Dara being Darth Sidious gives me life ❤️

[@ozmartian2]

Only if the Death Star is operational though!

[@nickcollins5191]

As someone who LOVED this show, I was kinda gutted that a lot of the format slowly changed. Headlines was always pretty damn funny to me. Between the lines (I believe that’s what the segment was called where bremner would say things and Hugh Dennis would ‘interpret’) was also another one of my favourite parts

[@jestermoon]

Evolution is the answer 1:11 😮 1:22 😂😂 Keep laughing Keep Stay Silly Stay Safe and Stay Free 🌐 ❤ 2:04 😂 2:22 😂🎉🎉

[@Angel-nu7fm]

Newsreel was the absolute best!!!

[@nickcollins5191]

@@Angel-nu7fm that was the one that Hugh did the voice over for right? I think there were a few (and I mean literally like 2 or 3) in the last 5-10 seasons of the show. I wonder if they still got some for the audience in later seasons but just not recorded/aired for the show each week.

[@lilymarinovic1644]

@nickcollins5191 but there are very few people who could pull it off like Rory and Hugh. IIRC they tried a few times with Frankie but wasn't as good.

[@gangrath]

​@@lilymarinovic1644Yep, I'm not surprised that if you get rid of Rory, arguably the world's best impressionist, then no one else can do the celeb part as well

[@SuddenSpark]

“ASBO - the only qualification these kids are going to get!?” - Awesome!!

[@TonyHavenMusic]

21:55 I really wanted her to finish “I applied for celebrity love island, but they already chose another island” 😂😂 I think that was the punchline

Richard the 3rd is world hide and seek champion, he was hiding in a car park for centuries.

[@emilybarclay8831]

His nephews beat him; they’ve been hiding in that tower since 1483!

[@simonsmith1974]

​@@emilybarclay8831there's no evidence they are. In fact there's no evidence they were murdered. Likely just early type of propaganda in favour of the Tudors (who technically had NO right to the throne but a minor one whereas Richard who definitely did have a right).

[@cris_j]

This show needs a revival.

[@TheJonesdude]

Sorry, too left wing you see. So much Bias. They never criticised labour when they were in power apparently. Only the Tories. It's typical BBC bias you see, which is why, of course, it's time to privatise the BBC.

[@kanedaku]

It wouldnt work. Its why it got cancelled. The comedians ended up shouting over each other for attention, so we'd have to have a completely different cast for a reboot.

[@tomturbuckle0076]

They tried to do an American version. So horrible. I could only stand one episode.

[@MuchWhittering]

​@@kanedakuNo, it got cancelled because they made the fatal mistake of criticising the Tories, which isn't allowed on the BBC.

[@nickcauser727]

@@MuchWhittering No, it got cancelled because viewer numbers plummeted, as they just kept booking 'diversity comics' and unfunny left wing mouthpieces. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Hugh's cheeky smile makes me laugh all the time

[@SeppukuOH]

Bring this show back!! I miss it so much!

[@testsubject6676]

The dueling "Richard III"s nearly made me fall out of my chair cackling. They just kept feeding off each other and getting funnier.

[@JRWatchman85]

I always get the impression that the other comedians don't like Michael McIntyre.

[@briancox9357]

He's rubbish

[@jcalahanp]

Your impression is very accurate, I have rarely heard any comedian have a good thing to say about him, how much of that is a put on, idk but the point stands

[@tattycakes2k2]

He’s not a spontaneous comedian, he’s a scripted one. I’ve heard that “the” joke on his other shows.

[@shnbrwn]

Have you seen his comedy? I'm surprised anyone likes him.

[@ginacable5376]

Mickey has told that old ketchup story on everything I've ever seen him on.

[@StubbyandShifu]

Still funny 😂

[@gangrath]

Well done. That's how stand-up works. A show takes a year to write, then tour to check the material, then the TV tour. So yeah, they reuse material. It may shock you to know that most of the spinning wheel bits are all scripted or at the comedians at least use safe material. At least Mickey's funny, unlike Michael McIntyre

[@AimeeColeman]

I can't believe how much they hated Gordon brown! He was much better than those that came before and after

One of the strangest effects I get from KZbin is seeing people age in reverse. I come across a comedian or other celebrity who is new to me, and soon after KZbin is showing me that person's work from 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago.

[@iamdb1990]

[@PeteLewisWoodwork]

There's nothing wrong with traffic jams; they are the most important part of the experience when going on holiday towing a caravan. When you arrive and the electric hook-up doesn't work, that's when it gets really spicy and exciting. If it doesn't all go horribly wrong, it's not a proper holiday...!

[@baylinkdashyt]

Y'know... For a show that's so damn cancelled, your production office is sure working really hard... And I can't help but wonder... why?

[@gangrath]

@baylinkdashyt well making new shows is expensive. You need to hire a studio and equipment. Pay the staff and talent. Get an audience in and security and hospitality. Editing, and then finding space for it to be broadcast Compliations? They have 235 episodes of content they can constantly rehash and make into new videos. People won't notice repeat clips or won't care, as they aren't wanting it 24/7. And then people will binge it and watch more, getting them more money and views. And it just needs an intern or junior staff to remix the videos then to be approved by the directors and producers It's really a simple answer to a some question

[@baylinkdashyt]

@@gangrath in the large, that's probably not a bad answer, but it is a current news comedy show. Those get out of date pretty quickly if you try to throw it on reruns. You can do it with Saturday night live, but you can't really do it with the daily show. I mean sure, we want to go back and refer to stuff, but that's a separate proposition

[@Goonerati]

Too many adverts.. booo..

[@gangrath]

@goonerati this is why I'm quite torn about creating a new Google account when I get a new phone. As seems this account is so old I barely get ads, whereas newer accounts get them all the time

[@crispy.monkey]

Britain is not a country, it's an island.

[@simonsmith1974]

Really???? 😮😮😮😮😮 Who knew?

[@gangrath]

Yep. Great Britain is the big island. Eire is the Irish island. British Isles is the archipelago, and is UK and Ireland and Isle of Man and Channel Islands and all the others. UK is the country which includes NI. But also England, Scotland, Wales and NI are all countries too. But the UK is the one that is the official name and the one that sits on the UN. Northern Ireland also allows you to be Irish or British. And there is free movement between the UK and Ireland, but not elsewhere in the EU. But there is also a border and checks. It's not that confusing if you are not on these isles, is it?

[@jimothy12355]

Parsons is so unbearable

[@JesgateOnDown]

Please never cartoon-up Dara's already cartoonish face... that thumbnail, please no. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@josephinemonahan915]

Katherine Ryan is low rent….talking about Irish people drinking alcohol…Dara let that go….he should have asked her about the treatment of the First Nations people at the hands of the Canadian government

[@gangrath]

@Josephinemonahan915 her dad is Irish. She therefore is half Irish and has full Irish citizenship. So she's taking the piss out of her own people too Her mum is British too. So perhaps you need to take a long look into the mirror before insulting someone where it seems you know fuck all about them and can't even be arsed to do a quick Google Also, why would a Canadian Citizen in 2024 be responsible for the actions of governments that they had no say in anyway? I'm British (and Irish but that's not important here) but I am not responsible for the Empire's actions either. My ancestors didn't make those laws or have a say in them. And I doubt hers did Also, comedy needs a sense of humour. You need to take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror, and while you are it'd be best that you brush that massive chip off your shoulder as it is weighing you down

[@drsch]

The least shocking part of this video was John Oliver being completely lost when it comes to creating original, funny comedy. He's the most unfunny person I've ever seen on TV.

[@KennethACrashwaggonMusic]

Almost. McIntyre and Cordon are even worse.

[@gangrath]

@drsch he's more of a script room comedian in his defence. He's done stand-up and I didn't find it too bad. but panel shows aren't his style of comedy

[@jamesbutler6253]

Widdicombe and Ryan on the same team, both so unfunny. I bet their Captain just couldn't be arsed that week.

[@dohertymichael]

Is that woman Mock The Week's DEI hire? She ain't funny.

[@cromulentpotato]

It's an interesting tack, isn't it, to invoke DEI when complaining about xenophobia. or were you less bothered by her lazy stereotyping of the Irish than by her naming Guinness over Beamish?
