Alan is correct about the triple negative, it's two question. Yes or no are both valid, but the correct answer is "I do" because yes or no both require an agreement between the questioner and the responder regarding what the first "not" implies the intent of the question is. In any scenario you have to agree on the intent of the "don't" - but because "don't you" is a ubiquitous colloquial form of "do you", "I do" is the only answer both parties are likely to agree on.
Gyles is absolutely hilarious in his additions whenever he is on. Add Jimmy to that and it becomes dynamite!! 😂😂 Great episode!! 25:23 Sandi's devious laugh😂 I once had a doctor named Doctor Dong 🤷♀️😳 truth😊
But Bono does have a surname: Vox. And Larry Mullen Jr had to add the Jr to his name because when U2 started to become successful his father of the same name started to receive tax bills intended for him. Thought this was a Quite Interesting fact. So there.
22:50 ... Drop a Penny off of the Empre State building ... ( terminal velocity is 32.2 feet per second (( a penny is NOT large enough to cause any damage )) )
Put a penny in orbit. Trust me, size does not matter. The problem is the wind causes it to wobble and at that point it becomes a heavy leaf. The mass of a penny shaped correctly could absolutely crater the pavement.
Brandreth alwas makes these claims about the english language having the most words. Even ignoring the fact that 60% are copy&paste from latin, that's a wild claim.
But why did the mathematicians decide that English had to be multiplicative instead of additive? If someone says, "I don't want no peas!", they obviously mean "I don't want any peas". That's additive and normal. So why is English so weird? I think it's to confuse immigrants.
About the unfortunate name on the internet... I had a colleague who had her name rejected when registering for an account because it was deemed to be fake. Her name: Comfort Cover (she pronounced her last name as COVE-er). She joked that the site probably thought that was her porn name!😆
Coren Mitchell can shut up about role-models for women when she said Jacob Rees-Mogg is attractive. I lost all respect for her when I heard her say that on Have I got News for you?
The only problem with that is you fail to understand the reason why she would say such a thing. It isn't always about how a man looks to a woman. It is about money and power. Attraction is NOT always about how a man looks. How else could you explain the always unkempt Boris Johnson ever getting a woman? 😉
@@SpeccyMan That's entirely my point. JRM isn't an ugly-looking man, but he's a repulsive human being and anyone who knows anything about him and still finds him attractive is not the kind of person I can respect.

Why is there NOTHING on American TV this funny? Alan is HILARIOUS.
Any day I get to see VCM is a good day

Alan: I'm trying to filibuster!
Me: WHICH IS WHY YOU NEED TO LET GYLES SPEAK
I love it when Gyles is on!
One of the best panels ever: Mr. Tax Avoidence, Mr. Anecdote, and Old Goosebump Arm.
Old goosebump.arm.and Jonathan Creek had the whole double negative double down on masktasker two.
I'm now imagining Gyles on Taskmaster, launching into an anecdote and running out of time before even starting the task.
@@Hardbody217 That's my dream!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Old goosebump arm had me laughing out loud. I hadn’t thought of her complete disdain for all tasks in too long. Might need to do a rewatch
The best panel imaginable.
Gyles is one of those people I’m sure I would find completely unbearable in real life, but I adore him on TV.
Gyles is absolutely hilarious in his additions whenever he is on. Add Jimmy to that and it becomes dynamite!! 😂😂 Great episode!! 25:23 Sandi's devious laugh😂 I once had a doctor named Doctor Dong 🤷♀️😳 truth😊
I love Gyles' stories. I would pay good money for the out takes of this show to hear them.
I don't know if UA-cam could support a video that long
Listen to his podcast with Susie Dent if you haven’t already; There’s No Such Thing As Purple. Lots of brilliant stories in there
You haven't even paid to watch this...
@@BlackRosesSmellSweeter It's something rhymes with purple.
YES! THIS! WANT!
Gyles "whenever your confused let's turn it into another language because that's easier" smash cut to Jimmy carr looking absolutely lost
Gyles is the best!! Love him!!!
18:36 I love this idea. 🤣 I need this product, but since I live in an apartment, maybe for all the rooms in the house. 🤭
this is a very good episode
Thank you Binge... keep them coming ... love QI :o)
In just had a brain exercise in this episode, thank you!
I love this show Qixl. It's the greatest idea. Do I not not want some points or not? Yes I do
Love Sandy!!!
QI please make a UA-cam Short of Jimmy getting the Up Where klaxon and Sandi cackling.. around 25:03
Giles is epic
Not bad for a Tory
Hes an insufferable bore. Knowing things is fine, being able to communicate those things is essential, and he DOESN'T.
9:37 They got Aladdin to do his job? I thought nobody knew his name?
Dang! You shoulda been on the show!!!
But Bono does have a surname: Vox.
And Larry Mullen Jr had to add the Jr to his name because when U2 started to become successful his father of the same name started to receive tax bills intended for him. Thought this was a Quite Interesting fact. So there.
Bono Vox? That sounds like a voice changer service.
@@InservioLetum Better! He got the name from an Italian ad for hearing aids.
Gyles what a legend.
Never knew he was so funny and interesting.
What about him and Stephen on at the same time EPIC
Stephen actually had him on several times, and those episodes really are a marvel.
I miss Stephen so very much....
I hade to go to the second page of results in the Urban Dictionary to get the “bridge” reference.
But the different sections of the "Eye of Horus" WERE used in a commonplace setting, as numerals, right?
I believe the .99 price is accredited to a famous shoe factory owner "Baťa"
It's called Bata pricing
17:31 makes me very happy ❤❤❤
Gyles 🏅😂🏅😂🏅😂
Paul David Hewson is Bono's&he must use it all the time
Why do my Watch Later videos from this channel always disappear? 😢
Because they delete these on a regular basis
22:50 ... Drop a Penny off of the Empre State building ... ( terminal velocity is 32.2 feet per second (( a penny is NOT large enough to cause any damage )) )

Yeah. Right.
Then theres the double positive being a negative...
Aye right!
I'm Gay, I LOVE VCM. Gurl is HARD, smart and a quick wit. David's a LUCKY Man.
oh yeah, she's easy on the eyes too , yeah quality innit. LOL !!!!
I'm not,... a lesbian I mean. And she is absolutely beautiful. The first day she was on WILTY I thought it was just adorable😊❤

The'Stars'all must use their middle class surnames ie-sher Bono or her last one🤭

So why is English so weird? I think it's to confuse immigrants.
9:38 - NOBODY laughed? Seriously??
It _was_ rather a weak line, come on.
Internet sites: Big bus tycoons...
Care to explain that one?
It's hardly obscure.
About the unfortunate name on the internet... I had a colleague who had her name rejected when registering for an account because it was deemed to be fake. Her name: Comfort Cover (she pronounced her last name as COVE-er). She joked that the site probably thought that was her porn name!😆
Gyles Brandreth wrecks every episode hes on. Such a tedious bore.
Sounds to me like you have been overruled. Go watch something you can enjoy, like... porn😂
He speaks so highly of you.
Coren Mitchell can shut up about role-models for women when she said Jacob Rees-Mogg is attractive. I lost all respect for her when I heard her say that on Have I got News for you?
Shurely a joke....no?

CLEARLY a joke.
@@thisravenhasflown010 Yes. Pretti Patel for instance. She is good looking, but she's also scum, so I don't find her attractive.

Gosh imagine Victoria and David having a daughter. That would be one VERY neurotic, but HYSTERICALLY funny child.
Their second daughter was born a few months ago.
@@donnahighley2940 **EXCITED** Thank you for telling me!! :D
@@InservioLetum and her third was born last Tuesday
