I know there's more stupid stuff out there, that's the stuff I avoid like the plague. I guess it's just that I regard QI as an intellectual show, so it bothers me that people who are probably actually quite smart in real life play dumb like that. (Part of the reason it bugs me so much is simply that my sister used to do that ALL THE TIME...she's pretty smart, but she used to play dumb and expect us to think it was funny, when really it pretty much just made us sad. So it bugs me when other people do it too.) And I've noticed that comedians in general tend to be very smart people (heck, I've heard that even Larry the Cable Guy is a really smart dude IRL, for all that his comedy is...not.), so I'm assuming that Lee is also fairly smart. (Johnny...well. I'm not sure I even want to talk about him, because honestly, he's the only thing that has ever made me want to flat-out turn off QI. *twitch*)
I love Bill Bailey! Also, Rob Brydon is the first person I've ever heard with a Welsh accent. Fun fact. XD And yes, the long socks are awesome. There was a time when he would tweet pictures of his long socks - like, people would ask him about the status of his socks and he'd take pics of whatever socks he was wearing at the time and post them. Which is silly, but I found it entertaining at the time.
ETA: Also! Ross Noble! Usually I don't like it when they add new people, but he's AWESOME.
