Oh my days, that bit about the rabbit...we came back from holiday once to find "Pasta", our beautiful little lop ear, flopping about all over his cage. We thought he'd had a stroke. So, Mum and Dad said, "I'm sorry, love, but we have to put him down." I was distraught. Crying my eyes out on the way to the vets. I didn't want to see him go so I waited in the car. 30 minutes later, Mum is walking out with this crate...turns out, he just had an ear infection so he'd lost his sense of balance. Nothing a few ear drops for a week couldn't fix. I was elated. We drove home and my Dad was out the front, looking very sombre, then very, very confused as he saw me bounce out the car looking so happy. He must have thought I was a psychopath. Turns out, whilst we'd been at the vets, he had DUG a GRAVE for Pasta and was preparing to do a little funeral for him! We had a good laugh about that. We then nicknamed him Lazarus. Dad never bothered filling in the hole, so we tucked him in there after another 4 happy rabbit years. Bless him. It was sad when he went, but I also couldn't stop a giggle, remembering the situation we had 4 years before. RIP Pasta (aka the Lazarus legend).
omg thank goodness they did the sensible thing and checked with a vet first! Was that mum's decision? ;) My dad didn't kill a rabbit in front of me, but one of the babies got stuck behind something and was squashed to death (they had full run of the garden). My dad put the pancaked rabbit in the bin, right at the top, so it was the first thing I saw when I went to take the rubbish out. Thanks, Dad...
I agree pal. One of the best comedians to walk this earth. I'd love to see him one day. The way he is with his mum has me in stitches every time, even the way he talks about her and his impressions of her, has me rolling on the floor crying with laughter every time without fail 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@barryrathbone A few days ago I happened upon the word 'Indigenous people' twice in a few hours, and both times read 'Ingenious people'. I was relieved to learn that I am not as subconsciously racist as I feared!
I was not expecting to hear about a rabbit being bludgeoned to death right before "Two reasons: his best mate is a monkey, and he's got a theme park in the back garden!"
I'm a Kiwi and Russell is dead right about Jacinda Ardern, she mothered New Zealand through COVID and we had a record low number of deaths. it was illegal to leave your house for anything other than essentials and exercise. And if your business was in trouble because of lockdown, you just went online, filled in a short form and the government put thousands of dollars into your bank account the next day, a gift not a loan. My wife is self employed and she did it twice. AND our taxes are about the same as the USA. THAT'S what a shot of Socialism looks like, Americans should try it one day!
@@pedroRodriguesMD He's not, but even if he was, what of it? Do you really want to be like the people that criticize comedians for who they make fun of when it's their entire role to make fun of people?
@@kaiser_suzi_He literally interviewed Bernie Sanders and had a serious, positive, leftist political discussion with him on TV. He is absolutely left-leaning to an extent, and I personally don't mind it at all. I also haven't seen any examples of him ragging as hard on the left as he does to the right. Which, to be fair, may be due to the fact that the left just hasn't done anything as entertaining as when the right got angry at the girl M&M no longer wearing high heals, or accusing Spongebob of pushing "climate change propaganda." There's just way more comedic value in it.
I really hope that Russell will come visit and do a gig in Sunderland, NE England, he's literally one of the very few people who can make me cry with laughter and laugh so much my cheeks and stomach muscles ache. He's just the best in the biz. xxx ❤🤗❤
@@MadDragon76 Damn! I’d literally be a chocolate puddle in that heat! 🥴 I hate it when it gets over 33 over here. The UK is not built for heat. Nobody has air conditioning as standard. Our homes are built to retain as much heat as possible.
Adults in many Southern US states: "Now, kids, do NOT have sex. Do NOT do these things that feel good, it's only for married couples. Do NOT enjoy yourselves, do NOT experience the most pleasure you'll ever have. And for God's Great Sake, whatever you do, do NOT ejaculate and get release from the pent-up sexual urges you're feeling!" Students in those states: "Mom, Dad... I'm pregnant."
My mother use to say "You are so cute, I am going to cut you up and sell you for kindling wood." Honestly to this day I suspected she was a serial killer.
To be fair it is pretty damn hot here in Florida and our people do have to be warned not to shoot at hurricanes....... Maybe warning the women here not to do the ice+V thing would be a good idea
I grew up in Florida, back when it was purple, and they needed a dose of Russell's mum telling them all the things not to do, even then. Florida Man is wilder now than he was in my day. 😳😱🐊
That wouldn't have been my house growing up. My mom cared, but she believed in learning by doing. My dad was big on forbidding things. He forbade me from listening to KISS (yes, I'm that old) because "they are Satanic music" even though he didn't believe in God.
You've made me realise how lucky I am. My parents are religion, Roman Catholics. I was into punk & metal growing up, including black & death metal. They've never once told me off for listening to it. My Mum even likes some of the music I enjoy too, such as Marilyn Manson & Cradle of Filth. lol
@@angelaburrow8114 Thankfully dad didn't really know what I did, so it wasn't all that bad. The TV said KISS was bad, so he told me not to listen to them, but I could have listened to KISS within earshot of him and he wouldn't have known it was them. I liked a lot harder music and he never had an issue with it.
@@prabhakarrao4922 Wait, what's the truth? Everything I've seen seems to have been fairly positive. But then, I've heard passing comments from people that live or lived NZ that it's getting real bad. Usually from workmates so we don't have time for me to stop and ask them how.
Fathers think they're supposed to toughen up their sons and mothers are pretty sure their sons aren't smart enough to survive. Mothers know how tough women need to be and fathers know how delicate women can be.
QLD Australia here, it's not uncommon to be in the 40s. But we also wouldn't cope well with the well-below-freezing temps they regularly do, so it's all about what you're acclimated to. It gets below 20 here and people are pulling on jumpers and shivering.
31 is quite hot for UK. It’s an average summer day here in New Zealand, gets to about 36-38 where I live on East Coast of the North Island. Of course it’s winter at the moment and got to -1 overnight so far. Brrr. I have a friend in Texas and always comparing the weather 😂
This guy is hilarious. First he makes a very good stand for the woman......and then goes down the rabbit hole (pun intended) with a "licky wooo" joke hahahahahaha, I thought I sharted myself. The Lava lamp made it even worse. Man this guy is witty, this is how comedy must be, geez would be a laugh to have him in a nice big pub, having a hauf and a pint and this guy making you chuckle for an hour after the show
When you announce "I'm gonna do a joke you're not gonna like.." right after a bunny murder joke, you know it's time to buckle up.

He is addictive. His humour is smart AND deprived of meanness and vulgarity even when he's saucy or swears. He has character.
My mom. “Don’t use the escalator. A boy got stuck and dismembered on one of those. It ripped his leg off”.

Oddly, I was told the same thing.
I just love him so much. I wish I could see him in person.

Not sure how much of this has been you, and how much was your branders, but it was worth a laugh.
The dad's may have allowed it if it was their son, but Dad's are often very protective over their daughters. Vice-versa for the mothers and their son.
