Q.I. - crap or not crap?
I watched it last night for the first time in ages. Now I like Stephen Fry, but it was crap! Him showing of his huge general knowledge (with the help of a script!) the the panel members looking dumb and ignorant and making lame jokes while looking just a tiny bit uncomfortable.
Yes?

What's Q.I.?
"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it." ~ H. L. Mencken
"We ain't a sharp species. We kill each other over arguments about what happens when you die, then fail to see the fucking irony in that."
"It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion."

Re: Q.I. - crap or not crap?
It varies. Sometimes it's hilarious and other times it's meh. I usually learn something quite interesting while watching it though - for instance, last night I learned that between lions and hyenas, hyenas are more likely to hunt and lions are more likely to scavenge.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]

It depends on the guests. Mostly I find it to be entertaining, enjoyable, witty and often informative. I love Sean Lock, Alan Davies, that dry american guy, Ross Noble, as guests. Steven Fry is an excellent 'foil' to their disruptiveness and the whole thing just works, for me.

Yes. I couldn't recall his name and I couldn't be bothered typing 'that long haired little bloke that looks a bit like a gnome and is in Black Books' but now you made me do it. :sighsm:Normal wrote:I've never seen it, but I usually love Bill Bailey.

I love QI! But be careful. Sometimes they get their facts wrong. So double check them if you're going to use them.

Re: Q.I. - crap or not crap?
Absolutely. I remember one episode with Jonathan Ross as one of the guests. He clearly didn't getting with the program (too serious and self-centred) and was not surprisingly never asked back.stripes4 wrote:It depends on the guests.

Re: Q.I. - crap or not crap?
I usually enjoy it, sometimes a bit crap but mostly good, plus I'm rather fond of Stephen Fry and his big juicy brain. That voice too.. I don't care which way he swings, he's on my celebrity sex dungeon list.
Men! They're all beasts!
Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?
