The Making of (brilliance)

[Ventilator313]

39:24-39:40 <3

[bencutler1066]

Is the science elf Alan's brother?

[guykruger1]

"The making of brilliance" should be the story of the story of David Mitchell's conceiving, but I'll let this pass, Qi is huge too.

[guykruger1]

@guykruger1 I must've meant only once "the story of"

[Gjeorje]

"What do you suffer from if you`re afraid of heights?" -Diarrhoea?

[kurtmcfried]

XDDDD "Oh! He said it!" *holds up little card*

[Jcolinsol]

Why... why is David Mitchell wearing that puffy shirt?

[Jcolinsol]

@Jcolinsol

And, is that a skirt? How the hell?

[Sboy200]

can I just check... after Stephen and Alien.... is David Mitchell everyones favourite??

[shaun056]

@Sboy200 There's an alien?

[guykruger1]

@Sboy200 Are you serious? David Mitchell comes way BEFORE them on that list!

[PureNightfall]

What was David Mitchell wearing? XD

[McPrfctday]

at 31:00 If I was Sandi Togsvik I would consider that 'divine payback' for Rik Mayall saying "what's that smell?... Have you been saying 'Sandi Togsvik' again!?", in 'Bottom, live'. That's such an excellent few seconds with that fan outside the studio!

[MrThezho]

I wish they could release some of the uncut shows

[brewerbrian420]

Thanks a bunch for the upload. I have recently found QI and have to say its my favorite show. Wish we had a show like this in the US, but like Top Gear US it would probably be terrible without Stephen Fry and Alan Davies.. Thanks again.

[hammythehippy]

once ross noble comes into it, its golden!hell of a man

[Emsyphine]

What did Johnny say? 11:21

[dasetman]

@Emsyphine "Do they make scissors for both?"

[Emsyphine]

@dasetman Haha! Thanks :)

[Tessatron]

DAVID MITCHELL YOU DANDY TART

WHAT -ARE- YOU WEARING <3

[438wildcats]

Brilliant!

[438wildcats]

Wonderful!

[antarctica7]

sorry what does johnny vegas say at 11.21?

[DanOFitzpatrick]

Daniel Radcliffe looks like he's had his first orgasm when he's told he's right about the West Ka Papyrus.

[DreamerNova]

58:48 I love how channels can make fun of their own shows like this!

[albertusj]

38:38 That monolithic building in the background is really ugly.

[AndTheWailers]

uploaded on 9/11 :( 

[BuddhaonaBus]

@AndTheWailers Grow up

[AndTheWailers]

@BuddhaonaBus I'm grown enough to remember when those 3000 people died.

[BuddhaonaBus]

@AndTheWailers And so this video of a BBC comedy show that was uploaded ten years after makes it a relevant comment?

[AndTheWailers]

@BuddhaonaBus i just thought it was Quite Interesting

[notlikemeification]

02:05 A sheep or General Melchett?

[infinite4711]

@blulemonade I see thanks! Great show, grtz from the Netherlands.

[blulemonade]

@infinite4711 'Do they make scissors for both?' is what our dear chum Johnny Vegas so wisely said.

[infinite4711]

@Georocket6 ,nor can I...anyone??

[datalava]

James Harkin (26:34) looks like one of the Jonathan Creek doppelgangers

[ingdos]

"I love the fact that they have loads of facts, because, mainly, it's about the facts for me" 40:34

:p

[celtickiwi11]

fry, Cambridge....

[Omgosh120]

What on earth is david wearing? O_O

[celtickiwi11]

who actually dared to dislike this?



[Georocket6]

What does Johnny say about the Orange and the Lemon "something something with both", I can't understand the first part

[Kujirudo]

15:52

'And I said to the research team...'

'CUCKLEDOODLEDOOOOOO!!!'

[yonyorklad]

@mrholm1976 Sounds like 'But do they make scissors for both?' to me. // :S

[painxtreme]

@mrholm1976 You know I had it worked out once, but Ive since forgot, and now I just cant sort it.

[mateous192]

32:46

Chicken can lay eggs without them being fertilized. This means the eggs are made up of non-genetically-mixed material, and that the fertilization alters the contents of the eggs (the thing that gets hatched).

This means that some kind of proto-chicken got fertilized, laid a proto-chicken egg that contained a mutated offspring that we would today call a chicken.

So obviously, the chicken came first. QEFD.

[Brendan9895]

@mateous192 Nope, the egg came first because animals before the chicken laid eggs :P

[leavetheherbitalone]

@Brendan9895 Everybody knows that the chicken comes before the egg. If you don't believe me look it up for yourself in any dictionary.

[Brendan9895]

@leavetheherbitalone Nope. birds evolved from reptiles and fish, both of which lay eggs, therefore eggs came before chickens, even if it did mean a chickens egg it does not specify this so I can assume it means any egg.

[albinoman13bt]

@Brendan9895 The "whooshing" noise is a joke going over your head.

[Brendan9895]

@albinoman13bt Oh sorry you should have pointed out it was sarcasm, you do realise there are genuinely people that retarded on the internet who seriously think like that?

Remember: The only thing the internet can't do, is sarcasm

[albinoman13bt]

@Brendan9895 I guess I missed it. Youtube at least needs italics. The one thing I've learned from the internet is if you can imagine it, someone out there fits the description.

[MerelMystery]

How can the latest episode (with brian cox) already be in this?

[insideous57]

no idea what the hell they interrupted David from doing, but i love the way the cameramen can barely hold in the lols ^^

[redbeaver]

the fry montage at 39:30 is so attractive i love it

[NAnJ4]

I think what David is wearing has to do with The Immortal Bard episode in the I series...

[chenrikl]

Radcliffe was aweful!

[Zephanus]

@chenrikl i thought he was fine.

[JSCwrd]

Ha, look at Sean on the screen at 39:01

[technicolorexplosion]

It's nice to finally be able to put faces to the QI elves :)

[ciaochowbella]

They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is!

[AshtonAshes]

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE GNASHERS ON THOSE CHILDREN?!

[ceralgirl]

What Jimmy said is so true. Watching QI is time spent in good company :).

[idiatico]

i want to see the 2 hour version very qi episode

[ishsawah]

I am so in love with Alan.

[YashinNashi]

This re-appeared in my subscriptions box, so I'm watching it again and loving it again.

[GeneralZhadow]

Justin Pollard DOES look like an Elf.

[anneywhere]

"I know one that it's not. Ceiling." <3 you lee mack!

[bermudaguy1]

I think we caught David on his 'tranny' days!

[RourkeInsanity]

Watched the whole video. Keep up the good work everyone! I LOVE the show! In every way possible. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[MerelMystery]

no idea what david mitchell said, I was paying to much attention to his outfit :p

[ELuhn]

56:51 "once in a couple of blue moons." Heh. Inside joke there. Heh.

[CharmsLithe]

I told the turtle story to my Philosophy professor today. I've found QI has given me much to say in this class.

[t075iana]

@SilentAttackTV Stephen* not Steven

[SilentAttackTV]

@t075iana Oh shit... my mistake.. well, it's too late now... 8 thumbs up and everything lol

[TugsN]

@SilentAttackTV World treasure.

[DeadSOLz]

53:45

Does any clever person know which episode and which series that is from? Might be "G", no?

[DeadSOLz]

To my own reply-

S07E06 (Series G).

[stevebloodymckenna]

love the title "making of (Brilliance)" which it so is! thank you so much for uploading, QI will always be one of my favourite programmes ever!!

[Nasosdag]

What does Johnny Vegas say for the orange and lemon thingy? Where they all go to pieces?

[conorverified]

@Nasosdag "Do they make scissors for both?"

[Nasosdag]

@conorverified Thanks mate!

[scientifico]

Can I just blow kisses at the creator(s) of Qi and the youtubers who have loaded the various shows? Thank you for finally giving me a group (fans of Qi and the Elves) to pledge my allegiance after my lone suffering in a sea of dullards. I used to think Jeopardy was the "cat's meow" but I am a full fanatic for the show. Bravo!

[Kujirudo]

Did I just spot Brian Blessed in an upcoming episode @39:18 ? :D

[akm58]

@Kujirudo Yeah he's on the Christmas special, I think. The whole I season's cast is listed on wikipedia!

[pacmansays]

That's how David Mitchell dresses in his spare time

[BioYuGi]

Why hasn't Eddie Izzard been on more episodes?!

[TVFILMBUFF]

awesome.

love me some QI

[Mash287]

Ah I love QI!!

Does anyone know which episode is the one at 52:30? I want to see the rest of that.

[Mayna00]

@Mash287 Series C, Episode 7, Constellations.

Gotta love Jezza and Sean together!

[jemgrrargh]

@Mash287 i googled the names of the three panelists and it said "QI season 3 episode 7"! a good combo of guys.

[rayhs1984]

@Mash287 C S03E07

[foliefly]

Steven "Umm"ing and "Aaah"ing is my favorite.

[NamesForDogs]

David Mitchell's shirt at about 47 min in is amazing.

[0679739041]

What "J" themes can you read on the board at 30:23? I'm deciphering Journalism, Justice, Jumble, Jobs.

[Sanblom]

@0679739041 J-Animals, Jolly Japes, Journeys. Hard to read, though.

[digitalintent]

"Does the Pope eat beaver?"

No. I hear those religious types prefer to gobble on snakes.

[PollyJuice]

@digitalintent

Catholic priests seem partial to little worms. ]:p

[123mmm101]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING QUOTATION!

[hestheman929]

When the showed the advert for this at the end of last episode I was so excited. Ah this is just awesome.

[OscarLp33t]

Rob Brydon's sock chat is me favorite!

[ninacat88]

Thank you! I missed this last night and iPlayer is too slow for my connection!

[pencil20000]

56:50 Anybody else catch Rich Hall's joke, there?

[Menegoth]

@pencil20000 Can't say I did

[pencil20000]

@Menegoth It's a reference to the bit about Earth having two moons.

[dnizabhad]

is Alan wearing a ''Good morning, Vietnam'' t-shirt? :D

[JRM2510JRM]

quite1nteresting...you deserve a knighthood for your services to QI and the YouTube community! Thank you!

[h2ons]

Man, I can't thank you enough for uploading this, I had no idea it existed! I absolutely love QI, best tv show ever made, without question.

Thank you so much for uploading this!

[vadetatimus]

lol what is david wearing?

[xopenheartx]

@vadetatimus He said on his twitter that it was an outfit he had to wear for a specific episode and that it was filmed outside the studio... apparently, heh.

[orconross]

@vadetatimus looks like a moris dancing outfit

[chrissi1138]

I want a two hour Qi show!!!! Thank you so much for uploading this. You saved a lot of boring evenings.

[grauekatze]

YEA! :)

[sjheiss]

What is Johnny saying at 11:21 that's so funny? I can't understand him.

[h2ons]

@sjheiss I can't understand it either haha!

[delacote60]

@sjheiss Don't worry, you're not alone. One of the great sources of joy/frustration in the UK is the wide range of accents in such a small country, often difficult even for a native to comprehend. I had to listen to this several times and I come from Liverpool, just a few miles west of Johnny's home town of St Helens: two totally different accents within the same county of Merseyside. I think he said "Do they make scissors for both?".

[sjheiss]

@delacote60 Thanks, that makes sense.

[jemgrrargh]

@sjheiss @h2ons i think it's "do they make scissors for both?" as in, like they do for left-and-right-handed people.

[frantzmr]

David Mitchell is the one of the best panelists!

[Gothdetectives4ever]

This was a lovely hour, thank you so much for upoading it!

Also, David's Outfit!

[kafcin]

15:18 "Even Stephen the national treasure.." Even Stephen really rhymes well :)

[vidwatcher2468]

is it weird that i can name off all the episodes in this show?

[nospacesallowed]

When was the guy from cern on?

[Se1ander]

Longest serving elf!?!?!

[CaptainOvious123]

35:11 Andy Murray hahaha

[iMandie]

QI was the show that got me into British television. I can't even watch most American television anymore, its so boring, unfunny, and idiotic compared.

[leonevoli]

I adore Alan Davies

[hahaha430]

does anybody know the episode no. of the custard socks, gravy jumper anecdote

[alixnaiq]

@hahaha430 It's from the 'Corby' episode of Series C. I'm a little embarrassed that I guessed this right before checking online; clearly I've rewatched these episodes far too many times.

[hahaha430]

@alixnaiq thanks and don't be embarassed there is no shame in repeatedly watching such a great show

[WingedDrant]

omg michael palin would have been interesting... but I wouldn't give up fry

[lankyGigantic]

I must say, Daniel Radcliffe was so awkward during that.

[gaymerguy]

I love this show, and as an American, I really wish we could have this show on our TV, unamericanized. It's hilarious, you learn stuff, and are entertained by an amazing cast of characters!

[hamburgerhelperflick]

OMG! I asked for this! Had no idea it was posted already! Thank you thank you thank you! You're brilliant!

[shell2727]

I can't thank you enough for posting this and the first episode of the new series. I'm often out the Uk for months at a time in countries whose language I can't speak, and watching your channel is one of the few things which keeps me sane. As they said, watching QI feels like being with family, and you are the one who lets me do it. You are such a star X

[bluegreen1138]

I'd watch QI "Shite we didn't have time to show you the first time around" show with stuff the hit the cutting room floor because of the time constraints.

[kabdoun]

J!!! They mentioned J.... Already excited and the I series has only just started :D

[Vault101Reject]

"just out of interest for you.."

Brydon needs to learn the meaning of the word "interest"

And "comedy", actually.

[Canadianabanana]

@Vault101Reject Really? Rob Brydon is one of my favourite guests!

[Mayna00]

@Vault101Reject So true. He's good only when he isn't trying to hog all the attention. And he speaks REALLY slowly, which is just annoying.

[BoomDowg]

What on earth was David Mitchell wearing?? O.o

[iMandie]

@BoomDowg Its for an episode yet to air.

[BoomDowg]

@iMandie Can't wait to see what that is all about! ;)

[chrstphrw]

@BoomDowg If you look at the list of episodes on Wikipedia, all should become clear.

[crazybear09]

What is David wearing?

[anonimystro12345]

"Well we've got no interruptions from stupid motoring shows tonight here on BBC2..."

[JimmySteller]

QI is one of the best shows on tv right now.

[TheSuzberry]

I'm so glad to see the Elves. I thought there would be dozens of them. Remarkable that so few people can know so much.

[marrydruli]

loved it!!

[spoon00002]

They Mentioned the "J" series, Brilliant!

[ShtikMahn]

@spoon00002 Do you really think QI will ever end?

[spoon00002]

@ShtikMahn By god I hope not.

[kamatej]

beyond fantastic

[spencerant88]

54:47. Work THAT one out! I can't!

[sillyjobug]

@spencerant88 Nobody can, we don't know what the variables stand for. Stupid maths. Not that that's liable to be a real algorithm with any meaning whatsoever, because if they calculate the scores like that they are truly bonkers, rather than just delightfully eccentric as they seem.

[Bangell99]

John Lloyd is a bit pretentious... But I'll forgive him because QI is great.

[Neweraoutsourcing]

QI is truly a wonderful show and I wish more countries around the world had a version of it.

[loveandkaos]

39:18 is Brian Blessed. Oh...my...word.

[Nathanchooper]

when i started watching this there was 80 likes, that number has ticked over to 98.... NO, 99 lol

[hahaha430]

@Nathanchooper well i just made it 100. I watched it yesterday but can't help watching it again

[dakgootje]

This was brilliant!

And absolutely lovely seeing all the Elves for the first time :)

[Mayna00]

I love how David gets a bit of a special mention!

I love QI!

[chrstphrw]

David's just said on his Twitter that the costume was something he was wearing for an upcoming episode of the show. Looking at the list of episodes on Wikipedia, I think I can guess which one.

[AmusingYeti]

After watching the XL last night I was pleased to find a little marathon afterwards :)
