I am very dissappointed with all of you. there is no current QI thread!
what is QI you might ask and I am very happy you asked. QI is a comedy panel quiz show. lots of those around. how did QI manage to stick around long enough to have recently entered season eleven?
one reason is that QI stands for quite interesting. it is badly named though and should have rather been called Quite Entertaining, FUCK (please call me BBC). the premise of the show is to ask the questions most of us kind of think we know the answer to because we got told the answer ages ago in high school or read in some magazine (back when they still made them) or on cracked.com..... the twist is that all of those things you believe you know are shockingly incorrect. the bonus is that contestants have to strive to be funny rather than right.
not good enough for you? alright, we are negotiating here.
QI is hosted by this guy:

somebody somewhere might recognize that guy.
if you have any interest in British comedy/comedians or in fun at all or even just in science while having no sense of humour at all this is a show that is for you. though I appreciate people who are against fun.
QI airs on the BBCs but is readily available on the youtubes where you will even be able to enjoy full episodes.
speaking of the youtubes I would be doing my job of fanboying all over that show very poorly if I did not give you some theyoutube clips of what you can expect.

splendid, I am becoming more British as we speak! my plan is paying off!
But even apart from that QI is just so fantastic.

nobody is as hilarious at making fun of us as die QIs!
Nah. It's me.
Stephen Fry is pretty good though.

or let's be honest, David Mitchell. who could blame you?
but I do not like his stance on religion one bit
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
personally I find atheists to be just as aggravating as theists. atheists tend to leave my private parts and my eating habits alone though so I don't mind them as much.
much of the time
The transphobic stuff he has said is pretty not great either.
But, more often than not he is enjoyable to listen to.
But sometimes... sometimes not so much.
well, ain't that wonderful

I was like
really?
No.
Agreed, he talks openly about how poorly trans folks are treated. I can't see him as transphobic.
aside: the 10 o'clock news was fairly entertaining.
I don't know if he is like, actively transphobic or if he just hasn't given some of his opinions on some matters much thought.
But during one bit on QI he was talking about "ladyboys" and how some blokes are very convincing and can easy trick men.
It was pretty bad. Probably coming out of a place of ignorance rather than malice, but still bad.

Ah, perhaps I am just behind the times then. Also, the internet being what it is, old news sometimes can feel like it isn't. It may have happened three years ago, but I watched it for the first time a lot more recently than that. That said, if he has improved his opinion on the matter since then than, well, all is forgiven. Because really that is all you can reasonably ask of a person, that they learn.
and agreed. people evolve.
No he was not. But, as now pointed out, it as something quite in the past and pretty much all just water under the bridge now.
Which makes me happy, as I generally quite like Stephen Fry.
I especially love his views on language, and how language evolves, and how ridiculous people who try to fight against the change of language are.
This is probably my favourite David Mitchell moment.
fair enough. happy you did not stick to your initial point of view. I love these forums.
speaking of Fry and language, this one is very close to my heart:
posh bashing
is fucking hilarious
probably the best person at it is Jeremy Hardy though
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
I mostly agree with him there, but there's a part of me that cannot accept people using "of" when they mean "have"
