QI XL Season H S08E12 Horses & Hunting

[WyrdinWyld]

When black bears attack humans, they are said to be the most vicious and unrelenting in their attack, not giving up and being quite thoroughly determined. In actuality, they're quite deadly creatures.

[WyrdinWyld]

LMAO! I had a girl, ahem, "riding me" try to twitch my top lip...she was in actuality a horse trainer! It was quite evident that she was trying to dominate me. I soon weilded the reigns, so to speak.

[WyrdinWyld]

There is a supposition bandied about which has people under the misconception that it is unlikely to fall on a banana peel. This is quite erroneous. I have seen it happen and have had it happen to myself. It takes the peel to get to that blackened squishy stage, then it is quite slippery indeed! I reason that the "poo in lieau of peel" story via Jimmy is fallacious fact; the refuse and detritus problems as stated, leave little room for doubt that peels were similarly thoughtlessly discarded.

[qotsaandsoadfan1]

This is my favorite tv program, but I've never watched an episode of this on TV.

[mikemurphy383]

A note on the piranha, apparently Roosevelt saw piranha eating a cow. Apparently the indigenous people caught piranha, starved them for a couple of days so that when they threw the cow in the devoured it almost immediately.

[RyanPriceish]

Funny that now, we look back at horse carts and think - it made a huge racket, it created huge amounts of waste and cruel to the animals.

Hopefully, in a few years, a talk show host will refer to our time and current civilization and say - they had huge, loud, clunky metal things, that laid loads of waste into the atmosphere and were cruel to nature!

Hopefully.

[D3w10n]

Than if you clamp a horse lip and put ginger up his rectum, what happens? O.o

[90fitzgerald09]

the new nickfromfulham?

[ilikepie308]

The being of this was extremely Brony.. ^^

[gmoney66]

Wow, is it me, or did Jimmy Carr steal that joke about whale sandwiches from Ronni Ancona?

[zaitesushion]

P.S. The "ginger up your bum" thing was used as a joke on Waiting for God:

Tom: "I don't know what's gotten into Geoffrey!"

Diana: "Sat on some ginger, has he?"

[zaitesushion]

Watching this I realized that Dara and Clare look like siblings: imagine Clare with her head shaved and you can see Dara in the face. XD

[AndTheWailers]

whats with the brits and there floral button ups?

[The505Guys]

"Of our agression"

Poor choice of words Stephen, it was 'American' agression.

[RUBENSolol]

@The505Guys No, it was actually the British in the 18th century who distributed the smallpox infected blankets.

[kostjajack]

no, see, it`s ignOrance, but foreignErs. and in a nutshell that`s the sad part of comments like yours.

[swanyAJ]

wtf foreignors stealing bbc and our licence fee

[KannibalKorpz666]

And one more thanks from Oz

[tetranoob]

I love this show! Thanx from Australia BBC

[UberMan5000]

Clare looks and sounds so sad and vulnerable when she talks about horse stories like War Horse and Black Beauty. They must touch her heart in a special way.

[XxshortbreadxX]

alan davies > karl pilkington

[EshnehGaming]

@XxshortbreadxX

They are funny in different ways, although I could listen to that little manc twat all day.

[LoveHateBlame]

anyone else notice that the ausience didnt laugh at the woman once?

[purpleband]

@LoveHateBlame That was explained in the epsiode 'girls and boys'

[LoveHateBlame]

@purpleband i seen it, it stated that women dont laugh as much at other women im sure theres and equal amount of men in the audience that didnt laugh either, its cause she wasnt funny she was just playing the game.

[dsdepadova]

@purpleband They do laugh when Sandi Toksvig or Jo Brand are on though.

[Keith10284]

I absolutely love this show & the guest line up is always spot on. I don't think I've ever seen a bad episode. Jimmy Carr always has me in stitches & Dara O'Brien is bloody hilarious. As for Clare Balding, she is so fucking hot! I'd love to giddy up her.

[freddie971]

I cannot listen to Jimmy Carr's laugh anymore...

[SrslySmrt]

I can not for the life of me see if that's flowers or My Little Ponies on Alan's shirt.

[xXScarletButterflyXx]

@SrslySmrt Flowers. Pink roses. 

[lilmiznutcase]

Apparently Blue Peter viewers collected enough for two puppies to be trained. God I can't believe I actually looked that up.

[kayper54]

OMG! In middle school my best friend and the whole family moved away to the countryside for the sole purpose of buying her a couple of horses that they could board right there on their own land. (They easily afforded it.) She wasn't that far away but we did lose touch after a few years.

[hbanana7]

I have actually fallen on a banana peel. I laughed at myself afterward.

[gamesbok]

I had to take my pony to the vet because it was a little horse.

[GHOST1130166]

15:57 Oh shit!!! A whose line reference!!

[kiriethecalamity]

now i want to have a Allen my little pony.

[JamieofDover]

Stephen Fry mentions the horrible amount of noise generated by horses' hooves on cobbles.

What he doesn't mention is that, in London (and possibly other places) they combated this by putting down wooden roads. If you go into the disused section of the Kingsway Underpass it still has the wooden road and it looks just like parquet flooring. It's the only place in London that still has it.

Just though that info might suit this show.

[nitsua101]

@JamieofDover probably because he was talking about New York and not London.

[JamieofDover]

@nitsua101 Yeah, though it wouldn't have taken much to mention it, would it?

"While New Yorkers were being deafened by horses, other cities found ways around the problem: in central London, for example, they used wooden roads to muffle the sound."

It's not like QI doesn't move rapidly between places and subjects, is it?

[Hargiwald]

@JamieofDover It's so nice to see a quite interesting and intelligent comment getting the most thumbs up for once, so I'll have to thumb you up as well.

[JamieofDover]

@Hargiwald Thank you. I've never been in the top comments before. I feel quite proud.

[WalterLiddy]

Have you ever seen a guide dog being trained? If you do, you'd agree it is cruel to the animal, at least during that process.

[crouchend524]

Do we have favorite poos now?

[beyondDMC4]

Great now I want a calypso .... :S

[CWScott24]

Please all Citizens of the UK do not base your beliefs of the US on California's law makers.....we think they are stupid here too.

[legspinner]

wouldnt be too keen to test the theory about piranhas not eating your flesh if you swim near them

[legspinner]

strange to see jimmy carr without a jacket on

[Kelennis]

Oh god Clare Balding.

[Vynjira]

I've seen Cats scare off bears..

[InkyBloc]

Hooray, the blind person with the guide horse at 7:07 is wearing a Philadelphia Flyers jacket! Go Flyers!

[247otaku]

27:00 I can't believe they missed the pun! "They Barely growl" XD

[monkeyaround92]

31:53.. I wouldnt mind being Claire :P

[craigberry007]

Which other series would any QI viewers recomment?

So far I have seen and enjoyed: QI, Would I lie to you, Have I Got News for you...

Anybody else got suggestions for others to check out?

[talynkotr]

@craigberry007 I'd recommend 8 out of 10 cats. Jimmy Carr cracks me up.

[thunderchops]

@craigberry007 The Big Fat Quiz Show of The Year, It's not a series, but an annual quiz show at the beginning of each year.

[xapthania]

@craigberry007 Mock the Week...always a fun one

[TheSokwe]

wow full 45 minutes, nice one Wayne.

[kko52200]

Thanks so much for the upload!

[Smallvillefan67]

"Jesus"

That had me cracking up so hard I thought I was going to break a rib. Qi=Best Show Ever.

[eltishia69]

First reaction: :O

Second reaction after the first one passed: "a full episode WOW"

I live for QI! Officially become that amusing person full of facts at cocktail parties ;)

[camp14dogg]

@eltishia69 Or a cock as they are otherwise known.

[soberhippie]

Finally a full episode in one go!

And I really must say that BBC are cool for not insisting on deleting their shows from youtube. Is there any way i can donate to BBC?

[kaizy1]

@soberhippie yep, move to Britain and buy a television, pay the license fee and you have officially donated. ;)

[mpizzle90]

@soberhippie the licencing fee does that for you....and then some... we paid for it to be made; it should be available to us whenever we want to watch it

[Jakyden]

@soberhippie Yes there is. Go buy any BBC owned comedy shows on DVD Box sets.

[soberhippie]

@Jakyden In fact, that is a good idea. I certainly will. Much more affordable than relocating to Britain :)

Thanks ;)

[wandarah]

@soberhippie Are you serious? The BBC are one of the richest corporations on the planet.

[gilli39]

@wandarah I don't think the reason he wants to donate to them is that he thinks they need money.

More like he wants to thank them for not being arses and suing people left and right because they don't understand the internet (like most big corporations).

[RobbieTyler1]

@soberhippie pay your tv licence?

[R13tje]

@RobbieTyler1 she might not be British .. I'm not, and I am VERY happy with the full QI episodes! This show makes even my most miserable of days :)

[soberhippie]

@R13tje What do you mean "She"? I am a bloke! Not British though, i'll give you that :)

[Schpudd]

@soberhippie it's called live in england and pay your TV license, they're funded by the government

[AcroStigma]

@Schpudd Few things irritate me more than the "live in England" so often expressed, you could live in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland... we all pay the license if we own a TV.

I do however support the sentiment expressed by @soberhippie I'm extremely pleased at how little effort the Beeb put into blocking things. I pay my license but it's nice to be able to watch these at a later date.

[Schpudd]

@AcroStigma soberhippies from the US. don't be so fastidious - i was merely stating the bbc is publicly funded. if someone else said 'live in scotland' i wouldn't get butthurt over it

[SpartanStig117]

@soberhippie unfortunately they are not cool anymore

[ebag10]

@soberhippie buy their products I suppose- then they give you a free dvd! (or whatever)

[TheEvilEskimo]

@soberhippie Live in england, pay your tv license XP

[Joxzee]

@TheEvilEskimo That's the joke...

[johnyprestige]

@soberhippie Totally agree, The BBC rule.

[MajorLeeScrewed]

@soberhippie I think they get plenty from the government already.

[rhysieboy999]

@soberhippie

pay your tv license? (:

[chrisryder123]

@soberhippie Your TV License Fee? :p

[hondoLS]

@chrisryder123 We don't have one in America.

[skechyassmofo]

@soberhippie Yeah it's called the TV Licence

[osterianio]

OH MY GOODNESS. FULL LENGTH VIDEO?!?!?

[oisinparis]

I was surprised they didn't mention that muslims use guide horses, as dogs to them are "dirty"

[ShredJK]

The pure spanish horse is the Michael Jackson of the horses

[FearMyPants]

@ShredJK Does it molest smaller horses and hate itself because of the size of its muzzle?

[stonermanpigbird]

another one of the most popular funeral songs is "Another one bites the dust"

[Claudiquant]

I've slipped on an over-ripened banana peel...

[LottLottie]

Awesome for uploading.... :-)

[walksofar]

Alan is full of shit. You can't slip on a banana peel.

[shakehorn]

@walksofar my brother did. Outside his office. Very cartoon-like it was too.

[Wizlyy]

@walksofar Actually I did when I was little (about seven I think). I can tell you I remember it clearly because I almost cracked my head open on some rocks. They really are slippery bastards when they're very riped.

[LMW87MMA]

".....Jesus."

[IamYourEvilOne]

Thank you so much waynesayonara!

YOU HAVE MY SWORD!!!!!!

[ProphetT2534]

I must be dreaming, I swear it says 44 minutes 15 seconds.

THANK YOU, MAN! THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOU.

[thedeevee]

Thanks! and its all in one video :) Can it get more perfect than this?

[LMW87MMA]

Clare looks like she could be the girl from The xx (Romy)'s mother

[Andraste77]

Wish Alan Davies was MY little pony.

[Tricodin]

Lame, its the same quote at the end and one he used in an earlier show.

[Ezhuks]

@Tricodin Did he ? Can you tell what episode was it, please, since I can't remember it being mentioned before ?

[Tricodin]

@Ezhuks Episode 3 in the A season

[SethWreckLollis]

Every time he says "calm a horse down", I keep thinking llama crimp. 

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

@SethWreckLollis

Is it sad I know the crimp by heart?

[SethWreckLollis]

@DontTouchMyVicodin

....Well, I do, too, so if it is, let's be sad together!

[Nirvanazwerg]

@SethWreckLollis calm a llama down, calm a llama deep down in the ocean... XD

[belialjones]

@SethWreckLollis as it should be, my friend, as it should be. the boosh would be proud. :)

[cupotrevor]

thanks for this..much love from the states!

[HeartlessConservativ]

I'm liking the one video. Now I can let it buffer once, sit back and enjoy the interestingness.

[Conwayn00b]

I saw it the other night, but watching it again can't hurt!

[aznterrorist52]

thanks for the upload!!

[Powsser]

Wow! How did you get it all in one video?

[TorlexBlog]

@Powsser New youtube thing for people who follow the rules.

[themeankanin]
