QI-4.12 What were Stephen and Hugh doing in the kitchen?

[SNICKERFACED]

"they overheard us being amusing in the kitchen" made me laugh so hard, I'm not even sure why X D

[Thesixthgoon]

"Is that Hugh is it? Right, I'm telling!" I find that adorable.

[Llynok]

Alright.

Goes on the list of worst quality, ever.

[Cleo4696]

the hugh laurie impression was spot on!

[viridismonasteriense]

did they ever get Paul Whitehouse on QI? That would be fun to watch

[ElijahsImpact]

I know what I WANT them to be doing in the kitchen.

[candymandy224]

@ElijahsImpact YES! So I'm NOT the only one who ships them!

[ElijahsImpact]

@candymandy224 Oh no, not the only one at all :)

[PollyJuice]

Eeeeek, what terrible quality! :(

[FranBMan]

@PollyJuice Oh calm down, at least it's there ;)

[pdaervo]

I love the way Stephen says, "I'll tell him." What a precious human being :3

[44371213]

being amusing.

[snowyalice]

Phil is doing the Melchett baas. LOL.

[ishopinamsterdam]

@yeahhmovelikethat you should hear him do eddie izzard :p if you close ur eyes it's almost like it is him, untill the real eddie izzard throws a water bottle on the stage :p

[mintlou]

sound is really terrible!

[jusfuknwidya]

Tom Jones father was my mother milkman back in Wales and Tom as a kid used tyo tag along now and then and put the bottle on the doorstep so his father could drive the lil truck... was way before he was a known singer ofcoarse

[greengrendel]

what season is this? I like seeing the silly one with his hair long.

[killarklan]

@greengrendel you mean alan davis? he's in every episode

[kafata1]

@killarklan Yeah, he means he likes seeing him with long hair

[galahad2025]

My favourite idea= originally House wanted to follow the Sherlock Holmes theme even more by giving House a smarter brother, who was going to be played by Stephen Fry!

[medea1990]

@galahad2025 You're joking, aren't you? That would be terrific!

[Quarks16]

@galahad2025 Well, we know house's father wasn't his real father, so he may have a brother we don't know jet. There is still hope.

[AvalaDemson]

@galahad2025 Ok, firstly that would be awsome XD but mycroft is so not smarter than sherlock lol :)

[kafata1]

@AvalaDemson Oh, but he is. He just doesn't use them like Holmes does :p

[40019974]

@AvalaDemson he is, by far, sherlock even admits it and describes his brain as a supercomputer, hes just lazy and cant be bothered to solve cases

[ArisuObscurity]

Jesuuuuus Phil's impression. Scary.

[AnnaMcBanana]

Karl Pilkington has a head like a fucking orange

[vaudevilleUK]

@AnnaMcBanana How random. He does though.

[tominator999]

They should really get Hugh Laurie on the show. It would be so good.

[xdd91x]

@tominator999 He appeared on the first ever episode of QI. Just watched myself, he came 2nd! woo!

[Tamashi88]

can anyone tell me what episode this is from?

[iTrekz]

@Tamashi88 - Series D - Domesticity

[GrandiaKnight]

Still maintain Phil Jupitas is the best guest to have on QI!

[CheesyAbs6]

@GrandiaKnight jupitus along with rob brydon, bill bailey and/or david mitchell

[nobodyknowsmenow]

"Me and my friend shared a house"?? STEPHEN!

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@nobodyknowsmenow It does sound a little dodgy, doesn't it? But in a good way.

[DragonBleu01]

@nobodyknowsmenow And Stephen is REALLY gay??? For real life?

[handsdown101]

@DragonBleu01 Yes. For real life.

[DragonBleu01]

@handsdown101 Oh ok... i wish he is with Hugh Laurie *giggles*

[remebeau]

Phill's interpretation of Steven's "Bahaha!" never fails to touch me.

[falulatonks]

Is that Jess Stevenson? Love her. :D That's her and Hugh Laurie briefly in the same clip! - my life has been made! :P

[jordyboy321]

lol phils impression of hugh laurie is funny as fuck

[DCdabest]

@jordyboy321

You laugh when you fuck?

[PrincessPotato]

Phil's impression of Hugh made me lose it. Fan freaking tastic.

[IoEstasCedonta]

@PrincessPotato It's a pity he doesn't sound like that anymore... even when he's not doing the "House" accent, even before that started, really, his voice has gotten a lot more... nondescript.

[chrisahc]

WTF are comedians on these shows writing stuff down all the time for? Like Phil at 20.00 - the end.

Like they think of a joke and have to write it down quickly :)

[SirEschaton]

I believe the contestants are encouraged to write down all the Quite Interesting things they learn during the show.

[Ohfishyfishyfish]

For this episode I think they had to make a drawing during the episode and present it at the end. Can't for the life of me remember what they were supposed to be drawing though.

[Blacknarcissa]

Phil Jupitus is so good at impressions!

I never noticed this before.

His impression of Eddie Izzard is hilarious also!

[PolverUnK]

Please somebody could write down all this? i'm not an english mother tongue, and for some reason I can't understand what Stephen said about things in the kitchen.

[warning05]

He says that Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson overheard them being amusing in the kitchen

[Flossie710]

I tkink he says "as we were musing in the kitchen"? I could very well be wrong though.

Or "well wrong" lol.

[lheathblue]

@Flossie710 Stephen says they overheard us being amusing in the kitchen.

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

Don't worry. Most Americans have the same problem.

[TossTheParadox]

The question we always have waited for has been answered... though I expected the answer to be 'tomato sauce' and 'extra cheese'.

The reply was good enough, and the Bertie impression was very impressing... like they had replaced Phil with Hugh.

[andgadoline]

omg alans hair!

[colleenbelle]

Y'know, Hugh Laurie's actually on season 1 episode one of QI....

[Enethelia]

This is series D episode 12. :)

I have seasons A, B and C on dvd and I don't think there are more because I've been looking for them with no luck. I really hope they'll release more QI on dvd soon...

[ilurrvemusic]

whoa! alans hair got LONG!!

[mariamn1990]

This is how I think of Hugh Laurie and it's so weird that my roommate thinks he's sexy because of House.

[wildste]

So what does she think of him in Blackadder?

[mariamn1990]

She's probably never even heard of Blackadder. I go to school in the middle of nowhere, America.

[wildste]

Typical. Well tell her about Blackaddder and see if you can watch a few episodes. Skip season 1 as its rubbish

[mariamn1990]

I hope that "typical" wasn't you having a go at Americans because after having grown up all over the world, I can tell you that Americans are certifiably the nicest and most polite people on the planet. They just don't know too much about British TV shows.

[wildste]

That was all my typical was about. I am just annoyed when Americans have no idea when a British actor is actually famous for doing something else in their home country.

A good example would be Patrick Steward, who as we all know is Captain Pichard and Prof X, but he was also a famous Shakespearean actor in the UK

[LittleBoiFen]

That was a very good Bertie impression...I wonder if Hugh's seen it...

[henrycrumm]

they overheard us being amusing in the kitchen

LOL

[DeepWordsThroughOak]

The impression the man did of Hugh was eerie similar to Hugh's voice. Wonder if he has practised... It's always fun to got a glimpse of their former life...

I wish so much that they could do something together again. I read somewhere that they should do an anniversary episode of Blackadder, but I don't know if it's a rumour or true. But if it's true - great! Otherwise, I think somewhere in the near future, Fry should do a guest-appearance on House.

[doctorcropcircles]

You have [at the moment of my posting] 20 thumbs up for that... I rally want Fry to guest appear in House.

[KeladryL]

We'd all love to see Stephen on House. He even has a character ready to go; if Fox would do a crossover, he could play his character from Bones, Dr Gordon Wyatt. (A friend even went so far as to say that the psychiatrist House saw a few episodes ago was Dr Wyatt, and she won't believe it wasn't until the show proves her wrong.)

[NotaFro]

That would be great!

[RIPdementia]

Hah, that's a great story, it sounds like something the fangirls would make up... I wonder what they were doing in the kitchen.

[FranBMan]

That Hugh Laurie was spot on.

[goodget07]

If you like this impression have a look at phil doing eddie izzard. It's uncanny

[newbornfuture]

his impression is amazing!

[DynamiteKid156]

Yeah but it's not an impression of Hugh, it's an impression of Hugh playing a character!

[KagariAsuha]

An impression of Hugh playing Berdie Wooster to be precise. :3

[SMacConmidhe]

Bertie, to be precise.

[oywidapoodles]

The Hugh impression is hilarious!

[ConaHemmi]

same!

[GARY2288]

He's British, not american and he never will be, although the producer of the show thought he was a new american actor and had no idea he had a 20 or so year career over here, he is fantastic in it though.

[lewys93]

There is NOTHING American about Stephen Fry, he's one of the Great British icons!

[fairygrrrl]

I think they were discussing Hugh Laurie, who I believe is in a television show called 'House' in America.

I am loving Phil Jupitus' impression of Hugh in this.

[Isanion]

Jupitus always suprises me at just how good he can be sometimes; that impression was uncanny.

[wolfxbloed]

He did the best Eddie Izzard impression I'd ever seen, and this one is top-knotch as far as Wooster goes.

[everyonedoesit2]

Haha yeah when he's talking about light sabers and toast. Genius stuff!

[bindiyay]

and having water-bottles thrown at you lol

[silentgreytiger]

Learn to share!

[strangeclock]

good lord, way to downvote a harmless joke, people.

[PowerRangerMegaTent]

whahahahahaha he's waaay too intelligent to be an american

[johnrichards2008]

....since when is he suddenly american?

[youvebeenthunderstru]

That was a PERFECT Hugh Laurie impression.

[bluevitriol]

Hey, that was a good imitation of Hugh's voice! :)

[bemoreunique]

And a good imitation of Stephen's fake laugh.

[james0225]

spending your time studying at Cambridge and being amusing in the kitchen as one half of a comic duo, can there be a better life?

[DYBx]

Fifthed!

[Sournote89]

Fourthed! :)

[HotlipsPierce]

May I also overhear Stephen and Hugh being amusing in the kitchen?

[Abraxas47]

I second that request.

[FryLaurieFanGirl]

Thirded :P
