The best of Hignfy series 57

[@bartcouprie4986]

The line 'This menopause is not going to waste' is fantastic, even better without context!

[@AlexanderPacker]

"L'Oreal?" "Because God's worth it." is one of the greatest tag-team line deliveries I've ever experienced.

[@petertaylor4980]

In response to Josh Widdicombe's comment about hair, Saul was chosen as king because he stood head and shoulders above everyone else.

330pm Denver Time : a hideous day of errands before the next Lockdown begins at midnight tonight. exhausted, surprised I arrived home in one piece, I gotta catch my breath and I >>GASP

[@k.a.u.4599]

Nearly got a job in Denver last month but it fell through, honestly relieved now! I'm living in Larimer County and working part time in Boulder County, don't need another county's worth of germs in my life during this CO surge! Hope you're staying safe my friend

47:43 A few years back, two American tourists 'doing Europe' asked for train tickets to Venice at Stockholm Central Station. The ticket-seller heard this as Vännäs, a small town in the north of Sweden. In Swedish, Venice is 'Venedig'. If you have a Scandinavian or German near by, he/she will tell you what Vännäs sounds like. Anyway, you can quite imagine that an American saying Venice might be heard as Vännäs by a Swede. The couple ended up in northern Sweden not far from the Arctic Circle instead of in the Queen of the Adriatic and their story made the papers.

[@SkyWidows]

Oh my god!!! Poor bastards, that is one of the main reasons I've been too nervous my whole life to travel to non-english speaking countries.

[@RIXRADvidz]

my partner ran afoul of the exchange rate, euros to dollars, he went nuts in a Finnish design shoppe because, he thought he was saving a 1/3 over the euro, back home the credit card bill was almost twice what he thought he spent. I wasn't going to argue, he needs to learn.

The female guest from approx 24:40. Brilliant on Peep Show and an appearance on Toast of London.

[@willemgroenewegen5934]

Thanks for uploading! Why was that one guest on Ian's team blocked out? (33:30)

[@Dogmassa]

they pulled the epsidoe or something than the next week guest Rhod Gilber started about the last week episode and they showed the blacked out guest as joke.

[@Dogmassa]

The missing episode which was pulled by the BBC in May for fear of falling foul of its pre-European election rules.

[@warbler1984]

The black square knows all

[@hesky10]

They eventually showed the dropped episode once the rest of the series had ended and the European elections were over

[@CrysJaL]

Paul does this a fewtimes, by repeatingly joking or bringing up a reference to it he forces the producers to put it in the edit, like Jo Brand's joke about the Duke of Edinburgh.

[@BumMcFluff]

Repeats a lot of his 'jokes' in many episodes, including the 'working her/him with your/my foot", explaining the joke to the audience, doing a spit take with a glass of water, and reading off the autocue to disrupt the host, particularly with Alexander Armstrong. And he has the worst poker face I've ever seen on a panel show. If he doesn't like someone, we are left in no uncertainty about it, especially noticeable during the Angus Deakin days..

[@garethwilkins6744]

As someone who lives in Gloucester. A bent pole is big news here.

[@soloperformer5598]

Is a "bent pole" a criminal from Poland?

[@roberthaworth8991]

FUN FACT: When in 1971 Groucho Marx was asked what his brother Chico, with whom he'd performed for many years, would be most remembered for, Groucho thought a few seconds and then replied, "Well, many people will remember Chico as the fellow who brought gonorrhea to the Vaudeville circuit."

As funny as those Aussies with fish were they were one of few channels to actual report on a national disaster, national government corruption and mismanagement, and the complete decimation of a nation water system.

[@stevie-ray2020]

I only look at the ABC's new & programs, as the ultra conservative Murdoch Press absolutely dominate the media here in Australia with their right-wing views! Although the Fairfax Media Company aren't quite as right-wing, I still only trust the ABC & the SBS networks for their independent & unbiased reporting!

Who is the censored guest in 33:33?

[@Channel-ij5px]

It was Heidi allen mp, she was censored after release due to an election taking place

[@priv.tlsn07]

Heidi allen at the time she was running running for the european elections. her opinions were classified as biased during the election period so the bbc censored it during that time, if you go back now on bbc iplayer you can watch it without it being censored

[@jacobparry177]

Who was censored at around 33:50?

[@Maz-zb9uf]

What is the name of that lady

[@DragonwithaGirlTattoo]

[@timowagner1329]

45:00 Victoria Coren Mitchell is a fascinating woman. I 100% believe she could quote 50% of the book just because she has photographic memory or something.

Amazing that DD has got away with it for so long after all those other BBC stalwarts have been caught.

[@BumMcFluff]

Got away with what? There have been quite a few different scandals over the years.

Ian’s really sorry if we got Johnson as Prime Minister. We’re all sorry, Ian. If not for him, we would still be in the EU. He’s like the pied piper, leading the deluded rats.

That episode was pulled because Heidi Allen was running in the European elections. That censored bit was because her opinion was considered unfair representation during election period.

[@patriciaitalia]

@@UnaccountedFour Thanks. I couldn't remember that when I watched this in 2024.

So that's how you phrase "cor blimey".

Yes. It's a Cockney corruption (elision) of the imprecatory phrase, "May God blind me".

[@tysons9222]

[@FTZPLTC]

I think Ian's genuinely annoyed at this idea that HIGNFY is somehow to blame for Boris Johnson's career; and I would be too. As if he somehow came across as competent leadership material on there.

[@pseudonayme7717]

It made him palatable to so many more people than he reached though his columns in awful papers. I don't blame Ian though, he's not the creator of the show.

The first moderator seems a strange choice for moderator. He doesn't get how panel shows nor humor works. To the point that he is actively disruptive to the process and has a borderline adversarial relationship with the panelists.

He use to do BBC question time so that's kinda his bit

[@Kate-lk6tw]

Humour works in many ways, not exclusively as you claim.

Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoCyZZ-oicifhLs
