For anyone curious cows have plenty of emotional range and are extremely sweet they have very strong herd bonds.

[@emordnilap4747]

They have best friends, and babysit for each other.

[@IMightJustGetMe]

And I'm sure they've told you that themselves......

[@jonmiller6787]

Those are all metaphors scientists use to explain animal behaviors. It isn't a literal best friend relationship. They're cows, not people. They're fine with us farming and cooking and eating them.

[@zenleeparadise]

​@@jonmiller6787they aren't "fine" with it they're just stupid and have no clue what's happening.

Russell's mum has a weird yet wonderful mind 😂

[@RhamanaChan]

11 years since my dad's gone, it still gets me every now and then but the sentiment "grief is like the ocean" is incredibly true. But its true, we're here then we're gone, as long as we can say at the end of it we are happy with what we've done, thats all that matters.

[@nitzyblack6143]

I agree. Grief is definitely like the ocean. Lost my Dad 13 yrs ago and my Mom this past Jan.

[@sparrowwilson4514]

His mum is hilarious. You can see where Russ gets it. 😂😂

[@jessieb7290]

They need more shows together 🥰

😂😂😂 Russell , I just love the way you interact with and describe your parents. What incredible relationships 👏👏👏

[@nitzyblack6143]

My favorite line of your Dad's is, "I'd rather shit in my hand and clap" ‼️😂🤣😂

[@ghomerhust]

i found that one to be absolutely amazing

[@gillianrayden9553]

I lost my dad nearly a year ago. Enjoy your family and cherish those moments. I wish i had cherished time with him more!x

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Cows have a lot of emotions. All the cows I've tended to have had best friends growing up and have been incredibly concerned for their calves when they were out of sight.

[@Prince__Teclis]

I got stoned with my sister once. My mum just came up to my room and said "your sister is smoking weed in the kitchen, wanna join her?" So I did.

[@YONCE8701]

😅😂 Your mom is the real MVP.❣️

[@lizanna6390]

I came downstairs for a drink at 3am and noticed the living room light is on. I go in and my mother is on the sofa giggling wildly, half-wearing her dressing gown. She'd woken up and couldn't get back to sleep so she pulled on dressing gown and went downstairs and hula hoop on the Wii fit. Not sure of that logic Got sweaty, threw off dressing gown and a few minutes later realised she is a grown woman, hula hooping on a game console in the wee hours, completely naked. Took her a while to tell me why she was shaking with laughter.

[@Mortthemoose]

😂😂

[@deadwalking100]

This wonderful man is so scarily accurate! " youd like that wouldnt you" Thank you Mr Russell for all the times I have 🤣😆🤣

[@cassandrakarpinski9416]

Awwwww the story about the hula hoop was really sweet

[@indigentphd]

I’m sorry you have lost important people. Life is not always a joy, but we drag through until it gets better again. Hang in there ❤

[@waterdragon2224]

The bit where he does his girlfriend’s voice, he sounds a lot like Frank Spencer. 😂😂😂 If you know, you know. 👍

[@catherinegallagher1101]

Aw sorry for your loss Russel it’s hard losing family members in such short time apart too

[@cammyman32]

That was some good life advice right there. Russell’s dad sounds like a great man.

[@perranmaid]

I love this! I loved the program with them both travelling around together; him and his mum, I mean. Love to meet his parents, I think we’d get on well together…🤣😂🤣

[@RangerJeni]

What was it called?

[@perranmaid]

@@RangerJeni Russell Howard and mum. USA road trip and Globetrotters. I thought they were brilliant 🤩

[@machellecron5786]

@RussellHoward You are hilarious! I found this video last night and shared it with my mom because she is a smoker too and I knew she would laugh as much as I did through the whole video. I had to put you on again this morning just to start my day with a for sure laughter! 😂 Thank you for being you!

[@temu2044]

Oh man. Maybe we never get to die because we got those moments and they play over and over again every time we get to the death part. Thanks Russell's dad :)

[@shahj1620]

I watch Russell Howard when the news is dark

[@sharronkin2636]

Your dad is spot on; spoke the truth, as you do now..

[@SusannaSaunders]

I'm glad you have wonderful parents Rus. Sadly, I can't say that about mine. But at least I've got your humour to lighten that load. 🙂 thanks for the laughs!

[@thatc0vidgirl]

Dear Russ- I’ve been a massive fan since the days you appeared on Mock The Week. I love your comedy it reminds me of me n my brother growing up. At the age of 34 I got Covid-19 in March 2020. I was in a medically induced coma and was on life support and on mechanical ventilator basically being kept alive for 3 months and my lungs never recovered. I need oxygen 24/7 and different breathing machines also it’s left me in chronic pain and in a wheelchair because I cannot walk as my lungs sats drop dangerously low . On the daily I go through so many different emotions. Happy sad angry depressed, and more. My mum died 10 years ago and my dad is not in my life, what your dad said really resonated with me. Also massive respect to your wife who I know from your other videos worked hard during covid saving lives ❤ I don’t know if every day will be my last, i have permanent fibrosis of my lungs, the covid affected my heart the scar from the tracheotomy has tethered to my neck ligaments creating throat issues. I have interstatial lung failure. I was given 2 years to live 3 years ago. I have 3 kids and I do think about death as I’d be leaving them with no family 😢 Thankyou so much for cheering me up for so many years xx Hoping to finally come to one of your shows soon health permitting. It’s so nice to laugh. Cheers Russ From Danielle xx

[@Nitehawkmk77]

When are you and your mum doing another show together it was comedy gold

[@jessieb7290]

So funny and yet so gross. Made me think did my dad ever think that too. Lol I like how Russ makes us all laugh and think at the same time!

[@juliencornelius3577]

Russell, you are a very funny person. I can’t imagine my mum stoned.😂

[@simonwinter8839]

You are living in wrong country. Try Iran.

[@gretebremseth1622]

Ouch!

[@TheBanana93]

Man im lucky to have parents who smoke hash haha. Been stoned and drunk with mum many times at 4am at a party chatting shit listening to tunes when everyones gone to bed haha

[@SpacenSpooks]

"Now look, no-one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle, do you understand?! EVEN, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say Jehovah!" 😅

[@JessicaZane4realz]

Try getting stoned with your stepdad. He will literally start saying how he really feels about you and how is wanted you for so long LOL

[@TrippaBiffa]

You should let him fulfil his desires, or I will

All these people making comments defending cows may have missed the point of the joke

[@markrichards1006]

Hi Russ, first off I am a big fan of yours not to the extend of being a stalker lol, anyway being scared of dying is natural but how I see it is death is going to happen whether we want it to or not, gandalf once said " death is but another path one we must all take" my point is death is inevitable it is going to happen I think of death quite often the family and friends that have died sorry I am just babbling, what I am trying to say is death is going to happen so enjoy this time we have as death is eternal once it happens it happens. Keep up the fine work you do to make people laugh and smile look forward to future content take it easy.

[@maryhurley5884]

I'm buying a hula hoop tomorrow. 😅

[@christophersmith5606]

One of the funniest comedians around making a joke about his mum getting stoned and the funny things that are said when stoned …..and there are fools on here defending cows and there emotional range…how to completely miss the point

[@TheBanana93]

They probably commented right away and didn't actually watch. i always think of the "ackchyually" meme lol

[@tiny99990]

For what it's worth Russell, you comedy has helped raised my spirits in many cases where I needed it, and even if it weren't in needed times, laughter is still always valuable... what you do matters, more than that what you do is recorded and will be watched again in the future, even after you are dead and gone you will still be making a positive impact on the world... ... Take Robin Williams for example, he was fucking hilarious I still love watching his interviews, or specials, or movies and they always make me laugh so fuckin hard, or in the case of some of his movies make me feel love, admiration, inspiration, sadness, even depression... ... he has been gone for 9 years now and you can be damned sure that his recorded legacy is still making a damned positive impact, what he did matters and will continue to matter so long as we are able to maintain those records and don't blow ourselves to the stone age... your legacy may not be as wide ranging or as widely impactful, but it will impact millions and dare I say Billions of people to come.
