The Playground Politics Kids Share If They Think Aliens Are Real | The Russell Howard Hour

[@CMenzy]

I will say it a million times over playground politics needs it's own TV show I wish I was young and have the imagination and unknown comic genius these kids have

[@yetanotherperson6436]

These children are so intelligent and creative. I hope that they can maintain that into adulthood.

[@boondocksdragon8959]

It's been my observation as an elementary teacher that most children are intelligent and creative like this. I believe it's the adults in their lives and the amount of real-world stress and anxiety they come into contact with that causes that to degrade over time for many kids. I agree with you in hoping they're able to maintain their imaginative selves through these school years. 💚 In hindsight, I think that childlike wonder is something that Russell has managed to hold on to, and it makes him a joy to watch.

[@rusty5078]

So intelligent they think an alien would look like the typical green big headed little nosed thing they see on tv. Chances are, we are the aliens we think of. We just evolve into that sort of shape. We have it already with Bill Gates 🤣

Don't worry, school will beat it out of them by the time they graduate.

Adderall boy is very well read for his age.. Knowing that an object''s mass increases in mass the closer it reaches the speed of light.. He's gonna go places in life..

[@Mujahid2885]

@@nickevershedmusic8927 what meme?

[@AlexaFaie]

@@nickevershedmusic8927 He just seemed to be neurodivergent in some way. Super common for those of us who are autistic or have ADHD to have special interests or hyperfixations which mean we gain very in depth knowledge on niche subjects. He seemed so genuinely excited to share the information he had learned, even if it did freak the other kid out a bit.

Can you close your ears for a second 🤣🤣🤣🤣, I'll take whatever they're having. That's the most polite way of saying "I can't believe I'm sitting with these two dumbasses".

[@phillipbaker3860]

It is so funny when they do this, how russell keeps his face straight he must be laughing for hours after

[@mistermagnifico]

As teachers we do, so he must

Gravitational pull??!!! That's deep man

That kid is gonna put this video on oxford application

‘i’ll take whatever they’re having’ 😂😂

😂😂😂Playground politics needs to be longer. Love this ❤️

[@virgilbiggs6525]

0:35 the look on the other kids face is "I think he's an alien"

[@LHyoutube]

1:15 - In fairness, that kid was technically correct as he was talking about the engraved plaques attached to the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes, which showed a drawing of a naked man and woman as well as other things to try and explain our species and the location of Earth without using language 😀

[@seidenschnabelfederflugel5441]

I love how Russel gets the kids and himself in playing mode so easily. Its so nice. ♥️

[@missymi]

That was one brutal "skip"

[@clinton8421]

*Everyone else:* _coming up with creative and zany theories about alien civilisations_ *That one kid:* 🤓

[@penguinista]

Russel's Napoleon Dynamite style 'Whuh?' at 0:32 was an excellent example of speaking someone else's vernacular. It was seamless, the kid didn't even notice.

[@licensetodrive9930]

If they gave out the same answers as adults, you'd think they're all in rehab. Only at that age can you make up stories because you don't know the truth and be adorable while doing it.

[@Jennyfisch]

"What should we do to get the aliens' attention?" "Send them pictures of naked women." I a way, we did that.

[@LHyoutube]

Those Pioneer 10 and 11 plaques, am I right? 😀

[@dinogoldie9716]

1:15 Very much the "1990s nightclub flyer" school of interplanetary communication.

[@Salomessanctuary]

I am practicing the Alien dance moves, I keep coming back here.😍🙏🖤🛸

[@mariaorourke5866]

Well imagination is a beautiful thing and children have it in abundance. If aliens ever do come this way I think they should talk to the kids first.

[@snibdogg5057]

I'm pretty sure the alien kidnapper is gonna be a Politition

[@aamnahere6250]

The part where that kid wanted to send pictures of naked women to lure and later abduct aliens to send them to labs for experiments is......a bit unsettling.

[@sikinsokin]

It makes sense if you understand the context. I’m pretty sure he was trying to explain the Voyager Golden Record and the pictures it contains. Then he added more to it from that. Search the name in a search engine, or on KZbin. Vox has a simple video explaining it and then showing the pictures it contains.

[@prajullas]

I am here for the philosophical kid.

[@nickevershedmusic8927]

Russel actually can sing quite well

[@IAmFJ1]

Most of the time the way Russell talks in Playground Politics makes me think that he's afraid of these kids.

[@weareallbornmad410]

Why?

[@pinkpontiac12345]

The alien dance was legit. It attracts other aliens while repelling humans

[@Scattycatartwork]

Playground politics is hilarious, we need more of this in our day 😂😂😂

[@wisteela]

Hyper kid is seriously intelligent.

It's a pity these guys aren't growing up in the era of ALF on TV!

[@willfomes406]

Aliens definitely exist and who knows they could look virtually identical humans.

[@romaining]

They were right all along 😮

[@griffin1281]

Bless all bloody brilliant 🤣

[@chosethebluepill]

The argument about them not being able to travel to earth because of the gravitational pull and light years is one thing, but why can't they exist elsewhere, somewhere with suitable conditions for their species.

[@enyaskoromnova8707]

If you want to hear the truth ask the children. It'll, at least, be funny.

Well they certainly destroyed Star Treck in a few minutes!

*Trek 😀

[@jemonthebrain]

🤣

[@ThomasakaDes]

Aliens are real.

[@ThomasakaDes]

Reasons why aliens haven't really shown themselfs is because humans aren't ready for it. Just look at all the idiots on tiktok. And the idiots doing challenges. As long as there's so many dumb people on earth they won't bother with us. They're probably looking for intelligent life 🤣

[@10hp88]

This is treasonous ?

[@jackcogi9586]

do you speak to kids because if you spoke to adults they'd tell you your ideas are bollocks and you cant look someone in the eye

[@rzrhed8728]

I hope Russell has kids. I think he'd make a great dad.

[@ym10up]

I agree he would be a great dad but his vibe is more uncle-like. In fact he's been an amazing uncle to his nephew

[@enyaskoromnova8707]

Labs 🧪 we can do researchers on them u know if we do we have to ask permission the other labs so we really can’t put them in labs 🧪.
