The best of Hignfy series 38

Favorite moments from series 38. This was first broadcasted in the autumn of 2009

[@exessex3522]

The trouble with these is that many of the extracts make you want to watch the whole show. You could spend most of your life watching HIGNFY...

About 1 year. That's how long it took me to go through them all.

I watch them series by series on KZbin while I’m cooking. Perfect for the weekends 😊

That segment with Ian going off at Trafigura and Carter-Ruck was the best bit of television I have seen for a long time. Absolutely brilliant and perfect. I had to rewind and watch it about five times. Thanks str1tsa for all your sterling work!

[@375-Productions]

I think that's a thing Ian does every now and then, he'll rant out a full proper answer and History of the question, he doesn't do it all the time, but it's damn brilliant when he does, and he's always right, and he always gets the point!

[@normanprice8810]

That Martin Clunes episode is the most I’ve laughed in a while. The fish based puns and collider bits were hilarious. Paul was great

[@tumbles8350]

12:12: Ian Hislop: "There's probably a strike on now... and on repeat". Mans a clairvoyant.

[@25johnlowe]

Really enjoy Martin Clunes as the presenter on these, his laugh is very infectious

[@Ryattt81]

Incredible compilation, but for my miney the "been down the collider" section was the funniest...I was rolling.

[@sasaki_on_aoba]

Doesn’t matter how many times I watch this or how many years ago it was, it always makes me laugh! Beat way to spend a Sunday evening

[@philodactyl]

Reginald D Hunter is one of the funniest on here. I think it makes it funnier because he’s not British and therefore can comment with easier, dry and dissociated humour

HIGNFY and QI were my favourite programme until they leapt to the left and went all WOKE. Sandi replaced Stephen to attract the feminist bi-trans viewer.......because Stephen was not butch enough. #DefundTheBBC #ByeByeBBC

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Stop talking shite. Stephen chose to leave QI and he was replaced by Sandi because she's great. HIGNFY has been the same for ever, because it has been Paul and Ian for ever, it hasn't leapt anywhere. And defund the BBC? You do know how it's paid for and what your choice is there, right? Fucking moron.

[@Mike-gt7sk]

You do know that Stephen Fry is like massively gay? And you are aware that that's totally not the reason that Stephen Fry retired from the position? Also could it not be that you leapt to the right? Maybe you've just become more right wing and so are increasingly noticing the perceived left wing themes in these programs. Also some BBC productions do have relatively right wing themes, such as Bodyguard, which could be seen to encourage the use of the police and encourage harsher laws to prevent terrorism (RIPA-18). If you look in the right direction you can see what you want to. HIGNFY does also regularly criticize the left wing so I don't know what you're on about. Goodness me there are so many things wrong with this comment that I had to write an essay detailing them, and to be honest, I could go on.
