1 Hour Of David Mitchell On QI! Funny Rounds

[@perplexedparrot9056]

Wow, a US president serving two non-consecutive terms. I'm sure that'll never happen again any time soon...

[@happy_labs]

If they keep this weird convention Trump is the 45th and the 47th president. Imagine going back to ~2010 to tell Stephen and the panel guests in this room that information, they would not believe it

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

​@@happy_labs I don't believe it, and I'm living it - along with you other unimportant people.

[@SecondSince]

David Mitchell AND Dara O'Briain together is just amazing! Some of my favorite comedians/panelshow guests!

[@cotybowman8825]

I love David Mitchell on this show and on WILTY. The first clip where they are talking about starlings brought back childhood memories of my dad. He was a Federal Agent that used to rant about starlings when they would poop on his cruiser. We lived in Tennessee, and he said they used to fly in from Canada to crap on his Ford Bronco he drove for work.

[@philbarrance]

i,m from london and it must be a dad thing because mine always reckoned the local pigeons would wait for mum to hang out the washing so they could shit in his vests

[@spadebraithwaite1762]

Somebody decided it was a good idea to introduce all the birds mentioned in Sheakepeare into America. They thought, Central Park, there's no way could migrate out of there! The owls all died but the sparrows and the starlings, prospered and spread, I wonder that didn't have the good idea of inroducing cats and rats onto Pacific islands.

[@spadebraithwaite1762]

An enormouse flock of starlings turn in a, "Murmeration" . I've seen it and it is something special to see. Look it up..

[@neekfenwick]

He's on the panel in all of the clips (I haven't personally verified this, but your own lack of awareness has bewildered me so I can't quite bother with the task, sorry) .. it's a panel show, with banter between all people involved. I feel the relevant point is that David had a contribution in every conversation featured in the video, not just 1 hour of David's fucking face for 1 hour, which would make far less sense when taken out of context.

[@WasabiDreams]

im so glad i found this channel i love QI. has to be my favourite panel show. The improvisation is stunning in most episodes.

[@tjjames9846]

[@kingraptor11]

​ @tjjames9846 My dad used to do audience for Qi and other british panel shows, he said they weren't scripted (apart from the presenter jokes ofc). But the comedians discuss each topic for around 20-30 minutes with most of it being unbearably unfunny (with a lot of fourth wall breaking discussion about joke setup), then it all gets trimmed down in editing. He said that Sean Lock, Micky Flanagan & Lee Mack, were the most impressive for just how funny + quick they were, which you can feel when you watch them. I remember him saying Micky Flanagan made a lot of really offensive jokes that never made the cut, this was back in 2012 and my dad isn't exactly pc, so I'd imagine they were pretty vile.

I went to the island of Tenerife in september 1989; to work in time-share at a resort called Island Village. The "owners" at the time were bragging that one of the co-investors was Ronald Biggs. Never saw him, of course, as Brasil was a much safer place to count left-over money than Tenerife was.

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

The huge flocks of starlings are called murmurations, so I guess a large group of Broadway stars named Ethel would be a "mermanation"?😉

Wait a minute, surely the "camel through the eye of a needle" thing is about the difficulty the rich man faces. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to give up his wealth. This is clearly hyperbole, of course, but the message is clear: if you are a wealthy person, you will find it extremely difficult-if not impossible-to willfully lose your wealth in exchange for spiritual fulfillment. ps. I'm a nihilist.

My interesting note on sleep. My Dad built me a cabin bed. I had a desk and school chair with wardrobe and so on. I was around the age of 10. I had this same dream now and then. It's an Indianna Jones style dream and chased by people. I end up going along a small path against a rock face. Then I slip and fall. In the morning. I woke up on the floor. It turns out that I must of moved towards the edge, thus triggering the dream sequence and then throwning myself out of bed. My Dad demolished it when he came in to wake me up and I hadn't put the chair back. He said I was faced up with my back over the chair. He took it apart the next day.

They may have realised that training pigeons to help bomb ships might have had a similar flaw to what the Russians discovered during WWII when they trained dogs to hide under tanks whilst carrying explosives. The poor dogs didn't know they were supposed run under the German tanks. Well just as one tank would look much the same as another, .....one naval ship would look much the same as another!

When did R Brydon Esq. become Australian? 34:27

[@LeeKav]

I was just listening to this and not looking at the video... I forget his name, but at 32:00 when he says, "starfish haven't got any brains," on first hearing I could have sworn it was Henning Wehn. How odd that his particular English accent, for some words and phrases, sounds so close to a German for whom English is his second language.

[@LeeKav]

He has a very particular inflection. It's in the way he says the word "brains," for example - he seems to have the same, or a similar, problem pronouncing the 'br' sound.

[@LeeKav]

I mean, he of course pronounces the 'R' as a 'W', like e.g. Jonathan Ross, which Germans also do. But it's not just that - Jonathon Ross saying the same word or phrase wouldn't sound so much like Henning. It's that combined with his accent and his sort of clipped way of speaking.
