If there is one of thing I am genuinely jealous of British people for...its their ability to insult people. It is an art you brits have utterly mastered and I wish I had such mastery.

Totally disagree on the storm name. I was sat in a station waiting for delayed trains when an announcer said. "We apologise for the delays for trains today this is due to ... Doris" everybody laughed. Brilliant

We've watched this guy grow up on TV. From a gangly, awkward lad with a hit & miss comic style, to one of the most consistently funny comics. Throw in a heart of gold, and he's the complete package. He's 40 now! Time flies when you're laughing. Thanks UK-a national treasure.

There's a good reason why society started giving bad storms a name. It goes back to the 1880s when a British meteorologist started naming Aussie cyclones after politicians who annoyed them... Man, wish we could do that with modern politicians.

I remember watching these when they aired. They were absolutely hilarious.

I love Russell Howard's energy. I'd love to be able to see him live one day!

I love how he turns real life matters into comedy, its brilliant. Its such a shame he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.

How did I live without this guy in my life, his humor makes the days stress melt away, I find myself laughing out loud till it hurts

I'm sure he had a little mental argument with himself over the brass-hole joke.. but the right side won.

i love how everyone cheered harder for the brass hole joke than just about any other joke in this compilation

When the rest of the UK introduced plastic bag charges there was barely any fuss and the media barely mentioned it. As soon as England introduced it the media went mad. Tells you a lot about how the media views the UK.

"You know I love the tuba," says the reporter who drops his mic down the bell of a sousaphone. That guy knows a lot about music, doesn't he? 😁

The Irish weather lady being so dramatic became a big talking/joking point, somebody made a remix of it that was pretty good

I mean, “Monsoon Nigel” kinda makes sense. Maybe the next one could be “Monsoon Farage.”

I never realized just throwing weather reporters into hurricanes was a specifically American tradition.

When that plastic bag whipped up into his face, I died. Laughed so damn hard I thought I was about to fall off my chair.

Part of me misses good news, as I grew up on it. Saying that, I’ll always love Russel’s comedy, and I love to see how it evolves.

7:08 I don't know why but this always makes me laugh uncontrollably.

"He's the most nervous man I've ever seen" Clearly you haven't met me, I go non verbal around strangers or stutter 😐

10:29 Sadly I am yet to find a spoon large enough to cover my eye, I need that oversized one from the “only a spoonful” meme.

A business owner called Chippendale, living in Cockamouth. How can u not piss yourself when he introduces himself at a business meeting 😅

We’ve been talking our own bags to the supermarket for years in Tasmania and the sky is still up there.

This man is a treasure. He hits it every time. As an American I just love his commentary on our politics. Russell is totally right. It’s crazy here!

Russell, we love you all around the world, mate. You and your team have a wicked sense of humor and I love this program. Never stop making us laugh :)

Russell deserves alot more subscribers and views, compared to other news shows that are so unfunny. Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦

England, last to discourage plastic waste, first to enact the bedroom tax 🙄

This guy... his sarcasm & humor.. Just *AWESOME* 🤣🤣🤣💯

I'll never look at a plastic bag the same way again. 😟

At 2:29, DON’T SWIM IN THE SEA!!!!! DON’T GO HANG GLIDING!!!!! TELL MY FAMILY, I LOVE THEM!!!!! She’s like something out of Game of Thrones! And at 2:40, SAVE YOURSELF!!!!! WINTER IS FECKING COMING!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lobotomised Shitlarks might be the best insult ive ever heard

The brass-hole didn't even know the difference between a tuba and a sousaphone....

Russell is hands down, one heck of a comedic actor. Someone needs to write a really first rate movie for him to star in.

Cockermouth isn't too far from me, my son laughs every time we see a bus that goes there 🤣

The trolly theft isn't just in the UK. I'd constantly find them in my apartment building when living in the middle east from stores that were easily a 20 min walk away. How do they get them back? Do they just send workers to every apartment building? I never once saw one in the dumpster.

Needing a sign that reads: "Road closed due to flood", says a lot about the average IQ of the population.

DON’T MAKE UNNECESSARY JOURNEYS, DON’T TAKE RISKS ON TREACHEROUS ROADS!!!

I found Russell by chance, and I'm glad he's bloody hilarious 🤣

A fact about the RTE coverage of Storm Desmond, just after its cut off here she says “People have been spotted in the water both today and yesterday” so that guidance was pretty fair

The reporter dropping the mic down the tuba lmfaooooooo xD

2:09 is an absolute classic

Bring good news back!!! Very few people can make me laugh but Russell gets me laughing a lot!!!

It's shows like Russell Howard's Good News that I grew up on, I've wanted to see him live since I was 14... I'm so glad that next year I'll get to see him live!

Seeing russell live in london this month, beyond excited!

I’m literally in Cockermouth ffs

Howard always makes me laugh.

I‘ve got so much to do but I can’t stop binging Russell.

Russel, I was at your "Gig in the Carpark" in Falmouth. Like a lot of us , we loved the show but want to humbly apologize for the heckler. That was my very first comedy show (at 37) and I loved it. Thank you to you and the support acts for making the journey.

"I love the Tuba it's one of my favourite instruments!" Yeah thats a Sousaphone.

Bro, I live in Florida and that's the best part about storms, you just turn on the news and the entertainment starts lol

I live in Naples, Florida (which is about 20 miles south of Ft. Myers) and we took the bunt of hurricane Irma. I have videos that most people won't believe. At one point everything just went sideways!

thanks for the laughs

"That Bond villain" was minister of economy in Greece … for 4 months

Russell, the " Bond villain " was Yannis Varoufakis. He was the minister of economy of Greece, between 2015 - 2016(?).

i keep watchin’ Russell over and over - and i’m still laughing my head off. it’s like all of a sudden i keep watching videos about Johnny Depp and can’t stop. in the same way, i find myself doing the same with Russell. i think it’s partly that they’re incredible at what they do, but also they both like and care about others very sincerely in their own ways. that always gets to me. that’s why Russell is my favorite comedian. he’s hilarious and he talks about real situations on his show from the heart. mwah, Russell. :) 🌷🌿🌼🌱🌷

6:05 when its your first day at work!!

I love these videos

Is the soggy biscuit 'game' an actual real thing? I have a hard time believing it's ever actually happened.

Lobotomised shitlarks is a great description of the Daily Mail.

"Don't go hand gliding" 😂

Laughed so hard! Best way to start the day.

3 months rainfall in 1 day Kayak to work 🤷‍♂️

I dont know how the algorithm chose this dude but I'm in the US laughing my ass off :D

7:48 I remember on eBay, people selling plastic bags for a penny. At least they didn’t need to Wrap up the plastic bag, they just put their addresses on it.

I love these compilations so so fucking much

I can't come home today, I've got Flu Margaret 🤣🤣🤣

Best show on earth.

What's funny about the floods was that I made a report as part of the Pitt review. The company's we pay for water were just keeping the money for profit and not doing their job and hadn't for over ten years. They were fined 21million... They did some work for a while. But for many years they're still charging and not doing what is needed... That were paying for. 50% of your bill.

My Dad died in Cyclone Tracy, lost Everything in the Floods a Year ago!!!, but, can still have a laugh at stuff. Cheers.

Danish sportsanchor saying 'shit' is a national sports hero. Massives handball player and all around everyday man. After every game, even the Olympics, he'd have a smoke and a beer. Often while giving interviews

Random note, I remember storm Desmond so well, I was 11 (north west England) my house flooded the first floor and we had to “evacuate” bc all the heating and electric was gone and we have pets who require specific temps etc, mental times, thank you for everyone who helped get our village and county back to rights - I also totally forget that cockermouth is a funny name to people bc you get so used to it lol Also I would say it cockermuth but I’m wrong lol, watching these instead of art work

I like the shirt Russell chose to wear for a session on floods!

Shitlarks....love it!

Brad Pitt went to Kickapoo High School. I love that name. There is a county here in California named Yolo. And even better they have a Yolo coroner's office.

split my coffee lol!! 8:53 that's literally the point you lobotomised.... saving that one =)

"WE'VE GOT TO RELY ON THE BRITISH PEOPLE'S COMMON SENSE"!

I still remember watching him on Mock the Week 😂😂 the idiot and the tuba... every time😂😂

That was really fun!!’

I love how (reckless) had orange juice to celebrate 😂😂😂

Woah woah woah Russell. " Chipendale who runs a toy shop in cockermouth". There's so much material in that one sentence it almost makes it sound fake

He's right, I didn't previously know of the existence of the phrase "lobotomised shitlarks". But now I'm going to use it at the first opportunity.

This is so funny 😂

Russell, sometimes you really are a bit too raunchy, but i am sooo glad i discovered you in April (‘22). you cheer me up no end. i love how you grin at your own jokes :) i think i’ve almost watched every single routine on YT. now i have to see all the whole shows. (i don’t always understand all the British stuff, but enjoy the audience laughing their heads off!! :) Thank you so much. Ta and however else i could say thanks in England :) 😝🌷🌱. hurricane Desmond - jeez!! LOL (hurricane X-34 or Z-23 would be soo much better. although i loved the female names. Yeah, Ida, beat the crap outta them. you know women power :) 🌀🌬⛈🌪

LEGEND 😎👌 FROM NEW ZEALAND ✌😁

He forgot the best ever name for a storm from a few years ago in Scotland Hurricane Bawbag

I never knew about Shitlarks either, it's my new favorite word...

Soggy biscuits 😂

Dane: Shit Englishman: You’re able to say that?! Dane: looks into the camera like he’s on the office

“Lobotomised shitlarks” my new favorite label

This dude has a unique and intelligent sense of humor!! 😁😁😁

Hilarious! A much needed break from the horrors of reality right now.

Im too busy mmmmmm blockin out the haters lmao

I just realized, he reminds me of a Tweenies character

We give storms human names in a vain attempt to make humans seem more powerful and influential in this world than they are in reality.

Much Love Santa Cruz tee shirt Welcome 2 California

windy dave...woahhhhh HAHA!

There is a place outside rushden in England called BELL END . when I first saw it I thought unbelievable. Another awkward one is gypsy street come across a few of those.

Remember we up here had hurricane bawbag

Great guns, Russ

I have tears 😂

That is how we pronounce Cockermouth though, lol!
