YESSS!!! Every time I see Ayoade on the thumbnail it's Christmas. He's got the exact right tone for this show. Besides being a great favourite allround of course

That end shot in memorium of Richard Sharp in the style of an obit is the one thing I really credit the UK for - its' sharp humour. I left 35 years ago and travelled extensively around the globe, but I NEVER came across such a deep-seated sense of critical political humour as in the UK. Its absolutely wonderful! I'm now based in France which also has an old tradition of political lampooning, but it just lacks that extra 'sneer" and snobbery that is so linked into the class system and mentality. I say - bring back Angus!!
I'm an Irish redhead and found him offensive. It's those "slanty eye people" with their prepared jokes. Then doing a Diane Abbott, should've tried them out first. It's those eyes, they don't see it coming.😂😂😂 I wonder if he'd find the above offensive? Do two bad jokes make a good laugh? I don't think so. 🌈🌈🌈🌈 Much love from Ireland ☘️💚
Ahhhhh. Cold rainy night here. Walked home, got soaking wet. Had a hot bath and some dinner and now HOORAY there's HIGNFY with Richard Ayoade and suddenly it's a perfect cozy evening. THANK YOU as always from the US.
Watching from Oregon. I love this show. Paul is so witty and I genuinely laugh out loud so many times during these episodes (I've gone back to see many, many older shows, too). Please keep up the banter about the U.S.; we deserve all the razzing.
Many thanks from New Zealand, Richard coped really well with news so tame, it could be from one of our provincial towns!!! Looking forward to the Bit More edition 😊

As the duly appointed spokesman of the official Space Laser Synagogue, we are prepared to allow Wang to pass on this occasion without a formal rebuke, pending the findings of the Council of Gingers.
I agree, The view you have depends on relative position - Calling the rusty pole as leaning to the right is yet another crass example of HIGNFY being biased and unfair. This is a repeated and unrepentant violation of the BBC's code of conduct as laid out in the government charter. The Secretary of State should reconsider the charter and instigate a punitive measure against this state corporation. At the very least a spokesperson for the department of media, culture and sport should denounce this crass and repugnant political supercilious propaganda of the overtly woke liberalism that is destroying the inerrant properties of all rusty poles to stand, lean, be propped, supported, welded or braced in any position they so wish. - i am also available for weddings, barmitvah's, funerals and appearances on political satire shows.
We must have something similar in Spain, potentially: when you go abroad with a Spanish mobile, when you cross into France for example, you get an automatic SMS telling you how to contact the embassy or consulate etc.
@@SkepticalTeacher yes here it does a lot of features like missing kids extreme weather outbreaks I still a bit gob smacked they do not have it in the UK
@@annettealexander3673 On the whole, there isn't much happening. No extreme weather like you have, no shootings, etc. In some countries (Denmark and Croatia for example) there is annual alarm test in the spring. It's a siren that would go off in entire country in the case of nuclear war or similar.
@@annettealexander3673, the reason that we don't have them here in the U.K. is because we don't deserve them, innit? We're also far less likely to get nuked by our immediate neighbours although we do have to invest in sets of earplugs to keep out the racket of the French with their noisy pots and pans. 👍😎👍
It's uncanny really, the British starved 12 million Irish people, while also exporting wheat, corn, beef, chicken and pork at the time. So Diane Abbott was a wee bit closer to the bone than one would imagine.
Racism is different from prejudice, it is not about the outcome. Diana did not say that racism is worse than prejudice. The question is whether Jewishness is a race. Are Ethiopian Jews and Polish Jews the same race. The genocide in Rwanda wasn't about race, the genocide in Namibia was.
I audibly gasped when Phil said the pole had gone missing. I haven’t ever been to England but I know if a rusty pole in Devon goes missing it’s a HUGE deal. 😮😂🧐
Can't they just Paul run free? To dig out his pond of water plants and look after his one chicken, like hes dreamed about for years. This seems a bit cruel now. Great show. Ta all
Every week bang on time. Legend and thank you.
Legend. And thank you. Or Legend, and thank you. Or possibly Legend! Thank you? Have fun
Seconded or thirded. Many thanks from a Parisian exile who needs his English humour.

I see Richard Ayoade, I click
People need to stop resigning on a Friday, not fair on HIGNFY team.
"In memory of Richard Sharp" lol
Thanks for uploading this! I never miss a random epiode of british tv if Richard Ayoade is in it, he's so funny and cool
YESSS!!! Every time I see Ayoade on the thumbnail it's Christmas. He's got the exact right tone for this show. Besides being a great favourite allround of course
I love when Richard hosts. 🙌 Pls come again soon
Greetings from China. This is my new Saturday morning routine. Thank you
Greetings from California U.S.A. ❤
Tucking in with HIGNFY and a nice prosecco rose...and Richard Ayoade hosting as well....does life get any better? Me thinks not! 😉
I'll get the Cab Sauv.

Thx!
The 'aww' from the audience after the rock reveal was hilarious.
Richard Aoyade and Phil Wang, plus a rant from Paul Merton - fantastic and hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
It's the ultimate trifecta, IMO. 😉
I guess it's fair you call him 'Aoyade,' as the man can't even pronounce his own name right.
Thanks from New Zealand - our fave, Saturday arvo with a cuppa and HIGNFY!
Richard was on fire. Superb
Havnt watched this for years, saw his name and just knew it was worth watch
I luuuuuuuurve him
I only watched because he was host, and Phil Wang was on.
Love him.
the 3 minute 22 second video ''Norman Finkelstein on the anti-semite Corbyn claims'' by Renegade Inc
Paul nearly losing his mind near the end lol

Rainy southern Ontario night is made better now

@@kurdtinchains Ha. I'm in NJ but spent four great years at UVA. Love VA forever!
The rusty pole...so this is what Suella Braverman means by our British values and what the British Public want.
The in memoriam section was very moving

@@tryharder75 Oh come on, we still have Joey Essex!!!
Me too (OR). Why can’t we have wit like this here. Everything is so serious.
Purkiss and hislop and Richard? Wow. I'm in. Genuinely awesome 👌
no wang love?
@@ukspawn666
Wangity-wang!
Who else clicked as soon as they saw Richard Ayoade was gracing this episode!! Love when he's hosting!

Richard Ayoade and Phil Wang. Top episode.
Excellent, so fun to hear younger guests teaming up with the old grinders.
Funniest episode in ages! Thank you from Minnesota.
Who had "pet rocks" would finally set Paul off on thier bingo card
Damm that was a good one. First time seeing marina. Blimey!
Excellent
5:15 tbh I was watching TH-cam on my phone when the alert came (a minute early) and I shat myself 😂 - I can understand why they didn’t want surgeons affected!!
Richard Ayoade is fantastic. I heartily recommend his book/audiobook "Ayoade On Top".
is that the one where he makes fun of the Gwynteth Paltrow flight attendant movie?
Thanks from Australia!
They were on fire tonight. Would have been a privilege to be in the audience!
😂😂that's funny
I'd watch it every week with Richard as host. You can see the chemistry with Paul Ian and him is strong.
Thank you
As the duly appointed spokesman of the official Space Laser Synagogue, we are prepared to allow Wang to pass on this occasion without a formal rebuke, pending the findings of the Council of Gingers.
Paul was great in this episode. I'm even going to watch the longer version later.
How can a pole in a field lean to the right? Wouldnt it depend which side your standing on?
I agree, The view you have depends on relative position - Calling the rusty pole as leaning to the right is yet another crass example of HIGNFY being biased and unfair. This is a repeated and unrepentant violation of the BBC's code of conduct as laid out in the government charter.

The Rusty Pole sounds like a gentleman's club.
Those poor girls working there.
thank you so much
Thanks for posting.
Bloody brilliant. I still can't get over you guys don't have the emergency alert thing. We have it here in North America for years
We must have something similar in Spain, potentially: when you go abroad with a Spanish mobile, when you cross into France for example, you get an automatic SMS telling you how to contact the embassy or consulate etc.

Love Marina, love Phil, great line up, hello everyone!!
Thank you for posting this! You are the best.
Many thanks for this interlude in the madness we are currently experiencing.
Awesome episode, they all nailed it.
YAY!!! Thank you, settling in to watch from the States! 😊🎉❤
Brilliant episode!
These people restore my faith in Britain. That’s saying something. Thank you.
Hilarious! Thanks for posting!,😂😂😂
One day ima move to the UK just for the panel shows and channel4 stuff, its always so good lol 🤣
Thanks for the upload 👍
Mr. Ayoade was effervescent as usual.
Thank you!
It's uncanny really, the British starved 12 million Irish people, while also exporting wheat, corn, beef, chicken and pork at the time. So Diane Abbott was a wee bit closer to the bone than one would imagine.
they ought to get Mr. Ayoade as permanent replacement in the middle. Far and away the best stand-in since the unfortunate loss of Angus’s talents…
David Tennant's not bad either
Cheers for the upload
This is a great episode, Richard is great !
I immediately turned this off and then back on again.
Genuinely gave a standing ovation after Ian's Rust In Peace joke lol, cheers for the upload !
As an American I appreciate the jokes. Funny stuff. The pole running for president 😂
Thank you for uploading!
Thank you from Costa Rica😊

Exactly!
They’ve thrown her under the bus for fear of being called antisemitic.
Laughed heaps - cackle free - thank you
Marina was so great in this. 25:52 was genius.
I'm not familiar with her but it was one of the better jokes by a non-comedian guest that I can think of.
this was another fun one! and I really like Phil's shirt.
I audibly gasped when Phil said the pole had gone missing. I haven’t ever been to England but I know if a rusty pole in Devon goes missing it’s a HUGE deal. 😮😂🧐
We have Marine Le Pen visiting us here in Le Havre on Monday ... what could possibly go wrong 🤔😉
Thank you 🙏
thank you i enjoy this show
Ayoade Schmayoade.
I jest. Seeing his face and name on a new ep, as I scrolled the feed, drew me in. He’s why I’m here 😻
Paul's meltdown is one for the ages
Purkiss... Yes Please
that title sequence shoulda been binned years ago
17:15 I choked on my drink
Caption competition "The trouble with Arsenal is, they always want to walk it in." (in homage to Richard Ayoade)
Thank you for the upload!!!
👍
26:58 unsurprising really when you consider a lot of lambs already have terrible gambolling addictions
Every time they go to the casino they get fleeced
Phil Wang is phenomenal, wonderful
Marina is so beautiful. And smart.
RICHARD!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Can't they just Paul run free? To dig out his pond of water plants and look after his one chicken, like hes dreamed about for years. This seems a bit cruel now. Great show. Ta all
No news is good news, Richard ! 😂❤
Paul going all Elmo on that pet rock...
Thanks
Glad i found this
I am watching this on the 13th of May, 2023. How is the "in memory" dedication dated up to June 2023?
Nice one
The world needs lerts!
The entire leave campaign was surreptitiously about getting rid of the Poles; why are we surprised when one more disappeared?
brilliant - thanks for this!
I am surprised that they missed out on joking that the scottish car should have been a "Lamb-orghini"
Shame this episode was recorded on Thursday with the BBC head resigning on the very next day with relation to BoJo. Oh, nevermind.
Thanks.
