Bananas, what are they, herbs, fruit, or berries?

By the clothes, this is the same episode as the Galapagos tortoise segment. Clearly an excellent episode, they were all on fire.

“Who is the judge, by the way?” “Baaaaahh!” “I’m dead!”

I haven't seen this since probably '92, maybe earlier. I had to find this to try and flesh out the hazy memory but in this case, despite the fact that everything else about the show is exactly as remembered, this scene still doesn't match my memory the same way.

Fun fact: The moustache’s long association with the military is the reason the Amish shave them off.

Sean was having a grand time. So nice to see him laugh like that

I love that song ❤🎶

where did that shirt come from?!?!

"Also make a note of the word gobbledygook. I like it, I want to use it more often in conversation!"

Poor Phil, always defeated by big circular shapes on the screen

when The Parthenon is brought up in QI something interesting always happens.

Emma Thompson is god in almost all ways, we take it later. Wake two minutes, are you serious

He was still salty about the Sun not being there in P series. He may never get over it.

Nice call back to the movie

“Baaah”. I’d have been inconsiderate not to.

He's reliving the math class PTSD 😂

But they say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is...

Mmmm...the Beebs acceptable racism

"Ceiling."

Wasn't that awesome! Don't slouch darling directed at Alan would've been awesome

Press 7, I shall just leave that there

“Don’t be disgusting Darling!”

God bless big Sean Lock

Phil Juptus and Johnny Vegas should form Government

It was because of lice problems in the trenches and gas masks

So, what you're saying is, if earlier in the day I've been tucking into some Brazils, right before I nut on a girl's face, I should first ask her if she's allergic to nuts? Or, just say nothing, attend an orgy, and play Russian Roulette, machine gun nutspray edition.

And now he plays Scrooge McDuck lol you'll never beat the allegations this way David

The comments section on the qi videos is amazing

Phill, YOU ARE A STAR!!!

Ah! Lovely! First time I've seen that... Alan, letting one go while reading! Lol

Plot Twist: they got so much money because they told the people of Glasgow that they were invading London.

There is no experience in the world that cannot be described by a british person walking into a room; stopping, emoting thoughtfully, then leaving. This is the basis of all British Theatre.

I suspect we all know why they originally required moustaches.....

The reason being gasmasks

General Melchett: "Everybody now where's my map, come on" Darling: "Sir." *hands Melchett the map* Melchett: "Thank you." *rolls out map* "God! It's a barren featureless desert out there!" Darlin: "The other side, Sir."

"THE FLANDERS PIGEON MURDERER!!!!'" 😂

I work with 300 people, and at least 295 of them are funnier than Bill Bailey. All 300 are funnier than Phill Jupitus.

The moustache was a way of preventing females enrolling in the Army. In WWI, it became obvious that a moustache prevented proper seating of a gas mask. I hated having to wear a gas mask, the smell of the rubber also put me off dentists.

One thing I’ve learned is never ignore a poo poo!

Dam and blast you Blackadder 😂

the mustache rule was invented so women couldnt join the army

so all you had to do to avoid being in the army is shave

get your sonic thing out sorry i doesn't work on wood

During the First World War, my grandad was charge-sheeted for not growing a moustache. He managed to speak to his CO and get the charge-sheet removed, since he was too young to grow a moustache.

If anyone's moustache could win a war, it's Melchitt's moustache. Baaaaaaah!

Sean's world again!

Slight deviation but this means that the movie "Zulu" is way off with it's historical depiction of the soldiers of Rouke's Drift. Not many of the actors had moustaches and that conflict was in 1879, during the time that the regulation was enforced.

"My Speckled Jim!"

I LOVE David Tennant. I would happily watch Lee Mac burn in Hell.
