QI Review- This one is just not fair!

Hey Everyone! Is it fair to keep you guys waiting for this?  Nope!


Inequality is the name of the game for this episode.  The first thing I thought of was Whose Line when I saw that Clive Anderson and Sandi Toksvig were both guests. (Clive was the host of the U.K. version, while Sandi was a regular in the 2 and 3 seasons)  Henning Wehn is a new face in the show, and give QI another country to work off of, as they already have the US and Denmark as well (at least!). Now they have Germany under their wing.


The XL was... longer.  It also gave me another Whose Line flashback when Sandi mentioned Mike McShane.  It's nice to know that the two still keep up with each other, as with back on Whose Line, Film and Theater Styles were awesome with the two of them.


Trivia- Stephan takes "Inequality" to new heights when he unjustly gave Alan a forfeit so early in the game!  But in the end, it didn't matter because the scores was given at the beginning! Sandi won with a -54, even though Clive had a 7.  Henning's was in German (I believe) it was a -60.  Alan's was a negative one gazillion.  
Also, even though it was mentioned, none of the questions had a nobody knows to it.  Seems a tad unfair...


Sandi- She is still my favorite. It seemed to take her a while that the scores were the introduction to the buzzers.  Stephan pretty much gave her a forfeit near the beginning when she read "The Puritan" on the statue.  However, it didn't matter because she already won.  She compared herself to a pig, and gave a reference to good ol'Mike. Won with the second best score- but who cares? It's all unfair!


Clive- I loved how he took a shot at his baldness.  Sandi may have changed a little in looks since Whose Line, but he sure didn't!  Ah, he made jokes and got a 7 in the start of the game, however, Sandi won:D.  I loved his buzzer! "Objection Me Lord!"  


Henning- New guy, went on a tangent about "The War".  He used his buzzer when Sandi "Mentioned the War".  However, very much like the German episode, it got mentioned.  Got a -60 and in third place.  We know that the scores were unfair. I would like to see him again too!


Alan-  From New guy to the regular.  The only guy I know whom can truly do a good job miming wiping a king's butt.  I see he is still a butt monkey- got the klaxon in the beginning- minus one gazillion points (is that even a number? lol) So fear not!  He gets last, so all is right with this unjust epi!


Klaxons- I lost track whom got what! Sorry my friends...


Really Quite Interesting...- The fact that the whole pilgrim story was a myth.  That was interesting to me, as well as the rule loopholes.  Very cool and informative indeed. 


Other stuff?- Lovely little episode to start my reviews again.  I never do one just the same I realize, because I had some picture in the last one.  I plan to get caught up (I saw imbroglio, invertebrates, and incomprehensible, and parts of the others.) but for now, the next one I will be doing is Illness.  The others I will get to, but I haven't had time to do.  Also, Happy Halloween! Everybody go get some candy!


Heather Short Signing off!

Thank You for the patience...

As Unexpected my week had turned out for me, I'm ready to start working on my blog again.  His death still strikes a part of me that brings sadness, but I'm much better.


Thank you for waiting, and tomorrow (or Monday, depends on my ability to do homework later.) I shall post a QI review for inequality.  


Later in the week, I might do some overhaul on the blog if I can.  You see the problem is changing the background.  Because it is always a goddamn problem if my background cannot look like cheap orange soda.  *Sigh*


So expect an update... or maybe.  I shall still be recovering (He was a good friend) however, I promised that Sunday will be my returning day.

A SLIGHT break...

A recent tragic event has came into my life, a student whom I knew as one of friend's little brother, has died on Saturday.  His life was taken to soon, and I have been depressed as of the late.  I'm so sorry my friends, a heres hoping that I shall have the new QI review up on Sunday.

It's sad to go to a funeral of somebody, whom is around your age.  The funeral is on Thursday, and it shall take me some time to get back on track.

After all, you cannnot have a depressed comedian.

Love,
Heather Short

Might as well face it, Your addicted to comedy.

Hey peeps!  Heather here!


So what will I talk about today?


Dear VH1, please fix your voting button on you site.  That is why "Gonna Get Over You" is still number 21 on your countdown despite votes from me and the Sara Bareilles fan club.  Fix This Now.  


P.S. "What the Water Gave Me" is not on your countdown.  Seams like you are not having the best of days.


Sorry, now that is done...


Some might have noticed that I support the No H8 campaign, and you should to.  Why, it's about not hating  people, including support of the gays, and you know I love my little gay posse at school;)  Even though they aren't really gay they are still my gay people:D  Well, I do know some gays, they are my friends and stuff so yeh. But still I love everyone.  Except some celebrities, truck owners, creators of "Hillbilly Handfishing", Your Mum, and people who bug me on Twitter.


Yes, you should do that.  Happy Spirit Day, I have the Purple Twibbon, but I'm wearing all red at home why?  If I have a blue Light filter, I will be completely Purple.  Purple is my favorite color its so much fun.


So, any ideas how to end this blog post?

12 Days!

See you Awesome people later!

QI Review. Dummyed Down?

I skipped a little I know, but I wanted to see this episode for myself.  This one is "Terrible" according to Youtube watchers, and a disappointment from the guy whom uploaded the XL version.


So I saw for myself
And I have to say... Whatever.


Bill Bailey, Nina Conti, and Sean Lock certainly brought the facts on, but it was a first in the series that caused comments to slam the new panelist, why though? She is a ventriloquist.


What's the problem with that?  Well I was asking myself the same question.  I was enlightened, and I thought of her as more of an "Expert" because of the ventriloquist question that they had.  I was more surprised at the lack of forfeits.


So Worst Episode ever- Hardly, Ruined Forever- Far From it.  Nina and Gram are not the worst thing to happen to QI, so take the stick out of your bum and read this review.  Even if you leave now, your visit is still logged in my records so I don't give a damn. 


Bill Bailey- One of my favorites in this episode.  He was amazing as always, playing with the chief puppet, and his interactions with Gram.  The "pussy-hound" Argument was what sent me up in stitches. Managed to get the only forfeit in the entire episode by saying that Tim Berners-Lee was the inventor of the internet, and getting last place with -3


Alan Davis- Oh my gossness, he seemed to be on fire tonight!  Not setting off the Klaxon, and making his answers seem intelligent was great.  I believe he got only 1 point for breaking his puppet.  Is it me, or is he great at the nobody knows question? 


Sean Lock- Seemed to me to be the resident Smart-Ass and Fry annoyance. The water grenade is an example.  Just saying to was a bottle to put stuff in seemed to get on Stephan's nerves. Also had a Lady Gaga Comment.  Still, he was great and his smartassness seemed to be the reason for his 3


Nina Conti- This is her first appearance on the show.  I like her better than say Rory and that one Yankee in the G-Animals, and the ventriloquist question they had made me believe that she was on there to be an expert.  Gram seems to be the puppet she is known for, and the fact that she looks at Gram at times and wonders why she isn't saying anything would be prof that ventriloquists are allowed to be crazy. Gram gets 4 points and Nina has 5.


Overall- a great attempt at something new, but did it work?  In my eyes, it could be a lot worse, I imagined that if see didn't bring one of her puppets on the show, everyone would complain about that.  It's like going to a Jeff Dunham show and it's just him without his puppets.  You would be pissed.  So yes, stop complaining about Nina, and let us wonder why Alan is so good at the nobody knows questions....


Forfeits- Seems like Stephan tried a double bluff because Tim Berners-Lee has been mention on the show as the inventor of the world wide web, sadly for Bill, that is not the same thing as the internet...


XL- They cut out a lot of interesting facts, why eggs and bacon were popular, the only forfeit for example. It is a lot better that is for sure.



Funny pictures-  Enjoy Bill breaking the buzzer and Alan Breaking his puppet.  It seems like they cannot have anything nice on the set. (Sorry they are so bloody uneven ><)

That poor pirate...

Yum... Buzzer plastic.

My Last thoughts- This seemed to be a love it or hate it episode.  I think Nina should come on one last time.  It's something on should remember that what she does is very hard to do.  It didn't really work as well as other forms of comedy on a panel show, but this episode will always be very interesting (and Funny) to me.

See you all next Time on the Comedy Stars Blog!

Heather Short^^

This is here because I am lazy

Meh, not much of an update today, sorry folks.


Hey who else is going to get Florence + the machine's new album?  I think I'm in love with ever single track on Lungs so I'm getting it.


Okay that has nothing to do with the comedy Stars blog, lets carry on.


On thing I love about unscripted Comedy( or Improv) is the randomness of outcomes to a situation. Why did I bring this up.  Well, must of my follows on Twitter are Whose Line Fans.

My Reaction to GSN cancelling IAG

So, I shall remind you guys that I love you and everything that I will eventually get to will be so amazing!

By the way, Nov. first I shell be hunting do Ceremonials, Florence + The Machine's Sophomore Album! I shell post here and on Twitter on that day.  I shall eventually go to Walmart, and if not there, ask by the workers to leave the store to the amount of swearing!

 By they way, the one thing I loved about Eclipse, is Heavy In Your Arms By Florence + The Machine.  Also, to you Twilight fans...

The Only thing good about the series was that song.

Thanks for Reading!

Heather Short!

Have I got News (And Updates) For You!^^

Hello Everyone, Sorry for the Long overdue update.


I  am still trying to find a more reliable way to watch QI (Not on the TV, I live in Oklahoma><)  Don't know when that'll be but when it does you will know.  While that project is on hold, I'm afraid that I shall spend time to update some of the things on this site.  The updates that I'm planning are more to a broad spectrum of Comedy analysis.


Again, the game review I've been meaning to do is pushed back, again.   The IAG spectrum of this blog is very small.  Again sorry.


In other news, I'm searching up some more things to blog about for tomorrow, You'll love it.  But for now, take it easy for today.


The new poll is due tomorrow, and I promise the next one will be much more interesting.


Now go watch Sara Bareilles New music video for "Gonna Get Over You",  It is the most awesome thing ever.


Lots of Love,
Heather
