Check out "the incident at bamber bridge",it's the story of black soldiers being welcomed by the residents of the English town of Bamber Bridge and how the Brits stood toe to toe with black American GIs against their white counterparts,when told by the American top brass that the pubs would have to follow the segregation laws imposed in America,the pubs put signs in their windows which read "black troops only",an early-ish example of "don't tell an Englishman who he can and cannot have a drink with",I've watched it several times and it makes me even more proud to be British
@silverfoxeater you'll find incidents like Bamber Bridge were happening all over England during WWII,there were numerous street fights between Joe publicand the white GIs (and of course I realise not 100% of England was as welcoming,that goes without saying,it's human nature)
@silverfoxeater This was more prevalent in the 60's, when an influx of immigrants were wrongly perceived to be 'taking over' the UK, despite the fact they were invited, not during the war, my father was a Romany and I clearly recall 'No Gypsies' signs...even then, we have never had true segregation .
I think the views changed post WWII.
During, they were on our side, willing to fight to save our sovereignty. They were our brothers in arms.
After the war, in places all over the UK, such as Cardiff Bay (see the Tiger Bay riots...), our boys came back to find West Indians in their jobs and homes, with their wives. Understandably, they were not happy with these black fellows "coming over 'ere..." etc.
@@bucklberryreturns maybe but my comment was about how the black GIs were treated at Bamber Bridge and numerous other places in England DURING the war (I've just realised I sound like uncle Albert from ofah, DURING the war)not post war, anyway have a good weekend
@@BobbierocksBuster1415 I wasn't judging your comment as ill informed or anything, just adding additional information is all.
In accordance with the show being watched 👍🏻
If you don't know Robert webb you should watch his sketch shows with David Mitchell, "The Mitchell and Webb Situation" and "That Mitchell and Webb Look" both really great and really funny!
Also Peep show and back
David Mitchell and Robert Webb make up one of the finest comedy duos of all time! I've watched both those shows more times than I can remember. I hope Neil gets to them at some point!
I've been hoping Neil would get to That Mitchell & Webb look. I've seen lots of reactions on UA-cam but people tend to go for individual sketches which are very short. I suppose there could be issues with full episodes. That would be a shame because they are very, very good.
Sir Digby Chicken Caesar!
I always felt, for the most part, their sketch show was a bit forced. Then again, many are. Monty Python's Flying Circus was very hit and miss.
Peep Show on the other hand, a classic British sitcom.
Robert Webb's 'comedy partner' is David Mitchell from WILTY
Any QI episode with Gyles Brandreth are always hilarious due to his repertoire of anecdotes. Especially the episodes of when he's paired up with Jimmy Carr to reel Gyles in and bring the conversation back with a few well-timed innuendoes are especially good ones to me.
Really?? I can't stand Gyles, an insufferable buffoon in my opinion. Well, glad to know others do enjoy his endless self aggrandisement.
@@maxytwist Me neither. Just insufferable. Prattles on and on. I always skip his episodes. For me, easily the worst QI guest, tied with Rory McGrath, Vic Reeves and Nina Conti
I hate Gyles.
Have to echo the other replies. He's pretentious, unfunny bore and a disgusting creep too.
Gyles Brandreth had a contest with Nicholas Parsons (Just a Minute host)... they both spoke for over 11 hours.
I like how during the Stephen for Pope question, Alan's first answer was "mass suggestion" and nobody (including Alan) picked up on the joke.
This is a fantastic episode. I would also suggest the episode in season K called Keys. Featuring Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey and Isy Suttie.
I'd love to see the XL version of that. The regular-length one was fun, but I felt like something was missing.
I chuckled at you chuckling, at this one! It always feels like I'm watching TV with a friend in the room! Great content!
I think that's the reason reaction channels tend to do well. It fills that void of wanting to show your friends TV shows that you love when your friends won't watch them with you.
The part about Judas Priest was wrong. The song wasn't called "Suicide Solution", it was the song "Better By You, Better Than Me" from the Stained Class album that led to them being sued.
Suicide Solution was an Ozzy Osbourne song, written about the dangers of alcohol abuse, hence the name. It's a song that also led Ozzy into a courtroom because another teenage boy killed himself after listening to the song.
Just thought I'd clear that up. Not everything said on QI is accurate 😆
Certainly a lot of things said by Phil Jupitus aren't accurate.
Neil: “You can tell I’m not a farmer”. … Not by the way you dress. 🤣
That's just my government issued Canadian citizen uniform.
It actually happened to me. The brain remembered something I´d read years before that when a car was about to run me over. From around the corner came a car and I was just in the middle of the road and I knew there was no time and it was going to hit me. And in the split of a second I remembered I´d read in a book that you should not be standing on the ground, you should jump up or something. I did sort of jumped onto the bonnet and rolled across the windshield. I ended up hanging off the side mirror, a hole in my jacket, just really nicely hanging there... (It was a book about people who survived plane crashes and stuff :). So I would have a chance even in a plane crash :)
Phil Jupitus' daughter Emily is actually one of the QI Elves, since 2018.
That's a hell of a way to rebel against your father!
I believe that is true about the anxiety of pain. If you think about it, everyone has, at some point in their life, cut themselves without knowing. But as soon as we see the cut, it starts hurting.
Robert Webb & David Mitchell are one of the funniest British duos, I can't believe you've never heard of RW after seeing so much of DM. I'm sure many have suggested this already but Mitchell & Webb show is available to react to on UA-cam but most importantly I recommend you watching Peep Show in your own time, it's the best comedie series I've ever seen.
Are we the baddies? lol
I'm so glad you reacted to this. Phil Jupitus is especially hilarious in this episode
phils greatest hour. That is "which moon are we talking about" territory.
The "Lumped Together" episode is pretty good fun - also has Ronnie Ancona in it along with Jimmy Carr and David Mitchell... and also one of the episodes I was in the audience for!
A thumb for being in the audience 👍🏻
The guy on the right is Robert Webb, he’s best known for his comedy work with David Mitchell. It’s worth checking out their “odd couple” sitcom called Peep Show, about two flat mates, the repressed and socially awkward Mark (Mitchell) and the free spirit and wannabe musician Jeremy (Webb). They also made a sketch comedy show called That Mitchell & Webb Look, you may have seen a scene that went viral where they play two WW2 German soldiers, where Mitchell’s character questions why their uniforms have a skull insignia on them, before asking “are we the baddies?”
I have my dental work done using self hypnosis, as local anaesthetic doesn't work on me and makes me feel ill. I went to see a Hypnotist who taught me how to do it on myself - It actually works!
What. You hypnotize yourself to handle pain better.
Woah that's fantastic
@@basquat76 Yes, it really does work. My eldest daughter also used the technique when she gave birth. I had quite a deep filling done a few years ago and used it. I used to be a dental nurse and thought I would really suffer, but it was great. And I had no sore mouth after and none of the 'normal' ill effects I used to get with anaesthetic - headache/sickness etc.
jf you've seen would i lie to you this sounds like something bob mortimer would do
@@Kari_B61ex How do you get yourself out of hypnotism again?
This sounds like some serious mental gymnastics you have to do.
I'm glad you seem to enjoy Phill Jupitus on his QI appearances. He seems to get some hate in comment sections and I can't figure out why, he's been one of the most consistently funny QI quests in the show's history.
Unsuprisingly he does stand-up, too. Some wonderful bits of those include his one-anecdote segment on Live At The Apollo series 8 episode 3, and his early 2000s routine about the lions of the London Zoo.
And to top off the cake known as Phill Jupitus with a delicious cherry - he does the best Eddie Izzard impersonation on the planet :D
Oh, addendum: Phill is an arachnophobic and he's parlayed that into a peeing-your-pants funny stand-up routine that used to be on youtube but I can't find it anywhere anymore. Definitely up there with the aforementioned Lions of the London Zoo moment
Robert Webb is long time friend and comedy partner of David Mitchel.
You laughing at Phil's Dutch accent reminded me of Jan Hankl's patented flank pat system.
Robert Webb is great in 'The Smoking Room'. A wonderful and criminally underrated British sit-com
Ronnia Ancona was a very funny show called the Sketch show in the nineties(with a couple of well known taskmaster-faces). Some really classic sketches. Check it out.
I derive much joy from watching Steven stroke his Lobster!
The setting sun segment is one of my all-time favourite TV moments.
I enjoy your QI reaction videos, largely because I share the same sense of humor and adore QI. Please keep up the great work.
It is true that you can control levels of pain with brain power.
Pain is how your brain interprets signals of stimuli, it also passes through the part of the brain that processes emotion, so if you can retrain the brain (through therapy .etc) you can stop the brain from receiving some of the signals as pain. (eg. Some mental health conditions and conditions that effect he nerves can cause false pain signals, so the pain sometimes can literally be “in your head”)
Robert Webb was in a great partnership with David Mitchell for different sketch shows and sitcoms. Should check out some of their skits, "are we the baddies" is one of my faves
Robert Webb is David Mitchell’s comedy partner ‘Mitchell and Webb’
Phill's birth name was Phillip Swan but he took his stepfather name which was Lithuanian
Robert Webb was David Mitchell's comedy partner. As well as 'Mitchell and Webb' they also did Peep Show together. Ronni Ancona is always great on QI. She's an impressionist, actor and comedian.
Season O episode ‘Ologies is hilarious. Phil Jupitus, Bill Bailey and Claudia Winkleman with Sandi. Alan and Bill are the dream team imo.
If you haven't seen it, I think you would appreciate the film The Death of Stalin. I feel you'll appreciate the biting, British satirical humour, and I believe the historical accuracy is mostly highly regarded.
Phil Jupitus is incorrect regarding the Judas Priest song. It's not called "Suicide Solution". That's a song by Ozzy Osbourne. The Judas Priest song is called "Better By You, Better Than Me". And it's a cover song. The original artist is the band Spooky Tooth.
I don't have a hard time imagining that you can relieve a lot of the pain by remving the anxiety.
when you break bones, get cut, etc. you mostly go numb anyways.
Great reaction PLUS you knew more about hysteria than the three contestants who didn't have a gynaecologist as a close friend! You do very well at this and apology was completely unnecessary. Keep up the brilliant content.
By the video's frame rate, 'Stephen Fry for Pope' was up for 26 bloody frames, lol.
Crazy you aren't acquainted with Robert Webb yet! Robert Webb has been David Mitchell's comedy partner since they were at university together. He's honestly not that suited for these panel shows but he is amazing in sketches and sitcoms. Please do yourself a favor and watch Peep Show already!! (As a director you'll certainly appreciate their innovative shooting style. It's quite unique.)
You may find the heroes among us: battle of Bamber Bridge video very interesting, It was when Americans tried to imposed segregation on the village of Bamber after they found black GI's were more than welcomed at the three village pubs and sent Americans MP's in, I won't spoil the events If you were ever to watch it, but it really opens your eyes to the cultural different at the time
Part of me would love to suggest starting from series 1 of QI (and WILTY) to see how the show has evolved. But if I had to choose 1 episode it would be the one with Teri Hatcher.
Another great QI reaction. Ronnie Anconna is a comedy actress and Robert Webb is best known for the sitcom, The Peep Show also starring David Mitchell. One of my favourites i hope you get around to is Jeopardy from series J.
Suicide Solution was the Ozzy song that was the centre of controversy. The Priest song was Better by You Better than Me.
Robert Webb - comedy partner with David Mitchell - your favourite from WILTY and the man who married the love of your life!! lol
24:45 this was a great premonition
18:11 where do you think they got the idea for Pirates of the Caribbean from?
10 points to anyone who gets it 😂
Ronni Ancona is a brilliant, Scottish impressionist
08:50 your life flashing before your eyes, only yesterday a man dying had his brain scanned and it showed a lot of activity at the point of death. Can't link story on here but you can google it.
Webb is the 2nd half of David Mitchells "Mitchell and Webb". A really funny "scotch show" u might want to check out.
With all due respect to the 'current situation', part of the problem with war is no-one gets beaten for very long, so a new war has to start.
Long day Neil?
Falling asleep in the middle there.
I'm just teasing
😉
You have seen some of David Mitchell, right? But don't know who Robert Webb is? It's like a whole other dimension of Mitchell.
I'm kind of envious that you can enjoy that from the start.
Go check out That Mitchell and Webb Look (2006-2010). Well, you should watch The Mitchell and Webb Situation (2001) and Peep Show (2003-2015) too with them. They are fantastic together.
David Mitchell and Robert Webb's sketch shows were the very best in my opinion, I usually don't like those kind of shows, but they nailed it. However, you must watch 'Peep Show', their sitcom. It is really unique, I think you'll get a kick out of the concept and how it's filmed, also, it's bloody hilarious.
As other have said Robert Webb was David Mitchell's double act partner. Would heartily recommend the Brain Surgeon sketch :-)
Hey Dude! Did i see you almost nod off at 10 minutes in,maybe have some power naps. Or maybe this show had you hypnotised! 😃
I was feeling sleepy... very very sleepy...
Happens to us all!
When US Army Commanders demanded segregation in Bamber Bridge Lancashire all 3 pubs erected signs saying (black US Troops Only). This led to The Bamber Bridge Incident with 1 death.
Definately check out Mitchell and Webb and Peep Show - even if not for content.
Ronni Ancona is an impressionist and actress
The Finns didn't win the war against the Soviet Union. They managed to inflict very heavy losses on the incompetently led and poorly prepared* Soviet forces, both in the Winter War of 39-40 and in the so called Continuation War of 41-44. In both cases the Soviets eventually managed to overwhelm the Finns, and Finland had to make concessions to the Soviet Union in the resulting peace deals. But importantly, the Finns did manage to maintain their independence, which could be considered to be what really mattered in the long run.
*mainly in the Winter War
Series G episode 7 is another good one, IMO.
Oh you have to watch Mitchell and Webb. Robert Webb is David Mitchell’s comedy partner
imo, the 'fry/davis' years were/are the greatest celebration of 'wit' in media
Finland didn't beat the Soviets. They put up a great fight but eventually had to surrender and give up land... however, the Soviets decided against total annexation so as to maintain a neutral neighbouring state as a buffer.
The squeaking laugh got me hard
today, we just use Hypnodancer
would recommend series O - ologies with bill bailey claudia winkleman & phill jupitus
I hope you can react to the episode Flotsam and Jetsam, it is one of my favourite episodes!
24:45 They beat the Swedish Empire in the battle of Poltava, 1709, and they seriously brag about it still (they as in politicians).
I believe they considered doing an American version of the show many years ago but it didn't turn out to be viable. If I remember correctly, it was due to different laws on how to use clips/stills/sounds.....and that's a major part of the format.
I would like to recommend any Stephen-era episode with Johnny Vegas ("Figth or Fligth" or "Geometry" etc.) and as already said in comments, any episode with Gyles Brandreth.
About the Black US troops in England in WW2. You should look up a video about Bamber Bridge. The White US leaders told the English that they must not mix with the Black US troops. So this one town, Bamber Bridge made all 3 of their pubs "Black troops only". Obviously the White US Colonels didn't like this passive aggressive joke the English were playing and they caused a full on battle. You should just search "the battle of Bamber Bridge"...
I would highly recommend some episodes from R series
Rich Hall is usually really good (for an American😄)
Rewatching this a couple days after the 1st anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Neil: not well.
14:40 Don't you dare take Skinner from us, Stephen! Freud, definitely. Jung, sure. But Skinner is ours!
//Psychologist
Look up the incident known as "The Battle of Bamber Bridge" not the best example of American humanity, several were hurt or died...
Re-WW2 segregation, you should see The Battle of Bamber Bridge. For Robert Webb you should see some Mitchell and Webb sketches-him and David.
Superstitious pigeons are rather famous. I mostly know Skinner from his theories of child language acquisition.
Thanks for the enjoyable moments of light-hearted fun, but I have to say my thoughts, love and support at this time are with the people of Ukraine.
Series g, episode 6 is a really good one
Not subliminal advertising per se, but I remember back in the day in the UK there was an advert for Neutralia shower gel in which you saw a very attractive young lady showering, in an adverty way, and you could see her nipple. Anyway, one day while I was shopping something in my peripheral vision caught my subconscious' eye and I instinctively snapped my head around to see what it was -- and it was a display of Neutralia products.
Look for the 'Peeps Show' Mitchel and Webb
You mentioned osmosis, didn't they sing Crazy Horses. They were a Mormon family with Donny and Marie Osmosis.
You are getting mixed up, they sang Don't Look Back In Anger.
Lol
What happened there at 9:55?
You don't know Robert Webb? He's David Mitchel comedy duo partner.
You really need to start doing reactions to anything Mitchell & Webb like "That Mitchell and Webb look" or "That Mitchell and Webb Situation".
24:44
yikes, indeed
You should watch Peep Show!
It's just "Ukraine", not "The Ukraine". The "the" is a holdover from the USSR days where "the Ukraine" was a subservient region.
Ukraine has been an independent nation since 1991.
Watching these with you is the closest thing I get to having a boyfriend.
QI eating episode you should do
tbf the Americans don't exactly have an amazing track record in wars either lmao, and they've had the best military in the world since ww2
Military history is sort of the ultimate instance of home-field advantage. You mentioned Russia's Military history, and their poor results in many wars. What are the two greatest Russian victories we in the West know of? Repelling invaders. First Napoleon in Moscow, then the Nazis in Stalingrad. Afghanistan, neither of the two major military powers in the world could make any headway when they tried. Colonial oveethrows throughout history apply such principles, which is why so few parts of the world are still unwilling colonies of other states. And it's why the successes of the Ukranian invasion have been limited and stunted so far. The people who fight to claim their homeland are always going to have better odds than the people who fight to claim someone else's homeland. Not a sure thing, but better odds.
Hahah I laugh at the tv when the tv goes Hahahah i is a twat
Still think a large part of the reason Russia beat Germany was the German winter rather than Russian military skill.
You mean the Russian winter.
@@elemar5 I do. I had originally typed Russian winter but the sentence was a mess. Looks like I goofed up even more re-writing it haha
Aw man, if there ever was a time to react to Peep Show…
Haven't you seen PeepShow?
nobody has ever done well in Afghanistan ;)
You are a bit straight on in this vid, prefered when you were watching to one side.
Neil, the Russia-Ukraine thing is already happening.
I’ve watched the sunset clip many times and I still don’t understand it. The whole concept of a sunset is an optical illusion, so it doesn’t make sense to say it has “really set” at a certain point.
That wasn't the question though. The question was when the Sun was below the horizon. It is you who made the leap to that being the same as when the Sun sets.
The horizon is the limit of what you can see. It is an illusion. To say that the sun is “really” below the horizon when you can see it makes no sense.
@@wozzywick That's one interpretration, and what is known as the _geometrical_ horizon. That includes local conditions such as tree lines or the general landscape but also include optical effects of the Earth atmosphere. In physics especially astronomy, a horizon is the direct line including the curvature of space-time. It's also known as an _astronomical_ horizon. So when you're asked such a seemingly simple question as when the Sun is below the horizon that should make you pause and question what definition of a horizon is being used.
Ugh...please don't say "baby shark", it upsets my PTSD.
Phil sure is on QI a lot! A bit too much! Just because his daughter works on QI they have to drag him on all the time.
The last series (S) is the first he hasn't appeared on (although he has only made one appearance more than Bill Bailey).
Selection bias. The episodes Phil Jupitus is on seem to be those generally regarded as among the better episodes.
Interesting theory but she's only been working on QI since 2019. So her working on QI coincides with Phil being on less that in previous years.
