QI XL F06 - Fakes and Frauds

[mrsraddliffe]

I can't get enough of this show

[easyadventurer]

Shouldn't the audience have won with 5 points?

[z3r0t0l3r4ns]

@easyadventurer

they forget to count the audience's points sometimes

[Acemach]

Listening to Stephen Fry's alliteration is like swimming at a sunny Saturday seaside with a silky soft cotton candy cupcake congealing in your countermanded trousers.

[ELuhn]

Some birds, like the Lyrebird and the mockingbird, have mimicry behavior in the wild. But other birds like the parrot, the mynah and (I happen to know) the crow only mimic when in captivity; they don't mimic in the wild. I'm very curious as to why.

[piggy201]

@ELuhn It gets bored

[atjnAdfhhjea]

Lies! The audience has 5 points, that's 21 more than Sean!

[atjnAdfhhjea]

"What's the New London Bridge doing in Arizona?"

"The Mexican's stole it."

[NightBlade081]

I love this show. It is a perfect example of how learning can be fun.

[atjnAdfhhjea]

@NightBlade081 Sometimes it's also a perfect example of not doing one's research properly, so it's kind of like wikipedia.

[redflsot]

Love it when Stephen Fry gets a big laugh, he's just as good as all the modern comedians :)

[Ninterd2]

I thought jam and jelly actually weren't the same...

[ixcaliber]

@Ninterd2 You are correct, they actually are different.

[rYAn5m1tH97]

does alan ever move out of the studio, i think they keep him locked up in there from the end of 1 episode to the start of another =D

[Raznor83]

I want to teach a lyre bird to laugh like Jimmy Carr

[pdlbean]

Marcus Brigstocke was on QI?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE NOW?!

[thebigpony2703]

the buzzer round at the start was so hilarious!

[abbynormal0ne]

Jam and jelly are different in america. Jam has fruit bits. Jelly does not.

[Gazjohnful]

@abbynormal0ne Unless its fruit jelly of course! Jelly is Jam in america... Jello is Jelly... Its fucked up I know, since we (english) created the term Jam and Jelly but... oh well.

[GoblinXXX]

@Gazjohnful "Jam" in the US is used for chunky fruit preserves and marmalade. If it's just as sweet but smooth and translucent, it's "jelly". "Jello" is the trademarked name for a brand of instant gelatin, but it's so widely known we often call any gelatin that, just as it's not unusual to call any facial tissue "Kleenix".

[23Amulree]

PB AND J!

[groovingbadly]

Surely the audience should have won with their five points?

[Simoneiscooler]

"A French writer trying to make a point... a git"

[JimmySteller]

5:12 Fry's entire expression and deliverance of that line has me laughing every single time.

[captainboots]

Jimmy's "Hollyoaks" joke at 21:44 always cracks me up

[e7l13]

I missed about 5 minutes because i started singing the lilly the pink song

[e7l13]

Jelly is digusting.

Jam is nice. on toast.

My bro made vodka jelly the other day. tasted weird.

[teknotoast]

@e7l13 What are your feelings on marmalade?

[mikemurphy383]

Stephen is almost like a father on this figure trying to teach his unruly children lol

[FrenchieLeToast]

Wait. British people don't eat PB&J's? O_o

[KapStuf]

@FrenchieLeToast I've never seen it done, or met anyone who admitted to doing it. We'll happily admit to drunken gay sex or enjoying televised curling championships, but not to mixing peanut butter with jam. Or jelly.

I've met *one* british person who liked cheese and jam sandwiches. He watched the curling too.

[FrenchieLeToast]

@KapStuf You have no idea how much of a mindfuck this is for me. It's an absolute staple food in the States.

[KapStuf]

@FrenchieLeToast :-). We still have ramen noodles, McD, KFC and pizzahut, hershey's and sort-of cheeze wizz. And we don't *always* put milk in tea.

Come over the pond and feel right at home. Just be warned, London is *full* of American tourists.

[HumaneAnon]

The hell? Jam and jelly are different in the US.

Jam = awesome.

Jelly = watered down shit.

[ukmoore]

Jelly and Jam is not the same in America.

[DoneWithDogma]

I'd go uber gay for you nick

[whiteoutfailsafe]

What does Sean tell Alan at 26:58? "I really thought you were gonna ...?"

[larsdb]

@whiteoutfailsafe "say Arsenal"

[LuluPaperBird]

"I'm a salamander"

[rfujhtyihnythjthtdjy]

im australian and i havent even heard of drongo until this video...

[flodnak]

In American English, "jam" is made from whole fruit, "jelly" is made from fruit juice.

[sallycat300]

@flodnak I tried to explain that to my boyfriend who is from England (I'm American) and he just did not get it XD

[manulito2]

i love, how sean lock just randomly throws in words and phrases

[MatOddity]

woah, no PB & J sandwiches

[meowandmeow]

i love sean lock

[Acting17]

I use both Jam and Jelly, thank you very much. haha

[elgostine]

he was a french writer trying to make a point and therefore a git..

XD i just love the not even disguised attitude towards the french.

[LanceDirk]

Before I watched this video: "Who is Marcus Brigstocke?"

After I watched this video: "Who is Marcus Brigstocke?"

[LanceDirk]

Those audience murmurs with Fry says "astrologists, fortune tellers and other liars" made me wish I was in the audience so I could yell "So why did you all come to this show?"

[Camohat100]

wait...they dont have peanut butter and jelly in the uk? wtf

[Georgeous129]

@Camohat100 we have peanut butter AND jelly, i just guess we don't have PB & J sandwiches

[michealangelo12865]

was the 1 person a pig faced lady?

[JimmySteller]

10:13 - 10:16 one of Jimmy Carr's best moments on the show.

[Swidhelm]

Incidentally, here in Canada, jam, and jelly are two different things. Similar, but different.

[daughterofbastet]

@Swidhelm Same in the US, as far as I know.

[Swidhelm]

@daughterofbastet Heh, it seems QI didn't get accurate information.

[DruoxTheShredder]

@Swidhelm A MISTAKE!?  ON A T.V. SHOW!? NO FUCKING WAY!

[UndeeniablyDee]

@Swidhelm I live in America and know Jam and Jelly as two different things also. So I'm not exactly sure where they got this bit of 'trivia'. Jam = Actual fruits with the seeds and everything. Jelly = Made with artificial flavoring.

[wealthmaster71]

" He was a French writer trying to make a point, and therefore a git!" Love Mr Fry.

[inazrabuu]

that 1 person who dislike it, must be BBC

[spoony2795]

@extrusve flips the bird ??O.o

[mickdukes]

I don't know why, but 7:20-7:23 is probably one of the funniest things I've seen on this show.

[beni5wolfie]

snake oil would be really good for the snake it was taken from!

[extrusve]

At 32:30 Sean violently flips the bird...

[saganemc2]

@D3w10n anyone who openly labels themselves homophobic is, whether they have realized it or not yet, more than likely gay themselves. Or else why would you even bother, what is there to fear, think about it.

[llkdll]

@saganemc2 It just comes out of ignorance, otherwise you're saying most of the world is homosexual. At some point everybody is homophobic, but out of experience and understanding is the tabboo removed.

[Primus2X]

Disliking this show is blasphemy

[2spoonsmaloy]

im sure this 1 person 'dislikes' a video having never watched it...how can you 'dislike' QI?

[D3w10n]

@2spoonsmaloy There is no real explanation; I am a bit homophobic and even I love Stephen :)

[Swidhelm]

@2spoonsmaloy Be devoutly religious maybe?

[LanceDirk]

@2spoonsmaloy That person is probably of Questionable Intelligence.

[HazankoDWO]

@2spoonsmaloy pressed wrong button?

[coltmanm]

@2spoonsmaloy probably by missing the like :)

[Technodreamer]

@2spoonsmaloy Obviously, they were lying.

[MichaelPolios]

@2spoonsmaloy Well, he/she probably disliked it because for no reason other than the fact that there were hitherto no dislikes and thought it would be cool to be the first dislike. The other 4 probably disliked it after reading your comment, which explains why you also got 5 downs on your comment.

[Nerfi]

@2spoonsmaloy KNOWLEDGE IS THE DEVIL AND STEPHEN FRY IS GAY THAT MAKES HIM EVIL AND GOING TO HELL. SATAN SIPHONS YOUR SOUL THE MORE YOU LEARN. STAY IGNORANT AND GIVE THE CHURCH YOUR MONEY.

[BIownChicken]

@Nerfi HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ringforrohan]

@2spoonsmaloy You can dislike it if you are not interested in facts and choose to stay uninformed on neat things.

[RachelHurdWood4ever2]

A thousand pounds!

[TheWeightofAir]

You sir are a hero
