The best of Hignfy series 12

Favorite moments from series 12. This was first broadcasted in the autumn of 1996.

[@mattbatmattcat]

Angus was so good - he could hold his own against Ian and Paul while also being a good host.

[@colinstewart1432]

Merton and Hislop sing the Doonican Classics. Priceless stuff 👌

[@joantaylor7117]

Never one to comment...but urged by singular moments of belly laughs. This is of the more hilarious.🍁🍷

[@lmm2103]

The early ones really were the funniest now I look back.

[@HansoFoundo]

Thank you very much for these videos, I wish I could see the hidden videos in the playlist!

[@paulawagon6640]

I never wouldve espected the hear the 17th-centuey Puritan him "To Be a Pilgrim" on HIGNFY

[@RIXRADvidz]

Extra Loads of Good fun and karma for uploading all these Best Ofs. hopefully someday some other merciful soul will upload the entire programmes, I can dream can't I?? thx4urwork

[@HPRam]

All of the episodes used to be uploaded on Dailymotion, but I can't find them anymore. Still, massive massive props to @str1tsa for uploading these as I don't think they were in that collection on Dailymotion!

Those glasses makes Ian look like he's cosplaying Tom Clancy in the 80s.

[@ethzero]

Back in the days when episodes were recorded on wax cylinders ♥

'Don't take a photo of me now, I'm fuckin a horse...'

[@samandpoppythedog719]

The 90s when I would watch HIGNFY without fail, I think they should let Angus Deayton be a guest presenter on the next series.

[@davidhopkins8967]

Apparently he has been asked, but turned it down

[@mreckes9967]

I had forgotten how good this show used to be.

[@LoneKharnivore]

@Fur Q Funny how the literal rise of American fascism has affected people's sense of humour, isn't it? Satire is about mocking those in power, and currently Trump and Brexit-supporters are in power.

[@CDbiggen]

@@LoneKharnivore , I agree with you on the point of satire, but it's the whole misuse of words like "fascism" that is the problem unfortunately.

[@lmm2103]

@Fur Q if Trump and Brexit had happened back then it would be the same. They're very easy to make fun of. Trump has no redeeming features

[@user-hl7nt1og7k]

"No giant can him fright He'll with a lion fight And he will have a right To be a pilgrim"

[@thechazzler8934]

13:57 the best bit ever, they both act so childish it’s funny

[@10whiten99]

That 16 year old girlfriend joke has aged horribly 😂

[@mcarter9839]

Stringfellow the peado 🤢

[@owenfitzgerald8944]

Val Doonican 😃 You wouldn't get away with calling anyone a 'bonkers slapper' these day.

[@anonUK]

@David Montague Money and power.

[@LoneKharnivore]

@David Montague *toffee

[@colinstewart1432]

Val Hooligan 👍

[@TregMediaHD]

When was this. Hit record ?

[@TregMediaHD]

It might be I'm a bit tipsy .. but i love Paul and Ian .

[@matthazelby506]

Alright Angus, 🤔

[@vinnyreed723]

Ian looked like Hunter Thompson with those glasses

[@2Steppa2]

Paul never laughed at Angus's jokes.

[@jenchapman6807]

He rarely laughs at other comedians’ jokes, I’ve been infuriated by this for years! He’s much more likely to say something to derail or mock someone else’s jokes. Thanks for being the first to notice it too.

[@jacktorrance3522]

@@jenchapman6807 I like Paul but he does tend to want to have the last word and hog the spotlight to be fair.

[@callumbyrne3692]

There is something about Paul Merton swearing, I find weirdly hilarious and satisfying. Merton is hands down one of the best people in HIGNFY history.

[@RIXRADvidz]

Jennifer!!!

[@OneLifeTime.x]

13:04 Tutu Train....

[@GenericGooner]

That series Paul Merton wasn’t part of really reset the show, when Paul returned Ian was far more able to laugh at himself and has a better relationship with Paul.

[@slowmo9642]

Angus is smooth

[@anothertime1282]

'This was first broadcasted in the autumn of 1996.' - The word is 'broadcast', whch is both a verb and a noun.

[@IamDRPMD]

I think I found Des Lynam as Doctor Who a little too funny

[@luke-alex]

3:18 Noone got Ken's joke?

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" 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

6:45 Is that Jimmy Savile?

[@cooldude1547]

Angus is dirty should be locked up

[@regkane-Pluvis]

JUMPING FROM ONE SHOW TO ANOTHER. TOTAL RUBBISH

[@LoneKharnivore]

It says "best of" right there in the title.

[@marywood8794]

They have a ton of these best of HIGNFY from pretty much every series that you can find on KZbin. It's just supposed to be a compilation of really good jokes in each episode.

[@jenchapman6807]

You don’t understand KZbin

[@CanadaMatt]

It's a compilation of the best bits of an entire SERIES (season) you dolt.
