QI - Series 2, Episode 8 - Blood Clot

[Lennon4life1968]

Whats green and smells like pork?

Kermit's finger

[TheWisdom13]

"You've spoiled it."

[nonsensicalcompound]

After "What's red and silly?" I expected him to tell Alan, "You are."

[BOSOX9004]

Making a note to add "you fucking pig-eyed sack of shit" to my insult vocabulary.

[spongebsqaurep]

Oh, them Brits. 0:)

(Well, not like we're any better on the other side of the pond... XD)

[xRookie411x]

awesome

[Bardlettt]

Oh, don't look at me like that, you pig-eyed sack of shit!

[Vault101Reject]

what's crap an unfunny?

smithereen1

[Vault101Reject]

i meant "and" of course.

how the hell did i mess that up?

[LittleBoiFen]

What's brown and in a German forest?

A schtick.

[Johanngg]

I love that joke and also Rich Halls few moments later,

What is green and sings? Elvis Parsley, So silly :)

[ToastedSheep]

Very harsh! Poor Alan...lay off, Fry! I was so busy laughing and concentrating on the next potential joke from him (as I bet he was telling them) that I wasn't really paying attention to Stephen.

I'm sure I've heard him use that insult somewhere else as well.

[carachameleon]

he uses it in an episode of A Bit Of Fry And Laurie

[ToastedSheep]

Ah! Thanks! :o)

[Weirfan69]

Wha.. what? is the blood clot joke supposed to make sense? i think i need help with it.

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

If someone is being silly/stupid, you'd go something along the lines of 'You clot!'!

It's a phrase.

A very english one.

In fact, a very Stephen Fry-ish one. ^^

[Weirfan69]

alright, thanks :)

[TossTheParadox]

Stephen Fry and English seem to be synonyms in many contexts:)

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

Isn't it wonderful? c:

[Heidiguard]

@LiekaQueenofDarkness: Thanx for that eplanation! I thought it must be something along those lines but since I'm not a native speaker I rather felt like Alan looks in that scene.

[pacmandem]

@Heidiguard I'm a 'native' speaker. Born and raised in England and I've never EVER heard that. I think people were too eager for an explanation and thumbed up that comment without requesting a source...

[jackamatyus]

@pacmandem it is a native term, an old one, and it does bascially mean a silly/foolish person. It's more of an old slang term though. Type 'clot silly person' into google and the first few links should provide various definitions and proof.

[Daipire]

@LiekaQueenofDarkness

I'd have to disagree with you.

Because a 'very Stephen Fry-ish phrase' is apparently "fucking pig-eyed sack of shit!"

[poopooisbad]

Also, Alan is wearing red, if that helps.

[SirMildredPierce]

Alan's reaction is just priceless.
