How did the hehe tribe get its name? - Qi - BBC

[MegaMidgetNinja]

Lol Jo Brand looked relieved after telling that Monkee's gag

[mdtalley]

Thanks for posting in the worst possible video quality.

[BackslideDan]

I was a bit worried we wouldn't get the answer to the hehe tribe name thing...

[Singetally]

A friend of mine hates british comedy because he said they drag on each joke and he wants to move on to the next joke already...I for one love that they can keep one topic so funny for so long!

[atomicmrpelly]

Just noticed Alan's "Bank", that was quite funny, shame it went un-noticed!

[TheDefiantBadger]

I'm so glad they didn't resort to the obvious jokes.

[limbotoobobo]

Racist bitch

[rowanhello1]

wow jimmy carr used to be tubby :p

[MiG2880]

See comment below.

[bugert123]

another stupid answer

we asked my mate Ghandi's first name he said dave

[BenUNPHASED]

1:34 Look behind Jo to the right, anybody else find that worthy of a giggle?

[TheodorEriksson]

"India and Spain" Haha.

[nomsdeguerre]

I kid you not a friend of mine First Name is HiHi, I don't want to give away his last name... out here... but it rhymes as well.

[133maxiboy]

@nomsdeguerre

HiHi ByeBye?

[nicksponge]

so they would yell HEEHEE?

[Follovvth3dream]

shit jimmy car looks fat

[59211bart]

@Follovvth3dream was thinking the same thing

[natkli65]

"Name a bird with a long neck"  "Naomi Campbell" ! LOL!!!

[SC1337]

i adore that woman

[SkyFortStudios]

@exoticarfan Haha to brits are epic. I've never heard it put that way. But you might be right.

[wladwlad]

it's [xunta] , jimmy, tough luck when talking about people being stupid

[FortheHorde1546]

This tribe must've loved Michael Jackson -who would often times cry out "HE-HE" as he danced. XD

[viridismonasteriense]

alan: "Bank!" did anyone else catch that?

[DCdabest]

Resiting German colonisation? These guys are hard as fuck!

[thepopesmybitch]

thumbs up if you went on the family fortunes site that alan mentioned

[andymc24]

love the casual racism when jo brand equates a tribe with monkeys

[Szaam]

@andymc24 Yeah, that's clearly what she was doing...

[Dites1954]

@andymc24

You must be from the planet Political Correctness. She was talking about the Monkees!

[andymc24]

@Dites1954 I'm not saying she's some malicious racist, but I mean if that's not what she was really saying then where's the joke? Just rewatch it and try to figure out where the humour is. You reckon she just took the word 'hehe' and said 'that sounds a bit like 'hayhay which is from a song by a 60s band'?? Real funny Jo NAAAAT

[Charlienmeg]

@andymc24 "Hey hey we're the Monkees". Got it yet? Go google it for heavens sake before you make a bigger idiot of yourself.

[andymc24]

@Charlienmeg see above comment

[Charlienmeg]

@andymc24 OK - if you want to be humourless and see racism where absolutely none exists, then that's your perogative. Still makes you look a bit of a tit though.

[TheYoo2b]

@andymc24 No she's referencing the band, The Monkees, not the animal. what you're suggesting wouldn't even make sense as a joke.

[lairdfoundation]

I saw that Family Fortune's when I was a kid.

[FogiTofu]

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe­hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe­hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe­hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe­hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe­hehehehehehe! I ARE FEARED!!!!

[sasquatch268]

How are you afraid of: HE HE, HE HE HE?

[retrogamerist]

The day Alan Davies laughs at you for being stupid, is the day you fall from a ladder and get brain damage.

[IAmTheMohawkWarrior]

Because all they had to watch was QI. :D

[mrcoleman1991]

I was half expecting a micheal jackson joke lol

[nikanj]

With a warcry like hehe, i think the Germans avoided them because they were afraid of getting sodomised.

[nekontears]

family feud:

(round 1 first question):

Q: name an animal with 3 letters in it's name:

1st contestants answer: Frog

2nd contestants answer: Crocodile

answer that would have gotten them the most points: Dog

[MakenzieLpk]

 At 1:10 it says bumbash behind jo haha

[connorp2402]

@MakenzieLpk hehe well spotted lol

[ewebb16]

haha i love how at the end it just turns into a conversation rather than a gameshow, makes great

[pennygoo]

"junta" is not "gunta" it's pronounced "hunta" JEEZ

[Deuling1]

@pennygoo Don't you mean "Heez"? :P

[pennygoo]

@Deuling1 hahahaha yes XD

[LisaJJMerry]

i can't believe the BBC uploaded this video themselves at the worst quality possible

[StudentKnickers]

@LisaJJMerry They uploaded it in 2008, that was probably the best quality possible at that point in time. 

[whade62000]

Well if I was a person in the German military and I saw a bunch of half naked people galopping towards me going "hee...hee" I know I'd piss myself a little.

And then the second wave comes and they are like..."haa haa haa"...and then the third and all are "ho ho ho"...I probably would run away screaming.

[DontSigh]

"Hehe!". That doesn't make me want to run away from them and leave the scary tribe alone, that makes me want to go over there and cuddle them.

The hehe people... Naaw.

[AnonymousReasons]

Here is the website mentioned at 1:40 { jmm . aaa . net . au/articles/21264.htm }

[Emu1gmx]

I love how the british say "the germans" it allways has that littel tone! xD

[BrisbaneAtheists]

This show is SO British you can almost smell the warm beer and mint sauce...

[Ratoscruvy]

lol my name is Zahir (pronounced the same way).

[DannyFox06]

Fuck off King Arthur.

[CautiousDiffusion]

What are the two countries you can see atop Mount Kilmonjarro?

[Fepe55]

@CautiousDiffusion Kenya and Tanzania

[martinthomas1980]

@CautiousDiffusion India and Spain, of course.

[MajikkaniHand]

@thenewblink182 I guess you could take it like that, but I suspect they weren't thinking that way when they said it. Fry, for one, is so incredibly polite most of the time that I simply cannot imagine him laughing at a joke he thought of as racist. Also, the band she referenced (the Monkees) are white to the point of perfect light reflection. XD

[rwtj01]

1:53 Jimmy is robbed of a laugh, and he knows it

[twgoldwood]

damn, quitting smoking is tough

[KingTigern]

haha

[NickyLess]

a "hehe" war cry? Was Michael Jackson the chief? :S

[martinlisitsata]

I can not believe how stupid can be BBC

[Backdrop2772]

@martinlisitsata it would be better if you phrased that intelligently :D

[GropeTheFatOstrich]

@martinlisitsata Impeccably eloquent.

[harpersneil]

"it's the Democratic Republic of Congo... it's not 'that' Democratic though is it?" Absolute Sarcasm gold!!! Brilliant stuff!

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

yea the democratic republic of congo isnt democratic and its not a republic. the same way the people's republic of china isnt conservative and lax with government restrictions. they have nice names, but in reality are utter shit.

[shomitb]

wow jimmy carr really did lose weight..

[OFrazzle]

times are changing

[andyrooney12]

In 8th grade I took an advanced government course and my instructor asked the class, "What is the name of the intern that worked for Congressman Gary Condit and later disappeared?" I had slept very little the night before because I was studying a lot but I knew the answer so I raised my hand & said, "Sandra Bullock". About half a second immediately after I said that I realized what an idiotic answer that was. If you don't know the answer it's Chandra Levy...I don't know why I said Sandra Bullock

[prtky]

the knits that say NI leave next door to those...

[hardinmichael1981]

Semper Fi - HEHE

[Thekaiserwill]

the hehe people made me say hehe

[TheHeroInDisguise]

I'd get scared if I was in a fucking foreign land and everywhere you go you hear Hiehie! I'd run the fuck out.

[MrPeteandhelen]

i said knok knok someone said ' ill get it '

[yoshimitsu1001]

india and spain, hahaha

[TheWiseTeenGirl]

I hate how he says " The Germans" at 2:45 .

The war is over with, move on.

[freethis222]

@TheWiseTeenGirl Actually I don't think he meant meant anything by that. It appears to me he sometimes draws out the last word before a follow-on sentence.

[ElKierano]

1:11 bumbashi is a place behind Jo's head

[IcEye89]

On the german version of the weakest link the candidate was asked to name a black and yellow insect. He said Giraffe.

Also quite nice is the answer to the question which chocolate bar shares it's name with a planet and a roman wargod. Snickers.

[33dgtp]

@IcEye89 Because it's made by Mars.

[andrewhenman]

How fat was Jimmy Carr?!

[fishcrazy104]

bank lol

[ArestoManifesto]

I'm going to look for that family fortunes website now :)

[trlkly]

What I wonder is what the wrong answer was supposed to be. Or does there not have to be one?

I would guess it was if someone assumed it came from laughter.

[nerdlass]

End of this video, did anyone recall the Monty Python skit with the joke that killed, being used against the Nazis during WWII? Or is my humor just too obscure for me to be the only one that giggled?

[ElveeKaye]

"Name a dangerous race."

The Iditerod? The Marathon? Rush-hour traffic?

[throwingknifeladd]

yea michael went to africa and the hehe tribe was born

[ahdeath2007]

Hehe tribe war cry: Hehe, ow, chomon mother fucker.

[AlioH89]

love jimmy carr's laugh!

[sexyeamo]

she is so racist against black people, calling them all monkeys!

[ahdeath2007]

@sexyeamo she didnt mean it like only a person with a racist mind would point that out

[ElijahsImpact]

@sexyeamo That joke just went completely over your head didn't it?

[Szaam]

I love it when Jo cracks up before finishing an intentionally shit joke XD

[stealthunter14]

at 2:30 Alan says "bank!" Which I found hilarious but no one on the show seemed to notice

[xarriluseth]

so when they charge you had a wild gang of warriors giggling like girlscouts? i'd pay to see that!

[Rachiejane1]

Why do people need the joke explaining all the time? It just ruins it and makes the joke unfunny

[BobTheMunificent]

It's a common misconception that the French words in English were adopted from Norman French after 1066. Linguistics shows that Norman French had almost no effect on English whatsoever. The French words you see in English today (except some legal terms) were adopted hundreds of years later during a period when all the languages of Europe started borrowing words from each other. Yes, I have heard lectures on the subject and can confirm that a lot of what people think they know is incorrect! :)

[eknova]

I don't understand why everyone seems to have these arguments about whose English is proper. Languages evolve over time, that's what they do. There is no right or wrong way to a language, as long as it has its intended effect--to communicate. :)

[Soviet20]

@eknova Then American English...de-evolved? XD

[eknova]

@Soviet20 There's no such thing as a language de-evolving. :) It changes, that's simply it. Brits don't speak Elizabethan English anymore, and Americans speak their own variant of it because languages grow. They're subject to change based on different conditions. Like Canadian French is different than French French, America English is different than English English.

[bunkmasterflex]

i think she realized that hey hey were the monkeys line was a little racist at the last moment....oops

[MysticYoYo]

@bunkmasterflex - No, I think she realized she was making a lame joke. BTW, it's "Hey, Hey we're the Monkees".

[bunkmasterflex]

@MysticYoYo You felt the need to correct the punctuation on that one line Youtube comment. It must make you feel so much better about the miserable little life you carry on day to day. i fired off a quick little statement in a few minutes before i left for work about how it can be funny when someone realizes the possible context their statement could be taken in but off course you an e-troll had to bound out of the darkness "im not letting him get away with this " he said with a pathetic roar

[MysticYoYo]

@bunkmasterflex - Wow, you have a LOT of anger over a YouTube post. I wasn't correcting your punctuation; I only posted my comment it because I wasn't sure if you knew she was referring to "The Monkees" (a band from the late 60's) and not "monkeys" the primates. I wasn't trying to "bound out of the darkness" to prevent you from "getting away with anything." Relax, enjoy. Not everyone is out to get you. BTW, I'm a female. Peace.

[bunkmasterflex]

@MysticYoYo Sorry for an the unnecessary anger just never check the messages on this thing and thought your's was about the twentieth nitpicking over insignificant things, i hadn't even noticed i misspelled "Monkee's". I though you were taking the time to tell me its hey hey not he he. As well sorry about the gender centered remark, i just assumed probably correctly that the aforementioned correction would only be done the most tediously arrogant and self involved of men.

[MysticYoYo]

@bunkmasterflex - Ha! It's so easy to misunderstand something on message boards. You string a coherent sentence and can spell (and let's face it, many don't online) so I had no beef with you. (It's the hate and racist comments that get me riled up.) Glad we cleared that up. :)

[bunkmasterflex]

@MysticYoYo I think that youtube should ban coommentscontaining words based solely on disrespect. As well one should be prevented from making comments if ten requested to be removed comments on your account and cest person's email would be banned. I am a caucasian canadaian but I've heard enough blatantly ignorant hate to last me a lifetime

[MysticYoYo]

@bunkmasterflex - I agree. Posts based on disrespect, not disagreement but DISRESPECT, should be banned or removed. And also points should be taken off for bad grammar and spelling. :-)

[MysticYoYo]

@bunkmasterflex - No, I think she realized she was making a lame joke. (BTW, it's "Hey, Hey we're the Monkees". )

[darkshad109]

Fry should be on the next celeb weakest link.

[matais1]

don't I pay for a tv license so I don't get these adverts?

[daviesuk89]

@matais1 Youtube can be viewed from around the world by people who don't pay a license. Just press f5 to skip it

[Regius101]

spain?

[medea1990]

Jo, you're terrific!

[Crispears1]

whoa carr has lost a lotta weight!!!

[hamham934]

I was thinking some one woould say Michael Jackson

[54321Ahem]

@hamham934 me too! lol.

[EpicPlaythroughs]

@hamham934 Lol, thats exactly what I was thinking, I can't beleive that you thought of the same thing as me =P

[mandragorra]

@hamham934 Oh, I was hoping that too. Too bad.

[USSCannonFodder]

@hamham934 It'd hilarious if that was a forfeit.

[Musclehustle]

I absolutely love Jo's laugh at 22 seconds - hilarious!

[iamboredok]

"hehe!"

What a scary war cry. :)

[DeathSlayer2]

Before they were known as the Coochie Coo tribe

[Dhesyca]

@iamboredok If a bunch of people dressed up and painted for battle were laughing their asses off as they were charging me, I'd be scared shitless.

[chrisjg210]

@iamboredok its not "hehe!" its "HEEEEEE HEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"

[Xanatos712]

@iamboredok They'd just mock their opponents to death. Reminds me of highschool.

[Nyraeve]

@iamboredok it reminds me of "the knight who say 'Ni!'"

[zeeslag123]

@Nyraeve I was thinking the exact same thing! British comedy FTW :)

[Xanatos712]

@iamboredok They mocked their enemies to death.

[arrghgarry]

ricky tomlinson gag the best

[CoDCopsProductions]

I thought I may make myself look silly asking that one ;)

[0Trashion0]

Mount Kilimanjaro is right on the border between Tanzania and Kenya, which is generally a well known fact (no offence meant).

India and Spain is funny because not only is Mount Kilimanjaro in neither of them, they're thousands of miles away from each other, they aren't even in the same continent.

[alexmiddleton4]

Because their on the different sides of the world.

[Maverician]

It's funny in the absurdity of that they are both very far away (5000km+).

[trisiti]

Its a really really foul answer. That's why.

[Szaam]

this was on dave yesterday. jo brand is hilarious in this episode.

"hay-hay we're the monkees" and "india and spain" absolutely kill me XD

[somguy33]

0:48 is that Jimmy Carr?

[Stryka6]

Yes.

[duffer87]

yes

[TheTommieboi]

@somguy33 yes

[heyawhaw]

the hehe tribe??? ... I think I'm fainting!

Is that the African equivalent of "the knights who say NI!" in Monthy Python's Holy Grail?

[SuperTravisbickle]

i found that family fortunes website. name a domestic animal? leopard. classic lol

[chicken7555]

please dont ever try to be funny again

[johnnyvi]

Kilimanjaro is in africa, while spain is in europe and india is in asia(that general direction:P). usually when somebody asks what 2 countries can you see from a point it are 2 countries which are next to each other, which is clearly not the case here. The lack of geographical knowledge was the joke here;)

[killath303]

Yes, its funny because the answer to the question was so incorrect and stupid, it was hilarious.

[Goolz]

/facepalm

[Arcangelchaps]

cause it's so wrong

[mooncowtube]

Yes, you couldn't get a much more hopeless pair of guesses, particularly because the two countries she named are so far apart from each other, never mind from Kilimanjaro. So it's funny just because she was so way off.

[bulked]

ummmmmmmmm----------------are you serious

[LambOfGodSabina]

Ricky who? I'm sorry for being irrelevant, haha.

Hilarious clip.

[ViolentRunning]

Ricky Tomlinson, lead actor in UK sitcom the Royle Family.

[LambOfGodSabina]

Ohhh okay, thanks. :)

[Cranxa]

LAMB OF GOD FTW! :D

[20robo09]

they might of just laughed alot

[TheNJerk]

see they laugh in the face of danger

hehe

[Re5Publica]

If you didn't understand, they were talking about silly and ridiculous answers given by people on "Family Fortunes" which was a game show.

[andrewshd]

As in what is the most dangerous sporting race but the person who gave the answer misunderstood the question you twerp

[boardluva108]

What is the mans name withh the curly hair?

[youbecame]

Alan davis? The guy whose on most QI episodes?
