[nimfijntje]

[Bayoneter]

So this is what MJ was reincarnated into.

[ketchuph8r]

Is that Frye?

[IDWIA]

Lol why is "butbuddies" in the Tags?

[suresh091076]

I almost dropped down laughing seeing this weird bird doing this moonwalk. I still laugh when I see this bird do the move!

[areyousatisfied]

I think this particular species is a red-capped manakin :)

[CaptainGallifrey]

I now have a favorite bird ...

[DropDeadCurious]

well we now know where Jackson got his moonwalk from

[sowutsurpoint]

[Torn80cj]

Looks more like that dance MC Hammer does. One crazy awesome bird.

[unipal390x]

[MrKcspot]

[Smytik]

That bird is possessed by Michael Jackson. :D

[1madhammer]

thumbs up if you laugh EVERY time you see the bird dance!

[redursa03]

That is the smoothest moving bird I have ever seen.

[ThePathofenlightment]

how can 9 people hate this?

[m1grant1987]

It get's funnier every time, so true.

[1madhammer]

Never Not Funny!

[evilegg288]

"I think it will give you pleasure..."

You have to admire the sort of show where a bird can get a round of applause.

[Terastas]

0:22 = "Stop! Hammer-time!"

[chestypants78]

"Though shalt not question Stephen Fry" Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip.

[LudicrousPlatypus]

@chestypants78 Actually there are types of Hummingbirds that make sounds by diving then spreading their wings which produces a whistle I hat to say it as a Fry-follower myself but He got something incorrect.

[sumrandombing666]

Lol i'm watching it now too

[xiLP91ix]

@sumrandombing666 I've just watched the repeat

[MrsFandiddlytastic]

[lyxmellanrost]

[donjohnson007able]

I dance like this!!!

[Loneleyworm]

It's MC hammer!!! :D

[RegenerationStorm]

wtf michael jackson did not sing "A Night To Remember" And I thought this was an intelligent program -.-

[MikeHuntagape]

@RegenerationStorm Jacko didn't invent the moonwalk.. he just made it better

[leehuas]

@RegenerationStorm

If you listened properly, Shalamar sang it and Bill Bailey invented the moonwalk

[MattytheHattyMan]

@RegenerationStorm they'd been singing the song at any possible opportunity in the episode, that was a perfect timing... i know, watched it yesterday :D

[PeterR132]

"A worm bodypopping."

Surely a worm would do "The Worm"?

[ferrarirx]

manikin bird is my favorite bird now :L

[Keenanbo]

what a funny bird

[HLY66]

I watch this one today, I laughed my head off when they Bill and Alan sung 'Night To Remember' before this hilarious Manakin came on and they were off again. XD

[fairhillnorrie]

just saw it now on QI... AMAIZING... great show..

[Dalley100]

[Pochinu]

Why didn't I think of that? The worms doing the popping while Manakin Bird do the moonwalking!! xD

[AllForOneOneForAll10]

[xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx]

[elmothesex]

you asked when birds have nationality.

you will find penguins in one place.

[xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx]

WTF?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SurrealityCheck]

Actually there's penguins in the Galapagos, lol.

[elmothesex]

i totally ment polar bear!!

[adylou]

That may be MJ doing the moonwalk, but when the bird goes sideways it's MC Hammer and Hammer time!

[Ciclotronico]

This bird is in extinction. Maybe this is the last one.

[WilliamJazzCat]

If that's true.. then who could he possibly be dancing for?

[NotADood]

maybe there's a female manakin off-camera somewhere

it really cracks me up when it does the sideways moonwalk

[Gilberth]

its a peruvian bird!!

[xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx]

it doesn inhabit Peru and...since when birds have nationality?

[smudzi]

MJ may be dead, but as long as we protect nature, the moonwalk will live

[6gradewillkillme]

[lankyman0909]

I have never seen such an amazing thing EVER!!!! god went crazy when creating this

[missusmadness]

If you watch the rest of the episode, Fry talks about how it can whistle with its wings, and someone goes, "sometimes, you can be a bit *too* talented." It cracked me up!

[sasuke12468]

[rheanna7]

British comedians are masters at not being funny.

[sindr0ne]

You are a master of writing comments that make people hate you and i hope you die in a fire.

[jossiqua]

[tombraidertrailerman]

XD i agree with you

[sarahclare]

[NuclearGroundhog]

[gorham120]

[Thetenwhos]

I love seeing this.

Best animal ever lol

Go mannakin bird! lol

[Flyingspud247]

it's spelled manakin by the way. No offense to you or anyone, but i don't think the bird likes being referred to as a headless dress-up doll.

[loupylou111]

[mizzalien]

[gonainie]

"I think this will give you pleasure."

[bookworm1965]

ha ha hoo

[snicket101]

Steven Fry was actually voted the 3rd wittiest person in England 1st was oscar wilde

I forget who the 2nd was and the fourth was Jeremey Clarkson

[ladymelde]

The second was Spike Milligan, I believe. Stephen is deservingly in good company.

[MysteriousBob]

Good list that, I must agree with it.

[biggieboy2510]

Jeremy Clarkson?? that guy from Top Gear? what the hell...

[mcr0311]

Its Stephen Fry...

[missusmadness]

If this book were a book . . . it'd be . . . a book! -- Bill Bailey on Jeremy Clarkson

[simond10]

Stephen Fry needs to be the king of this great country!

[OlaftheFlashy]

Hell yeah! All hail King Stephen Fry!

[paulbottomley42]

Looks like we've the makings of a popular movement :D

Wasn't a relative of his offered the monarchy of Albania?
