First time I tried American chocolate I genuinely thought something was wrong with the particular bar I picked up, it really does takes like vomit/bile
It’s such a great metaphor for America
@@andrewt836 🖕America is by no means perfect, nor is it "vomit." While yes, there are many countries I'd rather live in (mostly Western society), I'd still pick America over the rest of the world.
Me too! Not all of it mind you but when I first tried Hershey's nothing about it tasted like chocolate and it tasted like something I shan't name...
I totally agree with your frustration on the 'magnetic pole' question. I kind of wish David Mitchell had been there to inject some angry logic.
The final Concorde flight was October 24, 2003.
Don't worry if you can't hear that "mosquito alarm" it might just be your speakers/earbuds that can not play that high sound and you might not be going deaf. lol.
I'm so glad to know you appreciate Johnny Vegas. I've been accused of comedy snobbery at times (and I might be guilty) but Vegas is easily the most intelligent take on playing a village idiot I've ever seen and I absolutely adore him.
Edit: Also, while the QI audience is always very genuine and lovely, the Covid era episodes of QI is probably my favourite. There's something so wholesome about the atmosphere when they're almost alone in there.
It's...like you are at the table with them at a bar having a conversation...you're the 6th seat. Some jokes hit, some miss, and you don't have the 'crowd' to guide you one way or the other which is which! Though this episode was Rubbish (intended pun)...the next (?) one where they talk about canned laughter (with David Mitchell), is great!
No. a magnet always points north. Because opposite poles repel the magnetic north is the south pole.
Kind of wish they did more of these episodes without an audience. I liked the feel of it. On the other hand, i wouldn't want to take away the opportunity for fans to get to be in the audience
My favorite audienceless episode is Ridiculous
I agree.. This is one show that's just as awesome without the audience..
you need to check out the episode with bridget and James acaster haha. There's a moment in that episode is just soooo hilarious.
YES! It's QI XL Q15 - Quantity and Quality, also with Joe Lycett. There's a five-minute stretch in it that I watch as much as once a month just to cheer myself up.
When I was lad in my school physics class the teacher called the ends of a magnet North seeking and South seeking
Butyric acid is the molecule that was either used, or was a byproduct of preserving the shelf life of milk used in Hershey's Chocolate pre WW2. Hershey got a government contract to supply chocolate to US troops, while most European chocolate factories had swapped over to making war machinery. The US troops came out of the war loving the Hershey's chocolate taste, it was one of their only comfort foods and a small luxury in life. Indeed men all over the Allied world resented the US troops for having access to chocolate with which to woo women, most other people or troops couldn't get ahold of any.
Despite modern technology and food processing making butyric acid obsolete for preserving chocolate, the taste has maintained a stranglehold on the US population as 'what chocolate should taste like'. Butyric acid is naturally found in parmesan cheese, vomit, and particularly high concentrations in babies' vomit. Most international people despise the taste of USAmerican chocolate, usually finding it actively revolting.
Last concorde flight was early 2000s, went over my school.
There was then a concorde out in the open on a private runway until about 10 years ago when the area got marked for housing
There was some link from concorde to bristol (where I live), think it's where the engines were made but not 100% sure
You should try the most recent XL they just put out. It’s called “Sideshows, Stunts, & Scavenger Hunts.” Giles Brandreth and Rosie Jones make the most unlikely of pairs.
I second this recommendation.
👍
Really pleased you are enjoying this journey, thank you for your posts 👍😀🇬🇧
Concorde started service in 1976 (first flight 1969) and ended in 2003... I must admit the end of Concorde feels far more recent to me, it's hard to believe it's so long ago it ended service.
I was living in Bristol at the time and there was a crowd of people gathered to be watch the last flight of Concorde Alpha Foxtrot . It flew over Clifton Suspension Bridge on its way to Filton Airfield where it was built.
Concorde started in 69,they didn't retire it until 2003
Concorde was retired in 2003. I was present at its final flight to Filton in Bristol!
What's that rattle snake sound with every jumpcut?
The Concorde was retired in the 2000's after a drunk Frenchman crashed one :(
Compasses are not labeled wrong... Magnets are not labeled wrong. Earth is labeled wrong. Maget's work on the direction of the stuff inside them. They all point one way. That way is what we call north because it points north according to our maps. North on a magnet points to magnetic south which is in the north. One of those things that was easier to just leave be rather than the huge fortune it would cost to change everything, lol
Yeah American chocolate is horrible to most people outside America lol
If your looked for a uk sitcom to try good I suggest 'Spaced', it's a Simon Pegg and Nick Frost comedy and there will be loads or guest stars you'll recognise like Bill Bailey
Another great reaction to one of my favourite shows. By the way, the pop can pull tabs are still collected here in St. John's, NL (and by people all over the province) and donated to the local Ronald McDonald House. I have no idea how they turn them into money, but they gratefully accept the donations. Cheers!
It wouldn’t only “dampen the mood”, it’d also dampen the toaster! 😜
IIRC, they did 2-3 shows without audiences, and then with strict guidelines shot some more episodes after a break and reconfigure with audience 'clumps' (Restaurants being one of them, set up Cabaret style). And using 2 separated studios instead of one to get the numbers higher. Other 'live' shows did similar things like "The Last Leg" and "Have I Got News For You", but more with a Zoom audience visible to the cast instead of in-person. Richard Osman's "House of Games" went a different route, it was always a small audience, but they moved shooting to Glasgow (I think), which had less restrictions while shooting and did something like 2 or 3 series at once (2 regular, and one 'special'). Interesting to see how they each adapted to all of the changes...
Richard Osman's House of Games has never had an audience.
@@jeffrey44 Apologies, I meant the invited audience for HoG special eps only...
Blue Whale estimates (quickly googled) seem to be 350k pre-whaling boom population, with about 10k remaining today, although numbers seem to slowly be increasing in the last 10 years at a quick glance
I love this show..
I love your channel..
Perfect combo hit
And what's more perfect than having Bridget 😁 my kinda crazy personality
For British sitcoms I recommend Black Books. It has Bill Bailey :)
I know Concorde was in use in 1985 because it enabled Phil Collins to perform at both the London and Philadelphia Live Aid shows
Bet that cost a lot !
Obviously BA donated the seat.
When they were talking about 500K whales I took that to mean total of all whales worldwide rather than just blue.
I was once caught speeding and I had to go to a meeting where there was about 15 of us being told the dangerous of speeding and stuff. I was a professional driver at that point so I answered all the questions correctly about the laws and what road markings mean and stuff like that. I was about 35 years old at the time and surprisingly I was the youngest person there by a long way. The person giving the lecture went and asked everyone why they were speeding. Most people said they were unfamiliar with the road and didn't realise it went from a 40mph road to a 30mph road. When they asked me why I was speeding I said "because it's fun". lol. They then said "would it be fun if I killed a person?" I said "maybe if it was you". Which made everyone in the room laugh. I went on to say that I'd been driving around 1000 miles a week since I was 21 and I constantly drive over the speed limit and only once have I ever been caught. No crashes no fatalities not even 1 close call. So either I'm a driving god or the drastically outdated speed laws need revising. Which got a bit of a cheer and a few claps. That made the woman giving us the lecture really angry. Hhaha
I wouldn't say American chocolate taste like puke per say, it just tastes like the milk has gone off before making it which is basically also how the process works. I remember I was in a shopping mall in Santa Clara right around Valentine's Day on my first visit to the US and they were handing out Hersay's Kisses. So I took one and immediately spat it out, completely involuntary, I literally couldn't help myself. You probably all know that feeling when you get something in your mouth that you know is not supposed to be there and you try and get rid of it. So I asked the poor girl, rather agitated why she was handing out what I assumed was chocolate that had gone way past it's sell buy date. She was obviously completely baffled, so I asked her to taste one, and she said it was completely fine. I then tried another. I didn't immediately spit it out this time but noticed the flavour of the gone off milk. Put it back in it's wrapper, and told the girl that she really had to taste real chocolate some day and then she'd never go back. When I got back to the airbnb I looked it up and found out they use butyric acid in most American chocolate.
Agreed. It contains one of the chemicals that give vomit its distinctive taste, that doesn't make it taste like vomit unless you're particularily sensitive to that chemical. Just like some cheese smells remind you of foot odour but they're definitely not the same.
Concorde was retired in 2003... seems about ten minutes ago to me.
Yep.
When I first came to America (Orlando, Florida in April 2013 to be precise) on holiday/vacation with family, me and my Dad loved chocolate and we were eager to try Hershey Chocolate.
We bought a bar, stuck it in our mouths and were instantly repulsed. The stuff was vile, and now I know why.
The only good Hershey bar is Cookies and Cream, although I think that might just be one made for the British market as it tastes amazing and not like vomit. 😂🤢
Neil!!! You have got to watch QI XL Series N Episode 1: Naming names! It's one of the best episodes (imo that is haha 😅) If you still haven't of course 😊
Hershey’s chocolate is the devil’s food!
Peep Show and The Inbetweeners would be my top UK sitcoms to recommend!
It was very jarring watching this when broadcast, it makes for a more intimate watch, like their all just having a casual conversation, without the audience being present as either a distraction or to bounce jokes off of. This was the vibe for most of our shows during lockdown.
We are overdue a pole flip i believe
Well, I admit, Hershey bars - the milk chocolate ones - are disgusting... yes, like vomit. But American made Reese's, Snickers, Kit Kat... they're all delicious.
im from Bristol in jolly England, and you can go visit the concorde there.. never have, nor the SS great britian
Bee inside one, possibly Yeovil Fleet Air Arm's museum.
I'm Six foot four and wide with it think Brian Blessed and I was doubled over doubt I'd have got out a seat without a crane 😂
Is there an air-moisturiser, or whatever it's called, going in the background in your recent videos? Very strange noise.
Construction in the building, I'm afraid. I tried to filter it out as much as possible, but sadly I'm not an audio engineer. Apologies.
@@NeilTalks No worries.
QI R - revolutions?
You should watch series M episode 2 “military matters” it has Carr and Clarkson
Welcome to QI addiction 😇😘😇
I dunno what is going on in your background but it sounds kinda like someone sucking on a bong every 3 seconds 🤣
Well I’m an American and I don’t like chocolate 🍫 so maybe that explains it.
There are plenty of one off guests --- including the lead singer of Slipknot.
Who was more enjoyable than some of the comedians on the show.
I’m not 100% sure but I think most of this series was recorded before COVID arrived and these ones without restrictions between the guest was because it was filmed before the uk government officially went into lockdown and restrictions went into place.
And yes, American chocolate especially Hershey’s tastes like vomit 🤮
Look up butyric acid it how you treat your milk and why US chocolate is revolting... Thank Hershey for that...
Adam Ragusea has an excellent video on that.
There are 10,000- 25,000 blue whales on the planet according to a google search.
What's the swishing noise?
I'm probably the only one complaining, but I tried ignoring it but i just can't what's the noise every 1/2 seconds sounds like someone spinning a wheel
its like nails on a chalkboard to me & its just constant
Same here. Its on all of his vids recently. Sounds like an air purifier
Didn't the French planes have Concord and UK had Concorde on them ?
Talking of the the history of England and the UK it always says when the Romans invaded and the Vikings invaded. Not entirely accurate. It was really an 'invasion' as we know it. Sure they came over and locals would try and fight them off protecting their land or what ever. But most of the time is was a peaceful integration. Sure there were rebellions and towns that stood fast trying to fend them off. But the Romans and Vikings brought more good than bad so it depends on where you were at the time and what you'd call invasion.
You should check out YT vid - 'Why Europeans Hate the Taste of American Chocolate'
After the Danes settled in Britain their hygiene might have come into play. But the raping and pillaging, yeah that was a thing and clean hair wasn't an issue.
Unfortunately only 10-25thousand blue whales left apparently 😪
Hershey's is vile, its the aftertaste of American chocolate which has the vomit like flavour to me. No other chocolate from any other nation has been like it that I've tried lol
Yes. American chocolate tastes vile.
darth vader is back!
we can still hear you breathing Neil :P
nice to know ur alive but its kinda annoying XD
Imagine how I feel about the constant construction in my building.
You got Darth Vader in the background or something?
Yes, WeirdGuy. I do.
It's very bitter and bile-y for sure. American chocolate is vile. You should definitely try some British/Belgian chocolate your mind will be blown away
I quite liked it without the audience. There is a certain intimacy I loved about it.
With sitcoms I agree. With panel shows it's eery
Sitcoms:
Only when I Laugh
Are You Being Served
it Ain't Half Hot Mum
Love Thy Neighbour (very contentious these days)
et al
I can't be the only person to notice that annoying noise that plays every few seconds, usually after a cut?
Was so weird to watch with no audience.
what is that whooshing sound every 5 to 10 seconds, it is so damn annoying......paused the video for about 1 minute, the whooshing stopped .....had to stop watching the video
Not sure why this was recommended...
