I really love this show ! I'm a yank that gave up on American Tv and found so many amazing shows and discovered some great comics/actors/ personalities
If you haven't already, you need to watch Taskmaster - my wife and I have never and I mean NEVER laughed harder at a show before! We're also huge 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown fans as well 🔥
Well on you, join the rest of Europe. But don’t tell the Americans, we need their undereducated mass to deal with the military matters, so we can spend more on education and infrastructure in Europe. Let the Americans play soldier and think they are important, as Europeans we don’t have to worry about their gun-mental-health problems or healthcare availability. We have that sorted out in Europe.
@@mjfan653I’m US American and French. I think your almost meme like attitude is goofy and small minded, and you present it such that you could weasel out of any criticism of it. There are as many undereducated people literally everywhere in the world as in America, as there are plenty of educated people too. If anything you know what America has needed? The white leaning imperial complicity of most of mainland Europe to get to the point where it’s such a world nuisance. What an irony my guy!!!
@@FussyPickles As usual even that is wrong because that saying was attributed to people before his time up to antiquity with Cicero and was used by various famous people around the same time as him. So this phrase was possibly not very special
15:02 Well this is interesting.. In Hebrew the parallel letter for Q is named "Qoph" or "Qooph". In the Kabala it is said that each letter holds power, and that is one of the reasons they have names. The name for "Qoph" - though in modern Hebrew means a monkey, actually derives from the root of the word "Heyqeph" which means _"to circle"_ and it is associated with "Kidush" - the Holy (much like Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho by circling it 7 times). The name for the eye of the needle in Hebrew is also called "Qoph" (Qoph Ha-makhat = the "Qoph" of the needle) and that _does_ come from the Greek letter qoph and was named as such for its visual similarities to the eye of the needle.
Omg, me as well. I've been watching QI, Wilty, mock the week and 8 out of 10 cats since 2019 and I rarely go back to the regular swill on here in Wisconsin. Ive loved British humor starting with Benny Hill in 1980 and Who's Line Is It Anyways, the original British one with Stephen Frie and Sandra Tosqvig since the late 80's. Thank you very much, Britton!
I’ve been to the Aladdin theater in Portland to see the Decemberists play! It’s a great venue, and it’s not downtown so traffic and parking is way easier to deal with
They would use that orcastra theme with the type writer often in cartoons. It made it more catchy. I remember chasing around my cats and we would have a thing where every time the ding or return was sent we would stop till the music continued. 😆 Those 2 cats managed to stick around for 18+19 years. Where still playing and active till their final days.
23:20 I always thought that Q stood for Quartermaster, which is why they tried naming John Cleese's iteration "R" as a tribute to Desmond Llewelyn, who'd played him forever. But it was a dumb idea, so they went back to Q.
Cleese's character was informally named R in TWINE because he was Q's 'assistant'. Q retired in that film and 'R' was 'promoted' to Q by the time of DAD.
Scandinavians did not invent the idea of dreaming. One example is Herodotus describing king Astayages of Medea had a dream that a vine sprouted from his daughter’s womb and covered all of Asia, around 6th century BC.
@@ashleybellofsydneyNative Americans and Central Americans have oral histories going back at least centuries in which dreams are interpreted to find their meaning... so I mean... probably not. Caucasians have a habit of taking credit for things that existed long before them.
Also there are gods of dreaming. Unfortunately much of this was when humans followed idols and folklore instead of education etc so its not looked at the same🤷♀️
@@BrotherChad shouldn't it be *hurts then? Or "was hurting my soul", to make it correct? I was already happy with the correct spelling of pronunciation 🤣
They don't know for sure about the pox blankets. It was only mentioned once ever from a letter from Fort Detroit by whoever was running things there, English or French, probably English. That doesn't necessarily mean it happened, can't remember if the letter was after or before it was to happen.
The QWERTY keyboard was specifically designed to _slow down_ or limit the speed of a typist, to avoid the keys jamming on the original mechanical typewriters. And we've never fixed that! There is an alternative keyboard layout which is much, much easier and more intuitive to use. But we have stuck with QWERTY😳🤦🏻♀️
The friend that cut her finger off was almost definitely Sarah millican because she told the story about cutting her finger off using a sharp kitchen appliance when she lost the safety part of it and just figured she sliced vegetables without it and had to be rushed to the emergency room with the separated digit unfortunately they were able to reattach everything apparently
Lol, that was her finger tip, not her finger. I'd guess 50% of everyone (including myself) who has used a mandoline has shaved off a finger tip. It takes off a 1/8" slice which is super unpleasant, but not a hospital emergency!
Love Lou Sanders "early onset erection" oh hahaha! And Jimmy Carr... his laugh is contagious! Also Tom Allen.. This was great! They added to the team of Alan and Sandi quite beautifully
I love lou too, I feel sorry for her when I've heard her speak of her hubby he seems so over baring eg: she can't sleep facing him and he judged how she gets dressed. Many a true word said in jest but I think she's delightful him not so much.
@15:26 The @ used to be the character that meant "attention" when you sent it to a modem, started every command hence "at". I was a computer nerd in the 80ties.

In the graphic novel League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Mister Hyde is presented as a hulking brute easily half again as tall as Jekyll and massively built. He addresses this, explaining that as he indulges in his dark urges he grows in strength, while Jekyll, being so focused on repressing himself, cannot help but dwindle and diminish. He later sacrifices his life saving his compatriots, calling into question whether he truly was all that was evil in Jekyll after all, considering his last act was one that while brutish and physical, was also noble.
In formal logic, the symbol “@“ is called “a-round.” I can’t tell you more about this, as it’s been many, many years since I’ve studied philosophy, but I’m sure the interwebs could help. :)
Dreaming indeed comes from the Edda, the collection of nordic myths.. In Svartalfheim dreams would be made and nightmares would be actual monsters.. And the marvellous Chris Hemsworth regularly took his top off.
'tide' is not Danish Sandi - just because it's a Germanic cognate and it otherwise died in English in other contexts doesn't mean we got it from Old Norse. It was already in Old English. Plus, Old Norse isn't 'Danish'
18:40 My God Alan that was BRILLIANT comedically lolll The quickness, the delivery and face loll and the "victim" Sandi, being a feminist lol What a great joke. That's a comedians joke in that we appreciate it more. The audience however, can be tricky everyone's so selectively outraged.
So based on context clues from this episode, and another where they were eating Quavers, and the panel were more enthusiastic then the few times that the panel were allowed tastes of alchohol, Quavers are the British Isle's answer to Cheetos? Fun fact, my favorite Cheeto is a puffed Cheeto that has been sitting in a bowl open to the air, under a porch, in 90 to 100 degree ferhenhieight weather with at least 80 percent humidity, for at least three hours. So basically a stale, wet puffed Cheeto. There's nothing better, and there is not other way to create that kind of texture, and taste. It is heaven.

I LOVE that Sandi really gave it to Jimmy on that Dickens' quote. It's nice to see. Jimmy's usually the one to give the last joke/zinger line.

Scandinavians did not invent the idea of dreaming. One example is Herodotus describing king Astayages of Medea had a dream that a vine sprouted from his daughter’s womb and covered all of Asia, around 6th century BC.
