We've Given Too Much Power To Morons | Lubricant 

Agreed. We live in an age of politicians acting like celebrities, and celebrities acting like politicians.

one of my cats used to alert when my blood sugar dropped low while I was sleeping! She had a very specific meow that she only used then, and she'd keep at it until I woke up or someone else noticed and woke me up. She stopped doing it when I got a continuous glucose monitor a few years ago - like she knew she could retire 😂 you can't assign a cat that job the way you can a dog, though - they have to volunteer

The "professionally upset" - priceless.

What I love the most about Russel is how he can be funny and joke about most things without being mean. He doesn't have to rely on racist or mysogonistic jokes or stepping down on other people to be hilarious.

Influencers might be morons but the people they influence are bigger ones.

Russell is a good man. It’s sad but not unexpected that the people making the most sense are comedians. Cheers from Australia.

Never stop, Russell. You have an amazing gift that brings joy to us all.

Actually, in Sweden we do have banter as well. How else are we to survive our dark winters? Cheekbones aren't much help there, unless they light up. But humor is one of those things that can be difficult to translate from culture to culture, as I've heard that other countries tend to find Nordic comedies rather dark and morbid.

Ok, honestly this line is so true: "when you observe the world through social media, you lose your faith in it." That line got my sub. I had the exact same experience myself with social media and media in general, and since I cut myself off from those things, aside from Instagram, I've been a lot better off these days. News media and social media are surprisingly bad for mental health when used consistently.

Love this. I have multiple disabilities including a divergent squint, and my fiancée has diabetes, and I found this hilarious

I can relate to the Diabetes dog, I was on a Caribbean cruise and I saw a man who had a small dog with him. My mum thought it was a puppet when I mentioned it but I remembered watching a programme sometime before then so we went over to the guys and asked him and he confirmed the dog was real and it was there to help him with his Diabetes.

I love how Russell can be funny whilst delivering a serious message

I really love to see more heart and love in Russell's routines. That bit about the dog detecting Maureen's diabetes was both hilarious and beautiful. Jason Manford's been bringing more love into his routines too. Sooo good!

I just love the way Russell's brain works.

Love Russell! He's on the side of right and the underdogs yet naughty at the same time. Perfect combo!🤍

Russel is sheer brilliance without having to lean on picking on anyone undeserving for a cheap laugh. Empathic, funny as hell, and clearly with a bit of luck with his Swedish acquaintances.

Amazing! I would love to see Russel live. He is hilarous!

My rescue staffy Cross EBTerrier has saved my life twice. She wasn't trained to tell me when my hypos were going to happen, after a year where I had more than one seizure a week (I fall unconscious and then have seizures when my blood sugars drop below 2, not many diabetics have seizures thankfully) she learnt the warning signs. The first time I was home alone laid on the sofa about to slip unconscious she scatched at my chest until it bled whilst licking my face, until I came round long enough to grab the lucozade off the coffee table. The second time my partner was in the garden and whilst I was half unconscious on the sofa she ran outside and barked at him more than she ever had and ran back into the flat then back out and barked the same so my partner knew something was wrong, came inside and gave me hypostop to bringmeround. We now recognise the signals she gives when my sugars drop. We just thought she was being weird before! 🐶🐶👌❤❤

Once you take yourself too seriously life is a lot less fun.

WOW! Thank You for supporting our sense of humour! I too have been in situations where something I thought was "funny" offended a listener, and I was the sad and puzzled recipient of her diatribe! I really enjoy your ability to see the humour where others fail to see themselves!

Great! 😂 Now I want to watch Steve Hughes "Offended"! Wishing everybody a great weekend from Norway! ❤

@Russell Howard. I'm a Brit who lives in the USA, and for reason too dull to go into, I'm stuck here, when I'd far rather move home. It's mental here, in a soul crushing way, not in a fun way. I just want to say thank you for this. I really needed to hear this, and due to a TBI, I just rediscovered you and the timing could not be better. I'm telling all my friends about you, as well, as we all need a laugh riot. If you ever come to America, please do a show in Philadelphia, PA. I'll sell my plasma, my soul and my collection of dust bunnies to get tickets. For now, I'll stick to admiring and enjoying you here. Cheers. x

I want to watch Russell in person. I am from US but in Poland for a few months. However, I am ready to travel to UK for his show🙏🏾🙏🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇪🇺🇪🇺

When you did the dog telling the lady to have a biscuit I literally laughed till I cried. Which was a sight to behold since I was taking my dog for a walk at the time. Awesome stuff man.

Thanks so much for standing up for common sense Russell!! 😎👍😀🙏

As the great philosopher Ben Obi Wan Kenobi once said, "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"

Definitely!!! We must NEVER lose the ability to laugh at ourselves 👏👏👏

I’m fussy about comedians, but I like you…I like you A LOT!👏🏻😂🤣❤️🇬🇧

"I imagine he is" is a great line to end that set on.

Me & the dog loved it! The cat, however…. Awesome stuff Russell😊😊

He's one of my favorite comedians. Very clever, very funny.

Oh Russel don't ever change, you are an amazing funny, empathic, intelligent man and comedian. I laughed myself to an Asthma attack, but I'm ok, I have a lazy left eye and love it when you joke about yours.

Russell is the yardstick for how bad things have really gotten. If he ever loses his optimism then it’s actually all over.

i love him i want Rusell news hour !

Love how he points out the same silliness of some of those on the right and left.

You have a wonderful mind, thank you for enlightening me and making me laugh 😂🙏🏽🤗❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

You bring me so much joy and laughter. Keep the jokes coming

this is why I love Russell ❤

Excited to see him in October!

I saw russel howard in Oxford a few weeks ago. These jokes are still great after hearing them a couple of times

Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out of it alive 😎

I'm a Brit and I managed to bag a Swede. I feel like I won the lottery.

Absolute gold Russell, with two l's and a wonky eye.

oh, my. You, Russell, are tremendous and brilliant. Thank you.

So true, great clip. Keep up the good work mate. Need more of people like you in this world.

We've given too much power to morons is the quote of the times now. Haha

What a brilliant man! 😂❤

Met a bloke in Greggs, he got a drink from the cooler (on a deal) and was so happy as he walked back he had a little dance and sing-along to the music. Really just made my day and I shall not forget him! No, he was a sane fellow, just a happy one!

Russel is a magnificent bastard, great story teller, totally love your humor

Love your very wise wit, Russell. Keep them coming.❤😂😅

Loved the diabetic dog scetch 🐶🐾🐾😘🤗

Absolute legend!

I haven't even watched it yet, but betting it will be worthwhile just by the title. Yep. Worth it. Gonna have to check out more.

Could not stop laughing this week,my wife is on night shift and she complains about me laughing in bed

You're great, Russell! Thanks!

Now I'm literally imagining someone interrogating a chicken 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Absolutely brilliant! Nice one, Russell!

Great message! "What a Wonderful World " Lois Armstrong

Has anyone else noticed how many of these "influencers" end up dead? Everyday another one has killed themselves or have been killed

love it. Lookin good Russell!! as you always do

I have a (very) lazy eye. I love your jokes about it. I worked with another with the same, and we continually made and received jokes and comments about it. It actually "normalised" it.

Absolute genius! More, please.

Reading that title... it's sadly true. Yesterday I was waiting at a bus stop and this dude comes over and starts yelling and swearing at me for standing in front of the part of the bus stop bench he wanted to sit on. I moved without saying a word... and he continued to yell and swear at me because of what I'd been doing as if I hadn’t just moved when he wanted me to, even at one point for some reason going "what? You wanna push me onto the road? I bet that's it, isn’t it? You wanna push me onto the road into traffic!" I had not said a thing. I hadn’t interacted at all with this guy. After several minutes, I finally just asked him, "What is your problem with me?" His response... was that I'd been standing in front of where he'd wanted to sit. I then *tried* to point out I'd moved as soon as he wanted, thus I didn't see the problem, but he was being so loud I had to raise my voice to be heard... and he then acted like I was going off on a rage, started filming me and said I'd threatened to push him into the traffic. 🤦‍♀️ I worry what him posting that video will do, because I just know he's got some idiot followers who will take his side. We have given people like that the power... and it's extremely concerning. Hopefully the dumbass took it to the police, they saw how HE was the ass in the video and they put him in his place.

Yep. First time here but I will definitely be searching for more. Very funny.

Love your content man🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂

Excellent observations! We live in the Age Of Stupid.

As a yank I have to say the accent just kicks it up a notch for me. Just love it. I think he’s propper funny though!

Brilliant,, 🙏🏽

You had me laughing so hard! Thank you :)

I love this guy so much

Super glad that you're returning to NZ.

Love him. Hes funny but makes good points. And he isn’t a right wing loon.

You are brilliant! Love your take on the world 😂❤

Its incredibly encouraging to many people when the see an on line influencer making soo much money.. Personally I think they have zero morales & most saddest of all is they encourage young kids. Social MEDIA, the drug of the nation for kids.

Brilliant, mate.

Honestly I think Comedians are like the court jesters of old, they are by and large the only ones who can say the truth these days.

Lov'vit. You've addressed all's that wrong with society in the footage 😂 pmsl

Just Awesome!!!!

Right on, brother! Sanity must rule.

Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That was so good!

Russell you are the best.

Love this guy lmao😅

Nicely done.

Love ya Russ 😘

Just brilliant 😂

Absolute gold

That was brilliant. Personally, between my husband and myself we have a shopping list of health issues, mental and physical, and we joke about it. It's a coping mechanism, and one thing that really gets on our nerves is people who are offended on someone else's behalf when that person either doesn't care or finds it hysterically funny. Loved the term you used, 'The Professionally Upset'. It sounds like a full time job title because it is ALL they do. It justifies their entire existence. They have nothing else and are essentially sad wankers. Humour is a precious gift. Laughter is good for the heart and soul, and we despair as we see it being increasingly eroded by Woke. To us, WOKE IS A JOKE.... just a particularly bad one. Hopefully one day, they will wake up and look at themselves and say, 'God, what was I thinking? I've been such a tit.' Woke is the fun police.

I have a feeling that Russell may love dogs 😊 🐕

Brilliant

6:50 - Nope, That one could ONLY have happened in the UK! ;D Now, I love when comedians do what you did earlier in this show, and pretty much disarms any joke about an impairment. Your "wonky eye" joke was pretty eye-opening to me. I´ve never cared a lot about it, and I never called anyone on it, but I always feel a little bit uncomfortable once I realise that someone has it, but not out of disgust or anything. It´s just like, I never know which eye to look at!! Because a person with a wonky(lazy) eye will always try to look around, to hide their wonky eye!!! I would much rather want to know which eye is their master eye (IDK if this is a medical term, but we use this in shooting, the master eye is the eye that your brain decides is best suited for close attention to any suitable target...??). If I knew, I might be able to establish some eye contact, but if you don´t tell me, how can I ever know? Also, I never knew that you, Russel, had a lazy eye until this very show. Been watching you for years on taskmaster and talkshows, but it never occured to me. Thanks for bringing these things up! I just made a decision that I will make an easy approach on a coworker to talk to him about his lazy eye. I want to just know how he feels about my look wandering left to right as I´m talking to him, as I never know which eye to focus on. Plus, it makes me a bit shifty, not knowing what he´s looking at right now...

I’m breathing thru me teeth! 😂😂😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂

This was the next video I was shown after Russel Brand…I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but surely that’s deliberate by RU-vid 😂

Genius, as always.

You're the best!

Lovely funny fungus 😂. So true tho. Love the English ppl. Please continue what you're doing.

Sad truth nobody can laugh at themselves anymore,everything so flippin serious

Has anyone noticed the lack of satirical programmes on mainstream channels? Come on Mr. Howard! Pitch for one!

'Professionally upset' brilliant comment.

Very clever good routine. We need more laughter 9:02
