I liked how QI in its first season or two mixed in some non-comedians, like Gyles Brandreth, the ex-MP with an eerie knowledge of everything
It wasn't noticeably less funny, it was sometimes more interesting, it gave the comedians a straight man to play off of and perhaps most importantly it leavened the clubhouse sensation of these panel shows all having the same roster of guests
it's composed by howard goodall, who has made some cool documentaries for channel 4 on music history. Except for the one on christmas carols which was boring

I saw him in plymouth a few years ago and was delighted to be chosen to explain that whelks have the largest genitals relative to body size of any creature

And who was on an early season of QI, and who was indeed quite interesting if I recall correctly
I was going to say something about being wary of the accuracy of some of the facts on the show (especially the older episodes) but the most recent one has a bit about exactly that

and Alan Davies got some much needed points back for that!
btw I love the bit in the Making of QI part where he realized around series 3 or so what his part was and then refused to play along for a bit. then he said fine, I'll be that guy and please keep sending me checks and I'll just have a good time thank you very much.

Somehow, most of the time when they end up making dirty jokes, they don't sound as salacious on this show.

And I just realised there may have been moments in my life where I watched something where I thought Rob Brydon was in it but it was actually Ben Miller.
Yeah they do tend to have some history facts which while not made up are sort of the craziest possible interpretations put forward, presented as complete fact. But they often end up correcting themselves down the road, and the mess ups are never of the purposefully harmful sort, so eh

The trick with the Queen on the note isn't quite as good as the trick we do with her on the $5 note we have in Australia. You fold in the right way and she turns into a whale sucking a dick.
The more I watch QI the less it becomes a panel show and more a classroom with the comedians a bunch of rowdy teens and fry as their bemused and sometimes reluctant teacher

As much as I love the Acropolis clip and it will never not bring me to tears from laughter, I have to say that I am always incredibly delighted by Rob's "It's not four, it's three" joke.
Every time.

What I love about the Parthenon segment is that it was so blatantly designed to mess with David Mitchell but Johnny Vegas took the bait instead.

I mean, I think it's fine but you just know that if they did a US version, it'd be some kind of silly dramatic actiony music.

I should have known that the rank, unapologetic Britishness of this thread would be enough to draw you out of the woodworks.

I really liked the episode this clip is from

half an hour of qi just isn't enough for me anymore, I need that extra 15 minutes
