For me, the hidden gem in this episode centers around the full moon dialogue, and how it doesn't actually contribute to our strangeness, when Sean Lock chimes up with, "So why do I go out killing?" I just had to pause the whole thing to regain my composure and stop crying, still laughing...

Sean had a similar joke once that went something like this: “I also hear voices in my head, but I just ignore them… and keep on murdering.”

Sean Lock is probably my favorite panelist of them all. He is absolutely hilarious

Bill Bailey just told the best how many ... light bulb jokes ever.

I'd imagine that Bill Bailey could play all of those instruments with a good amount of proficiency.

"Stephen! What are you pissing through these days?" HAHAHAHA xD

I think that's why he does it, actually. Just watching him over ten seasons you sort of think, that guy is here to have fun, and ask questions, and make us feel less bad for being completely ignorant. He's so loveable, and if he doesn't know something, and he's so loveable, no one is going to hate me for being an idiot!

RIP Sean Lock :(

Alan Davies asks all the questions I don't have the guts to ask

I always get annoyed when someone says '___ has more bacteria on it than a toilet seat.' It's completely useless knowing HOW MANY are on something, without knowing WHAT KINDS of bacteria. Does the toilet seat have flesh eating bacteria, or just the stuff that's on our skin to keep us healthy? Does the cutting board have mostly harmless stuff, and maybe enough salmonella to keep my immune system working, or covered in botolum?

It is very impolite to ‘diagnose’ someone publicly. It is unethical for any doctor to do so, so you are not a doctor. My diagnose of you is that you are a rude idiot. I am also not a doctor. But you are still an idiot.

Cruithne doesn't orbit the earth, it is in an almost shared orbit with earth around the sun, and Cruithne was discovered in '86 it's orbit was discovered in '97

British troops took part in the Battle of the Bulge too, which Hollywood, history and Steven Fry has overlooked.

Just to put things streight. Contrary to most opinions, us Catholics are not a bunch of idiots and we know what a beaver is. In the middleages beaver tails were concidered fish ( like it was said they have scales), and I think such believe had lived up untill the "modern era" (late XVIII early XIX century) in both catholic and protesant societies. So nowdays the Pope would not consider beaver to be a fish, nor would he still consider it's tail to be one. And by the way, this is not a Catholic "invention". It is a belive taken from ancient Romans and Greeks. Christians were allowed to eat fish during fast, because it was common knowledge that they "by will of God/gods" come to be from the stones at the bottom of a river/sea.

4:16

Feel a bit sorry for Anneka, she must feel like a spectator watching the funny guys.

The "beaver is a fish" for the purposes of lent has nothing to do with the scaliness. It is because the beaver was a staple of the diet of early Canadian traders. Edit: the following is wrong, explanation is in the replies Meat is avoided on Fridays during Lent because it is a luxury. Fish and beavers were staples of the diets of certain groups, eaten not out of luxury but out of necessity.

@darkabysskiller

9 жыл бұрын

Despite the terminology differences here, the 4 "satellites" mentioned here are NOT in orbit of the Earth. With specific regards to Cruithne, it has an orbit around the sun, yet when viewed from earth it appears to have a horseshoe shaped orbit around a point nearby to us, leading to the assumptions at the time of discovery of it having a horseshoe shaped orbit around Earth, leading to the term moon being used. To the best of my knowledge, four of the five "satellites" mentioned here are not satellites. (At least of Earth. Holding an orbit of the sun makes them satellites of the sun, of course)

I have watched QI over and over again, I have no idea if it is still running but it is a show that we could have always running for if the got to Z then just start again as there is a gold mine out there of letters and words yet to be used used. The panellists are so good but I do tire of Alan, he is just a bore and always falls on racist things for a laugh. I have never understood how he gets away with it. It has to be one of the best shows ever as is big fat quiz as well as cats. when re-watching I find I had missed or forgotten some thing that was said.

Very condescending approach to learning difficulties by Alan there (12:22). Not a good example to be setting.

The rather puerile pun they are giggling about is that 'beaver' can refer to female genitals but only in america. When was this adopted in England? I have never referred to a pussy as a beaver.
