The best rounds of the 6th series of Qi featuring Stephen Fry, Sean Locke, Alan Davies, David Mitchell and many others! Comment your favourite moment below!

Alan's facial expressions when spoken to in French are simply hilarious.
At 1:02:30 Stephen says that the fishermen "snap off the claws" of a stone crab and that is incorrect. The fishermen only remove the larger of the two claws before tossing the crab back in the ocean. A crab with one claw can still eat and defend itself, if at somewhat of a disadvantage, but a crab with no claws would starve to death or be killed long before it could grow two new claws. Thought you would appreciate knowing the correct answer.
David: "Have they just made up any old crap??"
Fry: "Actually that's our foley artist"
Point of order at 41:45 - Americans do NOT call jam jelly - we cal it jam. Jelly is made from heavily strained fruit juices and has no pulp or seeds (here called puips", jam contains small amounts of pulp and usually includes seeds from fruits that have edible seeds. Another degree is preserves, in which all edible parts of the fruit are used without any straining to remove any pulp, skin, or seeds.
I love QI, but I nevertheless have to point out that, in America, we have jelly, made using the fruit juice only, while jam uses the fruit juice and pulp. I explain this not only to be pedantic, but also because I am heir to a huge jam making empire.😉
Welcome to QI, where they often just make things up.
Yeah, I noticed they tend to use one word for similar things like that. Where we differentiate between jelly, jam, preserves, etc, they just call it all jam.
It's a little bit of both. Manufacturers always differentiate on their label, but in common usage the word "jelly" covers both since it's largely just personal preference. But you will never hear someone use the word "jam" in that way, the guy above has absolutely zero clue about word usage in the US.

@@Pagliacci_Rex I don't see anyone else here.
It's almost frustrating that none of the panelists mentioned Monty Python with the coconuts for horses 😂
ayes, that was just begging to be enlarged upon. Poor Patsy laboured in vain (it was Patsy wasn't it?).
@mctavish199 "come, patsy" yeah you got it
i literally own 2 coconut halves for the specific purpose of playing "holy grail" bits. i feel cultured, as an american, to have that depth of humor.
I'd be like talking about lungs because there's air nearby you, it's just part and parcel of the thing
Kind of blew my mind
27:29 just looked up the etymology of the word “robot” and it comes from a Czech word meaning “forced labor.” What a perfect dystopian sci-fi word it turns out to be
Forced can also mean powered.
@bchearne, It comes from a play «R.U.R.» («Rossum's Universal Robots») - by Karel Chapek written in 1920 году, he died in a concentration camp in 1943.
in modern english, "robotic" still means "mindless and repeated." basically a machine doing the same thing over and over without thought.
brain the size of a planet, and asked to bring them up to the bridge
“robota” means simply “work” or “labour” in most Slav languages. There’s no element of compulsion (beyond that normally used to get people out of bed on a Monday).
david mitchell vs emma thompson on emmys, i am friggin rolling!
@verses please do the rest of the series! Love these compilations. Thank you for doing them!
for some reason, no youtube channel, including BBC and QI, will show Fry full episodes in the US. we can see clips, but not full episodes. ITS BS BECAUSE WE LIKE FRY!
In my humble opinion, Stephen Fry is the best dressed man on earth, his tie closet must be larger than my house 😂 I love all his ties 😂
Someone said he dresses like a Batman villain and it’s all I can see now
I'm one of his greatest fans, but I have to disagree about him being well dressed. His taste is atrocious, his colour combinations disastrous. But that's quite endearing in itself. His mind is one of the sharpest around, his knowledge apparently infinite, and he oozes empathy.
Love all these shows
i want to know why we cant get Fry episodes in the US. it's all restricted. it's stupid, we love fry over here! we want the show! we want the show!
FYI..the peanut butter trick was also used with Milli Vanilli and actress Andie MacDowell in the 1984 movie Tarzan
The Phillips screwdriver - John P. Thompson invented it. He sold the design to Henry F. Phillips. Thompson wasn’t able to muster up any commercial interest for his screwhead. Phillips was obviously a better (or luckier) salesman-or else we’d all have Thompson screwdrivers in our toolboxes right now. And it was designed not because the original screwdriver slipped out and cut his hand, but because the old shape allowed the user to over-tighten the screw. Something you don't want because you can't move it afterwards and may cause the screw head to strip out or snap off, which compromises the integrity of the attachment and renders the fastener useless. If you try and over tighten a Phillips screw, the Phillips screwdriver is designed to slip out to prevent over-tightening.
I aint NEVER gonna stop loving Stepen Fry!arhh!😊
Is that Stephen's gayer brother?
@@cyrushalfacre9368 exactly 😉
I really enjoy how Jimmy Carr pushes Stephen’s buttons by being as crude as possible
carr's tactic is "push the buttons" because he's great at reacting to that. crude + reaction is how he builds his shows. ive seen like 9 of them, he's good at what he does
Jimmy does talk about noncing kids a bit too much.
I hope he doesn’t turn out to be a friend of saville one day.
You know, from reading this comments section I get the sneaking suspicion that they may also have jam in the US, and that it's distinct from jelly somehow.
Lol, so many keyboard vigilantes
Yes, it is different. Jam is thicker and softer and has recognizable fruit in it and jelly is firmer and doesn't have recognizable pieces of fruit in it. Next we have marmalade...
I truly believe that the reason I get "depressed" (note quotation marks and lower case) so often is because real life is not similar to an episode of QI (intelligent and witty people getting together and being amusing). Stephen Fry gets Phil Jupitus, Alan Davis, Zoe Lyons, Susan Calman, etc. and all I get are people who want to talk about, in detail, their current health problems., or point out mistakes in punctuations.
I have clinical depression and I think if I got on an episode it might cure it.
I get 'depressed' when people don't close their parentheses.
i feel this comment deeply. people who are dumber than average actually cause me mental distress. i've been tested multiple times, starting over 25 years ago for military service, and more recently for less happy reasons, and the results all said "big numbers over 130" and "wow that's a lot of autism." im ok with both, but it makes your comment hit even harder!
@@ghomerhust I have become a quasi hermit.If I stay in my apartment for more than a day or two, at most, it negatively affects my mood. Yet, I have withdrawn from friendships for the reason (plus a few others) I stated. At this point in life (I admit to being 10,000 years old😉), I get my social needs met by what many would label "superficial relations (people at my favorite coffee shop, restaurants, bookstores, etc.) True there is little depth, but there is a great deal more calm. Who knows? Maybe I am just bad at choosing friends, but I do know this it's my life to figure out, as best I can. Two RUclips channels I watch are " The School of Life, and "Einzelganger". I can't say they are for everyone, but consider viewing them and see what you think. One other bit Socrates said, " The unexamined life is not worth living." I believe this to be true, but I add this warning, "The life to frequently and too closely examined is a living nightmare." I do not claim to be a great thinker, in the quality of my thoughts, but I overdo it in terms of quantity. Good luck! I hope your reach the place where you wish to be, and that it brings you your own brand of happiness.
I have friends like this…
41:31 we do not call “jam” jelly. We may call it “preserves”. Jam has seeds/fruit bits; jelly is seedless and free of bits of fruit.
Jam doesn't have to have seeds in. So yes, jam is called jelly in the US. Some variations might be called differently
Re: Twelve Days of Christmas, in the US we sing “Five golden rings”
I like the way that Stephen Fry let Pam Ayres go on for so long about flying fish before essentially calling bullshit.
Well, I don't quite think it was BS. I have seen them and they do fly for what feels like a long long time. But even 10 seconds is quite a while for a fish. You kind of expect it to be like an extra long jump, but it is much, much more like a bird flying than a fish jumping. If you watch birds flitting around in the garden, you almost never see one flying for 30 seconds at a time simply because they would probably be out of sight by that time. Flying fish are very fast so if your boat isn't moving, they can put quite a bit of distance between you in even a short flight, which is why videos don't often do justice to how cool they are. In any case, I think she was just overestimating the actual time ("minutes and minutes") and trying to get across the point that they really do seem to fly for a surprising amount of time.
You may be right about all of that, but in the video, Fry definitely has the "I'm calling BS on that" vibe. @@leafan101
@@BumMcFluff Maybe, but I think he was just being kind of funny about, claiming she was not remembering correctly, rather than saying she is lying.
You're probably right.@@leafan101
@@leafan101 they fly longer than a chicken/ostrich/emu, which is a bird, an animal known for FLIGHT......
" fly straight , with perfection - find me , a new direction " @ The Raven , by The Stranglers . Hugh Cornwell was there in the 80s . ❤
Fingers and Fumbs remains my favorite QI episode with Stephen Fry. The grunts that the guys let out when they try to lift their ring fingers at 1:10:55 make me giggle, even all these years later.
It's how they make every soap opera, Jimmy
@4:43 Holy crap! I never noticed with his hair, but Allen Davies is the spitting image of Maynard James Keenan.
Speaking of the Swiss Family Robinson, Lost in Space was the Robinson family... Loved the Netflix series.
I’m still waiting for series G and thank you for the work
The hair😂
thank you for your service Pam Ayers
I had barely looked at the screen, when I recognised her :) She visited my hometown when I was a kid, back in the 80s, but I never forgot her face
Thanks
It’s called a Wilhelm scream. You hear it just about every where.
In the US jam and jelly are similar but distinct things. Jelly is made with fruit juice and jam is made with fruit pulp.
and preserves are made with the songs of angels and the sugar of the heavens
"Arse pelmet" XDDD
Ben Miller is one of my favorite actors . How come he hasn’t done more of these panel shows ?
How could they discuss coconut shells without mentioning Holy Grail?
i own 2 old coconut shells specifically for instances when i need to make horse sounds. because im a rare cultured american
@@ghomerhust😂😂😂
i do think it would be like doing a silent goofy walk with a cane and a mustache and then saying, "hey you know that was charlie chaplin" - just too on the nose. everyone at that table spent their childhoods, like you and me, watching python and the goons and hanging out with Doug.
As an American, watching Reginald D Hunter and Rich Hall grace your screens, reminds me why I watch British television. Just a subtle reminder, "Oh yeah, they're not funny; I'm glad I'm watching British television."
Pourquoi !? Qu'est-ce qui se passe!? Reg and Rich aren't funny!? They're very clever for sure and wit is definitively hilarious.
they snap off one claw; not both. they leave one claw so it will survive the next year to have another claw snapped off.
Great video!
slight correction to Stephen about Americans and jam, we have both jam and jelly, jam is made with the whole fruit including skins and pulp where applicable, jelly is made with the juice from the fruit mixed with pectin which is a sweetener and thickener but we do have both
Jam and Jelly are two very different animals.
RIP sean locke
We call “jam” jam. Jelly is not the same as jam in the US. And neither of those are preserves.
because preserves are also made with the laughter of angels and the happiness of pure moonlight
I was thinking that. Because of that episode of Friends when Chandler mentions jams and jellies.
I suppose it makes sense to restrict non-stone buildings, as before long possibly all kinds of undesirable materials will start popping up, then a precedent is set in stone, no pun intended lol. Anyway whatever you build will be excellent, great work as usual.
I think you are great
Rob Brydon has had some serious hair implants since this programme, hasn't he?

"arse pelmet!"
the US says jam if there’s seeds and fruit bits, jelly if strained.
surprised they didnt mention that kuchen in german also means biscuit and the suggestiion was that she meant a dried biscuit but in anycase there was some big spin doctoring being done against her so her days were numbered anyway.
Louis VII divorced Aliénor d'Aquitaine in 1152. The 100 years war started in 1337. Only 185 years off... 🤨
The fire insurance thing is a myth. If there was a fire, they absolutely would put it out because life matters and the different fire companies would help each other.
28:35 Stephen being horrified of the man-on-man action makes it all the More delicious.
Correction for the elves: In America, jelly is only the juice of the fruit; jam includes pulp and may contain seeds. So our jelly is the same as your jelly and your jam is the same as our jam. The same.
Jam and jelly are two different things
1:06:35 gets me every time xDD
it is only jelly if there are no pips of any kind
We have both jelly and jam here in the US
Us too! Us too!
i ignore all of them and go straight for "preserves" because i dont like PASTE....

Hahaha not sure if Stephen got that Phillips head joke.
Grew up on a farm and witnessed many births- lamb birth didn’t sound like that I can vouch for that much
We do not call jam “jelly”. They are two completely separate things.
What they call jam we call jelly because they don't differentiate between them. Jelly there is Jell-O but jam is pretty much any fruit based spread.
@@Pagliacci_Rex Incorrect.
@@ev6558 seriously? Get a life.
@@Pagliacci_Rex Your "life" is sitting in a QI comment section telling Americans how they speak in their own country while getting angry at people who do the same to you.

Is it wrong to be hopelessly in love with Emma?
No
I beg to differ... they do not call jam "jelly" in America. Jam and jelly are two different things. Jam is the sweetened spread of cooked down fruits and/or berries with pectin added as required for firmness. Jelly is jam that has been strained prior to cooling so it has no pips or fruit pulp, just the jelled liquid.
Time for the ppl that dont understand accents to come crawling out of the woodwork
The dee that, the dee...
Im america, jelly is jam with all the bits sivved out. Jam is jam
Sieved.
Not quite. Jelly is made with fruit juice, jam is made with fruit. You can have seedless jam.

Bacteria in the mouth is a thing! It is the reason they medicated me with penicillin at the dentist, because I had rheumatic fever as a boy! That same bacteria reaching the heart is reason they gave me for giving me Penicillin, every time I went to the dentist. And because of their prophylactic use of penicillin every time I went to the dentist, I am now allergic to said drug!!

"Quintessential". That's the word we needed. Problem solved.
Stephen just said that Americans call jam, jelly, but we don't. Jelly and Jam are not the same thing. I'm surprised that the show made such a simple mistake.
What you would call jelly, the brits call jam.
What is the difference? 🤷🏼♀️
@@LeeAnneGuerin The main difference is that jelly is made with just the fruit juice while jam/preserves are made with both juice and the whole fruit. Jam is easier to spread, too. Jelly has an almost slightly jello like consistency. It's a little bit wiggly, for lack of a better way to say it. When we say peanut butter and jelly sandwich, we're talking about the one with just juice and traditionally grape jelly. That being said, jam is good with peanut butter, too. Strawberry jam is good with peanut butter...although it might be considered sacrilege by some! Lol
@@Mark-sx3rf Does British jam have whole fruit in it? If it does, we would also call it jam. If it only has fruit juice and not the whole fruit, too, then we would call jelly. So do the British call what Americans call jam, preserves? The words jam and preserves are used to mean the same thing in America. Wow! This is watching QI has done to me! I didn't think the jam/jelly thing could get this involved! Lol

After go’ogling around, I didn't realize that Simmy Krotiel's Bigger Blueprint was updated and you can make it bigger even faster, yep, what Simmy suggested before was pretty good, but now it can grow up to 4 ins, I managed 3 ins myself and I feel like a monster lol
