So weird not hearing any audience noises
Stole my comment XD
bro it took me a minute to realise why lol
actually no, I think there is an audience but theyll be distanced, like in cinemas
@@lils641 we didnt hear them
There is sometimes and other times there’s not it’s strange
This lockdown was so heavy even the introverts are starting to struggle.
Yeah really - at least before, we had the choice to go out occasionally if we wanted to. Now we don't have that choice because everything's fucking closed.
Why would an introvent want to lose their freedom more than an extrovert? I see no logic here.
@@ilarious5729 it's because introverts are more suited to having their alone time for longer. But because we've been like this for so long - it's getting to introverts now. At first lockdown felt like a regular school holiday - now it just feels like it's never going to end
as an introvert, I can attest to that 100% 😅😩
@@stitches768 i know, I'm an introvent, but the lockdowns have always been shit cause you lose your freedom, not cause i am alone i don't care about that, still don't. Only thing thats messed up is that im not free.
Fairplay bing a comedian with no audience... This shit isn't easy for them...
tbf this shit isn't easy for anyone, but I'm sure it's a lot easier for well off comedians than the people getting laid off because of covid
Except "Jase" at 28:09 he's always gonna be there.
At this point he knows he’s funny lol
@@bobob4477 Jase will always be there to laugh at Russell being alone. That's Jases job. He's not a behind the scenes guy, he's the "laugh at Russell's loneliness guy"
Boris really do be acting like he's campaigning rather than actually being in charge
Same with trump in the 🇺🇸
I read that as champagning but I guess that wasn't far off.
He’s a lot like trump
@@wendyboothman294 Bojo is still better than Trump, if only because I don't think Bojo would send his supporters to storm Parliament if he lost the next general election.
Is
As someone who had an anaphylactic shock, almost died and was told by 111 that it would be fine cause they are following guidance, I know that this government has made us the laughing stock of Europe 😂
Could be worse.
Could be the USA.
@@isaack2274 Both governments are as bad as each other. This tory party was the worst party to be a charge of helping us in a pandemic, when they cut funds from the NHS, the care system and the cladding on buildings to increase fire risks and cause problems like Grenfell. The USA government are ten times worse but they are both just as bad
The UK were counting on Trump to win so they could have a trading deal to keep the economy alive. Instead a man of IRISH desent won the election, who is not a big fan of the British government (to be fair who is).
We weren’t already?
@@JA9339 who did you vote for.
Is it bad that this is my main news intake lol
Same
yh that's pretty bad. No news source is ever unbiased; should look at the news from many sources with different perspectives
Funny and informative what's better 😂🤣
@@serhiy1132 Except this much trashy news can make people extremely depressed, especially now where we aren't allowed to see the majority of our loved ones. This being the main method of news intake where the rough news crosses over with a laugh is extremely helpful and can easily help stop depression rates from increasing.
@@hiccup6285 Laughing doesn't prevent depressing wth
Government: No groups bigger than 6
Also government: Keeps primary and high schools open with classes of 30 in a room
but a wedding of 15, or a funeral of 30, thats okay
What's especially crap is apparently from my mum who works in education, parents are not testing their kids because it's only illegal to go into school when they've tested positive (and the quick one has a 30% false positive so extra insensitive to just not) apparently cases shot up in the school right before Christmas as that's when they started testing as a 2 week isolation wouldn't affect them as much during the holidays
we are in a bubble of 300
At my school, were in a bubble of 84, we have 3 rooms to prevent contamination, regular rigorous cleaning, compulsory masks, scheduled handwashing, reduced curriculum for subjects such as PE, no parents evenings etc etc, to me, that sounds a lot safer than somewhere like a pub where these groups of 6 can meet, where there are no masks, little social distancing, people are drunk and there are different sets of people all the time. In my school we've had something like 3 or 4 cases since September. It's not as bad as people are making it out to be and we deserve a fair chance at exams and an education, I agree primary schools shouldn't be open but when you're in an exam year it's a very different story
This is 100% what I've been saying! Each child might have siblings in other classes/years/bubbles. They're carriers. Simple as that.
My school is on a cliff and we have to keep the windows open now. It's that dam cold the teachers are telling us to keep our coats on. Boris open your bloody windows and freeze like everyone else.
My school is also enforcing keeping all windows open - unfortunately at the same time we headed back to school all the radiators broke down for 2 months and we weren’t allowed to wear anything extra. We had teachers bundled up in winter coats and scarves whilst we were sat there shivering!
Are you in Newhaven?
@@hattiesimpson8166 same,,, one teacher was 'walking around the school' wearing a beanie, gloves, tights + socks, winter coat and scarf saying "it wasn't that cold" and we all had to take off our coats. the heater wasn't even working,,,, its sooooooooooo stupid
@@hattiesimpson8166 that's illegal, even though you're a student you have human rights. Fight it.
@@hattiesimpson8166 that's terrible n makes no sense! Why can the teachers bundle up in dire conditions but the students have 2 sit there w no coats! What's the point? Who can learn anything like that except how 2 wipe ur nose under ur mask! My God!
for a comedian its such an important part to have the audience laughing. to continue to make people laugh when there is no one to actual see laughing it quite selfless in a way. this guy is a national treasure.
Sadly, more common sense and advice can be found in this compilation than a large proportion of UK mainstream media.
Thank you, Russell, for saying what the majority of us have been at least thinking this year!!
Best of wishes to all
Right, who else thought Russell's three word slogan would be "Go ****** yourself"?
So, all in all, the most important bit of advice is "Do not spoon your Granny."
Unless you're holding a sausage roll outdoors
^ this guy knows ^
@@dominicbarstow1450 you mean a cornish pasty
@@ceo1887 ah yes a pasty and a sausage roll
@@dominicbarstow1450
Or a scotch egg.
I accidentally called 'Boris Johnson' 'Boris Nonsense' and decided not to correct myself
It’s kewl, my 7 year old has a bit of a speech impairment I asked him who our prime minister was and he said bodger Johnson, let’s face it I can’t correct what’s right
Tbh, I love the moment where a newscaster accidentally calls Jeremy Hunt, Jeremy C*not, live on the air.
Spitting image doesn't need to build new dummies. They can have ours.
There's always one guy who likes the electric fence, though...
Like, too much...
The heckler who clapped when he made the joke about his eye 😂😂
😂😂 too funny
That bloke who cussed" ffs! " Total mood.
Russel howard: who the fuck is playing pass the parcel this Christmas?
Me post christmas: Me I guess since my sister decided to give every present she wrapped multiple layers.
I know your pain 😂
same
I didn't get any presents
I did that one year to my sister
She nearly went into early labour
The government says the NHS Covid App is brilliant!
...it can't tell when I've come home from Uni for the holidays and have moved A HUNDRED FUCKING MILES.
It doesn't really track your location but rather people you've been in close proximity with. You'd have to change the postcode you entered to change the location shown on the main screen
It also only works when you have Bluetooth on if u wanna check the risks in your location. Trust me, it doesn't work completely offline and if you don't have data, then you are basically screwed
@@CoasterChallYT I keep bluetooth and data on permanently and its still a piece of shit. "world beating" my fucking arse.
Every time he uploads, I feel like a child opening a present.
It’s so sad that we laugh at politicians and listen to comedian’s political advice
Thinks he can run the country 🙄
@@joedale567 Russell? He really doesn't 😂
It's so sad that politicians are so full of shit that we'd rather place our faith in comedians
@@FullyChargedSRG really does, always has a go at them and says such a dumb solution. Would love to see him do it
@@joedale567 you for real chap?
Boris is a mong, along with fake cry baby hancock. How many clips do you need to see that?
You have a proper issue, if you cannot see the wood for the trees😂
a friend summarised the state for me: how can we hope for good from a man who's initials are BJ
It's even worse than that because a bj serves a purpose n actually gets positive results!
Lotta guys like BJs...
“My nan’s dying of COVID”
Twat Hancock: I know isn’t our government doing a splendid job :D
Never clicked so fast! Thank you for getting me through 2020 x
Well said...
This guy saved my sanity ;-)
Matt Hancock blackmailing my age group was so annoying. Not like you’re sending us back to school with thousands of kids ugh our governments a pisstake, they’re gonna send schools back in tier 4’s
Edit: just saw the bit about avoiding a second lockdown... aren’t we on our third one??
Soon maybe, we've only had 2 so far
This video is from all over the lockdown, like the full government response all put together. Baffled me until I realised. 🤣 This 3rd one is ridiculous mind, our government doesn't know its arse from its elbow.
Yes this is our third wave.
One of the lads was working away, staying at a pub. Had a few pints and needed to order a substantial meal - he ordered his breakfast for the following morning
I respect him for still doing this without an audience. Must be very weird for him
Definitely weird not to hear the audience.
I can hear the audience...
@@hwp576 in some clips you couldn’t
I prefer it.
THIS MAN IS 40 YEARS OF AGE
Genuinely thought he was like 28
Unbelievable
No way is he 40...
@@freya-louise8805 fuckin' google it!
@@freya-louise8805 Yeah! FUCKIN" GOOGLE IT!
Wait what... 😧
Ah yes. No groups above six... and yet 30 in a class, 100 in a corridor and 100 in the lunch hall.... no wonder my year, (11) has been sent home twice. The windows definitely help, we can definitely all concentrate whilst freezing and having wearing coats in class being banned. I don’t want to go back to school, but I can’t work from home properly. This is just not helping anyone.
The sign language bloke looks like Dara obrian with hair
Rowan Atkinson
This feels like that one season on Red Dwarf that didn’t have a live audience. You know it’s funny and you know when people would be laughing but without it it just feels lonely :(
Which season was that again?
@@judge_dreddpool7593 Series 9, aka Back to Earth.
'the three bellends' pub bit made my day XD...
Imagine Russell being your dad man, every day would be a scream lol.
"go back to work or risk losing your job" uh excuse me boris your country is in a lockdown and thats not helping anybody ಠ︵ಠ
"Dont kill your gran by catching coronavirus and passing it on"...
Umm... encouraging schools where social distancing is practically non existent....
You can still hear the audience laughing during the punchlines😂
Feels weird without an audience
I can’t even imagine hosting a comedy show to no audible reaction. Must be difficult to get used to.
Check out James Cordons late late show in America- without an audience is hilarious
I though that a spider was on my phone.thanks to your picture🤣😂😭
Needed this thank you.
My Lazy eye is far lazier than yours
Save the NHS - we're still trying to sell it.
Food flies more than we do
Nice to see the US isn’t the only one that handled this terribly 😅👍🏻
I won’t give up on humanity yet but my god is it tempting
Oh mate you don't know the half of it... Boris and Trump look a like for a reason, there's a specific height and consistency of shit stacking you only get once in a blue moon... And we voted them in office....
It was colonized by the Britiah so I guess this makes sense😅😅
100 cases: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
10 million cases: go to work :)
I actually heard myself laugh out loud for the first time without the audience laughter 🤣 this guy is a real g
Can Russell just do the news from now on?
Don't you think boris johnson looks tired?
Harriet jones former prime minister
@@sky0799 we know
Nah he looks like he has been sleeping in a charity shop dustbin
I love Doctor Who.
Dope reference.
Ali G would do a better job than Boris Johnson.
Brilliant
People: Lockdown y/n?
Gov: Mayb'doodle-noyesn't?
i'm crying in every possible emotion
"The prime minister is trying to help prevent a second lock down'
Me watching this in the third on 😑
Matt Hancock: "Dont kill your gran by catching coronavirus"
Me: But she is 80 and has actively stated to the rest of the family, "I dont give a damn if I catch it, I just wanna continue to enjoy life while I have it".... the same woman who said "I cant go into lockdown, I have things to do".
She has a wonderful outlook on life thanks for sharing I hope she’s with you for a long time 🕊🕊💜☮️🦉
Russel is make the funny side of Covid-19 it helps us make it though isolation
"I'm leaving you!" Oh, wow, what a prediction. 😭
Russel never fails to make my day.
Hilarious.
The Government Daily briefing on Coronavirus where a joke
Kinda like here in the US...
Feel like there’s an absolutely sick (heh) beat to be made from politicians going “er” or “um”
Yes please! Get it done! Would love 2 c it!
Look up placeboing's Obama "If" remix, it's a pretty good vibe.
Man I love living in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Your so lucky you have a government that has common sense and a government that care about their citizens
Same...imagine still having to be in lockdown??
Lol screw that, heading to pub later before going to the rugby game, anyone wanna join??
@@puppysoda7062 don't rubb it in 😆 I'll do anything to go to the pub, but I get to watch the rugby... perks of being a coach
Purpleish Panda...well done! Here in Aus we have done reasonably well too.Funny how we used to look to the UK and USA for guidance, eh? Good thing we don't do that anymore. Do we?
I am glad I am in Western Australia, we have even done better than NZ but sadly get lumped in with the rest of Australia, which compared to the rest of the world isn’t so bad, but it’s annoying having the east coast complain about McGowans restrictions/borders and yet we haven’t had a second wave. I know some of it is just luck, but it’s also the quick border restrictions when another state shows cases plus very strict borders, regardless of how the federal government keeps fucking it up(we have had several disease ships come into port after McGowan asked for a closed border, but our border controls thankfully have caught them all).
The main mistake that was made was lifting the lockdown as soon as the R number went below 1, it should of been for longer, end of!
No it should never have been a lockdown in the first place
All the comments on here just show how gullible people are and now we just act like we’re Bobby Ewing stepping out of the shower……..
It was all a dream😂
Thank you for your humour this year, I have been stuck in self isolation for 11 months, you have helped make it bearable.
I've been in total isolation my whole damn life and nobody gave a damn
Thank you Russell Howard, I needed that laugh
Nah I love you man you are literally so inspirational you take dark gloomy and depression subjects, turn them into comedy whilst still making great educational content and points and you even stick at it when no one is in the audience to laugh because you find it important and your actually the best person in this country hands down
It's hilarious at the beginning that they felt the need to specify that it was adults being asked to go back to work 😂
Eat out to help out
That was hilariously done
These videos literally saved me from 2020
I believed Boris couldn’t surprise me anymore
Oh boy was I wrong
I cant help but notice that Russ is looking a bit like shaggy
Strange, I though he was lookin' more Scooby than Shaggy.
Haven't the UK been though 3 lock downs this year what next
Feels like it 😅
A 4th🤔
If you live in tier 4 then yeah
Tier 5 coming
Only 2 technically.
😂😂😂 love your humour ✊❤️🇨🇦
Tier 5 lockdown here we come folks
No need to panic yet,
if it gets any worse...there is always tier 6,7,8 etc etc
Tier 5 is a thing???
@@calypso9390 Oh yes. Have you seen the Simpsons Movie? The gov will waste more tax payers money to put a dome over a region to keep all the poor people in whilst they host parties to celebrate what a great job they did.
Be sarcastic, but I won't be surprised if they did
Surprised I'm not in tier 5 since because the north always has to in a higher tier than London
But still, no one is asking the elephant in the room question, why are we having lockdowns, because the NHS can’t cope, but why? Simple years of under funding because of poor risk planing and thinking ahead by politicians and ALL those politicians present and passed need to be accountable
Yeah there was all that talk of underpayment for the NHS.. Then a month later the politicians had a pay rise and nobody said ANYTHING!!!?
@@palmeristo nothing new there; and the best part is these A holes claim that an independent body awards their pay rise !
That I don’t have a definitive answer too, I would say myself, many years, probably back to the 60’s, certainly the 70’s. Would I would say from fact is that whatever projects the British government have planed over the last 20 years, they have got their figures drastically wrong, let’s just look at one example HS1 - how much was that originally costed? Now look at it 3 or was it 4 times over budget at last count! and this is the same for many many government projects; in a nutshell ministers and politicians are not qualified project managers and have no idea how to lay out the foundations (project charter), plan, execute, control and monitor and end a project successfully.
No party in particular, as I said, all parties and all politicians, I believe all voted into power past and present should take blame and more importantly, and sadly, politicians are not held accountable or should I say held properly accountable. Let me give you an example, if an employee of an organisation does whatever to require being sacked (legitimate - not managed out) does this happen to a position? Are they then band from holding or standing again? They should be! Or when politicians spend tax payers money and get it wrong, what happens then? if a business person get a financial decision wrong, they may lose their business along with the various additional effects. What penalties does a politician pay when they waste tax payers money?
@@emilywhite8543 furthermore, pardon the texting, working off a mobile at the moment and I realise I have miss typed a few words, further to your question, I agree no one should be set up to fail, how do we over come this in industry? We train people - so maybe, their needs to be a CPD system for politicians? After all it works relatively well in business and industry
russell makes me crease so much. i love it
Russell Howard for prime minister 😍
Awesome as always 👍👍 you have kept us sane and honest through this 👍
As an NHS worker I understand why we are never told when a member of the government comes for a visit 🤷♀️😁
The health leader in Denmark very quickly went out after the lockdown and said that "sex is good, sex is healthy, we approve of sex" xD They just adviced you to find a 'buddy'.
A "friend with benefits".
Eat Out Help Out....... Stay In Get Thin Over Christmas
I would love to see Russel Howard do a skit on how uni students have been ignored and are not getting the financial help they need during the pandemic
You’re amazing ♥️ thanks for the truth of it & the laughter
I about fell out with the Substantial Meal beer! 😳🤣
I always thought having Guinness and having a multi-vitamin was all you needed for to get your daily 5. 😁
I do the Guinness part! Takes care of everythink! (N no not a typo!)
It would have been nice to see a timeline in the buttom of the screen, with each clip marked on.
I was watching this, got to half way through. Fuck we're not even in September. Yup seems about right
Who's here during lockdown 3.0
5:42 best advice I've heard all year. Thanks Russell :)
No audience but I'm laughing like mad 😂🤣
Can hear the laughs where it should be
19:40 the spreadsheet didn't run out of rows; it ran out of columns. Seriously, they created a new column for each case.
I’m a 15 year old trying to get a education when we go back to school there no social distancing at all. Over 20 (including teachers and students) got COVID-19. And there track and trace systems are rubbish my sister knew someone who sat next to someone who got tested positive and didn’t get send home.
Little Angel mask up, glove up, do whatever u can 2 protect urself, ur sister, family, cause no1 else really is!
Russell is one of the few good things this year
loved the blaiming of the spreading due to young people of my generation...when on a trip to tesco today i saw about half a dozen people of the older generations not wearing masks correctly
It’s hypocritical.
🤷🏻♀️
A cheese grater makes for an excellent exfoliator.
Russell, you are my hero.
Russell is so strong to do this to a camera and no audience. Thanks for staying
They have blamed immigrants, single mothers, children (after they said schools were safe), young adults, over 50's, NHS staff.
They will never take responsibility willingly, we need to hold them to it and the consequences.
Hahah my testing centre is less than 5 minutes from where I live. I’ve never had to drive that far anywhere because I live in jersey 🇯🇪
I went to jersey a year ago last summer, nice place
@@rolinti9146 :)
Ok
we nearly had a school trip to jersey but it got cancelled by corona, rip.
My sister lives in Northern Ireland. She tried to get tested and the options she was given were Stranraer in Scotland or Preston.
The book for an emergency part reminded me. Today i saw a poor old man trying to book an eye test for the 5th time after having tried a while before. They refused to let him into the reception room while it was pissing down raining because of social distancing despite having more than enough room within and tolled him he needed to book online, sending him home again. He explained how he cant access the internet and his calls are being declined or is told to book through the website.
Companies need to get their shit together with all this booking bullshit. The woman speaking to him legit tried to guilt trip him, telling him that "Times are hard". He is at the age most at risk and this company is really telling him they have it hard???
Thanks Russel for lifting our spirits this year. Still doing a great job without an audience
Have him work for Parliament!
“I’m pregnant” “not if I put on this condom” 😂😂
In Northern Ireland things weren't too bad until eat out to help out... Our health minister Robin Swan said at the end of the scheme in late August, he saw "no causation in the increase of causes"... Lol
Back to the future joke had me 😂😂
Thanks whatever you really cheer me up!
I hope you are doing a summary of 2020 show. Please !!
Like wasn’t it the rule of 6 before the rule of six, everyone just kind of forgot
“Go to work n loose ur life or stay home n loose ur job” think I’ll stay home mate 😂😭😭😂
it’s so eerie in some parts
