QI - Alan Davies's buzzer

[blondemario]

Thumbs up if you can play this on your piano/keyboard

[enistoja]

The song is Dudley Moore's Beethoven Sonata Parody, here: watch?v=GazlqD4mLvw

(Thank you for uploading this for easy-access hilarity!)

[Deeshlomo123]

I wish this was my doorbell

[th3d3storoy3r]

1:30 for the buzzer

[butters369]

That is my doorbell.

[JoeLaTurkeyIII]

This is like a Family Guy joke

[floydfanTN]

@JoeLaTurkeyIII except funny

[silarnon]

@JoeLaTurkeyIII Family Guy wish they were this clever.

[Janovjev]

what's the name of that song?O_O i want it as my ringtone lol

[Vorotur]

excellent!

[ryukXsayu27]

I think Alan Davies should know Dudley Moore pretty well considering they have the EXACT SAME VOICE.

[YerMumsAWhat]

It's funny how Alan seems so smart on Jonathan Creek but proper thick here...

[Aardvaark999]

@YerMumsAWhat thats his job, he needed to look stupid so the other panellists weren't afraid to get questions wrong

[emma41093]

Is that Dudley Moore's Beethoven spoof?

[chenrikl]

@emma41093 Yes it is.

[z3r0t0l3r4ns]

I love the look on Alan's face when it seems the buzzer has stopped and then it starts up again.

[qq88qq88qq88]

that buzzer should have continued for 5minutes straight

[icekold666]

Alan Davies is TOTALLY the Hamish Blake of the UK



[itsageoffrushthing]

@icekold666 Best comment ever.

[USSCannonFodder]

Best Moment: Stephen's Freakout

[Yin117]

2 People have no Humor; how Sad.

[Matty09Magic]

is this the actual end, ive seen much more modern looking ones than this

[InsanityBlah]

@Matty09Magic end of the 'e' season, think its up to like 'i' now or something. Hope it makes it to z :P

[RustlessPotato]

@InsanityBlah and then greek letters. Or numbers, then it would never end !!!

[WasMilkABadChoice]

I love how serious Jimmy Carr looks through the buzzer playing XD

[TheCraich]

This is Dudley Moore (as mentioned) in a comedy performance of the whistling theme from Bridge over the river Kwai themed as if it were a Beethoven sonata. He recorded this as part of the British comedy show Beyond the Fringe

[donnaf630]

is qi still on ?

[TheCraich]

@donnaf630 Yes. it was announced that it was renewed for it's ninth season on BBC two.

[donnaf630]

@TheCraich oh good i willl have to watch that so :)

[19maurice42]

@donnaf630 yeah, course. Between series at the moment though.

[yorkieliam]

@donnaf630 It's on Dave

[kayper54]

Oh, I knew what it was the instant he pressed that button. I've watched that video of Dudley Moore's "Beethoven" parody 30 dozen times at least. It's hysterical. Watch it if you haven't.

[theRealPlaidRabbit]

Hee! Dudley Moore did this spot-on parody of a Beethoven piano sonata for "Beyond the Fringe" .

[meggymoomi]

That should SO be the buzzer on Britains Got Talent XD

[stews001]

"You bastard!" ... C'mon Stephen, we all know you love him really.

[SomeMrThing]

American civil war

(presses buzzer)

No No No You Bastard

[00Billy]

Alan must pick the buzzers...

[MamaMario13]

i like doons one

[mudkip4ever]

[KingofStrawberries]

@mudkip4ever Beethoven Spoof or something similar =L

'ere ya go: watch?v=GazlqD4mLvw

[Tcrumpen]

@mudkip4ever It's Dudley More Beathoven Sonata Spoof

[Anime100Fan]

EPIC!!

[Stevie2Sxc]

i love that towards the end even Alan seems to be getting bored with it

[EmilTowersIV]

jimmy's facials are spot on!!

[emobabe1993]

I was laughing within the first three seconds of him pressing it, just because I knew what was gonna happen. xD

[steveyoo97]

you can see the video where they got Alan's buzzer from at watch?v=GazlqD4mLvw

[darijoe]

Skip to 1:30 for the actual buzzer sound - you won't be disappointed!

[Tsugo582]

jimmy's face!

i love how alan's smile slowly faded as he thought something along the lines "i thought this was going to end a long time ago"

[TheEverfade]

haha a love alan's one! But I couldn't help burst out laughing at Jimmy's one, and his reaction haha!

[olliec360]

lmao i love alan davies

[Terrystearsatlfc]

haha that woman is the most unfunny person ever...Watched the episodes with her...

[dented42]

What piece is his buzzer from?

[gaspode18]

@dented42 It was written for a sketch about classical music by Dudley Moore.

[lennic95]

@dented42 Why would you want to know? lmao

[dented42]

@lennic95 Because it's a very funny beethoven-esque ending, and i wanted to know if the rest of the piece was as funny as the ending. Which after finding the source, determined that yes, the entire piece I'd hilarious.

[jessii3010]

that must be a world record for the longest buzer in the world!!

[Plueish]

'NO! NO! You.. BASTARD..'

lol..

[BrittleScarMusic]

best buzzer ever...

[PollyJuice]

What he SHOULD have done after hearing the first test of the buzzer, is to grin happily and say: "Oh, boy! I wanna hear that AGAIN!" and press the buzzer.

[hollyHTML]

what series and episode is this?

[HourOfTheCheese]

@hollyHTML Series 5, Episode 11

[Firellius]

Usually he gets stuck with the worst, like in Electricity or Drinks. But this time he gets the best buzzer possible. Awesome piano play. Really laugh at Stephen trying to interrupt the buzzer, only to be mercilessly ignored by the ongoing musical violence. XD

[xXLuciferDarkheartXx]

@Firellius Musical violence? Wow, I have GOT to use that somewhere, that is genius!

[iellawessiri]

i like jimmy carr's buzzer. the guillotine. ^^

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Another favorite buzzer of mine is when they're talking about a depressing song which has brought about a few suicides, and Alan's buzzer is "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"... and he activates the buzzer while the song is playing...

[AlexanderT21]

In a show about Endings, Alan's buzzer NEVER ends XD

[clockendboy]

This is the best buzzer ever, I've been looking for it for ages.

[Ziffaroo]

His expresions are what makes this so funny XD

[woogynie]

@wemuable the perfect line up for QI MUST include bill bailey :) :)

[AlexanderT21]

@woogynie Bill Bailey, David Mitchell, Alan Davies of course and Jimmy Carr. Dara is ace though its hard to choose :(

[OhTheMetal]

Jimmy's face at 1:21. xDDDD

[MeShallHattiefyYou]

At least he got something Sophisticated for once...

[HactarThe2nd]

What's Doon's buzzer? It's been bothering me for ages...

[FreedomValentine]

In an episode called Endings, that buzzer never seemed to end.

[StigGT2]

love alan's MASSIVE applause

[KingofKlubs]

I wish I could be in the board meeting where the producers are discussing what Alan's buzzes are going to be, they must have a right laugh

[95dIsTuRbEdRuLe59]

pmsl

[brumak]

That was THE most epic buzzer ever!!!

[andyc992]

you could well imagine dara as a villian in a film if he just came round the corner when the bell rang

[ProcrastinatingGuy]

Jimmy's expression for the guillotine is priceless!!

i half expected him to come up with something witty there! but the face paid off!

[Technodreamer]

Oh, THAT's what it is! I could never figure out what the sound was.

[Ezhuks]

@titsbumfanny

Alan Davies always gets the loudest applause.

[jonno2019]

lollllllll stephens exasperation 1:59 killed me

[patkawasaki]

that woman in the red would definitely get it.

[meowjellymoon]

@cyberneticchaos

[topsecret362]

[cyberneticchaos]

[NeonTiger4537]

@cyberneticchaos

[cyberneticchaos]

You've got that right.

[NeonTiger4537]

@cyberneticchaos

my favourite is 'and in 4th place with a personal best, or should i say personal worst, is Alan Davies, with a score of -84 points!'

didn't even know there were enough questions to get -84 points

its quite sad how i can just quote from the show

[nikobrown1990]

@cyberneticchaos... yup, "anal" for president indeed

[cyberneticchaos]

My mistake. For hell's sake...

[ellieeeeeeeeeeeeeeex]

HAHA that made me laugh :D

[Milanous199]

LMAO No! no! NOOOO!!! YOU BASTARD!!!!

[JellyDehli]

I almost died when I first watched this XD

[BlingDucky]

[ecafssot]

I want Alan's buzzer as my ringtone!

[medea1990]

Wonderful! What piece is it?

[Thijsie92]

Look for "Dudley Moore Beethoven Sonata Parody" and you'll find it (right at the end).

[medea1990]

Thak you so much, Thijsie92!

[VimeC]

@Thijsie92 Thanks!

[worshipthehat]

lol, amazing stuff!

jimmy's buzzer sounds like a wet cabbage in a guillotine!

[kcphonics]

[kafcin]

That's Rachmaninoff isn't it???

Actually I don't know, I just wanted to use 'Rachmaninoff' in a sentence.

[ituyok]

[DeadlyVeggie]

Well, not really, i've just been desperate to use that pun in a sentence.

[misssnoopy44]

[onedaylikethis12]

[musicdaisy33]

Don't know if anyone else has said this, but in case you're interested, this is a clip from a Dudley Moore sketch from the Edinburgh Festival where he does a parody of a Beethoven Sonata on the theme of the Whistling song from the bridge over the River Kwai.

[TurquoiseTree]

[MrWeebs]

Jimmy Carr is a nob.
