QI - Series J Page 4

Far too much menstruation material last night for my liking.

I enjoyed last night's. Didn't even notice that for once there was more than one woman on until the very end.

Again as last week, too much laughing at titties and body fluids for my liking. Not that I'm prude but it gets boring seeing 40+ people making and laughing at this kind of jokes all the time like we did when we were 12.

Well Sue Perkins was cross dressing, and I can see that Jo Brand's beard might have thrown you...

It is ironic that a post post-watershed slot on the 'intellectual channel' enables them to pitch the material so relentlessly at the sniggeringly pubescent.

What has happened to QI? It's turned into a pale shadow of its former self. I was bored and slightly tired of all the laboured innuendos. Is it the guests? Can't be, I like all of them, is it Fry? No he seems the same. Something is wrong and I can't quite put my finger on what it is, the tone's changed and I don't like it. It's back on BBC Two now, it's behaving like 'Carry on up the Campus' and would now seem more at home on BBC One. Angry

You don't need the likes of Stephen Fry, Alan Davies or Jo Brand to make cheap adolescent jokes about titties and sperm. If this is the new direction it would be better if they hired people like Russel Howard and...let's face it...Rik Mayall.

I've found these first couple of episodes refreshingly funny after an incredibly smug, boring, tiresome couple of series.

Hasn't Stephen Fry always done puerile innuendo jokes on QI?
I've noticed that he does seem to enjoy that kind of humour

That's true, but then there's occasional puerile and wall to wall puerile. What we have here is a puerile makeover by the specialist puerile decorators from Puerilesville just round the corner from Puerileton.

Ah hem, sorry about that I'm decorating at present.

Puerilesville

Yeah! Puerilesville, Arizona!...sorry, I'm into Perrin-catchphrases at the moment.
:)

If you ask me Mr Fry is about two minutes away from getting his lad out on air.

That's terrible, Gordon. I didn't get where I am today by quoting Perrin catchphrases.

Sorry. That's probably off topic.

Er... QI. He's a bit smug, that one off Fry & Laurie, in ee?

Makes out he's really clever when all along he's got the answers in front of him.

Right, I'll get my coat now.

Sorry, Aaron.

Yeah, but to be fair, having the answers in front of you alone doesn't make you a good host (which Fry is imo, despite his tendency to make cheap knob gags). I mean, give David Beckham the answers an see what happens. But who knows, maybe the girls would prefer QI with that nicely styled blockhead as host.

Yes, we're all very shallow.

It was only a joke!! :D
But I tell what's not a joke: David Beckham's an eejit!
