I was laughing my guts out as well because Alan is such a calm and easy going , funny guy so that breakdown that yelling he did was genuine and funny because it was out of the ordinary for him , he always wanted to say that and he finally let it out .

While QI is possibly the greatest show on TV, it is these moments with Alan or David Mitchell going off on one of his rants that has me doubled over with laughter. Sometimes my abs are just so sore after watching some episodes.
This reminds me of a thing on the Stargate Atlantis TV show, where the bad guys are these aliens called "the Wraith" and they are "colony" creatures, like bees or ants, having a "Queen Wraith" and "worker Wraith" and "soldier Wraith" and so forth. And what I liked - a nice touch of detail - was that the alarm sound on the Wraith ships sounded like the Wraith Queen screaming. Kind of like the idea of having a baby's cry as an alarm sound, as it's a sound that we're evolved to be unable to ignore. But, for the Wraith, it's the sound of their Queen in pain that triggers the whole colony into action. I liked the attention to detail and lore in that. Instead of just some lame "red alert" sound, the writers did actually put something thought into it - and I guess it's actually somewhere between the "woman's voice" and "a baby crying" ideas, but for aliens where the woman is their colony's "Queen" (and a rare artefact to be protected at all costs) and all would lay down their lives for her.
Oh man I am a HUGE Stargate fan and I never realised this detail!!! Goddamn you know a show is amazing when you’re still discovering genius details a decade later. Thank you so much for this!!! ❤❤
It's so funny when Alan goes off the rails. It reminds me of my dad, growing up, when he was made at the phone company and he would yell and say what we thought was some funny stuff and us kids would be laughing out loud, we couldn't help it.
@@annieinwonderland Most things are to me, I'm in retail and I've done dozens of experiments with signs, ones with large or medium letters, or with many words or few. I've discovered that 8% of the people in my area will move three signs aside that say *BATHROOM OUT OF ORDER* only to get to the bathroom, open it up and say *WHERE IN THE FυCK IS THE TOILET??* when they see there's no toilet or sink. I've only had fewer than a dozen interactions in probably 20 posts of that image, so recognition of Alan Davies seems to be fairly rare among biologists
Just earlier today watched Stephen-era episode where Alan ranted about the same thing but not with the same passion but more like frustration. Seems that technology is getting even more annoing.
Was it annoying when the little red line popped up when you spelled it "annoing"? I think spellcheck tech is pretty obnoxious at this point and very annoying.
@@JackDManheim I don't have spellcheck and English is'nt my first language, also there is great chance that I was drunk while typing that. And now that you noticed, I'm really annoyed about my mistake :D (Was that correct?)
I do recognize Alan's experience. The ADAC system in my car used to beep for everything as well. I drive close to the left line on the road (right driving country) on purpose to have maximum distance to the other lane. ADAC finds that a reason to beep. Driving on a smaller plus-lane? Beeping. Driving into a parking garage? Emergency break because it thinks I will drive right through the beam. It doesnt realize the hood fits underneath and I need to go there to be able to get the ticket. Needless to say, I have disabled almost all ADAC systems, so that I can focus on driving instead of continuously playing the game "guess what I am beeping for this time".
My sister's name is "Kate" and we knew when our mum was *REALLY* pissed off when she was so angry she couldn't work out who to shout for first and accidentally screamed for "Ken"
My name was always "Rebecca Sarah Lynn!!!" Those are my sisters. She always got to my actual name last. Although if she were really angry it was, "OH! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!" (You must imagine that with a boiled-eyeball look and a crisply shaken finger in my direction....)
Alan always strikes me as the gentlest, sweetest person in the world. It's fun to see him lose his goddamn mind here lol, even if it's just part of the show.
I can vouch for the full naming :- My older step daughter became suddenly and aggressively defiant, throwing the two shopping bags of bread on the floor. “FIRST-NAME MIDDLE-NAME LAST-NAME!” All anger, defiance and resistance disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the bags were picked up without request!
I work in a fire alarm factory and I am so used to hearing them being tested every day before we send them out I have concerns about whether they would even register my notice if I heard them go off 'in the wild'.
I always assume the bleeping noises are censored swearwords. This makes the drive very believable, with my car getting very stressed about how near it comes to losing bumpers and wing mirrors the whole time I drive. And similar to the neutral woman's voice for fire alarms problem: The MG Maestro had a very early voice synthesizer for all messages ("handbrake on", "please fasten seat belt", etc). Quentin Wilson recalled writing one off completely, to be casually informed about "... low engine pressure".
Bleeping reverse, bleeping key in the ignition, bleeping key not in the ignition but you left the lights on, door open door open door open, bleeping seatbelt belt not on and if you put something heavy on the passenger seat, bleeping seatbelt light on. But no bleeping for not shutting the door fully and the interior light is on. But a bleeping for Flat Battery the next day. Thankfully these weren't in one particular vehicle.
They arrived at using a female voice for cockpit warning alarms because of similar research with military pilots. The voice actor famously used became known as Bitching Betty and was later also performed by a Boeing employee. Other nations have their own versions.
It’s also dependent on language demarcation as well. Female voices were more effective for English and french speaking areas while male voices were better for German and Arabic. I don’t know if it was determined to be language or cultural as the contributing factor.
I CAN SEE THE THING BEHIND I CAN SEE THE THING IN FRONT I KNOW ITS IN REVERSE I PUT IT THERE MYSELF The rhythm at which Alan says it makes it sound like the most aggressive poem reading of all time
my parents recently bought a Hyundai Santa Fe, with all the bells and whistles... including proximity alerts very wise, considering my dad is the reason they converted the garage from a 2 car one with a beam between 2 doors, to a 1 car one with a super-wide door, no beam; same garage, just no more beam my mom doesn't much care for the beeping tho
Also, what's the point of waking up a baby if there's a fire? If they can't walk or get out of their crib, they can't escape the fire on their own anyway. Maybe to alert the firefighters, but that would depend on the baby crying/making noise so they would hear it, which may not be the case if the fire is in another part of the house and no fire/smoke has reached the baby's room
There was a similar idea mooted for fighter pilots, whereby V V V important warnings would come across as a child's voice rather than a 'beep' or flashing light. "Daddy your engine is on fire" this cuts through all else and even a task saturated pilot knows what is the 'most important' things to deal with.
It took me until my 3rd child to realise the best way to get children asleep is to chat with your husband in their bedroom instead of locking them away and tiptoeing around the house , because they feel relaxed and know your not going anywhere.
I saw "Alan" + "meltdown" and immediately thought it's either "the blue whale" or "how many, more, or less, moons does the Earth have" had finally flipped our lad.
Just a reminder that Alan once crashed into his local co-op supermarket whilst in a driving lesson, so proably a bit of PTSD mixed in there with that rant
Alan's right, cars have way too many safety features these days. It may help some but it often gives people a false sense of security, so they drive more recklessly. If the car gives you an alarm every time you get near something or drift in your lane, you're less likely to be fully engaged as a driver
Apparently the beeping noise is a bit non-directional and can be difficult to quickly locate where it's coming from, which could potentially cause an accident. It's easier to detect the direction of the "shhh shhh shhh" white noise sound. There's a similar issue with the stereotypical police/emergency vehicle siren. Some departments are adding in a blast of white noise so drivers and bystanders can tell where it's coming from easier.
@@Regolith86 I remember an episode of Tomorrow's World from the late 90s which said we'd soon have white noise as part of emergency vehicle sirens. Have still never heard it in real life
I pity the Brits. The beeps are not mandatory in Russia where I live. The only vehicle I hear beeping loudly when it's reversing is the garbage lorry that comes once a day, but it alone is enough to drive me a bit mad.
I’m with Alan on this one. I can’t stand noise from modern technology and it’s my job. In fact I can’t stand lots of noises at once or background noise. It’s infuriating lol.
I KNOW IT IS IN REVERSE, I PUT IT THERE MYSELF!

Jimmy hasn't looked that scared since his last phone call from the tax inspector!
If is told my four year old niece “wake up the house is on fire” she’d just ask “why?”
It's a phase.
Answer with a question like "what do you think about that?"
Thank you David Mitchell for standing in for Alan Davies this episode.
In Canada it would say: "I'm sorry to tell you this but the house is on fire. You really should leave. Please."😆
In New Zealand it would be "The house is on fire, it'd be a cool thing to get out of bed and bugger off now bro."
In Texas (where I grew up): “Y’all best be fixin’ to get up. Yer house is on far like the Dickens.”
Tennessee: "Well, you gonna get up or just lie there and let the house burn down around you?"
In Japan: "Fire" We all leave calmly. In single file. No fuss.
It's so funny when Alan goes off the rails. It reminds me of my dad, growing up, when he was made at the phone company and he would yell and say what we thought was some funny stuff and us kids would be laughing out loud, we couldn't help it.
