F S6E7 Extended Version 1/5

[Larsmaa]

"Oh fuck off" I love Jo!

[freakystyley4000]

I would love to get the uncensored clip of Jo saying 'oh fuck orff!' as a ringtone.

[AndTheWailers]

RO-SHAM-BO

[GryffinPhwoar]

.... Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!

[johncrwarner]

Dortmund - why has Phil Jupitus got it in for Dortmund? LOL

[katelynna10000]

I've played a theater came called farkle, which involves rock-paper scissors. Everyone starts as an egg. You can only 'farkle' (play rock-paper scissors) against someone who's the same form as you. and if you win your game of rock-paper-scissors you become a chicken, then a crocodile, then a superhero, and if you win against another superhero- you become an enlightened being, and get to sit on the ground and make a strange noise. If you lose- you revert to your previous stage. It's super fun

[KillerGuitar007]

I really beg to differ. You don't need to smile to do a 'K' sound at all

[holidaysinsweden]

A duck in a reverberation chamber. Priceless! Very Python-esque.

[IoEstasCedonta]

I cannot find the word "fargle" anywhere outside this episode.

[rayhs1984]

never heard fargle it's either called rock paper scissors or Ro-sham-bo

[ThatsSpiffing]

i want to say f*** and have it beeped out as i say it... don't know why

[jetfire851]

They must've taken the "elephant in the room" placard from Alan after what he pulled off two episodes before. He could've gotten another bonus.

[VALARLIGHT]

I might be mistunderstanding, but isn't the bit about words with the letter "K" being funniest because they make you smile...total bollocks? I say that because, you can say "K" or words with "K" in them, without smiling at all

[PLupa2]

I (figuratively) died laughing during the pencils bit.

[leonevoli]

I'm wondering where Stephen gets some of his "American words"...

[MelPullThePin]

Along with the Geometry one...this has to be one of the funniest episodes...and they both have great panelists as well.

[CosplayingCassie]

If you do transcribe audio whilst they have pencils in their mouths, it's hilarious. You get such gems as 'saluted for free', 'wants you the truth and ka' and 'he declined to comment on the world'.

[rebirthoftheflesh]

This is really the funniest episode of QI I've seen yet. Never laughed out loud so much.

[kemp10]

i love how much more mature you brits are about cussing than people here in the us

[Shyyrn]

Dara O'Briain and Phill Jupitus speaking with pencils in their mouths absolutely killed me! XD

[icyicemanicyicy]

I love how Jo always trashes her husband !!

[jdhathrisen]

This is easily Phil's best episode.

[nanashambles]

Oh yeah, rock-paper-scissor Indonesian (and Indian apparently) way. But actually, the way ants can beat elephant is that they could crawl into their ear and it's basically disturbing.

[ADragonAmongRoses]

um.... i knew the scissor-first thing since i was really young. there was always a tie in the first three rounds because ppl always do scissor-paper-rock. every since then i already started with rock....and have won 95% of games :)

[littlplientje]

@TheCuckooshrykes Ooh, better! What about Eddie Izzard saying rock, paper scissors, lizard, spock?

[bluejeckett]

Wouldnt it have been good of theyd kept the pencils in for the entire show lol

[SacrosanctSofa]

Thumbs up if you think Alan Davies looks ridiculously like Samwise Gamgee!

[ss3goku00]

Hehe, moo...

[littlplientje]

quack is funnier than moo? they have obviously never seen Eddie Izzard say moo XD

[TheCuckooshrykes]

@littlplientje what about eddie izzard saying quack?

[muditbhatia1]

I'm Indian, and I've never heard of elephant-man-ant. As far as I know, India doesn't have a rock-paper-scissors analogue.

[maltesercat]

This is my ideal panel :D love this show

[Alexmo555]

But Stephen, I can only get a forfeit if I say fuck!

Gotta love Phill.

[oohdear1397]

To everyone that's said they are American and have never heard 'fargling' before; he said it was an American word, which doesn't mean Americans use it often; just as pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism is a word in the English language, yet hardly any of us have ever used it in our lives :D

[mikkabouzu]

@oohdear1397 You're right, of course. It's just so bizarre...

[justforflag2]

@oohdear1397

Well, that word is really Greek now, isn't it?

[oohdear1397]

@justforflag2 Aren't most words in English from other languages?

[justforflag2]

@oohdear1397

Of course.

[sliver321123]

@oohdear1397 He did say that it's "sometimes used" which clearly indicates that sometimes it is used by people, arguably in America.

[GSBConstantine]

@sliver321123 yeah? just because you don't hear people use it, doesn't mean its not used.

idiot.

[sliver321123]

@GSBConstantine

I don't know why you're being so aggressive. Are your genitals particularly underwhelming?

[GSBConstantine]

@sliver321123 not aggressive, agitated by other people and their stupidity.

[sliver321123]

@GSBConstantine

I could call you stupid for basically saying your being aggressive isn't being aggressive, but I won't.

Just take it down a notch. I was dicking around, nit picking a comment on Youtube.

No big deal.

[Nachax85]

I'm from India and I've never heard anyone play "Elephant Ant Humans".

Ever.

[morsa575]

"This reminds me of my husband!" I *love* Jo Brand, so so much.

[blogheads]

OK, "Nobody I know here in America call it "Fargling." yeah nobody in america says fargling. sometimes i wonder where they get their facts. Fargling is only mentioned on QI... I feel sorry for Fry.. wasn't really succeeding at the fargling. yeah i've never heard fargling in my life.... True. I've never, ever, ever heard the word "fargling". Any Americans here who have actually heard it called fargling? If that word is truly American, it's archaic. "

Point taken. GET OOOOOOOOOOOOVER IT.

[janeeyre1990]

@blogheads "Point taken. GET OOOOOOOOOOOOVER IT." Says the man or woman who went through all the comments to find those quotes.

[allerdyce]

yeah nobody in america says fargling. sometimes i wonder where they get their facts.

[petecogs]

How thick have you got to be to believe a ducks quack doesn't echo. Dear God Almighty. And these people are allowed out unsupervised.

[darijoe]

God I love this show! Making them put pencils in their mouth, talking about putting a duck into a reverberation chamber, priceless!

[migrated]

What's the name of the song in Dara's buzzer? I know I've heard it somewhere before.

[potentperson]

paper doesn't really beat stone....love it

[neonom1024]

I really like the theory that paper "beats" stone in a symbolic sense in that wood or plants (represented by paper) can grow through and eventually split or break a boulder.

[chazz7667]

The mythbusters proved that a duck's quack is an echo!

[JUNI0RD0CT0R]

@chazz7667 what do u mean it is an echo? i dont get you

[chazz7667]

@JUNI0RD0CT0R There is a show called mythbusters. They did an episode on a ducks quack. Check it out!

[profane1972]

I just looked up fargling in the urban dictonary. One of the entries on "fargle" is:"To fart while gargling."

Who would have known?

[Nebirias]

50 minutes with Jo Brand, Phill Jupitus, Dara O'Briain, Alan Davies, AND Stephen Fry?

I'm starting to think there might be a God.

And It's Stephen.

[Vynjira]

Yea, Fargling is only mentioned on QI... I have heard of Roshambo (or Rochambeau) and even jenken but Fargling seems like someone once said that somewhere and someone took it as an American term.

I would like to find 1 American that has heard of Fargling that didn't see it on QI first.

[spirit0423]

I was reading the comments and there seems to be a lot of talk of the orgins of the word fargling, since I'm american and never heard the word I looked it up, the only thing I could find was a discussion about QI and if anyone had ever heard this word, i kinda have a feeling that fact was wrong, either way love this show :)

[tsushima91]

I feel sorry for Fry.. wasn't really succeeding at the fargling :p

[janeeyre1990]

My name begins with the letter K. I'm glad that speaking of me necessarily brings a smile to people's faces. ^-^

[thomatude]

"Im Qoosing my words very carefulwe here"

[allerdyce]

yeah i've never heard fargling in my life....

[GoneWithTheSinners]

Ha, I watched this last night on Dave.

[Orlabobz]

"You seem stupid now Fry!" hehehe! I really wish they did keep the pencils in for the entire show, woulda been very funny!

[tahloolahlee]

Any Americans here who have actually heard it called fargling? I've lived on both coasts but it's a new one for me. Is it a Midwest thing?

[kittyprydekissme]

I've never heard that tale of quacks having no echo. Do people really believe stuff like that in Britain? It sounds completely ludicrous.

[neonom1024]

@kittyprydekissme - they disproved it on Mythbusters!

[xraycortina]

fargling = farting and gargling at the same time?

[BelfastAtheist]

@xraycortina

Witty.

[antster1983]

Dara (pencil in mouth held with the teeth): Is this not like a bad move in a spoken word comedy show? And... I'm choosing my words very carefully here... you've essentially disabled four contestants...

Phill (also pencil in mouth held with the teeth): Could somebody please call social services?

[lennic95]

"Wouldn't you rather we had a ball gag, Stephen?"

[antster1983]

@lennic95 The ball gag line is hilarious XoD

[FortisConscius]

"It's an American word that's SOMETIMES used...".

[himissalice7]

Alan Davies, Jimmy Carr, Jo Brand and Rob Brydon are my dream panel.

[antster1983]

@himissalice7 Series G Episode 4. Your dream come true :o)

[EatMyRice18]

a rog? a rog? what's a rog? i can barely do a kissors.

Somebody please call social services!

[cashmerde]

hey folk, what's that song that jo brand's buzzers sound is from? inbefore thanks

[aperrett66]

@cashmerde Shaddap You Face. Joe Dolce

[cashmerde]

@aperrett66 thx :)

[silverlily35]

I've lived in America my whole life, played Rock Paper Scissors loads of times, and I've *never* heard it called "fargling!" If that word is truly American, it's archaic.

[piaaguilos]

And yet again Phil manifests his *secret* obsession for Kestrels XD

[Kebabsvein]

Gotta love Jo's initial forfeit and Phil's "I can only get a forfeit if I say F@&%!"

[Laruzhius]

For some reason, Dara's "Waaugh!" right after he takes the pencil out is what kills me.

. . . Also, Phil wins at pencil-talk. Dara's a close second.

[ozzymadesabbath]

this episode would be so much better if they replaced jo with bill bailey

[Callithyia]

always been rock-paper-scissors in the mid-atlantic as far as i know... although at school we played hunter-bear-ninja.

[seanolly]

We call it jan ken po, in hawaii.

[VerilyTY]

"Fargling"? Not in my state, it isn't.

[bakerstreetbookworm]

Nor mine...I think I'll start, though!

[kemikiao]

I was watching a show about the Rock-Paper-Scissors competition they have (or had) and there was a man called "Mr. Scissors." Had a giant foam scissors he always carried.

He said he usually throws scissors because most people think he's bluffing about it.

[XxRynethxX]

Phill looks really good with longish hair x3

[cooliovasquez]

@XxRynethxX long hair makes people appear thinner

[abbyratsolee]

No we do not call it fargling.

[seanwalker182]

@princesskyrie there are 308 million people in your country.. is it not possible that you jsut dont know the ones that call it that?

[princesskyrie]

Hold on. Nobody I know here in America call it "Fargling." We always call it "Rock Paper Scissors."

[Schpudd]

ive only heard you guys call it roshambo, never fargling

[Kingofcorrect]

I thought Roshambo is when you get into a crotch-kicking contest, whoever falls down loses.

[Chariset]

Yeah, I thought maybe it was a reference to a dice game called Farkle.

[StoliDassah]

@princesskyrie Same here...I've seen quite a few episodes were Stephen says "In America" and is so totally off. Either he's just out right wrong or it's something really old from the 20's or 30's. Still a hilarious show, but come on, Brits hate us enough, don't give them more reasons to think we're fools and assholes.

[Musseduss]

@StoliDassah We think that about you in Norway too, btw... xP

[Fishmorph]

@StoliDassah The trouble is, America's pretty darn big, and I only live in one corner of it. Maybe what he says could be true in some part of America ... but not so much where I'm from. I admit that for Stephen to say, "In some parts of America, sometimes it's called fargling," carries more accuracy but less drama...

[HackneySack]

@princesskyrie True. I've never, ever, ever heard the word "fargling".

[robbo3166]

@icutad2 My God! We have a 50,000 year old person on youtube!........Oh wait, their a 26 y.o idiot.

[armegeddis]

I will from now on, just because it sounds dirty. ^_^

[Macnatty]

@princesskyrie must agree I am the queen of rock paper scissors and not once have I ever called it "fargling" here in the US. Please if any other Americans here HAVE used the term or heard of it, speak up.

[Kodetsu]

@princesskyrie my friends and i in high school called it farkling

[mikkabouzu]

@Kodetsu Wait, I'm kind of interested in this term now. Where did you live when you were in high school?

[mikkabouzu]

@princesskyrie I agree; as an American, I have never heard of this word before in my life. It is either, shall we say in the spirit of QI, absolute bollocks, or it's so archaic as to be nonsensical and irrelevant.

[CrimsonKage]

@princesskyrie I second that, I have never heard the term fargling until this episode.

[greasyelvis]

@princesskyrie It's a big place. Ask everybody.

[cywyhot]

@princesskyrie I'd never heard it before, either, but it appears to have some trendiness along with rochambeau or roshambo. It's at fargling.com.

From Urban Dictionary on fargle--The act of completing a game or series of "Paper, Rock, Scissors" in order to determine the results of any series of events held in dispute between two people.

"Me and Ernie fargled to see who'd play next on the XBOX and I smoked him with a Triple Scissors Combo."

[Diagdown]

@princesskyrie perhaps it is just that they don't call it that where you are in the states . . . where i grew up, it was called interchangebly rock, paper, scissors and fargling.

[Raventoll]

@Diagdown It's not called Fargling in the Midwest or Texas, at the very least.

[KeladryL]

This is my favorite episode ever and my favorite panel ever. Thank you for uploading this!

[arshsingh1984]

Indians believe that an ant bite to an elephant's trunk will kill the elephant via infection from the bite.

[ELuhn]

@arshsingh1984 On Mythbusters -- the closest thing we have to QI in America -- they proved that elephants really are afraid of mice. They also debunked the quacks-don't-echo myth.

[crojonphoenix]

they proved elephants avoid mice.

they would have to measure if they felt afraid, maybe the elephants didnt want to step on them.

[ginemginem]

@ELuhn Honestly, Mythbusters suck at busting myths. There are quite few "myths" they "busted" which were in fact fact. Sure, it's entertaining; but not exactly factual. Their "busted", "confirmed" and "plausible" don't hold up when scientific rigor is applied, for the most part.

[TumshieX]

This has been an excellent episode so far, thanks for uploading. Dara's my favorite guest. I really like Phil and Jo too!
