07:16 the soft "bloody hell" by Bill Bailey is absolutely hilarious to me

Smaug being the richest creature ever to have been imagined by a human still not having half the amount of wealth that Jeff Bezos has is fucking madness

Phil Jupitus' reaction to the Santa question always makes me smile.

That rabbit that kept popping up in the winter scene was a March Hare. The question is, what was it and why was it so important to the Aztecs?

3:10 I honestly thought Sandi was going to say “it was one shilling to get in, one shilling to get out.”

You just can never now how much you want a hug from Stephen Fry until you watch a video of him giving one.

Pulling Santa off the list because he's real. That made me tear up a bit. That's so sweet.

QI over editing shows how much effort they put into their KZfaq channel unlike most other tv based KZfaq channels

I taught in one of the most dysfunctional school districts imaginable. We were NOT permitted to decorate our classrooms for Christmas. Sooo, being the cast iron beeotch I can be, I wrote a week-long social science lesson series on "Winter Solstice Celebrations Around the World". I had a display table with a pair of sabots, a gonfalon, a St. Lucia's wreath, a driedel, and many other outward symbols of winter solstice celebrations world-wide. Each had a 6 x 8 card with a brief history/description explaining the piece and its cultural relevance. And, yes, I had an artificial tree with lights and ornaments the children made from the various cultures' celebrations and a holly wreath. No mistletoe ball, though--the students were only seven years old.

Noel in the Christmas episode looks so handsome. The sideburns were fabulous.

Some say the rabbit/ hare is still running around the QI studio.

They're getting so much milage of that image of Alan pointing.

I'd give just about anything to get a comforting hug from Steven like that...

Santa is real! *NOT THERE* *MIRAAAAAAAAAAGE*

That Xylophone/Bass rendition of Jingle Bells is awesome! Plus Steven is too pure for this world

Loved the smile on Jupitus' face at the end there :D

A merry merry thankyou to all at QI, May you continue beyond the alphabet.

that ending is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen

Jo charges into klaxons with such great relish, doesn't she?

My mind gets completely blown watching Noel wearing such a homy knitted sweater, and also rockig a haircut that might suggest he has a job.

The running animal was one of Sean's best.

Says "Merry Christmas from Sandi and Alan". First clip is hosted by Stephen. Well done, QI elves.

“There have been more office parties year on year”. 2020 and 2021 hold me pint.

Regarding what to do with used Christmas trees...San Diego runs a recycling program. For several days after Christmas, residents are urged to bring their trees to stations the city sets up, and, as I recall, the trees are run through chipping machines, and the chips are put in the composting program that is run at the city landfill.

A snake maybe an odder thing to find in a photocopier than a cat, but it’s certainly an adder thing

Rich Hall's "quick" wit :D

Thank you ,so much laughter xx

6:17, I didn’t know James May , hosted

At Halloween 🎃,the bears in the zoo LOVE everyone's pumpkins.

Tinsel in elephant poop made me chuckle. The last year I had tinsel was the first year I had a cat🤣🤣

that intro just woke up my entire neighbourhood

5:39 - 5:43 Actually my favourite answer in QI history. That's so brilliant!

I like the Christmas themed costumes.

Thanks you for this. The very first episode of QI I saw was the one with the rabbit. I got laughing so hard that my landlord knocked on my door to see that I was laughing at. I have been looking for that clip for ages now.

that Barry McGuigan never seems to get any older

I keep my Christmas tree up ALL year EVERY YEAR!!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you :)

My small town in mid Illinois took told us two different dates for pick-up of trees. The early day(first week in January) was for putting the trees around the snow piles in the 'valley' to slow the flow to the creak thus slowing the flow of melt water. The next pick-up was late February of more usually March to toss in the 'old lake'. Those were to provide water habitats for bluegill eggs.

So if Santa is off the fictional rich list because he's real... Surely, he should be topping the actual rich list? So either the question is wrong, or Forbes isn't interested in keeping their story straight.

[4:29] I love it when I’m giving a smartass guess, and then Jo Brand says the exact same thing. Bonus points when we’re right. lol

Jo Brand is actually Queen Victoria

Stephen Fry is just a delight.

Thank you

I slowed the playback speed to 0.5 to catch what Alan saw on the background, and they sounded like a lot of the stoner's sessions I've sort of remembered..

So much to like here! Except...did they ever identify the little runner?!

this is a good typping test of what is not a fast keyboard, but i love this show.

Scrooge is richer than his enemies thoo thats bs

9:33, if tears did not well up as Phil runs to Stephen for the reassuring hug, YOU ARE DEAD INSIDE. or at least from the neck up. I want that welling up of overflowing Joy, every breathing moment for the rest of my mortal life on Earth.

Damn! Why does Noel look so handsome suddenly?!?

It was the Gaffer that invented the ice!) Cariad would love that refference) btw i (can not imagine who would not) have a huge crush on cariad!!!)))

NOEL FIELDING DRESSED AS A SUBURBAN DAD

COPY CAT. That's 10 points to Rich Hall. Again.

RIP Sean Lock

Why is this show not a thing in the States? Wait...what?!? Finding a nearly unlimited supply of intelligent, pithy, and good natured celebrities? Never mind.

Alan's been on the naughty list...

They obviously haven’t read their Duck Tales comprehensively. Scrooge is WAY richer than any of his competition. To put perspective: in the story where Scrooge started losing one billion every minute, he expected to go bankrupt in 600 years.

Santa is real but the sun is a mirage.

When is it going to be SIR STEPHEN FRY

The tinsel thing was cool.

Jesus Christ. Jeff Bezos had more than 3 times the estimated net worth of a fucking gold hoarding dragon!

Wait...what?! Since WHEN did glomgold overtake mcduck as the richest?

THE BLUE WHALE

Stephen Fry: He [Santa] was taken off the list for a very simple reason... Me: Operation Yew-tree?

Cariad wore the hell out of that paper hat

One of my favorite Phil Jupitus moments ever. (Is his family the Jupitii? Hm.)

Doris was one of Joseph wives with Ruth, Sarah and Mary. That's Christmas trivia for you. Name Joseph other wives. That stumps a lot of people.

If Santa isn't real, then who brings the presents on Christmas morning?

"Santa is real!" Next recommended video: L Series Episode 10: Lying

Im just imagining like a dog eating tooth floss, and having it go in the mouth and out the other end, but instead with a elephant and tinsel

When did James May start hosting the show?

Five xmas trees for the elephant and then next morning a yule log.

Saint Nikolaus /Nicholas WAS real, he was the former bishop of Myra, Greece, before he died and was later canonized as a saint. He is the patron saint of selfless giving, the patron saint of children, and because his story overlaps with the story of a possibly fictional orphan turned thief character from Germany known as Kris Kringle, he is also the patron saint of thieves.

A _Glaciarium_ Ooooh! @.@ Hey now, that's a _much_ more classy name than an 'Ice Rink'! Come on! Bring back the Glaciarium! 3:08 😸_👍

That rabbit zipping by was a QI Paige trying to find a fact for which "Blue Whale" was the proper response. Poor Alan. (Even his name was spelled wrong on his birth.)

But why isn't Scrooge on the list though? Flintheart Glomgold isn't richer than him.

Can I ask at 6:00 if that's a wig on Stephen (I hope it is)

Winterval? Okay, so duckducked it, and... Birmingham. Of course, the mathematical logic is undeniable 🙃

4:00 party hats phats

Random suggestions for 2020 Christmas 🎉 Party's !! Shall we start this 📋 *list with., 🤔, 1)., Everyone to *cos-play ., Queen Victoria ., Ironman, or Scrooge McDuck !? 2). Letting loose a wild hare, to *Dash about ?!?

I think they vastly underestimated the dollar value of Smaug's hoard.

That Forbes list is not correct. Scrooge is richer then Flintheart. That was one of the plot points of the comics and cartoons involving Scrooge McDuck.

I miss Sean Lock SO much !

alan losing all ability to focus over the cyclist going across the screen xD

I love being in the real world where there are several people several times richer than the richest being people can imagine.

Why did they take the shows off KZfaq? I can't afford the cost of it on cable. I'm in mourning.

All I hear when Brendan speaks is Mrs Brown!

Maybe it was just saying notice??? 3:15

Everytime I see clips, I always assume they're outtakes from the actual show; (a talkshow?).

Mmmm tortilla chips. In lard

A workmate came up with the Birmingham Winterval myth, again this year. He was telling a workmate about it, but coincidentally, she was going to Birmingham for Xmas shopping, that very weekend. So I said to her, that seeing as she was going to be there, to have look with her own eyes. Try and guess what she actually saw.

Noel is looking hot with that outfit, and with that hair cut.

The late bernard manning on the right....

SF looks like James may.

What you need to make ice is water surely

In Taiwan, hotels and shops etc do shove their christmas tree in a bin bag with all the decorations still on and kick it into a storage room until next year, when it gets dragged out looking predictably disheveled. Mafia stitches have emerged from trunks looking more robust.

When they started on animals, I was sure this would be about Christmas Stalkings.

Question, Why is Scrudge Mc Duck not above Glomgold?

lol snow hear

6:55 New presenter Richard Herring..........
