THE VAULT - Steve Hughes offical RUclips Channel is now launching The Vault old stuff you've never seen before.
A course to change a light bulb. Health & Safety has gone too far. Steve's take on it is well, a pisser, and we have to thank him for bringing to our attention the ridiculousness of the truth behind the matter as light bulb changing licences are actually a thing. We've said it before and well say it again Steve in the funniest guy on the internet. We hope you like his live stand up here. Like it and share it around and if he's comes on tour to a city near you make your you get down to see him.
I'm a 50-year-old Aussie I've just discovered Steve. I get it. Thank you RUclips and Welcome home brother.
Absolutely killing it. The world needed Steve Hughes back then and not enough people were listening, we sure as hell need him now.
he's back!!!!!!!
I filled out the risk assessment form before watching this in case I spat out my drink whilst laughing.
I too remember the halcyon days of walking around holes without falling into them. Good times.
I once went up a rickety staircase with 2 friends without a safety harness, hard hat, steel toe boots, safety goggles.
We must've been mental!
No, we were 9 mate.
Need more like Steve he's the man
Keep em comin Steve your a legend mate . Hope your keeping well bud .
Only heard Steve for the first time 2 days ago. One of the funniest guys I’ve heard. He’s so true about the OHS rules today
Without a doubt, best comic on this planet, and you better believe it.
Steve Hughes is the new George Carlin.
Yep.
darthdude Fuck me drunk, I thought you were about to say Steve had passed away.
If there was gonna be one to hold a candle to George Carlin it would be Steve hughes
@@samuelfish7804 well Bill Hicks is top three no matter what
I just showed my Daughter how to change a lightbulb and immediately thought of this.
Might have to write her a certificate for future use.
Relate to this so much... World's gone mad...
Never knew this man existed and found him by chance, so glad I did. One of the best I have seen, outstanding.
Dropping raw truth in a way that has us laughing because if not, we’d cry. Man is brilliant!
Working on a UK building site is a nightmare. A few sites I've been on require a permit to use a ladder. Like wtf!!
just don't do anything, waste as much time as possible, thats what we do on sites in uk.
I was working at a truckstop at my first job in the UK, I was 20 and I had just arrived, from Poland. We had a health and safety inspection at work. There was this step ladder, maybe like 50cm high and had 3 steps on it. The lady doing the inspection calls me over and asks if I'm ever using this as it has no label on it saying how many steps it has. At first I assumed she was joking, but from her face I could tell she's actually serious about that so I replied with what turned out to be the worst possible answer "only sometimes to change a bulb". Had I said "yeah, to beat the elderly to death" I'm pretty sure we would be in less trouble.
@Amanley Load ... are in every* crevice* ... dreadful* ... they're* calling out ... They're* all thinking ... Don't know what's worse. H&S regulations insulting my intelligence or people complaining about them and using totally different words than the ones that apply just because they sound the same.
Lovin it! Gotta agree with the comment about you being the new George Carlin.
You're a legend Steve!
All the greatest to ya mate!
I'm watching this whilst wearing Hi Viz.
I worked in a place, no joke, a qualified electrician could only change the lightbulb, holy batshit, greetings from Ireland, Steve always makes me laugh, also he shares the same ideas on how silly society has become
Going to see him tomorrow night
Hughes logic. Is a great thing to behold.
Really glad you're uploading more. Been a fan for a decade and its good to see bits I hadn't yet.
Im in building. This is brilliant.
hey steve so awesome to see you have a chanel! Saw you back in in about 2014 in Perth! Love ya work
George Carlin came back as an angry Australian expat.
Nice move.
Absolutely fabulous, many a true word spoken in jest and boy is he correct!!
Man, this guy makes so much sense.
Let me tell you my story: it was my birthday. So I brought cake to the office. Guess what? There were no knives in the drawer!
I asked a lady who was doing some stuff around the common area where were the knives. Let's call her YMCA.
YMCA: Knives aren't allowed, what if someone uses them to hurt another person? Health and safety regulations stipulate... bla bla bla...
Me: You mean, like, I could use this fork to stick it in someone's eyes type of hurt?
Her face dropped!
YMCA: That's not a nice thing to say!
Me: I apologize. I was just making a point. If I wanted to hurt someone I could just punch them! How about that?
She was livid.
I didn't consider what would happen next so I went out to the store and purchased a knife. Went back to the office.
She was waiting for me with some lady from HR, I kid you not.
HR Lady: did you threaten YMCA with a fork?
Me: NO. I pointed out to her that if I wanted to hurt someone there are several ways of doing it, I don't need a knife.
HR Lady: then why are you holding a knife in your hand?
Me: to cut the cakes I bought. It's my birthday. But you two aren't getting any! JK, I'm not an asshole. I'll cut you some big slices!
HR Lady: Do you know how to use a knife?
My jaw fell on the floor...
Me: (trying not to be overly sarcastic) I've been cutting bread since I was 6. I got this!
HR Lady: What will you do with the knife after you're done?
Me: (thinking how I could just prick my finger just a little to prank them - but again, decided it wasn't worth it) I will bring it to you for safe keeping until I leave for the day and then I'll take it home with me.
HR Lady: You mean you'll have a knife with you on the bus??? O_O
I gave up...
As someone who has worked in factories and warehousing for 20 yrs this is absolutely true 🤦♂️ I had to do a course on how to change a battery on a high reach forklift 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂 it's stupid easy yet needed a course to do it 🤔 I'm not even allowed to load trucks at this job because I haven't done the course yet, even though I've loaded trucks 1000 times at this point 🤦♂️ each new job u have to do their course to do a job you've done a bazillion times 🤦♂️😂
The problem is not that you change the battery, but that somewhere some guy thought: Hey, if I can just do that, I can fix something else on it too. Statistically, that leads to more death and suffering. The ones that issue those health and safety don't know you specifically, they have to keep the dumbest fucker you have ever seen in your 20 years of work alive. Before the germans came up with the basis of that regulations, missing limbs were a more common sight. Guess why the dork can't change the lightbulb anymore? The same guy tried to mess with the stage lighting, cause he can change bulbs...look up how many stars died being hit by falling lights? They build them differently and there are regulatons. Result: less death, less cripples and minor inconvenience for those who already know. Also, keep in mind that no matter how smart someone is, they are dumb as rocks every day for about 5-15 minutes. Those moments when we have to snap out of it, running on auto pilot. I've sadly seen brilliant people climbing inclosures of incased robots to get something they left, a pro electrician forgetting one of his basic checks not wearing certain safety gear hanging just next to the warning sticker ridden box he worked at. There was a basic visor and some special gloves and some matts to cover part of the working area...touches part of the still live parts, savety screwdriver handle melts, most his arm is gone, an arc hits over his face (something the visor would prevent). The more proficient someone is like say around a bandsaw or table saw, the more relaxed people get. I can just do this, I did this often...till this day, those two machines are causing almost 90% of severe hand injuries. Routine and respect during every use help. What helps in lots of sectors to have employees with a half way decent back, lungs that work, all their limbs to enjoy their retirement is worth the little hassle that spreads into other areas.
If you'd hire a guy to load your trucks, and he says he's done it all before...would you trust him knowing when to toss old straps (bosses are often to cheap but you insist due to regulations), knowing about the different weight distribution inside the truck, stops, nets? Try to see this stupid test from a different perspective.
One of the things I never had on my radar was the high number of truck drivers fixing their canvas covers or straps by climbing up on the side. It's not that high, but that's the problem. If we fall from 2-4 meters of height we do that half rotation, landing our heads. Falling from 5-6 meters may break your legs but surgery and prosthetics came a long way, heads are still mostly a mystery. That regulation that you hate...can you think of someone at work that you're soooo glad he won't try it when you start up your fork lift? They protect you from those people too.
@@onpsxmember Survival of the fittest.
Making us 'safer' so we can be better at working ourselves to death for someone elses benefit is just efficiency savings for the boss man.
Being dumb as rocks for 15 mins a day should show you we aren't supposed to do mind numbing repetitive shit for 40+ hours a week.
"are you a globeologist?" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
That is actually genius
Awesome as always! Namaste. // Shared.
So relevant in these rona times 🤪
As someone who has worked in health and safety for 13 years, he might be on to something.
Are you trying to justify your existence
@@utubetrutharrowmichael-and9105 As a safety professional or as a human being?
The 1934 Ballantynes Law Dictionary does define a human being as 👉less than a monster 🙃 so I don't want to come off as I #unt as the other one is particularly obvious & on topic example you've gifted us to the latter ! ....
Steve is a prophet. Change electrical to COVID and it all makes sense lol
These days you need a hot work permit to light a cigarette (if it's still allowed on site) and a confined space entry permit and gas detection procedures to go and have a crap.
You have hit the nail on the head with what you have said, you need to add the term Actuary into the Risk Assessment reality. Due to Actuary they introduced the 'A.I.' Risk Assessment ideology; everything now has to be calculated into the equation..
I really hope that you are doing shows and the 'Melbourne International Comedy Festival' this year. We'll all buy tickets!
Fucking brilliant, and you are DEAD RIGHT about the insurance companies taking advantage. I'll leave it up to the individual to have a think about if they're merely taking advantage, or are an invested party in the push behind it all...
Also, can't stop laughing at the 'reeling from the light' mime hahaha.
How come a Comedian nails it on the fairness & reason of society?
Onya Hughesy, ya make my day much better, one of the funniest fuckers to come from Oz
Bunnings employees have to do a course to be allowed to use a Stanley Knife. 🤣🤣🤣
Glad to see you are still performing. I know this is an older one haha
Love getting truth with the funny... I think you’re just putting the funny with the truth though. Udaman Steve!!
Your a bloody weapon mate !
Wouldn't be surprised if the light bulb course is real
Keep it coming Steve, love your brain.
Love you bro!
Fuk I love your shows.... Shoukd do 1 hour special on the Gold Coast, Australia
This is exactly why I do everything under the radar, there is much regulation everywhere to consider it is to overwhelming to actually get anything done...Gives new meaning to the phrase 'the quiet achiever' because if those pencil pushers find out what your doing someone will find a law somewhere you are breaking.
Good stuff!
The last time I was in WA I felt like I might be fined for breathing without permission.
Yeah Australia loves a rule……peace.
i change my own light bulbs, i didnt even take the course.. you know why.. cuz im fukn anarchy thats why...
On the Irish light bulb changing course you have to get in teams of three, one of us had to hold the bulb in place & then the other two turn the chair around..
@@stan1050 HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
You need more material I want more
Australian Russell brand.but alot better.
You sir are the DIO of funny, a god of sorts :)
Brilliant 😇🙏🏽💙
Certificate 4 in Lightglobology and onoff switchery.
I mean... The white card, you could do an hour on that
I hope it's you, Steve. If not, meh.
Brilliant !!
Bloody hilarious bastard , very smart and unwoke.
I have a hard hat on and my cologne is a very common scent. Yes.
👏Bravo✊
Know matter how many times l which this l crack up everytime
Damn, those typos are way off the mark, and don't blame it on auto-correct.
Light bulb moment lmfao, use to be do the job or dont let the door hit on the arss on the way out
Voice of reason
Spot on mate💪😂
Good shit ad usual steve start doing some q and a m8 or a stream would be brilliant
Love ya man.
Legend!!
Steve Hughes bruh.
George Carlin levels.
As did Carlin learn and grow on stage, I reckon it'd be great if you got out there more to refine your gig.
You have the mentality and all the good shit to say. I think delivery is where its at too.
Most builders I know don’t have pack lunches it a trip to the cafe late morning for them for bacon butties and fry ups
When are you coming to Perth mate?
Steve come down the south coast of NSW mate!
We’re looking at an Australian tour a bit later this year. Cheers mate
@@SteveHughesOfficial Legend!
Steve, long time fan of yours. Also a Hughes and a truther, I'm curious to know if you have researched Flat Earth. Hope you're safe during the fires. Much love brother! #HUGHESRULES
Legend.
Love to here his views on this corona shit.
Yep. Stood on site scratching my arse for 90 minutes today whilst the guy who had been assigned to watching me underwent training so that he was competent to watch me. The dick wouldn't even pass me my tools because his training didn't cover it! This guy didn't even have an emergency first aid certificate. When I worked in the railway industry the second man had to be fully competent and a first aider. Still, somewhere a box was ticked...
Is this safe to watch? I don't want to be offended or hurt so I have to make sure before I watch it.
There's not a, uh...lightbulb changing course...is there? I mean, hahaha....he was joking surely?
I’m not sure I agree with Steve on everything but his philosophy and perspective is painfully missing from the conversations the parliament has. We are dangerously over regulated and once you hand your children to the school system then you actually see what impact this stuff has on an impressionable mind.
thats the thing everythigs going so coorporatised, those which should be easy enough are made harder and harder to the point where they take too long in the end and so they too are regimated away from us...
I'm not qualified to write comments that are inoffensive enough to be tolerated by decent society, so my keyboard activities are being monitored, lest I say something
that's not absolutely verified to be 100% politically correct and proper. But I'm allowed to say "Hi" to you, Steve, from my supervisor.
Unsureance
I thought this was a documentary on how to chance a light bulb. I can do that! all this other stuff is irreverent ways to pick up earth girls
💖💖💖💖💖
Why is this funny?
This isn't comedy. Its Insite into how stupid people have become.
