Rob Brydon- it's not the fire that kills you!!!!

[kingt34]

QI for children XD

[ProducShuns]

I would watch a tv series where Rob Brydon takes on a primary school science class

[jonnychant]

QUALITY SCIENCE TEACHER

[SlockNCFC191]

I love Rob Brydon, we all know someone in real life who acts in complete seriousness like his parody act xD

[FKD7313]

I love Dom!!!!

[SchwarzundWeis]

where would a fire fighter team NOT put out your house??? WHY?!!? that is scandalous!

[phob1a1]

@SchwarzundWeis When there were no public fire fighters, but only teams employed by insurance companies. You should watch the episode, Rob Brydon is as awesome as one can be.

[TheYoo2b]

when I was in school, a firefighter came in and gave us a speech. he said in the average house fire for every 8 people that are killed by smoke, one is killed by the flames.

So if this is true rob brydon isn't 100% right

[tommos1]

BLOODY WELSH!!!

[glassoniongirl64]

@tommos1 Oi, what's wrong with the Welsh? XD

[wfet]

Rob brydon = hipster troll

[IvarrtheSpineless]

"Your Lordship is absolutely right."

Clive Anderson at his lawyerly best!

[blainyrules]

It's not the fire that kills you. Unless you've been doused in petrol and had a match thrown at you.

[MrTarryhoot]

Sounds like a condescending safety officer I know, you know who you are.

[nejtilsvampe]

so If I set myself on fire and hold my breath for 10 minutes, then put it out, then setting myself on fire again and repeat.. I won't die? - someone should do an experiment on this, I find this hard to believe...

[maneatingtoilets]

Smoke can and does burn you. It can get incredibly hot, so hot it melts your skin off. Also kind of interesting is that when you burn something, the process initially turns the solid you burn into a liquid, and then the liquid into gases which make up the smoke, then when this smoke gets hot enough it literally sets on fire. So when your house fills with smoke, and temperature increases, the smoke can spontaneously alight. So even the empty spaces of your home are on fire.

[Redheadfury]

@maneatingtoilets Really depends on the type of fire, wood smoke isn't all that deadly (It's not good for you but won't burn your skin off) however when plastic starts to give off fumes, and gas, and metal, and all the other stuff in your house sets on fire then the fumes and the smoke won't be too healthy.

Just goes to show - house fires are dangerous :O

[k9pker]

Isn't it also due to carbon monoxide poisoning from the incomplete combustion of material as well and that's a more significant factor.

[GVlogs]

@k9pker it's not incomplete combustion, it's combustion in a low oxygen environment.

[Raveityourway]

@k9pker ...that's exactly what the smoke is, that's what he's talking about.

[nickstephenson797]

reminded me of gollum at 0:58 lol

[IMZZIKKLE]

why couldnt i have him as a primary school teacher....would have been so funny....

[BoomDowg]

is it keith barrett or rob brydon? Someone tell me!

[dimmock999]

@BoomDowg Ron Brydon, Kieth Barrett is one of his characters.

[Crunchy68]

What episode is this?

[Crunchy68]

That was hilarious! I love it when they get back at Stephen a little.

[randomusername36]

This actually happened somewhere in the US. Someone was just outside of the city boundary so they paid county taxes instead of city, and the city fire department only showed up to make sure it didn't go over to the neighbor's house.

[MrHypnofan]

@randomusername36 I believe it was in Tennessee.

[Leowen2]

Its just like the speed doesnt kill you, its the sudden stop.

[ninacat88]

well it does, clive, you're not going to tie me up in legal ease here!

[kosmosmax]

@ninacat88 legalese*

[charlotte4112]

Wouldn't it be the heat that causes burns and potentially cooks you that kills...

[JaytheOstrich]

@charlotte4112 Smoke inhalation kills you very much faster. Burning you beyond your outer layer (skin) takes awhile. Not breathing, due to smoke, takes less than a minute, or very few minutes anyways.

[WhimsicalQuandary]

@charlotte4112

Only if you're standing in the middle of the flames or something. The smoke usually knocks you out long before the fire itself burns you to cinders.

[mortuseon]

spectacular.

[LukeLewisAnimation]

The Welsh are so funny

[Yammenkow]

And I'm just thinking "It's not the nicotine that kills! It's the smoooo-oooke, the smooo-ooke!"

[555hugs]

@Yammenkow I thought the exact same thing, haha

[MashkaZelandiashi]

Is it the slinky?!

[standutch]

Rob Brydon would make such an awesome school teacher

[MrKarlifen]

I didnt enjoy Rob Brydons humor at first. but now I absolutely adore it! And his presentation is flawless.

[casper123]

Rob's hilarious.

[pluuuuume]

So if you're thrown into a fire, wearing an oxygen mask to avoid smoke inhalation...

[jojoflyfffan]

@pluuuuume yes you would live :P , now go out and try it :D

[Psychorror]

Him waving the little red fan around makes this all the more amusing.

[dextermanus]

It IS in wow...

[ElMufro]

Brilliant

[deddlesknoxville]

why does he look so much balder here than i've ever seen him before?

[mattissotrendy]

@deddlesknoxville I was just thinking that. Maybe it's the lighting.

[JoeyPsych]

brilliant

[MrJonnieboi]

It's also the hot air, as funny as it sounds, it dries the lungs and the oxygen molecules cannot be absorbed

[DCdabest]

Loves how he just hi-jacks the host role from Steven!!!

[kernel16]

What happened to his hair?!

[annaarkadyevna]

Proof that if comedy fails Rob Brydon could be a teacher. :L

[IcyThrills]

@annaarkadyevna Fuck you! Rob Brydon has some pride, respect and dignity. It would be a disgrace to destroy all three in one go.

[nukebacon876]

@annaarkadyevna I would actually love to have Rob as a teacher

[MsBasiaSuperb]

"And if we can't breathe, what do we do?"....."We die!"

[MissFotini]

I'm so glad the other comedians decided to jump in the Rob Brydon Sandpit of Hilarity and play along :) Very funny.

[dramaticafantastica]

I love how Rob Brydon can take control of the whole quiz and turn it into his own little sketch :)

[Konstiin]

which episode with dom joly?

[jaredwatson76]

Brydon does a perfect Stephen Fry with his explanation in terms of mannerisms and delivery. Hilarious!

[dwellswell]

whats up with robs hair? its a lot thinner here

[EdwardBellaRen]

it takes three average sized breathes of smoke to kill you. this is because of the toxins from the melting plastics around you

[GildedWildebeest]

Hahaha, it is funny because he explains something obvious!

[stableflea]

he reminds me of my primary school teacher in this vid

[Satarack]

So to summarize smoke, which has no oxygen in it since the fire uses it all, fills your lungs and you suffocate and die long before you would have burned to death.

Technically that does mean the fire killed you; just that it wasn't the flames but the smoke.

[GraphiteGum]

@Satarack there is Oxygen in smoke

[Satarack]

@GraphiteGum It depends on the conditions of the fire. If you are actually inside a fire, covered in flames, the fire is going to use up practically all the oxygen before it can reach you and you will suffocate. It's not that the smoke is toxic, but it can be depending on what is burning.

But suffocation doesn't require a complete lack of oxygen. Mountain climbers take oxygen tanks with them at high altitudes because there is so little oxygen that they use more then they can breath in.

[Sidowse]

@GraphiteGum yeah there is oxygen in carbon dioxide too.

[jursle]

Yeah, but that doesn't make it breathable. Humans do not use the atom Oxygen, we use the molecule oxygen.

[Sidowse]

@jursle You need to read the post to which I was replying. I was taking the piss, there is no breathable oxygen in smoke.

[genuinelyaperson]

He does the patronising Health and Safety officer so well

[avdald]

If I pour gasoline on you and set you ablaze, I assure you that you'll be dead long before the fumes start to bother you. Any volunteers so that I can prove it?

[Twaddlefish]

@avdald Film and it and get your mum to post the video.

[tossabaddle]

It's not the SMOKE that kills you. It's the CO-gass. If you're sleeping and the entire room fills with CO. You won't even wake up. Our bodies can't feel the difference between CO and Oxygen. so you'll just sleep on and die of oxygen-derivation, even if you're avake you won't notis, you'll just pass out. (sorry about any bad spelling)

[tossabaddle]

@MajikkaniHand ok, thanks. I'll try and find out how to use that. I think I might have the language set to norwegian. I'm a little dissapointed this was the best "angry-comment" I got :/

[MajikkaniHand]

@tossabaddle It's not an angry-comment, it's just answering the last bit in parenthesis--if you want to improve your spelling, like. Cheers!

[tossabaddle]

@MajikkaniHand Guess I got what I deserved for that comment :P

[MissPompousTwat]

@MajikkaniHand

Youtube has a spellcheck built in? How do I activate it?

[MajikkaniHand]

@MissPompousTwat Did a check, and realized it was my browser, not youtube. Woops! try using Firefox, or Chrome, or one of the many other browsers that have a built-in spellcheck.

[MissPompousTwat]

@MajikkaniHand

I just installed Firefox and I checked the 'check my spelling while I type' option, but it still won't show my mistakes. Where do you have this spellchecking option in Firefox?

[MajikkaniHand]

@MissPompousTwat I'm really not sure--I'm not the best person to answer this question--try Googling it? I know there are add-ons that will do it for you, and again your best bet is going to be Google.

[MissPompousTwat]

@MajikkaniHand

I found it! Yes, I had to install a spell check add-on and then also an English dictionary, and now when I misspell a word and hit space, it underlines it in red. Otherwise, I would have written 'missspell' haha!

Thanks!

[TINMOCC]

I have no idea of what was funny about this, but I still couldn't stop laughing.

[bignicky88]

"you're not going to tie me up in legalese here"

[prodprod]

I'd be royally pissed off back then if I had fire insurance and I had a slacker neighbor who didn't bother because he figured -- hey, I'm next to you, you've got it, if my house catches fire, your fire department will come and put my house out on *your dime* to keep yours from catching fire.

Cheap fuck.

[pacmandem]

@prodprod I'm sure an arrangement was met where neighbors would go halves in on a plaque. If you actually apply some thought to an issue you seem so ready so comment on you might not sound so stupid.

[prodprod]

@pacmandem I'm sure such an arrangement *could* be met, if neighbors chose to be neighborly. But since such insurance was voluntary, there wasn't, in fact, any requirement on the part of neighbors to be neighborly and to enter into any such *arrangements* or to go halves, quarters, or anything else. They could simply not pay, let you bear the full burden and have the fire department put out their burning houses to keep yours from burning down.

It's called being selfish. People do it.

[WalterLiddy]

Wow Brydon is totally going bald.

[innit27]

lovely jubbly

[Wentelteefje]

Clive has got NO neck

[saveusmilkboy]

"your lordship is absolutely right!" lol

[SmashTactics]

HAHA I love it Rob does stuff like this.

[Obsidian1392]

omg he's so cute 

[AngelBiLove]

is it flames? haha

[lakmilis]

doh, didn't you notice in the end what this ended up as? an impersonation of Fry, even if startre dperhaps not with that intention ^^

[TrinneLovesAll13]

Hahahahaha, I want him as my teacher xD

[872463051]

*whitty comment about the number of dislikes... blah blah blah...* Oh, wait. no dislikes!

[dmerfield]

Stephen Fry just got Brydon'd

[dillonator42]

@dmerfield Or did Rob Brydon just get Fried? You can have that one if you like.

[IoEstasCedonta]

It's not really the smoke itself, but the oxygen-poor air that's associated with it. Introducing smoke particles to an otherwise healthy room wouldn't be good for you, but you wouldn't be in any immediate danger; however, with the fire having consumed most of the oxygen, you're likely to suffocate.

[Shinaikid]

@IoEstasCedonta or its the smoke which has carbon monoxide in it which bonds with the oxygen carrying haemoglobins in your blood causing you to die

[IoEstasCedonta]

@Shinaikid Not quickly. Carbon monoxide poisoning is slow; if you're aware of oxygen-rich air high in carbon monoxide, you'll have no trouble getting out. Since it's odorless, though, people who aren't alerted to a leak will tend to pass out and never wake up. A room without oxygen, though, is a much different story, although the damage done by the smoke is a factor, but it's more from its heat than any chemical.

[MartinJWillett]

@IoEstasCedonta A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, you appear to be lethally misinformed and seem to be more than happy to spread this misinformation. Carbon monoxide has a greater affinity with haemoglobin than does oxygen. 50 to 80% of fire deaths are caused by smoke inhalation, this is NOT caused by a lack of oxygen but by thermal damage to lungs and poisoning by carbon monoxide, cyanide and other poisons.

[killchickeneggboy]

PATRONISING HUMOUR

[Poderosa20]

It's so sad that this actually happened in Tennessee a few months ago, the firefighters wouldn't put out a fire at a family's house because they hadn't paid the tax, but they waited and put out the fire when it spread to the neighbor's house.

[ChocChipCookie1]

Love this :D I wish he was my teacher..

[DMStern]

@KidHypr That was the joke.

[DMStern]

The fire brigade not putting out the fire because you didn't pay your fee? That could never happen in 2010!

[KingOrcus]

He's pretending to be Stephen. Awesome.

[Rocky75555]

@KingOrcus do you mean coogan? Because I hate it when people say he tries to be like him.

[KingOrcus]

@Rocky75555 Er... NOOO... I mean like Stephen Fry. Because he's imitating his way of giving lengthy, professional-like explanations into what he's talking about. He could just say "the fire doesn't kill you, it's the smoke that chokes people," but he drags it out.

[lashlashlashlashlash]

his hair..?

[mapo12]

QI for dummies. Hosted by Rob Brydon XD

[lanegwyn]

I feel like I shouldn't find Rob Brydon funny, but I so so so so so do.

[catsheart]

Haha he's acting as if he's stephen fry

nice

[tinkerbellkw16]

i LOVE rob brydon!!
