Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson reminice

[ebiljebus]

0:42 Is it just me, or does she sound like a Dalek when she says "THEY'RE ALL YOURS!"

[Cresendoll]

"Lock the doors! \o/"

[Namaechan]

@skyerune @bilgewater79 Tamest youtube argument i've ever seen. Well done!

[Cleo4696]

A Peruvian!!? lol stephen.

[ShearsOfAtropos]

I love the slightly mocking look she gives Stephen at 1:11

[dominickkk5]

'she showed me her breests.'

[Skeew1]

stephen, i think the size of ladies underpants is the one matter people are not going to consult you on.

[GiniBaggins]

Lock the doors, lock the doors!

[bilgewater79]

Seems to be a little heterophobic doesn't he?

[skyerune]

@bilgewater79

There's a difference between heterophobia and being squeamish when having someone you're not attracted to come on you, fully nude.

[bilgewater79]

@skyerune humorless twat.

[skyerune]

@bilgewater79 Ignorant Wanker. Shall we continue? I'm already bored of this.

[bilgewater79]

@skyerune yeah, this is pretty lame. Nice insulting you. Hope you are successful at whatever you do.

[flodnak]

@bilgewater79 I think it's just the opposite. Stephen Fry has said there are some women he finds himself attracted to, in spite of being "90% gay". I suspect he wants to guard against feeling attracted to Emma Thompson because he values her friendship too much to risk it.

[bilgewater79]

@flodnak I think you are thinking too much. He is just afraid of vagina.

[Namaechan]

You can see her thinking "Oh, he's talking about female genitalia now, eh? The hypocrite! Well, we'll see about that...."

[LeftyHandedGuns]

I'm a teenage girl and I'm straight, but if I'm honest, Emma Thompson is hotter, more intelligent and more lusciously gorgeous than any male I've so far encountered.

And I've no shame saying that.

[DeanMalenko]

@LeftyHandedGuns To stay on the topic of the video, tell us about your pubes :P

[LeftyHandedGuns]

@DeanMalenko Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

[DeanMalenko]

@LeftyHandedGuns That was trolling?

[LeftyHandedGuns]

@DeanMalenko It better have been, or you just need to get out more.

[DeanMalenko]

@LeftyHandedGuns It was a joke, granted not a great one, but not intended to troll ( in my definition to troll is to say something incredibly wrong for the reason to make others lose their temper).

[LeftyHandedGuns]

@DeanMalenko This is like, a prime example of why Emma Thompson is hotter than heterosexual men about my age. How fitting.

[DeanMalenko]

@LeftyHandedGuns Always glad to help. Have a nice night.

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@LeftyHandedGuns

Yeah, I'd give it to her, too.

[o10AnnE10o]

breest?

[biffington]

i...i.....quite like Emma Thompson.....

[liptonslug]

i love you forever emma! don't change~

[LissyDu]

@liptonslug unless its infront of stephen fry ;)

[Yickbob]

Emma, Stephen & Hugh (& Tony Slattery) were all at Cambridge and in The Footlights together. Also Emma dated Hugh at the time.

[RincewindsHat66]

Y'know, as a 22 year old, I still find Emma Thompson to be an absolutely beautiful woman. It's one of the few things that puts me at odds with Stephen Fry.

[357Snowball]

@olddeuteronomy Steven also described himself as 90% gay on The Rob Brydon Show.

[HeartlessConservativ]

This is the most English thing I've ever seen.

That is not an insult.  I mean it endearingly.

[EmmyNeander]

How could anyone scream in terror when confronted with a naked Emma Thompson? :P

[ROBOCAM3000]

@EmmyNeander he is homosexual. alot of gay men are actuslly afraid of the female body. also i think alot of it was an act

still, even if i were gay, she would make me bi...

[EmmyNeander]

@ROBOCAM3000 Yes, I do know that, I wasn't completely serious, as indicated by the :P. :)

[Fawkes22]

@ROBOCAM3000

Hehe me too... and I am a woman and normally straight :P

But in her case I would make an exception :P

[palmtree1052]

this part isn't in my copy of the episode. Is it an outtake or do I have a different one?

[m2ger8]

@palmtree1052 it was in the xl version i think

[TrufflesTheMushroom]

@palmtree1052 Possibly part of the XL version, or (probably not) maybe a few censored bits they included in the dvd.

[hop208]

Peruvian... LOL

[KingOrcus]

"Do you shave down there?"

"Do you want to se-"

"NO I DON'T WANT TO SEEE!!!!!"

[waori]

They need to do a QI with Emma Thompson and Hugh Laurie

[grauekatze]

Admirable people.

[LittlPussi]

What makes their naughtiness extra funny is that the both of them are usually such classy people. :)

[latindancer4ever]

"Do you wax yourself down there Darling?"

Only best friends could talk so openly and fabulously on National television!

Adore them both!!

[Auroral3orealis]

"It is great to make someone very clever fall apart like that."

[Lamporre]

0:28 Holy crap poor Stephen's really scared....

[t12478]

I love it how Emma is clearly completely unaffected by Stephen's confident witty super smart host-ness, especially at 1:14. Only a real friend can mock you with such an attitude. :P

[TheKlervie]

Stephen's little scream when Emma says "by appearing nude ..." is priceless.

[SerPinkKnight]

Was this cut from the main episode?

[chrisofnottingham]

"big pants nice bush,what's wrong with that?"

Nothing Stephen, nothing at all.

[12345random67890]

She's quite amazing.

[medea1990]

Love it, love it, love it!

[ROBOCAM3000]

METHINKS SHE DID DO IT..... BUT HIS REACTION USUALLY ISNT THE SAME....

;-) YES.... METHINKS HE IS BI.....

[olddeuteronomy]

@ROBOCAM3000 Emma Thompson once described Stephen as 90% gay and 10% other. Not sure what the other is, lol.

[Kretain]

@olddeuteronomy Well considering his reaction to one of the pictures in an episode, I would guess horses :D

[zinnycat1597]

"Do you want to see?"

"NO I DO NOT WANT TO SEE! *covers eyes* NOOOO I DO NOT!"

Awww poor Stephen lol

[JeanneRousseau]

Funny stuff!

[ILuvBones4eva]

"do you wax down there?"

"do you want to see?"

"no no no!"

aha she is amazing and funny x

[kakicookie]

" Lock the doors, lock the doors" How funny!!!!

[latindancer4ever]

do you reckon she really used to do that?

[xopenheartx]

"It's great to make someone very clever fall apart like that."

[MissChessur]

Oh poor Stephen! ;D

[NixorX]

Oh, how I love those two. Absolutely adorable.

[sgupta4]

God, I love them both!

[jerryhello100]

Pubes, why did they have to go away?

[StephanieSmith92]

Hilarious!

[PrometheanRunGood]

"Yes! Baby! It's all yours!" lol

[rnbldsrnmsvlbl]

He calls her dovie. How sweet is that!

[Privolva]

jajajaja es genial, me encanta esta mujer

[metube12]

LOL! He knows she'd do it!!

[northstar1950]

I would be quite happy is she exposed any of her bits to me!!:)

[AnnetteWarren]

God, I love her!

[fimbledonkey2]

Bahaa i think he walked into that one slightly :P

Man I love her!!

She's my second favourite actress xD

xx

[MsMafia810]

I love the way Stephen pronounces Breasts..."breeeeeests."

[azazel637]

they made it that much harder too pluck the fruit..o noterighty

[Teezer44]

They were both students at Cambridge University, and worked together a lot in the famous Cambridge footlights. Thats y there so close.

[bebelovesretro]

How come they know each other before this? Were they in something together? If yes, i think i need to see it!

[Katanalikeskittens]

There's also a very good show called Alfresco that they were both in with Robbie Coltrane and the lovely Hugh Laurie.

[Sunlight70]

@bebelovesretro Also in the film "Peter's Friends" together...

[Bigfatbutterfly02]

@bebelovesretro Oh, you so totally need to see Peter's friends (it is on Youtube) It's a film in which Stephen and Emma (and Hugh and Tony Slattery) are performing and it's great fun. It's absolutely fantastic, mainly after seeing this QI vid. You watch, you find out ;)

[bfdhvcnvvbjdn]

@bebelovesretro because they are part of the whole Hugh Laurie/Richard Curtis/Ben Elton/Rowan Atkinson/Alan Rickman crowd. Over the years they have worked together in various combinations in film and TV. Also, Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson were in 'Peter's Friends' (1992) together.

[Lamporre]

@bfdhvcnvvbjdn

Wasn't Kenneth Branagh part of that group too? I mean he was married to Emma Thompson, always casting her in his films, plus he seems to be friends with Stephen Fry, considering their work together, and he did bring all those old college friends together for "Peter's Friends".

[lulanne]

@Lamporre

No!! kenneth brannagh was married to emma thompson, of course, but he wasn't in the same university than hugh laurie, stephen fry etc...he met emma thompson a couple of years after!!

[Lamporre]

@lulanne

Ah. So I guess he befriended Fry and Thompson later...

[hfest08]

Emma Thompson has always been one of my favorite actresses , but I never knew she had such a great wit about her.

[itstherevolution]

lol they seem like really good friends

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

I love his reaction. Nothing like seeing a squeamish gay man when confronted with a nude female. XD

[p8alan]

Emma  is awwesome just love her

[disappearingboy44]

They're hilarious.

I can only imagine the terrified look on Stephen's face, haha.

[MissTracyLord]

Does anyone know where I can find the rest of this episode?

[FastMonkeyBluePants]

"Do you wax yourself down there darling?" What a thing to ask a lady! LOL

[madameCecily]

Emma Thompson is just to cool

[KeladryL]

What's fun is that Stephen is STILL freaked out, even thirty years later.

[mumtaz08]

man i wish i was in Stephen's shoes...

seeing all that....hmm

nniice....

[NightMarkVII]

NOOOOOO I DON'T WANT TO SEE!

[YubiShines]

Lock the doors! Lock the doors!

[macolleague]

"Big pants, nice bush. What's wrong with that?" Ahahah!!

I love Stephen Fry!

[Weirfan69]

Wait, wasn't this not in the actual episode, just in the extended version? Why?!!?!?!?!?!? Because this is the best exchange in the whole episode....

[notaperm]

Stephen is the host of the show so Hugh could not appear without him. Hugh was on ep 1 of series 1. He barely spoke and decided it wasn't for him. He hasn't been on QI since but I gather he's doing quite well elsewhere...

[Suprahampton]

He's doing House, so I'd say he's doing quite well. I think Steven suits QI perfectly

[notaperm]

Nope, only once. Mate.

[KeladryL]

LOL! You of all people would know!

[toanoradian]

Uh, I'm sorry if I'm missing the joke...but why is Stephen afraid?

[loveandkaos]

He's gay. Not that every single gay man is that incredibly afraid of breasts, especially Emma Thomson's, but he obviously is.

I'm not saying that being gay is bad! Don't misinterpret the comment!

[norfnorfnorf]

He's not so afraid of breasts. He had a sex with a woman several times when he was young. He's afraid when it happens like that!=)

[madbassskills]

Haha if I remember right, he worded it like "The vagina seemed to be better made for the job I must admit". But I doubt he had sex with women several times.

[norfnorfnorf]

WomAn. It was in his book. I have it.

[norfnorfnorf]

"The vagina seemed to be better made for the job I must admit"

Yes, he said something like "Vagina is perfectly made for the job..."

Btw why people gave me -7? I really didn't get it. Did I say something wrong? I'm not English-talking.

[madbassskills]

No I knew what you meant, I just think some people thought you were implying that he was secretly heterosexual. Although people that have read Moab is my Washpot knew just what you meant.

[norfnorfnorf]

Oh. Now ic! It looks likely Indeed. Thank you.

And people, just in case, no I WASN'T implying that he was heterosexual=)

[ZhoZhaal]

@norfnorfnorf: I've read his autobiography and he never mentions having sex with a woman. Where do you get your information from?

[norfnorfnorf]

Moab Is My Washpot , 1997 5/6 of book

"... She gave me ... a damned good fuck, the memory of which is also with me still.

... I had told her early on that I was probably homosexual, but she did not see this as any kind of impediment at all.

... We remained friends and tried it again once or twice, in a field and in a car. My heart was never in it, but my loins were very grateful indeed for the outing and the exercise."

[Babsan11]

@norfnorfnorf "She" being Emma Thomson??

[norfnorfnorf]

@Babsan11

nope

[norfnorfnorf]

And that piece we were talking about:

"...I could not, afterwards, deny that the design features of the vagina, so far as texture and enclosing elasticity were concerned, seemed absolutely made for the job — ideally suited in fact. "

[menadeb2us]

Can you upload the whole episode? It looks so funny!

[busybee720]

Stephen Fry + Emma Thompson = hilarity + true wit!

[Nnirvania]

which series and episode is this from? luvly show this is, luvly

[funyouknow]

QI - Quite interesting - series F - episode 11 - Film

[seralti]

but it's not in the actual aired episode. Was this from some extended version, or DVD extras?

[funyouknow]

That's from the extended version (called 'QI XL'). QI Series F aired on BBC One. QI XL on BBC Two on the following day.

[yesbutnotthat]

yet another reason I love Emma with an undying love (=

[orphedeliaXimmortal]

i'm sure she thoroughly enjoyed that part in peter's friends didn't she? *evil grin*

[loserfreak92]

breests!

XD

[sjoes]

Emma thompson has most definitely grown on me both as an actress and a human being. To unbalance Stephen Fry is an achievement and she so enjoys doing it.

[karisheadspace]

HIL-arious!  Thanks so much for posting. :)

[amyja89]

This was the funniest episode ever!
