F S6E2 3/3

[enjero90]

I can't stop laughing with the "In England we live in houses" :D Too funny how Stephen says that :p

[DieFinsternisUndHass]

Wait. So it is a non copyrighted song with the exception of the 5 golden Ring part that was added later on. So, what was it like before? Did people skip 5?

I feel like I should feel silly for asking, but I really don't get it...

[SSJDevin]

@DieFinsternisUndHass No no, it's not "5 golden rings" in of itself, it's the way people like to extend it like "fiiiiiive gooooo~oooolden riiiiings." That style of that line was copyrighted I guess.

[BoomDowg]

5:34 "Talk to the face cause hand ain't listening!" Is that right?

[derrynator]

It's not the fire that kills you.

[TheDragoclaw]

You might even say Rob Brydon was on fire in this one

[niemanickurwa]

I love Rob Brydon

[khasab]

pykrete does melt. The original plans called for refrigeration units to keep the pykrete cold. see .wikipedia-Pykrete

[qq88qq88qq88]

@khasab Personally, i trust a panel show with Steven Fry as the host more than a website where anyone can add whatever they want

[khasab]

@qq88qq88qq88 well I'm afraid it's a fact. Pretty obvious if you think about it, it must melt. What they were reallu interested in was it's strength,

[Blackheart4eva]

@qq88qq88qq88 I think what they meant was that it melted at a lower temperature than pure ice. Everything melts, metals, plastics etc. The fact that it melt at a lower temperature was useful, it's a bit like putting salt in water, you get the same sort of effect.

[ThatsSpiffing]

rob saying 'what a thrill' has me in stiches

[bradfordbulls4lyf]

5 gooooold rings MWHAHAHAHA i have broken copyright

[357Snowball]

@seaton125 I think he meant it never GETS cold enough to snow.

[SQUEEZEMYBUNS]

that dom guy should come on more often

[jetfire851]

Is there an American equivalent of Christopher Biggins? I'd like to use that party game...

[jdhathrisen]

@jetfire851 Do you have someone large, camp and always appears in pantomimes? The only person I can think of off the top of my head is Harvey Fierstein.

[EmmyNeander]

Rodney Bewes. There he goes again.

[cywyhot]

In the US the 12 Days of Christmas line is usually "five golden rings."

[lytrigian]

@cywyhot No it isn't.

[freethis222]

I've laughed so much I'm hurting - hilarious episode :D

[tombaker92]

i think i've found my new favourite Qi episode

[seaton125]

but he just said that at absolute zero it doesn't snow...

[dilwich123]

What does this mean? It involves Christopher Biggins.....hahahahaha

[MPAH1981]

@dilwich123 That was refering back to the party game Stephen mentioned.

[bandoforlife]

I love it when Rob yells at the audience :D

[geraint342]

shittt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheSickness14]

"What does this mean?"

[darkaura0]

Awww and it just snowed yesterday morning here in Ottawa, Canada! I am now feeling ready to face the long cold winter thanks to stephen and company.

[InTheSpaceSpellsFace]

Freaky, as soon as Stephen mentioned snow, it started snowing outside...in the West Country where it apparently NEVER SNOWS!!

[RyanLFC86]

Dom Joly used to go to school with Osama Bin Laden

[Stephenlinds]

@RyanLFC86 I knew that fact aswell :P

Osama was described as a very intimidating character how ironic.

[RyanLFC86]

@Stephenlinds lol oh how they turned out so different

[lennic95]

Haha Rob said talk to the face cus the hand ain't listening...(it's the other way round)

[mrcreative13]

@lennic95

[mrpolaroid123]

[lickstickly]

[anaemicandsweet]

Oh Rob!

[SovietGuy101]

"what happens when you blow out the candles on your brithday cake"

Alan's buzzer "youre fired"

LMAO

[ProcrastinatingGuy]

2:00 -> 2:10 EPIC

Poor Rob got soooooo smacked with that one laughter!!

I heard Richard Burton, and he doesnt sound like he has a nasal problem! ROFL!

[tartantictac]

I cant believe Alan didn't say Stephen Fry (0:53)

[reccaphoenix]

lol @ rob brydon's Richard Burton impression....

[janeeyre1990]

I always thought the lyrics were "five goldEN rings". Huh.

[mandowarrior123]

@janeeyre1990 perhaps that version isnt covered

[GreenBalloons]

@janeeyre1990

Me too, I thought he sang it wrong

[lickstickly]

@janeeyre1990 in 'the great escape' they sing five gold rings but then again i bloody hate that song anyway so cant be assed to contradict

[nitramgnal]

Brydon is pretty good in this.

[kittyprydekissme]

So how does the traditional version go if it isn't 'Five gold rings'?

Actually, I usually hear 'Five golden rings', which has an additional syllable and works better. Is this version more common in the US, or is it sung that way there, too?

[snapefanno1]

@kittyprydekissme The traditional version has the line 'five gold rings', but it follows the same rhythm as the rest of the song, rather than holding the note longer as in the new version.

[Pippin1988]

"It's crying out, knowing... shut up!" <3

[sBurfishkid]

"In England we live in houses." Nice one Fry.

[ELuhn]

@sBurfishkid Back where I come from, we call that a "burn."

[lennic95]

Rob said talk to the face cus' the hand ain't listening...

[lilleahhere05]

@lennic95 ano man lol

[SoylentGreeeen]

"Talk to the face, 'cause the hand ain't listening."

GENIUS. I remember he also did that once on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year and people noticed.

[jonno2019]

@SoylentGreeeen lol yh, he fucked that one up though, hilarious

[Nick0062]

It sounded like Jimmy Carr was in the audience at 0.30 ;)

[crouchend524]

@Nick0062 It really does!

[FudgePop101]

I love stephens attempt at the noise darth vader makes!

[VamLoveAndKisses]

I can't help but wonder if Stephen was manic from his bipolarity this episode, because he does seem to be much more chipper than usual. But then again, he might have just been having a good day. But I notice when he is in a good mood like this, he is more cheeky than usual, for instance the whole,

'In England we live in houses.' crack. However I must say it was hilarious and perfectly executed in every way!

Does anyone wonder if he was manic during this episode, or am I just thinking to much?

[Nexius8]

@VamLoveAndKisses I have bi-polar and when I am in a good mood and manic I am like that. A bad mood and manic isn't pritty.

[piaaguilos]

2:10  "SHUT UP" XDD

[boltesque]

talk to the face coz the hand aint listening

[NorseRonin]

haha presence/presents xD

[SabraMagdalena]

"In England we live in houses!"

He sounds so happy when he says that. XD

[weavehole]

Does anyone know the Richard Burton quote that Brydon muffs up?

Is he thinking of Richey Edwards?

[DragonSporks]

In England we live in houses!

[RMoribayashi]

Isaac Azimov wrote a short story puzzle where a scientist is found dying. He tells his colleague that he found a cure for cancer but it must be kept at 40 degrees. The colleague asks "40 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius ?" The scientist's last words; "It doesn't matter, but you only have five minutes." ...

It's a pity he didn't have Clive there to help out.

[Elvoalven]

I don't get it.

[RMoribayashi]

At 5:11 Clive Anderson mentioned that his favorite temperature was -40 because it's the same in Fahrenheit as it is in Celsius. Knowing that it's the only time it doesn't make a difference, Clive would have saved the one existing sample of the serum by getting it to -40 before it broke down. Then they could take their time working out the formula.

[mooncowtube]

The saying "it's too cold for snow" IS perfectly valid --- but it's specific to *England*, where the saying came into existence. In this little island, washed by warm currents, it only ever gets to its coldest when the sky is clear, and when the sky is clear you cannot get snow. So it it is really cold *in England* and someone says "I wonder if it will snow" you can correctly say "No, it's too cold for snow".

[iluvwestlife4eva]

you wouldnt know a good impression if it sat on your face! XD pmsl!

rob brydon is a legend! :D

[Schpudd]

'talk to the face cause the hand aint listening'

he got it wrong eh?

[Thr89ust]

good observation

[x0rielx]

i think he meant to

[enzown]

I'm pretty sure he got the same line wrong on the big fat quiz of the year yesterday too.

[xentech]

pretty sure he does on purpose as a joke.. lol

[ELuhn]

@Schpudd He seems to have a strange sort of block about that phrase. He tried to say it again on Big Fat Quiz '09 and completely messed it up.

[angjeta]

"You're fired".

[bhajinjin]

rob brydon is awesome in this one.

[lennic95]

@bhajinjin It's not the fire that kills you...

[Kathy11144]

i love

in england we live in houses

[nitramgnal]

@Kathy11144 Unless you're a Monty Python Yorkshireman.

[adzo202]

@Kathy11144 Yes, I almost spat my tea out at that part. And that sentence made me sound overly English.

[ituyok]

2:00 lolololololol

[patrick112590]

"I have felt your presents." :P

[x0rielx]

my favorite version or this joke is

DV: "i know what you have for christmas"

L: "how can you!"

DV: "I f***ing wrapped it boy!

:P
