This clip is from QI Series D, Episode 13, 'December' with Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Jo Brand, Rich Hall and Dara Ó Briain. - Zábava
To avoid confusion he said the queen "has a wank". We were at the recording, myself mother uncle and cousin!!! 😂😂
Thanks. When I saw the video title my first thought was "have a shit" so when Alan got bleeped I thought that was it
Why did they bleep that? Is it because of the queen herself?
I bet that was awkward
I thought it was 'shit' as well. Now that changes the entire context. Especially Stephen's reaction!
You were? Fantastic! What a funny response Alan had.
I love how Stephen delivers the "No... because they're all fucking Germans!" line
I heard that line as they are all having intercourse with Germans. That's even worse!
I love the idea of Stephen Fry being so important that his Christmas tree is decorated by the Queen, with the hell of Prince Charles. Just the idea makes me giggle.
That's how you know you're _really_ posh.
I PMSL at that comment, the though of the Queen popping round to decorate Stephens Xmas tree.
You must write hell a lot for it to be the default when you write help.
I think A queen decorates it.
Well Stephen said he genuinely gets his Christmas tree from the same place the Queen does. Her Maj decorating it for you is presumably one of the benefits you receive when you become a national treasure.
Stephen's reaction -- "Do they?!" -- is simply priceless.
As is Jo's comment. "What, your tree?"
"They're all fu****g Germans" has got to be one of the funniest things ever said on this show... Perhaps on television.
In fact the Queen is not German but half Scottish. He mother being Lady Elisabeth Bowes- Lyon of Glamis.
@Michael Moretti Philip's mother was the princess of Battenberg, but Philip, being a royal, had no surname. He took his surname from his maternal uncle, Dickie Mountbatten
What's wrong with being German? Bit racist shirley?
@@SingRaduga Woosh
@Michael Moretti No, his original name was Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Battenberg was his mother's name.
Stephen did commercials for Twinings for a long time. That's why the reference gets a good reception.
thank you, i was missing this context here
QI is the greatest panel show ever
Can someone please explain the alarms that go off at some of the phrases?
It's when someone falls into the trap of giving the obvious / wrong answer, the sirens blare, the answer flashes and they lose points.
Erik what are you even on about
It is what goes on in my head constantly lmao
It's not the same since Fry left
This is the only time I've ever heard the QI audience scream with laughter so abruptly.
No-one on this program is ever going to get a knighthood after this
TheHutchy01 lucky them fuck wanky titles
I would like Steven to at least be acknowledged for a knighting, even though I suspect he would decline the offer.
@@smoogirl Because of his criminal record, he never will. Depressing I know. He would probably be Lord Fry by now if he hadn't gone behind bars.
@@zbr76 for what?
@@taj4137 Petty theft, I believe.
It's really funny when Fry seems to suggest that his tree is decorated by the queen herself. It appears like an accidental choice of words, but I'm wondering if he deliberately leaves a bit of ambiguity in there for comic effect!
For some reason, I honestly thought the British refrained from joking about their royal family. Or that they'd at least leave out crude jokes. Turns out I was wrong. This is awesome :D
zlozlozlo because most Brits are anti monarchy now anyway so people don't really care
We're British, we take the piss out of everything and everybody, including ourselves
Chloe Mulroy most British people are pro royal family actually; do your homework.
ghtjnn most brits DONT like the queen n want the family abolished
David Marchant bullshit lol. Queen is liked, rest of the royal family a little less maybe
This is probably the best QI segment of all time.
They say of the acropolis where the parthenon is...
@@Xomage999 Haha, came here to write this! That and the giant (but delicious) tortoises...
Stephen: "Why do they open presents on Christmas Eve?"
Jo: "Because they're all fucking mad."
Stephen: "No. Because they're all fucking Germans."
Fucking awesome.
rich hall is brilliant in this clip.
who?
The guy dressed in the red floral shirt who does not speak at all.
Good observation, however as an American I probably wouldn't crack wise about the Queen either. It is the sort of situation where I can make fun of my family members, but you can't. Better to listen politely and wait for the next subject.
@@Scott-J Dara Ó Briain did contribute though so I'm not sure if what you say is true.
You could be right. Rich was getting pretty quiet on these later episodes. Though the Irish/British relationship is understandably different than the American/British. Not that I have a lot of experience, but I don't think I've every seen an Irishman shy away from taking the piss out of anything English.
I guess she doesn't put the paper hat on as she would look silly wearing two crowns...
No its a waste of money !
With real crowns to choose from why would she bother with a paper one?
@@heliotropezzz333 tbh I would wear the paper crown. A real crown is very heavy as made of gold and gemstones.
Jo is on fire in this one!
I hope someone told Jo afterwards that the Royal family can celebrate Christmas however they f*cking want to.
@@numbereightyseven Well it's apparent that nobody ever told you that Jo Brand is also allowed to joke about whatever she fucking wants too, as well.
Makes a nice change. Jo is normally shite
@@numbereightyseven she didn't say otherwise you fucking idiot
@@numbereightyseven aww poor fragile snowflake can't take a joke in a comedy show?
I feel like this is the most British clip ever.
Well they do talk about tea (Twinings specifically) so it's good in my books.
I love the part with the f*** germans.
In-joke: the English are Germans, too.
@@WhiteCamryWell...kinda. Modern English are a mixture of Celtic Brythons, Anglo-Saxon, and Norman french. And, of course, not to mention the slew of more recent immigrant families.
@@WhiteCamry Nope theyre not, not according to genetics anyways.
"What? YOUR tree?" BOOOO! lol
I love the idea that the Queen wants to watch the Queen's speech on TV. I can imagine the rest of the royals deciding to watch The Great Escape instead like the rest of the country.
My immediate answer upon reading the title:
"Goes for a monstrous Christmas shit."
and they watch *ME* on christmas day
Cue gollum voice at "ME"
I love this show so much.
Oh, how I needed this!!!
0:18
Stephen was so surprised
This video will never get old lol
I have visions of Comic Relief doing a Christmas sketch of The Queen passing on the important job of decorating Stephen's tree to Prince William.
0:10 every schoolboy's 'innocent' face.
LOL Alen immidiatly said what i thought after reading the thumbnail.
that's one witty fuzzy headed nilly muffen!
German, eh?
*[Heiligabend Intensifies]*
My favorite clip
"That. Is. TREASON!"
- David Mitchell
I miss Stephen Fry!
@itismeitisi shes nowhere close to Stephen's level tho. While shes the next best thing, the gulf in ability and charm is gigantic
The Royal Family watch Stephen Fry at Christmas? They've just earned popularity points! :D
I get my tree from the Sandringham Estate too! Got to be quick mind...
I love how Jo just gets ABSOLUTELY stuck in. When she gets hold of a line of humor she's f*cking brilliant with it.
"Oh, for god's sake..."
What I would give to be a fly on the wall when the Royal Family watched this...
note to self, never drink water while watching qi episodes
Note to you: piss off
Jo was on a roll!
I love Jo!
It kills me when Stephen reacts like that!
just like the glasscock or beating your wife bits :)
Which queen decorates Stephen’s tree?
Brian May, surely.
Rich Hall looking like he’d rather be anywhere else
But he usually looks like that....
I think The Queen not wearing crowns is similar to when she visited the setif Game of Thrones and she was asked if she wanted to sit on the airon Throne but declined because she cannot sit on another throne whether it is real or fictional. Maybe it is the same thing with crowns.
Or maybe they are wearing one already and don't want it to get damaged.
They are also _incredibly_ heavy - the real ones, I mean. 😬👑
Only Stephen Fry could get away with press-ganging the monarch into decorating his Christmas tree just because he can’t be arsed!
What was Alan's answer right at the beginning?
Have a wank is the only thing I can think off
"Have a shit".
"Has a wank."
No, he definitely says 'wank'. I don't think 'shit' would have got quite the same reaction. Oh, and merry Xmas!
kisbie lol no why would anyone have a wank right after Christmas lunch lol!?
So what exactly does Alan say there at the beginning?
Kellen, I think he said "has a wank".... or maybe I just hope he said that
He did say that. God I love Alan.
"Has a shit"
There was no need to censor that.
Closed captioning would not go unwelcome.
why censored?
Right when I was drinking Twining's Earl Gray...
BOOM!
"Oh shit I killed my Corgis!"
Do we know what the Queen's Indian blend is specifically?
my guess would be Royal Blend, from Fortnum and Mason who have a royal warrant. It was an Indian blend created for King Edward but still produced
Yes, it's swan cheeks and dolphin lips.
@@justvin7214 And the blood of the poor.
So... I'm guessing Stephen does ads for Twinings?
Yes, but that was only part of the joke. Twinings holds a Royal Warrant since 1837 (originally granted by Queen Victoria), i.e. they are the official purveyors of tea to the court. The idea that the Queen must drink Twinings tea whether she likes it or not is what is obviously funny. Although in practice it's probably not a problem - Twinings tea is actually pretty good.
@@johaquila It's purely because Stephen was doing adverts for Twinings when this aired, nothing to do with the Royal Warrant. Most people wouldn't know or care that Twinings have it anyway. Also, the Warrant does not meant she has to drink Twinings "whether she likes it or not". If the Queen doesn't like their tea, she can simply withdraw the Warrant, it's not permanent.
@@decodolly1535 Thanks for the correction! Your explanation obviously trumps mine.
Whatever the fuck she wants. She's the fucking Queen ffs.
Derek Kent oh no if the Queen doesn't obey traditions she's got fucking nothing.
+George Jordan True but as the Queen she can make anything she wants a tradition and say it's been common practice for centuries. She's the Queen, who is going to contradict her? There are ships she's launched that had to have their names changed because she changed them. If the Queen says her kicking the toilet door in while the footmen are having a dump is a royal tradition it is from then on.
Derek Kent
Please enlighten me of the ships you speak of that have had an alleged name change on the orders of Her Majesty.
Mayhem 380
Cunard built the RMS Queen Elizabeth which was christened by the then Queen Elizabeth (the queen's mother) just after WW2 I think. Decades later Cunard built a ship they intended to name simply QE2. Only when the present queen christened it she hadn't been briefed properly so mistakenly said Queen Elizabeth 2. You will find the ship listed under both names. The queen didn't order the name change, she didn't have to she's the queen. That is true but the thread was intended to be humorous rather than factual.
Derek, you seem to be under the false impression the the Queen has any actual power
The only bit that annoyed me was that Maj refused to wear her paper hat
Come on, it's her day off. She shouldn't have to wear a crown on her day off!
To quote David Mitchell, “The best part of Christmas Day is when you take off the paper hat, but it still feels like you’re wearing it.”
Probably some weird constitutional thing like the only crown she is allowed to wear is her own.
What was censored out?
P99AT wank
The first one was "Has a shit."
Sad to think there won't be any more Christmas lunches from the Queen!
I'm not sure who got roasted more, the Queen or Stephen
I wonder if Andrew will.get "the bumper book of poor excuses " next xmas!
When Stephen says they watch him on christmas day, what does he mean, is (or was) there a certain program hosted by Stephen always at same time?
He was imitating the Queen who always gives a speech on Christmas Day.
@@danielchiverton4168 Ok, thank you, I thought that "me" referred to Stephen :D
I have to add, I saw video about queens coffin being transferred and there were few comments with little bit of disapproval that the hearse was German (Mercedes) and instantly thought of this clip :D
0:03 what did he say? I really wanna know!
"..has a wank."
As if the Queen washes up or cooks
One still needs to provide the proper attire for ones servants.
Actually, most rich people like to bake and all that. It might be a hobby of hers
Molsy 176 Source?
@@bnap3221 yes, there was a group of scientists who conducted a nationwide survey of rich people to see if they like to bake or not.
Use your eyes and ears. Everyone on bake off is normally middle class at least.
Most grans ( ie people with a lot of money ) love to bake.
Rich people are also much more likely to spend the time preparing their meals and pursuing hobbies because they have the funds and time to do so.
You do not need a source for what is known by everyone in the nation except yourself
Molsy 176 saying ‘there is a survey’ is not providing the source. I have never heard of ‘bake off’. What is the source on your statement that most rich people like to bake?
I bet Stephen's tree is decorated by a queen.
hahaha :)
Stephen Fry is actually gay so...
Can someone explain the Twinings joke if you could?
Fry used to do twinings adverts. It's a type of tea.
@@charliej8105 I actually drink Earl Grey from Twinings but never saw him in an ad for it in the US, it's just one of the better bag teas around here. Thanks for the info.
What's twinnings
Could someone please explain the Twinings joke?
At the time he appeared in TV adverts for Twinings tea
@@DoMw94 oh okay. Thank you
Swedish also open gifts on Christmas Eve. I know this because my family does this and they are 100% Swedish.
Pretty much every Christian country apart from the UK and America does.
@@hlc5410 Greeks open presents on new years day.
@@TheSteve285 thanks, I didn't know that.
She has a cheeky finger
I imagine Andrew will have been relegated to a cottage on the estate this year rather than being up at the 'big house', probably the same one Fergie has to stay in over Xmas. Ah well, at least they can argue over who is the biggest embarassment to the family.
I have so many questions.
1:48
I read the comments with british accent 😂
Can someone please explain the Twinings joke for me?
Stephen was the face of Twinings tea on Commercials
Strange to think that the queen is no longer here. It seemed she would go on to live forever......
Long live the king
‘’Long live the king’’ 🤢
Sometimes it takes me a second or tenth time watching these clips to completely understand the references and hearing through their accents.
They don't have strong accents (unless you are American). It's pretty well standard English in this clip, as the American on the panel does not speak, and the Irishman speaks less than the others.
@@heliotropezzz333 are you from the UK or are you versed in UK accents besides on media? I’ve watched a ton of English produced stuff over the years, in the beginning it was a whole new language for me. Now I can understand a lot more from years of loving UK shows. I still am awful at it. Not everyone is very apt to accents. I love the show though and figuring out a joke the tenth time is been heard makes it much better.
@@ffrreeddyy123456 Yes I'm from the UK. I'm glad you enjoy deciphering the accents. There are so many in the UK that we get used to hearing different ones plus all our neighbours in the various nations in Europe when they speak English and we have no problem with American accents as we see so many Amerrican films and so much American TV. Some people however can have difficulty with a strong Glaswegian accent or a strong Irish one. If you want to test yourself, see how you do with these czcams.com/video/5pmZmUzhx9w/video.html (Irish). czcams.com/video/9cK_KXVZ8sI/video.html (Glaswegian) I love the fact that Kevin Bridges is trying to tone down his accent as much as possible so that Lily Tomlin can understand him and he's shocked to find out she still can't understand him.
@@heliotropezzz333 oh I was thinking you were American and just acting better than someone else. I’m glad you find enjoyment it people’s understanding of accents. I’m not one to click on links from people I don’t know... internet ruined me. But I’d challenge you to a South accent contest. I can hardly understand Americans from The South at times. I’m curious if you’re a lot better than me at that. Rep PNW💛
@@ffrreeddyy123456 I accept your challenge but then you'd have to send me links to click on so that I could try. The links I sent you are just from youtube and are clips from guests on the Graham Norton show - nothing dodgy, but it's up to you whether you click on them. I just thought you might enjoy them.
Allan looks like a hippy here
Does she watch the royal family christmas special?
after christmas lunch? christmas tea?
Twinnings
Easily the funniest 3:33 in this show, I think.
Is it Twinings.
Fry: i supporse so
Why did I read all the comments before I watched the clip? I must stop doing that.
american here; is twinnings tea considered low quality in england which is why everyone was laughing? asking cuz i enjoy twinnings. we get a variety pack like every month
its more to do with the stigma behind twinnings, we Brits see it as a posh tea while the working class has tetleys, yorkshire tea, typhoo etc
@@grease_monkey6078 oh okay. Yorkshire is pretty good too
@@TheDeathclawhunter the reference in this video is that Stephen did an advert for Twinnings
“How To Make Stephen Fry Laugh Uncontrollably” Instruction Manual
*STEP 1* : Be Alan Davies.
Why did they bleep shit
Can someone explain the Twining’s joke to this Canadian?
Stephen was ths spokesperson for twinings tea back in the day
They should have had one of those 'you're wrong' alarms at the start that said
*Pinches one out*
Twinnings lol
Does anyone else open presents on Christmas Eve?
I don't understand the Twinings joke 😳
Stephen was in a commercial for it:)
@@lisas3285 Ohhh Thanks so much for this 😏
Why did Jo get such a reaction from Stephen and the audience when she asked if the tea was Twinings?
Barba Ro Stephen did some commercials for Twinings a few years back. You can find them here on CZcams 🙂
Ok so this must be quite an old video because Alan davies still has brown hair whereas nowadays he has gone grey and still looks sexy, xx
why is twinings funny
“It’s decorates by the queen herself”
*blows raspberry*
Why isn't the red-headed son in the picture?
At 3:15. Speak for yourself!
Does anyone get the Twinnings reference that made everyone cheer and Stephen hide behind his cards?
Stephen did the voice over and appeared in TV ads for twinnings
WOW there is a lot of cranky people in the comments section who cares what you or they do after lunch it’s just a bit of fun and a laugh people come on
Has a royal flush
