Richard Ayoade got my heart and laughs with his wonderful face expression and reaction to the jokes and interaction with the colleagues. 21:29 Roisin: ...it's awful.. Richard: "Well I'm doing my best here. It's all right you know, I won't be here next week..." Solid gold comedy moment.
loved this ep. i don’t understand why some people are upset at the jokes made with Mick when jokes were all they were... at no point did any of them insinuate that they disagreed with the train strikes, this was just comedians making jokes with guests on a comedy show.
I think Mick's "Called a few strikes of" is seriously one of the best lines on HIGNFY in recent memory. If a guest like that can't get challenged, then satire is done for... Mick has some problems, in that he's in favor of drowning this country in the brexit lie, but if people get cross because there were some jokes about him...? Seriously, get real. I wouldn'tve had Mick on with his weird Brexit sunk cost fallacy, but than again I wouldn't have praised BoJo and mirdered Corbyn. In other words: thanks HIGNFY. You've done great..
Yea!!!! Can't wait to enjoy this extended edition. Many thanks and gratitude for taking the trouble to upload this (us off-shore expats rely on you for these uploads) 😘
I ***love*** Roisin for mentioning “The Room” during the Blackbird trailer - when that guy said, “Victor Blackley,” I immediately said “Oh hi, Mark!” 🤣
I'm very late to the party but the "Third World countries like... Switzerland" reminded me of my father's comment about travelling to the UK back in the 90s: "We were put in the non-EU queue... with Norwegians, the Swiss, and other rabble."
I have the will power. I just never _remember_ there are two versions, so I watch the first one that airs, and then when the "bit more" comes out I get a very strong feeling of déjà vu *. * That strange feeling we sometimes get that we've lived through something before, that what is happening now has already happened. Tonight on "It's the Mind" we examine the phenomenon of déjà vu *, that strange feeling we sometimes get...
This whole episode was funny but the comment at 39:58.. What do you think about that Mick? Something to work up to. I had to pause for a while to control the laughter. Richard's wit and timing are incredible.
Everyone who memorized the face and name of Liz Truss wasted their time… :D 16:40 "Truss has only been PM for three weeks." Hardly anyone expected this to be almost the half-time point of her "era" ;-)
It was Richard. The one done by the art department was spinning the correct direction. Richard was in his "don't give a f*ck" mode. He had higher priorities.
@bina nocht TNG 3x12 The High Ground, Data gives a list of times armed resistance successfully brought about political change and the Irish Reunification of 2024 is one of them
That last picture of Truss was baffling. How is that a normal human reaction to anything? What was she doing? I have so many questions and not enough words.
Claiming the Liz Truss _era_ would "just be a mess, not a disaster" ... lol. Well, as one memorable internet image put it: "Our expectations were low, but holy ****."
WHAT are they talking about!? That meteor on a driveway was found in Britain. Of course it's got water on it. It got RAINED on Dinn'it! 😂 Or maybe the person who picked it up had just been wiping their tears about the economy... I'm still recovering about the anal beads story. That's... words fail. Love Richard 'Reddit' A.
Very few, if any, episodes of deregulation have been successful. Taking away rules for corporations is seldom a good idea. It's just another way to takeover a business, make money by cutting more corners-laying off workers etc- then squeeze every dime out of it that can be had then get a (govt) bailout or a write-off for the losses. The wealthy business people get elected, take "donations" to make favorable laws & said donors (& themselves) get even more wealthy from those laws. Quid pro quo. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Perhaps a cynical view, but when you've seen it happen over and over its just the truth
The British seem to like nothing more than standing in a line and complaining about things, so this was perfect for them. I mean a line that went on for days and celebrities that both cut and didn't! Lol
I hope Mick Lynch can be like Lula, the Brazilian president, they have similar roots leading in their unions and making the working class conscious about their power to change the system. Good luck for him!
22:33, '' the globe's not going to exist next week '' this show has a penchant for prophecy, let's hope Ian's comment doesn't just pertain to a collapsing media outlet and not the orb we're perched on see you next week?
they've jumped on Mick Lynch about trains the whole time, as if the trains were owned and operated by the workers, rather than by shareholders (reusing this comment from the upload of the regular bit-less version)
they didn’t “jump” on him, and they certainly didn’t do it “the whole time”. there was probably a total of three jokes made about it and jokes were all they were. this is a show with comedians, so ofc jokes are gonna be made with guests
in my view, the value in satire is that it is based mostly on truth, and in cases like this where jokes are made using incorrect implicit premises that reinforce anti-union sentiment, i believe that to be harmful to the working class
Hahaha @33:30 when people totally missed the arrival of ML and rant as if they know what is going on. Deep blue.. 1996. Keep up. Your joke is 28 years too late. I can´t believe Richard let that one slide. He must know: "that is a very good point", well done, Richard.
Feels like they had booked Mick on before the queen died and assumed there would be fun banter and maybe a verbal fight and then the Queen died and everything they had thought to talk about got overshadowed by the funeral.
