This clip is from QI Series A, Episode 2, 'Astronomy' with Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Bill Bailey, Rich Hall and Jeremy Hardy.
I love Rich Hall and wish he was on the show again
genius, the etymology of allegation
@gridsleep He'd never have said that about sharks and the environment if he'd ever dared face off with the fearsom boxing octopus.
But useful to know about Alligators being highly litigenous.
That's why hammerheads evolved, they're specifically designed to whack other sharks in the face.
Dolphins! They bop them with their boopers!
@@aaronchang9317 Right in the gills
😂😂😂
@@aaronchang9317 They would nut them to death
@@elaineb7065 POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!
Actually, QI says the best place to punch a shark is in the eyes or the gills
Certainly the nose would not be a wise thing to aim for as you could so easily end up with your hand in its mouth....
Gouge at its gills, punching is useless under water
@@jennyjohn704 Boy would my face be red!
Apparently the English version of Crocodile Hunter, "Alligator Annoyer" ran at 2 am every third Sunday on ITV3
Drunk, if Florida is any guide.
Fight me! 😂
Genius
Rich Hall is the epitome of droll comedy genius!
May I suggest that the way you fight an alligator is with a tactical retreat?
"All you would have to do." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Ah the late great Jeremy Hardy RIP
I would have actually picked the handbag, though for exactly the same purpose. I feel like one that's big enough to fit over its snout would be a little more secure than a rubber band
I thought why not show the alligator the handbag and tell them "this will be you when you come nearer"
@@derorje2035 my first thought too. Point to it and yell "You're next!"
American guy looks like Moe Szyslak the bartender from The Simpsons XD
I'd never noticed that before, but you're absolutely right 😅
"There's no stout punching fish."
First of all, there's no such thing as fish.
Second, look up the mantis shrimp.
Oh yes, the Peacock Mantis Shrimp! Complete with punching “arm/leg”! I’ve seen footage of these twice in the past week - what an amazing animal!
QI had a fact about the mantis shrimp and its record-setting punches too, at one point. Seems like every thing know comes from this show.
I was going to mention the mantis shrimp, but you beat me to the punch.
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband *bird*
You've never heard a sound Like the rubberband *bird* You're bound to lose control When the rubberband starts to jam
We're here all week spinning... unless a 'gator turns up.
Johnny Horton once sang about how U.S. fighters under Col. Andrew Jackson used an alligator in the Battle of New Orleans.
I wanna make my band name Stout Punching Fish.
There is, however, a stoutly punching crustacean, the mantis shrimp.
Sure that's why crocs catches use 20 feet of strong tape wrapped around and around to secure the jaws , they do this obviously because they have forgotten to bring a rubber band with them...
RIP Jeremy Hardy
Usually while clothed, but hey I don't judge
Halfway up a tree 50 metres away, with a .50 calibre machine gun....
Actually QI went over this in an episode: best place to punch a shark is in the eye. ;)
Crocs instinctively roll when they've caught something, so throw the end of rope at one and it will probably tie its own jaws shut and starve to death.
Its also very hard for a human to create adequate punching force underwater. If you’re in a boat punching down on a shark in the water its very easy. Underwater and possible deprived of oxygen its a whole other fight
F: Elephant Gun
Ow nooo, they are back at the old Sandi :(
I miss stephen
There are no fish or birds running around with the rubber band to surprise an alligator 🤣🤣
I so want there to be a Rubber Band Bird in the Everglades...
more episodes with Stephen Fry please. he had a good chemistry with Alan Davis. when qi was fun
We are amused✌🇦🇺
I miller an alligator once.
Gator repellent spray.
Octopii are known to punch fish for both fun and hunting. Those sharks better beware.
Eh, that's more of a "latch on to" thing. Peacock Mantis Shrimps have quite the punch, but also weight class difference.
Dolphins headbutt sharks to death.
I've seen a cat smack an alligator, not sure if I am just a weak excuse of a being or don't have the right timing.
What is this, scold-roulette?
Allegations have been made, and I intend to find the allegator.
I heard about this some years ago, and I still think it's bollocks. Good luck not getting bitten while trying to surround the rubber on its mouth... I think it's way smarter to run away 🤷♀️
I dont know about the american aligator, but you cannot outrun an australian saltwater crocodile, they're faster than they look
I think the idea is that you sort of just.. sit on its back and push its head down into the ground so it can't wiggle or open it's jaw and *then* try to tie the band around it.
But at that point, why bother with the band.
They are pretty fast. But luckily only for a short burst. So if you have some distance, keep it!
@@Magmafrost13 My favourite BBC headline of all time is "Drunk Australian rides crocodile". I mean, they could leave out the word "drunk" there, it's already implied by the word "Australian". Greetings from across the ditch, and happy Anzac Day. Lest we forget 😅🇳🇿🇭🇲
What to do about that tail though?
Yea so with closing the jaws shut you have saved yourself from one of the ways the croc can kill humas, waht about thise paws and bloody tail and the fact they run way faster than hoomans.
I would have chosen the rifle.
A great panel of guests. Funny and intelligent. Sometimes, now, they just have comedians on, who have very few brain cells between them.
Fight an alligator? With a rifle...from WAY over there...
Only one way to fight an alligator, SUCCESSFULLY!
Yah put a rubber band on its mouth, good luck with that 😂
Rubberband
How would I fight? By proxy.
Reupload :/
I am early but i don't know what to type!
I think it's safer to challenge the alligator to a footrace and run for your life
Unless you're Usain Bolt, that's a good way to end up as a tasty snack for an alligator. They can run at up to 20 mph.
@@almostfm Maybe I just have to outrun you :)
F. a cat
Punch a Shark on the nose? 🙄 Thought it was common knowledge, they paralyze when turned upside down.
Show me.
while the nose thing is bs, I'll be sure to remember to flip that 6m long 2 tonne great white the next time it looks at me funny...
The Brits in the show are trying so hard to laugh at lame American jokes.
You should fight alligators from a great distance, with a sniper rifle.
"There is no Stout-Punching fish that roams the ocean"
That we know of...!
i'd like to see the fish that has evovled one arm on its side just for punching sharks.
Troutdor the Swiminator
The mantis shrimp has a mighty punch.
Good to see the late, great Jeremy Hardy👍
Yes Jeremy and the late great Linda Smith were in very few episodes
I love the point he makes about how in their environment, there's nothing that punches sharks on the nose or slips rubber bands around the mouth of a gator. I'm not sure that shark thing is actually true, but the point stands that these seemingly simple things are a problem that simply doesn't exist in the context of these predators' natural environments.
You are actually supposed to hit them in the eye. They talked about it in a later episode. I haven't tried it myself
@@rasmusfabernrgaard6461 Or for the gills
"how should you fight an alligator"? No, the question is why
Missing Jeremy Hardy all over again. What a treasure. Rest in peace.
Especially on News Quiz.
The scariest thing about gators is they can run as fast as a horse for a very short time.
Hey, you’ve reverted back to the previous closing with Sandi asking us to pick something!
It seems like Stephen's sense of humour deserted him a bit and gave way to exasperation in this clip - it makes me wonder what on earth was edited out. 🤣🤣
There's no stout punching fish or rubberband birds? Checkmate, atheists!
love rich hall..miss jeremy hardy...
Rich Hall is brilliant
damn it. volume control
I would use my mom's way which she uses on me..... Crocs
Jab a pencil in their eyes. There's one in the handbag...
They are totally docile if you close their eyes.
I like Sandi pestering me to pick something at the end always makes me smile
A allegation, is a alligators vacation.
Not.. is the correct answer
I assume the usual way to do this is to have one person hold the jaws shut while another person puts the rubber band on, but I have seen people handle smaller alligators this way on their own (with duct tape though, or electrical tape, not rubber bands). You can hold the jaws shut with one hand and put the tape on with the other. It's surprisingly effective for people who know what they're doing.
No doubt, people who don't know what they're doing try this and get their hand bitten off from time to time.
Even with a larger alligator, if you can get on their back and grab their snouts then what you do is pull their head up to your chest and lock the snout shut between chin and chest. Then you've got two hands free to tie a rope or wrap duct tape, or whatever you choose to subdue your innocent victim with. Using rubber bands if you're alone would be a bit tricky, though.
Dolphins whack Sharks on the nose, clever buggers.
Straighten one end of the paper-clip, then poke the gator in its eye/s!
if I had an aquarium I'd get one of those arctic punching fish that's all the rage these days
I don't think that's true about punching a shark on the nose.
according to Andy Hamilton, hitting them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper works with alligators, but if you try that with a crocodile, you've fked
And don't bother hitting a shark with a rolled newspaper. That won't work.
I think you'll find that the rubber band will not "defend against" an alligator as you will have to subdue it first. Thus, I'll take the handbag and try to get it to bite that. And then run.
Well please come on, pick something.
