QI, you can learn a lot while having a laugh. It’s that simple. Great show

[@babalonkie]

Spot on. It's like being in a class learning with your mates and the teachers are comedians.

[@mattlm64]

It isn't always accurate though.

[@babalonkie]

@@mattlm64 At no fault of their own... they use the latest information out at the time, But they always update with the new information on a later episode. The wonders of Science across the entire planet is it is always learning new things.

[@jamesbarrett9466]

Lock's shout of 'Sean's alive!' at 3:30 is a reference to Blessed's line 'Gordon's alive!' from the Flash Gordon movie.

[@helenroberts1107]

I love QI. It’s a brilliant programme! It’s really funny! You should check it out. It’s definitely not high brow 😂

[@HenrikJansson78]

It sort of tries to be high brow but fails miserrably. On purpose.

[@Lones555]

It's so up and down as it relies completely on the guest lineup and more often than not now its 3 completely unfunny people being propped up by Alan Davies. Both Stephen and Sandi are fantastic hosts though.

[@SpudgunStreams]

I heard a story from a crew member on the QI episode with Rory McGrath (cormorants/sea crows), where Stephen lost his patience with him. The idea of any panel show is give a couple of funny answers, get the audience laughing, have some fun then get to the answer. Rory, because he's incredibly knowledgeable, was just jumping to the answer everytime. So during a break in filming, Stephen just snapped at him "You're f****** ruining this!", and you can tell with Sean's messing around he wasn't impressed with him either.

[@anthoantho1989]

Wasn't there a rumour that he demanded that they give him the answers to the questions beforehand, because he thought it wouldn't make him look like a fool.

[@SpudgunStreams]

@@anthoantho1989 I've heard that somewhere but don't recall if the guy I was talking to told me that

you would love QI dude, its right up your street. all your faves have appeared or are regular, the comedy is brilliant.

[@TChighbury]

Qi was literally designed to make high-brow accessible. It's probably not great to react to, but it is awesome TV for pretty much any intelligence level

[@garethm3242]

Yeah dude, as a fan of QI since it first aired in 2003, I can say with confidence that you're more than sharp enough to love this show. The fact that you have an interest in history too will add to this. Great show.

[@PianoDentist]

The point of QI is that the obvious answer is usually the wrong one. Hence the Klaxon going off when someone gives an obvious answer and they loose points.

[@robh_uk]

Yep, and the correct answer is normally ungettable, so panellists gain points for being interesting rather than being right. That's why it's called QI (Quite Interesting).

[@ssirfbrorsan]

SEAN LOCK is/was an odd character, his thoughts more often than not 'outside the box'. Few can, like him, find the most twisted associations. Love him.

[@paulhooton6261]

Try to find the episode where they try to answer the question "why did it take so long to give the Giant Tortoise (from the Galapagos Islands) a proper scientific name." David Mitchell was one of the panelists but everyone was on great form. Has me in stitches every time

[@markjones127]

Glad you enjoyed it Boomer, it's a long running show with approx. 360 episodes so far, each season is all topics beginning with the same letter of the alphabet so series one was A etc. and they just finished season 22 which was V, but you know it's not a show you have to watch from episode 1 and watch every episode, if you wanted to watch some full episodes ask people to vote for which one, there are a lot of classic episodes and most people have a bunch of favourites they love. Also the points system is a nonsense, basically they just give and take points as they please, once you realise this it gets even funnier, none of it is serious, the question writers are a bunch of boffins behind the scenes referred to as the QI Elves and they can only communicate with the Klaxon and by typing text on the large screens, the head Elf and creator of the show is John Lloyd who also produced all 4 series of Blackadder. Alan Davies is a guest on every episode and it's his job to play really dumb and try and annoy Stephen, but they built up quite the bromance over time, basically the more stupid and disruptive the guests are the funnier it is, Stephen retired form the show after season 13 and was replaced by Sandi Toksvig.

[@markjones127]

Actually if you ever decide to react to this, I'd suggest reacting to one episode from each season which would still be 22 episodes, but less daunting than 360! In fact thinking about it more, maybe if you wanted to react to some full length panel show episodes maybe do just one a week, but just mix the shows up, do QI one week, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown the next, then Shooting Stars, Would I Lie To You etc. I think that could work really well, just have a reaction slot once a week called the Comedy Panel Shoe Reaction. The only show which wouldn't work like that is Taskmaster where you really need to watch a full season at a time as it's a competition with points where every season is the same group of guests in every episode competing to be champion of that whole season.

[@paulbromley6687]

[@jimb9063]

Great show QI. General Ignorance is my favourite round, the only thing we know is we know nothing. The full moon thing probably comes from pre mass lighting days. Anyone who frequently walks around in the countryside at night knows there's a massive difference to visibility when the moon is full and it's clear. More light, more ability do things, more people around outside, more potential for trouble. It's similar to the difference between summer and winter concerning how well people behave in the evenings today.

[@pauloingram]

I saw Sean Lock doing stand up in a tiny comedy club before he was famous. He was on the circuit for years!

[@LordRaxyn]

The concept of QI is the creator read an encyclopedia and noticed how many things he thought he knew were actually wrong. QI is short for Quite interesting and is basically a trivia and misapprehension quiz. If you can find a compelation of it, Phil Jupitus' apearences would show the idea pretty well.

[@cripple66]

Qi is my favourite panel/game show of all time! You probably wont get 99% of the questions right, but youll damn sure remember all the answers for the rest of youre life.

one of Sean Locks Best Specials is called "Sean Lock: Live! 2008" its the same one where he ends with the riddler, theyre all great though, the Purple Van man with the purple Suit, and "Lockipedia" where hes dressed like its a Ted Talk

[@GreyHulk2156]

QI is more like watching a friendly conversation between celebrities, that the audience can get a lot of "Quite Interesting" facts from. Although, the answer to the questions are often NOT the obvious answer.

[@markjones127]

It's funny but when they talk about the space ladder and Sean said put it on the highest point on Earth which is Everest, well on another episode of QI they said that Everest wasn't the highest point on earth, it's just the highest point above sea level, the highest point from the centre of Earth being Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, because the world is squashed and nor perfectly round, that's what I love about QI, it teaches you stuff you can annoy people at parties with! 🤣

[@DannyHeywood]

''It was very interesting'' Yeah, QI stands for Quite Interesting, you get points for being interesting, not just getting the questions right. there are about 200 episodes, all of them good.

[@amnril]

I’ve been in the live audience for an episode to QI and Steven Fry is a true gentlemen, was friendly with the audience and so professional. A very very smart man.

The whole premise of QI is to talk about ‘Quite Interesting’ things. But it very rarely stays on topic, it’s hilarious. Stephen Fry no longer hosts it, he left and Sandi Toksvig took over, and she was the perfect replacement 👌

Something you may find interesting about the QI show: It was originally created to be a direct interpretation of the original mission statement of the BBC itself, which was to "inform, educate and entertain", and in fact still is. I'm sure you would agree that QI is at the very least successful at doing all of that.

[@DJ_Sycottic]

To watch QI you have to watch full episodes, things will make sense then...

[@katherinebirkett4706]

They get points for answers which are either correct, or incorrect but 'quite interesting', which is what QI stands for. If an urban myth is mentioned in an answer, the klaxon sounds and they get a certain number of points deducted. All of the panellists' answers are fact-checked in real time by a group of people backstage called the 'QI Elves'. They do a podcast called 'No Such Thing As A Fish'. David Mitchell has challenged the Elves on a few occasions to brilliant, ranty effect! It's a Quizzer's Paradise, which is why I watch it. The show is now hosted by Sandi Toksvig, the woman in the blue suit in the question about knock-holes.

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Season 4 of Jimmy Carr's game show "I Literally Just Told You" is currently on yt. I think 6 episodes. Each season stays up for a couple of weeks then gets deleted.

[@rogerlundstrom6926]

I think the premiss they started with kind of explains it.. It's a quiz-show where the questions are supposed to be so difficult or obscure that the point isn't to get the questions right, but to not answer predictably. You don't need to "know" things to enjoy this, but of course it is more fun if you actually can enjoy a bit of smugness.. KB is right about Stephen Fry, but when he quit the show I sighed of relief when I heard Sally Toksvig took over the show.. She had been on the show a handful of times, and she and Fry didn't just have a good chemistry, but also.. She pretty much showed she knew the stuff the show was about. They didn't show it in this compilation, but the actual "Using the neck of a goose as a toilet-paper" bit, she actually got the question right.. Immediately.. Often these comedians give people some time to riff about it (or give the "obvious" answer, the commonly held misconception) BEFORE jumping to the actual answer even if they know it.. but.. Time-wise the delivery of the correct answer was impeccable.. The answer itself contained the level of "surprise" you need for it to be the punchline, and the delivery was just awesome.

[@RobWool]

"Right after I discovered Sean Lock...Sounds like an admission to me. Is it to soon let me know.

[@xensonar9652]

QI is a panel game show where Stephen Fry asks the contestants questions with obscure and strange answers and you get points for the correct answer, more points for an interesting answer or related trivia. Several wrong answers to each question will be on an unseen list and if a contestant gives one of those answers, the klaxon will sound, the answer will flash up on the screen, and the contestant will lose points. Often a question will be one about an untrue "fact" that has circulated in pop culture or an urban legend that many people assume is true or a trick question of some kind, and the obvious answer will be incorrect, triggering the klaxon. It's possible to go into negative points of you get too many questions incorrect. Given that the contestants are mostly comedians, the show often descends into chaos, with them giving comedic and absurd answers and avoiding the obvious answers as much as they can to avoid the klaxon.

[@fordcass4325]

QI is just awesome you learn you laugh it's the best

[@hellsbunniestv584]

The fun thing about QI (Quite Interesting) is that it is waaay above most people's intelligence level and importantly, above that of the panel. I think its success is that it's for the super clever and us thickos. You lose points for the obvious answer and gain points for interesting ones. As a result most people end up with a negative score. Originally the host was meant to be Michael Palin, with Fry as the captain of the clever team and Davis the head of the stupid team. Palin dropped out and the producer, John Llotd stepped in for the pilot. It was apparently obvious that he wasn't fit for the roll and Fry stepped in (which is why there's only ever been one team captain). Stephen stepped down from the roll at the halfway mark. The season are lettered A to Z so there can only be 26 series. For series N Sandi Tosvik took over and she's really taken the show as her own. It's different from Fry's, which I'm glad of but in every way as good. Sandi and Alan have actually become incredibly close friends, I believe some years their families spend Christmas together. QI is actually part of The QI Institue that produces a whole range of shows and podcasts - QI, THere's No Suck Thing as a Fish and The Musiem of Curiosity. There's also a range of books. The institute existed to be inclusive, friendly, kind and promote learning. Jinny Carr once described QI as, "A n evening in with some nice people."
