Why Are There Holes In This Toad? | QI

that "yeah he does" came *immediately* lmaooo

[@QuanTumm1357]

As did she by the sounds of it

[@Harambae613]

Thank heavens Bridgit Christie wasn’t on the panel.

[@snicklefritzsnicklefritz5069]

Truly, didn't she freak out twice in one show previously? Hence the trigger warning. Trypophobes beware!

[@danielnoriega5200]

I have to assume this was after the fact and they remembered it happened twice

[@JustinBakerDeDav]

@@snicklefritzsnicklefritz5069 I thought it was two separate episodes lol

[@Elriuhilu]

Practically all "trypophobes" I've come across were very obviously faking it for attention.

[@WhatTheFirstAidSpray]

She would have been fine, she has tryophobia, not trypophobia so it's all good 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@PercivalC]

Hannah Waddingham - what a rocket! Funny too!

[@minicle426]

Because Rat, Mole, and Badger had finally had enough.

Toad in a 6 foot hole?

[@marycanary86]

@@brianm6337 its not a hole once you put all the dirt back in

[@youremakingprogress144]

They learned from Bridget Christie to warn people. I love Desiree so much.

[@TK_Brainslug]

After watching this clip I watched the actual episode and it was hilarious

[@76ToneCrome]

I remember from a QI from years back: In Hollywood films, when you hear a frog or toad go "ribbit," it's always a frog that's native to Calafornia because they're the only frogs that make that sound. So when we hear frogs in films set in South America, some sound recordists have just gathered sounds from local frogs.

Meanwhile, Velociraptors are just Tortoises having fun.

[@frazzbo64]

The toad exodus looks coordinated, like synchronised swimmers: one arm up in the air...

It's to hide the sausages in of course... :P

Why Are There Holes In This Toad? | QI 1324pm 27.12.24 Trypophobia and the Fear of Holes is not so much a fear as a hatred of this phenomena... that frog which rests the fertilized eggs upon its back is pretty much the height of the irritation we have come to know as trypophobia....

[@stone5against1]

Surprisingly, watching the babies emerge was the least disturbing thing they showed in the screen, it was actually "cute" (ok.. Cuter than expected.. But still weird)

[@JobiWan144]

They really should have set it to some pretty music to make it feel more amazing

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@JayB9127]

People are enormous! 😂

[@kingoftadpoles]

I saw this beastie featured in an old wildlife of the world book, ages ago. It wasn't even a photo. I don't think I actually saw one until it was featured on QI.

[@flamencoprof]

Not mentioned was that the eggs hatch into tadpoles under the skin and remain there until emerging as small but fully-developed toads.

[@aspilurch]

Oh, so they multiply like Gremlins, cool.

[@krissp8712]

Looks like a crumpet, that's creepy!

[@QuanTumm1357]

I was expecting that to be disgusting but it was actually quite cinematic lol.

[@sandrosliske]

There is some other footage of the toadletts coming out and it can get a wee bit gross.

[@romulusnr]

I'n't that in Sheffield? Oyl Int Tuwad?

[@NewMessage]

Well, turnabout is fair play.

[@MH_Binky]

Because that is how a frog do.

[@sandrosliske]

Ze Frank is how I heard about this disgusting creature.

[@filmsociety1311]

Surprised Bridget Christie isn't on the panel 😂

[@cormacmacsuibhne2867]

I suppose that means they're the only frogs that don't spend any time as tadpoles.

[@AndrewTBP]

There’s lots of freaky frog reproduction strategies.

[@branbroken]

They do, just the tadpoles development is confined to within the holes.

[@person.probably]

Pipa toad!

[@ShinyHappyGoth]

Ah, the miracle of birth.

Greetings fellow trypophobs, welcome to the comment section. No don't scroll back up.

I thought it was called Toad In The Hole, not Hole In The Toad. I have so much to learn about the UK.

Why Are There Holes In This Toad? | QI 1320pm 27.12.24 have you heard of the wild man of the woods playing his home made reed pipes...?

What happens if grossly obese people make you feel sick? Don't start with that body positive crap. May as well do cigarette positive too.

[@dragonsdynamite6403]

It’s not a thing. People are just making up things to get pity.

Imagine the hate someone would get if they were to say that people the size of Desiree should come with a trigger warning.
