Hi, David! Ah, it's Stephen's butler training coming to the rescue. "I say, Jeeves...?" (Hugh Laurie? 'House'? Bah! We want more Bertie Wooster and WODEhouse.)
If i had been there I would have immediately got up to help, then spent the remainder of the time wondering if I did that because I'm a woman or because I was being kind.
whenever someone mentions aka-seltzer tablets, i can't help but remember a science class i had; i was in a group with two guys, and we were testing out the rate at which the tablets dissolved in water. i'm working away, and i asked the boys to crush one of the tablets, and i hear them talking; one of them says to the other "hey, doesn't this look like cocaine?" i turn my back for about a minute, the teacher comes up to us and asks me "where's your tablets gone?" and we both look to the boys. one of them has snorted the crushed up tablets, and the other is laughing his ass off as the idiot struggles to breathe because he fucking inhaled lemon effervescent tablets that could barely constitute as a powder.
I had a kid snort cupric(II) sulfate in my chemistry class in high school. He wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer but would do anything for attention
When I was in high school, my chemistry lab partner was That Kid. The teacher tells us explicitly to NOT keep flicking the bunson burner lighters, and what does he do? Flick them incessantly. Teacher tells us not to grab the test tubes with our bare hands, AND HE DOES EXACTLY THAT. What I'm saying is, I sympathize entirely with David Mitchell here.
And once again, the only one who made the slightest attempt to keep things safe is blamed for the inevitable tragedy caused by those who didn't. Typical.
I'm surprised the bottle made it home safe. It couldn't have been properly closed. But, I'm sorry to say, your friend is stupid. What did he expect to happen to -80° dry ice in a (presumably) -18° freezer? Hope nobody got harmed.
Dragon Curve Enthusiast i know that He is an Idiot, I honestly dont know what He expected. I suppose He just thought ice goes in the freezer and everything is fine. No He didnt properly close the Container, He thought He was very clever making taking security measures. Thankfully noone got hurt, but the needed to buy a new freezer :-D
Any chemist knows that gas production + sealed vessel increases the likelihood of an explosion, so I was as nervous as David Mitchell was when watching this.
David brings up a good point, if there's just air and liquid in there it could explode due to the heating up of the liquid. And there's nowhere for the air or liquid to escape to
I thought that at first, I think because she was trying to act like Stephen in her first few episodes and it didn't really work, but then she started just being herself and I think she's a great host.
“We’re putting it all in!” Alan is such a child. I love it!
If that wasn’t meant to happen, they wouldn’t have had that much on hand.
Reminds me of school - with me as Allan ,,,,,,
David Mitchell's genuine look of concern when Alan said it would hopefully explode
David Mitchell, saying what we're all thinking! Then it completely desends into an actual chemistry class xD
Stephen Fry cleaned the mess. He is such a gentleman.

Is that how easy it is to be called a gentleman nowadays cause count me in
I enjoyed how QI was so much like a teacher teaching a class.
SIR! SIR! SIR!
That so brings me back to my school days.
I saw your mum in the B&Q sir!
‘There is nothing funny about making people laugh’
I was a clown for many years and it's very true it's a serious business
There is just nobody like Stephen Fry - national treasure for sure.
id argue hes the most likable human ever

Sounds like a thing I'd have done in my childhood...
OK, you've got me genuinely laughing at that.
SIR! SIR! SIR!
This is something my friends and I did with smartees in our high school chemistry class 😂😂 (I don’t recommend it)
I had a kid snort cupric(II) sulfate in my chemistry class in high school. He wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer but would do anything for attention
"We all know why Alan has industrial strength tissues". Lol😂😂😂😂
for the mess Stephen makes around him?
@@harrypainter7472 it's what everyone does during the queen's speech
@@harrypainter7472 Because he' a wanker?
They missed a PERFECT opportunity to Klaxon Stephen when he spilled the Lava Lamp! LOL!
haha what would the message say you reckon?

“It was not how it was supposed to happen at all”
My life in a nutshell 😂
This still cracks me up - every time!🤣😂
And once again, the only one who made the slightest attempt to keep things safe is blamed for the inevitable tragedy caused by those who didn't.
Typical.
Can't not read that in David's voice lol.
It really is school all over again
The thumbnail looks like "Top 10 Disturbing Photos Taken Before Disaster".
I actually lost my shit laughing when Stephen knocked his over! Out of everyone there he was the last person I'd expect to make that mistake! 🤣🤣
Great that Stephen did the cleaning up😊
I love Ronni’s cry of surprise! Suddenly she’s so beautiful to me.
fun fact, those are industrial strength tissues. We use them at work for cleaning up spills.
The anxiety while waiting for the "disaster" to happen is real. Lol Thanks to whoever comes up with the titles..
I'm totally with David on this one. I would have opened the lid once in a while to prevent the cap from shooting off.
That is exactly why you press the lid in as tightly as possible, and leave it alone
Oh, I do see the appeal. I work in a lab. Dry ice in tightly closed eppendorf tubes is all I'm gonna say... XD
Dragon Curve Enthusiast a friend of mine once took dry ice in a Bottle at home and put it in the freezer.
Well, long story short, his fridge exploded.
I'm surprised the bottle made it home safe. It couldn't have been properly closed.
But, I'm sorry to say, your friend is stupid. What did he expect to happen to -80° dry ice in a (presumably) -18° freezer?

This is every GCSE chemistry lesson in 4 minutes
Alan is such a school boy! 😁
I think it'd be almost impossible to make one while as stoned as a person needs to be to enjoy a Lava Lamp.
TheHutchy01 I regularly enjoy a lava lamp without having consumed any kind of intoxicant.
Agree. Isnt being stoned the only way to enjoy a lava lamp?!
Set it up and have it lying around, then once you're stoned just drop the tablets in?
1:31 Ronnie’s finger began to melt onto the side of her lamp.
Excellent, just what I needed on a lockdown day.
"you can try this at home"
"I've mixed oil and water together"
Yeah look I think you've missed a step
2:23 for a quick replay!
“Sir! Should we all do that, sir?”
Yes, Stephen. Comedy is a very serious business.
My sister got me a lava lamp for Xmas ...... it's more entertaining than most of what's on TV, apart from Q.I., of course.
I feel like David Mitchell is my British spirit animal.
when Stephen said "effervescent hangover cure"
I felt that
"Sir! Sir! Sir!"
"You're in trouble!"
Jimmy Carr's a lot better when he's the presenter, you can tell he struggles as a panellist because he actually has to wait for his turn to speak 😂
“because they separate.. don’t they Dave” Lol
Jimmy raising his hand like a school kid lmao!!!!!!
I thought I had watched every episode 3 times. But I have never seen this episode and I can find the whole episode on you tube
I had meant to write can't find..
Series L Episode 11 'Lumped Together' :)
"There's nothing funny about making people laugh"
Any chemist knows that gas production + sealed vessel increases the likelihood of an explosion, so I was as nervous as David Mitchell was when watching this.
Pausing at 2:25 was a good decision.
Then go through it frame by frame with "," and "."
You see the exact moment -- mid-clap -- it dawns on Stephen that the container is falling.
"We all know why Alan has industrial strength tissues..."
Industrial-strength sneezing.
television at its best
David brings up a good point, if there's just air and liquid in there it could explode due to the heating up of the liquid. And there's nowhere for the air or liquid to escape to
For those who would like a timestamp to watch Stephen knock over the lava lamp on repeat, here it is 😂 2:23
entertainers are emazing
omg I've never seen the very end before! amazing
Okay, this is all well and good, but WHERE DID THE BOX OF TISSUES COME FROM at 3:11 ?
Off stage maybe?
The amount of stuff Stephen has broken over the years....remember that Christmas tree?
If I ever rewatch that episode, I skip over it. The people to whom the tree belonged looked rightfully very annoyed.
Yeah had it was man handled then by Princess leia
im scared before watching this video
This is why Stephen left.
Yeah, _that's_ why he left, it had _nothing_ to do with him doing the same thing for over a decade and deciding he needed a change.
r/woosh
I don't get it. What does woosh mean?
@@SuperRocketKnight It's the sound of the joke going over someone's head.
Woosh
02.25 sloooow mootion, lol
"Put it all in!"
That's what she said.
Fuck off, Michael.
2:23
You all have detention after the show.
It's like watching an episode of Sooty lol
Science and a mess! Yes! Never happened in my Chemistry Class!
It sure did in mine -
Well, to be honest, we sometimes left out the science........
Wow ronnie ancona hasnt had a face lift has she
And with that, Stephen was replaced by Sandi Toksvig
Not quite, though it's a funny thought.
Picking up an electric light that is covered in water potentially worse than it was
Tiss ewes
I wish Stephen hadn't left, its not as good now with Sandy in the chair.
kidneystone53 it was a medical reason why he left, but yes it sucks that he had to go
I thought that at first, I think because she was trying to act like Stephen in her first few episodes and it didn't really work, but then she started just being herself and I think she's a great host.
Well Stephen had to leave, and there's nothing we could do about that. I think Sandy was the best choice for a replacement host and I adore her.
Sandi is awesome.
Sean Thompson I agree that she is a great host, but I preferred Stephen.
Ronnie Ancona there desperately trying to make her ‘little balls’ comment funny.
Ronnie there desperately trying to get people to hear her ‘little balls’ joke in about 50 times throughout the video.
Give up, love.
Tbh Jimmy's laugh sounds so exaggerated
i would pay money if it could make sure that i never have to hear jimmy carr’s stupid laugh ever again
