This isn't true btw... it was a practical joke played by some British scientist, fooled almost everyone with it. He was working with The Royal Society at the time.
@nejtilsvampe And "Getting off" is orgasm-ing, basically. But what he was actually saying was, when it's hot, and you can't get to sleep (get off), so you're restless (tossing, as in tossing and turning).
@morthasa Miller and Brydon are often confused for one another. They appeared together on an episode of QI dressed very similarly and simulated a passionate kiss. I imagine that is what was being referenced in the previous comment.
@lincolndcg That is Rob Brydon you fool. Ben Miller is the other one you are thinking of... please look it up before posting stupid replies. I am with @morthasa here.
@patient451 you forgot the office. lol i find the american one better, but that is really it. i like the british humor anymore it seems, i don't know why. as for what you said about whos line is it anyways, I agree, but only because of the people involved, I suppose they played on the uk version aswell so... not in the prime tho.
Gosh, how many times I've watched this bit, I still enjoy the look on Alan's face after "one a second"... It so sums up their relationships... "I couldn't sink as low as Stephen's expectations of me" :))))) hilarious, hellishly cute and a little unfair :)
Now, that's the best one liner of Q1 bar none!

I love how every member of the bench has their turn giving Rob a downgrading glance, or in Sandi's case, an extremely funny comment.
Great stuff.

@nejtilsvampe English slang for masturbation is "Tossing"... Figure the rest out for yourself.
