alan: "it's like a blues singer. please welcome lou stoolwater!"
So like I mentioned a few weeks back, I've been watching QI (aka Quite Interesting) in my spare time, only I've decided to do it the ridiculous way: watching series 5, then series 4, and right now I'm on the last episode of series 3.
From the joking comments made by Bill and Phill and Simon when Alan Davies was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, I had expected QI to be Buzzcocks' classier cousin, but oh my god. If an episode passes without a penis joke I am SHOCKED AND APPALLED. I mean, sure, I've learned a plethora of new pieces of random information to add to the absurd encyclopedia that is my brain, but everyone on that show consistently turns into twelve-year-olds, including Stephen Fry himself. And I love it.
Like I said, I've had a lifetime love of Stephen Fry, but QI has done what I thought impossible and multiplied it times 1 billion.
CASE IN POINT, the sentence he just said a minute ago:
"We were apparently rather resistant to the idea of destroying witches in England, unlike views espoused in so-called books -- and I use the word book very loosely -- like The Da Vinci Code. [spitting noise] It is complete loose stool-water, it is arse-gravy of the worst kind."
♥♥♥STEPHEN♥♥♥
(And it TOTALLY beats Buzzcocks' exchange:
NOEL FIELDING: [Courtney Love] would crush you like a Twiglet.
SIMON AMSTELL: She would. Or kill me and make it look like suicide!)
