Yeah, she was great. It is obvious that most of her humour is pre written jokes, but they are so well written and she tells them so brilliantly that they never seems atall glib.
@@guykruger1 Does making jokes about the Tories' appalling job at running the country for a decade, and sheer hypocrisy count as "too much agenda" now?
Everyone bang on their game in this one, hard to pick a favourite. The show's strength lies in its simple, timeless format and of course, Paul and Ian still razor-sharp after all these years.
I randomly looked if HIGNFY was on again, and praise the Lord- it's back! And just in time for my friday evening auntie mini spa 🙀😻 And I've got three episodes to revel on at that ☺️ Thank's from Sweden!
Loving this in Adelaide - "a bit more" especially. We missed the intro Ian referenced in the earlier charitable contributions. I'm now praying Mock of the Week gets a go so we get a fair crack at Pommy news...
Not intelligent enough to understand that most people who actually make things have to drive to work and that the materials has to be transported to their place of work... She wouldn't understand that because she's a bit disconnected from the 60% of the adult populace who makes her existence possible.
Those drivers following the 'petrol tanker' must be thick coz: a, it didnt have the fuel hazmat markings on it; b, it dosnt look like a fuel carrying lorry and c, it doesnt have Shell/Texaco/BP written on it. Basically, we'll randomly follow any lorry we first see and assume its a tanker.
We need truck drivers in the USA. Lots of work does not pay well enough to attract workers... Raising wages seems outside the realm of the imaginations of those trying to solve the problem.
@@0cypher0 Dog and pony show was a colloquial term used in the United States [Mid-States, Horse and Pony Show] in the in the late-19th and early-20th centuries to refer to small traveling circuses that toured through small towns and rural areas. Bit like the anti vaccine morons.
14:30 I hate to look like I'm siding with Boris Johnson over Ross Noble, but there's a major shortage of truck drivers in Australia too. It's a serious problem.
So, the cheese woman has the same outfit, while making similar weird statements talking about opening new pork markets. Also when will she say "We import X% of our pork. That is a disgrace!"
When you watch back to this show, you'd never guess UK is going down the shitter, it's all laughs and smiles. No need to do anything to save yourself, just laugh. I particularly love the "we warned everyone 10 years ago" bit. Did you warn everyone that if you dont pay for something - you dont receive it ? What an amazing concept ! Paying for stuff !
I don't know if it's the same episode, but Bill Bailey was host, and he played the closing theme on his cheesy little synth. It's such a busy and chaotic theme. I didn't know how he could do it, but he pulled it off, and it was brilliant. (I'm afraid I don't get the Mr. Dogshit reference.)
@@beenaplumber8379 Mr. Dogshit had a remix of the theme on their Soundcloud account. They had incorporated a clip of Bill Bailey yelling "thieving, thieving bastards", which was used for a majority of the remix. The clip came from an online exclusive video where Bill was hosting and imagining if Charles Kennedy was a rapper.
Watching this in 2021 after 2 years of covid crap and the presenter says" a phd in virology,like that's ever going to come in handy".Talk about eat you words!!🤣🤣
@@bobbythorman7421 No worries; same problem here in France but since they were also talking about the fuel shortages I knew it had to be recent. Last time I was in England I had to cancel all my planned visits to friends to conserve enough fuel to get back to France again (where miraculously in spite of assurances to the contrary by johnson, there have been no shortages at all, of anything)
"I don't have a favourite Bond, but I do think it's time for a female Bond." Translation: "I have never seen a James Bond film, because if I had, I would know that a sex-change for Bond is a *deeply* stupid idea."
No need for a poll, no Tories or other right-wingers watch this show. Which could be: A) Because they're sensitive snowflakes who can't take a bit of joking mockery mixed with actual criticism or B) Because the show is biased. The correct answer is both A) and B) are correct
I only discovered HIGNFY a few months ago and I've seen many of the old ones too. All I can say is that they stick it to whoever is in power, ruthlessly.
Cerne Abbas giant has large pe nis, because at some point - might be due to WW1? it got a bit overgrown, and somebody thought the belly button was the tip of the pe nis. So it ended up I think it wss, 16 feet longer. Bit foggy on details. Dredging up old info. Photos since then - and it has been generations, now, have made it seem planned - and pre 1914 photos are not many, but I hope I have the possible years right - but the belly button added - plus joining up the gap, thinking it overgrown IS true. It isn't that people slowly started increasing length, as Ian says.
As soon as I heard about Liz Truss being elected PM, I immediately thought about the cheese clip. "They elected the cheese lady?"
Excellent program this week. Must be the lack of bias …
That line from Ross about the hobbits was brilliant!
"Build back Baggins", could be a slogan :-)
Ria is hilarious! I hope they bring her on regularly, maybe as a host as well?
Yeah, she was great. It is obvious that most of her humour is pre written jokes, but they are so well written and she tells them so brilliantly that they never seems atall glib.
Love her!
Didn't really enjoy her. Too much agenda, too little funny...
But de gustibus I guess... :)
@@guykruger1 Does making jokes about the Tories' appalling job at running the country for a decade, and sheer hypocrisy count as "too much agenda" now?
She was an excellent new addition!
I haven't seen Ross Noble for a while. He seems to be slowly morphing into Danny Devito's Penguin.
He looks like he’s taller than danny devito

Stephen is one of my favourite hosts..love his vibe.
He was brilliant as Dirk Gently in the UK series too!
Ian was on fire!
That intro is seriously awesome & surreal - thank you.
Have I got a bit more _AND_ QI? Rock on!
I randomly looked if HIGNFY was on again, and praise the Lord- it's back! And just in time for my friday evening auntie mini spa 🙀😻
And I've got three episodes to revel on at that ☺️
Thank's from Sweden!
Many thanks from the United🤣States!
Some good chuckles....... thanks from Washington State in the U.S. RIA was great.... quick witted.
Oh I’m not the only American watching these
Excellent panelists this time out! Appreciated!
Very entertaining and very very interesting. Thanks for posting. Rgds NZ
Thank you, what a fantastic episode. They must have restocked the funny supply over summer :-)
Thanks! Watching from Canada!
Cheers for the upload.

Shout-Outs from the Western Suburbs of Adelaide haha
Hello from Port Hughes.
This is one of the few things that I miss from the UK. Nothing so good here in California.
Also in Adelaide!
Thanks for posting.
Great episode, good combo of people.
Great panel!
Watching from Australia!
Not only is Ria gorgeous but she's intelligent and very funny too. Where has she been all my HIGNFY lfe?
Getting her phd I think
Had never heard of her before but she was really good. Hope they bring her back.

@@lauriesicardaskey Well I seem to have struck a nerve.
Thank you 👍
Thanks for the upload!
Yes please section Boris.
If we get to choose between the term as used in mental health or pathology, I do have a preference though...
Love this in June 2023 watching the references to Boris, Liz Truss, Richi Sunak…
I don't think I've ever said ''no'' to a Bit More......have you seen me?
THANKS VIVAHD !!

No matter how accurate the jokes and how bad the country is falling apart, the Great British public will vote the same people back in power next time.
I really like Stephen Mangan..very pleasant bloke...on and off screen.
She is smart! I love this.
Great episode
Thanks for posting
Rishi Sunak pointing joke 🤣 @7:08
Ria Lina is very good value. I liked her German joke.
I like Ria Lina. Good addition to cast.
Her prediction didn’t even vaguely happen.
“I don’t know much about economics” Ria Lina…… uh huh…
She is right, she does not know much about economics.
@@johanneskarlsson3859 indeed. Smart lady with her PhD. Her humor shows her intelligence…..
Ria is sharp
Dear Britain, you don't have a government, you have a circus!
Stevie Ray where are you located...if it is The USA...you have a dog and pony show.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 nah, that's an elephant and donkey show but thanks for showing the quality of British education...

At least it is good comedy material...
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 Nope, but they're very much a joke here in Australia too!
Ria: "I can't make this funny..."
A trend emerges.
Wasn't Ross's dad given a Viking funeral? Surprised he didn't mention it.
Or did I imagine that?
The Gove Bachelor Party Intro
We import 2/3 of cheese. … yeah. Taste the difference 🤣
Thankx a lot:-)how do u do...
Are we going to get episode 2?
So Boris and Michal are the Donalds and Jareds of the UK?
Those Russian oligarchs seem to have made a good bid for world domination.
18:17 min, best segment ever

Liz and her pork, very cheesecake
17:30 Evidence that Just Stop Oil weren't the only wankers on the road.
Ilfracombe's in Devon.

Okay but does Liz Truss look a liiittle bit like Dara O'Briain in a wig or is this the dehydration talking
We need a new series. Please Mr Hislop.
Funny
Warning, Liz Truss getting Porked up
If you are worried about climate change, a fuel shortage is good news for you.
Hearing the remixed theme makes me miss Mr. Dogshit's remix with Bill Bailey.

"I don't know much about economics" - she was right.
Well she gave a more astute analysis than many politicians and business giants.
@@patharasown sure.
Neither does anyone in the Cabinet, so what does that make them?
@@liamnewton-harding1440 huh?
What a surprise. Non of them have the guts to criticize the bbc
Did you miss the “talking out of her anus” comment?
EDIT: Whoops I thought the cultural secretary was a BBC position.
Almost the entire BBC board has been Tory appointed. Maybe they were scared.
20:44 "I can't make this funny."
Yeah, we know. Why would you start now?
I called for this show to be cancelled 5 years ago. See, this is what you get now. I don't wanna say 'I told you so', but......
And yet, for some unknown reason, you decided to jump in, watch/comment on it...
Ria really doesn't get the point of satire. Her rants aren't funny or clever, they're just not funny leftie talking points.
So back to rewatching those Bernard Manning tapes then.
