      There's more comic greats in the history Of British humour than ALL of English speaking world put together. Ricky Gervais, Billy Connelly, Dave Allan, Sean Lock, Michael McIntyre, Monty Python, Marty Feldman the Goodies, the list goes on and on. Who is there in America well, the spectacularly funny Joan Rivers, Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chappelle that's about it.
      Not many Americans make me laugh. Sense of humour too British I guess. Even though I live in Australia now , apart from Barry Humphries I can't think of any one who makes me laugh. Except the real outback, laconic humour of the real Aussies. The professionals are all unfunny duds.

    How to explain to 6 year old:
    You know how the sun gives off energy that makes things hot? Big things (like the sun) also give of energy that makes things heavy! And the more bigger and solid they are the heavier they make things. And the cool thing is, the heavy things pull the lighter things towards them....
    Likewise, Big Suzie down the road will eventually pull all the blokes on the street.

    Why people don't understand this is comedy and he's joking. He isn't ignorant, he mocks ignorance. But even if he doesn't believe in evolution isn't that his right? Everybody applauds a comedian who is irreligious and ridicules religion (and let's face it mainly Christianity) but when someone questions science all those science-zealots transform to Richard Dawkins in an attempt to "protect rationalism and scientific facts". Even Christians like myself believe in evolution but I will defend someone's right to not believe in it. This is what a grown-up does. And finally science is never absolute. Science progresses and dogmatism is the opposite of science.
    Last message to science-bigots: When you repeat the same mistakes as those you criticize, you're aren't the same thing as them you're worse. For you knew of the mistake and yet you decided to repeat it.
    Note: I'm 100% certain all the science-bigots and Dawkins clones will relentlessly attack my comment so don't think you caught me off guard.

      In complete fairness, there are idiots on both sides of the fence who don't take the effort to be self-aware and consistent. It just happens that one side of a debate will have a stronger following at any one point in time.

Even in this bit he transitions right from "I don't need to back up what I'm saying because I'm not that insecure" to "I'm really insecure about stuff I don't know" - clearly banking on the fact that the audience can't remember what he said 30 seconds ago.
      As for the QI episode, I misremembered (indeed, Sean Lock and Brian Cox was never on an episode together). It is a conversation between Rory McGrath and Stephen Fry (who is in my opinion incapable of saying anything not interesting) that is rudely interrupted by Sean's toddler-y fit.
