You could always see the moment Richard Nixon remembered to smile as well, as if he was thinking, "Oh - right - a human would smile now."
👍😄😄😄😄😄my mother wouldn't vote for Nixon ,cause she read he ate cottage cheese w ketchup on it for lunch every single day,and,therefore was convinced something was misfiring somewhere..
@@Maya_Pinion I thought about that for a bit. I actually might try eating that.
The "It's ma pleasure you're so welcome" "Ya all have a nice day and come back soon now ya hear." smile
In a lot of Asian countries, their focus for facial expressions is the eyes rather than the mouth, which can be noted in the difference of early emoticon. In the Western :) and :’( the eyes don’t change, whereas in the Japanese equivalent ^_^ and T_T the mouth doesn’t change.
Quite interesting, have some points.
Also there's the entire concept of the "eyesmile" as well as people covering up their mouths when they laugh out of a type of politeness, so the only expression you can see on an individual's face when they smile or laugh is the eyes!

0:41 He's smiling because his grandson Charlie has just found a Golden Ticket!
Oh my gosh the resemblance!
They cut out the best joke in that bit, Alan saying that you know if someone is really glad to see you when "they become engorged"
I have to admit-that was my first thought.
0:40 That's how I smile if I'm facing the sun; doesn't mean I'm not genuinely happy to see the washed-out silhouette of the person in front of me.
You can definitely control your eyes to imitate a real smile. I've been doing it for years thanks to Tyra Banks
Right! And, y'know, actors.
Just had to Wiki Tyra Banks. Oh. and so what. *BUT*
I do believe you rather than Qi's research. Why? Well .........
Its generally held people can barely voluntarily control the muscles around the eyes, and cannot control the muscles of their scalp or ears.
IN FACT .......... Some people *can* wagle their ears and make their scalp oscilate.
I sometimes do the ears thing to distract folk in meetings when I'm bored.
Eyes, they'e just too easy. Just think yourself amused and you'll get the hang of it PDQ.
That was quite interesting
This is why people who have had Botox injections around the corners of their eyes have terrible smiles.
Anyone who has botox anywhere has terrible everything.
@@ze_rubenator There actually are some legitimate medical uses for botox injections, vanity just isn't one of them.
@@Ngamotu83 That's a fair point.
@@Ngamotu83 Yeah. Imagine how Diane Rehm would've sounded without the micro-units of botox for her vocal chord problems....
@@ze_rubenator yeah my daughter had Botox twice in her anal sphincter before she was one to help her poop. So there are medical applications. It's still funny saying it though.
Rich Hall really insisted on wearing the most American outfit he could find huh
He always does, it's an integral part of his schtick.
Not rocking a Planet Express tee though.
Doesn’t look like a KKK robe to me
A cap on backwards is the american uniform.
Welcome to the concept of Rich Hall.
I learned early in my life to smile with my eyes. Your mouth will follow. Today, I'm a nobody.
Smiling with your eyes is not involuntary. There are just a lot of people who've never spent time thinking about what their faces are doing when they're showing emotion. Most people can do it if you spend a few minutes looking in the mirror and imagining something made you happy. You'll learn the muscle memory to do it on command. Any actor can.
How on Earth does America not have a show like this?
I could be wrong but the BBC tried an American version of QI but the Americans just didn't watch it XD
I mean, they don't have Stephen Fry. It was doomed to failure.
The format was pitched to a number of American TV networks, and they all turned it down. The reasons they gave were:
1) It was too intellectual for the American viewer.
2) The scoring system wasn't clear enough - so viewers couldn't "root for their favorite [sic] celebrities to win"
3) There were no prizes for the winner.
4) There were no opportunities for guests to promote their new book/film/TV show
5) Nobody would want to sponsor the show, because they asked questions about religion and politics.
America only cares about Capitalism and Victory. This show has no cash prizes and no winner. How do you interest Americans in 5 funny intellectuals sitting around having a lighthearted conversation about little known trivia?
Though if they brought this to America for real, I'd hope for Jerry Springer to be the host
As a colorblind person, I'm very curious what figures everyone else is seeing is Alan's shirt...
And the number is ............
863?
It's not a number; it's an outline drawing of a blue whale.
1:13 - Alan is quite often the funniest guy on the set! Love him, and the way he and Stephen communicates.
2:56 - For some time, I thought Alan was gay. This makes me wonder, as I had the exact same thought... Does it mean that Alan is straight, or am I gay? I feel pretty confused right now...
You usually pay extra for a third probe. Well done, Barry.
It depends on how close you hug...
Her tail wags. A real lot.!
Gordon Brown's 'false smile' is ironic rhyming slang: Gordon Brown = frown.
Ecru hose and a tan suspender belt is my guess in answer to Alan's last query.
I smile with my eyes even when faking. Noticed this when I was a child
Me too
😬 vs 😁
You might be a psychopath, congrats.
@@oz_jones or depressed
I would particularly mistrust a Cheshire Cat smile
🙂
Pleasure Gauge? My girlfriend has one of those
I'm guessing you always make it 0
If it was always zero, how would they know she had a gauge?
He didn’t say his girlfriend’s gauge worked
@@deo11 Well he built her, she's a robot...
Is that what she calls her spreader bar? 😏
Barry was his uncel
😆
To be fair, if you're someone who has to fake a smile on a regular basis you get pretty good at spotting them
Can I just say you can fake smiling g with your eyes with a bit if practice because not only was I taught it in McDonalds when I was a Customercare but also how do you think actors do it, like yourself Stephen
I can't smile properly. I fell off my bike when I was 12 and landed on my upper lip. The subsequent injury severed the nerve that would let me raise my upper lip. Even then, I was incredibly lucky. If I had landed half an inch higher, I would have crushed my nose, half an inch lower, I would have lost all my front teeth.
Sounds like you barely have a reason to smile anyway.
@@zeroireland No. That would have been had his groin impacted the steering head with 6+G of force.
It would have also caused his teeth to expand and protrude permanently.
George from George and Mildred
guy looks like sean lock tbh lol
It's in his kiss.
No, I can see it in her eyes.
Shit you can't leave us hanging there after Alan's question! I need to know if the girl on the left is wearing anything under her coat dammit!
And where I can look her up online!
👍🇦🇺
You absolutely can smile with just your eyes, maybe not all have the motor ability to do so, but not everyone can wiggle their eyebrows either...
Is she?
So how many went to a mirror to smile?
Nope,just you.
I'm lazy
Well please come on, pick something.
Freaky Leek perfect timing
Jupiter goes on a bit
@@CelineRazavi same thing...
When he says "no, that is not a gun."
Not true. I've trained myself to smile with my eyes. Makes people feel more comfortable. I can in fact smile with my eyes and not my mouth.
Well done
@@lryoung3655 Thank you! 😁
Well that
sounds mental @_@
@@zetetick395 I can be a little quirky.
You think you've trained yourself to do that, but we'll be the judge
I know women who've had Botox and only the lips 👄 can 😁 smile,somewhat.
No
What do you mean by "smile with eyes"?
I always thought it was a turn of phrase, which meant an insincerity, but actually had nothing to do with eyes. I mean, how do you smile with your eyes? Do the irises change colour or something? Get smaller or bigger? Is it some sort of eyelid movement? Pretty much nobody ever specifies that - a sure sign of metaphoric exaggeration in my book.
it's basically the narrowing of your eyelids and the wrinkling in the area where people get whats called "crow's feet". if you don't see that wrinkling in a smile, it's not genuine.
edit: unless they've had botox injections in that part of their face, then those wrinkles don't show.
The famed photographer Yousuf Karsh did a portrait of Rudolf Nureyev in 1977. The caption to the picture in the book I have says this: 'The celebrated dancer/choreographer was guest artist with the National Ballet of Canada and would shortly venture into his first film role, that of the great screen lover Rudolph Valentino. During our photographic session, we cajoled each other about great lovers. "Let me see those sensuous lips of yours," I playfully suggested. Puckishly, mischievously, he covered his mouth and smiled with his eyes.'
A "smile" is a happy facial expression. There is no indication in any part of that word that it is related to the lips or mouth. A fake smile is just a contortion of the lips to feign an approximation of a smile, but a genuine smile uses the entire face, not just the mouth. Cheeks tighten, jaw lifts, eyes narrow, forehead wrinkles. Someone faking a smile won't put in the effort
No, she is not.
I think Gordon Brown would have been better off not smiling at all and be known as the grumpy prime minister. Rather than this truly awful fake smiling nonscence. Watching the footage back its truely cringeworthy!
Gordon Brown must of had a pr advisor or something? Surely? Or was he surrounded by a bunch of yes men.
Shit
This is plain false (and QI, incidentally, has admitted that their 'facts' are indeed likely to be proven wrong).
It is entirely possible to fake a smile with your eyes as well. Just tested it myself (and I can spot a fake smile from miles away).
Anyway, source reference: I.
They didn't say it's impossible to fake a smile better or that this would identify all fakes, only that if you spot someone not smiling with their eyes you know it's fake.
Phil Stupidest is annoying AF
