QI - Grim Reaper

[Kabitu1]

So... that means he pulled the prank two times, killed two people... and decided to have a third go?

[Suprahampton]

I want to retire there... shame it's closed

[genuinelyaperson]

I friend of mine tried this on Halloween, he acquired a scythe and a black robe, made his way to the retirement home, only to find the area guarded by police to stop being doing exactly that.

Human society at its best XD

Jimmy carr is thinking "Why didn't I think of that"

Harry Meadows is incidentally, one of the worst/funniest names I have ever heard.

[MyNameIsBucket]

@TheArtistOfKuroo Clearly you've never heard of Dick van Dyke.

[penguinswithswords]

[Ueltomas]

I want to read that book

[microscopic]

ah Doon, i love her so much

[dexdex1560]

Harry Meadows: best prankster ever!

[richieblackhearted]

If there is an anthropormorphic personificaton of Death, I really hope he is something like the Death of the Discowrld. We could go for a curry before I went into the great beyond.

[richieblackhearted]

@richieblackhearted Gahhh!! Discworld, not Discowrld. But the platform wearing, glitter gladded Death would be quite a nice exchange.

[KingLofiOne]

@richieblackhearted "So this is the part where my life flashes before my life, eh?" "NO.YOU JUST HAD THAT. IT IS CALLED *LIFE* "

:-D

[FISHFRIEND27]

@richieblackhearted That would be awesome

[FISHFRIEND27]

@richieblackhearted That would be awesome I love Terry Pratchett

[SatoTM3]

[mrlukese]

Everyone's comment has loads of thubs ups but mine :(

[giygasattack]

Dressing up as Death and scaring the shit out of old people is cruel as hell but it's hilarious. I did it a few halloweens ago. Bought a real scythe as part of it (it's amazing what you can buy online if you look hard enough). Being only 2 inches shorter than the 7ft the Grim Reaper is sometimes portrayed as being helps a lot.

[RemusChocolade]

@giygasattack You might accuse me of being a hillbilly, but I know my father had at least one scythe. Probably have it somewhere in the barn still. And I know for a fact my grandfather owns one. Rather rusty-looking, not sure if that's good or not when playing death...

[giygasattack]

@RemusChocolade If I have to accuse you of being a hillbilly because one or two of your family members owns a scythe then I have to call myself an even bigger hillbilly since I own one myself. Don't think it makes a difference whether your scythe is rusty or not but it probably looks cooler as part of a Grim Reaper costume if it is.

[RemusChocolade]

@giygasattack My point was kinda that a scythe has other purposes than dressing up as death, although it does double nicely. I've never quite been known to make much sense, though.

[Lammington2]

I now have rather pleasant plans for my dotage!

[TylerDurden524]

This one of the few things we have to be proud of in Great Yarmouth

[gloomyoutlook]

"are you sure he isn't Death, and they just caught him?" hahaha, what a thought

[imissrose123]

LOL I love Jimmy's little "He did WHAT?" in the background at 0:16

[LittleBoiFen]

Does anyone have a scythe I can borrow?

[Chaserpeach]

@LittleBoiFen I know right, I want to go do it now :P

[dutchess2121]

I've actually done that, I'm ashamed to admit.

[Mandalorian31]

Must be funny as hell.

[Bobstew68]

At least when you're 87 and kind of look more.. believable.

[Connorrules1]

@dutchess2121 ashamed? why XD unless you got someone killed O.0

[MrsEdwardNigma]

@dutchess2121 Did anyone die?

[CROMERCRABO1]

i am calling the cops
