(Mostly) All Red Dwarf Space Corps Directives and Health & Safety Protocols

[@rosePetrichor]

I think my favourite part of these jokes is how the directive Rimmer quotes is always quite close in number to the actual one he wants to quote, yet contains ENTIRELY different things. Why are the rules about prisoners of war right next to the rules about parking for the delegation?

[@MrJay_White]

"add it to the list"

[@johnrussellpelt9091]

It would make more sense if Rimmer just got the numbers arranged wrong.

[@hughcaldwell1034]

Right? Also, comparing some from different scenes, we get 596 about the crew's files being for the captain's eyes only sitting between 595 and 597, which are both about quarantine.

Bureaucracy is rubbish is what.

[@AlrightThere]

Thats what makes it funny

[@jaysmith2858]

That "No chance you metal b-stard" 'Rimmer directive' always makes me laugh. 😂

[@spacedoutgame]

Definitely my favourite too!

[@djhuckfield]

I love that all Rimmer's endless space corps directive quoting in later series stems back to Kryten's one foolish decision to give him a copy of the manual

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

Exactly. Kryten has no-one to blame but himself.

[@phildane7411]

It's impressive that space corps directives always 'clearly state'. I would love: "Space corps directive 31415 ambiguously suggests".

[@aoxby8037]

What's even funnier is, when you realise there was a chain of events that lead to directives like 1742. To be implemented.

[@UniversalChallenge4454]

What about 34124 or 68250

[@jackhemsworth7515]

No officer with false teeth should engage in oral sex in zero gravity. How many times did this have to be done to update the rulebook. Same with the dislike of ginger toupee's

[@teambammotorsport7249]

best quote "are you sure you want to go to red alert it does mean changing the bulb"

[@Ron-d2s]

Mine has always been 'SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE' ends an argument real quick.

[@mashpolson1]

"34124: No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity" XD

[@davidwuhrer6704]

The operative word being "attempt".

[@thekitchencounterauthor]

[@jeffl.9633]

*Space Corps Directive 003:* "By joining Star Corps each individual tacitly consents to give up his inalienable rights to life, liberty and adequate toilet facilities." (Presumably the name of the service changed after this directive was established without the directive being updated.) Edit: *Space Corps Directive 349:* "Any officer found to have been slaughtered and replaced by a shape-changing chameleonic life form shall forfeit all pension rights" The directives I've quoted above come from the _Red Dwarf Log No. 1996_

[@ThePathStrider]

I want more Rimmer Directives.

[@burri06]

Me too. Although “No chance you metal bastard” is surprisingly useful in day to day life

[@jonathanmyers2867]

Rimmer: Kryten, you're forgetting about Space Corp Directive 1742. Kryten: 1742? No member of the Corp should report for duty in a ginger toupee.

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

Yeah, what the hell prompted that one?

[@McRocket]

5:23 - I like this one best. Thank you, very much for compiling this. ☮

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Me too.

[@listerofsmeg884]

The one after for me 🤣

[@karenwhitehead2260]

I've been a dwarfer since the beginning, episode 1"THE END" I should know these directives off by heart.. But I still love rimmers versions of the red dwarf directives👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Lord_Skeptic]

Space corp directive 8128: during football season crew members will be placed by what team they support. Here we are in mortal danger and you want to put Lister somewhere else for supporting Liverpool.

[@ETH5626]

RIMMER: Kryten what about 7214? KRYTEN: 7214? 'To preserve morale during long-haul missions, all-male officers above the rank of First Technician must, during panto season, be ready to put on a dress and a pair of false breasts.' Is that really necessary? I mean here we are in mortal danger and you want to be a cross-dresser?

[@chrisbetancourt7111]

5:30 I swear to God after he says this kryten and rimmer's actors are trying so hard not to laugh

[@NebLleb]

"I have no intention of catching the hologrammatic equivalent of foaming dog fever." Arnold Rimmer, 1992

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

Unfortunately, by the time he had said that it was waaaay too late.

[@stonedwookie9916]

i wish grant and naylor would team up again rd was so much better when they were both writing

[@Theo-qo7ov]

Gotta try and understand them all lol

[@dwaugh2215]

Thanks for this video! It was so hilarious and perhaps we be reminded of space Corp directive 554

[@spacedoutgame]

Space Corps Directive 554.. ah, yes. Crew members who engage in sumo wrestling should dispose of their jock straps in the nearest black hole

[@mrcritical6751]

@@spacedoutgame an adequate rule sirs but I don’t see how it can help us in our current predicament

[@jwb52z9]

I've seen all of these except for the one wth the female hologram telling Rimmer his files will be erased and his hard drive destroyed by nuclear fission. That must be one of the years that hasn't aired in the US yet.

[@spacedoutgame]

That's from the 2009 special 'Back To Earth'.. to be honest, it's not their best.. S10-12 are genuinely great though!

[@ChrisCaaa]

​@@spacedoutgameI kinda liked that one, a little tongue in cheek, but references one of my favourite films

[@GoranNewsum]

I bet Lister has sniffed that bicycle saddle

[@travissmith2848]

Ah, but he likely wasn't an _officer_ at the time, just enlisted.

[@EditedAF987]

Lister may be cheeky, but he isn’t THAT perverted.

4.27 , I guess after being stuck in that room for 5 Days those 3 guys forget that the virus that got them sent there in the 1st place was Holo-virus in other word a virus/disease for Holograms ,so how would they have it to start with when those 3 guy are not Holograms?

[@brendan722002]

No wearing ginger toupees when reporting for duty.

[@mibeatleman6767]

I love that running gag. 😂 ❤

The numbers alone make me laugh. Constant, constant numbers.

5:28 - The funniest Space Corps directive.

[@FrankStrickland-t7t]

Where can I find a copy of that book of Space Corp directives?

[@MrMr-fo8st]

I could just do with a sugar puff sandwich.

[@marksmith9991]

What episode is the scene from, at timestamp 6.24, please

[@tomclifford702]

We get 595, 596, and 597. Totally unrelated.

[@koningbolo4700]

Smegging awesome...

[@sheldondean7949]

😆😆😆I love this show

[@Karagianis]

I'm not sure you should count anything to do with Queeg, Given what Queeg actually was (spoilers) Holly pranking the crew to get them to stop complaining.

[@astonrichardson5288]

Jape of the century

[@Lord_Skeptic]

What about space corp directive 802701

[@Diablo_Himself]

I thought this was ONLY Space Corp Directives...? Rimmer should know ALL Space Corps Directives as he wants promotion...

[@Nick_C1997]

I wonder how many directives there are? Also, what happened that caused the existence of some of these more specific ones, like the Ginger Toupee

[@spacedoutgame]

Between that and sniffing the gym saddle seat, almost seems like a personal attack on someone!

[@kkrispy2009P]

Miss the gang

[@BHALT0S]

if at 4:04 kryten doesnt have a lady pleaser, how come in earlier episode he produces for Lister a double polaroid?

[@michaelnahum6782]

Was that big suze playing the female hologram

[@spacedoutgame]

It was! Believe Back To Earth was filmed shortly before she married into the royal family!

[@krizan1]

5:22 The one space corps directive I memorised. 🤣

[@krizan1]

2:25 🤣

[@Lord_Skeptic]

Space corp directive 381286. Kryten shut up.

[@matthewevans97]

What is Space Corp Directive 595?

[@contentwithlowquality4594]

I'm wondering what directives 0 and 1 are

[@ProperDaveXD001]

Lister: Are we forgetting general order 0? Kryten: I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that one sir. L: Don't be a smeghead. K: A masterly summation of the entire JMC Space Corp directive manual if I may say so sir. But since it isn't in any of the official documentation, I'm afraid it isn't of any assistance presently.

[@VideoHeadMan]

Did they lose the rights to space court directive? Why is it protocol?

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

I know this is comedy, but put that aside for a second. My question is: Why do some of these rules exist in the first place? Sniffing the saddle in the women's gym? The Chinese delegates only allowed one car? WTF? These things are hardly a health and safety hazard are they?

[@listerofsmeg884]

The one at 4:00 kind of predicted the future 😅

[@nathanstagg4566]

Which episode is this!? 6:30

[@burri06]

That’ll be Back To Earth! So.. I guess technically S9E1?
