I love the way Stephan always immediately apologises after his dirty jokes
That's just me lmao
Stephen trying to get answers out of the panelists is just like me trying to get kids to answer questions in class.
Someone said "what's your beef Wellington?"
Good one! /)
Of course every Blackadder fan will notice the irony of this question about Wellington on QI.
Zach Brookes Wellington's my favourite role that he did 😄
Amir Pourghoureiyan "I'm a Duke not a Lord!" [slap]
Leo Zaza This is coffee, I ordered TEA!!!
No... Explain the irony.
BAHHHH
"What in the name of Bonaparte's balls is this fellow doing now?!"
Wait a minute...two Americans on QI? THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD
And of course a barely enjoyable episode 😂
(That guy next to Alan is a boring bastard too)
@@liamwalton4183 Do these americans live in Britain? I've never heard of them
@@doohuh I believe they've both found success in Britain, but the black guy (whose name I'm forgetting) performs there primarily
@@slowfreq Reginald D. Hunter. I think he and Rich Hall live in the UK at least part time and found more success there
Rich Hall is somewhat funny despite the humourless dry delivery
Reginald Hunter is less funny and far too conceited
Neither would have made a name for themselves in America
My girlfriend and I were asked to leave El Vino's (a famous watering hole for journalists and lawyers) on Fleet Street in London in 1982 because she was wearing trousers (in those days women were only allowed in if they were wearing a dress or skirt).
I love how one of Britain’s greatest heroes was born and raised in Dublin and help give catholic’s equal rights in the Irish parliament.
Great ?
@@alanb9443 He wasn't born in the city of Dublin.
The Irish Parliament was abolished in 1801, Catholic Emancipation was 1829
His Grace should have just dropped those trousers and marched right in.
Reginald D. Hunter has the greatest voice
I haven't seen him much, but what I've seen has been pretty funny.
2:40 "Breeches/Breaches of etiquette" rofl
And the capital city of New Zealand bears his name too!
@Donald Trump Obviously not
My home is named Wellington.
That's my home city
QI - Stephen Fry's Outrageous Clothing
England's greatest hero born in Dublin
@Caratacus He was Irish and never denied he wasn't. His family had been living in Ireland for 800 years and intermixed with the local Irish, they were Norman's. Infact he maybe of mostly Irish ancestry, he wasn't born in Dublin btw he was born in Meath McCauley country, his ancestors were probably the mccauley's.
@Caratacus Really care to back that statement up with evidence? he clearly didn't think like that because he pushed hard for catholic emancipation. What qualifies as native Irish? being of Norman ancestry and living in Ireland for some 800 years? probably actually of native Irish ancestry whatever that means.
@Caratacus Lawrence James claims are propaganda. If he despised Catholics why did he push for catholic emancipation?
The duke firmly thought of himself as nothing but Irish he was considered Irish and only Irish. Depicted in British news papers as Irish chieftain with his feud with O'Connell. It was only after his success that the British started trying to apply the term ''Anglo-Irish'' to him, while simultaneously denouncing Irishmen correctly as just Irish like Henry grattan, Henry flood and Lord Edward FitzGerald. Duke married a Irish woman. He wrote when semi famines hit Ireland ''I confess that the annually recurring starvation in Ireland, for a period differing, according to the goodness or badness of the season, from one week to three months, gives me more uneasiness than any other evil existing in the United Kingdom.”
@Caratacus There was Irish nationalism, but even if there wasn't they were born in Ireland and culturally tangled in with the Irish for centuries. Silken Thomas for example.
@Caratacus Neither Wellington nor his peers would have understood any of these terms. Certainly, the notion of “the Anglo-Irish” didn’t exist in the England of the time, where, after the 1798 Rising, anti-Irish feeling was undifferentiating. When the Irish peer Lord Hervey entered a London coffee house, a customer drawled loudly: “Hello, I smell an Irishman.”
Hervey grabbed a carving-knife, and, slashing off the man’s nose, remarked sweetly: “You shan’t smell another.” Arthur Wellesley’s primary loyalties were threefold: to the Anglican Church of Ireland, to the Empire, and to himself. No man becomes a duke through reticence. Arthur’s generation were born with the surname Wesley, which they changed to Wellesley, presumably to distance themselves from the low-church founder of preachy, fustian Methodism. Such nomenclatural camouflage was a common practice right into the 20th century: did not the resoundingly Hanoverian Saxe-Coburg-Gotha become the equally resoundingly English Windsors?

I thought he would have been kicked out for shouting.
I assume James Madison would’ve been turned away by this club as well. Not that he’d be likely to show up in the area, being on the other side of the pond and all...
Tea!
Trousers!!
I had that happen once.
Except the other way around.
“I sure did enjoy that long winding story so we could get to THAT” Hah, does he have Stephen’s number.
Stephen Fry would know about the Duke of Wellington since he played the Duke of Wellington in Blackadder
Shout, shout and shout some more
Baaaaaaaaaaaah!
The women wore the trousers in that club
on this day in 1815, not 1813
These days if you arrived at a gentleman's club not wearing trousers you'd be equally in trouble.
1815
his fashionale pants are proudly displayed after he rage quit in kerala from the glorious guerilla warfare
The cone on his head
Good morning
this must be why 'no shirt, no shoes, no service' doesn't include pants
18 June, 1815, not 1813.
Breeches of etiquette?
Biscuit!
Stephen...
They were wrong, I was thrown out because of my lace thong.
+Josh Cohen He was a gay general .
The Duke of Wellington was quite a happy gent indeed!
I'm sure the codpiece didn't go over well either!
So long breeches bad,traffic cone good?
When a man soils a Wellington he puts his foot in it...
Wellington purchased his way through the ranks with his brother's money and he nearly lost the Battle of Waterloo if it wasn't for the Prussians
wtf what kind of grown man would out his hair in little girls pigtauls and go on national tv...
a guy who is so tough that he needs to wear his hair in pigtails with little red bows just to show he has a humorous side.
He supposedly bet his niece that Trump wouldn't win. The little girl's haircut is the penalty.
@@SidneyBroadshead This video was uploaded in 2014, you idiot. This episode is from 2011. Must have had a really clairvoyant niece.
horse poo, the beef wellington was invented in a hotel in Wellington NZ not by the general.
That seems rather hard to believe, the Telegraph said the idea started in France and was tweaked by patriots in England which wanted to give it a less 🥖🇫🇷🥖 French sounding name?
New Zealand in the 1800-1900s wasn't super fancy and probably wouldn't have any real reason to do that instead of just roasting the beef plainly, like visiting farmers from the provinces would have expected it to be cooked. Even though Wellington was the capital, it's not like there were very many visiting dignitaries to make such an invention.
(it's entirely possible I got megawhooshed though, idk)
Wellington was Irish.
He famously said, “Being born in a stable does not make one a horse.”
@@michaeldukes4108
Wrong. Daniel O'Connell attributed that statement to Wellington. Wellington was Irish. Wellington was born in Ireland before the Republic of Ireland was established. However, Wellington was from Ireland, but he was not of Ireland. And that is what he considered himself. Had the Irish War of Independence been fought during his lifetime, Wellington would have been executed as a traitor.
If you think he was a hero then please read up on his exploits in India. If you are a conscientious person then you'll change your mind.
Actually, Blücher and his troops did most of the winning of that battle...
idiot
It was a team effort. Everyone did their part. As someone once said, "I love it when a plan comes together."
