He's on the panel in all of the clips (I haven't personally verified this, but your own lack of awareness has bewildered me so I can't quite bother with the task, sorry) .. it's a panel show, with banter between all people involved. I feel the relevant point is that David had a contribution in every conversation featured in the video, not just 1 hour of David's fucking face for 1 hour, which would make far less sense when taken out of context.
I love David Mitchell on this show and on WILTY. The first clip where they are talking about starlings brought back childhood memories of my dad. He was a Federal Agent that used to rant about starlings when they would poop on his cruiser. We lived in Tennessee, and he said they used to fly in from Canada to crap on his Ford Bronco he drove for work.
i,m from london and it must be a dad thing because mine always reckoned the local pigeons would wait for mum to hang out the washing so they could shit in his vests
Somebody decided it was a good idea to introduce all the birds mentioned in Sheakepeare into America. They thought, Central Park, there's no way could migrate out of there! The owls all died but the sparrows and the starlings, prospered and spread, I wonder that didn't have the good idea of inroducing cats and rats onto Pacific islands.
If they keep this weird convention Trump is the 45th and the 47th president. Imagine going back to ~2010 to tell Stephen and the panel guests in this room that information, they would not believe it
@tjjames9846 My dad used to do audience for Qi and other british panel shows, he said they weren't scripted (apart from the presenter jokes ofc). But the comedians discuss each topic for around 20-30 minutes with most of it being unbearably unfunny (with a lot of fourth wall breaking discussion about joke setup), then it all gets trimmed down in editing. He said that Sean Lock, Micky Flanagan & Lee Mack, were the most impressive for just how funny + quick they were, which you can feel when you watch them. I remember him saying Micky Flanagan made a lot of really offensive jokes that never made the cut, this was back in 2012 and my dad isn't exactly pc, so I'd imagine they were pretty vile.
My mum told me a story of the local shop in her village being broken into, they stole the cash from till & lots of other things including pens, which had a pad next to them on which they checked pens were working by signing their names😂😂😂😂 ( culprits were 10 to 12)
If you watch the whole hour of this, you can tell how it's badly edited together from clips of the official QI channel -- the links are still there. Don't follow this channel, follow QI.
I went to the island of Tenerife in september 1989; to work in time-share at a resort called Island Village. The "owners" at the time were bragging that one of the co-investors was Ronald Biggs. Never saw him, of course, as Brasil was a much safer place to count left-over money than Tenerife was.
Wait a minute, surely the "camel through the eye of a needle" thing is about the difficulty the rich man faces. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to give up his wealth. This is clearly hyperbole, of course, but the message is clear: if you are a wealthy person, you will find it extremely difficult-if not impossible-to willfully lose your wealth in exchange for spiritual fulfillment. ps. I'm a nihilist.
@@bambino9235 Is that so? That's really surprising. I would have expected a channel from cable TV to know it needs to have good subtitles, since younger people mostly stream things.
@@Proserpira yep, go have a look. It sucks. Gotta go to iplayer for subtitles on QI online, but obviously none of the fun compilations and stuff are available there. I find it especially surprising for a programme like QI and it completely perplexes me. It seems so random
I noticed that on the weekends they play the type of music that younger adults in their 20's listen to, while during the day on weekdays it's easy-listening music that seniors are less likely to object to!
they brought out an American HIGNFY. Hope they do a QI version next since they are almost done the letters over there. Or they start again with new facts and call the next 26years season 2.
I was just listening to this and not looking at the video... I forget his name, but at 32:00 when he says, "starfish haven't got any brains," on first hearing I could have sworn it was Henning Wehn. How odd that his particular English accent, for some words and phrases, sounds so close to a German for whom English is his second language.
He has a very particular inflection. It's in the way he says the word "brains," for example - he seems to have the same, or a similar, problem pronouncing the 'br' sound.
I mean, he of course pronounces the 'R' as a 'W', like e.g. Jonathan Ross, which Germans also do. But it's not just that - Jonathon Ross saying the same word or phrase wouldn't sound so much like Henning. It's that combined with his accent and his sort of clipped way of speaking.
I would pay good money to be like David right here again 30:37. David, my man, you didn't know the half of it, and I'm afraid we don't even know the half of it today.
This compilation is much sloppier than videos on this channel usually are. Several 1-second blips between clips and what's up with that ad for the channel around 27 minutes?
@@kaywaters7478 I do pay to watch QI on iPlayer. But since I've seen most episodes a handful of times already, sometimes I like to watch compilations that mix things up.
My interesting note on sleep. My Dad built me a cabin bed. I had a desk and school chair with wardrobe and so on. I was around the age of 10. I had this same dream now and then. It's an Indianna Jones style dream and chased by people. I end up going along a small path against a rock face. Then I slip and fall. In the morning. I woke up on the floor. It turns out that I must of moved towards the edge, thus triggering the dream sequence and then throwning myself out of bed. My Dad demolished it when he came in to wake me up and I hadn't put the chair back. He said I was faced up with my back over the chair. He took it apart the next day.
Surely, the one single Oscar that was 'ballsed-up' by Stephen Fry would be move valuable than just another one hammered out by the people who do it all day long.
The Sally gate, or port, was a hidden exit where fifty horsemen might dash out, single file, and attack the sleeping soldiers besieging the curtain wall about the Bailey. Very few could resist a siege for a very long time.
I love David but I've seen all of these several times. But the one I love best with the lava lamps, isn't here. I always laugh regardless of how many times I see it
To find a simple yet effective analogy to explain why it's better to count a different person rather than a new president, one needs look no further than the sophisticated example some of us share: Does sleeping with your ex add to one's, as the kids say, body count?
With shopping. In my more flexible days I'd start at the top and bend/kneel down for the lowest shelf. Nowadays I have to put my glasses on to see the amount per £ (it's written that small), and you can't trust package size. Also if I knelt down today I'd need help getting up. Can't these people, from producers to supermarkets, just make a profit honesty?
They said 44th person to become President as if they didn't it would have confused all the Americans and the country would have fell apart. Oh wait.. Who came in immediately after him.. It fell apart anyway..🤣
They may have realised that training pigeons to help bomb ships might have had a similar flaw to what the Russians discovered during WWII when they trained dogs to hide under tanks whilst carrying explosives. The poor dogs didn't know they were supposed run under the German tanks. Well just as one tank would look much the same as another, .....one naval ship would look much the same as another!
We didn't put a man on the moon. We put 24 men on the moon. Including my cousin. If you knew him, you'd just know. He wasn't the sort who would lie about something like that. He was a ridiculously good person. To a fault. He wasn't very funny.
Although, on the Original Star Trek, when the doors opened they had two people, one per side, actually slide the doors open and closed, not a "mechanism". Nuts, huh?
Having worked at a supermarket for many years I can tell you that this subliminal placement thing is total cock. Things are simply put they fit and that's it. You have promotional spots, usually at the ends of aisles and again these are just selected for suitability against the products on offer. Things are also moved around from time to time, but this is primarily done because of layout changes, some parts get extended and others contracted due to product availability and diversity. There is no subconscious science that goes into it what so ever.
A lot of the stuff on QI is bunk, unfortunately. Perhaps it's less about which objective side you sleep on, and whether it's the side you normally sleep on? I'd ask you to try it for us, but it sounds like you might be guaranteed a nightmare of sorts...
"A lot of the stuff on QI is bunk" I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Like the bit they did on "pure water" being less than healthy. Imagine, telling someone that drinking only distilled water can lead to health issues. Madness!
David Mitchel, Headington boy, and you still kicked Woodstock at rugby. Woodstock were poofs, even compared to Headington. We couldn't have been less poofy, even if you compared us to Headington or Steven Fry.

David Mitchell AND Dara O'Briain together is just amazing! Some of my favorite comedians/panelshow guests!
For an hour of Mitchell, he doesn't seem to appear that often.
Good
"1 Hour Of Stephen Fry..." would have been more accurate.
