The "Why do I go out killing?" Joke is classic.
Then another episode we find out it's because he ignores the voices. 😛
I ask myself the same question
To be fair he only did that when he wasn't clubbing seals.😆
Timestamp plz
4 minutes something
''I hear voices, but I ignore them and just carry on killing.'' Brilliant.
They cut off the best bit:
"You know this is wrong, Sean. They don't deserve it..."
The portal to the underworld is a genius bit that saved a very dry section from being cut out! The Director and Producer blessed Sean that day.
The best part of this is why. Rory is a huge piece of shit who insisted on getting all the questions ahead of time. The episodes he was on all played out like this, with him trying to one-up Stephen on things he learned on wikipedia the night before. Sean, knowing this, deliberately rained on his parade.
@@philm94I thought it was never confirmed it was him.
@@TequilaToothpick Stephen's refused to confirm who it was to the best of my knowledge. I always suspected it was John Sessions but at this point, who cares?
It's a very believable story though.
I loved Sean Locke and remember the first time I saw this episode, actually cheering him on 😆
@@philm94 it's now generally thought that the person who got the questions ahead of time was most likely John Sessions. Apparently Dara o Briain has said in a podcast that the person who knew the questions ahead of time is now deceased. Everyone just hates on Rory because the role of the really knowledgeable one on the show was for Stephen, not the panelists. That and the fact that Rory seemed to think it was a show to prove how knowledgeable he was rather than a comedic experience.
The speed with which Stephen says “Nurse! Nurse, he’s out of bed again!” in response to Sean’s claim (albeit true) that banana plants walk always gets me cackling.
he's said it more than once. I think it's one of his canned responses, frankly a bit jejune for me but we're all different
Thanks for teaching me a new word

Moat plants walk (pull themselves around) just not much.
I have a palm tree thats spent the last 6years walking over the wall next to it. Not sure where its going as its just concrete outside its bed.
I would comment, but it's time to walk the philodendren, then the camellia and I are going out dancing.
Rorys face when Sean is just mocking him is beautiful, Sean Lock was a legend
I always liked Sean Lock, but my respect and admiration for him rose considerably after his 'portal to the underworld' joke that effectively cut off that insufferable Rory McGrath being a self-flagellating bore. Most QI fans suspect that McGrath was the 'unnamed guest' who demanded to know what all the questions would be for each show they appeared on in advance, so they could research them and make themselves look super-clever by apparently knowing almost all of the answers. And, having watched that particular show in full, I can attest McGrath had been smug and very condescending right from the start. Sean was THE ONLY PERSON on that panel who finally stood up to him and knocked him off his pedestal, because Sean was a good man who believed everyone should share the spotlight, not just one self-important prick who thought he was better than everyone else. He could've even been nasty about it, but no - he took the diplomatic route instead, and used humour rather than humiliation so there would be no uncomfortable atmosphere afterwards. The man was a class act, and was taken far too soon.
"Do people call you tosser a lot?" = diplomacy
Plus the way that Stephen fry said "Incredible! This is everything I've got written down", as if to sarcastically call him out.
I have doubts as to whether McGrath was that unnamed guest, as the way Stephen put it made it sound like it was a guest that had appeared multiple times, which is not the case for McGrath.
I read it was John Sessions@@gymnasiast90
@@janchapman3445 Honestly, in light of what McGrath had been doing up until that point, that was mild - by ANY comedian's standards, not just Sean's. He'd been condescending to other panel members, 'correcting' their answers when he decided they hadn't got them as 'right' as they could've been, and just generally taking any and every opportunity to make himself look like the cleverest dick in the room - even if that was at the expense of making it look like he'd just 'schooled' another panel member. He was OBNOXIOUS.
I had heard it was actually John Sessions who was the 'unnamed cribber' on QI now - but honestly, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if McGrath didn't also pull the same stunt. He was never invited back after this one appearance, so there's that...
Sean was a unique human being, greatly missed.
@@thedrunkendutchman2291 And here i wish they had continued. 🥲
Wait he's dead?
Eh, he was a Brit, barely human.
@@karry299 barely human, mostly a god
@@blah311nice one 👍
Sean Locke was one of those pure comedians, always about making the most people laugh in any situation. And made it look so natural and effortless.
Yes, it comes from being clever and quick witted but also from being 'naturally funny' - the ability to be irreverant in the blink of an eye.
I see Sean as the aggregation of all the funniest drinking buddies that I've ever had. It's just silly humour that in theory anyone could come up with in a goofy moment, but every now and then you perceive the deeper level - and his ability to improvise over and over again shows his skill.
He truly was a one off.
you must have had a lot, because he is super funny, and your friends are probably shit.
"Sean's aliiive!"...that hit me. Miss his brilliant presence on our TV sets. Thanks for the compilation.
I'm still waiting for him to pop up from behind the Countdown desk and say that.
If only he still were.
Blessed statement.
Sean IS alive - he lives on in all these videos. One is only truly dead when no one remembers you anymore.
imagine if when they properly read Sean Lock's will, there was a passage that said "okay, I think it should be safe enough now to go dig up all the bodies in the backyard. no matter how many times I confessed, you never wanted to believe me"
The depressed person failing at dolphin therapy part is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs sean!
What strikes me mostly about these clips is that Stephen was such a natural host.
Probably lots of preparation, a wealth of common knowledge and the grace to let the comedians shine.
Don't forget he's had a team behind him. Fry is not THAT knowledgeable.
@@theothertonydutchI think I got that covered by the "lots of preparation" 🙂
To be honest, even the team behind him is sometimes very sharp, sometimes hopelessly lost. (Depending on the topic and depending on your own knowledge about that topic)
Kinda stopped watching QI after he left. I loved Sandy as a guest but the show isn't as good with anyone but Stephen as host.
@@LaTruiteuhI don't envy being you and finding the show worse with Stephen gone, the Show is JUST as good with Sandy on, no quality drop at all Sandy knocks it outta the park just like Stephen does. There's no good reason not to watch QI with Sandy as host unless you don't like her or just dislike the fact that a woman is hosting it. Now i'm not saying that is the case with you, it might be that you just have too much of an attachment to tv shows remaining the same and not letting them change the way their supposed to.
@@Keyecomposer It's a personal preference, and I tend to agree that Sandy was a good guest. (but doesn't own the show as Stephen did)
Maybe there is some misogyny in my personal preferences, maybe it's just homophobia, I will never admit to that of course.
Maybe it's just because all the interesting facts are handled already.
Maybe the production has made other changes behind the screen, but even Allen doesn't seem as inspired as he was before. So maybe he has misogynistic reasons for that too?
I "discovered" Sean while watching British quiz shows on youtube. That lead me to his stand-up. The man was truly awesome and was gone too soon.
Thanks for putting this compilation up.
Really highlights how good Sean Locke was.
Some of the surreal stuff, like on cats dows countdown, but also shows his intelligence too.
In ways Rory McGrath will only ever dream of.
McGrath also falters in comparison to several non-comedians with a lot of knowledge who visited the show, like Brian Cox and Ben Goldacre. Very knowledgable in their fields, but very likable and graceful. Brian Cox also showed some very creative thinking when Ross Noble asked him where you’d most likely find Ewoks in space.
Loved the way Sean rinsed the pompous Rory .
Imagine if in a few years a bunch of bodies turn up and it's proven that Sean did it. And here we have him confessing three times on pretty popular TV shows, in front of a live audience even.
No, let’s not.
His co-conspirators were banana trees.
if that's true I'm signing up for rectum of the year trials
BBC has form in that respect. Jimmy Sovile spent ages telling people he was a paedo, went to his grave completely unpunished.
We'll just blame the Dolphins for abandoning him in his hour of need and the meds not working 🤷
To any german out there, please do this man the honour of occasionally thinking about the 1966 world cup final and getting a bit annoyed.
The ball wasn't behind the line for the wembley goal.
@@philw6056Thank you 👍😁
your wish has been granted!
Nah
So sad to lose such a funny man at the peak of his career.
I miss Sean Lock more than some close relatives who have passed.
He was such a presence on our screens ... the funniest, most likeable guy...!
I genuinely miss his sense of humour so much. What a loss.
I hope his family take some solace in the fact that people have been able to let it be known how much he was appreciated, and is missed 👍
One of my favourites was when Stephen asked “what was the most disastrous musical jingle?” And Sean sang “free Myra hindley!” 😄
Sean's humor was so abstract and wild but dripping with sarcasm truly unique and one of the few ive seen reduce other comics to giggling wrecks
Walking banana plants... Why is there not a B grade 1950s sci-fi movie about this?
There sort of is ... The Day of the Triffids.
@@davep5788 - it was that and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes that made me wonder why there were no "Deadly Bananas" in the mix.
"I hear voices."
"DO YOU?!"
"But I ignore them and just carry on killing."
Set-up...and knocked, Sean.
He was one of a kind. Sorely missed on TV. HIs legacy will never die and continue to make us laugh with what he's left us.
It's the Dolphins joke for me, it absolutely ruins me!
Edit: The "ladder into space" episode was first aired in Oct 2007. 16 years later, a video game has now been created where you bounce on a series of trampolines into space. Sean was way ahead of the curve.
One of the best comedians ever. So sad he's gone. Real working man's joker.. rip feller❤
I think Sean is the only person to astounded Stephen Fry with a snippet of knowledge twice. ) 2;48 with the Gobi toad story and with the fact kids tastebuds change.
And the bananas walking at the end of this video.
@@m1j1browning although the banana fact didn't make Stephen Fry cow 'wow!' like the other two.
He went to university. The University of Life.
i remember when sandi toksvig was a candidate she often had these quirky bits of knowledge. didn't surprise me she became the new host
@@maartendetemmerman393 I remember her first presenting job (yes, I'm old) doing a Saturday morning kids show, and she was a little out of her depth. But she rapidly found her feet and niche.
The bit about the koala made even Rich Hall crack! 😂😂
Sean Lock was such a naturally, effortlessly funny man. There are very few people with that quality.
Very... few?
I will never stop watching Sean Lock videos.
When he shouted "Sean's alive" Ah, how I wished that were true today😥
One of the greats! You'll always be missed Sean
I miss Sean so much this guy was a joke machine thanks Sean love to your family
The DONT MENTION THE WAR bit was pretty amazing
That cormorants skit Sean did is golden! So precious
"Do get called 'tosser' a lot?!" 😂
Absolute legend Sean lock...RIP...love from Udupi, India
'I hope it's showjumping' 😂 incredible
If it suddenly came out that sean locke was actually a never caught serial killer; i think it would only make these funnier with how casual everyone is when he says it
Sean Lock winding up Rory Mcrath is brilliant, he is indeed a tosser
Arguiing over the Latin name for a bird LOL And Sean smashes the discussion. Classic!
Sean was an awesome comedic talent!!
Lock was a comic genius!! Never forgotten.
That dolphin bit never gets old. My sides are in orbit!
When even Bill Bailey looks bewildered and slightly scared, you know you've got a winning joke
8:00 Sean’s timing is immaculate! As soon as he hears the beginning of what we still have to find out is a geeks argument, he’s off!! I just now realised how impressive that is! That guy was a genius comedian, this compilation proves it, though unnecessary, yet heart warming and very much needed to clense my palet of all the rubbish in the news! What a hero. Thank you Sean!
And yes i do appreciate the gravitas of the moment (oct ‘23) but it such a pile i thankfully waste my minutes on Sean!! RIP my man!
Brilliant comedian, may he rest in peace and happiness
The world will never see another exactly like Sean Lock. :-/
7:04 And THAT is why McGrath has never been invited back
He was insufferable in that episode. Stephen said there had been one guest who insisted on seeing the questions before the show started taping, and I suspect it was him. He was awful, totally ruined the fun vibe.
@@argo12The person was a regularly. It was eventually revealed to be John Sessions.
A shame because I liked Sessions. He was also bright enough he probably didn't need any help. @@Vectortheangel
@@grf15 John Sessions had famously been a complete nightmare forever, and even his "close friends" barely tolerated him. His career was the result of luck and timing more than anything else. He came up during a boom time in alternative British entertainment.
@@thelastmotelI'm not surprised.
It’s such a heartbreak to know we’ll never get any more content from him
So great!
one of the best story tellers of modern history
such a huge loss that Sean is gone. Absolute legend.
Bless that man. Fondly remembered and sadly missed.
On the preview it said so captions available on this video. 😂 Your accents mess with AI. I love it.
The koala part made me laugh so much that after a point I could not breathe and instead of laughing made something akin to a death rattle 😅
"I was talking about The Great Geschmerzrift'!" LMFAO!!!!!!!!
Come back Sean Lock, we love you!
If only! One of my all time favourite comedians.
The dolphin joke is too good 😂
RIP Shaun Lock. British comedy legend😂❤👏👏👏
Lmao "DON'T MENTION THE WAR" sirens
We miss you Sean ❤
The bit where he shouts "SEANS ALIVE!"
if only mate, if only😢
Class
Sean came up with the idea of Only Up🤣
Sean and Alan are a cracking duo
2:26 It's nice when Stephen briefly joins in on the silly humour.
Sean's ALIIIVE !!😆😆...
I remember the episode with Rory McGrath .. he was such a smart ass that it almost ruined the episode. I will always be thankful that Sean Lock was there to take the piss!
He would of made for such an entertaining old man, we lost a British icon! So sad! Better to celebrate him like this though! 🙂
Holy ~ the dolphins part is peak Sean humour
Legend of a man
Sean was, is and forever shall be a killer. The best comedian Britain ever produced in my opinion. RIP.
He perfectly described only up!! 😮
god he’s so missed ❤
very good
The dolphin therapy 😂😂😂😂
When Sean did his impression of a Koala, he looked a lot like Henry McGee.
My great-grandfather was called Henry McGee, so it's weird seeing his name in a UA-cam comment!
What was the profession of the Henry McGee you are referring to so I can look him up, please?
@@daniellamcgee4251 He was one of the stars of The Benny Hill Show
I like to think that sean is gods jester, always making him and the court of angels laugh. God knows about his talent and about his skills.
I like to think that Sean is out there.
Hes in here mate. We wont forget him.
Killing
He's co-caretaker of the bouncy castle with Lucy
Haunting Rory McGrath and calling him a tosser
Miss Sean 😢
I miss Sean 😢. Just knowing Jon Richardson gets to go home with a carrot on Christmas annoys me.
I think, out of respect for Sean, Jon should never be allowed to eat carrots ever again.
There are more things I don't know than there are molecules in a glass of water….very poetic, and a sign of a very intelligent and humble man
He wouldn't like you ending a sentence without a period. Also a comma before and is not needed.
@@minners71 i'd imagine he couldn't give less of a toss about punctuation on a youtube comment
@@minners71 The comma is grammatically appropriate. I believe, in that context, it is referred to as 'the Oxford comma'. There is some poetic licence with commas.
Also, Stephen would call it a 'full stop', rather than a period. 'Period' has female menstrual cycle connotations, the thought of which, Stephen finds unpleasant. Fortunately, Stephen is unlikely to be reading our comments. 😊
@@minners71 first of all, english is a second language for me. Also, Stephen Fry doesn't seem so pedantic about grammar to me. I believe that the content is what matters the most, not grammar. Sorry.
And please, appreciate the fact that I used all the “periods” needed in the sentences above. But, just to be annoying to you, I will use a lot of commas, and, I will not end this sentence with a full stop
@@minners71 grow up
The banana facts are insane!
I miss Sean
2:37 can we appreciate Alan's eyeroll as well!!
Sean was never sexier than when he had those sideburns
Quite Interesting
Banana trees actually walk. Thanks for that one Sean Lock
RM facial expression when SL calls him a tosser, brilliant.
10:47 I just love this man's sense of humor lol
I hope it’s show jumping 😂😂
“Koala’s invented rice?” What a legend
NOT a twin engine JET plane but a twin engine PROP plane. That was the running gag in the movie Airplane. Anytime they would show the plane flying, the used the sound of a prop plane but clearly showing a jet plane.😊
Fun fact - the movie Airplane was based on had exactly the same audio - they lifted it from one to the other - also the Studios who made airplane bought the rights to the original black and white version so they owned it and could do anything with it they wanted - and parodied nearly every scene - so the rotor vs jet engine joke was in fact funnier than most people realised!!
I wish I could write that speech down about the geese.....
Sean locks sideburns is a first for me
Call that a bubble!😅
Ah I wish we had both Sean back and fry....and Boyle with his uncensored quips
Sean Lock was an absolute comedy genius 😂😂😂
The Germans just walked in to Holland when they want and spin the windmills 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
