[@PokerJoker811]

I like how David's rant caused us to conveniently miss that the comment "I have a friend who's quite short and wears vertical stripes to look taller" came from someone who not only has vertical stripes on, but is, himself, Rob Brydon.

[@JatinderGill9]

i think that was the joke

[@Yarghvid]

PokerJoker811 David Mitchell is somewhat short, has vertical stripes and is Rob Brydon's friend. This joke just gets more subtle as it goes.

[@WarwickkkT101]

Arvid Kirkbakk He's 5'10, that's about the beginning of tall.

[@WarwickkkT101]

***** uhhh...no. He's 5'10 according to google, imdb, and if you compare his height to others in shows it's quite clear he's in that ball park.

[@WarwickkkT101]

***** I was responding to someone who said David was short...I then said that he wasn't he was 5'10.

[@sakinapdf]

"its like showing a very tired mason, a whole cathedral" I still quote it on a daily basis 😭

[@stevevasta]

👏👏👏

[@lekoman]

David Mitchell is a gem, but I always love how much Stephen loves David. I think that's my favorite part.

[@sander-wit]

Buy his autobiography, it's great!

[@nowhereman5760]

lekoman David Mitchell is a legend

[@diabl2master]

*and :)

[@eyepatchplease]

agreed

[@EzraDair]

No denying I mean look at Dave. He's so invested in the subjects , respects the aspect of the show and pay good attention to Stephen and his answers even jokingly shows that he's trying really to answer unlike Carr who answers with his sexual jokes . Unlike a dumbass like Bailey who just say anything stupid for entertainment value and keep distracting himself while Fry is trying to explain something . Dave keeps it within the show always .

[@D3w10n]

Rob Brydon "I have a really short friend that likes to wear vertical stripes because they make him look taller" ... says he while wearing a vertical stripe shirt.

[@warboism]

+D3w10n He may have been jokingly referring to himself

[@D3w10n]

Yes but it went unnoticed

[@chompette_]

+D3w10n or Ronnie Corbett

[@hippocritic]

+D3w10n Rob Brydon is short, too. I think he was definitely talking about himself.

[@misshavisham3220]

+D3w10n And Johnny Vegas was wearing horizontal stripes . . . he looked like he wanted to go off camera and change while they were discussing it. I get a kick out of him.

[@javiersds8081]

The best part about David's rants is that he actually makes very good points.

[@Qlicky]

He never talks rubbish, even when hes fuming his rants always have reason and common sense behind them.

[@rcheeks8963]

I disagree. He's far too opinionated and belligerent in his own beliefs. For instance take the topic of humans shouldn't really eat bread and drink milk, he just shouted down anyone else's opinion on the topic but provided no reasonable back up to his own opinion. Just saying it's rubbish because they haven't killed us isn't a clever argument at all.

[@thatLukeKneller]

@@rcheeks8963 but it is. Something that doesn't kill us or worsen our QOL is, as David puts it, 'fine to eat'. Now the point that there are maybe better things to eat is a different argument

[@BumMcFluff]

@@rcheeks8963 It is if you actually listen to him, and don't just knee-jerk to it. And anyway, shouting down Alan Davies is perfectly acceptable as he usually talks over top of others anyway and talks shit while he does it.

[@beauvaisboy]

Bread and milk makes us ill but David Mitchell is still funny

[@PonchoANS7]

David Mitchell is the voice of reason for all of humanity.

[@PonchoANS7]

Efreeti Yeah, it's great.

[@TristanAlricMusic]

I love how Rob Brydon's joke about himself at 4:34 completely flew over everyone's head

[@DanGolag]

Johnny made a similar, but subtler joke at 4:30.

[@livb6945]

I don't think it did. It was just such an obvious Brydon joke, it doesn't make you laugh

[@muskateer12345]

@@livb6945 no way. The bots that are these audience will laugh at fucking anything.

[@tomotion]

I don't think it was a joke at all. I think he was being serious but talking about himself, hence the vertical-striped shirt(s) and the shake of the head as David Mitchell ripped into his only hope of seeming slightly taller than he actually is.

[@redditbanditvideos7585]

It was a generic joke that was subpar to the rant that David was building on. It didn't fly over anyone's heads, they just chose to ignore it so as not to put the spotlight on Rob and away from David.

[@thejjfrantsexperience5572]

This is great but lacks my favourite moment *talking about a picture of Hitler and his ministers* Alan: Look at the one on the far right! David: Surely they're *all* on the far right

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

They're judging how high the high jump's gonna be.

[@CloudsGirl7]

Oh, man! I need to see that. 😆

[@AlwaysAC]

ind0ctr1n3 the word privatisation was invented to describe nazi economic policy 🧐 but I guess China and North Korean are both democratic and republics in your mind? I mean they are called Democratic people’s Republics so it must be?

[@AlwaysAC]

ind0ctr1n3 sounds to me like you don’t know the difference between authoritarian and libertarian. One can be either authoritarian or libertarian and still be either left or right. If your understanding of political theory is big government = left, small government = right, then I’m afraid continuing this discussion would be like trying to teach a pigeon to play chess. Read a little political theory, learn the most basic terms, come back and have another crack at it. Id suggest you research the government of Augusto Pinochet if you’d like a recent example of right wing authoritarianism, and perhaps look in to Hillel Steine and other similar writers if you’d like to understand left liberalism. There is no argument to be made that the German nazi party was leftist in any serious way beyond the laughable crap produced by the likes of PragerU.

[@AlwaysAC]

ind0ctr1n3 your views are not even close to being congruent with reality. No one in academic, political, sociological or even media circles would ever try to justify such an insane claim as ‘Pinochet was a left winger because he used force’. Even those who make deliberately disingenuous claims to muddy the waters of left and right would disagree with you here. You clearly have no knowledge of political theory and I suspect a tenuous grasp on reality. I’m going to end my contribution to this conversation after this comment and allow you to have the last word because This is entirely pointless. All I would say was this, please just do some basic research. I assume you must be a teenager or some one who hasn’t received much in the way of formal education, perhaps English isn’t you first language and you are just confused about the difference between left and authoritarian, and that is okay, it’s okay to be wrong you aren’t expect to know everything. But you are making claims that do not make any sense to anyone with even the most basic education in the subject. The word left wing simply does not mean authoritarian, any research with any education source, even those on the furthest right will confirm this for you. Don’t take my word for it, I’m a stranger on the internet. Please do some research, read even just a single chapter on political theory in the most basic text sociology text book. Good luck out there, bye.

[@paulmccloud9395]

Stephen loves David, clearly. One of the few guests that can out logic him. :)

[@JoeBlac]

Not as much as Emma Thompson loved David 0:42 She was entranced the whole episode.

One of the wittiest lines I've ever seen on a panel show and it hardly got many laughs. Deserved extended laughter and applause.

[@apljanz]

Protect david mitchell at all costs!

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

We need an episode with Mitchell, Charlie Brooker and Richard Ayeoade, it will be so dry and just filled with brutal logic

[@swanclipper]

David W. - M03 "M Places" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaqnYXVupq2sh5I

[@davidw.2791]

Calle Söderberg Oh shit we're on Series P now?!

Sorry, that was supposed to be "M Places" - editing now.

[@enigmatic474]

How I'll miss Stephen Fry doing this. One of the best moments of my life was talking to him on the phone. I was working for Tesla and he called to ask to test drive a car, and we ended up just chatting for ages about his new book. An absolute gentleman, just as charming & funny as on TV.

[@timaustin2000]

Tom did he get his test drive?

[@enigmatic474]

Tim Austin he did indeed - and unlike literally every other celebrity, he came to our public showroom in the busy Westfield mall, rather than ask us to bring a car to him. Alas he decided to keep driving his black cab!

[@timaustin2000]

Tom he'll come round ;-)

[@CloudsGirl7]

Wow, that is one heck of an upside to working for Tesla.

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

When David got those 3 alarms on the WWI question, that was absolutely Brilliant! Hilarious!

[@TheCASMerlinlancelot]

InformationIsTheEdge When I watched that bit, I was so hoping that they would type "Mitchell is a cock"

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

DigiChicken I was already laughing so hard, if they had done that, my head would have burst! This bit was perfectly titled.

[@hedgehog1965uk]

[@KCKatheist]

I simply adore both David Mitchell and Stephen Fry...

[@lagoondiver]

David arguing with the QI Elves is one of the funniest moments in the show 😂

[@drpeppington]

My sister is a graphic designer who works for a printing company and David was spot on about the misspelling of the signs

[@mondoprime]

I love when David Mitchell does that thing on panel shows where he pretends to be outraged but funny at the same time. He should do that more.

[@joshk.]

do that more? that's like his shtick, he does it essentially whenever possible

[@JoshOfFire]

He should still do it more.

[@gjdsmith]

Yes

[@TheTurkishLinguist]

I really don't think he pretends. He really takes all those things seriously 😄

[@joshk.]

theinterpreter no, it's an act. i'm fairly certain even _he_ has said it's an act. i don't know if you're british or not, but if you're not, that's sort of how british comedy works

[@lugialover09]

Rob: "I have a friend who's quite short." Yes, Rob. A "friend."

[@michaelcolbourn6719]

I thought that was a self deprecating joke, as he was wearing a striped shirt and he's short, that was missed

[@SpevMoon]

David Mitchell is a gift to mankind and we do not deserve him.

[@johnvonhorn2942]

Why because we're not men?

[@GlyntTheCat]

I think he knows this and is bitterly angry about his existence in the first place 👌

[@HolyGoddessMotherAnne]

He's brilliant on Peep Show I'll admit.

[@markkennedy9767]

Love David Mitchell. I like how he wears his intelligence lightly and how he argues with such conviction in his own logical way. Very witty guy

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Anyone notice in the 'vertical/Horizonal stripes' segment, everyone, apart from Alan, is wearing stripes? Stephen, David and Rob are wearing vertical stripes and Johnny is wearing horizontal stripes. Alan, of course, is wearing spots.

[@Satters]

what they are calling horizontal stripes, I was taught were called hoops

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Just horizontal stripes across an item of clothing like a shirt or dress.

[@eliarmosaferi2033]

Alan's spots are just stripes in the third dimension ;)

[@Tupelo927]

[@slowfreq]

[@Vidar_Odinson]

The QI elves had to have been giggling themselves silly during the world war bit

[@tychogoedhart286]

VidarOdinson79 I know I was

[@scipioafricanus5871]

So the QI elves is the proper name for "people in the box" as Mitchell was referring to them?

[@joethejanitor845]

I think some of the QI writers have a podcast, 'No such thing as fish'. It's quite good.

[@kevinw712]

The greatest regret of that one QI technician was, in fact, NOT typing in "Mitchell is a cock" lol

[@dacid44]

Props to whoever went back over this 6-year-old video and added sections!

[@abidaker4632]

I've watched so much QI that I can tell which series it is just from Stephen's weight fluctuations

[@styot]

+Abi Daker And his awful haircut in later seasons.

[@BAWAkulkarni]

+Abi Daker I hope to get to that level soon.

[@HerHollyness]

+Abi Daker I love that they were all thin at the same time - Stephen, David and Dara. Not so much any more, of course, but they obviously all had a club or something that year! :P

[@GirGir183]

+HerHollyness Dara...thin??

[@pjmbidge632000]

+Abi Daker Why would you care about his weight! What difference does his weight matter?

[@HiddenWen]

This guy probably has a great time every day observing the world, and seeing how ridiculous most of it is.

[@shawzie1916]

+HiddenWen ~ Take it from someone who can spot these things. He's on anti-depressants. They turn life into a comedy show.

[@TroPy1n]

[@CureForPain1234]

i've been taking the wrong anti-depressants, clearly.

[@Codex7777]

anti depressants dont work there are better alternatives to treating depression that actually work but the government has made them illegal with their whole war on drugs bs

[@mariahammarstrom7934]

I'm going to play it safe and wear plaid.

[@DimetriKhan]

+kidneystone53 David Mitchell and Lee Mack's chemistry is brilliant.

[@froggyplatypus]

I can't get enough of the one where Rob Brydon got into the "cuddle jumper", and it completely broke David down into uncontrollable laughing.

[@zetetick395]

There are big chunks of his autobiography on YT, with David narrating: Really worth a listen, they're great!

[@djangoscott-cowling9950]

He was born to play his character in Peep Show

[@tomb89]

+Django Scott It's probably because he wrote himself as the "character".

[@spamhonx56]

+Tom B yes, it certainly seems that he realised that if he removes the filter of simply being polite, people find his opinions and sarcastic putdowns hilarious. i doubt i'm anywhere near as funny but some time in my teens i realised that if i simply spoke my mind in this way, people are amused not offended.

[@spacemonkey95]

+Tom B David Mitchell didn't write Peep Show. It was written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bains.

[@Monker4444]

"Sorry, Alan." 00:51 David Mitchell cannot abide being called a bully.

I love David’s comments on shitty customer service. It immediately lowers my expectations 🤣🤣🤣

[@BlaiddDrwg2009]

The bee debate is my favourite Q.I argument XD

[@TheJoeStiles]

[@ethanzhao3231]

lol he's literally wearing vertical stripes as he sits there

[@clothilde1623]

That was the entire point - he was talking about himself.

[@kisbie]

Clothilde They were all wearing those shirts to fit in with the theme of the episode.

[@redditbanditvideos7585]

He was trying to set up his lame joke so that someone would respond in the same lame way you did. Luckily people ignored it and let David continue.

[@redditbanditvideos7585]

I think a lot of people who made these similar comments must be American. They have very little concept of self-deprecating humour.

[@Consural]

"Mitchell" should get a new dictionary definition which means "Angry logic" in honour of David.

[@lyannawinter405]

"Mitchelling around", so to speak.

[@randomaccessfemale]

I love this angry logic! It both makes sense and is funny as hell!

[@Evija3000]

[@DimetriKhan]

+Evija3000 It almost certainly is knowing what David Mitchell is like :P

[@Evija3000]

Daniel Louw Well this was very particular.

[@Evija3000]

onlyteo I meant this very particular scenario, not getting bullied in general.

[@lorgaraurelian8654]

+onlyteo Why would they be? That's just what people tell themselves to feel better and create a false sense of superiority. Plenty of bullies go on to become perfectly successful people.

[@pixiniarts]

+Lorgar Aurelian They go on to be successful people because being intimidating, manipulative, mean, boorish, vile, cutthroat and lacking in empathy actually works well in business. In fact a good proportion of business leaders are thought to be psychopathic according to studies.

[@Milkb0t]

I love the end where you can hear Stephen saying "You're so right, that's exactly what we do" as the credits fade in

[@shawzie1916]

[@kevinmichael2593]

He had one for four seasons, called "David Michell's Soapbox". They are brilliant.

[@jwvandegronden]

I've commented on this before, but as far as I know only David Mitchell can make Stephen Fry laugh as much from the core of his being. A pleasure to watch, and so well deserved. Would he realize how much of a gem he was to Stephen? Love their brains in action.

[@0xCAFEF00D]

Qi has to be the best panel show in the world.

[@WilliamJohnson-ml7ij]

David Mitchell is my favorite non-Alan panelist. He is always brillant.

[@Arbaaltheundefeated]

As someone who has actually worked as a designer making - among other things - signs... It is actually a matter of technicality, because if a customer asks you to make a sign that says 'Accomodations' rather than 'Accommodations' and you correct their spelling, you are technically not giving them what they asked for and they would actually be entitled to a refund, under most nations' consumer protection laws. Of course sometimes you might simply ask the customer about it but that assumes you can easily communicate with them, which is usually the job of the sales division and it may be that they were only in contact via e-mail and so-on and you'd end up severely delaying a job that should have been finished in no-time... So, yes, generally the signmaker is perfectly aware it is wrong, AND it pisses them off too but they can't really do anything about it because they're told to make what the customer asked for, in a very literal sense.

[@wilddogspam]

As someone who has worked with consumer Law, you seem to be justifying not being arsed to do a good job by exaggerating the difficulties. The Law in most places allows you to unilaterally fix little obvious mistakes (misspellings, misplaced decimal points etc) even in the most sensitive of legal documents, much less a sign. I suppose that if it was the name of the business or a stylized logo there could be some confusion, but no client wants a simple sign for "accommodations" that is purposefully misspelled.

[@Arbaaltheundefeated]

Well, I can't speak to what the law says on the matter, so I'll defer to you on that. All I know is that my superiors told me to ignore spelling and grammar errors, and when I asked why that was the reason given. It may well be that they had different reasons for saying so than the ones they were giving me, but I still am of the belief that errors like these are rarely the designer's fault.

[@wilddogspam]

+Jørgen A I agree that it's not the designer's fault or even a malicious ploy as implied in the video. There are many people that are just terribly afraid of the twelve headed beast of litigation and make things worse than they have to be, either by ignorance or convenience. It's a lot more convenient to just tell the client to spellcheck before commissioning than to explain why you changed it, specially if they don't agree with the change. I would still prefer it to be left to the designer's discretion as to what is obvious enough to correct (like accomodation) and what might cause contention.

[@lammy1234567890]

+Jørgen A "Accommodations" means compromises. Accommodation, referring to places to live, is always singular.

[@Arbaaltheundefeated]

lammy1234567890 Well, that's not what the online dictionary says AND I'm not a native English speaker, so please do forgive me.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Mitchell is hands down the best QI panelist.

David Mitchell is the perfect mix of intelligent and bloody hilarious. He's by far my favourite celebrity.

[@fenhen]

8:51 I love how he’s clearly never punched anyone before.

[@xonxt]

He always gives out such coherent and smart sounding rants, almost as if he's preparing them beforehand.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Yes, and yet he isn't. He's just used to thinking on his feet. He not only does a lot of panel shows - which keep his wit razor-sharp - but being incredibly bright, he's starting with the best toolbox.

[@vasyan123]

I don't know what we did to the universe to deserve David Mitchell

[@rjwh67220]

The bee recovery (let’s call it what it is) rant was wonderful.

[@snapdragon606]

My personal favourite was in answer to a klaxon for the question "do you want a nightcap" in which David Mitchell said "I would like to inquire if the word 'no' is also attached to a buzzer and therefore exactly how we could fucking win"

[@Vesnicie]

I'm glad Mitchell at least seems to remember what life for us normals can be like, how thankless and pointless and that yeah, it really is adding insult to injury to expect us to smile like a clown on crack through all the pain.

[@cwpo1973]

This is probably my favorite set of QI clips of all time. Mitchell is simply awesome.

[@EliasLeo6]

[@garethtudor836]

David is absolutely correct about signage companies (the company I work for, at least). We frequently receive orders containing glaringly obvious spelling and grammatical errors. Our dilemma is this: do we inquire about the error and potentially show the customer up, or do we proceed with what we've been given and risk an angry end user?

[@Telstar62a]

You don't get to use "(sic)" like a reporter. I mean, who really knows if for some reason, they actually want the misspell/error as some sort of inside joke or pun, no matter how incomprehensible. It may eat away at you, but at least you have the order to fall back on - "Look, I put exactly what you said you wanted". (See also This Is Spinal Tap and the Stonehenge model)

I love how Mitchel also gets kinda angry with his points. :D

Rob Brydon is 5ft 8… and he was wearing vertical stripes… Some 'friend' Rob…?

[@mightymuppetz]

I wouldn't call 5ft 8 short, it's not tall but it's hardly tiny.

[@W0mbRaider]

He is 5''7' which is a clear 3 inches below average for a UK male so while he's certainly no midget he most definitely is short.

[@mrswafflechops]

lequoix He is 5ft 6 but yeah I thought that xD

[@BunniMonster]

katie murphy 5'7, he said it himself in an interview with the Daily Mail (*spit*) I'm also 5'7 which is two inches below the national average yet because that's an average, almost half of all men in the UK are shorter than 5'9. I see guys shorter than me all the time and have never felt particularly tiny so I don't know why Rob is always held up as an example of a short fella.

[@liamferry239]

+The Happy Channel I'm 13 and I'm 5'6 and I'm not that short

[@una_10bananas]

[@sander-wit]

Awesome compilation, thanks!

[@anisah6089]

I come here every time I need cheering up - and it always works

[@romulusnr]

4:35 Brydon: I've a friend who's quite short, and he likes to wear vertical stripes "A friend" uh huh right mate

[@CiceroLounge]

I love the way David explodes with logic; he's tenacious in his arguments. Love when he is talking about job contracts and horizontal and vertical stripes. As for 'it's the technique of the bully!' Brilliant

[@sharonmullins1957]

I can not get enough of David Mitchell's snarky humour. Love this guy.

[@sezthet1]

David Mitchell for Prime Minister.

[@haroldnaples]

It's amazing that nobody ever said at the start of the show, "OK, I am going to shut up now and likely win with 0", which just a few episodes in seems like an obvious comment. He came closest to pointing it out, until they finally chose to make fun of their scoring system themselves, rather late. The comment about the penalty being typed out on the fly was also good.

[@eomoran]

4:50, I love how David completely missed that Rob was talking about himself

[@EdoKwin]

I was waiting for the klaxons bit. Mitchell's one of the few guests who's sharp and quick enough to really tackle the inherent gotcha bullshit of that segment.

[@GabrielaaCOLOMBIANA]

David Mitchell is brillianttttttt!

[@Eva-ow7pu]

2:00 wow David, that is a ....noteworthy shirt

[@christhomas7905]

Love these clips of David's rants! 😂 his angry logic is brilliant 👏🏼

[@shotforshot5983]

the most brilliant compilation on KZbin
