QI Series F, Epsiode 12
March 22nd, 2009This is my first use of YouTube’s ‘Playlist’ feature. The idea is that if you click this link and then choose “Play All Videos” from the upper right (just below the banner at the top), all 5 sections will play with only a momentary pause between them.
Silvija will be disgusted to see her most hated Jimmy Carr (or squinty Michael Ian Black as I think of him) has returned. Can the merits of David “Peep Show/Unbelievable Truth/Mac vs. PC” Mitchell balance him out? (I say yes, but I also don’t have a problem with Jimmy Carr.) Also featuring Sniglets Hall in a Late Night with Conan O’Brien t-shirt rather than the cowboy shirts the stereotype-minded costumers dude him up in as the “token American.”
But I can’t embed it here (as far as I know), so for aesthetics I will also post the first of five here:
This is the finale for the year. I didn’t love F series… I thought E series and D series were on the whole much funnier. Still, completely bereft now that the season is over and there wasn’t a costumed theme episode in sight.
I have already watched every episode of Room 101, TV Heaven, Telly Hell, Comedy Connections, and post-1996 Have I Got News For You on YouTube, so I have to find a new show to seek out.

Jimmy Carr is horrible, but of a piece with the tired gag of the buzzers at the opening—a whisper of a reminder of how this show should in theory be much less funny and enjoyable than it actually is.
