So weird not hearing any audience noises

This lockdown was so heavy even the introverts are starting to struggle.

Boris really do be acting like he's campaigning rather than actually being in charge

Is it bad that this is my main news intake lol

Government: No groups bigger than 6 Also government: Keeps primary and high schools open with classes of 30 in a room

As someone who had an anaphylactic shock, almost died and was told by 111 that it would be fine cause they are following guidance, I know that this government has made us the laughing stock of Europe 😂

Fairplay bing a comedian with no audience... This shit isn't easy for them...

My school is on a cliff and we have to keep the windows open now. It's that dam cold the teachers are telling us to keep our coats on. Boris open your bloody windows and freeze like everyone else.

So, all in all, the most important bit of advice is "Do not spoon your Granny."

I accidentally called 'Boris Johnson' 'Boris Nonsense' and decided not to correct myself

Right, who else thought Russell's three word slogan would be "Go ****** yourself"?

Russel howard: who the fuck is playing pass the parcel this Christmas? Me post christmas: Me I guess since my sister decided to give every present she wrapped multiple layers.

THIS MAN IS 40 YEARS OF AGE Genuinely thought he was like 28

The government says the NHS Covid App is brilliant! ...it can't tell when I've come home from Uni for the holidays and have moved A HUNDRED FUCKING MILES.

The heckler who clapped when he made the joke about his eye 😂😂

for a comedian its such an important part to have the audience laughing. to continue to make people laugh when there is no one to actual see laughing it quite selfless in a way. this guy is a national treasure.

I respect him for still doing this without an audience. Must be very weird for him

“My nan’s dying of COVID” Twat Hancock: I know isn’t our government doing a splendid job :D

Spitting image doesn't need to build new dummies. They can have ours.

Sadly, more common sense and advice can be found in this compilation than a large proportion of UK mainstream media. Thank you, Russell, for saying what the majority of us have been at least thinking this year!! Best of wishes to all

Matt Hancock blackmailing my age group was so annoying. Not like you’re sending us back to school with thousands of kids ugh our governments a pisstake, they’re gonna send schools back in tier 4’s Edit: just saw the bit about avoiding a second lockdown... aren’t we on our third one??

Every time he uploads, I feel like a child opening a present.

There's always one guy who likes the electric fence, though... Like, too much...

a friend summarised the state for me: how can we hope for good from a man who's initials are BJ

It’s so sad that we laugh at politicians and listen to comedian’s political advice

That bloke who cussed" ffs! " Total mood.

Definitely weird not to hear the audience.

Feels weird without an audience

Nice to see the US isn’t the only one that handled this terribly 😅👍🏻

One of the lads was working away, staying at a pub. Had a few pints and needed to order a substantial meal - he ordered his breakfast for the following morning

Imagine Russell being your dad man, every day would be a scream lol.

Never clicked so fast! Thank you for getting me through 2020 x

Ah yes. No groups above six... and yet 30 in a class, 100 in a corridor and 100 in the lunch hall.... no wonder my year, (11) has been sent home twice. The windows definitely help, we can definitely all concentrate whilst freezing and having wearing coats in class being banned. I don’t want to go back to school, but I can’t work from home properly. This is just not helping anyone.

The sign language bloke looks like Dara obrian with hair

"The prime minister is trying to help prevent a second lock down' Me watching this in the third on 😑

People: Lockdown y/n? Gov: Mayb'doodle-noyesn't?

This feels like that one season on Red Dwarf that didn’t have a live audience. You know it’s funny and you know when people would be laughing but without it it just feels lonely :(

Can Russell just do the news from now on?

"Dont kill your gran by catching coronavirus and passing it on"... Umm... encouraging schools where social distancing is practically non existent....

100 cases: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 10 million cases: go to work :)

"go back to work or risk losing your job" uh excuse me boris your country is in a lockdown and thats not helping anybody ಠ︵ಠ

'the three bellends' pub bit made my day XD...

You can still hear the audience laughing during the punchlines😂

Needed this thank you. My Lazy eye is far lazier than yours

Don't you think boris johnson looks tired?

I actually heard myself laugh out loud for the first time without the audience laughter 🤣 this guy is a real g

Matt Hancock: "Dont kill your gran by catching coronavirus" Me: But she is 80 and has actively stated to the rest of the family, "I dont give a damn if I catch it, I just wanna continue to enjoy life while I have it".... the same woman who said "I cant go into lockdown, I have things to do".

Save the NHS - we're still trying to sell it. Food flies more than we do

i'm crying in every possible emotion

Man I love living in New Zealand 🇳🇿

It's hilarious at the beginning that they felt the need to specify that it was adults being asked to go back to work 😂

Russel is make the funny side of Covid-19 it helps us make it though isolation

I believed Boris couldn’t surprise me anymore Oh boy was I wrong

Feel like there’s an absolutely sick (heh) beat to be made from politicians going “er” or “um”

The health leader in Denmark very quickly went out after the lockdown and said that "sex is good, sex is healthy, we approve of sex" xD They just adviced you to find a 'buddy'.

You’re amazing ♥️ thanks for the truth of it & the laughter

Russel never fails to make my day. Hilarious.

The Government Daily briefing on Coronavirus where a joke

Nah I love you man you are literally so inspirational you take dark gloomy and depression subjects, turn them into comedy whilst still making great educational content and points and you even stick at it when no one is in the audience to laugh because you find it important and your actually the best person in this country hands down

russell makes me crease so much. i love it

😂😂😂 love your humour ✊❤️🇨🇦

These videos literally saved me from 2020

Thank you Russell Howard, I needed that laugh

Awesome as always 👍👍 you have kept us sane and honest through this 👍 As an NHS worker I understand why we are never told when a member of the government comes for a visit 🤷‍♀️😁

Thank you for your humour this year, I have been stuck in self isolation for 11 months, you have helped make it bearable.

The main mistake that was made was lifting the lockdown as soon as the R number went below 1, it should of been for longer, end of!

Russell, you are my hero.

5:42 best advice I've heard all year. Thanks Russell :)

Haven't the UK been though 3 lock downs this year what next

Russell Howard for prime minister 😍

Thanks whatever you really cheer me up!

Russell is one of the few good things this year

Eat out to help out That was hilariously done

I would love to see Russel Howard do a skit on how uni students have been ignored and are not getting the financial help they need during the pandemic

Brilliant and so true!!!!

You are brilliant mate!

I about fell out with the Substantial Meal beer! 😳🤣 I always thought having Guinness and having a multi-vitamin was all you needed for to get your daily 5. 😁

No audience but I'm laughing like mad 😂🤣 Can hear the laughs where it should be

Russell is so strong to do this to a camera and no audience. Thanks for staying

Thanks Russel for lifting our spirits this year. Still doing a great job without an audience

Love the vids man

I cant help but notice that Russ is looking a bit like shaggy

funniest and not funniest thing ive ever seen/heard!Russell you are a legend!!

Love Russell Howard. Personally I think he's a brilliant comedian. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant summary (albeit, very sad...) Hope everyone has a decent New Year, whichever part of the world you are from. Take care (and stay safe;-)

honestly too funny mate! When im stoned your my favourite comedian to watch! Lol aka rn

Oh my, the old Aussie ballad is coming true: The pub with no beer :p

it’s so eerie in some parts

This is great :)

Tier 5 lockdown here we come folks

I swear Russell Howard is elite🤣🤣🤣

Gosh, you make me laugh so hard I almost get a hernia every time you make a video

Eat Out Help Out....... Stay In Get Thin Over Christmas

Hahah my testing centre is less than 5 minutes from where I live. I’ve never had to drive that far anywhere because I live in jersey 🇯🇪

By far, one of the best try not to laughs

Love this man best jokes

It would have been nice to see a timeline in the buttom of the screen, with each clip marked on.

I was watching this, got to half way through. Fuck we're not even in September. Yup seems about right

Back to the future joke had me 😂😂

The book for an emergency part reminded me. Today i saw a poor old man trying to book an eye test for the 5th time after having tried a while before. They refused to let him into the reception room while it was pissing down raining because of social distancing despite having more than enough room within and tolled him he needed to book online, sending him home again. He explained how he cant access the internet and his calls are being declined or is told to book through the website. Companies need to get their shit together with all this booking bullshit. The woman speaking to him legit tried to guilt trip him, telling him that "Times are hard". He is at the age most at risk and this company is really telling him they have it hard???
