David Mitchell's war with the elves is one of my favorite running things in QI.

@nunyanunya4147 7 ай бұрын

with his vast intellect and smug posh hubritical posture you can tell he is living out his evil mastermind fantasies where the elves are an elite team sent to stop him. what we don't see is all the times he spins around in his chair petting something and glaring menacingly.

Unless you can get some of the old pros like Bill Bailey, David Mitchell & Co. on as guests, he’s really the only reason to keep watching now. The newer generation of British comics just aren’t as naturally funny.

@andrew7taylor 5 жыл бұрын

@@michaeldukes4108 - They weren't "naturally funny" either. If you see a performance by Bill in the 90s, he was very awkward and more painful than funny. Like any craft, it takes practice, a lot of practice to get it right. It's the same for the people growing up to be comedians nowadays.

@internationalrtg5602 3 жыл бұрын

@@michaeldukes4108 It’s because Sandi insists on having at least two female guests on every programme, and none of them are ever funny. Not to mention that offensive humour is basically barred from the BBC now. I’m no right winger, but this PC bs is ruining comedy.

@fredhasopinions 3 жыл бұрын

@@michaeldukes4108 not sure about that, there's a bunch of (somewhat) younger comedians like ed gamble that i find pretty funny at times, and I'm sure the younger generation is going to keep growing into their own styles. a lot of them are going to feel like old pros by the time they're 55 or so.

I thinking, Alan, sitting there, year after year, nailing the character of the Holy Fool, when the reality is he's invested thousands of hours and decades of his life participating in making QI the absolute cultural institution that it is within the English speaking world. It is said that Alan does no preparation but that cannot be so: someone like that is going to be integral to a television production in the days leading up to the shoot, and television production is not an easy thing to do. His really is an incredible performance.

The "Mad Hatterpillar" reminds me forcibly of an old lady who used to frequent Finchley Road, in London, back in the 1960s. She was always immaculately turned out, frequently in haute couture, but she always wore three hats, one on top of the other. I passed close to her one day and she said, to no one in particular, "And, do you know, she was the most despicable ladies' maid you EVER saw!"

I once captioned an entire video on this channel, years back (probably around the time OP made their comment). That's because many people, including myself, were struggling to understand it all, due to sound mixing. The word delivery being often slurred or too quick for being such quiet audio. I took it upon myself. Time passed, more videos were put up, and the captions I submitted still weren't applied. To this day I still don't know if they ever got used. I'd have to find the video again to know.
