QI XL Full Episode: Quarrels | Including Aisling Bea, Jason Manford & Anuvab Pal

[@HeyBluee]

In subway escalators in Buenos Aires (Argentina) we've started doing the thing of standing on the right and leaving the left side free for those who want to walk through it. It's not super widespread, but I've seen enough people doing it and I think it's quite practical!

[@Krjwzhr]

Same thing in New York City!

[@DjinnRummy]

Anywhere in the US I’ve been everyone stands on the right too, except for the odd person here and there. It’s just like car traffic here, where you leave the left side for passing

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@DjinnRummy Not when you're old and cantankerous like me. 😈🙄😉

[@TwinDragonStudios]

Same thing in Japan. The right side is for standing and the left side is for walking.

[@DarylShires]

In Australia, where I live, cars are driven on the left hand side of the road; and we stand on the left on escalators. So, for countries that drive on the right, it makes sense to me that it’s in the “muscle memory” of the people of those countries, to stand on the right of an escalator. Why London is different, bewilders me. 🦘🇦🇺

18:13 that story aged incredible well. Apparently Nigerian women were ahead of their time with the social distancing 😂

It's a good thing none of those dangerous lifeboats were used when the Titanic went down. Somebody could have gotten hurt, or even killed!

[@BigSteve_Gaming187]

My grandmother was driving from near top of Northern Wisconsin to Central Wisconsin driving her 90' Plymouth Acclaim. Being a Grandma she had both hands at the top. A deer ran in front of her on interstate and when she hit it, her arms got burnt bad from the airbag. Month later, she decided to come down again in her new car. Lol Was even bowling not long b4 passing from Cancer. Tough Grammy.

[@Musicanimedork01]

That's brilliant, fuck standing

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

That would be brilliant for Kevin "Bloody" Wilson's mate Nigel! He could "reserve" a spot with his 1 flip flop - and even a second if he happened to ever find another 1! 🤣🤣🤣

[@garyleonardteacher5162]

So lobsters do walk, klaxon was a bit rude onto Alan.

[@jb888888888]

Alan deserves points not a klaxon for saying lobsters walk. "They do mostly walk but they do swim occasionally." Also it is my understanding that lobsters' handedness changes over their life time. They might start with one claw being dominant, but then they lose the claw and grow a new one. Meanwhile the claw they have left becomes their dominant claw, until they lose that one, etc.

[@spadebraithwaite1762]

I love learning weird shit like that. I'll need to hear it from a second source before I believe it, but I'm going to repeat it anyway,

[@GAGL.Evolution]

​@spadebraithwaite1762 Please 😊 just because something is repeated, it's not the reason to accept that thing as evidence, fact, thus worthwhile believing, for the MOST famous and obvious examples of things to NOT to believe is the all to often repeated gibberish on documents about fictional magic skymen U Know those stories 😢

[@Torjuz]

21:08 - I can relate so much to Alan at this moment lol

[@Gzeebo]

I don't understand why the UK would have this "stand on the right" custom. In Australia, like in the UK, we drive on the left so the right lane is the fast lane. It makes sense for the same to apply to escalators and stairs.

[@brotherfranciz]

I went to Japan last year and found out that they stand on the right in Tokyo. I then travelled to Osaka and they were all standing on the left... It was bizarre, particularly for a foreigner lugging a suitcase around and trying to remember which side to stand!

[@lexigrimhaive]

Yes, but almost all places in the world do NOT do that. Why would you think they do?

[@MetusalemSeSouffleur]

I know! That threw me off guard in London too. Makes no sense.

[@magicflounder6959]

What? Different places have different customs? No way!

[@avysark2034]

That's because you drive on the wrong side of the road.

[@andrewcordle2424]

I love this show - it’s spontaneously brilliant 👍❤️😄

[@Shelldamage]

They are not right by saying: The arrows are on the wrong side of the bow. In history most of the bow-using was with the arrow on the right side, not the left side. This picture is probably accurate!

[@avikash7620]

At 3:48 Jason sounds like Matt Berry 🤣

[@MultiMolly21]

I had a baby mini skunk I never got a clear picture of; without a flash; which means that between the shutter click and close, he was gone, left a gray blur for me. Otherwise he was quite tame and hung out on my shoulder, followed me around the house, just didn't like being photographed !

[@somegirl558]

Aww.

[@jeffmansfield914]

“It’s like synchronized swimming on your own!” Yes, Sandy, that’s the joke Aisling made a couple of minutes ago. 😜

[@Brinta3]

To be fair, she has a difficult job. Listening to four crazy people and responding to them, looking at her cards making sure that the segment has been satisfactorily answered and that she has said her texts, and then trying to think how to bring the show to the next section. There is also a producer/director giving instructions in her earpiece.

[@jeffmansfield914]

@@Brinta3 Yeah, I’m sure the jokes at the end of each section are pre-written. Aisling just organically got to it first.

[@Brinta3]

@@jeffmansfield914 That’s not what I meant. I believe it was a spontaneous joke, but Sandi is so busy in her presenting role that she accidentally repeated the joke.

[@jeffmansfield914]

@@Brinta3 Oh, no, I got you. I was just adding that bit about the joke being pre-written. There’s usually a little scripted joke at the end of a segment, before moving on to a completely new topic. That’s how it seems to me, anyway. It’s not a criticism; I love the show.

[@Brinta3]

@@jeffmansfield914 Okay, now I understand what you meant. Aisling improvised a joke that happened to be in Sandi’s script as well.

[@townview5322]

Take note: Stand on the left, in Sydney

[@Gerryjournal]

Interesting the London stand on the right thing. In Australia we stand on the left because we drive on the left. A bit arse about in UK?

[@cj8561]

it's because the London Underground was designed by an American

[@koenven7012]

You shouldn't inflate a life jacket on the plane, only when you're outside of it. That's in all the safety briefings and if you want to know why, look up the story of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961

[@brotherfranciz]

Yes! I thought Sandi was going to bring that up. You don't inflate the life jacket inside the sinking plane, as you will become buoyant inside the cabin and unable to exit the door.

[@GallerySpecter]

Is anyone else getting an ad every 4 minutes on this video or is it just me?

[@stevevasta]

I got no ads at all, and I was expecting them.

[@chrismanuel9768]

There's evidence that quivers were worn on the hip, the back, the thigh, or even just held in the hand. It was down to individual preference. Some modern archers just leave their arrows in the ground and pluck them out as they need them. Also, arrows can (and were) fired from either side of the bow. In fact, different fletchings are preferred for one side or the other. There's no correct side of the bow, no correct fingering position, and no correct quiver position.

[@thisravenhasflown010]

Just curious how you know what everyone did back then. Not sure how they think they know but curious how you think you do... since I can't ask them 😂

I once had an accident where the Driver's Airbag went off, and I ended up with Second Degree burns on my left arm and right hand. Those things can be really dangerous. I was not holding the wheel at the 10 & 2 position either, but more like 3 & 9, as was stated.

[@julianwaugh8221]

Best EastEnders Eva !

[@assettocorsaking]

they actually DID fire their arrows on the outside of the bow so the warriors depiction is accurate.

[@NekoMouser]

Anyone have a source on that lobster left-handed one? I tried looking it up and I couldn't find it anywhere. I found estimates ranging from 27ish% to 50%, but nothing near 10%, and certainly nothing definitive. Is it only for a certain species?

[@wiredforstereo]

Stand on the right, walk on the left. There are even signs in San Francisco Airport on the moving sidewalks (which are not on the side but in the middle).

[@stevie-ray2020]

It can be confusing for tourists visiting countries where cars are driven on the opposite side of the road to what they're used to, so those signs are helpful reminders. However, in many cities pedestrians these days just don't care about following convention!

[@othoapproto9603]

It's the lead in gasoline that made us a dumber. Look it up.

[@thegreyarea-WPP]

There's a study that shows a massive link between lead and violence. Violent crimes have been falling since unleaded fuels came into play in the majority of countries. Algeria, Iraq, Yemen, Myanmar, North Korea and Afghanistan are (I believe) the only countries still using leaded fuels. There's a lot to blame Thomas Midgley, Jr. for, from developing the tetraethyl lead additive to fuel, to Freon - chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's).

[@typacsk]

@@thegreyarea-WPP Was Midgley the one who ended up paralyzed because of playing with the wrong chemicals, and invented a "getting-out-of-bed-device" that ended up killing him? (If they bring it up in the episode, please disregard -- I'm only halfway through)

[@thegreyarea-WPP]

@@typacsk Yes indeed. I had forgotten this for a while so thanks for reminding me of it. He contracted and was paralysed by polio at the age of 51, something which usually only tends to occur in children aged 5 and under. Whether or not his creations are linked to his late contraction of polio are debated, but it is certain that his rope and pulley system, designed by him to enable others to easily lift and move him, was the cause of his accidental death by strangulation. To quote Bill Bryson from his book - A short history of nearly everything; "With an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny, Midgley invented chlorofluorocarbon CFC that is eating our ozone layer in the stratosphere and tetraethyl lead that spread devastation to human health by killing millions from lead contamination and increasing the lead content in our bones and blood 650 times the normal dose." If you've had the joy of reading Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, you might draw comparisons between Midgley Jr. and B. S. Johnson, though Midgley Jr. certainly contributed to more hige issues than any fictional character.

[@snoodles1234]

Almost perfect program, If Jason Manford was not on it.

[@MammaApa]

Stand on the right is a thing internationally aswell. Not everywhere, noone cares in the ten escalators the entire north of Sweden shares but go to Stockholm and this is law. I of course ride on the left in Stockholm escalators because I'm from Norrland, anyone in that much of a hurry planned badly and had it coming.
