Stephen Impressed by Jan - QI - BBC One

[DontFearGrim]

"It's not what you put into the cookies, it's what you put IN to the cookies. You know what I mean?"

"Oh sure, you're saying you have echolalia... echolalia..."

[Jessica616ify]

Stephen and Jan were having a little intellectual moment together but then Jimmy totally trampled on it.. I laughed though hahaa XD

[Nikon05]

@Shift4chizzle yeah I know. Hence the "if" in my comment, it wasnt worded the best though I should have said "If he were* straight",

[nathanlief]

thats why i swerve when i have been drinking and follow another drunk driver and they swerve i follow, Echopraxia

[figbat1]

i had lunch with stephen fry yesterday and showed him my theory. he was very impressed and said it was mindblowing. i have posted what was said on you-tube site "un urges syria to investigate".

[flyboy172r]

Cut to Stephen Fry copping a feel at 00:36 and I lol'd.

[vivadangermouse]

@flyboy172r next shot shows him sniffing his finger too :P

[LolEYEHasFun]

Is that older british man the same guy from top gear? Or do all british people look the same...

[Shannmeister]

@LolEYEHasFun No you're thinking of Jeremy Clarkson. They don't look alike but they are both well over 6ft.

[dthomp16htc]

@LolEYEHasFun No that's Jeremy Clarkson. He's a cunt.

[LolEYEHasFun]

@dthomp16htc hes my favorite brit

[animalnt]

@LolEYEHasFun To the american eye, everything non-american looks the same.

[HannahIsUnoriginal]

I have echolalia. Our car makes a noise that I can only describe as 'bloopledeedoop' when you remove your seatbelt and I always find myself copying it XD Also when someone says something weirdly I immediately copy them without thinking.

[audball911]

My little brother has slight echolalia. Then again, he's on the autism spectrum, so it's to be expected.

[xginjayx]

0:36 trying to keep ur boner down eh stephen?

[SMuJ17]

@xginjayx Stephen Fry has no need for a boner. If he sees fit he can just look at a woman and give her the best orgasm she's ever had. He's really quite selfless.

[leradoms]

my boyfriend has echolalia, at first I thought he was making fun of the way I talk but I realized he copies everyone.

[Lesserthannone]

Why is that lady dressed in her dressing gown?

[TOOHUMAN112]

This just highlights exactly what QI is. There's something really interesting being said but its really light hearted and funny.

[Simpsonsfreak1134]

I find it interesting that the top comment has nearly double the amount of likes of the video.

[alamandrax]

@Simpsonsfreak1134 Yes, yes... that's quite interesting.

[Simpsonsfreak1134]

@alamandrax Indeed...

[Tiwaking]

Our old prime minister, Jim Bolger, has echolalia. Very embarrassing when meeting foreign dignitaries.

[SpazzyMcGee1337]

The fool proof way of "winning" on QI is to learn latin and just string words together.

Please bring QI to BBC America! :(

[TweekDash]

I don't think Fry was as amazed by her findings as he showed, he had to play it up a bit.

[LittleBabyBum]

all round brilliance

[mitch19636]

Love the show.

[Nikon05]

if stephen fry was straight she had him there and then. lol

[Shift4chizzle]

@Nikon05 stephen fry is gay?

[ManOfTheDerp]

@Shift4chizzle He has been for a very long time and has a partner. I didn't know till recently, probably because he's not flamboyant and in your face as other annoying homosexuals...

[urma1234567]

Am I the only one who finds jan incredibly attractive? Lol

[TheGrindsprint]

@urma1234567 I think so

[ifedthehorse]

@urma1234567

Any time a question starts with "am I the only one" the answer is always fucking "NO".

[GooseberryMk3]

@urma1234567 I really hope so.

[christiaan81music]

@urma1234567 yes you are

[23Glee]

Jimmy Carr happens to be very popular in the UK, being scottish myself

[merdufer]

Stephen is obviously a lingosexual.

[merlechmoose]

Jimmy is great.

[CornishRicky]

Very sneaky, ticking Fry's linguistic G-spot.

[GreenPlatypusBaby]

oh crap, when i read the title i thought it meant something else :(

[LolEYEHasFun]

that guy who makes the piss remark, he used to be on a show on comedy central that got cancelled. Cant remember the name

[agata521]

@LolEYEHasFun jimmy carr

[Matty09Magic]

@LolEYEHasFun jimmy carr

[LolEYEHasFun]

@Matty09Magic he's not funny in america.

[Matty09Magic]

@LolEYEHasFun to be honest with you jimmy carr isnt that funny in britain, and as horrible as it sounds some british dont get american comedy. no offence to any of you guys in particular

[jackalhunt1]

@Matty09Magic I have to strongly dissagree on that point, being british my self i can tell you that the majority of people i know find jimmy car to be very funny and very entertaining

[Matty09Magic]

@jackalhunt1 fair enough, i respect your opinion.

[HannahIsUnoriginal]

@LolEYEHasFun No he just dumbs down his act in America. His comedy is different in the UK :)

[TheKendraHater]

@LolEYEHasFun

Called 'Distraction' ??

[DaveScott69]

Jan comes up with something interesting while Jimmy reverts to barrel scrapping talk. Why do people like Jimmy Carr? It pisses me off to see such a dumb git on a show like QI.

[SuperGoldenPony]

@DaveScott69 Because at least a good half of the public also wants to see dumb easy tension releasing comedy.

[bemoreunique]

@DaveScott69 He's actually often quite intelligent on the show. And funny, too. But of course not everything he says is going to be intelligent AND funny.

[ShingenDok]

@DaveScott69 Because there was no where else for the conversation to go, and Jimmy Carr knew that making everyone laugh was the perfect end. If this didn't happen it would just be interesting questions but very dull. His timing there was perfect, and the joke was quick.

[bigkattara]

ohhhh brilllianttttttttt



[wastrel123]

Repeatedly presds 7 then wait for three seconds!

Lol!

[ScarecrowDELUXE]

I cannot stop watching this goddamn QI clips. Honestly, I've been sitting for like 4 or 5 hours.

[gabiotta]

@ScarecrowDELUXE

Whatever you do, don't type Charlie Brooker into the search bar. When i did that last time, my wife and kids were gone when i looked up and there was a man showing prospective renters around my flat....

[pacmandem]

@IlluminatedRain I can't say for sure but I don't think it's in the sense of human beings naturally wanting to build rapport with each other by inadvertantly mimicing body language, speech patterns (cadence, intonation, tonal rage, accent and all the rest of it) but it's more of an inherently negative thing. Or as Jimmy car puts it - taking the piss.

[blathui]

"That is very points, points!!!"

[Spruxy]

Damn, I came on here thinking it said Stephen Impression by Jan

[zenzombie72]

When you start mimicking your sat-nav it's called echolocation.

[k9pker]

@zenzombie72 When you start mimicking the top rated comment it's called echocommenta.

[pchiekrie]

Copropraxia is involuntarily performing obscene or forbidden gestures

[hestheman929]

I have echolalia with accents.

[taring9]

@hestheman929 yeah so do i. it's so bad that i've offended 1 or 2 people. because i always copy their accents, well, badly.

[Boubala24]

I've accidentally had an outburst of echolalia around someone with a severe r-w lisp. That was embarrassing. 

[theone0044]

I think I have both of those, anything that seems a bit weird ill have to try really hard not to imitate it.

[issyvoo2]

What a snappy dresser Stephen is in this episode. Maybe he really was born to be Wilde after all, as Hugh Laurie always said.

[5709843]

Soon as Jan starts gyrating, Stephen gets interested!? 

[Woofsie]

@5709843 Somehow I doubt it...

[ChristopherDone]

Jimmy Carr brings the tone back down again... Hee-larious.

[viridismonasteriense]

echolallia would explain my English accent, despite being Dutch. That's what watching too much QI does to you.

[HannahIsUnoriginal]

@viridismonasteriense A lot of Dutch people have an American accent when they when they speak English, I've noticed. Do you learn US English? :/ I've always wondered.

[viridismonasteriense]

@HannahIsUnoriginal I think it depends on what teachers you have and what pronunciation they prefer, or what TV shows you watch and the English you pick up on therein. I rarely speak English in real life, no need to, but on holiday in Spain I did meet some English people and I found myself adapting to them somewhat, taking up their brogue. It would become worse if I was nervous: I'd pick an accent (I hate Dutch accented English most of all) until I'd settle into something they'd understand LOL

[SjaanK85]

@HannahIsUnoriginal I've learned the British english in school, as far as the words go.

Cake instead of pie, holiday instead of vacation. But i think we talk english like americans because we don't learn a particular accent, just pronounciation. And because standard American-english doesn't really have an accent, we tend to sound like that more. I learned british english from watching shows like this, and I'm reasonably convincing, even if I say so myself. Accents are just good fun to practice.

[j0gan673]

@SjaanK85 Sorry to be a prick, but it's actually spelled 'pronunciation' with one less 'o'. But I'm helping you learn!

[SjaanK85]

@j0gan673 Noted ;)

[Donalm95]

I wonder what you call it when you speak slower than normal to a foreigner, even if you know them. Like my mom used to to my French grinds teacher even though she knew he had perfect English. My mom is also semi-retarded though.

[BobGeorgeAU]

He's so cute when he gets excited by interesting facts. "Oh brilliant!" You've got to respect a man who is so turned on by obtaining knowledge and learning something that is 'quite interesting'.

[GiniBaggins]

@BobGeorgeAU I agree :) I think that's why he's most suitable as host for this programm :)

I can't think of a better person really!

[lennic95]

What episode is this?

[Babsan11]

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I pressed the wrong button; dislike instead of like!!!

[HeavensOfMetal]

@Babsan11 One dislike.... Out of One dislike XD

[WaterCrane]

Victor Meldrew didn't seem to think much of Jan's knowledge!

[kendrawhisp]

damn i have that echolalia all the time

[ttbf]

Haha stephen "adjusts himself" at 00:35

[aarandir]

He could just be scratching his leg! My teacher used to scratch his leg vigorously under the table and me and my friends use to giggle because it looked like he was bashing the old bishop.

[Caizu809]

@ttbf knowledge gives him wood...

[RuskePerson]

@ttbf Stephen is gay... just throwing that out there.

[idlewild]

@ttbf "Ooooh, brilliant!"

[moshpotpaul]

@ttbf maybe he just likes to rub himself when someone says something intellectual! "All it takes is a beautiful mind"

[artemisroxs]

@ttbf lolz

[hideyourloveaway128]

@ttbf Ohmigawd, he really did, didn't he? Is Stephen turned on by impressive Greek words? ;) Methinks yea.

[D3w10n]

@ttbf To be honest, that is one hot MILF, and I would have to make a room downstairs also :D

[Dhesyca]

My mom must have echolalia...ecolalia? anyway, she always accidentally takes on someone's accent when she talks to them; and very quickly! It embarrasses her.

[CCNuck]

@Dhesyca Oh wow, me too! I'm a Canadian, and there's this channel - Knowledge Network - that features a lot of British programmes. And if I sit and watch these British shows for an hour or so, I get up, and go to speak, and have a British accent.

The worst was when I met a British woman on a bus. We chatted for 10 minutes, and I started having her accent. I fortunately managed to catch myself, and hoped she just thought I say the word "suppose" oddly, not that I was fighting off an accent.

[poofwithmuscles]

@Dhesyca I do the same thing, always. I'm a huge fan of many British singers and if I watch videos of them talking for too long, I will be speaking with whatever accent they have for two days, to one week for the longest. I couldn't help it :/ It's awkward trying to explain why you suddenly have a Liverpool accent after vacation, lol. Just after watching something I'll do it too, but it's very temporary.

[treefrog1956]

What's she doing on a prgramme like this? She's not a comedian, she's a mimic. Been on 'Have I got News for You' - failed. Been on 'The News Quiz' - failed. Been on 'Mock the Week' - failed. She's a brilliant mimic but as herself, she's not funny. I think it's a sympathy appearance because she was at uni with Mr Fry.

[spazzing]

Is she wearing a bra?! Yikes!

[musicmaster040693]

jimmy carr....

[MINIHermanator]

@musicmaster040693 ilove the how all he has to write is jimmy carr and he gets the thumbs up

[AngelOmega777]

@musicmaster040693 You said EXACTLY what I was thinking.

[nuttysolos]

good knowledge.
