    I just started reading David Mitchell's memoirs as it turns out. I am of course reading them in his voice.

    nawwwwwww

    fun fact! I read and enjoyed both The Gunseller (Hugh Laurie novel, ending sucked a bit) and Making History as well as The Hippopotamus and The Liar before I ever had any sodding idea about who those guys were.

    the book shops where I used to buy my English language books were a lot more sophisticated than I was back then.

    I love QI. I discovered it recently and have been going on a tear through episodes on YouTube.

    Good god this show is amazing. Everything about it is wonderful.

    Does anyone else love the weird way Jimmy Carr laughs?

  • pookapooka Registered User regular
    it is actually a frequent comment on the videos. it is a magical laugh.

    ...don't ask me why i read youtube comments, but the QI comments are usually safe!

    Geek, i have this money order sitting on my counter, where it has been for weeks. i don't even know, man.

    I think the laugh being so great has something to do with his general facial expressions and his type of humor in that it's usually so blank faced and deadpan that when he laughs it's just so contrary to his typical way of being.

    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.

    he's been islamophobic/anti-religious and supported Dawkins on some awful stuff

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    yeah the islamophobia is the main thing

    his critiques of the catholic church are all pretty spot-on, from what I know

    I love QI

    and I love Would I Lie To You

    And I love The Unbelievable Truth

    and I love Was It Something I Said?

    so while this is primarily a QI thread I just want to re-emphasize that David Mitchell owns bones

    Basically every Quiz Broadcast with David Mitchell is pretty good.

    8 out of 10 Cats is probably my favorite regular game show thus far.

    also, Big Fat Quiz of the Year obvi.

    Richard Ayoade needs to be in more things

  • scherbchenscherbchen Asgard (it is dead)Registered User regular
    so, favourite QI quests?

    David Mitchell is #1 on that we can all agree I suppose. number two and three slots go to Jimmy Carr and Rob Brydon then?

  • GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
    Phil Jupitus is consistently fantastic and a close second to Mitchell

  • FyndirFyndir Registered User regular
    I really appreciate Sandi Toksvig

    Toskvig?

    Tovskgigigkigk?

    However you spell her weird foreign name. She's great.

    I don't think they've made a super-huge number of appearances on QI but Sarah Millican and Sue Perkins are delightful.

  • SomestickguySomestickguy Registered User regular
    Sorry but for once I heartily disagree

    I don't think I've ever enjoyed Sarah Millican

    I'll confess to having a bit of a crush on Sue Perkins. She is always fun on the show!

    my top three are David Mitchell, Dara Ó Briain, and Bill Bailey.

    i also really like Rob Brydon, Sandi Toksvig, and Phil Jupitus.

    i like Jo Brand, but she does a lot of husband jokes, and something about Sue Perkins is off to me, maybe her timing? but she's funny enough. Jimmy Carr, too. Rich Hall is just too weird for me, but i do enjoy the rare crack in his persona.
