QI XL G09 - Gallimaufrey

[theevilgenius242]

I'm fairly certain that the clock that donates to a political cause you hate is a hoax.

[itzdaman]

Give 1 kid, 1 sugar cube AND HE COULD POWER THE WORLD!

[ixcaliber]

Holy fuck they have great handwriting

[molegoddess]

In this movie called Longitude, Stephen Fry plays a bit character who believes in the animalistic, sympathetic telepathy thing and tries to submit it as a method for ships at sea to calculate longitude. Except his involved a dog being stabbed with a knife having a connection to the knife itself, instead of snails who have mated. Anyway, just thought the connection was amusing.

[TomFynn]

@molegoddess James May on a "Man Lab" episode tried that (well minus the stabbing) as a means of navigating. It was rubbish. :)

[molegoddess]

@TomFynn James May is a rubbish navigator at the best of times, though, so that doesn't necessarily disprove the method. ;)

[TomFynn]

@molegoddess Well, he wasn't Captain of that particular boat, so we can conclude it was the method :)

[MendelsonShape]

Wow. Over 37 minutes before anyone sets off the alarm.

[Jimmy171194]

I love how Stephen referenced one of the sketches he did with Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry and Laurie xD

[ItalianChick93]

I read the title as 'Gallifrey' ...too much Doctor Who...

[chrisjreddie]

@ItalianChick93 Yup me too, so this was a happy surprise when it was an XL QI. Amazing!

[mrsraddliffe]

@ItalianChick93 me too

[subgay]

Alan would be an awesome Uncle. I wish he was my Uncle.

[kingpharaohtsar]

@subgay thats cute an a lil pervy maybe lol id rether stephen fry living next door

[NorwegianPotato]

Brilliant! Thanks for uploading :)

[GwresYnKernow]

Haha, Stephen Fry referencing his own Fry and Laurie sketch at 15:10.

[Bamonstertje]

Alan Davies as your uncle, that has to be awesome!

[bagunti]

I love how Alan either wins with 5 points or something pathetic like that or looses horribly

[RaincloudPlay]

@bagunti Once he won with 21.

[rayhs1984]

Phil insults the guests of "Call my Bluff", but it and QI share 5 guests. (Jeremy Clarkson, Sandi Toksvig, Dave Gorman, Barry Cryer and Fred MacAulay)

[Nicodemus1]

Phil Jupitus' out of work actor routine is a thing of beauty. 

[hixxy126]

Whats the name of the song playing on phills buzzer?

[krownedskate]

Hugh is definitely colder than Phil!

[RaincloudPlay]

Kids probably get excited about having a sugary thing, as it's like a treat.

[gyrrakavian]

The "C" for the choices in General Ignorance actually works, as spiders are part of Chalicerata.

[naryanr]

A good example of the Goldilocks effect is Intel. Their top-of-the-line processor is $999 whereas the second best is about 5-8% slower and it's $299.

[naryanr]

What about the alarm clock that you put £10 in the night before and set it on the table on the other side of the room. The clock if effectively a super-slow paper shredder that kicks in at your predefined time.

[PointsofData]

I was drinking Coke while watching this. And laughed. A lot. Gah.

[GtarWanaB]

QI: triceratops are actually not a real classification of dinosaur, as they are a juvenile growth phase of another species

[TheBestCommenterEVER]

@GtarWanaB pretty sure triceratops is the genus, with a couple of different species

[egyptology22]

It never ceases to amaze me how people can can get into an argument on you tube over even the most harmless of subjects. On this particular occasion, it involves someone who has taken the catchphrase of a fictional American 'genius' as a moniker. Freedom of speech is a good thing, but, it should be submitted to an anti - psuedo intellectual committee who decides whether the rest of us have to be subjected to it.

[Brendan9895]

Nickfromfulham has had his account terminated, be careful because the BBC are being wankers and may take this down :(

[stainglassfox]

@Brendan9895 UGH! Ya, I was between classes on monday, and I got that message about nick, I flipped out and had to be removed from the premiss.

[Brendan9895]

@stainglassfox I'm really pissed off because I was just getting into mock the week and was on series 8 or something when the account was terminated :(

[Shizuo121]

@Brendan9895 Check out BankieFroyle channel.

[stainglassfox]

@Brendan9895 Oops, I mean premises

[AngeloR93]

@Brendan9895 We really should dislike the videos a bit to make them less visible.

[Brendan9895]

@AngeloR93 Dislike QI? BLASPHEMER!

[lesterclaypool1]

@Brendan9895 axctually theres a way around it ,,,mirror image ,,, if the reverse is shown it is perfectly legal

[NeuroticCupcake]

@Brendan9895 Oh no! He had his anonymous and completely disposable account closed?! The horror!

[MrsCamui]

39:55 - SLENDER MONKEY?! o.o

[albertusj]

The SS.. a. LOL!!!

[karablak1]

Yay! I knew the correct order at 40:20 :)

[SeleneJessabelle1262]

I clicked on this episode because the title was Gallimaufrey. I thought it would have had something to do with Doctor Who.

[Merrida100]

I have never been a fan of Piers Morgan, but can someone explain to me the ongoing hostility that is a common thread throughout many QI episodes where they slam Piers? Is he in some ways more of a dick than we the general public who don't really know him already think he is? Is there more to his "dickness?"

[HBKRichie]

@Merrida100 He used to run a newspaper in England and really used to hassle and harass celebrities to get stories. He's an ass hole too. Weird he's doing well in america though. Work with 'the sun' then 'news of the world' and the daily mirror, two pretty local class tabloid newspapers. Most famous people hate him.

[endzordays]

@HBKRichie Never heard of him over here in america

[HBKRichie]

@endzordays Good good!

[captainchild]

i got all their hand writings right

[Th1sWasATriumph]

@captainchild Then you win the Stephen Fry Award, which is not a real thing.

[TheTheoldgit]

Phil is the best! Never mind the Buzzcocks or QI . He makes the show rock!

[chazz7667]

I love this show! I can't wait to get off work on Fridays to watch the new episode! I wish I could watch it on BBC! I guess YouTube will have to do!

[thermotheo]

brilliant line up

[MrDubbs00]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooood evening good evening, XD

[SerPinkKnight]

Man the first series of Heroes was sooo goood...

[realGeorgelucas18563]

Stomach lining turned brown due to cola? No promblem is too big for CIllit Bang! BANG!

[luhario]

WHERE'S YOUR LICENSE?

[dilwich123]

Jupitus is not a very funny man.

[mctrikster]

@dilwich123 You are a moron.

[LokiClock]

What are the songs used for the buzzers?

[MarnVEN]

I'm Loving QI!!

[ReeseAM]

That's a magnificent tie that Stephen has on

[britishmikey]

15:15 - Huw mate, whats your beef with Steve?

[streetwhereulive]

If it were not for these comedians, this show would be more boring than watching paint dry.

[RascoJr]

@streetwhereulive

Thats the idea :P



[AdmiralFudge]

Y'know whats funny, alan plays idiot kind of, but i bet in real life hes really really smart

[higfny]

@millyghopkins indeed

[millyghopkins]

I love that Stephen Fry dislikes Piers Morgan.

[Combaine]

I think I choked to death on my coffee around 9:26. This comment is kinda post-mortem.

[Georgeous129]

haha that alarm clock hiding thing would work and it'd wake the neighbours up as well...cos after half an hour you'd yell 'I'M UP NOW!!!! NOW SHUT UP!!!'

[bogi18]

Has anyone else noticed that Alan mentiones his nephews quite often? He must be a really fun uncle:)

[lesterclaypool1]

@bogi18

Or the fact that he only has girl babies makes his nephews the only context that he can put stories about boys into?

[casper123]

thanks for uploading

[Mistersamsam]

Phil Jupitus looks a middle aged lesbian.

[superhamzah85]

@Mistersamsam

Don't we all...

Oh you mean looks LIKE.

[MrBazzingah]

@Mistersamsam Phil Jupitus is an overweight, under-funny, pratt who has been getting away with his schoolboy, gaffawing, shallow Carrry On style of humour for far too long. Discuss

[simonxslade]

@MrBazzingah You were one of those out of work actors weren't you?

[Brendan9895]

@MrBazzingah yet he is one of the most popular guests on QI and usually gets the most laughs

[hippotoast]

@Mistersamsam Did you mean to miss out like? It's funnier without it.

[misterwishart]

@Mistersamsam So does Sandi Toksvig.

[YulkaYulka]

I have an alarm clock called "clocky". It's on wheels and after I hit snooze, it jumps off the table and rolls away and hides. It's especially a pain in the butt when it rolls under the bed and I have to get up and MOVE THE BED to retrieve it. Best $10 ever spent!!!

[lesterclaypool1]

@YulkaYulka

If I had that clock the first time it hit the floor I would smash it under my heel.

I don't do alarm clocks, cats keep better time, anyway.

[ryukXsayu27]

Frankly, I could tell who wrote what just by seeing what they wrote down.

A is Phil, because few people whine that grumpily about Fry.

B is Hugh, because of the dark dramatic tone.

C is Alan, Only Alan would find that clever enough to write down.

D is Andy just by process of elimination.

[ODloddy]

When I saw the title I thought it said Gallifrey and was all Doctor Who! lol Love QI and Stephan Fry

[him050]

I cried at the "where is your license!?" part! xD.

[superhamzah85]

@him050

Alan is really bright, to come up with that on the spot, plus the SSA, natural comedian.

[Jcolinsol]

@him050

Yes, it was very moving.

[NoWitnessesNoRegrets]

The snail thing isn't that far fetched. Sounds like quantum superposition.

[ad1170]

@NoWitnessesNoRegrets there is thoeries of animals having some form of psycological connection like how all birds learned how to sit of electric wires and some apps on island wash everying they eat in sea water but that man just pulled it out of his ass his hypothsis more like fails on so many levels 1coincedering snails even have thoughts 2 whetheir they would affect movement and 3 males have more then on partner so will he have the thought of 1 to 100 women in his head?

[NoWitnessesNoRegrets]

@ad1170 What????

I understand each individual word you are using, but i didn't understand a single sentence.

[ad1170]

@NoWitnessesNoRegrets essentially mad man's hypothesis animal show psycological comuncation i which they seen to all learn at the same time like for birds learn to sit on electric wire.But this mans hypothsis would be saying snails have thoughts like humans which they don't whetheir they think at all is questionably plus the fact a male snail has many sexual partners opening the possability that they hear multiple thoughts and last how does this affect their movement .soz dyslexic

[DirectInjected]

@NoWitnessesNoRegrets I think my eyes exploded reading those comments. I swear its a unique language developed in Polynesia.

[KATEisFAB]

Gallimaufrey just makes me think of Gallifrey.

[Awsomousness]

@KATEisFAB I read the name of the episode and came thnking "ooh Doctor Who related ep??"

[Drowninginantimatter]

@KATEisFAB That's why I wanted to watch this episode.

[samsungmartiHKM]

Orangutans CAN walk, sort of

/watch?v=q_REfeFhGs0

[xJONROBSONx]

(as of july 9) 0 people disliked this, which I like to see.

[MrJoeDolan]

@xJONROBSONx August 4th and it stands the same :)

[VamLoveAndKisses]

Who else rewatched the clip of the gibbon singing the mission impossible theme?

[hbanana7]

i need all of those alarm clocks.

[Kallenator1988]

Which bond movie was that picture from, and more importantly who is the bond girl in the picture? ^^

[RasputinGrigori1]

@Kallenator1988

The Bond film is "Thunderball" and the actress is Luciana Paluzzi.

[Mayna00]

@Velzish Haha that's what I was going to write as well!

[For3Years]

I think alans score is the lowest I've ever seen on qi!

[pupil8]

Phil look very dapper in this episode

[bogi18]

That bit Stepehen said about waiters' unbeatable timing, they actually made a sketch about it with Laurie on bits of...

[CoffeeAndThePie]

Can anyone tell me what the four buzzer tunes are from?

[MartinSakur]

Alan mumbling:"Hold on a minute......" Suspicious look....

[kayper54]

Has Phill ALWAYS worn an earring? This is the first time I've noticed.

[csonkabonka]

One point about the show: sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity, however every other artificial additive in sweets does, food coloring, taste enhancers, etc basically are nerve gas. An adult is barely affected by these but kids are more vulnerable.

[ALittleGothicGirl]

@calvinisidore I want to share my life with Stephen Fry.

[lnfreeman]

communicating over long distances with snails is just like what they do in One Piece! I wonder if this history inspired that...(probably not but one can dream)

[engulcykel]

Jupitus is really brilliant in this episode!

[kayper54]

@engulcykel He's just about my favorite guest!

[awfulsails]

The donation clock was actually a Think Geek April Fool's Day item...

[Vamphetamine]

Am I correct when I say Andy is missing a finger or two? Or did my eyes deceive me?

BTW his eyebrow is kick-ass :)

[awfulsails]

@Vamphetamine I think they're just really stubby.

[HojoOSanagi]

My best friend is a native and he still drinks about 4L of water just to make sure he gets up and stays up in the mornings.

[doubledouble55]

"The snails are disgusting. Crawling all over eat other...Get a room!" lol Alan kill me.

[calvinisidore]

I want to have lunch with Stephen Fry.

[jannmatt]

@calvinisidore we all to :D briliant man and indresting to the bone

[thesteveus]

@calvinisidore

Quite

[Kan2209]

@calvinisidore I want to have Stephen Fry for lunch.

I don't really, but I just thought it a good thing to say.

[1serena1hardwick1]

I want to spend eternity with Stephen Fry

[Thenybo]

@calvinisidore I want to go to the pub with him

[alexandramartlove]

thanks for the uploads!!
