Stephen's anecdotes are always "Well i was chatting with the queen..." and then Alan is just "I got drunk"
Don't forget shitting himself on Hampstead Heath.,. And losing his glasses
You forget he was high while meeting the queen.
@@goldenredstone04 wouldn't you be?
To be fair Fry keeps company with a lot of queens so it's not a rare occasion when he chats with them. 🤣
@@blackbird5634 Thankfully he does have the breeding and refinement to engage correctly with ACTUAL royalty, and it was precisely that trait that made him such a delight as a host. He is as close to a renaissance man as this species has at the moment.
"...that's a stand-up routine I did. That's not true"
I'm surprised that's the only time I've seen someone make that mistake.
Yeah i imagine it happens to comedians a lot. They make up or exaggerate so many stories for stand up routines it's surprising they don't forget which is which more often.
It's on his Urban Trauma DVD; using cattle with Mad Cow Disease to clear minefields in Vietnam.
Ulquiorra4sama omf i was sat here looking at your icon trying to think of the bleach character i knew it was and then looked at your name
I was just saw trying to remember his name genuinly for almost 5 minutes im so stupid
@@AmmaraSHAH773377 I like turtles!
Alan's probably the only one who would admit it.
He is a magnificent story teller. I love his role in Qi, and as they explained in the making of, smart as hell too. I loved Stephen Fry, I thoroughly enjoy Sandy. But Alan being around makes it the class act it has been for over 15 years now. No one is irreplaceable but Alan is inching towards that threshold!
And he does the best Australian accent of any non Australian. He just nails it.
@@wheresmyoldaccount
The "How to cook a galah" story should definitely be in this compilation!
Tyrey
@@wheresmyoldaccount I think it's the attitude, he's truly an Aussie by heart)))
This show is darn near perfect. Alan, especially, was the inspired choice.
The story with the frog and the dog was the funniest.
I liked the fart and the dog better
And Jimmy's observation really tied it together.
Agree.
He said it was an Alsatian (German Shepherd) and that says it all. Smarter than a 5 yr old.
gmaureen Thank you! I was going through websites trying to figure out what kind of dog he had.
Alan has had the most rick-rolled of all rick-rolled moments ever
Mr.J Glokta Rick-revolving, moreso.
He rick-rolled rick himself on stage lol
Rick was never gonna give him up.
Only person on the planet to be Rick Rotated.
Opening the door and accidentally walking on stage with Rick Astley is probably the most elaborate Rickroll ever 😂😂😂😂😂
Rickrevolve in this case. 🤣
QI RUclips admin is a god. 10+ mins of pure unadulterated Alan.
I love the one about his dog and the frog.
Yeah, whoever they hired for these deserve more praise. Every single one, I'm obligated to watch!
Dave Lewis
Pure unadulterated Alan. Is that what dyslexic homosexuals get up to late at night?
@Sarah Nyb Make sure you apply a liberal amount of bule before performing Alan.
the hero we don't deserve.
Alan is the ideal pub companion.
AHAAAA!
@@CleverGirlAAH 😀
I always thought him or Sean Lock. Pair of them together would be great to sit in a pub with.
"i lost my passport on the plane once, it fell between the seats. but eventually i found it"
-yes?
"that's the story"
"That's the end*** of the story."
I can't believe they didn't include the one with the two cats that got out in the car!
Please someone tell me what episode this is in?!
@@KarmaPoliceRestThisHam J series - Journeys
Alan Davies is so often the butt of jokes in this programme yet he is always good natured about it and he is invariably funny without being offensive to or about anyone
Except Mexicans and Australians lol
Alan's anecdote about him shitting in a bush on Hampstead Heath will forever be one of my favourite moments in qi
For me it's gotta be the amount of funny animal impersonations he does. Top ones being him n Bill Bailey with the lobster walking and the 5 headed caterpillar 🤣 @@colossaltitan3546
Alan really is the heart and soul of that show. The epitome of being a good sport!
I work in hotels and every time a fire alarm goes off you always have a handful of guests who think it's only in their room. The funniest thing is when it happens around check out time and they phone reception saying "why are you sounding an alarm in my room?! I've got another 30 minutes until check out." Yes sir, we actually sound alarms to get people out the rooms, and the really late ones we break the door down with a hose in hand 😂
Luke Sparrow and if they still refuse to check out we just burn the whole place down, that's our policy XD
In my old flat, the fire alarm would sound in every apartment than the one where the supposed fire was...
Kinky. I asked for the knotted rope, you cretin!
I love how alan's first reaction to something making a weird noise is to smack it with his shoe
Yeah, that is why it was terrifying to learn he had children.
I did the exact same thing once. I forgot I was supposed to go to work sunday morning, went out drinking saturday night, came home, passed out and when my alarm went off four hours later I just picked up my phone and screamed into it: "WHAT IS THIS THING, WHY IS IT MAKING THIS NOISE?!" and literally punched it until it went quiet.
@@megaverner yaaaawn
I think Alan would make an excellent childrens presenter, kids pick up on energy, just like animals, they need somebody chill like him.
I keep thinking whenever he's talking about his daughters and how bloody LUCKY they are. And how permanently exhausted his spouse must feel being the only adult in the family)))
@@donnadizucchero And other stories women tell themselves to feel superior
@@ararune3734 how do you mean?
@@donnadizucchero "And how permanently exhausted his spouse must feel being the only adult in the family"
This feminist trope is getting old. I'd expect her to get up to check on her daughter, being the only adult and all.
@@ararune3734 he reminded me of my own father, it's just the only thing that I know pretty well; also a show biz person too; and neither me nor me mom are feminists, ahhahaha, I'm exreeeemely conservative btw in those "tropes")))
Just finished Alan Davies' 2020 memoir "Just Ignore Him" and my great love for his humour on QI just grew by leaps and bounds, knowing what he's gone through as a child.
absolutely it was so sad
I’m not even sure why “What’s mesh??” is so dang funny, but it is 😂
That’s most of his humour 😂😂… “I don’t know why this is so funny“
Alan’s daughter: *Screams in horror after basically disembowelling herself in her bedroom*
Alan: 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eh? What's wrong with laughing at that? She spewed red lentil and tomato soup all over herself and ended up looking like Carrie.
Yes, it looked like she'd committed hara-kiri, but... it was only red soup, man. Good job it wasn't mulligatawny; that's brown and looks like diarrhoea. ;-)
Jo Brand was not amused by Alan’s lentil tale.
@@ellenflanagan2220 Jo Brand doesn't laugh at anything
@@Sidowse True. I don't like her sense of humour at all.
Stephen is the heart of the show, Alan is the soul.
Lourenco Almada I would have said that Stephen is the brain, Sandi is the heart, but Alan is indubitably the soul of the show.
Sandi is like one of the kidneys of the show. Or maybe the liver.
and Sandi is the elbow.
I'd picture Sandi as much "the brain of the show" as Stephen. Her broad knowledge, sharp wit, and intelligence astound me. But they are/were both undoubtedly the heart of the show, too!
@@lovez2eat Stephen just has that special element to him that makes him much better as the QI host for me. Although Sandi is enjoyable too
The red lentil and tomato soup story was fantastic I cried with laughter literally rolling around on the floor
Only one issue with this: *IT'S TOO SHORT, I NEED MOOOOORE*
I agree entirely as yes it is too short, xx
alan rickrolling himself by accidentally walking onstage with rick astley is the most alan thing ever
The frog in the water bowl one was bloody brilliant
Alan Davies is a treasure.
yes,he should be buried.
I could listen to Alan Davies telling stories forever. He's just a superb storyteller.
Two friends decide to combine Stephens knowledge and Alans humour to create a knowledge game show for all types of people. Who knew that learning could be so fun 😉
I still love the concept of a top secret skyscraper. And that's definitely the nicest story that began "I fired a machine gun in Vietnam"
Long overdue! Must have been hard to narrow it down to only 10 minutes.
Wasn't expecting to see you here.
Indeed! No Blue Whale or Moon, so particularly impressive :)
I love Alan's stories. I could listen to the entire running time of the show for a new Alan story.
Alandmark achievement for QI.
*A landmark
That one flew over your head.. you bastard!
So what do you call it when you walk into Rick Astley performing Never Gonna Give You Up, in a revolving restaurant? Rickrevolving?
Want to be a good story teller? Study the way Alan relates the frog in the water bowl incident. Raconteur Supreme.
Miming a lot of it out in an amusing way as you talk goes a long way.
I'm also fond of the Richard Pryor method, where you personify everything in the story. You'll notice a common thread when Richard would tell a story, of how often parts of his body talked to him. "And my legs said, 'Fuck it!'" etc.
An example of good comedic delivery is Alan’s fire alarm story. It could have been a lot less funny if the punchline was anywhere else.
The impression of the frog in the water bowl cracks me up everytime!
@rohmarts I remember the frog in the water bowl story from when it was first broadcast. Always stayed with me. Glad it's up here. It's priceless.
@@gopherfacts6915
Same with me: despite seeing it dozens- possibly hundreds of times, I always forget which episode it’s off, and have to google “Alan frog story” haha.
I know the routine off by heart, but it still makes me laugh, every time I see it.
All the best.
I'm rewatching this for 2 years straight now ❤️ Alan IS QI
Alan is such good fun. Pure character.
Alan's ability to mime anything is phenomenal. At 8:38 he BECAME that frog.
Please do one for when Alan is doing impressions of people or animals,they're really funny
isra alkatip yes omg the animal ones are amazing!
YESSSSS
ruclips.net/video/mhdrO4qBDxA/видео.html
His impression of Sandi meeting Julie Andrews is comedy gold.
Alan’s France 98 story makes me proud to be Scottish hahaha
I love Alan so so much!!!
He really is the best self deprecating comedian I've seen.
Alan is such a unique comic personality. Please upload another one of these compilations.
Alan's dog was quite smart. Hope he appreciated it as such.
6:07 you can see stephen instantly picked up that he was also part of this story
Just discovered this adorable human. What a feeling! Savouring the early stage of discovery while it lasts. Not surprised that I am immensely infatuated.
It'd be great to have Karl Pilkington on.
Him, Bill Bailey, Alan, and Ross Noble would be a panel rife with banter, with Sandi pulling her hair out trying to make sense of it all.
That is my one wish to the QI Elves. Please see it done.
You're assuming Pilkington has any interest in these shows at all. The only way you would get him on this show is if it was an episode entirely dedicated to monkeys doing cool shit.
I think Brian May would be a great guest, on a space/music episode.
@Monty Python the Flying Circus That would be the greatest episode in QI history. Add Celia Imrie as the fourth guest and that panel would be MARVELLOUS!
@@MM-dq2pi HELLS YEAH!
Karl Pilkington is symbolic of all that is bland and unfunny...
Alan: ...
Dog: "Sir, there's a strange creature in the kitchen, I need your help immediately."
I was hoping for Alan's scintillating tale of losing his wallet and passport on an airplane. "Then I found it...that's the end of the story."
Great vid!! Wouldn't hurt to watch a part 2 in the future 😉
I don't know why british shows are so appealing...... Graham norton, QI even the older shows like blackadder and a bit of fry and laurie or even new shows like netflix's crown ....... Way to go Britain, keep it up
Coz we are great at dead-pan realistic comedy, as are the Scottish & Irish... & we don’t take ourselves too seriously anymore, as most cultures who have been around more than 500 years don’t... 😊
Alan really does have good anekdotes.
I'm just going to watch this on a loop for the next few days. I love this man 😍😍
I love when Colin tried to come back at Stephen after he made a joker about his reward, then was immediately shut down by him saying he was the first one to receive it
7:35 Brilliant from Alan.
Glasgow Celtic champions.
Just love Alan Davies. Thanks for giving us 10 minutes of pure laughter laced happiness.
i'm calling it... Alan is now a national treasure.
Alan is that person on QI who can get your mood higher no matter how shitty your day was (literaly no matter how much it was awful).
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this my whole life, thank you QI RUclips!
Thank you for showing my hometown! You rock!
I can imagine a tv series similar to "As yet untitled" where Alan, Stephen, Bill Bailey et al just sit like this, yarning with each other and making us all fall about in the process. What better way to fill an evening?
Would really like to see a part 2 of this
There is no QI without Alan. I genuinely find him hilarious.
My favorite part about the perrier award story is that Noel Fielding was also on that episode and he won Best Newcomer at Edinburgh with the Boosh a few years later. What a fantastically funny panel
It's obvious where Alan's daughter got her sense of humour from, lol, xx
Too right mate
Absolutely wonderful, could listen to him for hours.
Oh wow, these 10 minutes went by extremely fast, great compilation!
Alan and Stephen were a magical combination 😊
Dude the intro is like this is a "in memory of" type of video
'he was funny while he lasted'
I mean, eventually it will be.
You didn't hear?
@@TiganWelsh now you've gone and made it sad
I live for Alan's anecdotes
Alan is such a star. I am in stitches!
The video compilations y'all (texas) have been producing lately are fantastic, cheers!
Fantastic compilation, thanks guys.
quickest 10 minutes of my life i love this guy
Just love Alan...QI is brilliant but about 70%of that brilliance is Alan.😂❤❤
This made my week!! Needed wise words from alan💖
oooh I wish it was longer! thanks for the laugh, Alan's the best!
I want more of this! More of Alan!😊
This is the best thing ever ..... Please can we have some more ...
You could call them... *Alanecdotes*
You are Alan Partridge and I claim my five pounds!
Anecdavies
You could, but you shouldn't.
@@Hagg-o-tron _"AHAAAAA...!"_
Only if he tells them in Arabic
Watching this for the 3rd time now. Stays awesome
Thank you whoever you are created this!!!
Oh Alan!
Alan... Alan... Alan... Alan... Alan... PARTRIDGE!!! AHA!!! AHA!!!
Brian May would be a great guest on a space/music episode, QI Elves!
He could tell about his dad's George Formby ukulele, or building his 'Red Special' guitar.
I'm waiting for part 2!
I would love more. I could listen to Alan tell stories forever. A bit of a crush, actually.
I just love who ever runs this RUclips challenge
That was lovely.
i adore this dude!
9:10 Fry absolutely clamping Colin Lane with class.
I love that frog story
i love how pleased colin is with himself about rubbing the perrier award in alans face xD
Jimmys laugh makes everything better
Alan is gold!
Aw, bless him.
Whoever made that intro... perfect
Oh Britain, what it must feel like to have your greatest national treasures already assembled and available for public appreciation at the click of a button...
So is there a premium-rate phone line that I can call for unadulterated anecdotes with Alan Davies?
What a legend
Such a naturally funny man
That was a stand up routine I did... Haha classic.
We need a part 2!!
Amazing
I adore Alan
