#RussellHoward - Komedie
"The night time is the right time to fight crime."- PJ masks
Oh my god he was straight up just quoting the fucking intro song what-
No wonder why it rhyme in my head😂😂
then geko says i cant think of a ryme so he literlly quoted it
I think he was just getting rid of the media not sticking up for him
Oh sh*t lol. You win Life.
There's something beautiful about Russel Howard reciting In the Night Garden.
There's something beautiful about Russell Howard!❣️
I used to do a little rhyme which went
"Sound as a pound that you found on the ground beside a clown with a frown and the clown had a frown because he'd lost a quid!"
Russell was so close to almost the same rhyme😋
Nope
You forgot perfectly reciting in the night garden
Can't be the only one who would pay to see Russell Howard take part in a debate in the house of commons 😂
YES.
Why are tons of comments in here from women...
All watchers must be female or something.
No offense girls, but this guy is there to make politics fun all the while selling you on his wrong ideology. You should not be getting political advice from this man. Both for reasons of expertise, underhanded tactics, and bias.
@@lol-fw5wp we’re here for jokes, not for politics.
@@haroldinho9930 It's a political show.
Are you dumb.
Do you really think all the writers of the show want to do is "tell jokes"?
They want to deliver political news from their side of politics in a way which easy to consume for mainstream audiences.
Let me tell you some jokes while covertly converting you to my cult.
@@lol-fw5wp Take off your tin foil hat.
We had a comedian run for the danish parliament a few years back on a platform of:
1 - Nutella in army rations
2 - Constant tailwind in bike lanes
3 - No sex in the teacher's lounge
4 - Bigger christmas gifts for everybody
5 -...
Well, you get it. 😂 There were about 100 points like that. His party was called The Deliberately Workshy (it was only him). AND WE VOTED HIM IN JUST TO PISS OFF THE REST OF THE STUFFY PARLIAMENT!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
(He actually got the Nutella 😜)
Yo, getting the Nutella through is - in light of why and how he ran - actually a nice win!
More integrity already than your average politician-politician…
Was he a good politician?
We have a party like that in England called the Looney Party. There's a rule in our politics that's specifically for them. In the event the LP won, we are to have another vote for a serious party
@@ezelfrancisco1349
To be honest he never expected to get in and was a little bewildered. 😂 But he actually took it seriously and turned out to be a pretty good politician. For his noob speach (a tradition) he pointed out that he didn't know anything about advanced economic models but if they wanted to know more about the common man's struggles of daily life, substance abuse (he was a recovered alcoholic) etc. he'd be happy to teach them. That's the mindset he used for his decisions and tbh I would've voted for him again if he had decided to run a second time.
@@AdiG1 So a sham democracy then.
Boris Johnson is Macca Pacca and nobody can convince me otherwise
matt hancock is iggle piggle. i mean, romesh ranganathan made the comparison on one of his shows
don’t insult Macca Pacca like that :( lmao
Makka Pakka looks fun! Not sure of Boris...
@@elcrowther1078 you're right, i'm aorry
1:14 Russell Howard is racist.
don’t elect the cat. he is orange. In the US we know how bad orange politicians can be
The bad one was a human, you can trust cat will much more intelligent and capable
Orange Lives Matter
Mondays are now banned
Don't worry they know, the UK has access to Love Island
I'll choose cats over politicians every single time. 😂
Advice from CBeebies would make more sense than most of the shite that comes out of official advisors imho.
Disney Junior* (hate to be that person lol)
@@bagelcrisp are you American or just really young
@@emilymay6369 no I just know the channel
@@bagelcrisp I also hate to be that person but PJ masks is put on a British Toddlers version of BBC called CBeebies.
@@TheBlaziking257 no it's on the channel nick Jr
The House of Commons could easily be mistaken for a comedy show
Wait what it's not a comedy show?
@@simpilotadamt1012 Could've fooled me?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅
I would love to see a parody of it,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@necroticdemonart it is
Don't be silly, comedy shows are funny.
There's a difference between giving homeless people opportunities for additional income and giving them obligations to work. I'm all for allowing them to be able to pick potatoes for extra income but given the common mental and physical health challenges of the homeless, just telling them to work 12 hour shifts is completely stupid
They're just throwing out random ideas to gain popularity.
Bloody hell chill out no one asked for an interview
@Nic Berni nope he did just shows how poor labour are lol
I don't think 12 hour shifts of physical labor is very doable for healthy able bodied people either.
@@skylarjohnson7779 yeah, deadly for some.
Russel Howard is easily one of the best comedians
Jesus you have a low bar
@@fraserpaul6583 how?
literally just a metalhead he’s just terrible. He used to be great but then he went on and on about his politics just to prop up the liberal left wing establishment.
@@fraserpaul6583 then stop watching his videos lol, i find him funny
You have a low standard of “best”
Actually poverty and pets have a strong correlation. Poor people are often criticised for having pets, renters are denied the option to keep pets and yes if a pet is ill it is often put down as poor people can not afford the pet bills. Actually makes sense to highlight it if she grew up poor as it would resonate with the poorer elements of the electorate.
I still think that euthanasia should be a last resort. Have you tried to rehome the cat? Have you tried to give them up to an animal charity? Could the cat have lived ANY OTHER WAY?!
@@peacefulleopard8016 Before the Internet, there were really very few options. I have worked with poor constituents before, whose pets fell very very ill and treatment cost tens / hundreds of thousands of pounds (remember, animals don't get treatment on the NHS). Charities (especially in the Tories' age of austerity) have very limited capacities for pets with long-term illness. Neighbours (just as poor as you) can't afford to take on your cat, and rich people don't want a mangy old pet. Of course things are better now with the Internet.
@@peacefulleopard8016 rehoming is usually an option considered by those who can't afford to feed their pet, have to move somewhere they can't take their pet, or are rendered incapable of looking after their pet (I.e. injury or illness) rather than if the pet requires medical treatment.
But there still needs to be a suitable place to rehome them to.
@@matthewparker9276 lol bro let the cat out the house wth? He literally explained it clearly in the vid yet u miss the point
As great as these compilations are... and I absolutely love them, don't get me wrong... but... we really need Russell's finest lines on the current situations.
Watching British politics is both the most stressful but the most entertaining thing at the same time
I wonder what Russell's reaction was to Matt Hancock getting a Matt han-snog with someone in public despite Covid regulations.
Brilliant!!! And having watched videos of Russ's adventures with his mum, I can very well imagine her doing just that. 👍👍👌👌🤣🤣👏👏
cats are incredibly loyal but you have to earn it
I can confirm this is true. So worth it though. I loved our cat when he was alive...
That says a lot about Russel, doesn't it?
Russel: “her Mum had to throw her kitty in the wood chipper”
Me: Finally understands why my sawdust was red
The fact her name is Emily THORNBERRY and she was introduced regarding animals grabbed my mind immediately
OMG! THE WILD THORNBERRYS! My kids used to watch that! I was too distracted by the Brits doing what we always do in America...give female politicians a hard time. Everyone is so worried about their hair and clothes, but if you're a guy, nobody cares! I mean look at Trump and Biden. It doesn't matter what side you're on...both have hair issues and are closer to 100 than they'd like to admit...but it's all fine...nothing to see here! Lol The depressing animal story was a nice change from what they do here to women candidates!
Russel, the way you *really* get into the animal murder or abuse bits of your routines is both concerning and hilarious 😂
Hi Russell, I hope you have inherited the immortal gene.
his queen impression is so flawless that he could replace her if she dies and nobody would notice
@@angusevans6180 that's true
1:14 racist gene more like.
A little bit of Russell at 3.57am.. absolutely!
1:14 early morning racism you!
@@anonomous8719 what's racism got to do with watching a comedy video?
There's a really funny story from Good News series 7 about a cat being elected as mayor of a town in Alaska.
That cat would be a better prime minister than Boris Covid Johnson
A wet paper towel would be a better prime minister than the pig in a wig we call boris
Based on the length, I suppose this is only the weirdest moments from within a limited window of time.
I love how excited the crowd got when Russell’s dad came on stage 😂
An audience will forever get excited when a comedian gets one of their family members on the show, it's just tradition
There is a huge different between cats and politicians. People like cats.
Cats have a high IQ than the average MP
Higher IQ than the majority of the British public who continue to vote conservative or labour.
Russell: last thing Boris needs is advice from CBeebies
Boris just months later: Peppa Pig World happens
Kier Starmer's dad was a toolmaker?
Sounds about right.
underrated 💀
Thank God for Russell Howard! This man is literally the defender of common sense! We need more people like him! Imagine he was responsible for delivering the bbc news! The world would be a much much better place!
PLEASE do something up to date on matt hancock XD
I'm surprised that there wasn't the clip from Good News from Boris playing Rugby. Russell even said "imagine if he becomes Prime Minister".
Every time I see a Borris Johnson related skit, I look back on the fact that Boris and my English Literature teacher went to the same university...
Russell Howard - WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS !!!
Laughter 🤣 Guaranteed, whenever we watch him perform. Thank You, Russell, for warming our hearts in these difficult times.
As someone who lives in Gillingham and Rainham, the cat would be better than what we've got
That last guy Michael (didn't get the last name ) reminded me of our Lindsey graham. Glad were not the only ones.
Because of their use of marital aides? Or?
He looks more like Mitch McConnell though lol
The cat thing had me laughing so hard my husband thought I was having an asthma attack
He is very funny doing standup. The irony is that he makes me laugh and no longer has a TV show and others have a TV show and are unable to make me even chuckle once.
Tbh the cat could probably get more done than half the mps anyway 🤣
i love this man he is hilarious
@@daveyb6129 nah mate id rather russell
Hi-larious!!!
Also, his mom ain't wrong about Idris.
Love it! Absolutely brilliant
That Gove Tweet is brilliant
Sometimes I think comedians would be better politicians than any other person that already has that job.
Zelennsky is the evidence this is true
I think we're now at the point where children's tv characters would do a better job running the planet.
Imagine Super Friends Aquaman running for PM…
@@Aaa-vp6ug Or Bubble Guppies, that'd be interesting
I was crying. Ended up here. Thank you russel howard.
Missed opportunity to say
Candicat
I do love you Russell, always make me chuckle 😂🤙🏼
"The last thing Boris needs is advice from Ceebebies" - Now that you mention it... 🤔
Fair Play to the cat! Fighting stereotypes and fighting for what's right!
No loyalty? That's not true... both of my cats are extremely loyal to me.
Modi even holds onto my shoulder when he's cuddling up against me
People give cats bad reputations all the time. It's infuriating. I've owned cats for the last 15 or so years, and they're awesome.
If you truly believe that, stop feeding them for a couple days, and leave the door open. See what happens...
So are mine. They both follow me everywhere around the farm.
@@HotSkorpion Mines have stayed outside an entire winter on the farm while our farmhouse was being rebuilt, we were in town. I only could come up once a day to check on them (until I got sick.. Town air is dirty) anyway.. My cats remained on the farm and were perfectly fine. Cats are natural born hunters, if played with correctly as a kitten they have the skills needed to catch things. One of my cats regularly catches wild rabbits which are much faster than domestic ones.
@@Kat-mu8wq now that I can respect! I was aiming more at the people that keep animals in an apartment, are always paranoid they will escape, and then dare claim the pets are loyal...
you need to do more on youtube. binged watched all your stuff and i need MORE. you have me howling. and i REALLY need to laugh. thank you. just upload vids of you talking . please we all need more.
3:18 cat minister
5:02 dead cat
7:13 Boris dad debate
Oh ffs imagine having Lee Anderson as your local mp 😂
I love Russell's humor so much
5:45
"Alright mi duck, see you in a minute "
😳
😆
Anyone remember the Adam Sandler album with "The night time is the right time"?
Ah! Look at you here. Nice
never fail to make me laugh, definitely my favourite comedian
Still love this!
I was so looking foward to seeing u this weekend with my fiancee for our honeymoon treat but sorry to hear you can't perform at Peterborough now im devastated
Russell's dead cat routine was fucking genius, one of the best jokes I've heard him tell in a while
Sorry I can't come see you in Oxford this weekend as I have to self isolate 😭
Guys a comedy genius!!!!👌
Russel Howard should be the new voice actor for Maka Paka
He should lead our country that would be great
Ours too.
Boris Johnson already does
@@tornadotaylor8956 yes right down a hell hole
1:14 you want a racist leading the country?
Funny, but voting for a comedian is what got Boris in power, now look what we are. The British people need to take politics seriously and egg politicians on the world stage.
Perfect impersonation of Boris 🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
When is Russell Howard hour, back on sky?
1:14 hopefully never as he is racist.
@@anonomous8719 someone can't take a joke
@@anonomous8719 He said Digger to me, which would fit in with what he is saying as well
I'm gonna start clapping like that.
Russell could chain me up.
As much as I hate Cummings, I get the feeling he was adopting the Kimi Raikkonen approach to interviews
bwoah
finally a formula one fan!!!!!
Tell us you’re a F1 fan without telling us you’re a F1 fan… :)
PS Kimi is a legend and I miss him this season.
Makes me wish I knew more about British politics AND British cartoon superheroes
Surely they shouldve gone with this
*inserts picture of ice pube*
Holy fk in the night garden reference absolutely murdered me
Tell Russell that's the opening to a kids cartoon that night-time is the right time
Beautiful 😂
1:14 - Close 1 Russ
Dude is the reason I made it thru a quarantine
russell deadly. so funny. Where does he get his t-shirts?? i want to get some!!
I’m just waiting for the Matt Hancock clips
Same! 😊
When did he do this i havent seen this episode
Russell you are hilarious
Still when you think about it a cat would be a massive improvement to Boris Nobson.
This is the best political comedy show in the 🌎
Russel nearly got cancelled with that macca packa impression
@@daveyb6129 stop hating for once ffs
@@raged7518 hes allowed his opinion. Your lefty lot havent taken that right away just yet
I would vote for the cat too
Your so funny Russel 😂😂😂😂😘
The Macca Pacca was amazing.
1:54 - 1:57 Perfect Russell Howard Comdey!!!!!
It turns out Cbbeebies is actually Boris best source of information, in particular Peppa Pig...
Oh I don't know kids programmes might make more sense the numpty Boris 😂😂😂
what was he referencing at 1:20 i feel like i should know i just cant place it for the life of me and its not really something i can google hahah
No, Emily's cat escaped
3:31 for proof
That just sounded like Boris lol
Boris actually did a speech like that "wakka pakka" later on.True.
1:28 And not only did this guy get elected, he just 'boycotted' one of England's most successful performances at an international football tournament since 1966 because he wasn't happy with the players' anti-racism gesture...
You can call it anti-racism, but BLM literally said on their official website that it's a Marxist organisation that intends to destabilise western civilization.
Not only that, but it's an American thing too. Why the fuck should we support our football team doing some American football thing. That's a really bad idea.
So maybe just, you know, don't support communist virtue signalling poorly disguised as a protest for equality. Especially considering that these "victims of racist hate" are paid hundreds of thousands a week, but want working class folk to be banned from social media and fired from their jobs just for criticising some forwards for not being able to hit top bins, when Harry Maguire, a centre-back, managed to break a fucking GoPro in the top corner of the net.
Maybe if people spent less time tweeting and more time doing their jobs, they'd get less criticism. Because in that regard Rashford is just like President Little Hands, who I'm sure you'd be more than happy to call a numpty for that exact reason.
1/ BLM is not a Marxist org/movement - show me where they say they are?!
2/ it's not a 'US football thing' - BLM is an international/global movement for equality in the face of ongoing oppression and prejudice. UK police kill and harm black people too, it's not just a US issue. The numbers may be lower, but that's arguably because so few of our police carry lethal weapons.
I've seen first-hand the way London police deal with me (white, cis, educated) and my non-White friends/family/neighbours, and it is NOT the same way! Our next-door neighbour's 14yr old got jumped and assaulted on his way home from the local shops, police arrested him and wouldn't let any family members near him, insisting hw was dangerous, under suspicion, etc. And not giving him first aid, while he was bleeding on the street outside his home (broken nose, cracked ribs, bruises, etc)
Multiple neighbours came out to vouch for him and his friend, explain their age that they'd been running scared, going home to be safe from the gang of asian boys chasing them, yet the cops kept insisting he was legally an adult (he's tall for his age but def 14), it was black-on-black gang violence, and later turned up with a warrant and ransacked the family home. Finding nothing because it was all baseless allegations but, of course, being a black working class kid and a single mum they must be anti-social/'what's wrong with this country', etc. They got no apologies either, kid released to go to the hospital (they didn't even take them there, they had to get a cab) and told to be more careful/'think about your future'!
That's just the most recent incident, but by no means the only one I've seen.
5:10 omg dying of laughter lol
It would be awesome for someone to animate some of his bits Rocky Gervais Show style
Cut to Boris Johnson telling the CBI all about Peppa Pig
Agapang indeed. Good thoughts.
At least the cat tries to hide his shit. Most MPs just let it spew out of their mouths.
Dominic Cummings was taking the piss out of Boris......lol 😂😂😂
