The more I hear about Russell's family the more it makes sense that he became a comedian, his family is just naturally funny

[@Mortthemoose]

I know. Makes me a bit jealous....I have no family.

[@GBfanatic15]

endless material XD

[@bea94hr]

He has a series where he travels with his mum. "Russell Howard & mum: Globetrotters" and it's so worth watching. The mum is so sweet! 🥰

[@JessMurgatroyd]

I do. His family sound hilarious 😂

[@troy1994]

Uncle Tim sounds hilarious 😂

[@MrAmps]

I love how comedy can raise your own happy memories while laughing along with a person you know you’d get on with and will probably never meet. Cheers Russell.

[@chillfluencer]

...yeah...but eventually we will all end up in demential paranoia before we die.

[@howlinhobbit]

I’d certainly enjoy meeting Russell, but I’d *love* to meet his mum.

"Whenever you have the opportunity to throw silly into the world, do it! Life is a battle and silly is a rest" I agree wholeheartedly Russell ♥

Nice thought. Calvin was funny, creative, imaginative, and naughty. Just like Russell. 🙂👍

Russell’s profound love is simply beautiful.

[@Delmaria94]

My gran was amazing, miss her a lot. She took me in when things were rough, and cos she had old pipes I'd have to tell her when I was going in the shower so she wouldn't turn on a tap and cause the temperature to go funny. Every time I told her I was going to shower she'd say "don't forget your umbrella". I'd come out later and she'd look at me and say "you forgot your umbrella" and I'd reply "sorry grandma I'll remember next time.". She also called tomato sauce 'Tommy horse' which I still do. Its those little silly moments.

[@TallyDrake]

When people tell me they're going to take a shower, I say "Be sure to put it back!"

Making memories is more fun than taking selfies. People need to put the phones down and stop living their lives through a camera lens. Love you Russell, You LEGEND 🌟

[@abegarfield7031]

George Carlin said something very similar in the '90s about everyone using camcorders. Only he said it in a much more aggressive manner than Russell did.

[@connieluvr]

yh but it’s good to take photos bc not everyone can remember everything and when ur old u can look through them

[@JessMurgatroyd]

​@connieluvr I love photos so my daughter can go through these when she's older. She loves looking at photos from our holidays etc. I'm also worried about memories going. My mums memory isn't as good now she's in her 60s and I worry she will.lose it all. It's nice to show her photos.

As they say “Laughter is the best medicine.” It’s spot on. Everyone has a struggle in life, but if you can find something funny, it’ll make things so much better. Even if it’s briefly. My biggest fear for the future, is a world without comedy/silliness/ laughter. I’d absolutely hate it if the world just decided to ban humour. Laughing is what makes life worth living. It would be dull without jokes. So go out there and share a laugh, because it’ll make things feel better and easier.

Many years ago I was in Cambodia to visit Angkor Wat. I was staying in this lovely place that helped to arrange tours. At lunch this girl was demanding a refund on her guide: she was forced to return early because her phone had died and she was no longer able to take photos so there was no point staying. After she had been firmly refused and had gone, the lady on reception and I exchanged a look and I felt the need to say ‘I’m sorry’.

Hi Russel I have been enjoying you output for many years your sterling contribution to the canon of satirical humour is right up my street. In spite of this I think your choice of caption for this episode is a bit dubious for a start you answer it yourself in the first statement, it is as you say not 'real' life and in that strange universe of fantasy there are no boundaries of any sort. Anywy sorrybabout that I love the rest of the episode and will do my best to be as silly as I can, at the moment I am working on learning to recite the calendar backwards because that is what I was asked to do by a nure-=se at the hospital a couple of weeks ago, at the time I just about managed to do as required but afterwards realised I had missed golden opportunity, now I find that it is not as easy as I had d=hoped, so far I have got from Rebmeced to Rebotco reasonably swiftly and reliably, at the moment Rebmetpes is just about ok but I am struggling a bit with just how to say Tsugua, I will keep at and hopefully by the time I come out from the anaesthetic I will have got the hang of it, if I do come back that is of course!. Cheers, Richard.
