How the Government has Dealt with COVID this Year | The Russell Howard Hour

As a brit living outside of the UK, just want to say that the general consensus from outside England is that the UK gov. have fucked the handling of covid royally… it’s almost as if they wanted herd immunity from the start despite the initial death toll it would cause… 🤔

Oh, and anyone complaining about restrictions? Suck it up, buttercup. Other generations had to go to war and die brutal, horrific deaths; we have had to sit at home, use the internet to stay in daily contact with friends and family, and play as many computer games as we wanted… Oh, my loss of liberty! FFS.

I prefer it without the laughter track. Keeps him sharp. Just get a few mates to heckle off to the side. YouTube is a whole new demograph.

Finger the meerkat

I miss crowd laughter 😭

HEY LADS, SYKE, WE NOW IN OUR THIRD WAVE YEAH BOY

I bet that electric fence was a real buzz after a few pints though… Once the senses had dulled a bit you know what I mean?

I bet if Kier Starmer became PM then Russel Howard would stop talking about the government.

The head of preparedness bullshit to me just shows how much this government has literally been mocking the general populus and the hypocrisy is tremendous. They know how people will react when scared into something…

Russell Howard you are a Legend
Made me laugh so much in these horrible times 😂😂 this is marty n the doc, I died at that

Every conservative government got it wrong and completely screwed everyone over coronavirus. What does that tell you about conservative attitudes to ordinary folk. You’re all collateral damage.

They have blamed immigrants, single mothers, children (after they said schools were safe), young adults, over 50’s, NHS staff.
They will never take responsibility willingly, we need to hold them to it and the consequences.

6:02 That aged well…

I didn’t think he was very funny in this video

Its good to know that America isn’t the only one dealing poorly. I related to this way to much for comfortable 😅

about as funny as a tin of paint

The health leader in Denmark very quickly went out after the lockdown and said that "sex is good, sex is healthy, we approve of sex" xD They just adviced you to find a ‘buddy’.

Cant the government just do a actual lockdown instead of well you are allowed to go out but we trust you wont lol you would think after 6months of this not working they would be more strict but nope

Boris Johnson be like: PM I am. Deal or No Deal. Leave EU we must

Nah I love you man you are literally so inspirational you take dark gloomy and depression subjects, turn them into comedy whilst still making great educational content and points and you even stick at it when no one is in the audience to laugh because you find it important and your actually the best person in this country hands down

Damn. Tough crowd isn’t it

Oh my, the old Aussie ballad is coming true:

The pub with no beer :p

From a gen z high schooler: I was fine working from home, a large percent of us were fine working from home. Don’t use us as your scapegoats after YOU sent us back to school. We went from being reasonably safe from getting and spreading Covid to being in bubbles of around one hundred depending on the size of your year group, in numerous classes of a different 30 people each lesson. Those who were struggling with home learning? If the teachers think it necessary, they go to school. Those who could, with reasonable levels of success, maintain their learning at home? Keep them home. If they are old enough to be left alone or with the supervision of an older sibling while parents are at work: keep them home.
We are not your scapegoats; don’t force us into a situation and then blame us for it impacting the bigger picture.

"The prime minister is trying to help prevent a second lock down’

Me watching this in the third on 😑

We need to kick them out.

28:00

Fuck the BBC and newspapers Russell Howard is all we need to get our news intake

I’m from the north and I can tell you it’s absolutely shite I just want an iced frappe with caramel 😭😭

My nephew went shopping with my sister last week, he’s autistic and doesn’t understand what covid is, all he knows is coughing is bad, and everyone had face masks on to protect themselves, he went passed every older person and coughed 🤦 has no idea why it’s wrong x shouldn’t laugh but he’s 6 years old and so funny

‘Don’t kill your gran by catching coronavirus and then passing it on’
School students: *sweats profusely*

Hello from the United States of Narcissism. Any one else feel like they are in an Alfred Hitchcock film? Ya know, for the last 13 months?

Nice to see a 141 politicians didn’t like this video!

You are a legend mate

My 3 word slogans:
Kick Them Out
Eat The Rich
Useless Incompetent Twats
Spaffing Taxpayers Money

5:42 best advice I’ve heard all year. Thanks Russell 🙂

I swear Russell Howard is elite🤣🤣🤣

Mmm yes it’s safe go back or we’ll sack you

A week later locks down the entire country

No pasty no nasty

just not funny without the audience sounds

The book for an emergency part reminded me. Today i saw a poor old man trying to book an eye test for the 5th time after having tried a while before. They refused to let him into the reception room while it was pissing down raining because of social distancing despite having more than enough room within and tolled him he needed to book online, sending him home again. He explained how he cant access the internet and his calls are being declined or is told to book through the website.

Companies need to get their shit together with all this booking bullshit. The woman speaking to him legit tried to guilt trip him, telling him that "Times are hard". He is at the age most at risk and this company is really telling him they have it hard???

The Government’s response to the Coronovirus has been a complete disaster but we have to face up to the fact that public stupidity has been as much to blame for the high death toll

Has anyone watched spitting image Matt Hancock’s puppet is funny why can’t the Queen dismiss this government after this monumental fuckup

I’ve been to that pub

bleating on bout hopspiyal full etc , ok show us ….film it , you film yourselves messing round on ticktock …. upload it on other platforms ,,, chuck the link in here ….. guess what no reply .. if there is a real problem and need for a lockdown….you better start showing us cos 25% the country dont believe it 25% dont care , the other 50% are wetting themselves behind the sofa ….some msm hack saying they full in front of an ambulance aint gonna cut it anymore!.

It’s not the same without an audience

This is why this country has gone down the toilet , hypocrisy, unorganized chaos , misinformation,"don’t do this,do that ,no hang on actually do that….no hang on " The lunatics are really running this country

And now I’m not getting my A-levels and won’t get into uni

If you want to live, don’t die

WAKE UP

Most of the people in those interviews aren’t even wearing proper mask. Of course they aren’t going to work when they aren’t made to work.

South Africa has banned the sales of boozes😂
