QI XL G16 - Geometry

[cipher656james]

i misread the first comment and thought there was an n in cuts

[Mexiqtioner66]

wait wait wait...

Well i heard of the Acropolis were the parathion is....

that there are NO STRAIGHT LINES.

[cyber952]

Didn't they test punching sharks in the nose on Mythbusters and it worked?

[shidoink]

i love johnny! "when are you gonna realise he isnt interested"

[molegoddess]

Ugh, SHUT UP, Johnny Vegas! He's funny, but he talks way too loud. I hate when people do that.

[snappycatchy]

That's a good woody sort of wood "gone".

[RespectYourViews]

anyone else reminded of monty python by this episode?

[TheRealSmacker]

onomatapeia?

[marconesounds]

Vegas dominated that...unfortunately.

[pietzeekoe]

What do shark have to do with geometry?

[RhunDraco]

They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is . . .

[Mr5iron]

Rob's hands are so small.



[pesahson]

When I saw this for the first time and saw that Vegas is on, I went 'ugh'. But it grew on me and now this episode is one of my absolute favorites! Also thanks to the dynamics between Vegas and Fry&Brydon.

[KonijNx2]

@pesahson

Agreed. I tended to not care much for Vegas previously but on QI he's not bad.

[Nepenthe13]

Why the hell would you have Johnny Vegas as a guest on anything?

He's neither funny nor especially clever, just a loud and annoying waste of time.

[RespectYourViews]

@Nepenthe13

some of the things he says are so profoundly stupid I can't help but laugh.

His voice does irritate me greatly however.

[Inlelendri]

Okay, it's always nice when you *actually* know the correct answer to a question on QI, but I got so happy that I knew about the types of columns that I actually shouted it out -_-'

[ghosthunter2006]

@Inlelendri let me guess , you study architecture or interior design?) coz i knew all the types too)

[HCCOldGuy]

lol Perfect 69 likes and 0 dislikes

[kalslater]

06:23 I couldn't stop laughing

[kalslater]

@kalslater in fact i came very close to vomiting

[TheRogueMod]

"They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is..."

[Inlelendri]

@TheRogueMod Glad I wasn't the only one thinking of that XD

[TheTelepathicKid]

I hate it when they spend too long on a topic

[ChainX]

The reaction to Fry's "Gurgle" left me in stitches.

[LordMatt123]

There are lots of cuts in this episode compared to the others I've noticed.

[BalmafulaLanando]

@LordMatt123 The video was from Dave so there are two cuts for ad breaks and they cut a couple of small things said by Stephen in between topics to make the cut smoother.

[TheFloat303]

@BalmafulaLanando there are no adverts on the bbc.

[jamieelynnx]

@TheFloat303 But this video is from the channel Dave, they repeat it from BBC but they show adverts so they have to cut things to make it run smoother.

[trebange]

@LordMatt123 There are cuts because of that idiot Johnny Vegas. He's ruined every episode of QI I've ever watched.

[jusfint]

@trebange Johnny Vegas isn't actually an idiot, you know.

[naryanr]

Johnny actually makes me laugh more than anyone on this show.

[naryanr]

What does Johnny say at 22:30?

[P1nkR]

@naryanr I would like to know too, someone please help us!

[radar1974]

@naryanr @P1nkR He says 'Do they make scissors for both?'. He's referring to the the fact they make left and right handed scissors, and that's why he goes on about cutting out a string of men out of paper.

[naryanr]

@radar1974 Ah right. Despite not being that hard to hear I probably never would have got it just cause it was such a fecking weird, out of context thing to say. Thanks.

[TheLemonGrenade]

Good god I love Johnny Vegas

He's the only man I know that can make drama hilarious

And also because he can make Stephen squirm with pseduo on-screen guilt

HAH

[Devoti]

i'm actually rather surprised at mitchell's comment on the sharks... he is usually intelligent, but not when it comes to this. personally i have aquaphobia and are scared of fish for no apparent reason, but it would be really stupid of me to want all sea creatures to die just because i'm scared of them. also i think sharks are one of the scariest, but i really do wish that people stopped killing them.

[Devoti]

i've seen them all... now wat do?

[flawnJr]

@Devoti REPEAT!! :O

[Devoti]

@flawnJr lol, i'm actually doing that right now.

[stfunoob707]

... Alan knows more about America than i do, and im american. i didn't even know how we divided our own land, or about the slaves... our schools can't even teach us our own history how can we be expected to know about others :( also why can't we switch to the metric system. we had to take tests once a year, in high school no less, to remind us what measurement system we used, cause we don't even know how to use it properly... i need to move to the UK -.-

[lisaking22]

@stfunoob707 No, all you need to do is educate yourself.

[PointsofData]

@stfunoob707 @stfunoob707 I didn't know about the dividing either (though I did know about the slaves getting the mule and such.) But would you really expect your teacher to teach you about how we -use- to divide our land? That doesn't seem like something that would come in handy, seems more like a fun little factoid. Anyway, you know it now. And instead of moving somewhere else, why don't you educate yourself more so there's one more smart American in the world?

[AngryChamois]

I love Mitchell's "witchcraft!" outcry when they show the triangle trick. 

[mrhenk007]

i love the music at the start

[StickSkits]

Hey guys, this might be a bit random but look at this photo i jus found of Stephen Fry on internet x)) cdn.smosh.com/sites/default/fi­les/bloguploads/youtube-commen­ts-5.jpg

[RaincloudPlay]

"How much of the moon can you see from the Eeaarth?". Oh gee, that made me laugh.

[Bekka96]

Thank you QI for explaining that triangle problem for me. It has annoyed me for so long, and it feels as if a burden has been lifted from my shoulders!

[cuilwen1]

-"when the war comes"

-"when the what??"

LOL

[hellomoon23]

If you swap Rob for Bill Bailey and David Mitchell for Jimmy Car you will have THE PERFECT PANEL!!!!

[VayDooble]

@the2crowrox @Devoti Are you talking about Stephen Fry? :P

[the2crowrox]

Damnit, I was so excited to have David and Rob on the same episode, them being my favorite people ever, and this idiot stole the show with his drivel.

[pesahson]

@the2crowrox I know what you mean. I used to hasitate to watch an episode if Vegas was in it. I like how at one point you see that Rob also acknowledges that Johnny is the odd one out :)

[Devoti]

good lord, who let that retard on the show? lol, it's like an 8yr old going to a university.

[SDMFbroly]

awesome , i love your uploads cause i can actually sit down and get comfertable unlike the the other qi vids ive found :P

[FollowerofEywa]

[SDMFbroly]
