Thanks to 2020 I no longer question why they elected a cat. I'd vote for a cat.

[@victor.6800]

The videos are unavailable in some countries. I guess that's why.

[@Rogdog692002]

Sometimes there is too much public participation. His comedy is thoroughly silly entertainment. If you’re a 1950’s dad, you might find the content too raunchy, but there is hardly anything controversial. What is fascinating is that people feel the need to comment at all.... or think that their opinion might be of the slightest interest to anyone at all.

Spelling correctors, maybe the person is used to writing in Cyrillic, and English isn't his first language? Try learning Russian and spelling words in an unfamiliar alphabet. Or just stop being unnecessarily twats.

[@lynngiesbrecht910]

Pet psychic?!?!?!?!?!?!? Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@Rogdog692002]

Lynn Giesbrecht I just paid a bill for a ‘horse whisperer ‘ that my wife hired for my daughter’s horse. This is exactly what she did. Honestly, she was great at reading a horses behavior.... but she dressed it up with a lot of nonsense. I think it is a little like people psychics, able to read people and make great guesses... but with the added benefit that you can’t prove them wrong. My wife was impressed.

[@SemperFI6513]

Why does russel keep shaking hands with his left hand? It looks so awkward.

[@lbadaineh]

He mentioned in an interview with Jonathan Ross that he had to have 2 operations on his infected thumb.

[@SemperFI6513]

Lara Badaineh aaahhh so that's why. Thank you for the answer!

[@lauradolan9783]

Didn't he also break his right hand doing push ups on a breakable stool? Might have nothing to do with it tho.

[@lbadaineh]

Laura Dolan I think that happened in series 5, and you're right it had nothing to do with this one

[@lauradolan9783]

Lara Badaineh Oh yeah, of course sorry! I've been binge watching these series but completely out of order. It's all completely muddled up in my mind at this stage! 😂

[@fishpop]

Wow, used to watch this show like a decade ago. Glad to know it's uploaded officially and completely, series 1-10 ^_^ EDIT: Wikipedia says the show had 96 episodes total. Kinda annoying that it's just shy of 100 X3

[@oliverfisher5532]

I love the fact that Mae said that they felt like it was the end of the world in 2017, two years on a disease began to emerge from Wuhan and then became a global crisis, next all economies became unstable and will take years to recover fully. Now the Ukraine tragedy. Whilst it feels like Mae may have been right, it does feel like the "end of the world" has brought people closer together than before.

[@homohawk]

This was filmed in 2012. It was uploaded to YT in 2017.

[@mfdinak]

To be fair, as a person who has lived just a few miles of road from Talkeetna, Alaska for 30+ years where Stubbs the cat is the mayor, If you look at other state representatives like Sarah Palin, you would vote for a cat too.

[@isabellaangeline2175]

I love Mae. Definitely gonna look up more of her stuff. 11:00 Here in the states you can be given a huge fine or even jailed for abusing emergency services, and rightfully so.

[@mannmctrash]

That happens in the UK too, but if someone actually has an injury, even if it's really minor, the emergency services have to treat it at least semi-seriously.
