Maybe it was during the last series, I honestly cannot remember?

Ok, so. I'm looking for a video/audio clip and I could use your help. In an XL episode of one of the earlier seasons (I think before F), Stephen Fry is talking about how ping-pong used to be called whiff whaff, and I'm reasonably confident it's Phil Jupitus who puts on a posh voice and says "Daphne, whiff-whaff?" I want to surprise a friend and make this as a ringtone for them, but I can't find it. Thank you for reading.

On Tuesday on bbc 2 there supposed to show a new episode of qi xl they didn't show it it was a repeat instead

He is repeating one of the panel's answers, and saying a single word is a funny way. He says:

___ as they say____ as it's known ____

e.g.

'Hetero' as they say 'sexu' as it's known 'ality'.

Something like that.

And it's a funny little throwaway moment, classic Stephen Fry showing off his verbal dexterity.

The word isn't heterosexuality. I can't remember what the word is.

Does anyone know what I'm referring to?

Think we could get Sandi to make a viral video of everyone famous she knows (including Tom Jones in a short dressing gown) to tell trump to fuck the fuck off? Would love to see that.

Just from the Episode that just aired. Definitely have use for them, so curious if they were ever posted online by the shows media team?

Any idea why it's not on tonight? We've got an episode from series U.

We have for a long time been conditioned to understand Alan’s buzzer = funny. Every time he presses his buzzer there is a round of laughs and applause. Sometimes I cant see anything discernibly funny about it or understand the link between the theme of episode.

It might just be me not getting it, but I put it forth that no matter the buzzer sound, or combination of buzzers it will be «funny».

Even if all the buzzers were a standard buzzer sound and they were all the same, there would still be laughs as Alan pressed it.

I remember Gyles Brandreth, Susan Calman & Alan Davies talking about them so I looked it up on YouTube. Idk if they're all on there but quite a few are. The one I watched (Carry On Camping) had a very "Three's Company" feel but it was cute.

Sorry if this question has been posted before. I searched but couldn’t find in this sub.

• Just a yank, dreaming of being in the audience one time before the show gets to Z 🤗

I can't remember what episode it was but it must have been N or O since she had just started hosting. I remember Alan got the shivers and said "Yeah you've got it. You're in the right chair." And the audience exploded and Sandi looked SO HAPPY! I wanna know which it is because I loved that moment.

Just curious, after seeing some the episodes where the laughs never, ever, stop coming! They're all usually really funny people, I don't mean to imply they need a drink to be funny.

Hello everyone… I (28F, American, Texan) have really struggled in the last few years. As a gen z but old soul, I’ve struggled to relate to modern media and overall structure of television today. I hate the writing, the lack of passion, the brain dead humor. American comedies just never have quite scratched the itch. Sometimes I enjoy Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I have always craved something scrappier, sillier, wittier. scripted made it hard to enjoy fully. Because of this, it’s been years since I’ve watched a show. I hate them, truly.. well, I did.

I have always enjoyed the wit of British humor, finding it so fun that smart people find the balance between silliness and sharpness. It does something for my brain to listen to British humor and its writing style (I’m a guilty enjoyer of Little Britain and the like…) and when I came across A Bit of Fry and Laurie, I was thrilled!! Then that led into reading Fry’s “Heroes” book, then listening to “mythos,” which I loved. Color me tickled that last night, I remember that I pay for the Britbox add on on Prime. Looking for something fun, I see Stephen Fry’s cute little face on QI and I decide to see what it is. Having no clue, I start the first episode…

Everyone in this thread, read me loud and clear. I, a young Texan woman, freaking love this show. I love everything about it. It’s scratching the itch of my desire to learn fun facts, listening to British humor, EVERYTHING. I do not care that I am late to the game, I am just grateful to stumble across such a gem. My life has instantly improved by finding this show- im not joking. New material to fact dump on my friends? Yes please. Watching Stephen be a silly little lad? Yes please. Y’all, I love this show. I’m only on episode 11 but I did stay up until 2am watching those 11 episodes. If anybody has other shows for me even close to this one, please tell. Just turned it back on, settled in with my knitting and the dog. Cant tell you how much I needed this during a stressful time. I type through genuine tears, Life is worth living. Love to you all.

This is the second time in a row where Reddit takes a post full of text and cuts it in half when I post it. GRRR.

Although there are a total of 16 episodes, remember that the final two will be "VG" compilation episodes.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Tue, 14th of Jan 9pm: Vices and Virtues XL (12/16)

Eshaan Akbar, Jo Brand, and Rhys James (first timer)

BBC 2 Schedule Page for Episode 12

--------------------------------------------------------------

Tue, 21st of Jan 9pm: unknown-title XL (13/16)

BBC 2 Schedule Page for Episode 14

--------------------------------------------------------------

Tue, 28th of Jan 9pm: unknown-title XL (14/16)

--------------------------------------------------------------

The two unknown episodes left are either:

• Vegetables
• (unknown)

No sources show the details of the unknown one, including this post on the subreddit.

At first I thought this would be the first full XL-first season, but last season was a full XL-first one too. I had to use The Wikipedia episode list to refresh my brain about air dates.

Another thought is that this will be the closest we've had to an unbroken season for a while. It seems like all of the recent ones had at least a couple of breaks (sometimes multiple weeks) in them. This one only has December 24th as a miss.

Featuring Sandi toksvig, Alan Davies, Josh widdicome, Rosie jones and Susan calmam, along with a LOT of lesbian innuendo, what did you all think of the newest episode

I'm back!

Last time I bothered you all, I was looking for references to feminism and gender equality in QI episodes for my theme on "gender equality" for my upper secondary classes. That worked out really well, and so I am back for more!

This time I am looking for episodes in which the British class system is either mentioned or hinted at, so I can create my own compilation. I'm thinking in particular of when Alan asked Stephen about the beer goggles and Phill went, "Stephen doesn't have beer goggles, he has madeira pince-nez!"

Alternately, an episode where the stereotypes of the different classes are visual or audible.

The video/compilation is to be shown in connection with a theme on contemporary British society, and the purpose is for the students to identify the stereotypes and discuss whether the markers identifying what class someone belongs to are still valid.

Thank you in advance!

I briefly worked at QI back in 2006 and recently found some mementos, I also have a copy of a production script somewhere (and a laminated card with all the door codes for the dressing rooms, production offices etc.!)
