When you announce "I'm gonna do a joke you're not gonna like.." right after a bunny murder joke, you know it's time to buckle up.

[@kateoc8]

More of an anecdote really. But eww...

[@philippegauvin-vallee9371]

Wait, this was NOT the joke I was supposed to be appalled by.

[@pozleo78]

You literally just commented the same thing he said. Yawn.

[@blake3847]

“Suicide walrus” 😂😂😂

[@louiselincoln]

Oh my days, that bit about the rabbit...we came back from holiday once to find "Pasta", our beautiful little lop ear, flopping about all over his cage. We thought he'd had a stroke. So, Mum and Dad said, "I'm sorry, love, but we have to put him down." I was distraught. Crying my eyes out on the way to the vets. I didn't want to see him go so I waited in the car. 30 minutes later, Mum is walking out with this crate...turns out, he just had an ear infection so he'd lost his sense of balance. Nothing a few ear drops for a week couldn't fix. I was elated. We drove home and my Dad was out the front, looking very sombre, then very, very confused as he saw me bounce out the car looking so happy. He must have thought I was a psychopath. Turns out, whilst we'd been at the vets, he had DUG a GRAVE for Pasta and was preparing to do a little funeral for him! We had a good laugh about that. We then nicknamed him Lazarus. Dad never bothered filling in the hole, so we tucked him in there after another 4 happy rabbit years. Bless him. It was sad when he went, but I also couldn't stop a giggle, remembering the situation we had 4 years before. RIP Pasta (aka the Lazarus legend).

[@GoodJuju.8D]

Awwwww. 🤍

[@tkfaf15]

Thank you. I'm not sure why but I loved reading this.

[@MrAnton1502]

That made me laugh, as I could easily see this happening in my own family.

[@Fledhyris]

omg thank goodness they did the sensible thing and checked with a vet first! Was that mum's decision? ;) My dad didn't kill a rabbit in front of me, but one of the babies got stuck behind something and was squashed to death (they had full run of the garden). My dad put the pancaked rabbit in the bin, right at the top, so it was the first thing I saw when I went to take the rubbish out. Thanks, Dad...

[@InservioLetum]

Your dad is amazing!

[@Mikey-mo4xv]

I agree pal. One of the best comedians to walk this earth. I'd love to see him one day. The way he is with his mum has me in stitches every time, even the way he talks about her and his impressions of her, has me rolling on the floor crying with laughter every time without fail 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@xvioletgillx]

[@mihaelacomanescu]

He is addictive. His humour is smart AND deprived of meanness and vulgarity even when he's saucy or swears. He has character.

[@warren52nz]

I'm a Kiwi and Russell is dead right about Jacinda Ardern, she mothered New Zealand through COVID and we had a record low number of deaths. it was illegal to leave your house for anything other than essentials and exercise. And if your business was in trouble because of lockdown, you just went online, filled in a short form and the government put thousands of dollars into your bank account the next day, a gift not a loan. My wife is self employed and she did it twice. AND our taxes are about the same as the USA. THAT'S what a shot of Socialism looks like, Americans should try it one day!

[@magdahoekstra1694]

@@pedroRodriguesMD He's not, but even if he was, what of it? Do you really want to be like the people that criticize comedians for who they make fun of when it's their entire role to make fun of people?

[@shadow14805]

​​​​@@kaiser_suzi_He literally interviewed Bernie Sanders and had a serious, positive, leftist political discussion with him on TV. He is absolutely left-leaning to an extent, and I personally don't mind it at all. I also haven't seen any examples of him ragging as hard on the left as he does to the right. Which, to be fair, may be due to the fact that the left just hasn't done anything as entertaining as when the right got angry at the girl M&M no longer wearing high heals, or accusing Spongebob of pushing "climate change propaganda." There's just way more comedic value in it.

Mom's, stop giving the kids ideas lmao 🤣

[@IceMetalPunk]

Adults in many Southern US states: "Now, kids, do NOT have sex. Do NOT do these things that feel good, it's only for married couples. Do NOT enjoy yourselves, do NOT experience the most pleasure you'll ever have. And for God's Great Sake, whatever you do, do NOT ejaculate and get release from the pent-up sexual urges you're feeling!" Students in those states: "Mom, Dad... I'm pregnant."

To be fair it is pretty damn hot here in Florida and our people do have to be warned not to shoot at hurricanes....... Maybe warning the women here not to do the ice+V thing would be a good idea

[@Shebeast3]

😂👏

[@MelissaThompson432]

As with the warning label not to use your hair dryer under water: the warning exists because _somebody tried it._

I grew up in Florida, back when it was purple, and they needed a dose of Russell's mum telling them all the things not to do, even then. Florida Man is wilder now than he was in my day. 😳😱🐊

That wouldn't have been my house growing up. My mom cared, but she believed in learning by doing. My dad was big on forbidding things. He forbade me from listening to KISS (yes, I'm that old) because "they are Satanic music" even though he didn't believe in God.

[@Shebeast3]

oh wow

[@angelaburrow8114]

You've made me realise how lucky I am. My parents are religion, Roman Catholics. I was into punk & metal growing up, including black & death metal. They've never once told me off for listening to it. My Mum even likes some of the music I enjoy too, such as Marilyn Manson & Cradle of Filth. lol

[@jonasfermefors]

@@angelaburrow8114 Thankfully dad didn't really know what I did, so it wasn't all that bad. The TV said KISS was bad, so he told me not to listen to them, but I could have listened to KISS within earshot of him and he wouldn't have known it was them. I liked a lot harder music and he never had an issue with it.
