He's a genius. All over a naked spud. He destroys the whole retail marketing with mockery and ridiculte. Never has ranting been so cutting. And that glorious Welsh accent makes it so musical.
Best skit I've seen since the scene in Fawlty Towers where Basil is trying to convey the name of the horse (Dragonfly) to Polly who is in turn trying to tell Sybil.
Surprised the shop doesn't sell loose potatoes TBH, but I agree with him :D What a waste of packaging! "Of course people don't like Loose Potatoes, watching 4 potatoes sit around discussing the menopause is only marginally more interesting than the bloody human programme" XD XD
As someone who works a service job, there's something about the soul crushing nature of the work environment that makes you defend it against all logic. It's like subconsciously if you agree that the bullshit foisted on you by the higher-ups is indeed bullshit you think the entire place will collapse around you and you'll be out of a job.
Of course, this is comedy, but he's right, why in Earth does everything have to be packaged and repackaged and often repackaged again in layers of plastic, cardboard and styrofoam? For our benefit? Bollocks. You could easily do away with most of it.
It's just more stuff you can charge for. Having packaging means you can involve more companies in the production. A company makes a styrofoam plate for, let's say, a penny. Then sells it to the company that manufactures the product for 2 p. Then they sell the product to retailers, charging one pound for the product and 3 p for the packaging. Then retailers sell the whole thing for two pounds. And, depending on where you live, you might get VAT on each of those stages, bringing up the total to 3 pounds. Then you have to throw all the useless packaging away and you have to pay the government to dispose of it, and because the amount of grabage is artificially inflated the government fucks you up with waste taxes. It's for the benefit of those who work in one of these industries, as they get to have these useless jobs. Except they then have to buy all their essentials from retail, and piss away money on useless packaging. That's consumerism for you.
Andy Merrett because he was using examples from his anger management diary I imagine all the jokes would be the same because all the situations are the same... being pissed at the world for not making sense
I've enjoyed Rhod Gilbert for years on radio and TV panel shows but for some reason, I've never looked for his standup stuff until now..... Oh, blimey - I feel a YT binge coming on !
It's kind of funny, I understood the Yorkshire Chipper reference because Looney Tunes had a character named the Shropshire Slasher, who himself is a likely reference to the Yorkshire Ripper
So glad I watched the joke about the tooth brush literaly the video before this one😂😂 This is too funny. Had to pause & go back 10 secs to gain my composure & catch one or two of the lunchlines that I missed from laughing so hard🤣
Tesco Express is the brand name for the smaller Tesco stores located in urban areas, which have a more limited choice of goods available. You can buy loose, unpackaged vegetables at their larger stores. Is what he was trying to say.
This made me think of the amount of physical and verbal energy some comedians expend... then you have someone like John Bishop who hardly breaks a bead of sweat!
Nope. He wanted to get a tat for the first time but wanted something ridiculous and not the same as everyone else...So spur of the moment he asked for a spud...
As a South Welsh man that doesn’t speak Welsh, I sound Welsh but can’t even speak my own language, North Walians speak Welsh and sound fucking Scouse… I love Rhod Gilbert… we are moaning, whinging bastards in Wales. But we just shimf like fuck and moan but just get on with it… Wales should have an Olympic event called “The Moaning Bus Stop” 🚏 because we’d get gold all the time. I left my bike outside the shop, came outside… and there it was… gone!
yea, it would have been great having Crooked in there. Imagine all the black-majority countries she could have invaded and then blamed someone else about.
As funny as it is ... and it is 🙃 - there's a desperate cry for normality/logic in our life behind this act which makes perfect sense. Respect to Gilbert for the courage to shout it out loud. Peace on Earth - Let's Think More 🤟
Sometimes in the shops they do this with some fruit and I think what's the point? The other day I saw a potato on the side I left for a bit and when I came back it had peeled itself and left a suicide note
Alexander Birch . That's suspicious, man. I think that it was probably some other psycho who peeled him and forged the so-called suicide note. It's well known that potatoes are crap at writing. They can't spell either. You should tell the Police, they need all the help they can get.

"no they don't, you did that" is still possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard
I’d say it’s tied with “I like my potatoes like I like my women: single and stark bollock naked”
He's a genius. All over a naked spud. He destroys the whole retail marketing with mockery and ridiculte. Never has ranting been so cutting. And that glorious Welsh accent makes it so musical.
"A pan of mash and a suicide note" gets me everytime
Same here
"You could get arrested. For what, separating potatoes?" Tea all over my bloody top, haven't laughed like that in a long time 🤣 🤣
'and you go and put the last of your tuna mayonnaise.....all over a pissing melon' LMFAO
Yes waste all your tuna mayonnaise because there weren't enough labels on the potatoes
We need more unique comedians like this who leave the cliches aside and come up with their own totally weird stories and jokes 😂👏🏻👏🏻
He didn't come up with it, it's true xd Just like James Acaster stories haha
Yeah I agree. The likes of Jason Manford aren't funny
Not once was gender or race mentioned. Bloody great.
The self harming potato just killed me!
"Start peeling himself every time things get a little bit difficult" XD
killed the potato too...
That's why there's 2 potatoes, 1 for moral support..... lmao funniest thing I've heard in years.
"Pound of mash and a suicide note"
He does rant better than anyone else I know!!
Went to see his new show 'The Book of John' last night, OMG I thought I was gonna die of laughter, he was so hilarious!! Defiantly worth seeing
His 'buying a duvet' kills me every time.
joey diaz my man, rhods not even close. Hes still great though
David Mitchell is a good ranter too
Don't know I have my moments. Like a lot of people I know where he's coming from.
Sorry they come in packs of two. No they don't, you did that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 x
"It's one potato, two potato, three potato, four. Not two potato, four potato, six potato, pissing eight" XD
I think the reference is the joke of a pack of two potatoes, thus he changed it to 2 , 4 6, 8
virginia jarrell well done, genius.
This isn't Noah's vegetable rack
mashpoison1...it is in Wales hahahahaha
Libby Rees I can see that!! I just navigated that on my new toothbrush!!
No they don't, you did that!
Priceless
This guy is a comic genius, one of the funniest comedians out there today
‘Pan of mash and a suicide note’ is where I died. 😂😂
Is that why they sell them in twos, for morale support so one can talk his mate down from the edge of the pan😂😂 tears streaming down my face
Cant believe ive just watched 8 minutes of a bloke rant about a potato 😂 amazing skit 🙌
“Bend over and say hello to King Edward” 😂😂
"no they don't, you did that" omg I fucking died!
The energy that he expends...wow! I get wound up just listening to/ watching him.
Best skit I've seen since the scene in Fawlty Towers where Basil is trying to convey the name of the horse (Dragonfly) to Polly who is in turn trying to tell Sybil.
Sinule
Fuck! Now I need to watch them all again.
Flying tart 🤣🤣🤣
after all. Man's just did an 8 minute rants about wasted packaging... I love it.
Rod Gilbert my absolute favourite hysterically funny comedian, love him. Completely cracks me up with laughter!!
Surprised the shop doesn't sell loose potatoes TBH, but I agree with him :D What a waste of packaging!
"Of course people don't like Loose Potatoes, watching 4 potatoes sit around discussing the menopause is only marginally more interesting than the bloody human programme"
XD XD
Rhod Gilbert gets more laughs per minute on these rants than any other comedian in the UK or USA.
the Yorkshire Chipper...priceless
If I was the manager I would be wetting myself part way through this rant lol

fresh food stores exist, the entire world isn't Tesco

I suppose when your produce is shipped from 1000 miles away, they're a little worried about spoilage.
I've enjoyed Rhod Gilbert for years on radio and TV panel shows but for some reason, I've never looked for his standup stuff until now.....
Oh, blimey - I feel a YT binge coming on !
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. I p**s myself watching ANYTHING to do with this top geezer.
He's so chilled and talks in quite a quiet voice when not on stage
Mwahhah
"... All over a pissing melon" fucking kills me every time!
Harold Chipman, Yorkshire Chipper, Boston Masher.... Dead.
It's kind of funny, I understood the Yorkshire Chipper reference because Looney Tunes had a character named the Shropshire Slasher, who himself is a likely reference to the Yorkshire Ripper
My favourite line: Bend over and say hello to King Edward lmao
Thank you Rhod.....bloody legend....anger management for us all!!!
No one is as good as him, 10 mins of jokes out of that!
I feel like 'Harold Chipman' went over the heads of a lot of the audience members.
I want to go shopping with him 😂😂
5:42 was the best bit. I love that he got really into it "a pissing... melon"
Best comedian ever!!!!! The best I've seen live.
'I like my potatoes like i like my women, single and stark bollock naked.' I laughed to hard i woke the neighbors.
NO ONE does angry sarcasm better!
Ah love Rhod, even though I laugh myself to an asthma attack every time I watch him🤣
So glad I watched the joke about the tooth brush literaly the video before this one😂😂
This is too funny. Had to pause & go back 10 secs to gain my composure & catch one or two of the lunchlines that I missed from laughing so hard🤣
Me too
Lunchlines. Freud would be proud.
"That would be awesome if we needed the tray!"
That bit always has me in stitches.
So weird to think this Tesco is my local if it's the one I'm thinking of 😂 I've stood exactly where Rhod Gilbert had a fit over a potato
“That doesn’t frighten me!! I’ll be out in six months with a good lawyer!!” Laughed til I cried.
True comedy at its best. Love Rhod!
Just woke up my partner crying with laughter at this 😂😂😂😂😂
Great remake of faulty towers. Love to hear him ranting about the view from a window in a Tenby hotel.
I was in a real bad mood.. but now I'm smiling .. good job sir 👍
"Bend over and say hello to King Edward" 🤣
5:40 is absolute gold. Had me in tears.
Narwhalisation I was watching this in bed trying literally rolling around laughing at this part
This who show was hilarious!! I died I laughed so hard during the whole show
You should see the red hen one that one killed me
@@treemium1467 wouldn't have happened if you'd been on a tray and covered in cellophane
The greatest rant you will ever witness in your lifetime
that loose women reference made me choke
Bend over and say hello to King Edward!!
Rachie doodle 😂😂😂😂😂
We do in the uk guys but tesco express are just small convenience shops,
Tom Parham what
Tesco Express is the brand name for the smaller Tesco stores located in urban areas, which have a more limited choice of goods available. You can buy loose, unpackaged vegetables at their larger stores.
Is what he was trying to say.
Aah his "Anger Management" tour 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This show also contains his rant about trying to buy a cheese and pickle sandwich in the buffet car.
This is my favorite routine from Rhod ever! seen nearly every different performance of it recorded!
Could you point me to a radio 4 version which is cleaner so I can play at school
this guy is hillarious
"Bend over and say hello to King Edward" is my new favourote chat-up line. 😂
I laughed so hard I cried. Thank you.
The loose potato joke is great
This made me think of the amount of physical and verbal energy some comedians expend... then you have someone like John Bishop who hardly breaks a bead of sweat!
Glorious
He really is brilliant and the best around.
At the end he said he had to buy two anyway. I guess he ate one, and used the second to film this.
If your wondering. He did enjoy his holiday with the one jacket potato.
This is why Rhod and David Mitchell make mayhem on Would I Lie To You... either one or the other can destroy any subject😂😂
Rwy'n dy garu di Rhod Gilbert! We don't have this problem in America, but we do have a hot dog and bun problem.
Cary O Phil Len the government has that problem for sure. Not every American supports that decision though. 😊
Cary O Phil Len I agree, I hope one day it will no longer be an issue as well, peace to you too. :)
I think we have that issue also. 6 buns and 8 hot dogs. Just so you have to buy a second pack of buns.
I'll never look at a baked potato in the same way ever again
Him and George Carlin should get an oscar for remembering all that stuff really.
I'm from the east coast states and this is great comedy. Absolutely hilarious!.
Can I just say I would love a self-peeling potato
Outstanding...
Legend.
He reminds me of myself so much
OMG sooo funny and true I couldn't stop laughing absolutely classic
Fucking genius 😂😂😂
Absolutely true!
Brilliant!
Is uncle Rhod coming for Christmas dinner this year? I'll take the jacket potatoes off the menu.
Oh gosh, but I enjoyed that rant.🤣
The John Cleese of 2019
non stop laughing from start to finish
Aww i just love rhod.❤
The Yorkshire chipper OMG!
Is this why he has a tattoo of a potato on his left shoulder?
Poor manager!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like my potato like I like my women, single and stark bollock naked. Just brilliant.
wonder if this is the reason for his potattoo?
Yes. Or at least that's part of the reason. ruclips.net/video/zzlPbWmy8MI/видео.html
Nope. He wanted to get a tat for the first time but wanted something ridiculous and not the same as everyone else...So spur of the moment he asked for a spud...

They sell single potatoes in the states.
Really? Then explain President Trump?
More so than his detractors even understand.
yea, it would have been great having Crooked in there. Imagine all the black-majority countries she could have invaded and then blamed someone else about.
We do too in the UK.. But just some shops sell packs
Genius
You can buy me, I'm a single potato.
#lonelyforever
You still single
But are you peeled...?
