[@samhenri7350]

I just realised, only in the U.K could you a find a whole TV show dedicated to people complaining. XD

[@danm3503]

Mate, like half of what's on TV is people complaining.

[@dondiddy7529]

we get it all out in the open rather than let it build up and end up killing people haha

[@paladinboyd1228]

Sam Henri, Welcome to Britain its rains everyday and our glory days are in the past, please enjoy your stay.

[@Cashback13]

The average Brit complains about something 4 times a day. It's our national pastime.

[@Katya_Lastochka]

Paladin Boyd But there are so many good things to look forward to. Our self esteem comes from the good we do as individuals, not what our countrymen achieved. Imagine a world without borders, with one language, and where everyone holds personal accountability.

[@robynd2266]

Twelve year old Russell looks like Harry and Draco's bloody lovechild

[@tornadotaylor8956]

-shoto todoroki

[@stuthhamster]

he looks like draco crossed with harry pottter

[@petewentzthegerardway6850]

Now that I have read this I see it

[@madgameralexthegreat]

The guy that played Draco actually auditioned for the role of Harry Potter , and now that you've said that it just makes it quite a lot more stranger to think about

[@charlimclachlan7185]

+WhiteWizardAlex Tom Felton did audition for Ron Weasley And Harry Potter but he got Draco Malfoy

[@guccitae8416]

Stuart James omg yes! How have I never thought of this?

[@ameliah2384]

Stuart James it's scorpius malfoy...

[@abbiemcpartland1968]

It's ironic that 'wagamama' in Japanese means 'spoilt/selfish'

[@joj5150]

Abbie McPartland that's not what irony means

[@LaytonMathieson]

m y s t i k Irony is when a water park burns down or a tow truck breaks down.

[@bozokdraafiii9614]

it's a black fly in your chardonnay it's a death row pardon two minutes too late

[@bozokdraafiii9614]

S͉͌h̗̓̀e͜rr͆͢i͊͝ṉ̒fǫ̮r͂d̨̜ Hól̬m̛èś that's not in the song

[@benWTL]

Omg

[@michelledabenett9358]

true about the recorder XD XD love it, 3 blind mice and hot cross buns for years XD

[@DowzerWTP72]

Michelle Dabenett Can't play a single other instrument, but you give me a recorder; uh oh.

[@Lucy17x]

Playing an Egyptian sounding tune made you seem badass back then too !

[@itz_ya_boi_barry_scott4783]

I'm 14 and even I have to say this is soooooo tucking true

[@rockacraig5653]

+JAILBATE78 There's hope after all.

[@dylancotton2061]

Yeah it is

[@connor9568]

I'm 13 and a half and, I think it's true.

[@Thisath100]

fucking*

[@itz_ya_boi_barry_scott4783]

Its auto correct

[@Ella-kf3wn]

I'm 14 and I hate to admit it but everything he said was true especially the wagamma part 😂😐😅😁

[@luckyduck8402]

Must say Russell's eyebrows are on point when he was little

[@Lab-Gr0wn-Lambs]

We had a few minutes left at the end of one of my science lessons at school so the teacher was like "Hey, wanna see what happens when you set fire to angel delight?" The flames went so high it burnt the ceiling. And half the class was like "yeah! burn it! i hate angel delight!". How the hell can anybody hate angel delight?

[@Widdekuu91]

+Catie They're frustrated because they do not find any satisfaction in online gaming and social media and that is what they're taught to like. They never fully experienced being carefree and build a treehouse or a sandcastle, because mom was there to post it on FB and tell her how many likes it got. They're missing something essential (human contact, real social situations, a carefree youth and a pressure-free-environment without judgemental people) and they don't know where to find it, so they get angry and frustrated and take it out on everything around them.

[@tongieboi]

That was not a science lesson, that was a satanic ritual

[@zachtaylor243]

Angel delight is the shit

[@RobRandomVids]

But...but it's made of *DEAD ANGELS*

[@Dan89201]

GAMERS UNITE even better

[@diamonddestiny8573]

he has a very funny family though 😂😂

[@alexlee4154]

especially his mum

[@aliyounas1667]

The 'O' in the BBC One is directly in the middle of the screen

[@manicstreet.kasabian3332]

I'd love to have grown up on the 80s, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WOULD WANT THAT.

[@gillward6139]

It was great

[@phoebestorm9767]

All the jokes he used in this are in his show

[@lanaed6173]

So? he's a comedian..

[@burnzee05-75]

+A.E.D. 1998 chill out she only stated a fact

[@garethsquires5596]

Most comedians use same material a good few times. The only times when they don't really do it is when they interact with the audience. It's normal.

[@alyssamai3519]

Russell Howard is so funny can't contain it 😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[@dommannion8534]

the picture of russell when he was a child XD

[@oliviatinsley85]

"You’re a wizard, Ha-Russell."

[@user-ym7jx2fo6v]

Russel: I would have thought you were a wizard Sky: Write that down, write that down

[@OfficialDuckox]

I like Russell Howard but he uses the same jokes sooooo often

[@gracedavies4024]

Duckox he's a comedian. A lot of comedians do. If it's funny material and it entertains people then they have every right to use it

[@spacebeam6480]

Duckox NOOT NOOT!

[@moonwalker4696]

i know right i love the guy and i watched all his stuff from youtube and dvds when i heard he was on a tour i saved up and went to watch him. Had to take the bus for 5 hours then slept in the train station cause the next one was 6 am the next morning and turned out i knew all the jokes kind of disappointed.. i thought because it was a tour then maybe there's a new dvd and new material still my favourite comedians but that night was overall shitty

[@octopus9454]

Yeah the recorder one

[@clothilde1623]

Obviously comedians have to utilise their material and repeat jokes; that’s a given and all comedians do it. But I have heard that bloody recorder joke more times than I’ve heard my own ringtone. He really does have to change it up a bit more often.

[@emblackett_x]

I'm 13 and I find this completely true because I grew up in an extremely rural village, but i go to a secondary school in the city and they lived completely different lives from me. I was also told when I was younger that Angel Delight was made from dead angels...

[@elizalamport135]

I love Russell Howard 💞💞

[@pxraas_mm]

i got sent a link from my english teacher to see this, one of the best yet 😭😭

[@cheeseman7530]

My science teach had a game when he was young where you'd ask a little kid what were the name of the towers that carried electricity and they would say pylon and the. You'd pile on top of them

[@jdawn1982]

I'm so in love with Russell

[@picklemaster802]

His kid voice is pure gold haha "salad bar"

[@amberlinajupiter8952]

Tiny Russel is soooooo cute 😂 xx

[@christie3361]

This is why I love living in and being from the UK it is because of people like Russell and shows about complaining.

[@VMilky-dt6kr]

do kids not have to learn recorder anymore? I'm 17 and I had to

[@simonecastro6007]

Victoria my daughter did for a a term in the year, then the nextvyear, a term of uke then African drumming, I think some classes dud violin or p-bone

[@britishtomlad3679]

@victoria no im 14 and it's either guitar or drums

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

When he did the whining tubby kid I thought of Cartman from South Park lol, even sounded like him!

[@MythicSuns]

I'm with Russell on this, I remember when eating something as simple as Ambrosia custard (a.k.a one of the poshest sounding things that isn't posh at all) was like eating a little peace of heaven, it was bloody amazing (or at least it was for me). It also feels like kids standards have slipped a bit if they genuinely think Swegways (the famously misnamed "hoverboard") are worth owning. Don't get me wrong, I wasted money on moon shoes but at least they were sold as something awesome (I can jump higher than I could ever jump before!); what's awesome about leaning forwards and moving at a walking pace? When a cheap £10 to £20 scooter or skateboard can move faster than a £100 to £200 swegway (especially downhill) and is agile enough to perform tricks you can damn well bet that as a kid I would've gone for the scooter or skateboard. Shit, in secondary school I owned Heelys; now _those_ are definitely better value than a swegway....at least until you use them in the mud but at least they're washable.

[@bowmaj8666]

I truly think that the only reason that Swegways are popular among kids these days is because they can go out and get some fresh air whilst eating a giant pack of Doritos without getting any exercise that they so desperately need!

[@crazy-fangirl1013]

😂😂😂👏👏Dead Angels

[@Kumahachi8]

When I was little, my dad used to tell me that there was a fairy in every fairy cake bun. I would take these massive bites to see if I could catch sight of the fairy inside the bun, and then when I couldn't find it, I'd just eat it, thinking that the fairy was still inside. I was a horrible 2-3 year old. XD

[@jacetaneneko_vt]

It’s ironic how this BBC show came from the Room 101 in 1984, which was inspired by a BBC conference room.

[@Raven-ep7ub]

1:28 Harry your a wizard!

[@frankfurhter]

You're a wizard, Princey.

[@rcm926]

I hate it when adults complain about kids today being grumpy all the time when they shouldn't be because they have better technology and stuff than when they were kids themselves. There's a connection between having too much free access to luxuries and being a miserable shit - kids today are addicted to so much stuff from an early age and no one even notices, they just complain that they play video games too much, eat too much food, spend too much time on phones, and so on. It's no wonder that kids act the way they do.

[@estebancomulet]

Angel Delight - amazing! Do you remember that other chocolate sauce that you would squirt over ice cream as a chocolate liquid and then after a few minutes it had hardened! What was that....that was amazing too. Wonder why they don't make it anymore! Can you get angel delight still as well?

[@cryingeyebrows2773]

12 year old Russel has amazing eyebrows

[@McSuperfly101]

1:08 - That's a look that says _”I_ was on TV in the 80's..."

[@leyla7309]

Omg I went to this show😳😂

[@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058]

He looks like a bad stunt double for Harry Potter as a kid 😂😂

[@octopus9454]

He's very right

[@Jamesgoat-dragonslayer]

mate we still have to play the fucking Recorder

[@Sara-jo1wm]

puberty went well for him

[@carlfrederickson4672]

People still do ‘pileups’ except it’s called stacks on, at least where live

[@raphaelchagas1676]

I love how KZbin caption subtitles understand absolutely nothing when it's british accent lol

[@florenzameldrum7329]

Angel delight made me hyper so my dad told me it was the clumsy angels that fell of a cloud

[@abbiejayne2882]

we still have the recorder thing in primary schools

[@benjaminmould5414]

You're a wizard russel

[@mynameajames2392]

Ur a wizard Harry

[@tammydilley7262]

Russell u look like harry potter lol

[@kflem80]

I'm around the same age as Russell and its true about the TV being awash with offenders in the 80s

[@fFnWHITFIELD]

My year was the only year that didn't play the recorder

[@ameliah2384]

Thomas Whitfield I had to teach my whole year because I play flute and the finger patterns are the same so I became the resident music teacher...

[@chrishanlon02]

I had to learn the recorder In 2013

[@dm7626]

I heard the Wagamama thing in 2 videos in a row 😂

[@charliegilbert3495]

1:36 Harry Potter and hitler mixed

[@becaallan2875]

[@ahsandar3522]

1:41 he looks like a crossover between Harry Potter and Malfoy... ngl...

[@qball3282]

0:45 what did he just say !

[@joesmith79]

Angel delights is the best

[@judeirwin2222]

If kids ask for a Cornetto and get a little box of raisins, their parents are daft. Dried fruit of any kind is loaded with sugar - more than a Cornetto!

[@babydolltee6321]

Who else came for the ripped jeans in the thumbnail?

[@GeoManif1996]

[@ingafatyga1472]

Tesco F&F brand

[@graceclifton5282]

12 year old Russel has 👌👌👌eyebrows 😯

[@daviddowsett1658]

That was 7 years ago, it's only just got worse, now you have a thing called TickTock

[@dsmn_teh_catbug9997]

12 year old russ looks like Gareth from the office.

[@Charlie-ou9tg]

I've just realised (after hours of watching Russel Howard) he makes the same jokes over and over....the recorder thing is mentioned a lot

[@royfr8136]

We have a picture of you... Oh really (Yes, you know the one you brought it to specifically show us)

[@sarahjane20400]

We still play pile on

[@maisieshepherd8695]

Russell you still have to play the recorder in primary

[@MichaelMizuhara]

Anyone know what kind of shoes he's wearing?

[@kingsleyc5677]

I’m 14 and I still had to play the recorder at school. Worst.thing.ever

[@jesuischarles8217]

Lol

[@janetallnutt5767]

Did you know that when I tried to post a link to this video on FB, they refused it because it "violated community standards" ? FYI, four days previously I had reported the post of a well-known Republican member of the American House of Representatives for advocating prison camps and mass deportations, and was overruled by FB...

[@theaether3124]

Dog piles or bundles were the shit!

[@michelledabenett9358]

I still do pile ons with my friends, is that weird? XD

[@Yorkshiriann]

Michelle Dabenett I did pile ons with my ex when I was dating her

[@thepoopenator7341]

I always used to like the rubbish models they had to accompany people's pitches...

[@amin9245]

He's made that recorder joke so many times

[@TheLukey27]

Tbf I would be grumpy too, after seeing one of his stand-up shows.

[@xachhill3655]

It's a power that you add milk to to make some sort of moose thing, they have strawberry, chocolate, banana and butterscotch flavour

[@clintosss]

+Eve Tupman and it tastes like heaven

[@tregast8763]

Imagine moose Arctic roll

[@connor9568]

+NO. True

[@firewizzard86]

I don't think he is a comedian, more like a story teller. Very polite of them to laugh.

[@michelledabenett9358]

he's brilliant, favourite comedian

[@firewizzard86]

+Michelle Dabenett Why he is cross-eyed liberal fool.

[@firewizzard86]

+Michelle Dabenett Frank skinner is much funnier.

[@michelledabenett9358]

wow because your obviously hilarious

[@firewizzard86]

+Michelle Dabenett I wasn't trying to be, he is cross-eyed looking it's a fact.

[@estebancomulet]

Few comedians are as annoying as Russell. He is now by far the most egregious Russell.

[@funkyrugmuncher2890]

I'm sorry but is head getting bigger the more I watch this

[@harrymcgugan]

Good to see u reused ur jokes Russel

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Young Russell totally looks like a gender-flipped Agatha Clay.
