This clip is from QI Series Q, Episode 14, 'Queens' with Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies, Colin Lane, Sarah Millican and David Mitchell.

3:05 *_“Is that the sort of thing you're after?”_* It's rare to see David Mitchell laugh out of control like that.

[@john.premose]

Strangely, I didn't even so much as crack a smile during this clip. Not that anyone cares, but anyway...

[@peterclarke7240]

I care. I'm sorry you couldn't find any joy or merriment in any of this... Have you thought about, I dunno... Watching stuff you do find funny?

Sarah has a part in her comedy routine where she talks about her husband's toes. So funny. And here, David Mitchell physically recoiled at her mentioning it. Sooo funny.

[@john.premose]

I know, these comedians constantly pretend they don't say the same things over and over. It's like they don't realise they are recorded on filme and we can see them telling the same story for the 10th tide

[@chlorophyllheart]

@@john.premose They don't know who's watched them before. I'm certain there are people in the crowd that haven't heard the things she mentioned.

[@CBitsTech]

I absolutely love seeing very funny people (Mitchell) cracking up over things said by other very funny people (Millican). It must be the greatest compliment. Long live QI, 8OO10CDC, and WILTY!

[@homagetogorto]

Claudia absolutely losing it as Sean goes to the world championships is my favorite thing ever. "Make him stop speaking!"

[@youremakingprogress144]

Sarah Millican and David Mitchell are always wonderful.

[@cormacmacsuibhne2867]

I thought it was going to be a Portuguese Queen who was "gifted" a Brazilian native.

[@Clipperson]

Pretty much what I was thinking as well.

[@GOLDESCAFLOWNE]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@davidsp5936]

I was certainly thinking something slavery related

[@liamwalsh4008]

Yizz-ikes.

[@anncarroll2204]

That was so funny I am crying with laughter 😹

[@NewMessage]

Well. That was quite the mental image.

[@theinternetshavecome1640]

Weirdly, thanks to Civ 5, not only did I know this one but I even got it from the video title.

Funnily enough, I’m playing Civ v on the other tab

[@NickC-Ohio]

How does this come up in civ 5? I don't remember

[@readmylisp]

All good fun.

[@just-tess]

in the first portrait David looks more like the husband, definitely see the Marty Feldman too!

[@THEchiQ]

Oddly, the hunchback looks way more like David than the Portuguese lady.

[@TheGreatAtario]

I wonder if "to do coke with" would have drawn a klaxon

[@peterscopes8469]

No subtitles 😢

[@bluebillbo]

It's funny to hear Sarah talk about her "husband" because we all know who he is! 🤣

[@bobafetting6373]

What was the fingernail for?!?!?!

[@bobafetting6373]

Ah, found it: “At the royal palace of Versailles, the practice of knocking on doors to announce one’s appearance became very gauche. The alternative became scratching on the wooden doors with a fingernail. Specifically, the pinkie nail of the left hand was the official nail of choice.”

[@Beruthiel45]

​@@bobafetting6373Thank you. I was annoyed that they didn't include the answer in the video. 😉

[@ChainReactionsProductions]

@@bobafetting6373that makes more sense than my thought, I figured it was for snuffing tobacco (since a certain other illicit substance one snorts wasn’t en vogue at the time lol)

[@Auditore31]

​@@ChainReactionsProductionsprobably wouldve still gotten you the alarm lol

[@paulbrooks1978]

Which episode is this from?

[@ChrisWar666]

In the description. Queens

[@expressoevangelism80]

I think Freddie Mercury was probably the first in Queen to get a Brazilian.

[@LeornianCyng]

England, France, Portugal, Germany and the Netherlands have a lot to answer for tbh.

[@etrisb]

So, what IS the cup of coffee with the caramel on the outside? I'm as clueless as Sandy.

[@UmberGryphon]

When most people say "a Brazilian", they mean "a Brazilian wax", which removes unwanted hair from private parts. Presumably that caramel-like container is full of the hot wax they use for such things. (I do agree with David Mitchell that Cleopatra seems freaky enough to get a Brazilian wax.)

[@etrisb]

@@UmberGryphon I'm vaguely aware that some people do this sort of thing. Seems like a rather delicate area for hot wax. Ouch. Personally, I'd prefer caramel.

[@TWX1138]

@@etrisb wax is less risky than a yeast infection that results from body yeast finding a ready food source in the remnants of the caramel.

[@etrisb]

@@TWX1138 LOL. No. I'm not interested in removing any hair. I meant that I would rather have caramel for its usual purpose: Eating it.

[@john.premose]

​@@etrisbI read that as "personally I prefer camel". Not that it matters, just thought I'd mention it.

[@Bobblenob]

One big toenail for scratching yourself, there is no coming back from that.

[@AntonSamoylin]

So that wasn't caramel?🤔

[@DonMeaker]

Freddy Mercury!
