in a fridge until morning. Otherwise it was like chewy grit! It was made from bits of mountain I think. 🤔
And wood shavings 😉
At 162 mph, JC was spot on!
Hoo-ston alone!
I thought they already had a tire fitter. What happened to the guy who setup the van?
Would be madness not to give her the head coach position ❤
What is Stephen on about? All the Australian marsupials are definitely mammals. What does he think they are drinking in those pouches? Foster's?
Haha seriously I thought the same thing. I think he just had a brain-fart. But they definitely wouldn’t be drinking Foster’s Lol. They’re Australian….. Aussies think Foster’s is absolute piss from what I’ve heard 😂😂
@@LPKelly380
Fosters IS piss really. I can't believe people fucking drink it. But then, any beer less than 7% tastes like water.
Karpackie on the other hand...
Mmmm... Er, anyway...
@@nickthelick Haha, I guess we Dutchies feel the same about Heineken 😂. No idea why that's so popular across the border...
@@fredelmo
I know exactly what you mean. 😁
It's because almost all "medium-'strength" beers/lagers (ie cans of Stella, Fosters, Heineken, Carlsberg etc. at ≤5%), they ALL just taste like bland, fizzy water! And a lot of them are brewed under the Interbrew company (conglomerate?🤔), and so yeah, all that shit is the same dull, watery stuff. Just very diluted alcohol.
So *_I_* like a strong, "super-strength" beer, like; Karpackie 9%, if there's none of that then I'll have a Kestrel Super 9%. After those it's Carlsberg Special Brew 7.5% and/or Tennent's Super 9%.
Karpackie is Polish and pretty much *_THE_* cheapest "Super-Strength" canned beer. Pretty much all these beers have a stigma to them! 🤔😁🤷🏻♂️
But the thing is, is that it actually *_DOES_* taste nice indeed! Goes down easy and is super easy to drink, hence it could be quite dangerous! LoL! Carlsberg Special Brew used to hold the crown for taste and value. Right up until Carlsberg changed the recipe to bring the strength (and alcohol tax!) down from 9% to 7.5%! So it tastes a pale second to how it used to.
Er... Sorry, just waffling on as usual, and half-drunk coincidentally as usual!
🤔
🚬✌🏻😁👌🏻🍺 🚬🤘🏻🤪🍻🫠👍🏻
Almost everything on the shelves is just weak-ass piss-water, so I only ever drink cans that are over the aforementioned 7.5%! 😁👍🏻 All because the stronger beers have *_some_* actual flavour too them! Karpackie being the actual nicest of the lot IMHO! 😄🤷🏻♂️ 🍺😘👌🏻
@@nickthelick Well, if you like stronger beers with áctual taste, I can recommend Dutch Bargain beer! I used to work for the owners and their brewer is a genuine genius. Also really really nice. I've been in Poland a couple of times btw and they sure have excellent beer as well! Have a great day!
Jimmy: ....mammals.
The dingo, echidna and platypus: are we jokes to you?
Not exactly true about the tree climbing dog. Two of my dogs can climb one of the trees in my garden. There's some wonderful double takes from passers by.
Galileo formulated the principle of relativity, he did not invent/discover the theory of relativity.

Who was the lady who figured out the chemical custard explosion thing?
Helen Atkinson-Wood

That’s an insult to git’s.
a space-ladder... if you will.. I think it was thought of in the 1890's? He's only about... 100 years too late to the concept lol
I am so depressed hearing my literate hero say something without having read the foreword of the book . 😢😢😢
Kittinger jumped from 19 miles. About 30kms.
apple pie and icecream is 'apple pie a la mode' ..... fact checkers must be high.
A stairway to space or more likely a lift has been an idea in sci-fi and science for dacades.
I’m sorry I don’t believe that she knew that thing about the custard explosion
For a second, Alan's question of whether 'Outer Space' is defined by the distance from the Earth or the Sun seems naive, but it's actually not a silly thing to ask. He's thinking of 'Interstellar Space', which begins at the Sun's "Heliopause", the point where the solar wind goes no further.
The reason Clarkson is defiant about the altitude of space, is because there are two definitions, one being the US Military's original, somewhat arbitrary number, and the other is the more standardised international measure, which I believe is defined by the point where an object can no longer ascend beyond via lift or bouyancy, (as in, an aeroplane or balloon), and needs rocket propulsion (or an equivalent) to go higher. Amusingly, this means that those billionaires who flew up in rockets recently didn't actually reach space.
Also, the Earths atmosphere continues a fair way into space. It just gets thinner and thinner, rather than suddenly ending. So the Space Shuttle Orbiter would technically orbit within the upper atmosphere, since it usually stayed in a low orbit.
The international measure is 100km. It's just as arbitrary. Nothing special about it. Aerodynamic lift gives way to inertia at around 91km.
lack of a road wouldn't stop Hammond!

Shame we never got Rory McGrath, John Sessions & Danny Baker on the same show. Now that would be quite interesting...
Indeed.
Rory, wont ever be invited back because of his behaviour on the shows in this series and his off screen issues
I hate my keyboard.
I made 2 spelling mistakes while typing that simple 4 word sentence.
Screw a stairway to heaven! Make a laptop with a working keyboard.
Rory McGrath always makes me cringe
Well if it makes you feel any better, he was sentenced to 10 weeks in jail in 2017 for harassing an ex-lover lmao.
Isn’t he also the one panelist Fry didn’t like because he insisted on seeing the answers before the show taping?
@@5v4al I don't know about that but I could understand if Stephen maybe didn't like him, after all he gives all his answers like they're inflating his ego, instead of just trying to be interesting, which is the whole point of the show.
@@5v4al I think it's John Sessions who wanted the answers in advance (Dara O Briain hinted as much recently at the .Oxford Union) In this clip, right out of the blue, Fry asks McGrath the atomic number of selenium and McGrath knows; also whether the stem of recalcitrant was calx (stone) or calx (heel) isn't one of the set questions; McGrath seems just to know his stuff.
@@5v4al I heard that he cheated and got the answers from someone back stage

All those big cats in Texas, that is so wrong.
The President of the Continental Congress was not analogous to the President of the United States. There was no Executive Branch and the President of the Congress merely acted as a moderator in disputes and had no vote. The President of the United States had greater powers proscribed to them, via the Constitution. Prior to the ratification of the Constitution, the power resided solely in the colonial/state legislations and governors, as both the Continental Congress and the Congress of the Confederation had no real power to enact laws that governed the states/colonies. It was this lack of power and the fundamental problems that came with it that caused the Confederation to fail and the call for the Constitutional Convention to create a new system of national government. That Constitution created an Executive Branch of Government, which was headed by the President of the United States. Such office didn't exist before the Constitution was ratified; and, therefor, George Washington was the first to be elected and to govern as President of the United States.
The speakers in the colonial assemblies had more power than the President of the Continental Congress.

I know exactly what HRH EIIR had in her handbag a couple of years before she died but I'm sworn to secrecy.
Rory was not well liked and cheated.
Yup, in the behind the scenes show, he was the one guest that demanded the questions ahead of time and looked up all the answers.
