      The so called good teeth in America mostly found in big cities and in the mouths of the privileged few who have medical insurance that have dental plans attached.

      That same happens with every good especially with male friends, there is no need to be professional comedian for that.
      It can be constant joking and one-upmanship and one proves their character by being able to laugh to themselves when situation arises and someone makes a good joke about you when there is opportunity to do so (which is usually sign of balanced ego if one can make fun of themselves), so kind of like "pack of hyenas" but without the need to actually seriously devour/embarrass each others, and best situations are usually when one manages to counter the joke with another and everyone is having fun. It's certain kind of testing of characters in friendly spirits, if it would be actually nasty, there is other tone in it.
      Very similar as in here, ~99% of jokes are benevolent and the whole idea behind the show is people coming up jokes about subject they talk about, sometimes about each others and Fry is a good sport and can easily also laugh at himself if he happens to be butt of the joke at certain moment. Similarly as he pokes panelist when he gets the change (usually Alan but there have been numerous cases like e.g. with John Lock and Fry calling 'Nurse! Nurse, he’s out of bed again!' when Lock started talking about walking banana plants - in which Lock was right. But Fry was obviously poking fun at Lock).
      Because that character interaction big part of this kind of panel shows. Like in 8 out of 10 cats mainly Jimmy Carr had created the lore that Susie Dent is huge pervert and everyone usually plays along because it creates funny jokes.

      Depends on the comedians and the subject matter, comedy being subjective and much of the best QI moments being on-the-spot improve and all.
      I'm surprised you didn't know that, if I'm honest. Seems really very rudimentary knowledge that only an absolute cretin wouldn't understand.

      There’s no need to compare and pit women against men. Humour is subjective.

      already talked about years ago. Funny women are hard to find, because growing up women don't have to be funny in order to attract men. Many men need humor and comedy to stand out, women don't. Then you think of the funny women you know, many of them are lesbians who weren't trying to attract men in the first place. There are some funny women, but in the ratio of funny men to funny women, women are FAR behind in numbers and there is a reason for that. They don't need to be funny.

      He is. The reason they keep making pederast jokes around him is because it must in some sense be true, and he must justify it to himself by thinking of himself as a romantic and sophisticated erudite like Oscar Wilde or something

      @@thesalanianIt's fairly well-known he goes for younger men. Fry's first husband was 12 years younger than him and then Fry left him to marry another guy who was 25 years younger. But they've always been in their 20s I believe, never younger.

      Oh, is that how it works? So, by that logic, that must mean there's some truth in the running joke that Stephen grew up in a dickensian pantomime in the 19th century.
      You absolute cretin.

      ​@@thesalanian sex with boys is definitely on your mind, that's obvious.
      After all, "More lacquer, little boy?", was the only joke made about children, and if that's sexual innuendo to you, you've definitely got issues.
