Description from Wikipedia:
QI (Quite Interesting) is a British comedy panel game
television quiz show created and co-produced by John Lloyd, hosted by Stephen
Fry, and featuring permanent panelist Alan Davies.
Most of the questions are
extremely obscure, making it unlikely that the correct answer will be given. To
compensate, points are awarded not only for right answers, but also for
interesting ones, regardless of whether they are right or even relate to the
original question.
Conversely, points are deducted from a panelist who gives
"answers which are not only wrong, but pathetically obvious,"typically answers that are generally believed to be true but in fact are misconceptions.
Points are also often deducted if an obvious joke answer is given. These
answers are known as forfeits, usually indicated by a loud klaxon, flashing
lights, and the incorrect answer being displayed on screen as a form of
humiliation.
SEE Stephen Fry try to play school master and fail fabulously.
SEE the XL episodes where all the naughty bits are left in.
SEE Alan Davies subtly undermine the game.
SEE Rob Brydon advance his faux science and mock seriousness.
SEE David Mitchell devolve into a ball of "angry logic."
SEE Sean Lock get pissy and bored with intelligent participants.
SEE Jimmy Carr deadpan through every innuendo.
SEE Phil Jupitus and Bill Bailey sing, dance, flirt, and just be AWESOME.
But don't take my word for it:
And of course, THIS happened. I love to see a grown man cry:
