"The Dalai Farmer" Sean Lock is an absolute treasure.

The thing I love about Bill Bailey is that he’s very much a collaborator. He joins in and engaged the other guests rather than just taking over and trying to be the funniest

Bill's rendition of "put the wine away and shut the fuck up" had me in hysterics

Nothing better than Fry helplessly trying to control Bailey and Davis

You know Bill is one of the top guests when even a ten minute best bits doesn't start to cover his best moments.

I cannot get enough of french Bill Bailey saying "Monsieur Clicky"

When Stephen asked about the largest thing a blue whale can swallow: "Is it a conceptual question? A blue whale's a very vain animal. Perhaps the largest thing it can swallow is its pride." I believe it was during the Dalai Farmer episode lol

The Dalai Farmer will be one of the greatest one liners in comedic history. Absolute genius 😂😂😂

Bill Bailey and Alan Davies: the greatest double act in recent comedy history. I haven't laughed so hard in ages

Who was it that once described Bill Bailey as "the bald man with the long hair"?

What’s so lovely about Bill’s best moments is how often they include the whole panel riffing off each other. There’s a generosity and communal spirit that is wonderful to watch. Susan Calman is similar.

Bill bailey and Alan Davies doing the French poet/lobster bit is some of the funniest shit I have ever seen 😅

My favourite bit involving Bill Bailey wasn't in this video :( It's thanks to him that I'll always remember what they did say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is!

Dalai Farmer really got me 😂😂

'Tis the wisdom of the Rural Buddha!

"The French don't really have a word for custard, they don't believe it exists." "What happens if you say 'I want custard on it'? 'I'm afraid, sir, it does not exist'."

Bill nibbling the holly on David Tennant's jacket always gets me.

Bill and Alan are such an incredible combo. They feed off each other so well.

I love how it seems to me that Bill is as shocked and amused at his own jokes as anyone else.

"You've been whining for two hours, now sit down!" I love how Sandi just always seems like she's a school teacher just barely holding the class together

I don't know if Bill Bailey will ever see this, but I actually found "The Little Book of Calm" recently at a local bookstore (in St. Louis, MO) and nobody understood why I was giggling. I loved that show. 😊

Funniest Bill-moment is during the International-episode where they are discussing pilot meals and Stephen is going "Now why do I say lunches?", to which Bill replies... "Because there's MORE THAN ONE?!"

The lobster bit is one of the best bits of improv I’ve ever seen

Also underrated: the Phill-Bill interaction. The way they riff off of each other, it's like Never Mind the Buzzcocks never ended.

10:09 shows the true comic genius of Bill Bailey - nanoseconds after saying it's like being at school he realises the absurdity of what he said and points it out before anyone has even noticed. Cue side-splitting hilarity!

Ah the late great Sean Lock RIP

EASILY the best guest on this show, i'm sure people will reply with their favs but Bill is in his entire own universe. my proof: how much Stephen laughs

I never thought I'd see the day when Bill Bailey force fed Gérard de Nerval's lobster with jerusalem artichokes.

Stephen Fry is like the teacher who has lost control of the class 😂😂

"add a dab of lavender to milk, leave town with an orange and pretend you're laughing at it" - the rural buddha

bill and phil 'limbering up' to go again kills me every time.

On a more serious note: these clips show more than comedic genius of the five persons stage front. To wit: can you just simply imagine the trust each must have in the other to come forth with this level of improv without damaging the relationships involved? These folks KNOW each other, and it is a marvel to witness.

I love Bill and Alan's craziness....😂😂

"you should always aproach the jaguar to the front" "oh no, I mean never" As a Brazilian, I really belive in that history. seems like a thing we would do. probably on purpose. just for the laught.

Bill Bailey makes every QI episode he is in hilarious... Mr. Klikkee kills me every time I see it.

Bill and Alan comicly feeding off each other is genius.

Awww, missing is Bill's flawless Dutch accent when he was stopped with a guitar on Schiphol airport.

bill bailey is so talented. comedian, multi-instrumentalist - a real talent

"You be the March Hare, I'll be the Aztecs."

Bill Bailey is on my top five list of people I want to see on taskmaster. The other four are Rachel riley, Stephen fry, Susie dent, and Sandi toksvig. Imagine all five in the same lineup!

Bill Bailey and Alan Davis separately are really funny, together are absolutely sheer brilliance!

0:30 Imagine: Claudia Winkleman is a panellist with Bill Bailey on QI. I bet she never imagined that she would be listening to a future winner on “Strictly Come Dancing”

Bill Bailey: One of the few comedians where ALL of his specials, over a span of 25+ years, are uniformly great to watch and consistently funny! One of the best!

What I wouldn't do for an uncle like Bill.

6:20 “An excellent buzzer” - chef excellence

"Vite, vite.. Monsieur!" 🤣

Bill always seems to have a pipe when he's on QI 😂

A panel for qi with Bill, Alan and Robin Williams would have been incredible

I'd watch a program that is just Allan and Bill being characters throughout history while Stephen describes them.

"Bill, shut the fuck up." Best quote ever😂

Some of my favourite moments on QI are when it devolves into near anarchy. It reminds me of a classroom if each student was a class clown.

Love the surreal world of Bill Bailey (Hon. Dr). Great comedian, songwriter and performer. I fall to bits when he grabs the tobacco pipe he used in the show when mocking Stephen over class. Highly clever guy who is a ecologist and conservationist. He like Alan has supported animal rights and is a lepidopterist.

I've seen Bill every opportunity there are tickets in London. Exceptional night out every time. RIP Sean. We love you so much.

“Wisdom and cheap ciderrr” - best quote ever😂😂

Mastodon t-shirt - massive props

'it's like being at school!' "Put your wine away..."

The greatest compilation video since David Mitchell's angry logic.

7:14 He should've ended that story with "My english: 'never' and 'always' - i never get them mixed up."

10:33 is my favourite part of the video - absolutely hysterical!

I needed cheering up. Bill Bailey is brilliant.

I wish that he would do more Qi episodes. Also it’s great when Alan and Bill sit together.

Bill bailey and Alan Davies are like 2 naughty school boys.

Best bits of Bill Bailey? That's easy: all of them!

Bill and Phil are by far the best guests on QI.

Bill Bailey and Alan Davis is the best duo on television.

So now I walk around with pictures in my head of “Bill Bailey: Hummus Smuggler” 🤣🤣🤣

It's these clips, the clips that do not focus on Sean Lock and then, there he is... Sean, doing his thing.... We will miss you so much, Sean, rest in peace

❤️ bill...wow amazingly diverse in so many areas...comedian, story telling, phenomenal musician and conductor...watching "midsummer murders" recently and there he was...on my list of people I'd love to spend a day with...I am not aware of anyone else who plays that many musical instruments. ☆ may have to cross the pond to see him in person...

"Pull yourselves together at once" might be my favourite Fry quote. The deadpan, twenty-years-strong professor delivery just makes it.

The best bunch of people in one place together. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bill always wears the best t-shirts.

2:40 *Inhales* DAVID TENNANT

Bloody hell. My head hurts from laughing. That was easily the funniest one yet! Sandi was on fire, 'Bill, you've been whining for 2 hours'!

My all time favourite is the yacht segment , all of the panel make it memorable ,just hilarious 😂

You have to imagine the wrap parties for these shows at end of the season

No one makes me laugh like Bill. Even though this word is overused, he really is a genius.

Loved Bill's Brazilian jaguar "always/never" story!

Not only is Bill Bailey hillarious but he listens to good music. Love his Mastodon The Hunter t-shirt!

How can anyone 'thumbs down' this? This is pure gold! Sandy and Bill ...........I was weeping!

David Mitchell brought me to QI a long time ago and introduced me to Bill Bailey, I became an INSTANT FAN. and binged everything Youtey had to offer. the Bill Bailey Show was awesome, all his appearances on the various panel shows, his time on the Buzzcocks, now you see him on Cats does Countdown.Quality Entertainment EveryTime

All the best episodes have Bill Bailey in them.

5:53 F'ing hell it's Chef Excellence! I adore Bill's silly, surreal sense of humour. He's just brilliant.

Tears to my eyes every time, love them all.

I've never belly-laughed this much at QI before!😂😂

Bloody legend. We need more of him

Congrats to 2020 Strictly Come Dancing winner Bill Bailey!!!

Bill Bailey and Phill Jupitus are my favorite guests.

Such a fantastic show! Love from Canada!

"A boy came before I was ready" Wasn't it Stephen who said "They can put a man on the moon, but they can't get one on Sandi!" ?

‘The Dalai Farmer’ will never be bettered in my opinion!! 😂😂

I couldn't breathe through that whole lobster bit, I was laughing so hard

Best compilation so far. Thank you!

It's fascinating. QI was my entry to british panel shows. Sean Lock seemed pretty nice. And then I saw 8 out of 10 cats and cats does countdown... :-)

I enjoyed this even more than I thought I would.

I think Sandi definitely gets the last laugh though with "You've been whining for two hours!"

Best one so far! Love it!

Bill used Dalai farmer in dandelion mind! Nice to know where he got it from!

Saw him live one time, really great and crazy talented with instruments.

The long lost Osmond brother is one of my favourite TV moments ever

Feels like Alan's absolutely dearest moments was anytime Bill was also on the panel.
