its amazing how he manages to speak about something serious, make some solid points and still be hilarious
on to the completely uninformed
Same reason people loved George Carlin
@@theunknownstuntman4010yup, I was just about to recommend him
The genius of true comedy :)
Claiming they're teaching tolerance isn't making a good point it's following the crowd.
Best quote: parents know best - not always!
Specially when you see those us videos about school meetings
Never do they!
If your parents didn't know and hurt you beyond repair, it doesn't mean that other parents do not know what is best for their children. Don't project your personal traumatic experiences.
Hardly ever is more accurate.
@@gt4654 your response stands as proof that most parents don't have a friggin' clue how to raise kids, let alone how to educate them. Indoctrinating kids, now, there's where a majority of parents excel, largely because they'll have support from their church or their "racial" group, or their "class" group, at shoving their prejudices and fairytales down their children's throat. Parents are great at filling a kid's head with bullshit, and usually because they can't be arsed to be honest and say, "I don't know about that". I won't even start to touch upon their ignorance re: truly negative social influences on children from outside the family because, again, the vast majority of parents are getting it wrong there, too. Between guns, climate, drugs, crime, and bullying, the scope is too fast to cover, but the fact that a large segment of the parental population blame entirely unconnected issues as the influence instead of a consequence or just a response to the real issues, is telling. Kids don't learn to be gay or trans adults, they just are gonna be if they already are. They're gonna listen to music that speaks to them, they're gonna play the games available that they enjoy, they're gonna be friends with who they like, and they're gonna view the people who order them around with resentment. PS: You attacked the commenter (not the statement) who basically said the exact same thing as you did, just more elegantly. That is why your post is proof of the OPs comment. If your parents had known best, and done best by you, you wouldn't have gotten defensive to the point that you went on offense. You wouldn't have been triggered.
Russell is a genius, how to make the most serious problems understandable and hilarious, at the same time, is a skill which I can think of no other comedian possessing.
DAVE CHAPPELLE????
There's nothing genius about being ignorant about what they're teaching kids at school.
When I feel sad... You always make laugh... Thanks, Russell.
we need more comedians like this. Ones that call out the bullshit panic around "woke culture" and unashamedly stand up for people.
It's the time frame for us... we didn't bang on woke culture until this year, it was a boom of young ones changing their identities, pronouns, nonbinary, trans, and the list goes on. The U.K. once again followed and sheeped America again... it turned into a trend for most of them all over tiktok. So no... I still don't agree with most ppl in this woke crap. Oh yeh, and there were parents pushing it on their kids and the woke teachers telling the children about it without parents' consent. Took much for less than a year here.
You’re not really understanding this are you ? 😅. The right are the one’s speaking out against sex Ed.
"bullshit panic". Just don't come complaining if the warnings end up coming true.
@@JurgenErhard i won't, because they won't
They always say that until they come for those who supported them @@roryaphunter
Gotta love how he doesn't waste a chance to drag his brother in the mud with him
Knives in schools. And the justice system comes down on frightened children who carry blades in terrified desperation, while both schools and police remain curiously blind to serial bullying. And I speak from long and bitter experience with the myopic authorities involved.
Funny thing is that when I was younger the most dangerous thing I had in my pocket was conkers.
Ooh er missus
A most deadly and evil device
the knife crime skit is so heavy hitting and 100%true
"Strangle me, Jeff!" 🤣🤣🙈🙈 But I agree.
The last line😹I love Russell
Your comedy makes my life a little bit better!
One other thing here, teaching children that life isn't actually all heterosexual, and as Russell says tolerance too, But it's more than that. I struggled for over four Decades thinking I was broken heterosexual. I had never heard of Asexuality. I am Classic description Asexual. I wasn't broken, I just didn't know there was a name for my sexuality, let alone that others felt the same. Thanks to the Internet today's kids aren't going to have Decades of believing themselves to be broken, they're going to know, and eventually through schools too, that Asexuality also exists. We're 1 in 100 apparently. Yet since I've talked about it, another four people I know, ranging from mid 30s to mid 60s have Also realised that they too are Asexual. I think the real figures are higher. I'm also Aromantic too, which explains so much! But my father was extremely Homophobic so I could never tell him. My mother wasn't just understanding, she totally recognised this was me. I long for a world where everyone can be free to be open about their sexuality and live in total safety 🌈
I didnt know there was a word 'agender' as a kid, just knew i was
yes!! i never heard the word gay until i was like 12, and then it was always negative. i never heard about it being good, so i forced myself to try and like boys for years. i was so terrified of admitting i was a lesbian that when that didn't work i thought i was ace because i guess i thought that was better than liking girls. i'm 19 now, and it's only really in this past year that i've been able to be more honest with myself and others. but i was only really able to admit it because i had a massive crush on a close friend and there was really just no denying it anymore. the only good thing about this experience is that i now know a lot of asexual terminology, and i know a lot more about the community than a lot of other non ace people. i think it's a shame the lack of representation you guys get! proud of you for coming out to your mum, i wish you the best! stay safe :)
Fellow aro/ace here. I learned this is a thing when i was 30. I could have spared myself so much grief if I knew sooner.
I will never understand how someone can be so insecure in their own sexuality that they are threatened by someone else expressing theirs. Love and let live, and then love some more - at the end of the journey we're all destined for the same dirt anyway..
And at some point in development, every person is exclusively female.
I can't imagine how tough it must be to recognise that you're trans-gender, let alone telling family, friends and colleagues. I do however have an issue with trans-gender women in private female spaces. I don't want to be at my local pool changing rooms with my daughter and see male genitalia no matter how they identify. Sadly it's been documented too often recently. I only know one transgender woman and in her words 'I don't want to be drying my balls in front of a Mum and her kids' . She always uses a gender neutral/disabled option. A few idiots make it awful for the majority of trans women who just want to tick along with life.
@@elenawilliams32it's been documented where? Got link or 12? I have trouble believing what you say. Even if you have one friend who is trans. You can have black friend and still be a bigot.
most child abuse is by cis women, @@elenawilliams32 - but apparently there is no issue there. And why would you have an issue with someone who does not have balls? Face it - youre just a bigot, with extra steps. Have fun with your aunty Tom friend
@@jessicazaytsoff1494 Okay. Google WiSpa incident, YMCA trans-gender exposure, sadly there's been quite a few. One of which was false as the transwoman had gone through SRS. MLK high school trans-gender woman student exposed herself multiple times and beat female students. The US sorority that has allowed a trans-gender woman membership when 7 women said that she watches them in the showers and asks highly inappropriate sexual questions having had very obvious erections through tight leggings whilst doing so. I can keep going but you'll see for yourself when you google it. Take care.
Russell, i love your compassion, your incitefulness and your brilliant humour.
Honestly, I don't understand why some people are so concerned about the contents of other people's underpants. Mind your business. If someone is unlucky enough to have been born with such a struggle ahead of them, do we really need to make it harder?
@@Anonymoose66GSo if you fell in love with someone,and later discovered they could not conceive,you would just automatically no longer love them? That’s not love-that’s just breeding.
@@Anonymoose66G Breeding isn’t love. Trust,sharing,caring,being each other’s equals,respect-that’s love. Getting a woman pregnant doesn’t mean love. Anybody fertile could do that. Love is respecting and understanding a person,and being there through thick and thin,good times and bad,sickness and health. Your idea that breeding is love is straight out of The Handmaids Tale.m
@@RhondaKL stop arguing in the comedy commentst both of u. scaring the hoes (respectfully)
@@Anonymoose66Gbreeding is absolutely not love
Buddy, we care less about what you're hiding down there or care even more less about what kind of daemons you're struggling in your mind. We do care what you want to do with other people's children since you are cursed not to have yours.
SO FUNNY!!! .... but so true we need to laugh at ourselves more and take action where needed ... sensible ... then laugh some more.
Hey funny and guy of action! Have you read “Gender Queer” and are you familiar with the Zulocks?
watched you in Aber, honestly my brother was about to pass out and I got a stinging headate from how much we laughed. Also that heckler was quite the character.
I almost died at the sellotape line
I, too, was 9 years old. I cringe at the fractured memories of that period of my life, but then again, things were vastly different 50 years ago. That said, I'm glad I had already swallowed my coffee ...
"DO YOU DO CHIPS?" 😂😂😂 You're brilliant Russell....never change, my friend 😂😂💐💐
He’s speaking big facts, love how much fun he can make while talking about these big and serious topics. ❤
The faces he’s pulling are reminding me sooo much of lee evans right now 😂
If parents know best, have THEM teach calculus. Then film it and post it on KZhead so I can have a good laugh.
If parents knew best, Lucy Letby wouldn't have any visitors.
So true, like if parents know best on EVERYTHING, then how come I can differentiate arctan x and my dad can’t? lol
Why did he have to say "you alright Jeff?" 🤦♂️😂😂😂😂
I'm not good with words, and I can't describe how welcome I feel when I watch your shows and videos. I just want to say thank you for being a decent human and excellent comedian.
5:24 Letting out his truest Ronald Regan impression lmfao. Lips flapping about n' all! Absolutely love the content
Ya know I love the hard left in this man! Look at the words, he feels he’s got to carry a knife!, he’s a scared little boy!, most are their with judgment. He seems to get it
bringing up great points while making it funny! great content!!
I teach year 1 in a school in an area where it’s not common to be gay and I’ve mentioned my male friend who has a boyfriend and they couldn’t understand it but it sparked a good conversation about different types of families and they were just curious about it. I was so glad I got to have that conversation with them
Sooo true and so funny. Thank you.x
I am sure there will be plenty of people happily volunteering to have a go at you Russell ☺️ you don't have to do it all by yourself
Oh, the state of Florida would try and have him banned.
@@Altmetalpunkthe state of Florida and the state of delusion are rapidly becoming synonymous.
Strangle me Jeff! 😂
Love you Russel! Your words about the trans community were really heart warming for me, I can’t wait to see you live next year!
I'm kicking myself, as I'm too late to get a ticket for his NEC gigs. There are only a handful of restricted views left.
Keep calm and carry on 🇬🇧
Always so relatable Russ ❤😂
Thanks for talking about stuff that most people don't say! Applause from Yorkshire
It seriously baffles me why people get offended when another person that has nothing to do with them says they personally don't feel like the gender they were born as. Bigot: How dare you not feel like the gender I see you as! Do you realise how horrible it is for me personally that you don't feel comfortable as your born gender? Do you realise how damaging it is for MY life that you feel that way? Do you NOT understand how disastrous this will be for me in my personal life moving forward?!" Average trans: "we literally just passed each other for the first time on the street. I don't even know you. How is what I identify as harmful to you?" Bigot: "Because it is!" That sums it up pretty accurately, if you ask me.
Bigot: I'm scared I might be attracted to a trans-woman and someone will accuse me of being gay! You have to stick to your assigned at birth gender so I'm not in danger of hitting on someone with a penis!
As long as you don't try to explain to me, a biological woman, what a biological woman is that you don't feel justified in making me watch your male penis in the women's changing room, we are all good. But there needs to be some ground rules because not everyone seems to agree on what is or isn't ok, so until that is the case my level of acceptance depends on the individual.
@@melchiorlise2466 well, conflating a social construct as terminology for a biological concept which has been proven to exist within a non-binary continuum... Isn't gonna get us any closer to helping you understand that womanhood is not a biological marker. A woman is someone who expresses the socially agreed traits associated with womanhood, such as patience, motherliness, feminine aesthetical choices for the most part, and may have some physical features ASSOCIATED with the female phenotype. Just because something is a social construct, doesn't make it an unrealistic thing. It is very real, in the minds of those who consider themselves a woman or a man. But here, on the outside, we're just people.
@@audreydoyle5268 Being a woman is about more than having long hair, wearing dresses and calling yourself a woman. We weren't oppressed since the dawn of mankind, raped, forced to have children, because we "exhibit socially agreed traits associated with womanhood". We got oppressed because we are biologically different from men, because we have vaginas, because we can have children, because we are physically weaker. When I think of a woman it's implicit I think "biological" woman and most people are like me. Trying to dissociate us from the concept of woman won't do any good, at some point the word will stop meaning anything for us, and we will once more be sorting people with "biological male" and "biological female". And then what. Call yourself whatever you want, dress however you want, date whoever you want and stop trying to redefine the meaning of a word so you can feel more valid at the expense of people who earned that word.
Love your content 😂😂😂😂😂
glad you addressed these issues and made me laugh too
Learn what the Zulocks did, and read “Gender Queer” and then come to laugh together...
I agree that people do need to calm down, but I also think that most of our issues today are caused or exacerbated by a complete lack of thinking. We "feel" things and rush to (often erroneous) conclusions about what those feelings mean. We need to learn to think again.
I think the problems in the world for too long have been caused by who believes they think the right way. Just do what feels right for you, love, and don't make anyone else feel bad.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Did not expect the ending to be one of your ends, in your end! 😅
I love Russell
Just love this guy x He's sure to put a smile on my face on the most down days! X
Best episode I've seen ❤️
This is spot on!!
So damn funny! Thank you for the laughs!
I worked in education a very long time before I retired. Parents know best? Give me a break!! In my experience, most parents regard the education system as little more than a free crèche...
I'm from the US and I wish our biggest problem was a damn Knife.
I adore this dude - funny as hell, smart and open minded
God I love this man.
Not where I thought that video would end 😂
❤ Russell
The "Jeff" bit is probably my favourite bit of his ever. No pun intended ; )
I am so thrilled you're coming to Philly next month! I asked my BFF, and she got us tickets for my early Christmas prezzie. It's the closest to being home I'll get and we both think you're brill! Also, now I can share your show, because we have tickets before they sold out. I have a lot of friends in the LGBQTIA community who will love this as much as everyone here does. See you soon! Cheers.
please remember they're not all thickos/uneducated/working class. Some of the higher end of the food chain are just as bad
Wey hey russ loving it ... keep saying it as it is !!
I am overweight and hate it and constantly feel like I'm wearing a fat suit. Not being able to be comfortable with your gender is a whole other can of worms.
This is so sad - don't hate it - people don't talk about how weight is actually a psychological issue - majority of people are overweight because of mental health issues not because of anything else - you're doing the best you can to look after yourself so be kind to yourself- you deserve kindness
I'm not comfortable being half blind, among other disabilities I've been cursed with. Struggle with disability dysphoria on a daily basis. Doesn't make understanding trans people so hard to me.
DO.YOU.DO.CHIPS 😂😂😂😂😂
❤thank you Russell. This needs to go viral. I agree about the empathy. I now live secluded in an awesome spot in the woods. Everyday is an adventure. I cant believe what’s happening out there. Luckily Im in Canada, but I worry about my neighbours. 😢
you and i see the world very much the same way!!! you are just way funnier than me!!! LOL!
"... I thought I was dying..." How... how long has the cello-tape been there?
Sometime between 7 or 8 years old to about 18 probably
I totally agree
"We need more empathy in this country" Sanest thing I've heard all year.
Not to perverts, degenerates and kid fiddlers and those who make excuses for their actions.
@@russianbot4418 ha, says the kind of person who would ask me if I'm a boy or a girl. If you must know what people are in strict categories, I've got news for ya. You're the pervert.
When I was nine years old, we all had butterfly knives , switch blades, a big ass, Rambo knife, BB guns, bottle rockets, and firecrackers because I’m from rural America I also learned how to shoot a .22 when I was four.
I love you so much! I love the compassion you have for people
I think you may have forever changed the lyrics to teddy bear picnic for me. You bastard. LOL
I love this special. I've watched it at least 4 times.
strangle me Jeff! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
'Trouble at the mill' got me laughing out loud! 😂 Thanks Russell for using your humour to help get us through these very troubling, Tory, Brexit, Covid, Climate crisis times! 🥰
I want it as my ringtone
I love him so much, this type of comedy is so refreshing to see. Keep doing what you're doing!!
I used one of those clicky things for a job. Paid well😂😂😂 Glad I was exposed to it as a young kid, made it so much easier as a grown up😁
You are hilarious Russell but it's not just about love and tolerance. That can be taught at a later age than what is being done today.
I love him lol ty
Come to America please! We want you here and we need you!
At least you don't have "road rage." As an American, I'm calling first. Also Russel Howard rocks. I loved your Taskmaster stint.
Nobody should be MADE to do Morris dancing. But I have to say I really enjoy it
Fucking brilliant!!!
I FOOKIN LOVE, ❤, L❤VE RUSSELL HOWARD - that's all I wanted to say😊
1000 blessings upon Russell Howard. You always cheer me up and snap me out of depression. Keep the laughs and good messages coming. - A Fan in Fort Worth, Texas
This is the correct answer.
I still remember our school playground was 52m long
Your one of the goodens Russell 😁 One thing though being trans is totally ace - i totally own it - so do most trans and non binary folk i know 😊 The neg side is just the prejudice mainly from certain media - keep making us laugh - keep tackling difficult topics 🙏
Just answered someone's pining inquiry to "what is a woman". They also mentioned "biological woman" and I had a field day!!! 😂
You should take some worming tablets Russell if you "have a go at yourself " in your sleep.
Why would it end where it did?! I'm made of questions!!!
😂😂😂😂quality. If you arent gaspin for air or crying..damn he's funny.
He really is brilliant.
I've said this a few times around KZhead, but if people have a different gender, or sexuality, I won't put you on a pedestal, nor will I discriminate against you, your just another person. That's your business.
Love how you take important topics and make it funny
Yeah, but one does get the distinct impression that it's the tolerance and love that are the "dirty" part....
What on earth do you mean?
@@audreydoyle5268 this was two months ago. I'm not going to watch it again. At a guess, I would say it was about religious bigotry, and the fact that some people conflate "that which frightens them" with "evil."
Love you Russell 😄 Way to preach it and bring it home‼️ You're the best 👌
Well I guess I’m counting my blessings right now lol. I’m a chronic sleepwalker and have gotten into some pretty hilarious hijinks as a result… um but at least my sleep antics don’t involve me causing myself rectal tears! 😮
More people should watch Russell's stuff
❤❤❤ Russ, you're a beautiful, funny, intelligent, totally sorted human being whose family must be bursting with pride.
Any kid that can hold a gun and point it at someone and squeeze the trigger deserves to go to prison just like a 40 year old, period
I guess you're pro-trans surgeries for kids.
Lol THAT was the laugh I needed today - thanks Russell!
stop fighting the poor.. the poor arent the ones robbing you of your future.. HOLD POWER TO ACCOUNT !!!
thanks I'm sending this to my friend jeff just for that comment XD
👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Never stop, Russell! Get,s better and better.
