One of Steven Fry’s characteristics on the QI show is that
he’s very smart and usually knows the answers, since he has the answer cards.
Because of that, it is very unusual to see him wrong, which comes as a surprise
to the audience when he is wrong and Alan Davies can very easily balance a
broom on the palm of his hand, brush side down. The audience likes this moment
of Steven Fry rip up his cards as it isn’t a thing that you see often and comes
as a new experience. This then makes the programme more pleasurable as the
audience can expect anything.
Another thing that was very pleasurable about that clip is
the how Steven Fry makes mature men do very childish thing, which is trying to
balance a broom whilst moving your hands. This makes the audience not only to
relate to their childhood, but also it makes them laugh at the whole dumbness
and weirdness of the situation, as if those men who should be able to do it
easily are having some problems with doing that simple task.
Alan Davies’ comic relief is also very entertaining, as he
is usually the child of the show, however he really proves the audience is
right by doing ridiculous things like balancing the broom on his face.
