QI Compilation: Best Of Sharks

[@spottydog7143]

I'd love a compilation of Mitchell vs the Klaxon

[@billmorash3322]

Search KZbin for "Mitchell vs the Klaxon" It will be the first result. You won't be disappointed.

[@quantumblurrr]

Spottydog714 🤫

[@CrabbyDarth]

not a compilation tho

[@Voltaic_Fire]

I'm afraid the contained righteous anger would be too much, the uploaded would corrupt and that corruption would spread like a rage virus. Eventually every computer is complaining about all that imported bandwidth, how it's not patriotic, and that we should be building our own bandwidth. I imagine David Mitchell just complains about middle class ideological problems when not on TV.

[@GeoffreyBronson]

"It's cartilaginous matter...or cartilage as we would say...in England" I love Fry softly mocking his own vernacular in that moment.

[@JackDManheim]

5:31 David's animosity towards the Klaxon is a beautiful thing.

I love when the screen elves troll Micthell XD

[@sopcannon]

[@MrPluron7]

9:26 when Stephen says "it's a very cross section" is the most underrated joke in this video

[@sambassist7602]

Could someone explain it to me? English isn’t my first language

[@MrPluron7]

@@sambassist7602 Sure :), A cross section is when you cut something in half so you can look at everything inside from a side view (the picture of the shark is a cross section so you can see its organs and stuff) Sarah says that the shark doesn't look very happy, the word "cross" in English can also mean unhappy or angry, so when Stephen says it's "a very cross section" it's a pun on "cross" meaning 'down the middle' and also 'unhappy'

[@billmorash3322]

I've seen a few different types of sharks while SCUBA diving. Some harmless and some not so harmless and I have always been too captivated by their beauty to be totally terrified. (until later)

[@quantumblurrr]

🤫

[@newflesh666]

When I was around 13 or 14 I had a shark swimming directly at me while scuba diving and it was rather terrifying but years later I realized it was probably just a nurse shark that was fed by humans before and was looking for a handout.

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

I'm going to suggest that ominous music makes far more of a difference out of water than if you were face to face with one...

[@naphackDT]

I dunno, if I was out in the ocean, there was a shark and out of nowhere I'd hear that music, I'd actually be rather terrified.

[@BumMcFluff]

@@naphackDT In that case, the shark would never find me, as the water would suddenly be extremely cloudy and probably smell bad.

[@DrThunder88]

Maybe ominous music is scary because it's always played along video of sharks!

[@gggrow]

Haha I think you're on to something!!

[@M3rVsT4H]

I know one thing for sure, if you're in the water with a great white, it doesn't need a soundtrack to be terrifying.

[@elaineb7065]

This is fintastically jawesome!!! Sharky xxx

[@assassintwinat8]

The nose is the common answer because sharks have a lot of nerve receptacles in their snouts, making them very sensitive. It may not be the best place to punch them, but it'll still be unpleasant for the shark. On the flip side, the eye thing isn't the best for all sharks; when the great white, for example, attacks prey, it rolls its eye back into its head to prevent it from getting hit during the attack. All in all, aim for the gills I guess.

The silent one actually scares me more than the music one. The music is at least a cue for my brain to prepare itself for what is coming. The silent one is too close to how it would feel to be diving & turning around to see that shark coming straight for you.

You strike a shark in the gills, and go for the eyes only if you can’t reach the gills or it isn’t working. The gills are essentially the lungs of the animal, and striking them is like having the wind knocked out of you. Never punch for the nose because you could end up feeding the shark your hand.
