Red Chair Stories are always so much fun to watch. Love the stories and the celebrity reactions. One of my favs was the one with the old childhood friend of Ed Sheeran. The best one might be with the man that stole Charlie Hunnam's date to a dance when he was a teen.
those 2 r one of my favorite stories. my other fav is from when they had Matt Smith and David Tennant were there to promote the 50th DW episode and met a cosplayer named Matt who looked exactly like Smith.
Ok so Helena actually wanted to hear the story, got him back on the chair, pretty sure she even said "what was she called?" Then he gets flipped again?
Was just thinking the same thing... you can tell the insecure attention-seekers by the ones who want to pull the lever. It's not funny or impressive...
Guests get flipped over instantly. How do these scenes appear in a video titled "The best red chair stories" when they didn't even get to tell their stories?
Ah yes the technicalities that totally ruined this video, should’ve been called best red chair moments so we can all enjoy it to it’s entirety (tries to insert sarcasm into text form)
8:23 I love how Robert Downey Jr was actually there when that lady said she had a Robert Downey Jr board in her room and that other guy wanted to flip her and of course of all people, Robert Downey Jr didn't want her to get flipped 🤣
V B you’re missing the point. The point is when celebs flip for no reason they themselves think it’s the funniest thing in the world, but it boring because it’s been done 1000 times. Graham has the finesse to know when to pause and flip in a ways that’s hilarious.
But Graham has a point, it IS a sleeping tablet. Even if it is well known for its illicit use, it is still what they asked for, a sleeping pill. So where's the joke...?
Re the story with the Rohypnol: They have asked for OTC sleeping tablets (some melatonin or valeriana), which are generally mild, but they were given a prescription medication for insomnia. It was actually a good story (albeit an embarrassing one for greek pharmacists).
He said he asked for a "particular brand of sleeping tablet". How do you know that what he got was not similar to what he asked for? He didn't say anything about melatonin or valeriana.
@@stavroulacharisi979 Gotta agree here. Also, the fact that the pharmacist asked a few times whether they were gonna use those pills "just for sleeping" implies he was giving him something stronger than he needed and/or doing something he shouldn't have. The unfortunate thing was that he droned on and on about the details at first, and when he got called out for being boring, he panicked and sped through the end, which confused everyone lol
The story about the guy vomiting on another guy sitting on the toilet and then punching him is a monologue from a play. I’m not 100% certain which play, but I think it’s fleabag.
I read a story over 15 years ago on a website .. been telling it to all my friends for 15 years.. my mouth dropped when he told the exact same story.. i think he made it up or got it from someone else..
I knew exactly where the French horn story was going when she said she stupidly went out the night before and got drunk It had the ending already in my head 😂
Kiwis using a lawnmower to hedge trim is sooo very believable. (I am a kiwi) I can also envisage Aussie’s doing it too after a few tallies.. (I live in Australia)
Robert Downey Jr. would be great casting for a Terry Gilliam film. I didn't see the full episode but I hope that is in the works. They look like they were pretty friendly on the couch too
@@krishna7404 if you don't think it's funny to see people get flipped out if a chair, that's your opinion, but maybe you shouldn't be watching a video in which that's the joke
I love how Olivia went
"HELENA HA HA HA"
"it's Helena"
."..Shaddapp!"
At this point, it seems that a quarter of the population of New Zealand have sat in Graham’s red chair!
Everyone except the sheep😂😂😂😂
To be honest, the Kiwi stories are usually good, maybe that's why the producers ran around London with a big net.
@raz katt Sorry.
A Finn here 🇫🇮 just trying to be funny😑
@@suzawilo that was pretty good, could pass for an aussie with that joke :) not all of us kiwis take offense, sometimes we take a gate
Bloody New Zealanders, coming over here and filling up our red chair! (Thanks Stewart Lee)
Producers: how many New Zealander (Kiwi's) do you want ?
Graham: yes
I HATE when the guests won‘t even let the people finish a sentence!
Makes it a rather pointless segment
well, the guests are drinking.... people can get a bit mouthy when alcohol's involved
But yes, I agree it gets bad.
Me too. Also, poor Helena kept telling them not to flip the guy and the other guest flipped him.
Robinh4 tbf the end of the story was a tad underwhelming but still 🥺🥺
I feel like it's a little rude. Shows poor manners imo
The Red Chair is a place of pilgrimage for the population of New Zealand
😂🤣👏👍
Its the best way to communicate with people from home because its so far away. Let's then know you're alright in the UK.

Or the one where jack Whitehall texted a girls mum when he was drunk
B C - I loved that one as well.

When Sir Patrick Stewart says to walk, you walk.
Make it so!
Funny enough that he played a guy in a wheelchair for years
SEBASTIAN LIPYATT!!!
i mean he is proffesor x if don't walk he makes you walk
The lawn mower story 😂😂
😂😂😂
Good looking guy as well
Doesn't he look like david arquettte
@@amulyasankara3931 omg i was thinking the exact same thing !!!
That story is wild 😂😂
RIP Chadwick Boseman
Ok so Helena actually wanted to hear the story, got him back on the chair, pretty sure she even said "what was she called?" Then he gets flipped again?
Francis Viola right? I wanted to find out if she remembered her!
She didn't want him to be flipped.
Naww wanted to hear more. I have a story about a Black and yellow mask Francis 😷 💛 hehe
i get the feeling that the celebs who are eager to pull the lever want to keep the spotlight on THEM
Was just thinking the same thing... you can tell the insecure attention-seekers by the ones who want to pull the lever. It's not funny or impressive...
Its kinda fun to use lets be honest
@@pennydesouza That's ridiculous and smallbrained of you. It's fun and even some are begging to be flipped here. Go hate elsewhere
so true! that dude that was sitting beside Anthony Joshua (no clue who he is) who flipped the girl just for the hell of it really annoyed me
@@vb8428 its no hate, its just a little anoying
Guests get flipped over instantly.
How do these scenes appear in a video titled "The best red chair stories" when they didn't even get to tell their stories?
Because it's bloody hilarious
I see you don't get UK humour...
Ricky Collins regardless of whether it’s hilarious or not, it’s not exactly a “story” since they’re flipped instantly.
acchaladka The humour has nothing to do with it, since it’s titled “stories” but they don’t get to actually tell the stories.
Ah yes the technicalities that totally ruined this video, should’ve been called best red chair moments so we can all enjoy it to it’s entirety (tries to insert sarcasm into text form)
Love the guy at 6:00 who just decided to walk on his own, he was like I told my story and I'm off. 😂
the story of the paramedic sounds like a bad joke but so funny at the same time XD
Graham Norton is the best talk show host imo
Yh defnitly
8:23 I love how Robert Downey Jr was actually there when that lady said she had a Robert Downey Jr board in her room and that other guy wanted to flip her and of course of all people, Robert Downey Jr didn't want her to get flipped 🤣
I guess that's why she told the story? *Because* he was one of the guests?
@@cordeliacuthbert lol Hugh Laurie's expression during her story at 8:35
"What's your name?"
"Maitland."
*Me* : i'm not proud of what just popped into my head.
J. Devos could you explain?
BDubosh 97 mainland ward
the only maitland i got is Ainsley Maitland Niles lol
She really moved on from boy meets world didn't she?
@@azetyler same :))
Nobody :
Graham : oh! New Zealand!! Home of the story. 🤣
"Ow!"
"What happened? "
"My nipples are stuck in the till!"
I don't think that it's funny when the celebs flip people for no reason and find it hilarious!
Then you're a sad person because some of the storytellers beg to be flipped too
V B you’re missing the point. The point is when celebs flip for no reason they themselves think it’s the funniest thing in the world, but it boring because it’s been done 1000 times. Graham has the finesse to know when to pause and flip in a ways that’s hilarious.
It's OBNOXIOUS and RUDE!
@@elizabethtrainer9732 awe! It’s all in good fun! They know the risks!!
You know what, Graham Norton no doubt is one of the greatest talk show hosts. But what really makes his show special is him and the audience.
So agree! His show is great now, but we never see him interacting with audience anymore..and barely red chair part :/ that's kinda sad
The joke of the last one is that the man accidentally roofied his wife and himself.
Unquiet Grave and no one got the joke except maybe Sam 😂
But Graham has a point, it IS a sleeping tablet. Even if it is well known for its illicit use, it is still what they asked for, a sleeping pill. So where's the joke...?
what did alan say mid-story?
@@user-qb4id8zn3h That if he wanted her to fall asleep, all he had to do was tell her this (never ending) story :)
@@Pommebussioh god, now that you've said it I can understand him perfectly :D thanks!
12:33 Graham Norton expression is legendary 😂
"New Zealand: Home of the Story" I believe you, Graham.
Whenever anyone mentions NZ now, my first response will be, *Home of the stories, New Zealand*

Everybody looked confuse apart from Graham because they did not know that Rohypnol can be used to treat insomnia

That’s how it’s supposed to be.

Exposed, lol. But the guy made it sound like a preemptive strike so it's not that bad, but he was also drunk so it probably was that bad.
Perhaps he is the prototype of fleabag's ex...lol
A lot of these stories are clearly made up. The producers don't bother to verify anything.
I read a story over 15 years ago on a website .. been telling it to all my friends for 15 years.. my mouth dropped when he told the exact same story.. i think he made it up or got it from someone else..
@@sweiland75 You can't verify these, otherwise they'll be too boring.
The amount of kiwis involved in LotR < The amount of kiwis on Graham Norton
is anybody left in New Zealand?
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Well Middle Earth is there so Hobbits, Wizards, Orcs, Ents, Men, Elves & the rest of Middle Earth 😂
I know this is called best of.. but half of these are just annoying and make me wanna punch the celebrities who don't let them talk.
mekkiepoo it doesn’t seem fun and bad optics of fancy celebrities laughing and pointing at the regular ppl wanting to be on tv
The Kiwi with the 3 missing fingers yarn was the best 👍
I love the simple guests. They just laugh when someone is flipped. Awesome jajajaaj
Helena is so lovely omg I didn't know she's so kind.
Seeing Chadwick makes me so happy and sad at the same time I love you you Chadwick and I miss you😔❤️
There’s just something about the kiwi accent that makes every story 1000 times better
I literally spit out the food i was eating from laughing about the nipple story😂😂😂😂
god, i love british tv, cheers from the states
New Zealand - “the home of the story”
Niall laughing about that man clapping for himself 😂
the fact that I am watching this after Chadwick Boseman is gone breaks my heart,
Rest in power King
Wanted: Contestants for the Red Chair on the Graham Norton Show. Being a Kiwi is not essential but is an advantage.
There needs to be a compilation of just NZ stories
7:12
Me: I wonder if a Filipino has ever been on the chair.
Mich: Hold my San Miguel
Yeah would have loved her red chair story
Hehe she was from PBB right? And now she has established her name in fashion industry. I wonder when she get to sit there tho
07:15 most of the philippines also feel the same. Thanks for turning the chair over Graham
I knew exactly where the French horn story was going when she said she stupidly went out the night before and got drunk It had the ending already in my head 😂
New Zealand. The home of the story.
0:15 😂😂😂niall laughing at him clapping cuz he knows would do the same if he said "irland"😂😂
Graham, May you have that laugh on your face every single day for the rest of your life !
I LOST IT after seeing Sam Smith's reaction to Rohypnol.
it made me sad to see Chadwick Boseman there laughing on the couch. what a loss
The title of this should be called "Best Chair Stories from New Zealand"!!!
That lawnmower story brilliant
Chadwick, I hope you're in a better place. Rest in piece
These are actually the funniest things ever 😂
Naill “ he clapped himself 😂”
Mich Dulce is really popular here in the Philippines. She is a milliner. She designs and makes hats.
Like how our Tom the gent did not like that woman being thrown of the chair. He pulled the chair thing for attention
That’s me and yes, I agree he did pull for attention!
Ooh, the Kiwi Paramedic is so hot haha
He looks like Ryan Reynolds
The second to last guy is what you'd get if David Arquette and Ryan Gosling had a baby.
Kiwis using a lawnmower to hedge trim is sooo very believable. (I am a kiwi)
I can also envisage Aussie’s doing it too after a few tallies.. (I live in Australia)
Is every guy from New Zealand cute or just the cute ones want to sit in Graham's Red Chair?
At this point I now expect at least one kiwi on that chair per episode
When they flip them straight away 😂😂😂
Nick, the paramedic can GET IT!
I think the joke is only one of you is supposed to get 'Roofied'
😂😂😂
Graham norton show is the best.
Wish I could flip some of the guests!
9:18 David Arquette is that you?
I agree with that lady who said that festival red chair story was awful. Usually Kiwis have the funniest stories.
I don't know if you've seen the red chair story about the Kiwi bloke whose friend had to go for a poo, it's one of the best stories ever.
@@TonyEnglandUK Indeed 😂 "Rory you naughty boy".
When he looked away and then was flipped 😂😂
2:22 Anthony looks so huge on that chair
Guest:
Graham: Home of the story!
In love with the paramedic...
Love red chair stories, but hate instantaneous flipping of story-tellers by rando celebs.
as a greek, can say that pharmacy story absolutely tracks.
LOL...
New Zealand always have the best stories on this show 😂
The most attention any of us New Zealanders get 😂
Ah yes. Celebrities bullying normal people
RDJ's laugh 😂❤
I have seen all of this past season and I only remembered a bunch of them. So funny!
The paramedic guy looks like if you ordered Ryan Gosling off of Wish
7:33 Looking at this makes me want to see RDJ in a Terry Gilliam movie.
It’s extremely annoying when so called celebrities keep flipping the red chair !
Chadwick 🥺💔
6:17 yeoooo bangorrrrr
I love her hair colour and frames! really suits her
3:20 dammn that’s a fine couch
Thanks for posting.
This is the best concept
Helena seems very sweet! ❤️
I feel like Graham knows some of these people because some he will actually listen to whereas others he flips for no reason.
So many New Zealanders 😂😂😂
This is the best gimmick in TV history
This is one of the best show ever !
Robert Downey Jr. would be great casting for a Terry Gilliam film. I didn't see the full episode but I hope that is in the works. They look like they were pretty friendly on the couch too
TG tried to get RDJ for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote but never got a reply
TG reads the letter he sent to RDJ on this show
Lol lots of Kiwis in this segment!!
The kiwi paramedic looked like a beefy Ryan Gosling.
when niall showed up my heart skipped a beat
See no point of this if you drop people without listening for a story, irritating
Sometimes the comedic timing absolutely works but other like Stephen Graham’s unfortunately really don’t
It's called comedy my dude
Then start a petition to remove the flipping mechanism. You're ridiculous
@@jamiethegaymie Is it, now? Too highbrow for me perhaps.
