QI Full Episode: Quantities | Season Q Episode 15 | James Acaster, Bridget Christie & Joe Lycett

[@yeshua7238]

I love the way James keeps prompting Joe to explain Christopher Butterslip

[@BetterLifeAhead35]

The amount of frustration Acaster causes brings me much joy

[@TiberiusRex182]

Its almost like his middle name is Schadenfreude

[@happysqWid]

He's just trying to do unto others what Rhod Gilbert did to him during taskmaster

[@poliyrew]

@@happysqWid Oh my god that one lol

[@DD-sr9xm]

Captain James T. Kirk Acaster is a national treasure.

[@venoxidae]

It riffs on the heart when I see a new upload only remember watching it before.

[@mikeoates2126]

Seen it, but I laugh at Joe's Mr Wibbly Wobbly every time

[@janeeyre1990]

A delightful character indeed

[@Sam-bf2fl]

I don't understand how this show works or how points are given but I love it anyways

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

+10 points for getting the right answer +1 point for being on the right track -1 point for getting a wrong answer -10 points for getting a klaxon answer (the ones that make the noise and the big text happen, used to catch people saying obvious answers which end up being wrong) At least that's how I understand it from having watched quite a few episodes.

[@Sam-bf2fl]

@@trickytreyperfected1482 thank you! I’ve seen a few episodes and couldn’t figure it out. I think I got distracted by the jokes or something 😂

[@TheVioletGardener]

There is no real system, it’s the QI elves deciding who gave the most interesting answer, and minus points for triggering the klaxon

[@theninja4137]

How the hell did James do nothing but being mildly disruptive, yet still score best of the contestants? 😂

[@soijustlistenedto...]

James, you have my heart

[@ghomerhust]

alan's buttons are the highlight of every episode. when the production team trolls a regular, it's just priceless

[@cassrondeau9277]

They completely botched the fact-check about planes sadly. White paint is *literally* the heaviest kind of paint you can get because it generally contains titanium oxide and also requires more solids content to achieve the same saturation of colour. I love that James almost immediately sniffed out the falsehood saying "it does sound like a lie".

[@alanrogers7090]

In the comedy 1987 film, "Spaceballs", there is a scene where some one opens a soft drink-type can of, "Perri-AIR", which he sniffs instead of drinking. Clean air in a can. This was well before the Canadian gentleman that sold "air" in 2015.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

22:14 Yay! I actually said "Bitumen"! If you say the first thing that comes to your head, it sometimes pays off! 😆

[@jasonhare8540]

I had a collision once were the other driver tried to blame me . The police officer at the scene had been to one of those seminars where they studied that kind of thing about the bitumen ... She looked at the scene for about 3 seconds and advised the man that perjury was in fact a crime in the state of Tennessee 🤣 He changed his tune pretty quickly

[@nirfz]

23:00 Disagree, they stay because there is actual rubber "sanded off" and sticking to the road. Takes several weeks and rain for them to disappear

[@GummyBearWA]

I worked for a printer who made jigsaw puzzles. The cutting roller is insanely expensive and the labor needed to switch drums isn't worth doing.

[@thany3]

Weird, in my house, a printer works for me. If it works.

[@AlKohaiMusic]

Oh y'all were also at the Spirit Airlines shareholder meeting?

[@EebstertheGreat]

It's generally assumed that people buy the cans of Canadian air as a gag gift, not for any reputed medical benefits. But we don't really know.

[@CS-pi5oc]

My son works on the airlines and the older food carts weighed 200 pounds.

[@barbarahamme2760]

Judging by the comments it seems there’s no new episodes being made. Hope I’m wrong.

[@retched]

Still being produced. New series, Series T, just started on Friday.

[@barbarahamme2760]

[@sayalijadhav6046]

I don't understand this game, can someone please explain it?

[@retched]

No. Because it's not a quiz show or game show. It's a panel show.

[@adam346]

might be a bit of a controversial statement but I don't think anyone makes better TV than the brits do. Mind you I have only really watched French and English TV so my scope may be limited.

[@maxmarks3503]

oh it's much better than Dutch tv, or American for that matter. So yeah, I'm gonna agree with you

[@Hexon66]

Why controversial? I'd agree the panel shows like this or HIGNFY or House of Games are great. They value some level of intellect rather than just mere lowest common denominator. But scripted dramas, premium American programming (not network) is superior, in my opinion.

[@atri-us]

Finland is a Nordic country but not Scandinavian.

[@misszany1]

TBF neither Finland or Iceland are Scandinavian. They are Nordic countries tho :)

[@lilaliner1432]

Hey, can anyone explain to me the rules of this show? Is it even a quiz? Are there winners? Why is the lady in the middle answering the questions she is asking immediately? Does it have a goal?

[@DotBone89]

Yes!😛

[@TurtleMyrtle12]

I also was wondering the purpose of this show. Looks like 4 comedians brought on to listen to Sandy read google.

[@usnhotcarl]

It's a true panel show. The subject matter of the show is trivia-based, but unlike the cut-and-dry Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire the appeal here is the banter between the four comedians. As an American, it was weird for me to watch a show that had no scoring or prize money but instead four panelists just riffing off each other and making jokes. This has since become one of my favorite TV shows, and I can honestly say that nobody does panel shows better than the British.

[@lilaliner1432]

@@TurtleMyrtle12 that's the problem I have with the show. I don't want her to take up that much time with stuff iam personally not interested in. Iam interested in the Comedians and what they say.

[@lilaliner1432]

@@usnhotcarl I just loooove quiz shows. And also all british tv shows. They really do it best. But this one is not that much fun for me. Idk maybe it's also a generational thing that it is not fast paced enough for me...

[@mirandakeigher819]

The premise of this show is so boring and the scoring seems unbelievably disorganized, but I will continue to watch because of the banter, so good on them for not coming up with much but finding a way to entertain people

[@lilaliner1432]

There a buzzers but when are they using them? Where are the scoreboards? I don't understand the rules

[@EebstertheGreat]

@@lilaliner1432 It's not a real gameshow. It's a panel show. They just use a parlor game as a backdrop for cracking jokes and telling amusing anecdotes. Someone is apparently keeping score, but the score is meaningless and the method of scoring is secret.

Confusing format. it looks like some brits just having a nice chat. There's some question answering, but it's very informal and no one is giving out points

[@retched]

Yes. You got it. It's not a game show or quiz. It's just a panel show. There is no winner, no loser, just five brits having fun taking guesses at quiz facts.
