F S6E12 Extended Version 4/5

[loverofmusic25]

What is the British Cheese Board joke? I don't get it. : (

[Fharad99]

@loverofmusic25 A cheese board is a cutting board for cheese. A board is also an organization dedicated to a particular service or product, such at the State Water Resources Control Board, or Educational Developement Board. Therefore the organizational name Cheese Board is a pun of a cheese board. Pretty cheesy. >.<

[WalterLiddy]

David's cackle at the Piers Morgan joke is priceless.

[ahenmaxtae]

good god. david's laugh at 3.40. :D

[Draxzar]

"Steve. What are you talking about?"

[Stardustian1973]

Such class QI has today!

Oral sex, "fruit machines", semen, and poems about toilets!

XD

[MrJoeyWheeler]

okay, I'm off to bed. Where are my Cheese Strings?!

[MrJoeyWheeler]

That scream of laughter at 2:54 is somewhat horrific and hilarious.

[Noukz37]

"A limping fetus of a joke" hahahaha

[elvee88]

wait a sec, did it say semen on alan tongue card ?

[Serpent0fEden]

According to Penn & Teller's Bullshit, the tryptophan in milk doesn't make you sleep better because you'd have to drink an insane amount of milk to reach the right levels...

[SeventhEve]

@Serpent0fEden And the same is true of the tryptophan in turkey! It's simply a full stomach that makes you sleepy.

[sfshinz]

"Making cheese is not a joke!" Truer words were never spoke.

[RitchyBGone]

Did anyone else take their elbows off the table when Stephen said it

[fritspas]

@RitchyBGone

Of course not, we're no barbarians!

[357Snowball]

@kileXemoXboy there is one. David Mitchell's Soapbox. There on YouTube, or theres a free app for IPods if u want them in order.

[IsaakTheGreek]

Stephen Fry's laugh sounds like a train that pushed hard on the breaks or an old kettle ready to explode!hahahahahaha

[TheLibertyLion]

Manufacturing cheese is not a joke.

[fritspas]

@TheLibertyLion

manufacturing... cheese is just what happens when milk goes off big time stylé!

[lonesomeflower]

Stephen? ...What are you talking about?

[ishopinamsterdam]

cheese board :p still cracks me up

[o0SouthparkGirl0o]

Forgotten Names on the tip of the tongue :D

And "Jam" oh god adorable!! xD ... Alan the little Dormouse on Stephen Fry's neverending Teaparty of general ignorance.

[bandoforlife]

I wonder how many times that French man got slapped...

[0de2Joy]

David: The British Cheese Board... Manufacturing cheese is not a joke!

*Stephen wheezes with laughter*

hahaha :).

[scorpiodncr]

If they ever need someone to stand in for Steven Fry (short or long term), David Mitchell is the ideal candidate.

[Aspire198]

Lol that toilet poem was actually very epic

[ELuhn]

An authentic, spontaneous David Mitchell rant is always such a treat.

[southsydney]

i dont get the British Cheese Board thing. help?

[bullseyegurl]

@southsydney A cheese board is a piece of wood or plastic that you cut cheese on. So it's silly to call an association "the british cheese board"! :P

[allyraskal]

@southsydney A cheese board is a selection of cheeses that you might serve at a dinner. It's so bad that it well and truly deserves Mitchell's rant!

[kileXemoXboy]

This is a brill lineup... And we DO need a "Rant of the Day" from David! Start every day off on a rant. At the very least, he should make it a podcast.

[nitramgnal]

Stephen is really enchanted by David here.

[legspinner]

Piers Morgan - gotta be one of the best forfeits ever, right up there with Janet Street Porter

[isthatanidiot]

@Darral290 It's a pun on the word board, like for a committee and also a board that you cut and serve cheese on.

[Darral290]

Can someone explain why British cheese board is a joke?

[Alexmo555]

@Darral290 Cutting the cheese. Feeble right?

[Eideric]

David Mitchell is in many ways the successor to Stephen Fry, if and when he retires from public life.

[TheGr1mSqueaker]

This is a dream line-up. And it's extended! I am in heaven XD

[Kingofcorrect]

David's laugh is hilarious

[thomatude]

3:42 crazy laugh! (David Mitchell's i think)

[janeeyre1990]

I am going to write that Byron poem on the inside of a stall in the ladies' bathroom at my university's English Building.

[dillonator42]

@janeeyre1990 How bizarre! I was also born in 1990 and wrote Byron's poem on the inside of the mens' bathroom at my university's English Building! Small world!

[Raekwon941]

I never noticed before, but how come no one mentions that Alan wrote semen on the back of the tongue?

[LizzyJH]

@Raekwon941 I think because he said it previously in this episode, they probably felt there was no need to dwell on it as it was already mentioned.

[Raekwon941]

@LizzyJH Ah. What part is it on?

[bangaw79]

"Do anything to avoid that awful, half, limping fetus of a joke!" Mitchell owned this episode, obviously..

[JankeyL]

Oh mommie!

[icutad2]

so you could eat venomous snakes including the venom and be fine? cus otherwise i think that means they're poisonous...

[baileysan75]

@icutad2 The point is that "venomous" refers to a poison that is injected into the bloodstream, whereas "poisonous" refers to the flesh of the snake itself. I imagine that eating the venom sacs of a snake would certainly make you quite ill!

[lilmiznutcase]

David mitchell does seem to be getting more and more irked every day

[dontknowwotyouwant]

@2112murphy In some parts of Britain people do say "ett" all the time. For Our Lord The Fry to use both tells me there me there may be some obscure pronunciation rule, as in 'If I ett....' or 'If you ate..'. Probably, it's just one of those inside rules that tells everyone which posh school you went to. For most of us we can use one, the other or both.

[baileysan75]

@dontknowwotyouwant "Et" as a pronounciation of "ate" used to be an upper class version in the south of England, but also a dialect word in the poorer northern areas. Hence the current choice between the two. The OED lists "et" as the "proper" pronounciation.

[dontknowwotyouwant]

@baileysan75 I'm just reading 'The Stories of English' by David Crystal. It's a weighty tome, but is wonderful in that it traces the history of standard written English along side the spoken and written word of different regions. It covers who and how and where the influences of today's 'Englishes' (?) come from. Just in case you've not come across this work, I can't help sharing news of a good book.

[baileysan75]

@dontknowwotyouwant Thanks! I'll definitely get hold of that one. I'm sure it will come in handy in my professional capacity (Teacher of English)! Another good one on a similar subject is 'Mother Tongue' by Bill Bryson.

[lennic95]

Why does everybody hate this Piers Morgan guy?

[managerie76]

@lennic95 For most of his career, Morgan edited Tabloid newspapers. He would print many alegations and sometimes outright lies about celebrities. He so enraged Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear presenter) that Clarkson punched Morgan 3 times in 2004.

[lennic95]

@managerie76 OK. Well thank you! All those people should be punched by Jeremy Clarkson!

[EliCross]

I can't believe Stephen knew that dirty poem by heart! Oh, wait, I can.

[TaylTube]

David Mitchell looks a bit like St. Thomas Aquinas...I wish somebody on the panel had thought of this! Hilarity, I'm sure, would have ensued...

[leglesstheelf]

I love the rest of David's tongue (weird sentence, but you know what I mean!) It kind of fits my image of him that the four most prominent tastes in his life are cheese, booze, chocolate and fear.

[maarja86]

@leglesstheelf:

And forgotten names.

[bakerstreetbookworm]

haha, Jonathan Creek...

[sausagedogmcgee]

I love David Mitchell.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

The most irritating thing is I see those headlines constantly. Where they absolutely must insert a pun. Why?! Isn't the point to deliver the news, not try comedy?

[Blink182DudeRanch]

@youvebeenthunderstru stop reading 'the sun' then

[theunhappyhours]

"if you're gonna have imaginary friends, why not have loads of em?"

hhahaha <3 jimmy car. thanks for this upload.

[mikeyman211]

That laugh from David Mitchell... 3:39

[sausagedogmcgee]

I didn't think it was a laugh at first, I thought it was part of the siren.

[AndyisLazy]

@sausagedogmcgee haha same, it took me so long to figure it out xD

[greengrendel]

@mikeyman211 I think I heard a zebra there.

[grodderski]

@mikeyman211 how could i have missed that EVERY time i've seen this?!... amazing

[glassoniongirl64]

@mikeyman211 it sounds like a zebra in quicksand!!

[IoEstasCedonta]

"What shouldn't you eat before bed?"

Thunderbeans!

[BigToeNo7]

You know what--somebody needs to give David Mitchell a "Rant of the Day" slot on Radio 4.

[ELuhn]

@BigToeNo7 He has done a series of short bits called "David Mitchell's Soap Box." I think you can find some of them on YT.

[RenDem]

@BigToeNo7 Well he does have his David Mitchell's Soapbox here on youtube

[Astrolounge]

@BigToeNo7 David Mitchell's Soapbox is effectively exactly that, and it's delightful. You can find it on the "Channelflip" website

[baileysan75]

@BigToeNo7 Check out David Mitchell's Soapbox - pretty much a series of 3 minute rants. Very funny stuff.

[FreedomValentine]

@BigToeNo7 Or just an hour of him doing nothing but laughing.

[fritspas]

@BigToeNo7

Yeah or some sort of weekly rant on yourtube, possibly sponsored by some bathroom supplies.

[HcmJames]

@BigToeNo7 He's got one on youtube.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

@BigToeNo7

"David Mitchel's Soapbox" more or less covers that :)

[abrindley123]

@BigToeNo7 like peter griffin's "Grind My Gears" segment!
