This show had me laughing so hard that I had to keep rewinding it cos I kept missing bits. Boris Johnson was pretty funny. Awesome show to binge watch to help take your mind off of Covid. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I live in Japan and we have our silly political shows, but few if any achieve what this fine show does. I love Boris he is like his own comedy show. How can anyone not like Boris Johnson he has great sense of humor.

American, and had only ever heard Boris Johnson's name before I started watching HIGNFY. I think he's perfectly aware of *why* he's an easy target, I think he plays into it, and just doesn't care - he has that best characteristic in someone trying to be funny, a willingness to be made to look undignified. I think if he were American he could become president - and the hair wouldn't hurt his chances!
@@rebeccabennett4344 a couple of years ago on Mock the Week they were talking about Boris being born in America, has dual citizenship, the shock that went through the audience and the panel could be felt through the screen. shudder at the possibility. Boris becomes President.

@@thisravenhasflown010 I think he's genuinely witty. The written jokes weren't the funny parts. He's a sociopath who built a career of lies and fantasy, but I agree that if he'd stuck to comedy he'd have been really good, and a bit less atrocious. GW Bush though? He could make himself laugh, but no one else. He was just a joke.
Brilliant! My opinion of Boris has changed completely (and I mean this in a positive sense). They gave him a hard time and he survived superbly. Highly entertaining. Later addition. He is an entertaining and likeable personality, but a political clown.
today on ReWatch : HIGGY Flavoured Chaos. a great go-to when you just need to laugh for laughing's sake. Connections to Catering Gets You Coconuts!! yeah, that flavour!
Oh and May, the repeated losing of the Pedophile dossiers of Tory conservatives and right wing ruling elites was a masterclass in ensuring Tory dominance and unaccountability of the State!
41:08 Young Mr Grace (of "Are You Being Served?")! I'm not old (or young) enough to be incontinent, but at this point I came dangerously close to wetting my pants...
@@thisravenhasflown010 a failure as a politician. But very entertaining as a host on this show. And his many, many many appearances via vide clips. Note I did clearly say comedy show.
Boris Johnson shows how Tories govern... they don't listen to what others say, are repeatedly wrong, and don't learn from their mistakes. Fortunately, screwing up while leading a game show doesn't have any significant consequences.
Lmao the clown who became PM... best episode ever with Stephen K and Clive... "Less coconuts"... "you lot, you Tories" 😂😂 "saw Miss Germany, myself" 😂😂😂
It’s January 20th 2022, I woke up this morning thinking Boris was an absolute scumbag and then I watched this episode and I think”oh good old Boris, great fun here”. Why didn’t he just stay in comedy?
That's how he got elected. Peopl were charmed by him. Many people decide who to vote for attracted by apparent personality than actual policies and actions which are harder to understand. Making decisions on emotional rather than intellectual grounds. And not realizing how often he lied and lied and misled.
Poor Paul Merton. He could not hide his dislike of Boris and repeatedly tried to humiliate him. He failed miserably on that score. Boris has the ability to make fun of himself, he doesn't need Merton's desperate attempts.
Every time they cut to Stephen K Amos he looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He was obviously uncomfortable and out of his depth. The look on his face said 'my career is over'. I felt sorry for him because he is actually a funny guy.
Weren’t we aware of how shit Boris was from just watching him judge a quiz that was a step too far and now he’s in charge of a country incredible mrs edwards here
the First...Boris hosting. and then whinging on about how he wasn't going to be treated like they did on this show...''the last time''...so they kept having him back. buffoonery at it's finest. satire so sharp the target doesn't even feel it or know it.
I disagree and think you are greatly underestimating good ol' BoJo. He knew exactly what he was doing and exactly how it looked to most people. The "buffoonery" made him look non-threatening and gave him reduced accountability for all the lies and bullshit. When you consider the outright lies he told about Brexit--regardless of whether you were pro or con on the issue itself--it's unbelievable that he still has any sort of political career. By convincing people he's an incompetent cluebag, he's also convinced them not to hold him responsible for "little mistakes" that would have ended other gov't careers. It's 100 % calculated. Rees-Mogg is doing the same thing.
I was hoping he was just a genuine idiot who had been lucky at every turn and ended up in his seat, but I'm afraid the darkness is stronger and yes, his every move, his every word and deed are a calculated effort to form the public opinion, thus keeping him in the spotlight, whether he holds an office or not. quite scary actually.
This absolute joke of a man is now our PM, who would have believed that in any universe at that time? I do blame HIGFY to a certain extent for making him likeable, I'd say 10%!
Definitely one of the best episodes of HIGNFY.
...and one of the worst hosts 😂
I have never laughed as much at HIGNFY as here. You can hear the audience screaming, too. Fantastic.
This show had me laughing so hard that I had to keep rewinding it cos I kept missing bits. Boris Johnson was pretty funny.
Awesome show to binge watch to help take your mind off of Covid. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolute chaos! And I loved it! Thanks again, BH.
11:08 - “I’m in charge here.”
Well you sure are now Boris.
First exposure of fake news
More Like Murdoch, The American Oligarchs, Landed Gentry of the UK and Carrie Symonds b4 Ultra Liar than sexual Deviant BOJO.

This is one of my favourite HIGNFYs as the bit with the leopard print shoes is fantastic-Thanks for posting
Very nice to see Stephen K. Amos on the panel! This was a very funny episode, with Boris waffling like crazy. Thanks!
he barely got a word in
33:55 “There has been talk of you, Boris, of becoming the next Conservative leader.”
"i think the chances of that happening are about as likely as being... locked in a fridge"

Funny thing. Boris was born in New York and I believe he has dual citizenship. So he may not live here, but he’s American.

Do you know he was born in America and could be our President?😂😂
BoJo should stick to comedy. In this context, he’s actually really funny.
like George Bush
Hes entire career has been making himself the butt of the joke dosent make any sense of him being the pm
Pretty easy to be funny when people are writing for you

Confusion must follow Boris around, like his shadow.
I came here to watch this because Boris just became prime minister
And will now go down in History as the Worst and Most corrupt!
That took some doing after Cameron and Thatcher! Bravo!
Oh and May, the repeated losing of the Pedophile dossiers of Tory conservatives and right wing ruling elites was a masterclass in ensuring Tory dominance and unaccountability of the State!
Paul's right. This is truly surrealist art.
Excellent episode. Watch to the very end.
Boris is adorable (as a HIGNFY host).
Moving irresistibly toward a conclusion...
BRILLIANT

Incoherent but hilarious

About time, I'm sure he will do well.
He's not doing much better as PM...

Prime Minister Boris Johnson
If only he'd stuck with being aTV game show host
Some of the things have come true! This episode is when Labour was still in power?
2003. How things haven't changed...
Boris Johnson shows how Tories govern... they don't listen to what others say, are repeatedly wrong, and don't learn from their mistakes. Fortunately, screwing up while leading a game show doesn't have any significant consequences.
Kinda how both the major parties govern, no?
All parties, worldwide. Comment reported (wazzok)
Huh. A 1 hour HIGNFY episode. That's odd.
Good old Boris! Wins the contest for leader of the Conservative Party and Wins the GE with a huge majority!! Good man!
Bad man. Don't you follow the news? Gets elected on his con-man personality

I found it! First time Paul's got a tie on.
if only his entertainment value that got him into he other jobs were any actual qualification for them...
Did Amos get paid for this? He hardly uttered a word.
Most if must've been hazzard pay for sitting next to bojo.
Looking back at it there are so many cold takes in this episode
It is still not to late to lock him into the fridge.
"The BBC would like to warn all small children that pushing people into old fridges is a bloody stupid thing to do."
Reality TV show? It's called Brexit.
Stephen Amos on mogadon
Ekaine May... :D
Does the UK still at Trump?

Stephen has no idea what is going on and tried to make a funny comment, he thought, which everyone ignored including the audience.
Run the country? He couldn't even manage hignfy lads.
Possibly the worst line up of guests ever.
