Ahh 2009, when everything was OK, hardly anyone in the UK was starving, the NHS was functional, schools were state-owned and the social safety net was still intact. Remember those wonderful days? When we had a semi-functional government who didn't want to cull the poor, the sick, the disabled and the elderly? What a difference a decade makes.

[@luxwolf8858]

Agreed. The Tories are the worst thing to happen to the UK in centuries.

[@stealth5310]

Semi functional? The world was a mess after the recession what are you talking about 😂

[@bigboredthing]

@@stealth5310 Because it's all sunshine and fucking rainbows right now, isn't it? SO much better than in 2009, when most of us could afford to eat and weren't trying not to freeze to death in our homes.

[@davidleadbeater7384]

6:51 pretty sure you can hear Russell giggle in the background XD

[@penis12327]

[@michaelharrison3602]

Sprouts are the most vile thing on this planet they are the devil's bogies I would rather go on I'm a celebrity and eat dingo's bollocks stewed in wombat snot

[@solofdragons6446]

Pigs in blankets in Canada are sausages wrapped in dough, and honestly the British version looks waaaaaaay better

[@crabsy6452]

@James "jim" bell its pastry but they are similar

[@callummacsmith8958]

what you mean

[@michaelharrison3602]

Sausages wrapped in dough aren't they called sausage rolls

[@aprildawnsunshine4326]

@13:30 The best part: doing all that to those toys actually exposed him more than playing with them would to the carcinogens.

[@Shinx990]

Shows you how long ago this was. Gordon Brown!? That's a name I haven't heard in years.

[@boygirl]

2009 omg this is so old

[@dannystavs2003]

[@liizs2863]

I have three of those hamsters and sometimes plotted to steal more from my friends. They're collectibles!

[@pandorica4722]

I had one of those robot hamsters and it was funny for about 3 days.

[@prosperity3633]

The irony of the name.. Neil aha something he has to do through doorways

[@coralreeves4276]

Great editing on the highlights part. Ahh I miss those days.

[@Rainbowofthefallen]

Just Commenting for the algorithm 🧡

[@dawsonedge7333]

[@XxEmoBitexX]

[@LordAaronus]

3:18 dunno why but I expected him to build an arc reactor and an iron man suit

[@ebbhead20]

So, is there only 9 episodes per season ? Feels like ages ago season 9 ended. :(

[@Shinx990]

I miss that food porn advert. The sticky toffee pudding one in particular. Yum!

[@santiagoperez5431]

Pigs in a blanket in America are sausages wrapped in pancakes

[@sammijean77]

In the south they are hot dogs wrapped in biscuits.

[@santiagoperez5431]

that sounds really good

[@sammijean77]

My mom used to make them for me when I was little as a treat. If she was feeling especially nice she would add a piece of cheese with the hot dog :)

[@santiagoperez5431]

that sounds cool!!!

[@wintercaptain]

HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER ZUZU PETS

[@Amber-md8ut]

Turns out the mystery guest Neil actually died in 2017, aged 37. RIP :(

[@tailssonicteam1604]

Wait what? How?

[@badateverything5392]

@@tailssonicteam1604 He was 36. His cause of death is listed as heart failure. It is incredibly sad, as heart problems are common in people over 6' and being over 7' would mean that his heart would have been under a lot of strain. :( He seemed like such a solid guy. Here is his wiki, so people can learn more about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Fingleton

[@lisaw4864]

In bought the paedophile mouse for my grandad as a Christmas present. O.O

[@mocurio]

I love your show so far. Who is the woman that waves to you during the intro?

[@jessearp4520]

Emmanuel U Sarah Palin

I don't know who that is, but it's not Sarah Palin.

Wow, that is a real Giant. I bet he could knock out a horse. Just doesn't want to confirm on Telly

[@lewishancock3526]

What's the song that plays in the Religion title card?

[@lewishancock3526]

Does anyone know? I can't seem to find it.

[@mildamylidomo]

i actually enjoy sprouts very much

[@richardcarter4148]

Russell just so you are aware in America we also have what we call pigs in a blanket but they are little sausages wrapped in yeast rolls. But now I want to do a British/American fusion dish of the American version wrapped in bacon

[@mattiasbarnett3777]

Sprouts are yummy

[@chikitabowow]

@ 23:30 Everyday for breakfast he eats a bucket of cornflakes and two watermelons... When he's on a diet.

[@feralbluee]

HELP!!! i can’t stop watching Russell and i hate raunchy humor. it’s boring. but i love watching Russell. he’s freaking funny!! so HELP!!!!!!

El duderino not really, it's just a technique, so that people from different places from around the world can enjoy the show and they won't have to lose any rating points.

[@Zelcosco17]

In more debt than all of the other presidents

[@theangryholmesian4556]

Actually that's incorrect. Harry S. Truman and F.D.R. hold the record for most public debt. And historically speaking Republicans have increased the debt while Democrats have reduced it. So you're a fucking idiot and that took me two fucking seconds to Google you Fox News brainswashed racist idiot.
