It’s an “electric jockstrap”
I’m gonna paste subtitles from that part. I tries editing the numbers away a bit but then couldn’t be arsed
00:06:52,786 --> 00:06:56,026 explain how an electric jockstrap works. 126 00:06:57,586 --> 00:07:00,306 Is there going to be a demonstration? 127 00:07:00,306 --> 00:07:01,857 Do you know, I kind of wish there were. 128 00:07:01,881 --> 00:07:04,244 - Is that what this is? - No. 129 00:07:07,268 --> 00:07:10,426 - That’s what this is. - Is it a warming thing, or…? 130 00:07:10,426 --> 00:07:13,106 An electric anything takes us into a period of time. 131 00:07:13,106 --> 00:07:16,146 - Galvanism. It’s Victorian, galvanism. - Galvan, exactly. 132 00:07:16,146 --> 00:07:18,626 Everybody thought electricity would cure everything, 133 00:07:18,626 --> 00:07:21,146 stimulate everything and achieve everything. 134 00:07:21,146 --> 00:07:23,826 And so at the back of every newspaper there was an electrical 135 00:07:23,826 --> 00:07:27,626 something, a galvanic bath, but these were electric jockstraps. 136 00:07:27,626 --> 00:07:30,466 Well, presumably, because they had all sorts of things to stop boys 137 00:07:30,466 --> 00:07:32,506 playing with themselves, it must have been… 138 00:07:32,506 --> 00:07:35,266 That would stop you, wouldn’t it? It would stop you, wouldn’t it? 139 00:07:35,266 --> 00:07:38,026 - If you had a shock in your pants. - No, I’m thinking it might be nice. 140 00:07:38,026 --> 00:07:38,881 - Yes. - Oh, really? 141 00:07:38,905 --> 00:07:40,946 You’re spot on. We men know that. 142 00:07:42,506 --> 00:07:45,506 Because there are certain code words in Victorian English. 143 00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:49,626 “Nervous and general debility, lost vigour, decline, 144 00:07:49,626 --> 00:07:52,186 and the whole train of gloomy attendants,” 145 00:07:52,186 --> 00:07:54,706 was standard code for impotence. 146 00:07:54,706 --> 00:07:58,226 Enter the Heidelberg electric belt. 147 00:07:58,226 --> 00:08:00,506 There it is. 148 00:08:00,506 --> 00:08:02,306 - It’s a bit high up, isn’t it? - Yes. 149 00:08:02,306 --> 00:08:03,626 Oh, I see, so actually there’s the thing down there. 150 00:08:03,626 --> 00:08:08,186 That’s really kind of buzzing away in the important area. 151 00:08:08,186 --> 00:08:12,066 And that is actually going to cause you to, well, I’m afraid 152 00:08:12,066 --> 00:08:16,546 the phrase is probably embarrassing, they advise “seminal economy”. 153 00:08:16,546 --> 00:08:18,700 - They’re advising against… - Is that with easyJet? 154 00:08:18,724 --> 00:08:19,466 Yeah. 155 00:08:21,146 --> 00:08:22,306 They’re advising against 156 00:08:22,306 --> 00:08:26,786 “wantonly jettisoning too much nervous substance.” 157 00:08:26,786 --> 00:08:29,426 - Which basically… - Is that what they called it? 158 00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:32,786 That’s code for semen. In other words, it’s essentially a sex toy. 159 00:08:32,786 --> 00:08:34,786 - “Wantonly jettisoning.” - It is… 160 00:08:34,786 --> 00:08:38,306 Don’t wantonly jettison your nervous substance. 161 00:08:38,306 --> 00:08:40,786 I like the idea of nervous semen just coming out going… 162 00:08:43,186 --> 00:08:46,066 He’s quite camp. Perhaps he’s having problems with his virility 163 00:08:46,066 --> 00:08:49,666 - cos he’s sleeping with the wrong sex. - Well, it might be that. 164 00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:53,066 But there genuinely was an item, as you can see, hugely advertised, 165 00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,546 there were lots of different… 166 00:08:54,546 --> 00:09:00,090 So is it designed then to lift the dormant chap or to de-nervify the semen? 167 00:09:00,114 --> 00:09:02,266 It’s basically designed saying, 168 00:09:02,266 --> 00:09:05,786 “Would you like to enjoy the experience of a little bit 169 00:09:05,786 --> 00:09:08,826 of a tingling down there that maybe has disappeared?” 170 00:09:08,826 --> 00:09:10,226 But it probably was just like, 171 00:09:10,226 --> 00:09:12,506 “That’s a damn good thing to take to a hotel room.” 172 00:09:12,506 --> 00:09:14,141 Why have they gone out of fashion? 173 00:09:14,165 --> 00:09:16,186 - I know. - Are these still for sale? 174 00:09:16,186 --> 00:09:18,946 I feel like if Ann Summers did them, you could see, 175 00:09:18,946 --> 00:09:21,706 not in the upstairs bit, the downstairs bit of Ann Summers… 176 00:09:21,706 --> 00:09:22,846 Tell me about this, Jason, because I… 177 00:09:22,846 --> 00:09:25,026 Upstairs is like, just like chocolate willies and that. 178 00:09:25,026 --> 00:09:28,586 Downstairs… Someone’s going to get hurt, Stephen. 179 00:09:31,346 --> 00:09:33,378 Really? I’ve never been in an Ann Summers. 180 00:09:33,402 --> 00:09:34,586 That’s weird. You’d think it would be 181 00:09:34,586 --> 00:09:36,020 the other way round, you’d have to go upstairs in order to… 182 00:09:36,044 --> 00:09:38,307 No, you come in at ground floor level. 183 00:09:38,331 --> 00:09:40,546 I’m only going off our nearest 12 branches. 184 00:09:40,546 --> 00:09:42,186 Yes, right. 185 00:09:43,306 --> 00:09:45,506 But, yeah, that’s the normal one. 186 00:09:45,506 --> 00:09:47,666 And then you sort of pop downstairs, you know, anniversary, or whatever… Good gracious. But the other thing about that is you got ten days’ free trial. 189 Wow! 190 I don’t know if you can see, but it’s actually printed there. 191 What if you send it back and it goes to somebody else? 192 That’s what I’m worried about with the free trial. 193 I know, exactly. You’re using a used one. 194 It is going to get much more acceptable and decent this programme, I promise you, as we move on.
explain how an electric jockstrap works. Is there going to be a demonstration? Do you know, I kind of wish there were. - Is that what this is? - No. - That’s what this is. - Is it a warming thing, or…? An electric anything takes us into a period of time. - Galvanism. It’s Victorian, galvanism. - Galvan, exactly. Everybody thought electricity would cure everything, stimulate everything and achieve everything. And so at the back of every newspaper there was an electrical something, a galvanic bath, but these were electric jockstraps. Well, presumably, because they had all sorts of things to stop boys playing with themselves, it must have been… That would stop you, wouldn’t it? It would stop you, wouldn’t it? - If you had a shock in your pants. - No, I’m thinking it might be nice. - Yes. - Oh, really? You’re spot on. We men know that. Because there are certain code words in Victorian English. “Nervous and general debility, lost vigour, decline, and the whole train of gloomy attendants,” was standard code for impotence. Enter the Heidelberg electric belt. There it is. - It’s a bit high up, isn’t it? - Yes. Oh, I see, so actually there’s the thing down there. That’s really kind of buzzing away in the important area. And that is actually going to cause you to, well, I’m afraid the phrase is probably embarrassing, they advise “seminal economy”. - They’re advising against… - Is that with easyJet? Yeah. They’re advising against “wantonly jettisoning too much nervous substance.” - Which basically… - Is that what they called it? That’s code for semen. In other words, it’s essentially a sex toy. - “Wantonly jettisoning.” - It is… Don’t wantonly jettison your nervous substance. I like the idea of nervous semen just coming out going… He’s quite camp. Perhaps he’s having problems with his virility - cos he’s sleeping with the wrong sex. - Well, it might be that. But there genuinely was an item, as you can see, hugely advertised, there were lots of different… So is it designed then to lift the dormant chap or to de-nervify the semen? It’s basically designed saying, “Would you like to enjoy the experience of a little bit of a tingling down there that maybe has disappeared?” But it probably was just like, “That’s a damn good thing to take to a hotel room.” Why have they gone out of fashion? - I know. - Are these still for sale? I feel like if Ann Summers did them, you could see, not in the upstairs bit, the downstairs bit of Ann Summers… Tell me about this, Jason, because I… Upstairs is like, just like chocolate willies and that. Downstairs… Someone’s going to get hurt, Stephen. Really? I’ve never been in an Ann Summers. That’s weird. You’d think it would be the other way round, you’d have to go upstairs in order to… No, you come in at ground floor level. I’m only going off our nearest 12 branches. Yes, right. But, yeah, that’s the normal one. And then you sort of pop downstairs, you know, anniversary, or whatever… Good gracious. But the other thing about that is you got ten days’ free trial. 189 Wow! 190 I don’t know if you can see, but it’s actually printed there. 191 What if you send it back and it goes to somebody else? 192 That’s what I’m worried about with the free trial. 193 I know, exactly. You’re using a used one. 194 It is going to get much more acceptable and decent this programme, I promise you, as we move on.
One gets the gist but as the speaker isn’t labeled and it’s a panel show with 4 guests and the host, the dialogue can be somewhat confusing.
People in the UK can probably get it on BBC iplayer or smth idk. “Just the Job” is the title it’s series 10 I think. This bit is after the first question, so about 5-10min in or smth.
You guys aren’t keeping up with the times, this is what AI is good for.
I threw it your time-stamped dump and asked it to summarise what the product is, and it gave me this:
The product being discussed is an electric jockstrap, which was marketed in the Victorian era as a therapeutic device designed to stimulate the male genital area. It uses electric shocks (based on the concept of galvanism) to address issues like impotence, with the belief that electrical stimulation could improve vigor and cure various ailments. The jockstrap was part of a wider trend in the 19th century where electricity was thought to have healing powers. This specific product was intended to provide a tingling sensation to the area, potentially aiding in sexual health, though it could also be seen as a form of early sex toy.
Nah, I’m using Gemini most of the time (despite it not being too reliable, someone has to use it for to evolve.
I’m just on my phone and couldn’t be arsed to paste large text anywhere, because those summaries are rather shite. It can’t tell the difference between the speakers and the dialogue is a large part of the QI experience.
But thanks yeah that’s more legible to most I’m sure
Yeah QI seems to be quite strict about their copyright online these days. I remember back in 2013/14 it was easy to find whole episodes on YouTube. I wouldn’t even have to go looking for them, the algorithm would just feed it to me. Shame they started to cut down on it, but thanks to that I started getting more into other UK panel shows.
I mean my autoplay pretty much defaults to full episodes of QI.
But I did check today, and they had claimed a few of the bigger playlists.
Luckily there’d still several “all qi episodes” playlists. They go up to like a few years ago.
But yeah clearly they’ve been a bit tighter, but UK panel shows are one of the easiest ones to find as complete episodes at least for me (Finland), giving me the impression that while BBC does care about their copyrights where they broadcast, they’re not really that bothered by people who wouldn’t be using BBC anyway.
Wild guess, are you from the UK? Pretty much all QI full episodes are available on YT on random channel but they always have something like “not available in the UK” in the titles.

I threw some regex at it. It’s not perfect.
Oh yes ah definitely better.

Blocked in Australia by Fremantle International.
They showed quite a lot of QI on Aussie TV, according to QI.
I these are basically available in countries in which QI doesn’t air.
