Didn't expect to see Corey Taylor just chilling there 🤣🤘

You should make a compilation of guests getting the answer right by accident

Alan was talking about planes having a sun roof. They did actually do that to 1 of the Corcordes for a 1 off flight. Not really a sun roof, more of a couple of portholes in the roof. It was for a once in a lifetime event where the only airliner in the world at the time could keep up with the earths rotation, during the longest total solar eclipse ever in 1973 across Africa. It literally flew directly under the path of the Solar eclipse as it crossed North Africa. All sorts of special permissions were required for the flight and they miraculously got granted and it was allowed to take place. This gave them over 70 minutes of observation time apposed to the 7 minutes us ground dwellers had. I mean what a thing to be a part of and to have been on that flight!

9:11 Love this bit and how Jimmy piggybacks on Alan’s premise. The light whimsy of Alan and the diabolical wit of Jimmy mesh surprisingly well.

I'm glad this aeroplane compilation included the flightless aeroplane breeds too.

Corey Taylor??? 😮

Need a Best of Alan upsetting the Germans again with his French, Spanish, board European accent that always ends up sounding German and killing everything.

Corey Taylor?!!!! 🤘🤘 RATS!! I missed that episode! 😭😭

Still blows my mind Corey Taylor was a guest. My two worlds colliding.

The engines are working. ✔ The trains are making no sound. ✔ ....Kill The Birds!

phew I was beginning to run out of QI videos to watch

Can't stop re-watching the bird bit. Alan is amazing

Thanks to Qi for being such a super program when I started improving my English and when I studied English language.

So the best paper plane is a paper turbine engine? Neat.

Wow. Never thought I'd see Corey Taylor on QI.. now THAT is quite interesting...

Love the fact they used Left Bank 2 when they were making the paper planes. That and Stephen's voice just instantly made me remember Little Big Planet

It is missing Bill Bailey replying to Stephen's pilot food question "Now why do I say lunches?" to which he replies: BECAUSE THERE IS MORE THAN ONE

Aisling losing her composure at 4:48 is precious!

What the sketchy heck was that at the end of Sandi's outro?

1:56 one of my favourite QI moments of all time

I knew the last clip would be included. Another Mitchell classic.

The thing about the piston effect is that the redesign of the front of the Shinkansen was only a small part. Another of the innovations made was the inclusion of a canopy with slits cut into it at the front and rear of railway tunnels. This effectively disperses the wall of air that the train produces when it enters a tunnel.

Less than 300k subscribers... alot missing out on this comedy gold

5:13 Holy shit, that's that one song that's in LittleBigPlanet! The nostalgia!

You'd think they'd just finish the job and put a kingfisher on the nose of the train.

Sandie really is excellent isnt she. Credit to the BBC, it must have been very difficult to find someone to follow on from Stephen.

A massive guffaw from me, thanks!

2:01 king Alan makes his decree

I'm marathoning these videos, with the sole desire to make the last bit play out longer, so Sandi has to sit there and drink coffee ALL DAY. She's gonna be shittin' a river by the time I'm done! BWAHAHAHA!!!

About the brace position, straight from Wikipedia: _There have been myths surrounding the use of the brace procedure. One is that adopting the brace posture is only useful for preserving dental integrity for identification after a crash; another myth is that the position is designed to increase the chance of death to reduce insurance-paid medical cost. These myths have been debunked with evidence that the brace position "does indeed work to preserve lives in an air disaster."_

Alan is proof that comedy is both timing and execution

Is that Corey Taylor?!

Waiting for a squeal of delight from Sam from Wendover (Wendover Productions/Half As Interesting)....

I used to make circular planes for students when I substitute taught. It was always great fun.

Would have got further if they had just scrunched the paper into a ball and chucked it. Edit: I paused and typed my comment about 2 secs before DM said exactly the same thing.

The whistle has always baffled/confused me - Most, if not all rescues on land and at sea are performed by helicopters. The crew of helicopters wear ear defenders, plus headphones. So why provide something that no rescuer is ever going to hear.

Great talk gentlemen...

Yoooo I did not expect Corey Taylor to be there!

I'll watch this.. but I refuse to put my chair in an upright position.

They made a few round paper æroplanes when I was at the RCA Dome (inflated roof) in Indianapolis. From the upper deck you just held it up and let the air currents take it down.

“Kill the birds!” Alan is a Golgafrinchan

In the brace position, you aren't really supposed to put your head between your legs but against the seat in front of you (or whatever your head is about to crash into), so it hits it at the minimum speed.

Another reason you have to keep window blinds up during takeoff and landing is because thats when emergencey issues are most common so in the case of a bird strike/ Debris hitting the wing The pilots can't see much of the wijg from the cockpit so therefore window bl8nds are kept open during takeoff and landing so in the case of a bird strike or debris strike flight attendants can easily see out into the engines or onto the wings

Wunderbar

I’m fairly sure the tunnel/train part is at least partially wrong. The boom when entering/exiting a tunnel was also a problem in Germany (an ICE2 unit is shown) but the ICE3 units, which go faster, don’t have Shinkansen-esque noses. Instead, tunnel entrances (at least in Europe) have been modified along high speed routes to have openings that allow the air to disperse without making a boom.

Love that they always use Muji pens and notebooks

massive jaw drop. when the hell was Corey on the show?

David Mitchell also stars in the BBC series Upstart Crow as Shakespeare.

Quality video Ft. Corey Taylor!

8:50: Scully - 'Hold my beer'

Is alan davies a national treasure yet?

2:00 is just so perfect it's unreal

Was that Corey Taylor?!!! How the hell did I miss that?

COREY TAYLOR WENT ON QI?! WHAT

That was half as interesting

Forgot that Corey Taylor was on QI 😂😂

Holy shit Corey Taylor on QI😲

There WAS a plane with a sunroof, but it kept breaking in half at it. Any guesses which country had it, Alan?

5:14 little big planet flashback

After watching many of these episodes, I've come to the conclusion that Alan is in fact the host of QI

I must try the 'flying tube plane' with a golf hole cup when I get the chance.

Been looking for that "kill the birds" joke for a year now. Finally found

We have made a mind blowing discovery about aerodynamics! *Make it pointy!*

How. Did. I. Not. Know. That. Corey. Taylor. Was. On. QI?

@QI These videos will benefit greatly from subtitles! Still missing.

8:30 I swear Ricky Gervais has a joke exactly like that in Humanity

David Mitchell has seen Dave Allen skit about plane travel.

Aisling Bea is beautiful and funny.

Evolution: Can't breathe at high speed? Nope. Try this. Can't breathe? Nope. Try this. Can breathe? That's got it! The rest, die off now, we got this.

The plane whose take-off was delayed... I'm surprised that no-one mentioned lemon-scented paper napkins... :D

Ricky Gervais has a bit on the whistle blowing after a plane crash that sounds a lot like what David and jimmy were talking about

“Everyone gets a different joke!”

They had Corey Taylor on?

There so needs to be a soundproof box for babies on planes...

I find it ironic that music that was used in a game Stephen Fry narrated was used during the paper airplane section

Do these birds draw a commission, of course they don’t

"The engines are working, the train is making no sound; kill the birds!"

The holes are vents so they Don't smash

Is that the dude from Slipknot? :o

Falcons have baffles

Ducks feet need a question of their own?

7:32 Alan would not like Mark Rober

Steven Fry and that song, QI referencing Little Big Planet???

3:15 Yeah sex is good but have you ever experienced the buzz of excitement you get from knowing something that Sandi or Steven asks on QI that none of the contestants do

Does anyone know which episode the clip at 1:56 is from?????

I don't understand how they hadn't figured out a pointed train would be better than a flat one by the time the shinkansen was introduced. First, it's just common sense, and second, hadn't they already been making other vehicles with the same principle for years?

In Dutch kingfishers are called, ijvogels translated icebirds

Alan being a german fascist is hilarious everytime "kill ze birds!"

Sory hoooooooooold on, which episode was Corey Taylor on?? I don't remember that at all!

As if Corey Taylor was on an episode of QI 😂

If they want the blinds up on the way down, then why when I was flying with Cathay Pacific did they want them down while we were cruising mid flight at night?

their bloody siren is

They should replace windows with digital screens.

A paper using sellotape,,,, what ever next😊

COREY TAYLOR ?!?!

2:15 I don't know if it's just Alan being a prodigy, but the only entertaining thing during that entire segment was him and sandy. The other guests seem a bit bored like

Hi

Sun roof on planes? I prefer a glass floor!

That's a mean David Bowie tattoo
