I thought the joke was like, how you pause for a moment before you come. And the actor paused, and came all over an audience member who was holding an umbrella. Then I thought "why would anyone have an umbrella?"
The one thing I love about being English is unashamedly taking the high-horse with complete humour snobbery. Most of the joke's hilarity is in the build up, timing and context. I mean.. it was in a theatre! :O
Part of the joke is ofcourse that Gielgud was famous for his gaffes, and that he was held in very high esteem in British theatre. So here the great Sir John Gielgud offers advice to a young actor, and it turns out to be not exactly the kind of wisdom one would expect, but rather another Gielgud Gaffe. If you don't know who Gielgud is, half the fun is gone.
@superkenalmighty Depends, I see Americans with entitlement issues but I also see non-Americans with entitlement issues because they're not Americans @.@ So I suppose if you think you're better than [insert country/person/whatever here] then yeah, but otherwise, shine onnnn~
@SisterSkift I just don't understand what 'entitlement issues' has to do with somebody insulting someone else's nationality. =/ It's not an 'entitlement issue' so much as it is simply being insulting. A person doesn't need to think they're better to tell somebody they're crap; there's plenty of jerk-asses in the world that have low self-esteem.
@superkenalmighty Normally I notice a sort of "better than [insert country here]" when I see it. Sometimes it's the opposite of low self-esteem, and complete narcissism. The original comment I was talking about was Americans not getting the joke, therefore I'm assuming that they believe Americans are idiots. It was an assumption and I'm mostly joking around, no need to turn it into a debate.
@alunrichardson you've just "come" as in ejaculated... so the moral of the story is don't pause, cuz you'll never be able to start again after hearing that!!
Okay that's enough! I promise not to do that anymore...lol. I thought it was quite funny - but obviously there are some ery touchy Session's fans on here.
Why do you always have to ruin it. I worked hard to get you this gig. When nobody else would touch you...I got you QI and what do you do...you belch in the face of comedy with your poorly rehersed anecdote!
@Hutcarlingos The Joke is "Never Pause on stage because you'll hear strange things coming from the audience, in this case, a Woman telling a man off for ejaculating semen over her Umbrella"
@DaibloDBZ2010 "The Joke is "Never Pause on stage because you'll hear strange things coming from the audience, in this case, a Woman telling a man off..."

To anyone who says thinks this is an anecdote rather than a joke (and I agree with them) the very first thing John Sessions says is "[can I] tell my, erm, pausing joke?"
By pausing, he overheard someone in the audience exclaim that someone had just cum on their umbrella. Meaning they were masturbating during the production. Lesson: Never pause.
I don't know, just wanted to tell you that I didn't care how old you were because it didn't mean anything, that's all. Also, I didn't understand what he said at first because he said it too quickly and I couldn't be bothered to listen closer to what he said, therefore I didn't laugh, therefore I asked NICELY if anyone could explain it then someone did. Then I understood it but some idiot said I was a moron, and I'm blatantly not. Okay? I understand it now though... okay?
Thanks, yes, I was trying not to sound all hissy cause I don't like doing that, it starts meaningless youtube fights and waste time and make people upset, so, glad this is all sorted now :)
yeah o.k, somone else has already explained it. It's just i thought it was a "joke" and that i was somehow misunderstanding the punch line, but i wasn't cuz it was just a weird, amusing story.
nice user name. one thing thats funny, is i think hugh laurie, thoguh hes still young mind you, looks better now than he did before (at least while watching House M.D.) that beard does his wonders
its also wonderful and depressing, depressing coz you can put together side by side clips of them 20 years ago and now and see how wonderful and energetic they were before AND its depressing coz you see people age and death is inevitable...
Ugh, You idiots and your E-Penis's showing off to randomers who are seen as text.. YAAAWWN- do something productive, Anyway- could someone explain, as it sounds funnt- i just dont get it ^^
It's not really a joke as such, just a really hilarious and unexpected thing for someone to hear blurted out in the middle of a play, especially when told in such an upper-crust accent.
By the way, can you kind fellows who thumb down "I don't get it comments" please fuck off and kill yourselves? If somebody doesn't get a joke, it doesn't mean they should be chastised for it, it means they want to know more about the fucking joke, because they haven't understood it! Watch me get thumbed down now.
Maybe you'll get thumbed down for the fact that you want people to lay off those who don't get the joke, but then urge said people to kill themselves, whilst using swear words as some form of pathetic defense. You're hardly endearing yourself, and at the same time projecting yourself as a complete moron.
I don't actually urge people to kill themselves. "Fuck off and die" is just internet speak and essentially means "ah shut up". I don't use swear words as a defense.
I'm not attacking you either, I'm just saying. I think yours was a good reply.
Thank you for saying, and sorry to blow your point out of proportion. It's rare to have a discussion where the other person makes a point you might not agree with that doesn't end in personal attacks and ill-witted abuse so thanks for bucking the trend, a refreshing change! Hope you are well!
I agree, SimonWhovian. It's a nice change to see escalating patterns of aggressive abuse dissipated in these comment threads. But it's not unique.
It's good to spread a little peace and, to quote Desiderata, to 'go placidly amid the noise...' and 'as far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons'
I realise that 'fuck off and kill yourselves' is common but the trend of chucking around abusive language for a perceived crime in comments is still sad, no matter how normal it now is.
The boring old farts were right when they told us foul-mouthed teens that it only makes one look ignorant and defensive.
Like animals posturing and threatening, or road rage, it doesn't make for civilised, peaceful solutions.
I do agree with you that those saying they don't get it should not be condemned.
Well said. I'm sick of seeing such nasty comments in response to polite questions or confusion, with nasty language with it. Also the random insults at various users for their videos just because they don't like the actor etc.
"The boring old farts were right when they told us foul-mouthed teens that it only makes one look ignorant and defensive."
is an abosultely disgusting comment, i get the whole thing where some igit come's along and says some insult where he uses a "bad" word.
you wanna know what's truly ignorant and defensive is the notion that your some how more civilized merely because u dont use these words. true a zoo monkey is probably more civil->
reading the rest of the comments above this seemingly endless stream of ppl agreeing with one another on how the fact that swearing and mean comments are rampant in society is just utterly revolting, it sounds like a group whining old women about how being kind to ppl is so fantastic,
'go placidly amid the noise...' and 'as far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons'
that whole quote screams complacantcy and being completely without objection and its fucking gay.
LOL you think since i said "fucking gay" that im intolerent of gay ppl? thats truly moronic
ill tell you where you'd be without those who would dissent, you wouldnt have democracy, you'd live in a society where those with ill intent are not met with opposition.
and if you believe me to be moronic to do so then i feel sorry for whatever world you see
I think the joke is simply that you should never stop speaking on stage because you don't want to know what the audience is up to. It's partly funny b/c there is no pun involved ... kind of a non-sequitor. Also funny imagining Sir. John Gielgud relating this story to a young actor.
It's less a joke and more a story or anecdote.

I realise that 'fuck off and kill yourselves' is common but the trend of chucking around abusive language for a perceived crime in comments is still sad, no matter how normal it now is.
The boring old farts were right when they told us foul-mouthed teens that it only makes one look ignorant and defensive.
Like animals posturing and threatening, or road rage, it doesn't make for civilised, peaceful solutions.
I do agree with you that those saying they don't get it should not be condemned.

You're absolutely right (no sarcasm). I just think it's a shame that you can be chastised for not understanding a joke.

Well said. I'm sick of seeing such nasty comments in response to polite questions or confusion, with nasty language with it. Also the random insults at various users for their videos just because they don't like the actor etc.

iv no idea what comment this is refering to but -
"The boring old farts were right when they told us foul-mouthed teens that it only makes one look ignorant and defensive."
is an abosultely disgusting comment, i get the whole thing where some igit come's along and says some insult where he uses a "bad" word.
you wanna know what's truly ignorant and defensive is the notion that your some how more civilized merely because u dont use these words. true a zoo monkey is probably more civil->

reading the rest of the comments above this seemingly endless stream of ppl agreeing with one another on how the fact that swearing and mean comments are rampant in society is just utterly revolting, it sounds like a group whining old women about how being kind to ppl is so fantastic,
'go placidly amid the noise...' and 'as far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons'
that whole quote screams complacantcy and being completely without objection and its fucking gay.

LOL you think since i said "fucking gay" that im intolerent of gay ppl? thats truly moronic
ill tell you where you'd be without those who would dissent, you wouldnt have democracy, you'd live in a society where those with ill intent are not met with opposition.
and if you believe me to be moronic to do so then i feel sorry for whatever world you see

I don't know why he had is umbrella open in a theater, but I'm glad he did.

Why do people here keep assuming that the umbrella was open? Of course it wasn't.
You'd either put it under your seat or hold it or lean it up against your seat edge/knee or something.
He could just as easily have said "... all over my coat/shoes/trouser leg..." or something.

Is it a double meaning of 'pause'?

I think the joke is simply that you should never stop speaking on stage because you don't want to know what the audience is up to. It's partly funny b/c there is no pun involved ... kind of a non-sequitor. Also funny imagining Sir. John Gielgud relating this story to a young actor.
