QI XL Full Episode: Rude | Series R With John Barrowman, Aisling Bea and Phill Jupitus

[@brewerbrian420]

"Oh, I'm absolutely riddled with chlamydia" Phil Jupitus had me in tears.

[@warriorbard]

Alright, I need John Barrowman and Aisling Bea to do a double act stand-up gig because they were *hysterical* in this episode. They played off of each other so well. I was in absolute stitches watching their antics. 🤣🤣🤣

Barrowman playing Daleks with the shuttlecocks was hilarious !

I think this is one of the funniest episodes of QI I've seen. John and Aisling were a perfect pairing. I'd love to see them work together again.

[@ghomerhust]

both are brash and quick, and that makes for exciting comedy. laughed incredibly hard this episode

It was great from start to finish. I love Phil Jupitus' random crazy outbursts as well

[@burner-is5pf]

She’s not that funny. She’s just good looking. She tries, but out of all the Irish women I’ve known, she’s definitely the least funny.

[@Harkeilla]

Agreed. She's a lovely woman

Equally you can see how insanely unfunny Phil Jupitus is! I mean just because his daughter woks on QI, do they seriously have to drag him on every episode???

This must be the 4th or 5th time I've watched this episode because it is so hilariously funny! John and Aisling are marvelous together. And Phil is a favorite; he's not only extremely funny, but I love it when he flirts with the host. He did it with Stephen and he does it with Sandi and it's hilarious!

The way to deal with children questioning rules is to explain why the rules are in place. If you can't explain, maybe remove the rule. Of course some children may not be willing to listen, but the point is to try. It is better to teach reasoning than obedience.

[@guns102]

You can put chopsticks across the top of the bowl if they are not crossed. When crossed it still resembles the passing of bones so it is frowned upon, but I see tons of Japanese people putting the chopsticks on top of the bowls at the end of the meal. The Chopstick rests are actually also extremely uncommon outside of touristy places, they favour using handtowels or simply nothing, as they expect you to leave them on the tray.

This is hilarious. Some of the regulations put into place by the BBC came as a result of some of the songs from Al Bowley in the 1920s. "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes" is always a great song.

An early 20th century Australian comedy duo Stiffy and Mo, had a routine where one would write an 'F' on a chalkboard and ask the other what letter it was, only to be told it was a 'K'. to which the original questioner responded , How come every time I write F you see K?

[@ArminGrewe]

So the term "road rage" was invented in 1988. And exactly a decade later Catatonia released their song "Road Rage". Strange the Phill Jupitus with his Never Mind The Buzzcocks history didn't mention that. I wonder if I qualify for 5648.32546 QI points now for this quite interesting (or maybe not) fact?

[@smeggeruk]

It was coined at some point between 1987 and 1988, possibly as early as the 20th June 1987 when Rick Bynum was murdered for "going too slow in the fast lane" by another driver or after any number of similar incidents that occurred after that. KTLA was the TV station believed to have coined the term, though I can't find specifics. Road rage, by Catatonia, was released on 20th April 1998...so not "exactly" a decade later, even allowing for some margin of error. So, no points for a quite interesting response, as it's factually incorrect (or at least uncorroborated). They might have started writing it exactly a decade later, but the name of the song refers to a murder in December 1996 where the murderer claimed a road raging motorist attacked when it was actually her who had done the deed...the name was merely coincidental.

[@amanekabbaj]

IIRC India also has a strange relationship with UTC. Geographically, India straddles two time zones but the powers that were wanted the whole country to be on one time so they split the difference; half the country is 1/2 hour ahead of everyone else in that time zone and the other half is 1/2 hour later than everyone else in their time zone.

The explanation for the Polish national poem isn't really correct. Adam Mickiewicz was ethnically Polish, but born in Lithuania. At the time Lithuania and parts of Poland have been absorbed into the Russian Empire - he was a fierce independentist and got exiled by the Russian authorities. He wrote his epic poem "Pan Tadeusz" while living in Paris - the opening lines don't express the Poles missing the Lithuanians, but the poet himself longing for the lands he couldn't return to. (He never saw his homeland again and died in Istanbul while helping organise Polish and Jewish troops to fight against Russia in the Crimean War.)

10:58 John Barrowman playing Doctor Who with jelly babies and shuttlecocks! Funniest thing ever! I know in the 1950's it was rude to talk about reproduction on TV which is why Lucy's pregnancy on "I Love Lucy" was a such a gamechanger. Not to mention the first interracial couple on TV! An American married to a Cuban? "Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do!" You know people in the 50's were doing the deed, it just wasn't talked about on TV. Where do you think all these boomers came from? Some of this stuff reminds me of the anime "Shimoneta" which takes place in a world without dirty jokes. Some crazy sh!t happens on that show!

Great. This show is the OPPOSITE of social media. On social media, a picture of a sign was posted without any context, saying "No chopsticks passing sushi in our restaurant, this is the proper etiquitte" along with rules about eating [omakase-style] sushi quickly (this is so that the chef doesn't have to wait to serve you the next piece as they're prepping the next dish for everyone to be served all at once together) and the majority of Americans in the comments replied "Fuck that, I'll eat them how I want, what a silly culture/ridiculous people." This is because most of them are used to American sushi, which is a large dragon boat of 30 sushi pieces at once, a very different experience.

The MOON takes a bit over 28 days to return exactly to the same phase and illumination. This MATTERED before artificial lighting outside. Thus, Fortnight = 14 nights, as about 1/2 the time nights are bright enough to walk about in nature without tripping. There are nearly EXACTLY 13 months in a year, and the 12 month error pisses me off, as it is totally inaccurate. Female human oestrus etc. may have tracked the moon phases NOT the other way, so their arrogation is incorrect. (After being cheated on by 3 females who could not resist others, i lived with a natural wolf, who had both the love and loyalty completely absent in human females, and whose preference for cold and night teaches much about sensory capacity and moonlight in untracked environment. He was FAR cheaper than the women who take everything and cheat)

Oh man the Mona Lisa. I went to the Louvre on some weekday in September and there were dozens and dozens of people queueing up to it, shoulder to shoulder. What did most of the people do after coming to another country, paying for tickets and queueing for an hour do once they got to it? Take selfies or pictures. I just think that's mad. I mean, there are countless photos of the Mona Lisa available online whenever you want to see it. Why not take that time and actually just look at the painting?

[@ankyfire]

Imagine those people, who went to another country, paid for tickets, queued up... And then, months later, they can look at their selfies taken in the museum, reminiscing the great time they had. As long as they're not in anyone's way (too much - as everyone is in someone's way in the Louvre), let people experience museums however they want. Taking pictures might enhance someone's experience - and it's ok.
