Oh no, Tom is no longer considered husband material for 19th century Germany
If the scar was from fencing, he could be a mid-20th Century German
At least it isn't on the _other_ cheek.
@@PianoKwanMan "Rollercoaster" accident
@@PianoKwanManit's not how you got the scar, it's the story you tell. He could've always said it was from fencing.
Nowadays people running around with a scar on their cheek are not considered husband material by women outside of that specific bubble.
weird that "so you can identify yourself in case your face can't" is the first good argument pro fingerprints on IDs I heard
But what if I gave my fingers the pineapple treatment?
@@llllukathat's an old school reference
I was thinking the same thing. I know my EU passport has a chip with my fingerprint on it.
@@lllluka Then you're old school Tom Scott
"As you can tell, from my _FACE_ " is a *fantastic* line. Well done, Tom!
the emotional scar of "oh no, you don't do those videos anymore" is too deep for cosmetic surgery
Same for the emotional scar of "was it 25 years ago, the year 2000"?
When Shawn said 'people go to South Korea for a specific reason' the lightbulb totally went off for me!
1:44 I don't think Kim Jong Un will be too pleased with a direct passenger train between China and South Korea travelling through his country lol
If it's pantograph looks like his haircut - he'll be cool . . .
Bridge over the sea?
@@abigailcooling6604 that'd be a massive and expensive project, having to most likely entirely circumvent north korean ocean jurisdiction, and build a bridge away from the coast that's several hundred kilometers long.
But it was my first impulse too, when trains were mentioned.
Big tunnel. Don't tell him.
If China *really* wanted that train connection, they'd just force Kim to make it happen and he'd have to swallow his pride of suffer the consequences.
Watching Tom gesture to the side of his face: that's the wrong side, did they mirror the footage for some reason? No, he's just pointing to the wrong spot.
If anyone is wondering about Tom's scar, It's very likely the scar from Ai Pioppi!
Escaped the metal wheel of death, but not the random bit of metal.
What scar
The scar he mentioned at the end 6:05 @@Mike_Dubayou
6:08 emotional scar reduction too
Themed episodes wouldn't really work for this show, because it'd basically be like giving everyone a clue to every answer. "Well, this episode's theme is X, so I guess the answer must have something to do with X". One way would be to not tell anyone the theme, and if it was particularly obscure, or a kind of wordplay, the players could try and work it out as the go, like a big metaquestion hanging over the episode.
QI does that in every episode with a theme word and klaxon frequency never seemed to go down.
Ooh I like the idea that they have to work out the theme, that sounds fun
You could have a theme of all the questions relating to sports/athletes, or celebrities, or historical events. Keep it very broad. I don't think a theme along those lines would offer hints as to the actual answers.
2:28 I'm so glad Tom said this 'cause "celebrity stopped by crowd of fans" was the first idea that jumped into my head...
4:28 I’ve been yelling the answer in my head for the last and a half minutes, but it’s also fun watching them edging closer to answer.
5:57
That burn hurt, as a decade-long viewer 😢
At least we have this show!
My immediate thought was that they were very heavily pregnant and the airline didn't want to risk a mid-flight birth.
Finally got a question I already knew the answer to!
When I saw the question, my first thought was durian related 🤣
Additional stat from a few years ago (it has probably gone up by now): over 80% of South Korean women age 18-25 have had cosmetic surgery.
I wondered if they'd had radioisotope therapy done - there's some treatments where a source is inside you through injection or a ingestion, and if they'd been accidentally discharged early...
I think China's quite capable of doing radiotherapy domestically though, so...
I did hear about this story, so did my mom! What pissed me off is that neither of us was able to remember
I remember when Tom got that scar. Been watching for a long while, huh...
Glad the pain is far enough in the past that you're starting to forget which side it's on, I think that's a good thing right 😂
I knew the answer almost immediately because I'd heard of the story before but i was sure of it like halfway through, i love when i get to sit back and just watch them guess
I read the question as 'was this fight ban unfair' LOL
After they started talking about it maybe being medical, I remembered that maybe there was a case where someone went to have a plastic surgery but they looked so different the officer checking their ID was thinking they were using someone's else documents? It could be that.
Having no interest of the industry behind the actual answer, the "medical" and "safety of the other people on the plane" comment made me think of a group of women with severely "irritated bowels" being denied entry on the plane due to the "limitations of the aircraft's air recycling system".
I thought it was going to be like bird flu or something
tom asking for a kpop question, not knowing the impending storm that would invite lol.
The moment I heard this, I knew why xD
DEFINITELY no train between South Korea and China.
The question for which I knew the answer immediately and im SCREAMING 😂 Well played hahaaha
'i don't know how this works!' emphatically protests the 40 year old who looks 20. you're not fooling me, tom
My first thought was they were trying to leave thru North Korea, and were stopped for their own safety.
I thought this was going to be something like their Korean accents are North Korean accents due to learning it in China who have closer ties with North Korean and so the South Korean airport security thought they were North Korean spies. But I suppose plastic surgery also works for the question in the video. 😂
I got it the moment she mentioned medical
I didn't guess this one immediately, and I don't know if I would be along the right lines as I usually comment my guess as the question is asked, but I sure wish the guessers would lean more on the South Korea part of this question rather than generic reasons. In terms of meta quizzing, you gotta wonder why the question was asked or worded in some way, and which details are put there as huge clues. The only key things in this question is Chinese women, 2007, leaving South Korea. I would be angling into why there were Chinese women in South Korea at that time. But again I might be really off by the time I get to the answer here
Luckily partially relevant clues since South Korean plastic surgery is very desired and sought after by parts of the world, such as China.
Was it the scar that he got from the Italian human-powered roller coaster?
Why can't they just check their fingerprints?
Because not all passports have fingerprint information. Some do today, but a lot fewer did in 2007.
@@Blackwoodcwc I don't mean in the passport, but many countries take fingerprints off the person when they enter the country. I know South Korea does, but indeed maybe not yet in 2007
@@HairyGhostbear Given that they said this happened again with a larger set of ladies later, it's entirely possible that this event (and the later one) contributed to WHY they take fingerprints now...
@@HairyGhostbear Again, not a thing back then. That was mostly introduced with the fingerprint passports. Before that, they had nothing to compare to, so it was mostly the US, China, etc. doing it.😅😅
lmao, again with the year 2000 being 25y ago tease
Ruth said medical and it lit a bulb in my head. Let's see if I'm correct.
Spoiler:
Plastic surgery and I got it correct for once!
My guess was they went to SK for plastic surgery...
"Done nothing wrong" and "Broken no laws" are not necessarily the same thing.
3:00 Did they choose to go to South Korea? Perhaps Roh Moo-hyun had kidnapped them from China and he wanted them back.
Is Tom a secret K-pop fan?
Is there a way to play this with you guys?

@@dziadek1990thank you 🙏🏻
1:11. Yeah, China is to the north of the Koreas. And to the west. And to the south. And to the east.
Face-lift crazy😊😊
I know this one, it's so hilarious and stupid...🤦🤦
Putting in my guess at 0:19 - if it's because the three women were going north, I'm gonna be really disappointed in the lateral guests today.
Initial thoughts: to prevent them from being persecuted/prosecuted by China on reasons judged insufficient, invalid, inhumane, etc. An international diplomacy backed get-out-of-jail-free excuse for these women.
3:17 Transwomen? (S.) Korea has great surgeons and is open enough for that, unlike China. It fits neatly with my previous reasoning. And the "they were _eventually_ able to go back" comment could refer to finally making official recognition (and hopefully protection) of these women from the Chinese.
I figured in was Plastic Surgery related, as I remember reading how South Korea has the most plastic surgery's per Capita than any other country, but like Tom I thought it was because the Surgeons did such a good job (or bad) that they were unrecognisable.
Not gonna lie, I'm not sure that is unfair
Couldn't travel after recent sickness till period
I was thinking along those lines myself.
...but if you count "recovery from surgery" as a 'sickness', it still counts! 👍
Didn't have medical statement
Gives a whole new maening to "face value"...
I was afraid it was going to be gender reassignment surgery and it made me sad. I'm glad I was wrong.
