"Give me a blowjob and a .45 and I'm good to go..."

I went to watch QI being filmed for Season F in London on Monday.

IT. WAS. AWESOME.

I dunno if I ever laughed so hard...

huh?
"What's QI?"
You kidding me, it's a TV quiz show...
you guys don't have it in the States?
dang.

Ok, let me give you an example.

Imagine "Whose line is it anyway"
(where you have 4 comedians competing against each other to see who is the funniest.
Now make those people Quite Smart
and give them questions to answer about random topics that seem really obscure and are "Quite Interesting".

Q.I

One catch, the common answer, isn't the correct one.

like:

"What did Niel Armstrong first say when they landed on the moon?"

if you'd say the "Eagle has landed" or "One small step" you get points deducted because that's not actually what he said.

Then eventually, you'll find out by watching the show what the true answer is.
And you can laugh at the celebrities for their comedic remarks, or lack of intelligence whilst becoming smarter yourself.

It's a brilliant idea.

And no-one wins anything, it's not for money.
Celebrities have enough of it, they're paid to be on the show, they don't need prize money do they?
lol
All they play for is to satisfy the curiosity within, whilst trying to avoid being the stupidest comedian on nation Television.
Whoever gets the most points, (and it normally ends up on minus figures) can go home with a smug grin. but thats about it.
It's merely for entertainment and informative purposes only.
But I mean, what do the guys on "Whose Line.." get out of their job?
Exactly.

Q.I has it's own philosophy, and it makes sense if you think about it.

An excerpt for those with ADD:
We live, they say, in The Information Age, yet almost none of the information we think we possess is true. Eskimos do not rub noses. The rickshaw was invented by an American. Joan of Arc was not French. Lenin was not Russian. The world is not solid, it is made of empty space and energy, and neither haggis, whiskey, porridge, clan tartans nor kilts are Scottish.
-Basically it's summarizing the difference between what we know and what we think we know.

Anyway, the show was great, I couldn't believe I was in the same room as Stephen Fry and Alan Davis.
I'd have humped Fry's leg, so what if he's gay? I'd do it just to say:
"My crotch, genius homosexual comedian/celebrity's leg. Beat THAT bitch!"

To beat that, you'd really have to have been a victim of Michael Jackson abuse. Or have had rampant sex with Eddie Izzard.
If you can state that with pride, however, then it wasn't abuse.

The "Warm-up guy" was great too, the dude who comes out before the show starts to keep the crowd entertained, and get them all fired up for the show.
C'mon, if no-one can find their giggle spot how are they gonna react when Alan Davis goes off about custard... AGAIN?

The warm up guy located it, wrenched it and shoved his fingers up at it and told us to fuck off at one point.
Of course that was shock laughter. I wasn't expecting to be told to fuck off, what a pleasant surprise.

He was trying to build up a rapport with the audience.
One audience member was a Chemistry teacher, and he go onto the subject of "favorite Element" and the history of the periodic table.
When people were all like "Get on with it!" he was all like: "Fuck off! You try Rap with a chemistry teacher!"
It was AWESOME!

And on the way home, me and the Possé of Darkness stopped off in Burger King for a snack, and while sitting at a picni table outside under the sky of smog (hey, it's London there weren't any stars!) there was this homeless guy who wanted to raise some money for a burger.
You know how you hate it when homeless guys ask for money?
Especially if you usually say:
"Get a job you bum!"
This guy did a great job.
Stand up comedy.
He wandered over, told 8 jokes or so and made us all "PMSL" ourselves.
I've heard lots of Irish jokes, I'd never heard these before.
And to top it off, the dude WAS Irish.
It made it so much more funnier.

And he wasn't expecting to get a cent, we could have easily just said "no" after he used all his best jokes on us.
We didn't, the guy was a class act, and he earned a meal at least.
I think three of us gave him a Pound each.
That SHOULD be enough.
If nothing, it's more than most would give.

And the guy was such a sport he gave us a few more parting jokes as he left.

What a great day.
