In the Netherlands we have a prime minister who has "no active recollection" of anything that happened during his 12 years in power. So mr. Sunak is a rank amateur.
This was one of the straight up funniest episodes i have seen to date. And as a member of the good ole usa i actually was able to understand the references for the most part. Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant show with us. Peace Out.
Whamageddon! I have the dubious yet strangely satisfying honour of being the first person in the world to be whammed and sent to Whamhalla this year. Thanks to time zones, and living in New Zealand, and on the morning of December 1, my wife had woken up early and was scrolling through her Instagram feeds when one of the reels had the song playing. I hadn't even got out of bed!
Loved Ian's reaction to the "sauces" joke (which was, indeed, really good), but the highlight might've been Paul's disarmingly sincere appreciation of Ian in the post-credits. I love these guys, and love this show.
Man, and Ian keeps being on fire! And all the guests were hilarious as well! The whole advent calendar ooohs and aaaah were so funny i had to pause the video! i'll say it again, this is the funniest season of hignfy ever!
Brilliant show yet again. This actually explained a few of the weird jokes from the shortened edition. Like Paul's comment about Ian Wright's coat and Ian Hislop suddenly exclaiming "ants!" for the missing word round. Makes me realise how badly cut that normal edition was!
I've stopped watching the short version. I'd rather not encourage youtubers to put out cut versions if their only purpose is to trick us into watching more of their videos. I can wait for the correct version.
@@donkeysunited the short version is the standard BBC broadcast show. The extended version is shown by the BBC a few days later. Neither have been cut by the youtubers, it's just posted as shown.
Having an AA meeting in Weatherspoons is NOT like having a climate conference in Dubai; those attending the AA meeting could walk away with their integrity intact if they chose to do so.
I think Paul might have been referring to the old film showing German soldiers marching back and forth to “Doing the Lambeth Walk”. It’s on TH-cam somewhere.
It was no error; he was referring to the Hitler jig. It makes more sense as a reference, given they were talking about deep fakes of celebrities, not random unnamed soldiers.
I still understand how we have this as one of our longest running most popular tv shows and also have Brexit and the Tories???????? Even Poirot would srtuggle to solve this one.
" I don't have a strong recollection" ... when did thr Dutch prime minister find the time to instruct Sunak in the intricacies of his ' Teflon-Rutte method'? Basically Smile widely 24/7 and don't have ' active recollection' of anything...
I wish the pacifist in Sweden could get at least 20% that could argue and protest against the shitty government. Imagine that you worked all your life and looking forward to pension. You get £850 a month with £600 in rent🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Now that Europe has lost fascination with hogwild American News; it's interesting to see this show and others settle back into their own facts and favorites; and to watch my own attention wander as so little of it has significance to me. I hadn't realized the extent to which Europe's naughty child has hogged the media limelight across the planet.
Old (ish) yank here. What is in a meat pie? I mean along with the meat. Is it like a Shepherds pie? Also, is a meat pasty like a smaller fried meat pie? That does it for this month’s deep inquiries into contemporary British comestibles.
A pie usually contains vegetables that pair well with the meat. Like steak and mushrooms. The crust is more like a thick baked crust. Like the kind you’d have on a chicken pot pie.
In Australia we do the offshoring (as we call it) of refugees. And, like the Rawanda plan, the right wing party (Liberals) mates get over a million per year per person. It's a bit rich (Excuse the pun) that we are told we can't afford the people but we have a million or more per person...... as long as the money goes into their mates back pocket.
If America can have a "World Series" Baseball competition in which they are the only participants, maybe Wigan can justify their "World Series" Pie Eating one, too.
Damn! Sunak learned from the outgoing Dutch PM Rutte: I have no strong recollection / Ik heb daar geen actieve herinnering aan. Good job, Sunak! Now all you need is your cabinet to fall and your apprenticeship will be complete!
If you ask ai to create a picture of a person they’re always classically attractive and thin with very smooth skin. I’ll be more impressed when it can create an average looking person 🤷♀️
Paul, singing a cover of "Last Christmas" doesn't count in Whamageddon!, only the original George Michael version. Which is a good thing, considering there are, like, a billion cover versions. 🙄
A Bit more Brain Candy? how can I refuse? no really, what's the word? oh forget it. Thanks for all the Delights all throughout the years. that coat is 2Kpounds? my cremation costs that, I got the better value. LOL
Kin Jong Un - massive statues, and photos in all buildings. And never lost an election. Donald Trump - massive ego, and photos only in some rooms at Mar-a-Lago. Also never lost an election in his opinion.
@@jeremywilliams5107 hehe. You got it. Massive parades vs press conferences in front of landscaping businesses and porn shops. Gourmet food shipped from all corners of the earth vs kfc lol. This is the guy that will take America to the next level? When you think about it is is so laughable right? How do people not see how simple and base Frump really is? And how abstract this whole thing is.
Sadly, young people hoping for a strong leader who did not hold elections (in other words, fascist), is a good idea here in Canada also. I guess they missed that part in their history lessons.
The difficult part is waiting 48 hours for the extended edition
I do the double. It's worth it for a good episode like this
@@jazzeejax5816 I sometimes do this but find myself distracted by trying to remember if the part that is currently on was also in the shorter version

Ain't that the truth.
If I hear that the world is ending, I want to hear it from Kirsty Young.

When I need a break from the ridiculousness of our government I turn to British political satire shows like this.
Kirsty Young is just such top class host.
Kirsty Young has such a great voice, and the looks of Faye Dunaway ❤
Thank you
16:50: “I know I’ve got this face …”. Love Phil Wang - that joke didn’t get the reaction it deserved.
Thanks again.

TH-cam subtitles: "some laughter".
Love my TH-cam subtitles, they're half of the comedy
You can't go wrong with Kirsty. She is the best.
One of the best episodes so far 😂😂
This has been a really strong series overall. Anyone know when we can expect 67? I can't wait!
April 2024 if the Wikipedia page is trustworthy.
Thanks for the tip!@@AndrewTBP
They have been completely rejuvenated three years ago and have been on fire ever since! I'm amazed how they managed to not let the show peter out.
I have taught most of my grandchildren "I know a song that gets up everybody's nose" sung sharp and off key, they loved it.
thank you!
Thank you so much!
“Indulgences”! That’s a good one! 👍👍
Been said many times already - Kirsty is lovely..
Kirsty Young is on record as saying she's not naturally funny. But she showed two great examples of comedic timing in this episode.
Many thanks.
Thanks so much for posting.
best episode for a long time. Armando should be on every week, Phil always good and Kirsty.. oh, Kirsty! 🙂
Cheers for the upload @vivahd2120
Happy Christmas and merry New Year
Not only has Kristy aged like fine Wine but she shows her wonderful since of humour more and more over the years.

Now and then I really do think there's hope yet for the UK, and this is why.

I just pop in to say that how splendid and wonderful stylish Paul Merton looked in his shirt and jacket. I mean it 🙂.
Surprised the final score was that close.

So when will HIGABMNFY do an episode of "The Tory Psycho Drama"
Is everyone just ignoring the fact that it looked like Boris' hat said "GTFO", as a great indictment of his own brain?
