This clip is from QI Series O, Episode 10, 'Origins and Openings' with Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies, Susan Calman, Rich Hall and Josh Widdicombe. - Розваги
*_"...I bet you do girl, I bet you do?!!"_*
It's lovely to see Sandi laugh so hard. 😆
Yeah, she seemed to really enjoy it instead of just smirking in amusement.
Stomach hurts
I just want to say how good a job Sandi is doing hosting the show. I was a bit worried it would die once Stephen left, but I think she's doing a great job filling his shoes
Shawn Robert Doyle And keep in mind that's no easy task, him with his size 13 and her being so tiny.
Shawn Robert Doyle it's so nice and refreshing to see this comment for once instead of the usual, "the show is trash now," that I see so often on these videos. Sandy is doing a marvelous job.
Sandi is a fantastic successor to Stephen. They each hosted the show in their own unique way. Sandi's QI is a much more relaxed affair, yet still full of information and tons of laughs.
I was worried too but she's doing an amazing job!
Agreed!
"like that but with a tune" Sandi is savage! :D
I think she said about Susan once it was nice to have someone even shorter than her on the show. People always punch down more viciously don't they?
Didn't help that she started gargling towards the end :P
+kisbie As far as I know, they're friends as well as collegues - besides having worked together several times when Sandi was hosting The News Quiz, she attended Susan's wedding, and possibly the other way round, not sure exactly how long they've known each other - so it's more good-natured ribbing amongst friends than just a random jab. :)
And yeah, her singing can sometimes go a bit off the rails, but I've also heard her belt one out beautifully on an episode of I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue, so I guess it just depends. :)
The look on Susan’s face... 😡
That was a proper burn and a half, that was!
When Alan breaks off into his one man shows it's always brilliant.
It's like he's suddenly channeling a diety of laughter.
Too bad I couldn’t understand half of it… When when they enable captions?
Mmmm... definitely not always
Alan absolutely wreaked Sandi.
@@Lightraymuse is that like wreaked havoc? He "wreaked Sandi".
I love the relationship between Alan and Sandi. It seems like they really care about eachother.
Just as you think this joke is coming to an end, Alan breaks out; “HIGH ON A HILL… it wasn’t me singing…” and you start cracking up again 🤣🤣🤣
So glad that Alan is an institution of this show.
Sandi laughing like a little girl again is hilarious! It's such fun when you get a laugh like that.
Well it’s nice and I don’t get the sun but I wanna was a nice day
Rich Hall is an underappreciated genius
I find myself coming back to this video just to hear Sandi's laughter. It's so infectious.
syco me too! And the video with her confusion about the bananas! Something so brilliant about her losing her composure!
Same
I don't
@@bigjohnson9606
I think technically you can’t be sure, either you’ve seen this before, in which case you actually have found yourself coming back to this video, or this is the first time you’ve seen it, in which case you can’t be certain that in the future you may unexpectedly decide you’d like to see it again (maybe you’re in a delirium or something). Still, I admire your certainty. Keep it up!
As wonderful as this was, nothing will top hearing Sandi and the sadly late Jeremy Hardy on the News Quiz where he was making her laugh so much she was barely able to manage the sentence:
"Please stop, I'm going to die" 😄
Alan freewheeling is some of TV's best comedy.
It's great too when Bill Bailey goes freewheeling !
@@keithf_ In his earlier appearances, he's pretended to be smoking a pipe with a pen.. Then he started bringing a pipe to look classy with when he's role playing.
@@Alacritous
Yes, Bill Bailey certainly did that.
Here are some of my favourite QI guest comedians :-
Bill Bailey, Sean Lock, David Mitchell, Giles Brandreth
@@keithf_ RIP Sean
I don't think I've ever seen an episode where Sandi laughs like she does in this one. It's great to see...and hear.
Have probably seen this clip a hundred times and Alan just keeps getting funnier every time! I lose it!!! They idea that Julie Andrews is still in character after all this time and common as muck. Comedy gold.
i'd like to have some subtitres or closed captions on this... i can understand spoken english, e.g. when stephen did the speaking, but here it is a bit too much...
I work on sets. One day Julie Andrews strode up to me on her first visit to set before she started working officially. I happened to be standing beside the director. In my career I have been around countless celebrities and never once really cared. It's just a job. As Julie Andrews stood there gushing about how happy she was to join the cast and crew, sometimes directly at me, I felt like a 7 year old. My entire childhood flooded back and if she had asked me a direct question I wouldn't have been able to speak a word. True story.
"You are sixteen... GoInG oN sEvEnTeEn."
"Yeah it's like that but with a tune."
One minute thirty of standard QI banter and 25 seconds of inspired Alan madness that brings everyone to tears!
I'm with Josh on this: I understood none of Alan's impression.
And yet, still hilarious.
They say of the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is...
Is it?
there are no straight lines.
whatevahhhh!
I seem to remember that.
What do they say!?
What do they say!?
Stephen should be a contestant ....
That would be cool...
He's dead
@@windmillwilly
Umm no he's not..
What universe are you from...?
Windmill Willy not really but ok
@@katybreen2939
Don't get it
Shut up...
Sandi has the most wonderful laugh :) I love seeing her genuinely enjoying herself on the show
Forgot Josh' last name and googled ''josh ginger comedian''.
His name is Josh Widdicombe. What a time to be alive.
Just a heads up- the names of the participants are always in the description below the video :)
la thanks didn't know that
"Ginger comedian" would've done it.
Probably
Well that's what i'm calling him from now on.
I love his impression, so unfounded & the cockney accent is genius!
With Stephen it was clever, and witty, and we thought it couldn’t be better, but with Sandy it’s all that and also positively joyous!
Alan Davies is fabulous! He should do a synopsis of the entire Sound of Music. It would be hilarious!
Many thought QI would die without Stephen. But Sandi has proven that false
She's very clever but as the show has progressed she is falling into Alan's pathetic humour. Shut him up Sandi, you don't need him.
I loved QI with Fry but I think Sandi is better.
@@TheGodlessGuitarist I like her more too. And BTW as english is not my mother tongue I understand her much better than Stephen.
Sandi improved it.
@@wendydawson697 How? You seem to imply something.
A uterus is hilarious, of course.
I bloody love Sandi’s laugh. Ever since Jeremy Hardy’s middle class kids rant where she said the immortal words “you have to stop, I’m going to die”
Was that on QI?
@@ptroinks No, it was on The News Quiz, radio show Sandi used to chair as well. Search for "Jeremy Hardy bright children" and it's the top result
This is what Alan said: "Do you like 'em tied up with string? I'll bet you do, girl! I'll bet you do! What's a deer, what's a female deer? Come on! Oh Julie, leave it alone. I'll get the puppets out, I'll get the puppets out, do you wanna see the goatherd, you wanna see the goatherd? *badly impersonates the song The Lonely Goatherd* It wasn't me singing. *keeps singing* I'm on with Maria - I'll be back with ya - on Maria. What's up, Julie?"
Thanks a million! I saw this video about 50 times çause it's so funny, but I couldn't hear all the words. String and goatherd. Thats a relief. Thanks again for your trouble.
He’s saying “I’m Maria” not “on Maria”
You leftie snowflakes would laugh if your arse was on fire ,shite .
@@garymay799 Some sense of humor you have. Sound like the type who can clear out an entire pub in about 5 seconds...
@@f123raptor And you sound a right arsehole .
His reaction to films on planes is much like my reaction to anything when I’m hungover. I cried over that McDonalds advert with the old man and his granddaughter once 😂
"Yeah, it's like that, but with a tune." Poor Susan. :D I love her to bits, she's so adorable.
The yodelling at the end was the final straw..
Rich Hall's bit about the credit card commercial 🤣🤣
I loved the return of Rich, he has to appear more I very much missed his presence on the last Fry seasons. He and Brydon we're great guests.
Adriano Vaz Rich Hall probably delivers the most laughs per sentence than any other QI regular, even though he’ll remain quiet for long spells. He also once defined his job as “talking about intelligent things stupidly and stupid things intelligently”.
@@kisbie Ironically, so did Adriano, in his last sentence
Adriano Vaz I adore 🥰 Rich Hall! ❤️🦋🙏
Indeed, it's been many moons since Rich was on.
@@kingbeauregard Yeah, but which moons are we *talking* about, Beau?
Alan's IMPRESSION Reduces Sandi To TEARS!!!!!! (MUST WATCH)
Title if this was a countdown video
Nathan Dehnel Lol, a video entitled "Jon Richardson's WEAK insult is HILARIOUS!!" is a suggested video from this one for me
Oh no, Angor has taken over the QI channel!
Or "Sandi Toksvig LITERALLY reduced to TEARS by Alan's HILARIOUS Julie Andrews impression."
and there'll be about 5 minutes of other clips that have no relation to the title whatsoever
And they'd find excuse for slipping in the glory holes clip.
I have no clue what he said at the end but Sandys laugh is contagious 🤷🏻♀️😂🤣
"Do you like 'em tied up with string? I'll bet you do, girl! I'll bet you do! What's a deer, what's a female deer? Come on! Oh Julie, (I can't make out the rest of the sentence over the laughing, all I can hear is "please with the loan", which doesn't make sense so he must have said something else). I'll get the puppets out, I'll get the puppets out, do you wanna see the goatherd? *badly impersonates the song The Lonely Goatherd* It wasn't me singing. *keeps singing* I'm on with Maria - I'll be back with ya - on Maria. What's up, Julie?"
Alice Orwell That makes more sense. Once I heard it as "please with the loan", my brain couldn't hear anything else
Also the last bit was "I'm... Maria. I'll be back with you. I'm Maria!"
Privacy Lover you got it all! ❤️🦋🙏
I think she's saying "oh, "Julie", leave me alone. I'm Maria, i'll be back with you, I'm Maria. Which is the charachters name in the film, apparently she can't let it go
I love seeing her laugh. This is my favorite Qi clip.
That is definitely one of, if not the best, of Alan's moments.
Seeing Sandi laugh so hard literally made my day lol. Omg that was awesome
Emotions and get a little while and I think it’s a nice little bit late
Alan was quoting lines and lyrics from the movie " the sound of music" but he was doing it in a rough accent. He was also doing it in a way filled with innuendo. Which if you've seen the movie is well out of place, for who'd be singing the lines. In most cases Julie Andrews. It was quite funny to an old fogey like myself, or in this case Sandy, who's heard all the lines before.
Think of your favorite frilly little character who's always prim and proper and then all of the sudden they sound like your chain smoking drunkard uncle when they open their mouth.
It's a shock to your senses and can make you laugh.
Comedy is like food. Everyone likes something different. Or has a different point of view they are seeing it from.
But just because I don't like bell peppers doesn't stop stores from selling them. or people from stuffing and cooking them.
My two cents, hope this helps.
Robin Garrison Northern? Cockney? What?
North London? obviously OP thinks London is centre of universe :D
Julie Andrews is well known to speak in very industrial language off camera, so Alan was probably tapping into that. Think it may even have been mentioned before on QI.
Robin Garrison The confusion is understandable - Cockney and Northern are basically opposites.
Norf Laaaanden.
Rich Hall is super underrated, one of the few American comedians I find funny!
Even after all these years, I find this video utterly delightful 😊
Sometimes I forget how quick sandi is. Absolute legend
“Do you cry at things” and “it’s like that, but with a tune”
Sandi, is doing really great as the host, luv ST but luv ST even more.
Who else remembers her in No73 back in the day
Ian Kirkham: I used to love watching No 73. That's where I first saw Sandi, been watching ever since. She's so funny, I love her when she laughs.
"Ethel" - that was her character's name on No. 73. I didn't know she was called Sandi for a long time or that they had 'character names' on No. 73 back then.
@@LittleMAC78 I was exactly the same, all those years ago now...
Sandi corpsing is one of the funniest and best sounds/sights in broadcasting. Other memorable occasions include Call My Bluff and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
I bet you do, girl! I bet you do! xD
The Sound of Music was on BBC One today, so I'm here to appreciate this segment now that I fully understand it. Truly one of the best QI moments of all time.
I thought Sandi Toksvig's burn ("It's like that but with a tune") to Susan Calman was much funnier, particularly Calman's reaction (i.e. irritation that she couldn't think of a come back).
Compare and contrast to Jimmy Carr who'd have something on standby to destroy her. Not a huge fan of his standup but in person or on the spot when he's improvising, he's genuinely witty and especially cruel with putdowns.
I don't think she was irritated that she couldn't think of a comeback. It was more of "Damn, well played" and it was cute.
When she appears on I'm Sorry I haven't a clue she proves she cannot sing.....
focuselp, she carried the tune, but went off a couple of times
focuselp My mom's line was: "I always wished that I could sing. Now I with that _you_ could sing."
"It's like that but with a tune."
And presumably not sung by a dalek.
Ouch.
It wasn't that bad at all. Leave the humour to Sandi.
Slithery creatures
That crush entire nations
Bright lazer bolts
And loud EX-TER-MIN-ATion.
@@deaddoll1361 did you not hear the weird voice breaking sound in her mic? Sounded like a robot for a second...
@@deaddoll1361 - The Dalek bit was funny. You're a curmudgeon.
Funfact: Although Sound of Music is certainly one of the films most strongly associated with Austria, very few Austrians have ever seen it. It is well known in Austria that it is very popular in the English speaking countries and also in Asia, and the tourism sector markets it accordingly, but the film itself and its songs are largely unknown within the population.
I met Sandi many years ago when I was in hospital at the same time as her and she was absolutely lovely and was writing one of her books at the time
Sandi Toksvig is brilliant as QI host
Alan Is f*ing brilliant when he sets off. .. love how he can break Sandi down with just one sentence :)
Sandi always makes me laugh out loud
Common - sheer uncontrollable laughter, Sandi wetting her knickers (I understand) what a wonderful clip!
I have never been more jealous of someone than I have been of Josh for not having watched The Sound of Music. It's my most hated film and I have to sit through it every christmas because everyone in my family loves it. Josh doesn't know how lucky he is
I've never seen it either because it's crap. . How do I know if I've never seen it ? Because its a musical and they are all crap.
I’ve never seen it either and have no intention too
I’ve seen it - omg it was horrible!
I’ve seen it once
What a lovely bunch of people
It is a rare, joyful moment when Alan manages to get Sandi into gigglelock.
Sandi is a gem.
Thank you for the yodelling at the end.
Sandi said that yodelling was her weakness and that she found it hilarious, didn’t she?
Clever
In Iran, it was called "Tears and Smiles" :)
Much like Rich's reaction to that emotional rollercoaster of a credit card advert.
this is one of the moments i just randomly remember. and its just great.
1:51 - I love how they had to fiddle with the sound here to avoid a copyright strike.
Oh man, Alan is such an underrated comic, I actually passed out from laughing at this when it aired. I laughed so hard I didn't breathe.
He's so funny "I bet you do girl, I bet you do" hahahahaha
Thanks for the Yodeling at the end 🤣
Sandi in QI and Graham Norton are the funniest quick witted hosts EVER.
Could make out maybe 10% of what Alan said there. But it was magnificent to hear Sandi giggle like she was 16 :D
... going on seventeen?
Janne Aalto I listened to it 3 times and was able to get most of what he said, if you're wondering:
"Do you like 'em tied up with string? I'll bet you do, girl! I'll bet you do! What's a deer, what's a female deer? Come on! Oh Julie, leave it alone. I'll get the puppets out, I'll get the puppets out, do you wanna see the goatherd, you wanna see the goatherd? *badly impersonates the song The Lonely Goatherd* It wasn't me singing. *keeps singing* I'm on with Maria - I'll be back with ya - on Maria. What's up, Julie?"
@@nowandaround312 "I'm Maria", no? Makes sense her thinking she's Maria irl.
@@michaellejeune7715 It does sound like "I'm Maria" but Alan was pretending to be someone interviewing Julie Andrews (and calling her Maria). He says "I'm on with Maria" and gestures as though there's someone there, then turns to the audience and says "I'll be back with ya" and then turns back to the imaginary Julie and says "on Maria" meaning he's continuing the interview.
Privacy Lover Maria is the name of the main character in the Sound of Music played by Julie Andrews..
Seeing Sandi in tears is one of the funniest things I've seen and when Alan goes that's it for QI.
I'm with Josh on this one.
I agree. 2 cushions even.
Might be a generational thing, I wasn't sure of it either
Alan was quoting lines and lyrics from the movie " the sound of music" but he was doing it in a rough northern almost cockney accent. He was also doing it in a way filled with innuendo. Which if you've seen the movie is well out of place, for who'd be singing the lines. In most cases Julie Andrews.

"a rough northern almost cockney accent". Elaborate please.
Robin Garrison I'm a huge fan of Alan and Sandi, but although I'm an Anglophile, sadly I'm an American one. I'd 'seen' most of the joke in Alan's impression but was confused, since Julie obviously doesn't talk that way. Your comment helped me see that this is precisely why it was so funny to Sandi, thanks.
The world would be so much happier with more of Alan's impressions. Can you arrange this. Pretty please.💖💖
The Brits really know how to make people laugh.
Indeed we do, so much so that it's gotten to the point that i'm afraid most of you hethens are simply driven insane by even a small dose of the Queen's true comedy. In fact during the cold war we actually used the members of monty python to torture information out of suspected russian spies.
@@RAFMnBgaming you managed to make everything unfunny
+Archimedes Your face managed to make everything unfunny.

@@AbsoluteAbsurd I'm with you
Alan Davies, comedy genius.
That Julie Andrews impression was so unique but effective. 😂
You can see the moment Alan's brain goes "click - comedy goldmine! Sandi will love this!!!" 😂
2:16
I wish we had more shows like this in theUS
I just love Sandi.
Alan you god damn hero.
I just love Alan Davies!
In Spanish the title was translated as "Smiles and tears" (Sonrisas y lágrimas)
In French the title was translated to "The Melody of Happiness" (La Mélodie du Bonheur).
These are beautiful.
That's interesting, they're all so different, except "The Melody of Happiness" is very similar to the original title. Somehow "The Sound of Music" also became All Together Passionately, Smiles and Tears, and The Bastards Got Away.
In Portuguese it was translated as "Música no Coração" meaning Music at Heart roughly
Daniel Hackett - Superb sir! My neighbours must be wondering why I'm screaming with laughter at 12.20am , with no-one else in the flat.
Everybody in the world loves that movie - practically NOBODY in Austria has ever seen it. 🙂
I saw it on a flight from Tokyo to Singapore, at the age of 43...
I can't figure out what's funnier: Alan's schtick or Sandi losing her mind:)
I love this show.
In Turkey it's called "Neseli günler", which Google translates to "Nuclear Days"
Like the Vapors album? Did they dub "Turning Japanese" over one of the songs?
Now according to Google translate "Happy days"
Alan Green So what do they call ‘Happy Days’ in Turkey?
It's called "a noviça rebelde" in portuguese, which means "the rebel novice"
+kisbie "These are a few of my favorite Fonz"?
i just love rich hall so much
Side note, my grandmother had a “sound of music” music book that was titled “all together now”
Hey! Rich Hall! I'm pleasantly surprised to see he's still around.
In portuguese The Sound of Music is something in the lines of "The Rebellious Novice"
Has QI for UA-cam done an Alan or others riffing compilation? For me these are it’s best moments
I love the part of the film when Maria confides to the Reverend Mother about seeing the Captain again “...she couldn’t face it...” and the Reverend Mother replied “Maria, what is it you c*nt face?”
Best. Line. EVAR.
I'm very much outta the loop and behind the times here but I'm thrilled to see Rich back on the show
The fact he makes Julie Andrews out to be an aggressive person is fantastic
“Sometimes I look at you and wonder how your thoughts happen, where these things grow...” -Stephen
Well, in Latam Spanish The Sound of Music is The Rebellious Nun...
The yodelling at the end caught me off guard more than anything else
The Sound of Dialogue. Coming to Seoul theaters near you
Brill...Drop in to see "Song Potion" if you're ever in Iceland ;)
or No Sound of Music... :)
Rare moment of genius from Alan Davies - delightful
I spent a christmas in Tonga. They showed Sound of music, but it was censored. In the end when they kiss it was cut out because they were not married. This was 2002.
After this movie they showedTerminator 3 without cuts...
Some people have a very particular sense of humor, find very few things funny but when you tickle their sense if humor you get an uncontrollable explosion of laughter seen here with Sandi reaction to Alan's impersonation. David mitchell has it as well. Just search "David Mitchell: Laughter Explosion".
I watched this thinking about him losing it over the cuddle jumper lol
I love Josh Widdicombe, but he reminds me so much of Zippy in this.
I just love it when Alan goes off on one. He absolutely cracks me up. I wonder if he was like that in school? And yes. I agree. Sandi was definitely the right choice to host. 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
Josh: "I've never seen it [The Sound of Music]."
Susan: "You are sixteen, going on seventeen..."
Me, if I was Josh: "Nope, still haven't seen it."
Ian The transcript would read: "grrrn rrn srvrntrrn".
