Everyone was fishing for laughs in this video.
They always are. It's annoying.
@@john.premoseI think you missed out on the original comment's reel-y nice joke tbh.
@@mannmctrash did I?
They do it just for the halibut.
@@john.premose It went over your head like a fine handmade lure.
I've heard it said that you never see John Sargent and Jo Brand in the same room together - but it seems you do.
I was just going to say the exact same thing!
Trick photography.
I was going to say they look like siblings. What's this Aussie missing?
@@ErgonBill Just a general observation that they look pretty similar (and to expand on that, that the idea that 'they are never seen in the same room' might be that they're the same person).
@@ErgonBillYes, they are siblings.
For that fish 🐠 it adds meaning to Go “find” yourself! 🤔 🤣
Love the full outro being back
'He's new'
The reason for sexual reproduction is still debated. The ancestors of all major eukaryotic groups reproduce sexually (including the ancestors of fungi, animals, and plants), although some of their descendants later lost the ability (like this fish). So it's probably about as old as eukaryotes. There are several well-regarded ideas, but it's not clear how to demonstrate the actual reason. Two major hypotheses are that sexual selection produces abundant variation, allowing sexually-reproducing populations to evolve more rapidly, or that sexual selection masks deleterious mutations.
I suppose also it's fun.
What about the ability to do things to impress a mate?
I can imagine average human hygiene would deteriorate if we were just asexual.
Surely it's to ensure and encourage greater diversity and so greater fitness and survivability of the species by combining different sets of dna.
Like with aphids: they are all exact copies of each other so something that gains the ability to kill/eat an aphid can then do this to.....
_every_ aphid.
@@g-r-a-e-m-e- oh god,thank you.
i always figured it was like a matter of energy efficiency. Species are less able to specialise if they have everything they need as one, so in the case of humans males skeletal structures are able to be more durable for survival, while females have greater flexibility for childbirth. Its perfectly sensible that 4 hands are better than 2, makes for a greater chance of survival and is the start of evolutionary socialization, so it makes sense to not have everything in one package which is why it seems the most successful species are 2 gendered. Though you can then argue what "success" means, as QI once said bacteria are successful because they can exist almost anywhere, but then you're making a different point altogether
Jo's burn was better than the audience gave it credit for
Jo,in general,is funnier than she’s given credit for!
You made me rewatch it three times and I still cannot find the burn?
"burn" is probably the incorrect word. More along the lines of a joke/one-liner.
She's normally hilarious but that one just wasn't that good for me. Didn't word it right, methinks.
At the Parthenon with Genesis of course! Wait, what?
I thought QI said there was no such thing as fish. Lol
Sorry to be pedantic but Qi just said that Stephen Jay Gould said there was no such thing as a fish. Subtle but important difference.
If Stephen Jay Gould fell out of a tree, would the non-fish hear the sound he made?
Awwww it's nice Jo and her father do these together.
One issue with Asexual reproduction is the lack of new DNA being introduced into the individual species.
New genes mostly come from mutations, which can happen both in sexually and asexually reproducing organisms. But sexual reproduction definitely creates more variety through recombining genotypes within a species.
Like the Real Housewives franchise.
The next time someone tells me to go screw myself, I'mma shout "What do I look like, a tree fish or something?"
Poor sod'll be confused all day.
😄
The male and female Jo Brands together at last.
Which is which?
@@wrrichardson boys have a penis and girls have a vagina
He's new
It's a Samon Berry tree
*Salmon ....but yes. :)
The unusual thing? Other than the obvious?
So if they reproduce with themselves are they just making clones of themselves? And does that mean they all originate from one ancestral fish so they all are clones? I feel like that’s wrong but that’s what I’m thinking.
do they have lungs? can they breath air?
Wikipedia says that mangrove killifish breathe through their skin when they're out of water. I don't think they have lungs.
I'm assuming there is some water/fluid inside the tree hollows and they can survive there similar to mudskippers.
@@chaoticneutral6288 "I'm assuming there is some water/fluid inside the tree hollows"
If we self reproduced as jimmy carr suggested, we'd all be the same as our parent. There wouldn't be a mechanism for variation. That wouldn't be good for evolutionary development.
Whyyyyy do they put that godawful awkwardness at the end? If you can't afford a decent writer just close the episode with some grace ffs
