QI | Gran's Imaginary Friend

The panellists discuss their imaginary friends.

This clip is from QI Series I, Episode 6, 'Inventive' with Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Bill Bailey, Nina Conti, Sean Lock and Gran!

Sean Lock had me with "I hear voices, but I ignore them and just carry on killing"

[SugarfreeYT]

lol 'I ignore them and I just carry on killing' hahahahahaha.

That's what I came here for.

[MrKastle]

I had an imaginary friend once, I was always jealous because he had a real one.

[michaellejeune]

"My reality has been called into question." Never change, Bill.

[GossipIsSlander]

R.I.P. Sean. It hits differently watching these videos. They're hilarious still but i cant believe one of the funniest comedians has been taken from the world. The world has been in drastic need for humour and its his dry wit that would be able to make us all happy

[SuKiJpB]

I cannot get over the fact that Bill is wearing a Naruto shirt

[Eversca]

I noticed immediately that Bill was wearing a naruto shirt, but somehow it took me almost 3 minutes to register that that was surprising.

[VigneshVR]

"I hear voices sometimes, but I just ignore them and carry on killing" - Classic Sean.

[twistedineveryway]

I love when Stephen Fry says something outrageous but then straight after just bows his head in shame

[Lilithly]

Bill's shirt is great. Just wanted to mention that.

I am a QI addict, and this is the only episode I can't watch over and over. In fact, I could never even watch it a second time. Love Bill & Sean, but Nina Conti was the worst guest they've ever had on. Perhaps she'd have been tolerable without the puppet.

[PnkR]

I think Sean Lock might be my favourite comedian ever this week.

[philosyche]

It was all worth it to unexpectedly hear Stephen Fry say the words "Pussy Hound"

[CorsetGrace]

Hearing Stephen Fry say "pussyhound" was very shocking. Made me laugh out loud.

[YG-begl]

The Yasser Arafat quote is actually incorrect.

It is actually: "The History of religious friends is the history of fighting over INVISIBLE friends".

The altered quote has been peddled around since the American comedian Richard Jeni stated it in 2002.

[Belvie]

Imagine you got tickets to see Qi live and it turned out to be the episode where they booked the damned ventriloquist

[d.e.b.b]

When I took a class in child psychology, our professor instructed us as to having an imaginary friend was perfectly normal, admitting that he had had one when he was a child. When asking the class, not a single one of us had had an imaginary friend. Then HE got upset.

[moveslikemacca]

I still have imaginary friends at 21 as part of my maladaptive daydreaming.

[plaguedoctr]

My older sister had an imaginary friend when we were kids, so I decided to pretended to have one. I never really had one though.
True story.

[abbyschneider]

as a kid i tried to have an imaginary friend, like when i was 4 or 5, but i got bored with it, its exhausting to deal with your own self and create a backstory for a fake thing that can't talk
