HIGNFY S37E05 Alexander Armstrong, Stuart Maconie & Reginald D Hunter

[@kikufutaba1194]

This was an episode I enjoyed very much Thank you for posting.

[@Mark_Lacey]

Reginald D Hunter, one of the funniest men on the planet.

[@patagualianmostly7437]

It popped up via YT... I did not search for this... Yes...I laughed...it was decent show... BUT: Nah. whilst I enjoyed much of what Reginald said...it was funny.. and on point... He was lost with the humour about the UK politics.... Understandably. I get that. But most of his humour was simply playing on the white-black divide.... How is it funny from a black guy but racist from a white guy? Huh? Don't you think all this crap is exactly that? Let's get back to humour...we are NOT all the same... that's what makes our different traits comedic... Let's laugh at our differences. Maybe then we'll start making some bridges, eh? Eternally pointing out the skin colour has not been an overwhelming success has it?

​@@patagualianmostly7437 What an extraordinary ramble. I suspect there's a point in there somewhere. 🤔

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

@@patagualianmostly7437your paranoid defensive ignorance is showing. As to why it’s different for a black guy, it’s about power. Until black guys head our major institutions and populate our parliaments in the same proportions as white guys have since 1066, it won’t be racist. You can’t reverse racism, because it is about power. The much more pressing question is, why don’t you know that? Why does one black comic get you so riled you write an essay in the comments?

"Y'all got women in the House of Lords?! Oooooh we gotta put on PANTS, now!"

[@thisravenhasflown010]

Reg is one of my faves now! He is so hilarious

[@beenaplumber8379]

"He dead." "You mean he died." "No, first he died, now he dead." An eloquent argument against accentism without getting all pedantic. I nearly crapped myself!

[@jonathaneffemey944]

Thanks for posting.

[@kathowed]

Priceless! Thanks BH.

[@BunneRabb]

Reginald D. Hunter is a brilliant comedian.

[@paulcookies]

Reg is a funny guy 🙂

[@mindlessgonzo]

Reginald's ideas of The House Of Lords is more exciting than the actual House of Lords.

[@patagualianmostly7437]

He's an American. WTF would he know?

[@haveaseatplease]

You might wonder who paid for the bird's reconstructive surgery, but they just put it on its bill.

[@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810]

I heard the surgeon was a real quack.

[@AuDHDarling]

@@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810 , yeah, she was sued for medical fowlpractice

[@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810]

"some people think he's a weirdo y'know?" Oh how right those people were. If only people did something instead of telling jokes🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Butterbean32]

13:09 that joke always gets me, it's so simple and it feels like it splits from the Mike Tyson detour so cleanly somehow

[@AuDHDarling]

That first joke by Reginald D. Hunter before the theme song is just perfect. You have the classist/racist English woman trying to "correct" his speech according to the rules of Standard English. Then Reg drops a brilliant play on words that demonstrates his mastery of Standard English, Black English Vernacular (BEV), and the ability to code switch between the two.

[@trueaussie9230]

In what manner is it "racist" to correct a person's grammar?!

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

@@lizziebkennedy7505 What an extraordinarily bizarre comment. Do you really think that qualifies as an (intelligent / intelligible) answer to my question?! 🤔🤣🤣

Redge explains it better then all.

[@hayreddinbarbarossa661]

Well that Jimmy Saville being a weirdo joke was remarkably prophetic.

[@patagualianmostly7437]

A mate of Alex Belfield apparently... form his Radio Leeds days.... What goes around.... etc

[@ronmexico1652]

Funny that Paul mentions to Reg, Boris previously being on the show a lot and became mayor of London. Its even better now.

[@RIXRADvidz]

subbed up with the ding dong, the pleasure is all mine. Thanks for the Brain Candy.

[@davidconnell1959]

Okay, how is it possible Reggie has not been on Taskmaster yet? Smart, funny, sassy, man, he’s the whole package.

the sax player on Baker Street was Raphael Ravenscroft

The Hum🤣

Closed captioning is horrible on these

[@kriswarren2469]

Pool and snooker are different - do they not play pool in England?

[@AuDHDarling]

I think it might be called billiards there

[@NeilJ894]

Not in the house of lords

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Billiards

Take A Moment Have a laugh

[@papagarth]

The hum, I understand : some of us have hyper sensory problems; it's common for autistic people, for example.

[@linrob1312]

Thought it was just Boris with the mistress carrying on with while his wife had cancer..but now realise its a Tory thing..!! Now that mistress is ensconsed in Downing St!

[@BunneRabb]

Why doesn't America have panel shows anymore? This is a hoot.

[@AuDHDarling]

@@smellslikelayne , one of my favorite panel shows is What's My Line?, which was a US panel show from 1950-1975. I've Got a Secret and To Tell the Truth are similar examples from that era. @midnight (2013-2017) was a US panel show. It was okay.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

I like Reggie’s House of Lords much better.

[@cuzned1375]

I know i’m years late with this, but… I’m amazed that no-one noted, the problem with dude’s woods was not that _he had them_ , but that he took taxpayers’ money for them, by claiming for their upkeep in his parliamentary expenses. Though he could afford to finance his own privileged lifestyle, he instead stole from less-privileged people to finance it. The fact that this esteemed panel let themselves be led to talk about class jealousy rather than the actual issue is disappointing. Even more disappointing is that we today are still being suckered the same way. As long as they can sneer that anyone who objects is just jealous, they can avoid being held to account.

[@daftlad526]

If there is one person's opinion I would listen to on political issues, it would be Reg's

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Behave.

[@bobburroughs6241]

Years old episode.

So?

[@trueaussie9230]

Oh, Mr Hunter. 'He IS dead. He IS dead.'

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Huh? Get a life.

[@thenodfather]

He IS dead 🤪 (grammatically)

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
