Bonus Round showcases the funniest, craziest and whackiest moments from Games Shows from around the world
The fact that Stephen just had a pipe and tobacco sitting by the door completely fits
Sandy asked, “What would you do if you found found two thousand skeletons in your closet?” And RUclips’s algorithm cut in right there with a commercial that started with, “Celebrate the occasion…”

Happy little accidents.
The shark item - my friend's little boy was telling his mum that he wanted to go sailing in the deep sea, in a little boat. Going along with him she said "but what would we do if there was a shark?". His reply "It would be ok, we'd hear the music before it comes."
David vs Klaxon needs it's own compilation videos.
I'm kind of impressed after all that time they have *not* preprogrammed "Mitchell is a c..." as he himself proposed.
Seems like a neat trick to get the price of a house you want lowered, start a whispering campaign about it being haunted
"Hello, Zak Bagans? I hear you like pretending things are haunted on TV..."
Around 8:50 with Mitchell testing the producers is probably my favourite single moment from QI
Mitchell vs “the box” is my new favourite QI Easter egg
A friend of mine of Navajo descent told me that her family does believe dinosaur fossils have spirit (just as any other part of nature) and that disturbing their skeletons to put into museums without proper rituals of respect will cause unrest to the spirit. While I don't personally believe in ghosts I do prefer beliefs where it is all or nothing, either all life has a soul, or no life has a soul, nothing unique enough in our bodies to make ourselves better than the rest of nature.
They talk about the value being reduced on a house being haunted but I remember after my mom passed I was selling the family house and one potential buyer wanted to know if anyone had died in the house.
And it isn't just an American thing as I live in Canada.
Its not even a north america things as statistically as many britts believe in ghosts (1/3-1/4). But I think a person having died in a house is a little creepy even if you don't believe they might still be there :)
The silent shark clip was actually more terrifying to me than the one with ominous music.
"What's so scary about this...?" That would depend on the individual, regardless of the music. I'm with David on this, it's the teeth.
They are terrifying with the silence and happier music. Not just that but also the proximity. It is true a lot less people die from shark attacks. I feel people probably spend a lot more time on average near livestock than they do sharks. Fear of the unknown is somewhat greater than that of the known!
It was the camera going into the throat that did it for me personally. I genuinely had to look away from the screen.
It may seem silly to many but it's always stuck with me that my RE teacher back in school who was very knowledgeable and interesting believed in ghosts himself, and was convinced he'd seen one with his own eyes
He taught RE . Not too shocking really.
@@paulallen7366 aye true enough
Yeah, it's real weird but I know two people that have told me that their relative came to see them in their bedroom, saying bye and stuff. Turned out the next morning that the relative had died in their sleep... not saying that its ghosts, but it is odd that it happened on two occasions to different peeps.
I’m glad he didn’t see them with someone else’s eyes!
@@smoothie9931 there is probably some sort of energy thing we just don’t know about yet. Only a few years ago electric ⚡️ stuff was “magic”.
Although - like Stephen - I don't believe in ghosts, I can't help feeling that the perception that a house is haunted would *raise* the value in England.
In the US too, actually.... I know a lot of people that would pay more if they thought a haunting was included
@@christopherbartko6042 there’s definitely people who’d pay more for such a house. But they’re probably far outweighed by the number of people who’d feel creeped out, so on average the value would drop.
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated, I know, but that's where MARKETING comes in! XD Gotta find the right market for your haunted products. ;D

I was kayaking and a shark swam under me and I have never before known what it feels like to be petrified. not a string instrument in sight! imagine if I'd also been playing ominous music! I quite like the jaws theme, it does take that silent but swift moving dead eyed, muscular, aggressive razor-sharp toothed predator to truely loosen my bowels.
They are not aggressive per say, If it was you;d not be here to tell your tale..they are clincial if they are in need of food, this is not their fault. Sharks are quite placid.
I was bitten by a shark once…. It was small and left no permanent damage but they did find it, match it to the bite mark, and killed it. I was quite sad when they told me they killed it. I was 12 in Hawaii.
As someone who just sold a house in New York State, I can confirm that one of the thing you have to disclose is whether the house is known to be haunted. So you declare any knowledge of rot, damp, mold, asbestos, lead, radon and ghosts.
My high school teacher, possibly Australia's last pipe smoker, set fire to his pocket mid-class. For once, as he started to smoulder, he had our undivided attention and didn'tseem to notice the smoke. Eventually, someone piped up, just before the actual flames appeared.
Someone piped up ? Making your teacher possibly the penultimate pipe smoker in Australia. ;)
It's definitely the teeth
I'll always remember one time I was teaching English to a Japanese woman and we were talking about ghosts, and she believed in them. I said the same as Izzard, that there should be millions of years' worth of ghosts, caveman ghosts, etc. She immediately agreed with me and abandoned her belief in ghosts! I then told her my wife's theory that people die, spend some time as a ghost, and then finally go on to heaven or wherever. She again agreed and said she now believed in ghosts again. This was in the space of a couple of minutes...
People who believe in ghosts tend to be very open-minded, I think. Great creative thinkers, spiritual, high empathy levels, but, also quite susceptible to changing perspective very quickly. It could also be that she was just being polite though. In Japanese culture, I think it's considered very rude to 'disagree' in public company and especially with guests or people of senior rank.
@@buffster948 Being open to an idea an starting to believe in it without thinking about is not open minded, it is being extremely gullible.
@@TheBod76 That's true. I guess my main point is that sometimes, people may tell a 'white lie' to save face - they haven't changed their opinion, they just don't want to offend their guest. I suppose that would look the same as 'gullible' - just a different internal motive. I don't know much about Japanese culture but that certainly happens in quite a few cultures around the world.
@@buffster948 Yes, generally a Japanese person will refrain from expressing their true thoughts or beliefs to a superior or a group, especially if they disagree. There's a concept called 建前 vs 本音 which is "what you build in front" vs your "true sound" i.e. what you actually think.
@@aloysiusdevadanderabercrombie8 Gosh, that is profound. I think in English we would say that is "keeping face" or "keeping up appearances" - so, denying the true heart to protect public honour and those we love, respect and admire.
When I was like 6 or 7 years old I grew up in a house and I am not lying when I say that my neighbours had commented to my Mum and Dad that they "Heard the baby crying" and my Mum and Dad responded with "We don't have a baby!" and they were convinced they heard a baby. On the same note in the same house I remember one night very vividly waking up and needing to go to the loo but something scared me and I didn't go, then I saw a hand, it was a bony hand with gold bracelets beckoning me towards it. I never went and I have sworn I saw it, I have never forgotten it, I will never ever forget that moment in my entire life. Not a single moment of that night has ever left my mind and I am now 33 years old and I still to this day hold that this happened. I was the subject of an otherworldly encounter.
Buzz how ever many time you want QI! It's the damn teeth!
I’d be willing to pay more for a haunted house, as long as I could prove it was haunted.
Yep.
You're thinking smart.
"What would you do if you found two thousand skeletons in your closet?”
"What the f... Where's the rest of them?!"

So hypothetically speaking, if we rounded up 100 volunteers for a social experiment, and made them each spend an hour treading water In a swimming pool full of medium to average sized dairy cows while blasting the jaws soundtrack, and then had the same 100 test subjects each wake up at 6am the following day to extract Breastmilk from heavily pregnant great whites while they distractedly feast on chum buckets overflowing with sea-lion carcasses to the soundtrack of Baby Shark do doo do dooo do doo playing faintly in the distance. They would understandably come to the conclusion that sharks are in fact adorable and much less frightening than attempting to escape a swimming pool filled with mad cows… despite sharks having absolutely no tiddies, or milk 🥛 yeet
David Mitchell cracks me up!
These dudes are all so adorable and funny....must be a blast to have a 🍺 beer(pint?) With them.laugh till ya pee a "wee" bit,I'll betcha.✌️
You don't have to say 'pee a wee"

What I want to know is what happened to all the dinosaur ghosts.
The dinosaurs had no unfinished business so there was no need for any of them to hang around earth.
a cow more likely to do you in than a shark? this brings a hole new meaning to barts catchphrase 'don't have a cow, man" he knew something we didnt.
Be entertained and learn at the same time! British TV at its finest.
Not that I believe in ghosts, but I am pretty sure the myth implies it is spirit that continued after death, and that cows and such don't have spirits.
Why wouldn't they though? And even if Animals don't but we somehow do have spirits or souls, when in the evolutionary process did we get them? Or should we just throw evolution out the window while we're at it? XD
BTW, I'm not arguing against you or anything, just emphasizing how silly the whole ghost thing is...
@@zwenkwiel816 are you using science in a discussion about ghosts?
That's speciesism. Level of intelligence doesn't make one animal more special than another. It's a trait you have, no different to running fast or jumping high. Evolution has no will. It's not trying to make other animals more human-like. Humans aren't some end-goal of evolution. Snakes aren't less evolved than humans because they have no limbs. It's not a disadvantage for snakes to have no limbs, it's an advantage for them, that's why they specifically evolved to be like that. Evolution isn't like climbing the rungs of a ladder, going from one species and class to the next in a set pattern. You evolve relative to your needs in order to reproduce. All life is equally evolved.
"A slug is as evolved as us. A slug got it right." - Ricky Gervais
Higher intelligence doesn't make you inherently better at all, and saying that totally disregards how stupid and evil humans are. It's nonsensical. That's anthropocentrism. You're projecting human traits and desires onto other life. You can't do that. They're not human, they're not supposed to have human-level intelligence. That's not something they desire or are working on. Humans aren't some standard-bearer for life, to which all other living things are compared. If an alien species arrives that is more intelligent than we are, those who your intelligence as the decider of value would move the goalposts for what it means to be more special. They say it not because it's true, but because it currently benefits them.
@@zwenkwiel816 It's not a case of "humans and animals". There's no distinction. Humans are animals. Humans are nature. Having human-level intelligence doesn't somehow stop you being an animal. That makes no sense whatsoever. It's specifically because you're an animal that you can have human-level intelligence. It is a trait of animals because an animal has it: humans.
Everything humans do is by definition animalistic, because humans are animals. And being an animal isn't an insult. It's awesome, and it's what lets you be you.
"Animal abuse" and "animal rights" include humans. Humans aren’t oh so special that they get their own distinction, whilst every other animal gets lumped in together. Humans are animals, and other animals should be treated with the same kindness, respect, and love that humans should be.
Souls didn't evolve. They're not a genetic trait.
@@Ranger1812 yeah that's kind of my point. like people who claim we do have souls usually say animals don't have them. (like if I'm not mistaken most major religions basically believe this)so I ask them: "at what point during our evolution did we suddenly get a soul?" it's like a rhetorical question, I don't really expect an answer it's just to show the logical fallacy in their thinking...
Here's a fun fact, while you're alive, your skeleton will always be wet.
This made me uncomfortable for reasons I can't explain
You forgot Burial at Sea
@@Jezidka clever but he never said it had to be dry when you died. Just that while you're alive it's definitely wet all the time
That's not entirely accurate: amputations - only *some* of your skeleton *must* be wet.
@@shanobian I'm with you on this one…
The cold air felt in the presence of a ghost is a ghost fart.
Minga! they have the same ceremony is most of the UK!
We had spooky things happen in the house I grew up in !
If they’re just moving houses like that I’m pretty sure the wind could to. Dunno if I’d be keen on a house we no fountains
It seems really weird to me that people’d be less likely to help in the conservation of creatures they “distrust”. I can’t say _I_ particularly trust sharks, if I was swimming and saw one I’d be trying to get out of the water just in case, and certainly wouldn’t trustingly offer it my hand like I would a cat or a dog, but it doesn’t mean I bear them any ill will or want to see them go extinct. I might be more inclined to support conservation of animals I found cute, I can see that bias, but I don’t care less about sharks than… trout, or prawns.
My thoughts exactly
Well, I do love nearly all creatures, except the ones that repulses me... Thus I don't support any human conservations.

If ghosts existed, the sheer amount of ectoplasm to be expelled by chicken ghosts in America would be staggering. I mean New Jersey is slimy, particularly Newark but even then I don't think it's enough to account for all dead chickens.
Maybe soaking them in chlorine dispels the ectoplasm ?
scariest thing about the shark? The dental bill!
What do ghosts dress up as on Halloween?
Have my eye on a house that backs up to a cemetery. With the grand lawn spreading out so far and wide, the cemetery is pastoral and will likely remain so in perpetuity. And that perpetual pastorality is likely to remain undisturbed forevermore.
The story is real even though crept in a couple of puns, one lazy alliteration, and a lyric from an old TV theme song.
If you're on the proverbial fence about ghosts etc,.. watch any of Nuke's Top 5 latest videos (3yrs from 2021-2024). Brilliant stuff, whether you believe or not.
Haunted or not, I love a creaky house.
You put that music with a kitten playing with a ball of string...not scary. You put that shark with no music...scary. The music may enhance the fear slightly but it is most definitely not the scariest thing on the screen. It's the shark.
Must be confusing for the postman to deliver to a house that moves, ey?
A Realtor/seller has to disclose if a murder/crime was committed .
Those poor cows
Interesting fact: Sweden's public service loves animal documentaries, but hated when you put music to it. Beethovens fifth as a lion got its prey would never have been bought and shown on television. We had the magnificent Jan Lindblad, who told the photographer to keep filming as he was being (almost) killed by an anaconda.
He also made a record where he whistled famous songs. And he also helped my wife unto a bus when she was a wee girl when my, now, mother-in-law, was carriying a shitload of groceries. A very nice man he was, and he always appoligized when his tigers showed up at his neighbours' house.
What I've said is perfectly true, even though you might not believe it. Try to google before you spit acid my face.
Tigers aren't pet animals, they're slaves.
The skeleton images are from Bavaria :)
I wouldn't buy what would be advertised as a haunted house for the same reason that I wouldn't buy a home where someone was murdered. Not because I believe in the supernatural, but there are homes like this where tourists want to visit and be a bother. Kind of like the house from Breaking Bad where people throw pizzas on and the owners are annoyed.
I think part of the whole dropped housing price is because nearly every house in the U.S. less than 400 years old we as Americans haven't quite gotten used to the idea people dying in the house that we're looking to buy
Never mind doors, I thought it was the sun that's not there.
back before eddie lost his sanity
That shark vs cattle statistic is probably a bit of false equivalence. The farming industry in the UK is enormous compared to the amount of people actively swimming with sharks.
Not saying they don't have a bad rep, mind you.
It has an HOA
Now I know how to make a house more affordable in the US! Spread a few rumors.....
Don't let the real estate moguls find out, they'll start doing that and snatching them up more than they already do
With some people a haunted house becomes more desirable
Repeat clip...done n all before 👍
Let's be real: There are more ghosts in Great Britain than in America!
Not true, since there a no ghosts in either.
@@1183newman And you know that how?
The large Hadron Collider would have found them which it didn't.
@@1183newman 1) The LHC wasn't looking for ghosts.
2) Why do you assume it would have found them if it was looking for them? It didn't find any evidence for elephants either, doesn't meant they don't exist! Seriously though, perhaps ghosts are made of something not detectable by a hadron collider, not everything is amenable to scientific proof.
That shark ate Alan Davies. Or tried
Nah, he's just singing him a song
@@al145 nope. He only answers to blue whales!
1:04. Talking of dinosaur ghosts, I read a theory once that the Loch Ness Monster could be the ghost of a plesiosaur.
I must say though, I am somewhat disappointed in Stephen utterly refusing to accept even the possibility of ghosts being real. I am far from convinced myself, but I'm open minded enough to admit the possibility.
Fry was great in this
If we lived in the sea, a shark would be more likely to do you in than a cow, it's a stupid comparison 😂 at least compare it to another sea creature
I always wanted to have a Disney haunted house. I love the lift in the hallway.
If you believe that we have a soul, of course there are ghosts; ghosts are simply people without a body
Haha David Mitchel really hates the people in the box
The comment that O.J.Simpson living in a house would decrease the value of a house was, sadly, wrong.Him having lived there would increase the value, tremendously. What does that say about people?
Still think I'd rather pet a cow than pet a shark.
Why is it that only people that believe in ghosts that actually see them? I've never met a total sceptic that has seen one.
"Sharks aren't actually that dangerous."
Tell that to the crew of the USS Indianapolis.
Lol. Cute.
👻🐄 mOooOOOooOo 🐄👻
Stephen Fry does look like a pipe smoker doesn't he?
Ghosts are presumably understood to be souls of the dead. If you're accepting the existence of ghosts for argument sake, why would you just assume that the ghost believer you're arguing against also believes that cows have souls. I don't think that's likely, let alone a given. Surely the ghost believer would just say that there's no cow ghosts because cows don't have the requisite souls to become ghosts.
Sharks are still terrifying without the music!
It isn't scary. I love to see it.
Alan and his noises that go on for too long.
Love how Stephen calls ghosts nonsense, while a lot of the Brit economy rests on places being haunted!
What's your point?
It's always nice to meet an amiable pipe smoker ...
So is Stephen saying that only Americans believe in ghosts? Another reason to laugh at them.
How is that remotely true? What is true, tho, is that more Brits than Americans believe the moon landing was a hoax.
I mean, I don't know the ratio, but I guarantee there's a good amount of people that believe in ghosts over here. We certainly have the history to warrant it, but without evidence I'd have to guess there's an overlap between very religious people and those who believe in ghosts/hauntings.
I think plenty of people believe in ghosts, on both sides of the pond. But I think they just found it amusing that house prices would be lowered because of the belief in them. Whereas over here we have buildings that are 100, 200, 300+ years old, therefore if ghosts actually did exist there would be centuries worth of them in our homes 🤣 And the house prices would never go down because of it! 😁
Hi
Hullo
Sorry, but I don't speak to people I don't know.
@@waynemarvin5661 good policy...stranger danger👏👊
If you're frightened of ghosts, why would you buy a house with one? the the lower price won't get rid of it. 😆 ... it's just a con to get a cheaper price
I don't believe in ghosts. Dead is dead.
So look for a house for sale you want, put out the rumour its houbted and get a third off the price
Did you have to bring us Americans into it
The shift from Fry and comedians to Toksvig and Ryan was a bit of a shock. We went from funny to really unfunny quite quickly.
I always get annoyed about that "More [innocuous ways to die] kill more than sharks" comment. We don't live in the ocean! Of course it won't kill as much. I agree, they're not AS dangerous as made out to be but it's like me saying polar bears aren't very dangerous to humans.. Sure, until you show up on a block of ice wearing a North Face coat trying to ake a selfie.
Ah yes,.... The automatic EUROPEAN explanations of us Americans,..... Mentioning two places super far from each other, but alas their right beside each other,........ Don't get me wrong, I watch more QI than I think most Americans,.....as a matter of fact it's my favorite next to "Would I Lie to You?" but come on fellers and ladies, we're not ALL a bunch of frickin' IDIOTS,....... (By the way, this is easily the best show EVER made'!!!!)
My uncle smoke a pipe
Forgot how unfunny eddy izzard is.
Anyone else think Alan is just boring
Although I don't believe in ghosts myself, it annoys me to see Stephen categorically declare they don't exist, as if it had been scientifically proven.
It has. The laws of thermodynamics prove it. See Robin Cox, he explains it.
@@mvmallinson depends on how you define ghost
You don't have to scientifically prove that something doesn't exist to reasonably say it doesn't exist
@@no_peace Fair, it's just the pompous way he says it that irks me.
One cannot prove a negative.
I did a tour of a Welsh Castle , we go through these large barn doors up some stairs past these old windows and stop on this landing looking down at the Lobby and the Guide says " this where they say the XYZ Ghost appears . Mate- its that breezy here( near them ) its better than AirCon . Its just a up draft . Our memories are that strong we still "see " our departed love ones in grief. Ghosts are only in Western culture if you notice
Alan Davies is painfully unfunny, epically when surrounded by professional comedians.
It's like your dad thinking he can do stand up comedy because the make kids laugh with funny voices.
Everyone else is dropping witty punchlines whilst he is sitting making noises and pretending.
Ryan with botox supplements.....again. A humour implant would be more effective
alan isnt funny beyond what any 5 year old does
I have learned to believe bout a third of these facts. Need some new elves. 🇺🇸

@@tonyreynolds5112 Oh good. Like that, is it? Well, I can use google translate, too, so I cordially invite you to do what you requested I do, only harder and for much, much longer, preferably until something snaps.
Also, given that a "fact," as you put it, is something that is provably true until proven otherwise (proven being something more scientific than "I read it on Facebook so it must be true"), at which point the new fact becomes fact, how exactly do you know that "most facts presented about the natural world" are incorrect?
And if you're going to use examples from QI, and i fully acknolwedge that they have been wrong in the past (they've even made a specific episode about how many times they get it wrong) please apply the following rules: 1. often these clips are old clips, and therefore may be out of date and 2. are often presented with the caveat that they are the findings or opinions of one specific group or people, and not necessarily the consensus of the wider scientific community.
which ones?
There ARE ghosts. I have one i my house! My late wife did not believe it until she saw it for herself. I have not seen it for a while. I used to look forward to it appearing as it is not a human ghost, but a cat. Two strange facts.
I NEVER saw it's eyes, nor did I ever see it disappear. It was there then it wasn't.
Sure.😂
@@rehabwales my wife laughed when i told. she was convinced when she saw it herself.
Check your heater mate, might be the carbon monoxide poisoning Stephen was talking about...
Also are you certain it was just some random cat that got in and walked away while you weren't paying attention?
Like it strikes me as odd how these ghosts always appear in these vague conditions when there's no one else around and they conviently dissappear whenever non believers are around.
Like why don't they ever show up in a mall during peak hours or something?!
