As someone who has sailed all 4 oceans I can assure you they're all a holes. Well except the artic, that ones pretty chill.

I love Sandy, she's such a talented well informed person

"across the seven seas" is what would have tripped me up

[danieleuceda]

Second guy got it right, there are 5 oceans movies

As an American I remember learning about the four oceans and then one year, there was suddenly a fifth and I was extremely confused as to where it came from

[mikeeful]

I confidently said “11” in the privacy of my own home

I’m American. I love this show. I wish I could watch it easily here. I want to learn things whilst laughing hysterically 😂

I'll probably get trolled for this but am I the only guy who thinks Aisling Bea is stunningly beautiful?

Thank you NOAA for your service to all the rest of us around the world ❤

I love how even the show runners got it wrong

"I imagine there's going to be a fight"

It'll be a water fight i guess

Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern and World. 6 oceans. It was 6 all along

The answer to all "How many" questions on QI are either "None, " "One" or "Many."

[monmothma]

How old is this clip? Is the fight over?

[spudthepug]

My answer was “depends on how you define ‘ocean’.”

[sabastiantaylor]

Oceanic gang territory fights are wild.

[ronancoriginals]

I’ve been saying this for years and people have always ridiculed me about it.. I’m so happy now 😊

[KhunRay-yk]

Annie Lennox sang of the 7 seas. Does that count?

[funkogoodguy]

That’s interesting. Never thought of it this way
