Any episode where Stephen gets flustered in any kind of way is a good episode.
3:46 Adam Savage has pointed out that they made an error in that myth by using a white mouse. White mice aren't common in nature so the elephant may have reacted not because it was a mouse but because it was white and that was something it had never seen before.
Dara's advice saved me a trip to the urologist's when this first aired. I've wanted to meet him and tell him ever since.
To be honest I'm loving this "I don't remember this ep" and then 10-miuntes later realising "Oh yeah I do" vibe. It's just pure joy. Completely here for it. Also, I'm noticing we're getting steadily closer to my #` recommended ep. I'm gonna be so excited when it happens.
I found it adorable how you took part in the part where the panelists held pencils in their mouths
Lee Mack had a show a few years back called Duck Quacks Don’t Echo.
I love phil jupitus on qi, he loves to overtly flirt with Stephen to fluster him :)
Duck quacks don't echo is another show to check out. Lee Mack hosts it. They test out theories / fact check.
Here in NZ, it's paper, scissors, rock. I think it's got a nice rhythm to it
Yeah, this was a great one. Love the introduction of a totally different element. Really great dynamic with everyone.
I love how cheeky and flirtatious Phill Jupitus is, he comes across as everybody's friend.
In fact, the Impression that most panellists on these shows may well be personal friends is one of my favourite things about these British shows. They can be cheeky.and flirty, or really cutting, and you feel it's all ok. It makes for very comforting viewing.
QI is *usually* very reliable, positive fun. This was a particularly nice lineup. 🥰🥰
Your story about the severed tendon reminded me about how many physical issues humans can overcome, at least these days.
But then also how many things there are that medicine still doesn't understand or have has treatments for...
That contrast always astounds and saddens me.
Hey Neil, love Ur reactions. Plenty of great episodes of QI out there. One of my favorites is 'Nosey Noisey' with guest star Corey Taylor from Slipknot.
Aww! You gave away the surprise guest! :P
If I remember correctly, Alan and Jo know each other very well, and for a long time, since about mid 90s
I dont think ive ever seen you laugh so much 😊
I'm in the East Midlands and we always called it scissors, paper, stone growing up. Could be a regional thing?
Born and lived in Lincolnshire for most of my life and never heard it called that haha
It's always Rock Paper Scissors in Nottingham!
I was raised calling it Ching Chang Walla, though I call it rock paper scissors nowadays. Never even heard of rochambeau...
Apparently many countries have the paper scissors stone or paper scissors rock variation, where they throw the hand gesture on "rock" or "stone." Most people who do rock paper scissors throw the gesture on "shoot" afterwards. I think those differences have to do with the rhythm of the syllables and how it works in a sort of chant.
Half Dutch, eh? One of my favourite languages, with one of my favourite words. The onomatopoeia of “ontploffen” amuses me.
In Mandarin, the game is called stone scissors cloth (instead of paper)
The absolute disgust at Fry calling it "paper scissor stone" is hilarious to me, as a Swede.
In Sweden, it is called "rock scissor bag". How does paper do anything to a rock?
I like your channel so much Neil. Thankyou 🇬🇧
This was around the prime for QI IMO
Rock paper scissors for me in the south east of England.. this was a great episode sledge!
I'm from the South East and I had paper, scissors, stone
I'm telling you, watch "Quests: Part 1" and "Sideshows, Stunts, and Scavenger Hunts." Brilliant episodes.
I second quests part 1! I don't remember the other one though.
@@SilverEye91 it’s was Giles and Rosie Jones
@@samfisher6606 Ah! Giles is always great fun!
@@SilverEye91 but watch the episode. You’ll see why I recommended it as a Giles episode
I like to think that for the taping of this episode, they had an extra intern backstage, where s/he was instructed merely with "press this button whenever someone says 'fuck' "
It's definitely Rock Paper Scissors in the UK, Stephen has his own unique ideas sometimes!
I'm from the UK and it's always been Paper, Scissors, Stone my entire life. (Thinking about it, it also makes sense to me because it's in ascending order.)
@@lemonfreshrob What part of the UK?
@@RichardM-kv4uu All over it to be honest. Mainly south-eastern, but with midlands for a big chunk of my childhood too.
2:34 Rochambeau was a French nobleman and general whose army played the decisive role in helping the United States defeat the British army at Yorktown in 1781 during the American Revolution.
How is rock, paper, scissors called Rochambeau?
Roch would be french for Rock ?
@@highpath4776 so is the rest paper scissors? and is that coincidental for the name of a French general of significance to the war of independence?
Plus isn't the French "une pierre”, “un rocher”, “la roche”, “un caillou” and not interchangeable in use or definition?
So is this like German compound words?
All through elementary school, Rochambeau was the only name we had for that game. We never saw it written, just said it.
I think I always knew the game as Paper, Scissors, Stone as a kid (or Scissors, Paper, Stone), but refer to it as Rock, Paper, Scissors nowadays (maybe U.S. influence?). Never heard of Rochambeau before though… goggling it tells me it’s only really used in North America.
Rock is currently used in Australia. This could come from US TV shows.
Never heard anyone IRL call it anything other than Rock, Paper, Scissors. Maybe it's a southern thing?
My favorite: quartz, parchment, shears
My favourite variant is Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock. :)
paper scissors stone is just a Fry thing or maybe an upper class thing, all I know is I'm english and I've never heard it
It's all regional, but TV and film have probably standardised it more and more through the decades.
As someone growing up with English as my second language (now my first), the order rock, paper, scissors was weird. We did rock, scissors, paper. It doesn't flow as well in English, but it seems more intuitive to me to do them in the order they beat each other (and not in the order in which they're beaten by each other), and also makes more sense if you sign it (closed fist; two fingers out; open palm, as opposed to closed fist; open palm; two fingers out).
Also, paper is known as bag here (and apparently cloth in large parts of Asia, where the game of course originated)
Definitely regional or generational. Cornishman here and nowhere near upper class. I heard Paper Scissors Stone a lot when I was younger. Not so much these days though. But I’m also not in Cornwall these days either.
I'm English and I've heard a fair few variants in my time (including Fry's). Rock paper scissors was always the most common though
Brian Sewell was the Arts correspondent for the Evening Standard (and ITV). I met him at a car boot sale in aid of Christian Aid in Wimbledon Village - I think I might have sold him something that caught his interest
I love when Phil Jupitus asked “why should we believe the things you say…” because his own daughter later becomes a QI elf and helps come up with these ridiculous facts
What!? That's crazy and amazing! I need to look this up
@@ym10up It is true Emily Jupitus is QI elf.
@@scipioafricanus5871 that's such a dream job
I live in Scotland and always knew it as Rock, Paper, Sissors.
Sorry to irk you Sledge, but it was Paper, Scissors, Stone for me
I grew up with paper, scissors, stone.
Good reaction, Slegde. I think you forgot to edit a little bit out though
The story of the rabbi and the foreskins is an old but very funny Jewish joke, which incidentally hints at Stephen's own family heritage. (His episode of Who Do You Think You Are is definitely worth a watch if you can find it.)
It's always been paper scissors stone for me. I'd never heard of rock paper scissors until I came here and got loads of exposure to American English.
Where do you hail from? Without that information saying you used to do something different has no context.
@@daveofyorkshire301 South-east England.
@@drmikebass How is rock-paper-scissors American English?
_The game dates all the way back to the Chinese Han Dynasty (206BC)_
@@daveofyorkshire301 It was simply the impression I got based on my personal experience. I had never heard anyone saying "rock... " until I moved to this country and met a bunch of North Americans. Also, over the 24 years I've been here, I've noticed a number of Americanisms creeping into the British lexicon and becoming normalised.
I therefore assumed this was just another example, and since it wasn't Earth-shatteringly important, I didn't bother to investigate further... :-)
@@drmikebass You certainly know how to confuse. I asked where you hail from and you said South-east England, now you say "until I moved to this country"...
I look forward to your reactions to these older eps, almost more than I look forward to watching new eps now. I don't feel it's as funny as it used to be, nothing to do with Sandy, she's awesome, I think it was the regulars back then like Phil, Sean, Dara, Bill, Jo, Jimmy etc along with Alan, all knew each other so well and could just riff off one another seamlessly. I don't get as many off the laugh out loud moments anymore.
Your really asking for it with the wood splitting story 😂
it's funny how much paper scissors stone bothers you 😂
This was particularly harsh on Phil, being from Essex(fellow Essex lad💜😂) "I'm from Essex, we use the 'F' word like a comma" as he said on an episode of 'Alan Davies As Yet Untitled'.....👀😔😂😂💜
And yeh Phil's a legend Sledge🤷♂️👌😂
Rock, paper, scissors we use in our area 🇬🇧
Rock, Paper, scissors, or how ever you want to say it has never been called "roshambo". That's just a joke from South Park.
Janken is the proper word for it. The Chinese invented it so they get to name it. They call it Janken.
It's definitely Rock paper scissors.... but definitely not roshambo. That's kicking each other in the nuts until one person quits
Neil, an excellent ep is 'j-places'
I do diamond, vellum, scimitar...but I'm a bit posh.
You forgot to edit that part out, Sledge.
je bent half Nederlands? Dat is een verrassing! Spreek je de taal ook :P ?
2:30 Stephen F@cking Fry!
Hiya. I'm British. Of course it's Rock, Paper, Scissors. But I'm also an Old Git, does that make a difference? Stay safe. All the best to you.
Gothic is a good one.
Phil jupitus loves getting under Stephen's skin
Mythbusters also proved Duck quacks echo.

Why call anything anything? This game has a variety of names around the world. Looking just at the comments here so far, both names are known.
RPS will likely be the most known everywhere
Do you speak Dutch?
I can get the gist of a conversation that I'm listening to. I can say 'smakelijk eten' and sing the dutch birthday song. And that's unfortunately about it.
Only heard scissors paper stone from English people and for some reason it makes me cringe every time I hear it. I grew up in Scotland and always called in rock paper scissors.
Your version of the Sinatra hit wouldn't be so catchy
That's annoying me too, must be term used at Eaton. 🙂
@@Ffinity He went to prison, and you probably learn more universally useful stuff in prison than at fucking Eton xD
@@Ffinity ummm.... Ok? Sorry if they've said the same thing on the show. Not all of us have photographic memories, so maybe chill?
@@Ffinity I don't like to generalize, people are different. Now to refer you to my previous request to maybe chill just an eeny teeny bit? Getting salty over something trivial on the internet is so passe
@@Ffinity realized my spelling mistake. However, my point is it's probably a term used in certain circles as the 'by far' common term is Rock, Paper, Scissors. Thank you for the corrections all the same 🙂
@@Ffinity None taken 🙂
That joke about one muscle in the fingers "if you play your cards right" doesn't even make any sense. Or does it? Based on the laughter, I'm assuming that I'm missing something.
Think paper scissors stone is from Uber posh Stephen Fry world!
Don’t know what Stephen’s on about, I’ve always known it as Rock Paper Scissors.
The reason is because Stephen is posh
Meh. I’ve heard both a lot as a young one in the 80s. Might be generational? Or maybe regional? Like pile-on vs bundle?
I can't say I heard enough to have noticed
no sledging Sean
To be fair, Fry isn't saying correctly. It's supposed to be said as one word losing the last "s" on the scissors. Practise saying paper-scissors as one word. Then pracise saying scissor-stone as one word. Then combine it to saying paper-scissor-stone in one word.
Yep, paper scissors stone is something I would think of as Stephen Fry... Not even being posh, just being him.
I’ve never heard paper scissors stone. It has always been Rock Paper Scissors. It must be a Stephen thing 🤷♀️
Alphabetic and Stephen is a bit of a pedant, genius, but pedantic
PEOPLE CALL IT PAPER SCISSORS STONE. PEOPLE. GET OVER IT. Why the fuck would it be Rochambeau?
Scissors Paper Stone is what the game is called in Britain except those who think pretending to be American is "cool". Much like the nerve grating "Hi guys" now being whinnied down the nostrils of the same people. Incidentally, the capital punishment method called lapidation is also called stoning, not rocking.
Dude, can't you work out or don't you even know that many of the same games, shows, items, or whatever, are called different things on either side of the pond? It's common knowledge.
Your insistence on the American versions of rock, paper, scissors is NOT a good look. Do better or stop reacting to anything other than American programs.
Just an tip if you want to keep liking Sean Lock, skip the F-Future episode! I wasn't a big fan of his before that episode but after it I hated him with a passion!
Just rewatched. Loved Sean before. Still love him now. Terrific form. Thank you for reminding me of that ep.
