For the number of pure joke answers Jimmy gives, there's a shockingly low number of klaxxons I can recall him triggering. At the very least I know they've trapped Jo a few times.
Generally, the klaxon is sounded only on wrong answers that were anticipated. That is why the screens come up so quickly--because they were written before the show began (this may not always apply when David Mitchell is on). Obviously, Carr's answers were not expected.
Nancy Reimer Jimmy will almost always buzz in to give a clearly prepared line (which is why I believe he’s the person who is allowed to see the questions beforehand) but the database of jokes he carries around is extensive enough that it’s still tough to predict what he’s going to say. He may even spend the hours beforehand writing some new ones.
I mean, there is a clip of Stephen explaining why he killed a child his own rabbit after he had shot it, hit it with his car and attacked by his dog. It's a clip from Blackadder but still
'Rabbit starvation' is no laughing matter. But you can suffer the same fate by eating nothing but frogs, and 'Ribbit Starvation' is friggin' hilarious!
In the Netherlands there is a christmas song about a dad killing his son's rabbit for christmas dinner. At the end of the song the kid might have killed the dad for it. Rabbit was called Flappie. The kids killing their parents joke made me think of this song 😂
To be clear, do you die of starvation or do you die of malnutrition because rabbit doesn't contain all the nutrients we need? If it's the former, that's surprising. If it's the latter, surely that's true of most foods: if you ate nothing but bread or nothing but carrots you'd become malnourished too.
Related, there was a girl who ate chicken nuggets almost exclusively for 15 years. She wasn't deficient in much apparently, but was getting way too much salt and fat. www.cbsnews.com/news/british-teen-stacey-irvine-hospitalized-after-eating-nothing-but-chicken-nuggets-for-15-years/ You can also survive on a diet of mostly potatoes. www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2828/could-i-survive-on-nothing-but-potatoes-and-milk/
@@WilliamAndrea Yeah, one of the big problems with rabbit is that it has almost no fat and a certain amount of lipids are necessary for the body to absorb nutrients. Fatty fish is an effective way to counteract rabbit starvation and at the time of the HBC the populations of Atlantic Salmon in the area would have been pretty high, so the solution was right under their noses the whole time.
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi That's why it's called "Rabbit Starvation" and has its own article on Wikipedia. In short, you're using more energy to digest the food than what you would gain from it because rabbit meat is too lean (not enough fat or oils). You need to supplement it with other foods to get a nutritional net gain from it.

I believe Christopher McCandless, the young adult who wandered off into the Alaskan wilderness to try to live off the land and was posthumously the subject of the book and film "Into the Wild", suffered the same type of malnutrition, which weakened him severely. Though I believe poisonous berries were what did him in ultimately.
SpikeFlea the toxicity was probably increased in Alexander Supertramp’s body by his previous malnutrition. He was an extraordinarily naive young man, though he didn’t deserve to die for it
He was an interesting fellow. My brother knew him somewhat. They used to talk at cross country races in high school. He was apparently very driven to do something interesting with his life. Made a few bad choices, but we all do. I know that I have. Been lucky with some of them.
I specifically clicked on the video because I wanted to hear Stephen repeatedly explain the premise over and over and over, but the video ended just as it was starting.
Agreed. Why not include the callbacks, it's the best part? As I recall they drive Stephen crazy by not letting go of their misunderstanding that rabbits are poisonous.
This is interesting but the call backs to the rabbit fact are brilliant. The panelists keep talking about eating rabbit killing you and see Stephen’s frustration that they are ignoring the fact that it is only when you eat rabbit and nothing else that causes death by severe malnutrition, so they keep saying it to wind him up.
B. Hagedash No, that will be because the Welsh eat other things with the rabbit. As Stephen said, all they needed to eat was a tiny amount of vegetables and they would have been fine.
Wouldn't trappers of the past have eaten more of the rabbit than today? And the organs would have vitamins? Ie. The traditional Inuit diet had almost no fruits and vegetables, and vitamins were in the livers of some arctic animal I can't remember...
I'm guessing that if you ate the organ meat, you would get a lot of the things the otherwise lean rabbit meat is deficient in. Particularly the liver and brain are fairly high in fat and the fat soluble vitamins.
Radical.Compounds White men have shown in the past to be remarkably wasteful when food is abundant. Early American colonialists would kill a whole bison and eat only the tongue.
Stephen explains it pretty badly, though the answer is right. The problem with eating rabbit exclusively isn't that you use more vitamins and minerals to digest than you get out of them. The problem with rabbits is that they are very lean, contain almost no fat which is the main energy source for the human body. So you'd literally die of hunger because the rabbit doesn't give you any energy and you'd waste away because you need some, even if only for keeping your heart going..
Well no, fat contains more calories than carbohydrates and proteins, but the main source of energy are carbohydrates. Pretty much pointless, just pure energy which may or may not be needed, but it is our main source of energy. And if I recall correctly, proteins and carbs contain the same amount of calories per gram, meaning that eating nothing but rabbit might be the same as eating nothing but potatoes or bread or something. Fat does however contain a lot of vitamins and what not. I'm not a 100% certain but I'm pretty sure about this, so I think you'd be fine just eating rabbits and vegetables or taking vitamin and mineral supplements.
No, the problem is that your liver can't process all the protein the rabbit is giving you, since it's so lean. Also your blood will overload on ammonia and kill you.
@John Smith ketones are not a form of energy. It is a toxic byproduct of digesting fat when your blood sugar is low. It will leave your body through urine and breath. The brain needs glucose and nothing but glucose. The statement "ketones are a better form of energy" is as false as it gets. It's not dangerous to build up a little ketone on your blood if your body is working as expected, but diabetics for example run the risk of death through excessive buildup when they run low on insulin and can't get sugar from their blood into the cells.
My favorite bit from this episode is Johnny's absolutely insane "There's an elephant in this question" moment. "The short answer is no. The long answer is F*** no."
"I'm very sorry your father killed your rabbit." "No you're not, I can tell!" "Well why are you getting upset at me, I'm not your father!" *"Oh now you're just twisting the knife!"*
I'll be honest: I thought it eventually gave you a fatal dose of vitamin A. Never mind. But... But does the problem still affect people who eat the WHOLE rabbit (skin, bones, offal, etc), or just those who only eat the lean meat?
@@kisbie, I'm assuming you tagged the wrong person in your reply, that was a pretty funny clip and fair enough, it's hard to read tone on the internet and I thought you were being serious 😄 Just the more I learn about science and nature, the more I become irked by the fallacious notion that our species is somehow "special" or "superior".

pixel girl Johnny’s bit about how if you own a cat, you eventually end up living in their house (from the M-series Christmas episode, Stephen Fry’s final show) had me crying and hyperventilating with laughter. He’s one of the all-time comedy legends.
For the number of pure joke answers Jimmy gives, there's a shockingly low number of klaxxons I can recall him triggering. At the very least I know they've trapped Jo a few times.
That's because Jo is a bit more predictable. Not saying she isn't funny, but she does a lot of "I'm a fat git with a lazy husband" jokes on the show.
You can tell a lot of times Jo purposefully gives a klaxxon answer just to get it out of the way.

They have caught him out for making jokes. He once set off the klaxon for naming Piers Morgan as a poisonous snake

I thought it was because the body needs both protein and fat to function and wild rabbits have protien but no fat at all?
You need vitamin C, B complex as well as lipids.
You'd get much more of what you need, including enough fat, if you ate the organs and bone marrow of rabbit, and not just the meat.
One would think with nothing but rabbit, that one develops.... a habit
Dog liver has toxic levels- for humans- of vitamin A. I was expecting something similar here.
Same with Polar Bears, you only need to eat a gram of their liver to begin getting symptoms of vitamin A toxicity.
@@Dalemoooooon Now you tell me. That's tonight's dinner in the bin then ...
I’m pretty sure me eating the Polar Bear is not the problem I should be worried about. Maybe if I’m lucky my liver will kill the Polar Bear.
I reckon it depends on where the rabbits come from, the Welsh seem to suffer no ill effects.
B. Hagedash No, that will be because the Welsh eat other things with the rabbit. As Stephen said, all they needed to eat was a tiny amount of vegetables and they would have been fine.
That's because their rabbits are made out of cheddar.
