QI a Great British Comedy
64
Learning through Comedy
This very British comedy is some of my favorite TV. In this panel show points are not so much given for right answer but also for interesting ones weather they are right or even relevant to the original question! Alternatively they have points deducted for answers which are not only wrong, but pathetically obvious.
A few of the facts: Allen Davies is the only panelist that is there consistently, Stephen Fry is the permanent host. The other 3 panelists are usually comedians tho I think there have been politicians as guests a few times. Regular guests include Bill Bailey (I love him!) and Phil Jupitus (I actually met him shopping at my local Waitrose). The guests to win the most is actually an american comedian Rich Hall.
I have added a sample video from utube so you can check it out! As well I will list below a few QI interesting facts below.....
- Every year, parks in London alone are doused in one million gallons of dog urine.
- Contrary to popular belief, if you swallow chewing gum it does not stay in the gut. Usually it will pass through the system and be excreted without incident. However, several cases have been reported where the gum has stuck in the rectum, causing the unfortumate sufferer to excrete long sticky trails of gum, like a pink spider's web.
- US lavatories are 100 times more dangerous then British ones. In 1996, 43,687 Americans were hospitalized after toilet disasters.
- Cornflakes were originally made to stop masturbation.
