The "can't go blinder" is amazing, just goes to show how clever and quick Chris is
just goes to show how patronising you are towards the blind! As if they are otherwise incapable of being quick-witted!
@@amazingusername8925 yo you good there mate? where the hell did you manage to even pull that one from? i'm a pretty daft man myself but even I can't possibly have fathomed that one
@@amazingusername8925 There is nothing patronizing about that comment. By your logic, it's patronizing to ever give a compliment to a blind person. Now, if the comment was "He's really clever for a blind person", then it would be patronizing. I don't know why people on the internet actively look for things to get upset over.
I have a number of "comfort food" tv-shows that i can put on to rewatch and just let my brain unfocus into if i'm having a bad day, and QI is definitely one of them.
Always happy to see more people getting into it, both the Fry run and the new stuff with Sandi. It's just nice chill Television
I love how Neil brings an extra dimension of knowledge, and recognises when he is incorrect, but we all learn something new!
You hit the nail on the head there, watching this show feels like doing something good for yourself, makes you think, teaches you something and makes you laugh, plus there always seems to be a good feeling among the panellists that you kind of absorb. Thanks for doing these, I've seen them not long ago, but fun to watch again with you.
There's something very topically ironic about "yellow blue tibia" meaning "I love you" in Russian...
I dated a girl for 2 months and didn't speak my language and I couldn't speak Her language. We got on very well and only broke up because she had to go back home.
I really do urge everyone that if you are ever in a situation where you spend a day with some someone where you both can not understand each other then do it... You will be amazed on just how much can be said and understood with small hand gestures and facial expressions.
The beef tallow cooked chips was definitely new to me because tradionally chips are cooked in duck fat, or butter in a pinch but never ever in vegetable oil.
I'm sure the delay in delivering the food was transferring it into bags/packaging with no branding. Showing any fast food logo on the BBC would be strictly verboten
“Why not just use a panini machine?”… That would require me to own a panini machine. 😝
Since you're doing the current series, I'd like to recommend S Episode 2 (the XL is now available, I don't know how far in advance you record your QI reactions in particular) - Secrets, Spies, and Sleuths. It's got two of my personal favorites to have never appeared on your channel in any panel shows, as well as the old fan favorite James Acaster.
As a Swedish woman with a Danish ex-husband, I honestly expected more inter-scandinavian rivalry! Though, I also have to correct that the nude alcoholics are the Finns.
Danes think its the Swedes, Swedes think it's the Finns and Finns think it's the Russian.
@@WeirdGuy4928 More or less, yeah.
The thing with Danes thinking Swedes are always drunk is probably because most of the Swedes they meet come from the Danish ferries, and yeah, they go there to get drunk 😅
Culturally, Danes drink a lot more than Swedes.
@@WeirdGuy4928 Correction, Finns know it's the Finns :D
@@Lannisen And in reality we're basically one big culture of drunkards who like to pretend we're very different right up until some non-Scandi starts mouthing off. ;)
Not sure where the idea of nakedness comes from, mind. That's clearly the Germans.
Smôrgåsbord is indeed Swedish. We have the same (more or less) in Denmark but it's called frokostbord. Frokost in Danish means lunch but the exact same sounding word in Swedish frukost means breakfast.
Other classic Danish/Swedish word confusions are: morgenbrød meaning breakfast rolls in Danish and morning wood in Swedish, rolig meaning calm or slow in Danish and meaning funny in Swedish, or grine meaning to laugh in Danish but to cry in Swedish.
Anyway, on to watch the reaction.
As Sandy is Danish they could move onto the 3 extra vowels tagged onto the end of their alphabet after z - æ, ø & å.
As a Sherlockian I need to pull you up on the "didn't help him" comment regard Sherlock and Moriarty at the reichenbach falls. Anyone who knows the stories knows Sherlock didn'd die, and defeated Moriarty, but took the opportunity to Fake his death and took 3 years to dismantle the rest of Moriarty's organisation. So in fact his form of jujitsu did help him.
I can relate to most communication is non verbal. I had a girlfriend for about 8 months. She spoke no English, I spoke no Thai. We had no trouble communicating (after the 1st week. Kind of a steep learning curve) . Just tiny facial movements and simple hand gestures was all that was needed. We didn't have any issues regarding understanding. Quite often we would speak to each other but it was more how we spoke rather that what was spoke. If that makes sense.
Sandi's tattoos are the initials of her kids in Nordic runes.
My grandma always served smörgåsbord as a starter when we visited.
Hey bud , sherlock did use jujitsu to save himself in final problem, only moirarty went over , homes faked his death for 3y , then came back in the empty house . R 😎
Here in denmark, i hope Sandi will come "home" for the æ, ø and å series....
My hypothesis for the future of QI after Series Z is that they will switch to Roman numerals, and it will be hosted by Miles Jupp.
Good to see Sclub7 made it over to Canada 👀🔥🤷♂️😂😂😂
Oh, BTW. Sandi's Tattoo is in a norse (I think) language that is called something I can't remember (it begins with an 'F'). It's the same language as the BlueTooth symbol on your phone, named after a king who ate a lot of blue berries... But Sandi's tattoo represent 3 letters. It's the first initial of all her 3 Son's names.
Technically the language is Norse, and the Futhark (named after its first six letters) is the alphabet it’s written in. There are a couple of different iterations, notably the Elder and younger Futhark, and other versions were used for the Germanic and Anglo-Saxon languages of the time.
Chris McCausland was quite impressive in 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, too.
The speech with which I won the club contest in Toastmasters last night was partly about the myth that 93% of communication is non-verbal.
QI is a fun show. I imagine that the series after Z will be &, which used to be counted as part of the alphabet. Over here in Ireland, we use the Tironian et instead. It used to be quite common throughout Europe, but gradually fell out of favour everywhere else.
thanks, could be , ! and ? to
@@highpath4776 Other punctuation symbols could be used, yes, but the thing about ampersand is that it was actually counted as part of the alphabet.
@@qwertyTRiG Ahh yes, the cojoined letters having some meanings , I think there are others but cannot recall which YT channels did some info on them.
I really enjoyed this episode! Great humour! Thanks! 😁
Bahaha First! Edit: My wonderful hippy mother kept me out of McDonalds for my entire childhood, so I missed out on the tallow fries too. Edit: I think they're making the delivery driver sign a disclaimer/contract for being on TV before they let them in the studio...
Edit: Agree, QI is like chicken soup for the soul. Honestly I'm nowhere tired of yet.
PS, Whether you make it transparent, watermark it to death, or watch the ENTIRE XL version of the episode again, we HAVE to get you to see th entire "They Say Of The Acropolis Where The Parthenon Is" segment.
I'm not sure if the place still does this because it's been a few years since i've past that way, but there used to be a really popular fish and chip shop in Beverley, East Yorkshire which cooked it's chips in beef fat. They were the best chips (or fries as you call them) i've ever tasted. This was in the 1990's.
Carbonating water helps preserve it.
I'll also add to my other comment. Over here in the UK nearly all pre-made sandwiches no matter if you buy it from a service station, a bakery, a large supermarket/grocery store, etc have all got mayonaise in them. Even sandwiches that shouldn't. Bacon and egg sandwich has mayo in it, it's chopped bacon with a scrambled egg and mayo mix. Why? Chicken and stuffing? Mayo.. Cheese and ham? Mayo. I hate mayo. And according to survey done a few back by one of the largest high street bakers, Greggs, just a little over 60% of the people asked didn't want mayo on their sandwiches. Which begs the question of why do they keep putting it in? lol. The smartest thing to do would not put mayo on the sandwich but instead sell them with a little sachet of Mayo.
It's maddening! I dislike mayo. The only ones I can find without it tend to be smoked Salmon with Cream cheese and Simply ham but I'd need to go to a well stocked supermarket to find them.
As you say at the end of the video there will be X, Y, and Z episodes. And that was pure genius on the part of the creator. "We'll do a season on every letter. We have a great premise the BBC has approved"..
So right there if the 'A' series took off with good ratings there was bound to be a 'B' series.
They had just guaranteed a 26 series run... And as we're now on 'S' there is no chance it will not go to 'Z'.
It would be a very QI thing to label series 27 as 'Series 1'.
Botulism is named for the shape of the bacteria, it's sausage-shaped
You know about Jonathan Creek!?!
If he hasn't seen them I'd like to see a reaction or two.
If you're looking for suggestions, I'm a huge fan of S09 e15. It's a Christmas special but don't worry, the theme is Ice and it's not that Christmassy. I won't give anything away, i'll just say its got two of my favourite comedians (regulars on the show) and a very surprising guest who was hilarious.
And the Earl of Sandwich is obviously nonsense. I can say with some certainty that bread has been around for tens of thousands of years, so to say that no one had thought of putting another food stuff between 2 pieces of bread before he did is silly.
Didn't see answer to McDonalds fries. Ya, you are old enough. The odd bit of the story is that McDonalds started using vegetable oil to cook their fries around 1990 in the restaurants; however, the fries were pre-fried with beef tallow at the processing plants. It was around 2001 that McDonalds made this clear and issued apologies. This was problematic since the fries hand been distributed to countries/regions where beef fat is not consumed for dietary and religious reasons. They 'hopefully' stopped using beef fat in 2001/2002.
I was thinking maybe they'll use scandi-alphabet after Z, that would give atleast 3 seasons more. Though episode names would be weird and English speakers would probably not like that.
We would love it !
to be fair, if you watch QI, you are most likely to be the type of people who ENJOY weird episode names
@@KusaneHexaku Greek Alphabet (Well thats been done by the Storms). Egyptian ? Chinese? Mayan ? Numbers (1-13, etc)
Just a season called ÆØÅ would be great. They could throw literally anything in there as the letters don't make sense to English speakers any way.
The tallow fries were served until the 90s so you would have been around.
snd tyhe current friest still are like crack. They still put some beef flavoring in the fryer and the fries are also covered in glucose ( before we see them being put in the fryer).
This way they trigger both the salt and sweet (evventhough you dont taste teh sweet) and make em so addictive
@@StMargorach Not in the EU. They're not allowed to use glucose (they use dextrose instead) and beef flavouring or any other flavouring is strictly prohibited.
If Sandi is still hosting after series z then i xpect that we do the Scandinavian letters; æ, ø and å (pronounced like Homer Simpson do when he dont know what to answer Marge; Aeehh, Oeehh, Aoohh!) After that there is no other option im afraid; it's Windings!
And then the swedish Ä and Ö as well.
Herdy-gerdy!
Neil, please react to "Duck Quacks Don't Echo".
After Series Z, they have to swing back around and do what they do with numbering/lettering systems... Series AA: Aardvark, AA, Aarrggh (Pirate special), Aasvogel, Aalii, ...
After Z in the alphabet comes ÆØÅ :D
Can you equalize the sound? If you turn up the sound to hear the broadcast Neil is incredibly loud. Otherwise love it.
This e before the word has permeated culture ….I work with an Esteven …
Since the vegetable oil craze Chips and Fries are now animic and soggy with no taste to them and nowhere near as healthy as it was proposed they would be. Cooking in animal fats gives them a taste and the fat you consume is easily worked of provided you get off your ass and do something, whereas vegetable fats are slower burning. Apparently the only oil that is good for you is Olive oil.
My hope is that they will follow the alphabet with numbers, and that they call the first one 'Series 1' just to mess with people's heads.
When Steven Fry was thinking about leaving the show, he decided to stick around a little longer than he originally planned to until the end of season 'M', figuring that was half way through the alphabet. As much as I enjoy Alan, I feel like they should have retired Alan at the same time. Have Sandy as "the new Steven' and someone else as 'the new Alan' for another half the alphabet and change it again. Think like Dr Who where everyone expects there to be a new doctor every few years and each era has it's own impact on the style while keeping the show as a whole relatively consistent. That way, after Season Z you have 'A new Sandy' and 'a new person-who-replaced-Alan' and go back to season A.
I dunno. I feel like if they're gonna replace people it might work better to have them overlap. So if Alan decides to leave in a few seasons Sandi stays on a while longer etc. Leaving one familiar face as you get accustomed to the new one. Less of a harsh divide between old and new and more of a continuous process of change.
But I'd also be happy to see Alan stay all the way to Z. It somehow feels right that *he* is the actual anchor of the show.
You're literally talking about firing Alan. What kind of monster would do that to Alan? He should be able to stay as long as he wants because a lot of the show's success is owed to him.
Sandi's supposed to be Danish, yet she can't even pronounce ö? WTF...
It cannot be called Scotch Whisky if its not been aged 3 years and from Scotland....ergo it's a whiskey, the spelling denotes the origin
Sadly, after leaving the EU British regional names, such a scotch whiskey or cheddar are no longer protected in Japan and many other countries where they were previously protected. So Japanese, Canadian or European whiskeys can actually legally be called Scotch now. They're not though, it was just a slip of the tongue from Alan.
@@SaturnusDK No they can’t, sorry mate but your anti Brexit rant doesn’t wash here, NO WHISKY can’t be called or spelled the same as it’s protected by international law, not just EU trade deals
@@williebauld1007 Sadly you're wrong as I can point to at least 7 Whiskeys 100% produced in the US that says Scotch Whiskey on the label. It's usually the cheapest crap they have as well which is a shame as Scotch whiskey is generally rather good. Not on par with Japanese whiskey but generally good.
@@SaturnusDK Hoe can I be wrong when even you trying to make the point can’t distinguish between whisky and whiskey??? You actually make my point for me
@@SaturnusDK The BIG clue is in the spelling of the drink ffs go read FACTS
