he wasn't funny

@@linebrunelle1004 Sean Lock wasn't funny ? Personally I found him to be extremely comical and he was also a competent actor, but I realise that not everybody has the same sense of humour. Sean Lock's life was sadly taken early (by cancer) at the relatively young age of 58 years old. R.I.P. Mr Lock.

I first learned about it from QI... that was a confusing episode the first time I saw it :)

Haha! Yes! Bless her...

😂😂😂😂

Okay that is a really good one and doesn’t seem to have garnered the support it deserves!

I'll never forget working in a bookstore back in 1997, and a woman DEMANDING to know why "The DaVinci Code" was in the Fiction section, and NOT in Religion. 😂

I think contempt is the word you're looking for.

@@richardcaves3601 I think you're right!

​@@AnnieAtRecessIts the same section right?😂

His description of it as “complete loose stool water, arse gravy of the worst kind” is one of the most poetic, devastating slams I’ve ever heard 😊

There are also native Australian mammals which aren't marsupials, notably the monotremes which are egg laying mammals. Unlike marsupials, which are found elsewhere in the world monotremes are only found in Australia.

Very true. They give milk.

[knob gag]

Bravo!!! LOVE it. Thank you! You made my day 😊

Nice one.

It happens quite often. Usually delivered with some smugness.

This one feels egregious, maybe it's being an Australian but marsupials being mammals is such an obvious one

Jimmy is also wrong as there are native bat species all over Australasia. Even in NZ where there are no other native mammals.

They are mammals but split from placental mammals around 160 million years ago...

My guess is that it was a special game rule made for that episode.

And as we know, there are no possums in Canada, dead or alive that I’m aware of.

He looks like enbodyment of Moe from Simpsons😂😂😂

Quando omni flunkus, moritati.

We do have them in Canada. 🙂@@TangoDelta8111

Lots of possums in Ontario.

I'm also surprised no-one else on the panel or the elves picked up on this! Marsupials are definitely mammals. Poor Jimmy.

180mph... yeah

yep, average rocket takes about 3-5 minutes.

The American say it's 50 miles, the Europeans changed it to 100 km.

‘Mother’ sounds similar as well. There’s a Chinese rhyme using all the variations on Mao. Must be hard to converse in a thunderstorm. “You want to put your mother where?”

@f.kieranfinney457 Mother is "ma" (妈), first (high) tone.

Yes

Loved when Sean called him "swotty"! If you look at Sean's face, he's trying to disguise his derision. I don't like Rory on this show. His smugness bloody irritates me.

He comes across in this as a show off. As though he is trying to show 'sir' how clever he is.

It's spelled Sten gun, with a capital S. She would have had one when she was serving in WWII. Now she would have a Micro Uzi, or something similar.

@@Clavers1369 I was referring to the American stun gun the gives an electric charge that incapacitates it's victim

@@michiganjfrog366 I know. Well done. The Sten gun also incapacitates its victim, but in a more permanent and messy fashion. Provided that the rounds don't jam in the magazine, as they did in the assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich.

At 39:53 The Piccadilly statue is actually Anteros, not Eros or The Angel Of Christian Charity. That's now 2 QI errors in 1 video.

Haha seriously I thought the same thing. I think he just had a brain-fart. But they definitely wouldn’t be drinking Foster’s Lol. They’re Australian….. Aussies think Foster’s is absolute piss from what I’ve heard 😂😂

​@@LPKelly380 Fosters IS piss really. I can't believe people fucking drink it. But then, any beer less than 7% tastes like water. Karpackie on the other hand... Mmmm... Er, anyway...

​@@nickthelick Haha, I guess we Dutchies feel the same about Heineken 😂. No idea why that's so popular across the border...

@@fredelmo I know exactly what you mean. 😁 It's because almost all "medium-'strength" beers/lagers (ie cans of Stella, Fosters, Heineken, Carlsberg etc. at ≤5%), they ALL just taste like bland, fizzy water! And a lot of them are brewed under the Interbrew company (conglomerate?🤔), and so yeah, all that shit is the same dull, watery stuff. Just very diluted alcohol. So *_I_* like a strong, "super-strength" beer, like; Karpackie 9%, if there's none of that then I'll have a Kestrel Super 9%. After those it's Carlsberg Special Brew 7.5% and/or Tennent's Super 9%. Karpackie is Polish and pretty much *_THE_* cheapest "Super-Strength" canned beer. Pretty much all these beers have a stigma to them! 🤔😁🤷🏻‍♂️ But the thing is, is that it actually *_DOES_* taste nice indeed! Goes down easy and is super easy to drink, hence it could be quite dangerous! LoL! Carlsberg Special Brew used to hold the crown for taste and value. Right up until Carlsberg changed the recipe to bring the strength (and alcohol tax!) down from 9% to 7.5%! So it tastes a pale second to how it used to. Er... Sorry, just waffling on as usual, and half-drunk coincidentally as usual! 🤔 🚬✌🏻😁👌🏻🍺 🚬🤘🏻🤪🍻🫠👍🏻 Almost everything on the shelves is just weak-ass piss-water, so I only ever drink cans that are over the aforementioned 7.5%! 😁👍🏻 All because the stronger beers have *_some_* actual flavour too them! Karpackie being the actual nicest of the lot IMHO! 😄🤷🏻‍♂️ 🍺😘👌🏻

@@nickthelick Well, if you like stronger beers with áctual taste, I can recommend Dutch Bargain beer! I used to work for the owners and their brewer is a genuine genius. Also really really nice. I've been in Poland a couple of times btw and they sure have excellent beer as well! Have a great day!

Neither of them are right, marsupials are in fact mammals but there are native mammals which aren't marsupials in Australia.

And wood shavings 😉

Agreed, Sandi - him no good!

Me, neither! And I don't get it. I've Prime and Britbox. They aren't on there either. Just eps from M, I think... Not that I don't enjoy the compilations of the earlier ones on YT. But it's frustrating not to be able to watch them in their entirety.

Indeed.

Rory, wont ever be invited back because of his behaviour on the shows in this series and his off screen issues

Baking powder is not the same as bicarbonate. 🇬🇧

Well if it makes you feel any better, he was sentenced to 10 weeks in jail in 2017 for harassing an ex-lover lmao.

Isn’t he also the one panelist Fry didn’t like because he insisted on seeing the answers before the show taping?

@@5v4al I don't know about that but I could understand if Stephen maybe didn't like him, after all he gives all his answers like they're inflating his ego, instead of just trying to be interesting, which is the whole point of the show.

@@5v4al I think it's John Sessions who wanted the answers in advance (Dara O Briain hinted as much recently at the .Oxford Union) In this clip, right out of the blue, Fry asks McGrath the atomic number of selenium and McGrath knows; also whether the stem of recalcitrant was calx (stone) or calx (heel) isn't one of the set questions; McGrath seems just to know his stuff.

@@5v4al I heard that he cheated and got the answers from someone back stage

It's all answers to the questions connected with the letter C.

@@slytheringingerwitch oh, I see. Thanks

It's 100km (aka 62 miles), although the Americans claim it's only 50 miles (aka 80km). That's the Karmen line, which is basically "how high up does an airplane stop being an airplane and become a spaceship?" It's an arbitrary line, and Clarkson's 600 miles is probably better as it takes you above Low Earth Orbit where there's still plenty of air causing drag on satellites. Geostationary, aka Clarke orbit at 36,000km (22,500 miles) might well be a better start for "outer space"

Your mixing up people. Not sure who it is but def not Emma Thompson…

@@jwvandegronden seems like it, was mixing up the episode where Emma talks about Stephen saving her script. This is Helen Atkinson-Wood apparently!

Well that's not true. The first Christians were during the reign of Tiberius

@@lordflashheart3706 not possible, Vespasian didn't become emperor until 70 CE, after which he got Josephus to write the bible, which means that jesus wasn't dreamed up until well after Tiberius's reign.

AD 70. Such a long time ago.

@@user-fl8yv7rz6f You're confusing the founding of the catholic church with the birth of the Christian religion. There must have been Christians between the time Christ lived and the formation of the church, otherwise there would have been no formation of the church at all.

Australasia is a subregion of Oceania, comprising Australia, New Zealand and some neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Thank you !@@Malpheron

@@Malpheron Nice Wikipedia quote! ;-)

@@Brinta3 he he. I looked too. It’s awesome Keep laughing 🫵🤦‍♂️

Australasia is quick convenient way of describing three continents: Australia, Zealandia, and part of the Pacific plate.

Surely not as bad as all that? Still I’m more upset that a larger percentage of Brits than of Americans disbelieve in the Moon landing.
