HIGNFY S24E06 Boris Johnson, Stephen K Amos & Clive Anderson

[@arnaudmeert1527]

Definitely one of the best episodes of HIGNFY.

[@ollietaro]

...and one of the worst hosts 😂

[@5Heth]

This show had me laughing so hard that I had to keep rewinding it cos I kept missing bits. Boris Johnson was pretty funny.
Awesome show to binge watch to help take your mind off of Covid. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@Brownalebelly]

I have never laughed as much at HIGNFY as here. You can hear the audience screaming, too. Fantastic.

[@kathowed]

Absolute chaos! And I loved it! Thanks again, BH.

[@maccoll3644]

Very nice to see Stephen K. Amos on the panel! This was a very funny episode, with Boris waffling like crazy. Thanks!

[@MM-dq2pi]

he barely got a word in

[@jreiland07]

11:08 - “I’m in charge here.”
Well you sure are now Boris.

[@sashazukiwskyj3071]

First exposure of fake news

[@DomBrownyo]

More Like Murdoch, The American Oligarchs, Landed Gentry of the UK and Carrie Symonds b4 Ultra Liar than sexual Deviant BOJO.

[@drkwrl]

33:55 “There has been talk of you, Boris, of becoming the next Conservative leader.”

[@sammole5144]

"i think the chances of that happening are about as likely as being... locked in a fridge"

This is one of my favourite HIGNFYs as the bit with the leopard print shoes is fantastic-Thanks for posting

[@kikufutaba1194]

I live in Japan and we have our silly political shows, but few if any achieve what this fine show does. I love Boris he is like his own comedy show. How can anyone not like Boris Johnson he has great sense of humor.

[@carolinesullivan6381]

BoJo should stick to comedy. In this context, he’s actually really funny.

[@MM-dq2pi]

like George Bush

[@mccobsta]

Hes entire career has been making himself the butt of the joke dosent make any sense of him being the pm

[@theravenhaslanded321]

Pretty easy to be funny when people are writing for you

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@theravenhaslanded321 I think he's genuinely witty. The written jokes weren't the funny parts. He's a sociopath who built a career of lies and fantasy, but I agree that if he'd stuck to comedy he'd have been really good, and a bit less atrocious. GW Bush though? He could make himself laugh, but no one else. He was just a joke.

[@samadams3802]

I came here to watch this because Boris just became prime minister

[@DomBrownyo]

And will now go down in History as the Worst and Most corrupt!
That took some doing after Cameron and Thatcher! Bravo!

[@DomBrownyo]

Oh and May, the repeated losing of the Pedophile dossiers of Tory conservatives and right wing ruling elites was a masterclass in ensuring Tory dominance and unaccountability of the State!

[@gordinistanopolis]

"come on team we gotta get a grip here" had me howling love Boris

[@jonathaneffemey4892]

Thanks for posting.

[@Ondine107]

I miss Clive Anderson on TV

[@TitanUranusOfficial]

American, and had only ever heard Boris Johnson's name before I started watching HIGNFY. I think he's perfectly aware of *why* he's an easy target, I think he plays into it, and just doesn't care - he has that best characteristic in someone trying to be funny, a willingness to be made to look undignified.
I think if he were American he could become president - and the hair wouldn't hurt his chances!

[@rebeccabennett4344]

Funny thing. Boris was born in New York and I believe he has dual citizenship. So he may not live here, but he’s American.

[@RIXRADvidz]

@@rebeccabennett4344 a couple of years ago on Mock the Week they were talking about Boris being born in America, has dual citizenship, the shock that went through the audience and the panel could be felt through the screen. shudder at the possibility. Boris becomes President.

I feel for Stephen, he is completely out of his comfort zone.

[@flaggerify]

Barry Roach Boris is funnier.

[@LeofromFreo]

Excellent episode. Watch to the very end.

[@bundleofperceptions1397]

Confusion must follow Boris around, like his shadow.

[@RIXRADvidz]

today on ReWatch : HIGGY Flavoured Chaos. a great go-to when you just need to laugh for laughing's sake. Connections to Catering Gets You Coconuts!! yeah, that flavour!

Definately the BEST MAN for the PM's job....Vote, vote for Boris Johnson.....

[@bryangl1]

Brilliant! My opinion of Boris has changed completely (and I mean this in a positive sense). They gave him a hard time and he survived superbly. Highly entertaining.
Later addition. He is an entertaining and likeable personality, but a political clown.

[@JW_PUNK29]

I've seen that blond man on the news a lot lately

[@tamsinwalker7809]

If anyone else is here on July 6 2022, can we all just say together loooooooooooool

[@MuggsMcGinnis]

Boris Johnson shows how Tories govern... they don't listen to what others say, are repeatedly wrong, and don't learn from their mistakes. Fortunately, screwing up while leading a game show doesn't have any significant consequences.

[@heinrichvonwicker168]

Kinda how both the major parties govern, no?

[@pressureworks]

All parties, worldwide. Comment reported (wazzok)

[@nondescript11]

If only he'd stuck with being aTV game show host

[@monkeyspankerful]

Boris is brilliant.

[@thedolphin5428]

Boris is adorable (as a HIGNFY host).

[@paul1x1]

This guy is going to be prime minister really how would you like to hear the phone calls between boris and trump comedy gold

[@hayreddinbarbarossa661]

Incoherent but hilarious

[@pressureworks]

SURELY Boris should have his own tv or radio comedy panel show??

[@theravenhaslanded321]

Surely you are not British... right? You don't know how much a failure he was as a PM during Covid? 😂😂

[@pressureworks]

@@theravenhaslanded321 a failure as a politician. But very entertaining as a host on this show. And his many, many many appearances via vide clips. Note I did clearly say comedy show.

Priceless.

[@HappyinJapan358]

It’s January 20th 2022, I woke up this morning thinking Boris was an absolute scumbag and then I watched this episode and I think”oh good old Boris, great fun here”. Why didn’t he just stay in comedy?

[@defiantnomads]

its "cute" til you put them in charge of a country.
i'm american... i know.

[@granthurlburt4062]

That's how he got elected. Peopl were charmed by him. Many people decide who to vote for attracted by apparent personality than actual policies and actions which are harder to understand. Making decisions on emotional rather than intellectual grounds. And not realizing how often he lied and lied and misled.

[@granthurlburt4062]

Exactly. W Bush, Reagan, and (to my disgust and amazement) the haircut that lumbers like a man. @@defiantnomads

Good old Boris! Wins the contest for leader of the Conservative Party and Wins the GE with a huge majority!! Good man!

[@granthurlburt4062]

Bad man. Don't you follow the news? Gets elected on his con-man personality

[@jwslijm7278]

Some of the things have come true! This episode is when Labour was still in power?

[@59jalex]

Poor Paul Merton. He could not hide his dislike of Boris and repeatedly tried to humiliate him. He failed miserably on that score. Boris has the ability to make fun of himself, he doesn't need Merton's desperate attempts.

[@beenaplumber8379]

Anyone know the original air date? Approximately?

How did you get a leopard to wear a pair of slacks?

[@andrewsmith5619]

Every time they cut to Stephen K Amos he looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He was obviously uncomfortable and out of his depth. The look on his face said 'my career is over'. I felt sorry for him because he is actually a funny guy.

[@Brownalebelly]

I was with you until your last 6 words.

[@petertaylor4980]

He looks to me more like he's trying not to corpse.

[@ritz2467]

Huh. A 1 hour HIGNFY episode. That's odd.

it would be funny if we didn't know what happened later.

[@nickgreen5954]

Are coconuts a metaphor for a brexit deal?

[@RIXRADvidz]

the First...Boris hosting. and then whinging on about how he wasn't going to be treated like they did on this show...''the last time''...so they kept having him back. buffoonery at it's finest. satire so sharp the target doesn't even feel it or know it.

[@troumer]

I disagree and think you are greatly underestimating good ol' BoJo. He knew exactly what he was doing and exactly how it looked to most people. The "buffoonery" made him look non-threatening and gave him reduced accountability for all the lies and bullshit. When you consider the outright lies he told about Brexit--regardless of whether you were pro or con on the issue itself--it's unbelievable that he still has any sort of political career. By convincing people he's an incompetent cluebag, he's also convinced them not to hold him responsible for "little mistakes" that would have ended other gov't careers. It's 100 % calculated. Rees-Mogg is doing the same thing.

[@RIXRADvidz]

I was hoping he was just a genuine idiot who had been lucky at every turn and ended up in his seat, but I'm afraid the darkness is stronger and yes, his every move, his every word and deed are a calculated effort to form the public opinion, thus keeping him in the spotlight, whether he holds an office or not. quite scary actually.

[@MajorSeventh]

"satire so sharp the target doesn't even feel it" Yeah, Boris was so thoroughly deflated that he never worked again....

[@5Andysalive]

if only his entertainment value that got him into he other jobs were any actual qualification for them...

[@Theguy5117]

Looking back at it there are so many cold takes in this episode

[@justinrose1512]

Stephen Amos on mogadon

[@kun1ish]

Did Amos get paid for this? He hardly uttered a word.

Does the UK still at Trump?

[@gillianr-w8720]

Stephen has no idea what is going on and tried to make a funny comment, he thought, which everyone ignored including the audience.
