They say of the Acropolis...

[gklandgr]

Far too brilliant...

[Technodreamer]

One of the funniest scenes I've ever seen, anywhere, ever.

[slytown]

I would buy that song.

[Floundermore]

QI: The Musical. Every question should be answered like this..

[PhoenixCrystalHatter]

"I can't breathe... my tummy hurts..." Yes, Stephen, same here.

[etrefzger]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT :D

[EmmyNeander]

'Whadda they say, whadda they say?' :D

[Nonalir]

Every time I watch this clip it brings me to tears of laughter! Jimmy Carr and Bill Bailey starting the song just cracks me up every time.

[Joylevinstein]

The panel were brilliant as well, everyone made great contributions. Perfect

[jpjpd]

at first they're thinking haha, lets make a quick gag from him mixing up his words, then jimmy geniusly made it into a musical type thing, brilliant

[Natesmodelrailroad]

@jpjpd Bill didn't hurt it, either.

[jpjpd]

@Natesmodelrailroad no no i know, bill was superb, but when jimmy raised his arm and sort of made it into a song, it all kicked off

[njitram00000]

my favourite comedians firing on all cylinders, brilliant!

[rambozo8]

wahhevaaaa

[vertevero]

Did Stephen molest Alan at the end?

[monkeysuitman]

2:22 - Bill Bailey chanting "Fight, fight fight!" always gets me.

[thepaperhatpeople]

AHAHAHAHA this is brilliant, I'm dying over here :D

[FallingDownDeep]

Today with history we were talking about ancient greece and also partenon I almost burst out laughing thinking bout this vid. Just too damn funny not too

[gossef]

This is just too much fun! Can't stop watching xD. Makes my day to laugh :D

[animorphesis]

Just one point to the people who say qi has contradicted themself in a later episode: the statement was 'they say of the acroplois where the parthenon is, that there are no straight lines.' the elves didn't say it was true, just that there is a common rumour.

Regardless of that small point, i love this scene. :D

[DragonNyx]

I was in tears watching this the first time round :D It was amazing.

[SarrasiHope]

There is NOTHING more hilarious than Stephen Fry brought to tears with laughter!

[Legendari0usRS]

Bloody hell Stephen, this better be good

[patient451]

God, I was crying the first time I saw this. I couldn't handle it.

[MrIlovejackson]

go on stephen! 

[RagnarokiaNG]

This never gets old, lucky that it had those 3 guests at the time, or it wouldn't have turned out so well.

[holidaysinsweden]

This might well be the most epic moment in Qi history!

[Cpt50Caliber]

GOOD FUCKING GOD!!

One of the best pieces of ad libbing....IN HISTORY!!!

has me in stitches every damn time :D

[angels1151]

very good ad libbing guys, laughed me head off

[20SpiderPig10]

they broke stephen

lol

[nukebacon876]

"it's not four it's three" YES!

[Mousepie999]

Why don't they show Qi in the States? It simply isn't fair.

[MarsJenkar]

@Mousepie999 Very much agreed. This is the only way we Americans can see it at this time.

[IoEstasCedonta]

@Mousepie999 Three words: lowest common denominator. What we get are Catherine Tate, Jonathan Ross, and Graham Norton. (And Doctor Who, 'natch.) Fun!

[NFXShockwave]

@Mousepie999 It's to do with the images shown in the background. They don't have the copyright to use them in the US, so until they can afford it, I'm afraid it isn't able to be broadcast stateside. Luckily, you can find various clips on YouTube. Plus, you aren't shackled to the TV schedule. =D

[GrandiaKnight]

This just proves that you should never show weakness in front of professional comedians!

[MasterofMayhem1394]

"This better be good...." Hahahaha

[darthmoo7]

just being picky here, but isnt a sketch usually something rehearsed? this is more of a funny moment than a sketch i would have said... :P

[MySuperNan]

@darthmoo7 I think it was pretty spontaneous, so I wouldn,t have said you were picky.

[WorldChallenge]

I don't get it.

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

It's not three, it's FOUR! :D

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

@AirWaterLandBuffalo Wait. Dammit. I got that wrong.

Kill me now...

[NStenO]

2:24 FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT *confused look*

[thewildone]

Its all Jimmy. He spotted the opening and raised his arm.

[SkrateBeastin]

It's not four it's three... ayyyyyy!

[P2J6O8]

They should of kept that going ofr ages, when I watch this I always say in an evil villianous voice, YEESS THATS IT, BULLY STEPHEN...MAKE HIM CRY!!! (MANICAL LAUGHTER)

[Kamina528491]

I fucking love it when Stephen just absolutely loses control at 2:32 ^_^

[sheep15]

I AM IN TEARS

[davidjamieson85]

Season G Episode Geometry, they confirmed that the columns of Parthenon are straight.....

[vabilas28]

@davidjamieson85 no my friend, they are not

[davidjamieson85]

@vabilas28 i wasn't saying whether or not they are actually straight, i was just pointing out that sometimes on QI they contradict themselves

[IsaakTheGreek]

Poor Stephen....I wonder what he would think if he realized that his quote is wrong.They don't say that the Acropolis where the Parthenon is, has no straight lines, simply because the Acropolis is the hill in which the Parthenon sits on top!They actually say that there are no straight lines about the Parthenon itself!I don't know if you get my point....Anyway....respect to all of them from a Greek living in Australia

[ishopinamsterdam]

put 5 brilliant comedians in a room and these magical moments will happen :D thank mankind for camera's

[waitingforbrain]

This and the giant tortoise sketch are truly one of the most funniest moments in tv history, I nearly died laughing!

[byakugan2173]

Whatever!!! :)

[mmyyppaarrttyy]

honestly the funniest moment in tv, loving rob's bit at the start too!

[kamelotmerlin]

Go on steve, go on.

[17stimmo]

Comedy gold! Never not funny

[Zanith50]

what was he supost to say?

[macarion]

@Zanith50 They say of the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is, that there are no straight lines.

[rikwhodoesit]

This gets better every time I watch it, even after 261 times (:

[TheMetalPenguin]

Holy Grail reference, huzzah :D

[gumbo210]

Great, I want it as my ring tone!

[BklynBruzer]

I think they broke Stephen...

[thewildone]

It was all salvagable until 2:00 when Jimmy raised his arm. Right then Stephen knew what was about to happen.

[SiliconBong]

Stephen deserves a sweet :) thewildone

[happyjellyfish]

'Bloody hell Stephen, this better be good.'

The should have kept this in the original episode, it's wonderful.

[slytherinsheirx]

Oh my God... That was brilliant.

[Siphida]

2:32 The sound of a defeated man thinking "What happened to my life?"

[xXLuciferDarkheartXx]

Sides hurt, crying with laughter, can't breathe. This truly is the funniest TV moment of all time!

[Paplefication]

This would be the best ringtone.

[Lamporre]

Four people don't know where the Parthenon is. Or the like button.

[PollyJuice]

I just GOTTA put this quote on a T-shirt!!!!!

[xopenheartx]

I love seeing someone as clever as Stephen fall apart from laughter like this, it's hilarious :')

[eviedream]

@xopenheartx second that! I was in stitches at the other side of the room, and my dad kinda looked at my and asked if i was okay. I just said "Don't worry, dad, Stephen fry just suffered a mind melt, he'll be fine in a minute."

I'm still laughing ='D

[Lamporre]

2:12 - 2:23 I wish they'd kept that jig going longer, if only Bill hadn't started yelling "Fight Fight Fight" at the end

[AlexanderT21]

2 people missed the like button :P

[mehblahmehblah]

It's not a sketch!

[rarekubus]

2 people dont have straight lines.

[theduderwiggysan]

Fantastic!



[hecate8126]

They say of metropolis, where superman lives.

[TheVegaKapera]

I can't stop watching this clip. Seen it 20 times or more and I still laugh like a madwoman when i watch it.

[thewildone]

2:25 Bloody Hell, Steven, this better be good.

LULZ

[XhoowieX]

replace any 1 of those 5 people and that comedy goldnever happens...

[Substantive64]

Bloody Hell Steven, this better be good!

[chalybs64]

So funny it's painful to watch!

[Tomatentapenade]

@HPDMRLSB it's here watch?v=z2TOFpDbUjI at the end, if you haven't found it yet. Though there is not much teasing actually..

[GriffinPilgrim]

Four of the funniest people on the planet...ruthlessly taunting a fifth. It doesn't get better than that.

[leglesstheelf]

@HPDMRLSB Not off the top of my head, sorry :(

[leglesstheelf]

@HPDMRLSB I think it's when Jimmy Carr and Sean Locke are talking about how Stephen doesn't buy his pants - "They're made on a loom by exquisite boys!"

[zoidberg295]

FIGHT FIGHT FGHT XD

[BOSOX9004]

"My tummy hurts!"

XD XD XD XD XD

[Hobgoblin93ZZZ]

Bloddy marvalous Comedy! :)

QI Will go down through the genarations like morcambe and wise, and this scene must be one that will be remmembered foreever.

Brilliant, And Pure Comedy!

[travelmouse]

I love to see Stephen losing it ! I can't stop laughing with him !!!

[darmokthegreen]

I love the bit where Rob Brydon copies everything which Stephen Fry says in order to sound like he knows it all already. "So there you are..."

[johnbalfe1]

fuckin hilarious

[Tjellevejrup]

"It's not four, it's three!"

[youngfreak32]

What do they say about the Acropolis?

[IWantLandingSnow]

Bloody Brilliant! ^^

[asdfTambourine]

The triglyph is a form of skeuomorph. The "click-whirr" of a digital camera is another.

T.

[Loosecrewproductions]

Can I write it down? LOL!

[puhyd]

wheyyyyy

[MissT681]

"... that there are no straight lines!" YES! He made it! :-)

[crouchingk]

Gets me every time when Stephen says, "...no please, my tummy hurts!" As good as t.v. can get - brilliant! ;D

[pantsateria]

They made Stephen do a wee, with their Gilbert and Sullivan song.

[Bolsey3]

where can i see full episodes online?

[01hcirich01]

I saw a news story today about the Acropolis, but couldn't work out where I'd heard it before, until I remembered this!

[DKLabRat]

The show is called QI. It *stands* for Quite Interesting, but that has never been used as the title of the show. It's been QI from the start and still is.

[MrBass208]

This show cracks me right the hell up and this is a textbook example of why

[mskipples]

Spontaneous comedy doesn't get any better than this. In fact..it's perfect.

[mskipples]

Abso-friggin-lutly! Do you know which episode this was by the way?

[tulihein]

Series E, episode 13 (the Christmas compilation).

[DackxJaniels]

@tulihein series e?

[psychobollox]

@mskipples

yep. agreed.

[joshuaoha]

I've seen this clip, like six times. And it still makes my sides split.

[Afterthoughtbtw]

Probably my 4 favourite panelists, can't be surprised they produced such a masterpiece...

Fantastic! :)

[lane0065]

funniest QI moment ever

[snackleforkofemir]

Fantastic!

I like this, the FULL version!

[Opullal]

Dunno how many times I've seen that now...

[christmas5678]
