QI - Series 1, Episode 8 - Homosexuals Can't Whistle

[buttersyrupnpancakes]

lmao Alan you are my hero

[ckyfan08]

'oh how sophisticated'

Made me laugh so much

[Leowen2]

Whats at Essex?

[AnswerToNumber]

@Leowen2 Essex is a county in England. An Essex girl is a pejorative stereotype of a female who is said to be promiscuous. Wikipedia "Essex girl" for more info.

[slytown]

I wanna go drinking with Alan Davies.

[posro1988]

fry is gay, and obviously a great man

[GreyLabyrinthine]

@posro1988 ... and he can whistle, I believe.

Probably even with a cock in his mouth - he's just that awesome, isn't he? :)

[airemillion90]

homosexuals also spit fire and bleed acid

[PhilWithCoffee]

@airemillion90 Sounds almost like the creatures from Alien...aside from the fire bit.

[BrendanStuart]

thats great, the only two punchlines in the clip are in the top comments

[Leowen2]

When a gay sucks a cock does it make ones breath smell.

[Kenny10]

@Leowen2 Nope, it makes it minty fresh with a hint of Mango

[bp56789]

Death to the video quoters!

[Flipperlikesdipper]

its epic how at 1:14 Stephen Fry announces his win with a belly scratch hell yeah!

[stig1893]

i remember reading that novel, forgot which bond novel exactly. but M was reading a report about how gays can't whistle. he dismisses it to bull shit when remembers he hasn't whistled since he was a boy and can't whistle any more lol

[aimeefran]

How rude. :P I know at least one...well, one... person in Essex who isn't like that.

...Me. :)

[LittleBabyBum]

classic. i mean, it's an instant classic. one of the best things on tv. bbc is worth every penny

[ArtiePiscano]

the only real reason a man would need to whistle is so that he can whistle at hot women, so if your gay then would have never developed this ability

[dd0927]

@ArtiePiscano what about lesbian..

[Leowen2]

I'm wondering if ga guys have a smelly breath from sucking a penis.

[Resimaster]

@Leowen2 So do you also wonder if women have smelly breath for the same reason?

[mushroomshrub]

Why didn't Stephen just whistle?

[BlakeGoodwell]

@mushroomshrub hes gay

[erla24]

I am gay, and I can't whistle. I wonder which caused the other...

[edu8273]

@erla24  i'm gay and cant wistle either

[xxsangrealxx]

Alan Davies at 0:27 - the real life troll-face :D

[Skeew1]

"o how sophisticated" :)

fry FTW

[xsingsthesorrow]

I love how Stephen says 'yeah' after Alan says 'cose they've always got a cock in their mouth' then Stephen realises what he said

[Roddyoneeye]

What about Danny Kay ?

[proprodigySD]

I like how the crude gay jokes (though undeniably funny) aren't being hounded by the PC police.

I hate when people get all uppity about shit. Jokes are better than real slurs. It means people accept it as a norm, like Nazi jokes. And hey, it's true. Putting your lips together to blow is quite correct and changing your ambature certainly makes the experience more pleasurable ;)

[357Snowball]

Brilliant how Stephen agrees b4 realising what Alan said :)

[GiniBaggins]

@357Snowball That's just a priceless moment ;) :D

[TheAlexander627]

"I've never been to Essex."

WIN.

[BlakeGoodwell]

@TheAlexander627 never been to essex? i dont get the joke xD

[IYukonI]

@BlakeGoodwell

Essex  is Englands Jersey Shore

[BlakeGoodwell]

@IYukonI LOL

[IAMMARR]

"He has this idea that homosexuals can't whistle, for example-"

"-Cos they've always got a cock in their mouth"

*Head desk*

"I want you to go and stand in the corner"

Brilliant XD

[alexhamster1134]

@IAMMARR thanks for quoting the video for us morons.

[IAMMARR]

@alexhamster1134 No problem.

[spartanses]

@IAMMARR thank you for telling me that. i was born without ears.

[IAMMARR]

@spartanses You have my greatest sympathies.

[mazzyboodeboo]

what does alan say? i can't make it out...

[nagga123456789]

@mazzyboodeboo not if they have a c**k in their mouth

[mazzyboodeboo]

@nagga123456789 oh right yeah thanks XD lulz :)

[TheTwelfthApostle]

'ohh how sophisticated'

[CallumJStewart]

Who's the woman on Alan's team? She has possibly the most annoying voice I've ever had the misfortune to hear.

[Nogli]

Linda Smith. Who wasn't funny, but I'm not allowed to say that because she's died.

[RahmSifr]

@CallumJStewart Merci for stating this most obvious truth.
