This clip is from QI Series I, Episode 3, 'Imbroglio' with Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, John Bishop, Sean Lock and Frank Skinner.
Sean Locke's expression of "Have I just gone back in time?" Is brilliant
Talent recognises talent.
Well John Bishop from Dr Who is on the panel
To me it looks more like "There's a whole avenue of comedy I haven't even explored!"
Intriguingly, Mr Fry doesn't answer the question that he originally posed... 'Leaning on a Lamppost' was written by Noel Gay (Mr Fry would certainly have known that after working on the book for 'Me and My Girl') and 'When I'm Cleaning Windows' was written by Formby (supposedly), Harry Gifford and Fred E. Cliffe.
That last look says it all, long live QI ^^
It takes a special kind of mind to appreciate the cleverness of good low-brow humor.
At least, that's why my State-appointed therapist says.
It's amazing how many really dirty puns are in Shakespeare. Except not many people notice them now because the accent has changed so much that the puns don't work anymore.
@@HermanVonPetri Same with the Canterbury Tales.
Or the even older Decameron stories, if you like your sex with some morality thrown in.
@@HermanVonPetri I think my favourite dirty pun in Shakespeare has to be "what, with my tongue in your tail?" from Taming of the Shrew. The rest of the play lives or dies on the interpretation/adaptation (the Shakespeare ReTold one with Rufus Sewell and Shirley Henderson is the best one IMO), but that pun makes me give a Sid James-level chuckle whenever I read it.
@@EleanorHucklesby Quite a naughty laugh. Haha.
I like the one from "As You Like It" as the motley fool Jaques is talking to the Duke.
"Tis but an hour ago since it were nine
And after one hour more ‘twill be eleven
From hour to hour we ripe and ripe
and from hour to hour we rot and rot
and thereby hangs a tale."
In Shakespeare's accent of the time "hour" would have been pronounced "ooor" much like "whore." So rereading it with the word "whore" in place of "hour" explains why the Duke laughs so much at this little speech.
@@EleanorHucklesbything is…I don’t get this which proves the point that we don’t recognise a lot of the dirtier jokes
That last joke choked me
She's only an optician's daughter, but she'll ring your Bell & Howell.
Did you hear about the optician who fell into the lens grinding machine? Yes, he made a spectacle of himself.
She was only a moonshiner's daughter, but I loved her still.
Did you hear about the baker who got his hand caught in the bread slicer? He was sacked and so was she.
@@johnhrussell4885 Or the butcher who sat on the meat slicer and got behind in her orders.
She was only a mortician's daughter, but anyone cadaver.
She was only the iron mongers daughter but she knew a surprising amount about fish as well.
She was only the Constable's daughter but she let the chief inspector
@@petermortimer6303 that’s a great one 😂
She was only a Farmers daughter, but all the Horse manure! 😊
She was only the Colonel's daughter, but she knew what regiment.
I think I finally know where Tony Warren got his idea for Jack Duckworth's side-hustle cleaning windows on Coronation Street.
Was he the fellow who invented the means to determine who won the game of cricket after five days?
Reminds me of
I used to work in Chicago,
At a convenience store,
I used to work in Chicago,
I did but I don’t anymore,
A lady walked in with some porcelain skin,
I asked her what she came in for,
“Liquor” she said and lick her I did and I don’t work there anymore.
regards to bertie wooster, who tried to learn the banjolele
Where was jeeves at the time?
Do you know the difference between a banjo and a trampoline? Nobody takes their shoes off when they jump on a banjo.
@Johan Johannson Aka lap steel, maybe? Or pedal steel guitar?
They do make good kindling for an accordion fire.
Reminds me of the joke... How many holes are there in a bagpipe? Not enough.
If you throw a banjo, an accordion and a viola of the top of the Empire State Building, which will hit the ground first? Who the hell cares?
The difference between a banjo and an onion…….nobody cries when you cut a banjo in half……
She was only the greengrocer's daughter, but she always lettuce! 🤣
She was only a miner's daughter but she showed you her Pit
@@bengarrionphoenix4207
Eeewww!!
“She may not be the coal Miner’s daughter, but there is plenty of slack in her knickers.”
She was only a telegrapher's daughter, but she di-dit-ah-di-dit...
Play this as x 1.25 speed to get the correct tempo when Frank's playing lol
I've bought all the Formby DVDs there are I think, and yeah watching him play is amazing. He'd like lightning on the uke.
Oh Dear Stephen "... she would show you her plaice and say fillet."
She was only a newsprinter's daughter, but she could lay out the sheets and press.
Every baby should be given a banjo when they are born
It's easy to forget how bawdy Stephen can be!
that was great.
If you arent listening to "Im sorry I havent a clue", we cant be friends.
Long live the innuendo
Just as long as they don't try to shove it down my throat and give it to me straight as for like my mother i can take it regardless of how hard it might be to swallow.
Fred Halibut?
* She was only the race jockey's daughter but all the horseman knew 'er!
* She was only the bus driver's daughter but she knew where to get off.
* She was only the undertaker's daughter, but she knew what to do with a stiff.
She was only a woodcutter's daughter, but she gave all the men circular saws.
She was only an optician's daughter, but two glasses and she'd make a spectacle of herself.
I hope he releases a proper new version of “It’s coming home” but with the names of all all the Lionesses and commentary from Robyn Cowen. Can be a great way to build up to the Copa Finallisima at Wembley which is now sold out (90,000) and the World Cup in June.
She was only a cavalryman's daughter, but all the horsemen knew her. (horse manure)
"When I'm Cleaning Windows" is cheeky? How??
Oh, you baiter, you...
@@3rdmm A master of it, at that!
@3rd Millennium Man NOT a baiter, not even a master baiter. Have you ever heard the lyrics to RAP songs? Makes these sound like kindergarten nursery rhymes.
@Jack Guy And THAT'S cheeky? Hardly. Cute, but not cheeky.
A bunch of lousy twats, when I'm using windows.
Noel Gay
Innuendos, you say?
Have you heard of Samantha from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - ruclips.net/video/Toi27HQHeI8/видео.html
I have! Mrs Trellis from north Wales told me!😬😂
