I think one of the funniest parts of QI is watching someone confidently explain an answer and then realise they've got the whole thing wrong.

If everyone knew every obscure fact, the show would probably turn into a straightforward quiz, and that wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. I quite like seeing clever people get caught out by something they would never normally think to question.

For me, the best moments are when a completely ridiculous answer turns out to be closer to the truth than the obvious one.
