"do you know you're absolutely right" gets me everytime
Sandi slamming the pen down in exasperation is the cherry on top
Her reaction was PRICELESS.
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE just how much she was done after Fry's comment.
& it happened twice in this clip, nearly
a bit less dramatic when you realize she peeked at every answer on the show before she made "head captain" of the show. impressive acting though.
"I've got it!"
"what?"
"chainsaw, innit."
Alec Whatshisname DAMN HE'S TO GOOD

*spits water* Chainsaw? :O
This reminds me of an anecdote: My mother worked for the U.S. Forest Service a long, long time ago (I think this incident happened in the early 1980s). One of the rangers on the forest she worked with had been sent out one day to do a bit of clearing with a chainsaw. He went out completely alone and, since he would be working with some rather big trees, he had a saw with a particularly long blade. One of the dangers with a chainsaw is that there are a few anomalies that can occur, specifically is one where the blade can snap back in a powerful upward motion (the blade snaps up with the handle remaining pretty much in place... other than rotating). This is exactly what happened while he was sectioning a particularly large log to make it easier to remove. When the blade snapped up, he cut himself in the throat. Worse still, he hit his jugular.
Knowing that he'd never make it to a hospital in time he decided to accept his fate, so he calmly sat down and began to take in the beautiful scenery, and make peace with his god as he awaited the eventual end of his time here on Earth. After about 10 minutes, being as he was still conscious, he figured, _''To hell with it! I'll try making it to the hospital and, if I start getting light-headed, I'll just pull over...''_ (he didn't want to pass out, lose control of his vehicle and hurt anyone). Lo and behold though... he made it! After arriving at the hospital - and going though emergency vascular surgery - they told him that he made it by the skin of his teeth... another couple of minutes and he would have died from blood loss. They also told him that, his decision to sit down and ''accept'' his fate had a lot to do with his survival. By doing so, he'd calmed himself, which greatly decreased his heart rate and that was one of the best thing he could have done because it drastically slowed the rate of his blood loss; that, in turn, allowed him just enough time to make it to the hospital. Had he set out for the hospital immediately, while being extremely stressed and worrying all the way whether or not he was going to make it, he probably would have bled out and lost his life (even with the 10 minutes head start).
Anyway... that's my chainsaw story.
Brilliant story. I know its only been a week but why haven't you got a million likes?
@@Richard_Jones -- Because this video is several years old, only to be found by the occasional viewer. That doesn't bother me though, since this story is exactly for those occasional viewers.
Wow, like falling out of a plane and landing in a pillow factory.
Jesus that's a beautiful story
That's how you kill a circus isn't it.
Go for the juggler 🤣
"It is the ladies ward, so of course there's some baking going on"
XD
Is it a radical thought that maybe there's some hot buns and tea being prepared for the patients? Whilst simultaneously heating the room? Maybe the gents wards looked the exact same.
Some radical ideas.
@@jabloko992 It was a joke about woman being in the kitchen.
@@BDtetra no, it was a feminist brainfart about percieved injustice, that was not a joke just standard feminist idiocy
jabloko992 snowflake alert
@@techno1561 Yeah. Hot water can be used for all sorts of things from tea to cleaning up and warm towels. It's possible they're making food there, but I'd imagine something more along the lines of a hot stew in that big pot rather than buns.
As a side note... imagine how moist the air must be if they're boiling the water right in the room.
Stephen; You were in the right area
Jeremy: Circumcision!
Genuinely laughing my arse off xD
Better than sawing it off.
That was my first thought as well.
SenMysrana giving the arse a second crack
no that was the cigar cutter
"I don't know why we're talking about this Steven."
😁 A conversation between two homosexuals, about where one's looking during the moment of conception😂
Brilliant.
“I don’t know why you and I are having this conversation.”
Well LGBTQI people do conceive babies
@@CashelOConnolly unnaturally yes
Lube no some conceive with lesbians
@@toadfaceass how...how does someone concieve a baby unnaturally what are you even talking about
Before we'd invented anaesthetic, all operations were essentially just attempted murder.
Gordon Freemason the trick was keeping them alive long enough to pay you
Gordon Freemason
There's always an exception. Robert Liston only lost about 1 in 10, on the operating table.
He did have one terrible case though for which he is famous, for having the only 300% mortality rate for a single operation. He killed the patient and two others.
+godscop999 Please don't elaborate. I'm going to pretend that he got so frustrated after killing off his patient that he began a killing frenzy and managed to take out two other attending physicians.
Amputated the leg in under 2 1⁄2 minutes (the patient died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene; they usually did in those pre-Listerian days). He amputated in addition the fingers of his young assistant (who died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene). He also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator, who was so terrified that the knife had pierced his vitals he dropped dead from fright.
That was the only operation in history with a 300 percent mortality.
'TRIPLE KILL!'
This is by far my favourite quiz show of all time. It doesn't matter how low & down in the dumps I'm feeling, this show always makes me laugh! 😂🤣
Sandy's reaction after getting the answer right was one of "oh for god's sake, I was meant to be joking" 😆
I love how she just *knew* what the reason it was created for would be. All the time I'm thinking "what? don't be ridiculous" and then he drops the bombshell and I'm barely believing it... then the picture shows up and I'm like "...okay, that's fucked up".
2:09
Caesarian, easy as popping out of the sunroof
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I prefer to call it a more apt name
Birth by medical disembowling
I love it how Sandy always makes these 'boy vs girl' remarks about History, *but she's always right*
About history, she's often right. Unfortunately she also applies it to the present where it's mostly wrong.
I've never seen her apply that mentality to modern times. What you on about?
That isnt a lie. Are you a man? if so, ask any woman whose worked customer service.
HugSkaltuDeila it isn't a wage gap. it's a salary gap. there is no wage gap
Easy to say it's debunked if the basis for those different aspects are unfair. Which they always are! Just one example: My sister got a lower raise than the others. Why? She had a baby (this is the reason, the boss told her). Having a baby makes you "less qualified" even if taking care of kids is your actual profession.
You can claim the income inequality is debunked, but not on a basis that is realistic. Because you can make anything you want a factor for being less productive or less qualified. Even things that actually should make your more qualified. Take a closer look what those "economists" thinks are aspects that qualificate or dequalificate you.
Jeremy's face at 3:49 kills me hahahaha
ladies, I am so glad we were born in this day and age!
Amen!
Because fake tan has been invented?
Marc Hofaman because you can get refined pseudonyms: Mercedes, as an example
BK : That's exactly why artificial wombs will never be a thing. But the way society is pushing for a war against the two genders. An artificial womb would be devastating to our species. A world without mothers would be terrible, just like the fatherless society feminists are pushing for.
BK : It won't happen. High Risk vs Low Reward. Take your high hat off and think about it. It'll be put in the same bucket as cloning.
Imagine Leatherface running around with one of those hand-cranked chainknives.
Edward Symphysiotomyhands?
Alex Holker Now I can't help but imagine the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a silent movie.
Texas Osteotome Massacre
As a woman that is far more terrifying😜😅
Much more environmentally friendly...
“I don’t know why you and I are having this conversation.”
No matter how many times I watch this clip it still makes me laugh :)
I know it seems barbaric to us today, but before medicine, arrest of labor essentially had a 100% mortality. So people were desperate. Even if the mother died the baby could survive if otherwise well. Women were mistreated for sure, but the things women did back in those days were so badass and heroic. And just like most real heroes they went completely unrecognized
Sandi saying, " I don't know why WE'RE having this conversation" lol
The moment Stephen realised he had found his successor
Posh✅️
Smart✅️
Gay✅️
Perfect
He has such an innocent view of heterosexual intercourse. I love it.
How gay men imagine straight sex: "Gaze lovingly into her eyes"
How straight men imagine straight sex: "Keep watching TV while grabbing your drink"
I love it
@@songbird7450 wait, Stephen is gay?
@@rachelcookie321yep. So is Sandi, hence the line "I don't know why you and I are having this conversation"
@@batnacks I know Sandi is but I didn’t know Stephen was. He’s one of the last people I would of guessed to be gay.
Once again, internal combustion engines saved lives by moving the focus away from women to trees.
@Black Rod ha!
Moxtrox , I still use my chainsaw exclusively on women’s vaginas.
Again?
Seriously? Dudes, it's the fucking 21st Century, and you're still making these tired 'jokes'?
Aiding the birth process saved lives too. Sandi only complained because she hates men.
They still exist as a chain. We use them to dismember dead in womb calves to save the mother cow's life. It is unpleasant, but when the calf is dead and mom is dying, someone has to reach in, wrap the chain, and do the work necessary to save the mom cow. As horrible as all this may sound, the other option in that day was death of mother and child due to incompatibility of pelvic size to baby size, so while it makes us all cringe, wanting anything but death can make necessitity a mother's intervention, heh.
+McGyver
Well, if people stopped breeding giant cows for food and instead, ate a little less meat, then the mom and calf would be fine ánd no-one would die of obesity.
Widdekuu91 not cow size, just normal large animal complications and disease or genetic fault can lead to in utero death.
+McGyver
Are you saying that people breeding the calfs bigger than the mom has nothing to do with it?
Widdekuu91 not on my farm.
+McGyver
Good. Compliments to you and your farm then.
Considering all the crazy shit ancient people stuck inside their orifices, chainsaw isn't that much of a leap.
xAquinasx a
It's always the Vagina. Every time someone discovers something new it's always "Hey, do you think this is dangerous?" "I don't know, how about we go find a vagina to shove it into and lets see what happens?"
Apparently the ancient Egyptians invented the vibrator...
It involved live bees.
@@PerovNigma NO. JUST NO.
@@jabloko992
This is what originally introduced bee to the concept:
_metro.co.uk/2017/06/14/violet-fenn-historical-sex-ancient-egyptians-goats-incest-bees-sex-toys-6651024/_
However, it might not bee real after all:

Not gonna lie, I’m a little disappointed to beed that such crazy shit might not have exbeested. Something that bananas beeserves to exist.
Sandi and Stephen is the ULTIMATE mlm/wlw solidarity!!
Your evening's nightmare fodder brought to you by QI
I think Clarkson might actually even be more horrified than Sandy
Sandy is like 'yep, same shit as always'
Stephen is so gay in the most innocent way possible. I adore him.
Aaaaand this is why Sandi was picked to take over from Stephen on this show. She’s clever, articulate, witty, likeable, brilliant choice.😁
You forgot the most important thing
Gay lol
@@ConstantChaos1 Nah, that's just a bonus :)
@@PurtyPurple (ik irs just funnier to pretend it's a prerequisite tho if it is I'm a knowledgeable queer person can I host next season?)
02:09 “Pop it out the sunroof” - as a C-section birth myself - I’ve being saying that phrase for years!
A friend of mine was a C-section birth. I keep reminding her yearly that she has never been born, she had just been removed. Like a tumor. She doesn't like that.
@@songbird7450 get her to read macbeth
I have a "chainsaw" like that in my hiking gear, its light and packs small and is incredibly useful for creating firewood out in the bush.
...as opposed to fumbling inside one.
Perhaps you could add part-time Obs & Gynae to your er... outback services? 😳
I love how at about the 1:40 mark you can see Jeremy isn't laughing in the slightest- I think he wished, for once, that he had been well off-mark!
Stephen's tie is amazing in this clip.
1:56 Not quite, this procedure is actually still used today albeit extremely rare when a C-section is too dangerous and as a "serious to God last resort if we don't do this there will be death" scenario
It's called a Gigli saw and it was used in neurosurgery also. The wires was very fine and were twisted.An osteotome is like a chisel with a both edges sharpened. Sometimes your fact checkers are out in left field.
I remember when Sandi was a guest.
Also, 1783 was a great year. Mozart wrote his great mass, King George recognised the independence of the American States.
amazing bit
3:49 Jeremy's face 😂
I love that the video immediately starts with the titular question.
I have this old hard cover book at home called 'The History of Surgery"
It is nightmare fuel.
If I lived back then, I would rather just die than get surgery, even IF it went well.
I literally held my wife's leg while she gave birth to our son. It was an incredible, beautiful experience no father should be denied. :-(
On the condition I can have a Lagavulin or three before hand! There's a lot of things I've seen but a live birth is one I don't think I wan't a close-up of, even if it is my wife having my child.
DareDemon666 - If you had asked me beforehand I probably would have said the same. But thankfully there was no discussion. I was sitting with her holding her hand through the contractions and suddenly the doc told me to hold her leg up. I didn’t have time to think about it being gross or bloody - it was all about the joy of being present for possibly the greatest moment of my life :)
I’m up for it but I suspect your wife would get a bit annoyed after the third or fourth time...
Aww that you talk about it like that is sweet.
From the U.S., never heard of this show. Trying to find it on Netflix or Amazon next thing.
James Buell its a bbc show. Been on for years. Great show. There are some good clips on youtube. The driving license and tortoise clips ring a bell - check them out.
Try Britbox -- some have written that we in the USA can find it with a subscription there.
Probably the best moment in QI I have ever seen hahahah 0:30 - 0:56
🤣😂😆The exasperated slamming down of the pen at 0:54 is the highlight.
You mean the spouting of man hating shit that we have to lap up with a smile on our face in fear of being called a 'misogynistic woman hater'
@@mg5347 Triggered much? lmfao Lighten up
3:52
The guy looks like he's on Land of the Giants on some Matchbox game show and the Giants toilet paper dispenser is behind his head
honestly, in a time without proper anatomical knowledge, this brutal procedure was likely safer than cutting open the abdomen. Only a matter of degrees of awfulness but still.
And there's Sandi dismissing it as "horrible boys thinking ladies take too long to give birth". The amount of good deeds men need to do before being acknowledged as anything above evil bastard is staggering. Saving the lives of women in labour? Nah, that's nothing to applaud, it's just a horrible impatient evil boy with a chainsaw.
Maybe I can't relate, being a bisexual, but I do think there are people in the world I can admire even though I wouldn't want to fuck them.
GLORIOUS Sandi!
One has to love sandy.. she's intelligent, funny and a great role model
Hanna Würfel The perfect Stephen replacement.
I miss fry
Nope. She's not funny.
The world will be a better place without feminism. Case in point, Duluth Model
She's a "femminist"! Literally the first thing she did was bring up gender...
For the Emperor's glorious Astartes.
My reply if asked what the chainsaw was originally invented for, would be "horror movies"
Eatboom i saw the title of the video and immediately thought circumsition and i fuckin' flipped when jeremy said it.
Eatboom I said *juggling!*
Well, I’m horrified as a uterus-haver
I thought about C-section as a joke. The one time I'm too disturbed to laugh at a QI clip.
how knowledgeable is this man
Fun fact: ostotomy is absolutely still performed, but now they use reciprocating saws. Or circular saws. Or rotary tools. They use power drills too. Really, it looks even *more* like carpentry these days. ;-)
Brings a whole new meaning to getting hammered, nailed, and er... screwed. 😳
I adore Sandi🥰🥳🥳
From the thumbnail, I thought the guy with the long hair was going to be James May, instead I got Clarkson, well enough.
What was the chainsaw invented for?
Hunting down college scantily clad students in Texas.
Zombies. Or scantily clad zombies.
I had Texas Chainsaw Massacre in mind too! hahahaha
The humor of my past and present relatives is great comfort for the soul. Yes I'm American from Irish and British descent.
Osteotomy wire (not unlike the original) is still used in orthopaedic surgery.
In 100 years, they will look back at our medicine in kind of the same way. Amazing, isn't it?
valar Unless we completely fill the world with resistant infections. Then we’re back to the 1800s as of medicine.
@@AMacProOwner Or 1960's Russia where they used bacteriophages instead of antibiotics.
Anyway it's always funny when there's sci-fi movies where they can travel in space faster than light, but somebody's in a wheelchair. People in the future aren't going to ever see them outside museums.
valar no, no they will not. Modern medicine is based in science. No one in 100 years is going to say look at that ridiculous M.R.I machine.
Pills...
@@danieldionne2037 well they might have a much simpler, smaller, faster, more efficient version. Making our looks archaic in comparison.
Seems like a cool show.
fun language fact: in swedish, Chainsaws is called Motorsåg, literal translation is Enginesaw or Motorsaw.
I would have loved it if he said "norow, it's a boy! Whoops not anymore!"
Stihlborn?
My god sandi does my head in 🙄
Best clip of Sandy ever. She's so smart hahaha
Ouch!
Jeremy Clarkson stopped himself from making a gay joke right at the start.
I didn't know that, I always believed it started as a chain mortiser.
“Chainsaw, innit.”
Huh, well that puts a whole different perspective on the ending of 'Bad Taste'.
well this took a turn
‘Proctology’ would be a funny answer to almost any question.
Women are incredible,since forever!
James May is looking well in this, Hammond seems to have turned into a woman
Weird when Sandi is a guest and doesn't know things. Almost as if Stephen possessed a Torch of Godly Omniscience and passed it to Sandi when she took over as host.
That's when the show went down hill.
what i'm learning here is that the Chainsaw Man vs. Childbirth Devil arc is going to be _extremely short_
That's why QI exists! XD
Isn't that the first Doctor's sonic screwdriver?
So, before they were used to cut down trees, chainsaws were used to cut through the bush? :-D
3:00 Ripper from Fallout 4 anyone?
Q: what was the chainsaw invented for?
A: for purging heretics in the name of the God Emperor!
This may be the first time I've ever agreed with a Communist.
I'm a man and I'm not religious but if I were a woman living before twentieth century, I would have become a nun to avoid the immensely painful and potentially fatal event known as childbirth.
And this is how Sandi got the gig lol
Is it just me or does that guy look like a cross between David Mitchell and Seth McFarland?
Yes, McFarland
"I don't know why you and I are having this conversation..."
One of the best things about our time is the nurotic habit of people washing their hands
half video in, I'm noping out of here
Med-Sin
Proctology. Lol, Clarkson. Though circumcision is overkill
The dangers of C-section is that they have to cut about and inch and a half into the body, the dangers with that are obvious. As it may not be as gruesome as a chainsaw birth but it certainly is a quick way to kill someone if an accident occurs.
Chainsaw "Rowrrrrr" it's a Bo... Whoops it's a Girl!
How did she know?
Sawing chains?
We really do live in the best of times......
they use a similar thing now for calves it's called a gigli saw hahaha
One of the more painful Qi segments
They did have anesthetics in the 1700's ----
its called Scotch Whiskey.
Look up symphysiotomy and Ireland. Warning: it's horrifying.
The hit to which you're probably referring isn't exactly nuanced, and there is another side to it. The truth is horrific enough, though.
...as if the church didn't already have enough to answer for in its history!!
S.137 No.5 was* all of that archaic bullshit has been rightly condemned in the last 2 decades in Ireland, our last two referendums show how far the country has progressed, still need to fully separate church and state however
As bad as the Magdalene laundries?
Thanks for phrasing that in a way that guaranteed i would look it up. And it was all horrifying.
I'm extremely confused about the precise way they're cutting in this procedure but I'm far too squeamish to look it up.
I assume it's done inside the dilated vagina, to widen the circle inside the pelvis if it's preventing the baby's exit.
Cutting?
They say that C-Sections were not practised in the 1700s whenever the chain saw was invented. But in Macbeth, Macduff is said to be born by caesarean and Macbeth was written in 1606 so Shakespeare must have known about it
Btw I’m terrible at and hate both history and English literature so sorry. We do Macbeth in school so it just made me think
