the thing with QI ("Quite Interesting") is that the questions are written specifically for nobody to get the right answer, so they give out points for how interesting the response is. it's about the conversation the questions generate than it is about actual knowledge.
"I said "Ribbit" fiiiirst". That alarm you hear for certain answers is not to signal a correct answer. It sounds if the answer given is considered "Not only wrong but way too obvious". It's used to call out hack jokes and common misconceptions and loses you points.
@@AmericansLearn Alan Davis followed that path, often ending with a score far into the negative numbers (At least back when I still used to watch the show).
The term red Indian is what is used in the movies which is where you would hear the particular noise he mentioned....native Americans do NOT make the sound.......the red Indians in movies however do. It is still not a great thing to say but as a descriptor it is acurate.
there is an QI episode where they talk about most of what they tell (or what you learn at school) being wrong in a few years because of new research and knowledge.
Hi Lauren, when Sandi was talking about noxious substances and Alan said it's called lynx, that's a mens deodorant marketed in the US as axe. Btw, you should have a look at Alan's "Blue Whale" compilation. starting in series one, whenever a question about heaviest, largest or longest came up Alan always answered Blue Whale, usually wrongly, after the first few times the question setters would lure him into the answer with a very ambiguous question. The one time it was the correct answer, Alan hesitated, and someone else got the points.
This is SO old! "They recently found 2 new species of frog"...add another 5 (that I know of) named species since you recorded this, all named after Star Trek captains! 😄
the Noah story is not totally accurate. According to the original texts the animals that the bible said were fit to eat or Kosher came on the Ark in sevens.
There are ways to get "craps" your neighborhood also - though I don't recommend that😁 I think that the "Perfume of The Timeless" is already on your plans so nothing about that. Think NW publishes many: Making of Yesterwynde - atleast 1&2 are out now, but 2,5 min vids should be gathered in one session?? This I count two asks? It's the first one I asked from this channel: but was not nowhere online the - now it seems to uploaded again, shorter? "Do Women Know Men's Bodies?!" (nope, LOL) ua-cam.com/video/54l2Z0eAEeo/v-deo.html

I would make it my goal to lose ALL the points at least once.

They do if you drop a bowling ball on their foot
first clip the female comedian was cal wilson, she was from new zealand but lived in australia, she passed away in oct 2023
Alan wasn't doing Kermit, his nephew Robin sang 'Halfway up the Stairs'.
There isn't as much of a PC culture in Britain as there is in the US. There's some but not as strict as across the pond.
If human knees bent the other way, what would chairs look like?🤣
"I don't get crabs other places."
I should certainly hope not...

The facts on QI are generally true facts. They are very keen to do their research and have a whole team to do so.

Well, male birds do have testicles, but they are internal organs.
Please please do more QI, you have such a great sense of humour.
The science videos are the best! P.S. Mad Hatterpillars are real (but not the scientific name).
" I DONT GET CRABS OTHER PLACES " OUT OF CONTEXT
An Owl’s legs go all the way up to just under the head! The legs are hidden under all the feathers.
