Apparently a US media site has attempted to do a version of HIGNFY. I showed up in one of my media feeds. I clicked on it thinking that the real HIGNFY had started the season early. I can't finds the words to accurately describe how terrible, uncreative, and unfunny it is. Even abysmal does not adequately describe how bad it is.
@worldcitizenra as a US citizen who loves the British version there's nothing wrong with the US version. They even kept the formula of one political and one satire team captain. You just don't like americans which I totally understand, leave the US version alone it's bringing real news to more people than most of our news outlets.
This version is usually a bit better than the shorter broadcast one, but this one is much, much better than the one that went out. Thanks for uploading!
I'm so glad to see this back, and now the United States has our own version! They're a little rough around the edges because they're having to get used to the format but they are still giving reliable news in a highly digestible format as well as poking fun at the establishment.
I have to say, i was pleasantly surprised by Hignfy US. Roy Wood Jr. is funny and a good host, I looove Amber Ruffin and she's a good opposite to the other regular.
I gave you a thumbs up for the positive comment. However, I just watched one of the US shows. It didn't really poke fun at the establishment. Only Trump. Sorry to say I didn't find any of it funny enough to actually laugh at. It might take some time to find itself. It's not there yet imho.
Nope, they're the same quality you just don't like Americans. As a US citizen who watches World television I assure you the American version fits into the US media space exactly the same way the British one does in its country. The American show does what the British one does but for American audiences instead. You just don't like Americans which is understandable.
I think you have to give the US version some time to settle in. The first season of the UK version was clunkier than the show that it ultimately became by the mid-1990s
I like them both. American versions of British shows never work when they try to stick to closely to the original. I think the US version has done a very good job of using the concept, but letting the American comedians be themselves.
Cheers for posting this I love this show have watched it snice the 90s. I live in Dublin but I can't afford me T.V so the phone is my only friend 😅 so again thanks for the upload ❤ yup yup from Eire
I'm stunned that they're about the only public that's been made about Roger Law passing. I'm astonished that I haven't seen an obituary, considering his prominence.
ngl i was very surprised when the last joke included a picture of not only a giant hand statue, but also what looks like the king of sweden on the right? at least it looks like him
Even the Brits can't understand Bridges' accent. Nor does captioning. Nor do I. It is a shame, because he might be worth listening to, but we'll never know. Can not watch this three times over just because Kevin refuses to speak English.
Really? You appear to think everyone feels the same, but many have no problem with a strong Scots accent. I am Australian. I have no problem. Why do you blame him? Maybe your inability to pick up the patterns of different accents, (compared to average people, or people with a better understanding of accents), is the problem?
If the captions are appalling, I would suggest that is to do with yt being American. I have yet to experience a competent job of captions in English, for anyone.
If you don't understand an accent just listen for about 10 minutes once and it clicks. Dunno where you're from but I'm sure we bother to understand you, fair to expect the same.
That says more about your political leanings and closed mind. Ian is acknowledged as admirably, if unbendingly and annoyingly true to what he considers correct behaviour. On either side.
I’m fascinated by this. I’m from southern England and didn’t find anything he said difficult to grasp. He’s not using any Glaswegian slang or anything. Which bits troubled you?
The UK is indeed fortunate to have such a witty, clever and entertaining news satire programme.

HIGNFY? Bunch of ignorant boomers who think Ukraine is winning the war against Russia and injections saved us all. Such “clever” people.
@@worldcitizenraI actually heard it's surprisingly good. Now I really want to see for myself.
Thank you! I really missed this show.
Really? How many jabs did you get? This show is for MORONS
Thanks for the upload 😊
More Kevin Bridges, please.
So fresh and so clean!
Outkast fan here, thank you! 🎼🎶🎵🎧
This version is usually a bit better than the shorter broadcast one, but this one is much, much better than the one that went out.
Thanks for uploading!
It's the same with Q.I.
Love XL. Wish there was a TM XL
@@fizzy1922 yeeessss. Now you said that I want it aaaaaaahhhh
Very true. I have often thought the short, edited version just has the best jokes removed.
Finally! I was beginning to despair, but the gang is back! Now, if I could only master that Scottish accent...
I have to concentrate sooo hard to understand him...

They are the establishment…. They all took the jabs
I’ll have to give our US version a try as well.

It's not there yet imho.
The US HIGNFY is pretty damn tame honestly... but it's warming up. Hope they renew for a 2nd season.
Thanks I have been missing this
I've a feeling Ian wanted to comment on the Israel/Palestine situation.
Still a good episode. Thanks.
So pleased to see this show back.
Thank you!
Thanks for posting
National institute of Proctologists 😂🎉
Wonder if the panel knew the guy on the right is The King of Sweden 😊
This is SO much better than the new US version.

The US version comes off like some sort of Colin Quinn production. Stick to the original.

@@seaninterpop That's a fair comment 👍
Kevin is great in this.
Love his grin when Paul moves in closer

just a note - Rishi says there is a 'real buzz here'- he's in Birmingham, so that would be a big red buz or a yallow buz?
Love the 80’s music behind the first game
I'm glad to see the subtitles are getting better on Kevin Bridges accent.
Class.
you're back, thank gewd
In the end, the proctologist joke, the guy on the right is the swedish king!
I enjoyed trying to make sense of whatever Kevin was saying.
I'm stunned that they're about the only public that's been made about Roger Law passing. I'm astonished that I haven't seen an obituary, considering his prominence.
Paul's face at 25:50 is spectacular. He clearly doesn't... quite... know... where Ian's going. 😅
The American version of HIGNFY, is going to be dreadful. They don't have the ability to be witty, just crass
I'm ashamed to say this but I had to turn on the subtitles to understand Kevin Bridges.
24:08 marching through like a blind and deaf Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
I can’t believe nothing was said about the conflict in the Middle East
Everybody wants to rule the panel show
0:15: Is there anyone who might have a grudge against you?
I don't think they make continuous stationery anymore.😅
44:00 missed opportunity to say world's oldest tub of yoghurt found adjacent...
ngl i was very surprised when the last joke included a picture of not only a giant hand statue, but also what looks like the king of sweden on the right? at least it looks like him
I do need the subtitles when Kevin Bridges talks. Not being English I have a very hard time understanding him.
Kevin is not english! I'm neither english nor Scottish, but I understand everything he says
I’m Scottish and I have a problem with his accent and diction. Very annoying
I am Scottish and can hardly understand him.
What did host Kevin Bridges mean by "Hostage Dog"? I thought within the context, that it was a hot dog but Google was no help.
A sausage dog. IE a Dachshund
@@rogerjohnson6676 THANK YOU! And here I thought I could understand his Scottish accent.
That last picture, is that the king of Sweden on the right?
tbh "Feels for Keir' would have been a much better game.
@29:23
"... by Secret Service agents."
Have I got a Sausage for You? 😂❤
Why would anyone want to hurt Ian? He is on the side of angels and he fights the good fight. Fk those cowards. Paul and Ian forever.
It was a mechanical fault, not a bullet.
Well, Kevin, it’s easy to criticize but that horse was nearly free too right?
what happened to Ian?
Ad's every 5 minutes
Who's the bloke with Paul Merton?
Don't talk about the problem with sand
lol....why did he say sausages???
Sausages..hostages...close..😅😅
Sausages..hostages...close..lol
Breakfast buffet at the hotel
I have seen it suggested that someone tampered with the autocue
'Really clutching at straws trying to avoid talking about Israel here' Yup, that's not making the cut, Kev.
@joannetaylor999
Did you miss the part regarding the sausages?
Not very funny under a Labour government. Sounds more like apologists.
Someone please tell Kevin Bridges to speak english...
Even the Brits can't understand Bridges' accent. Nor does captioning. Nor do I. It is a shame, because he might be worth listening to, but we'll never know. Can not watch this three times over just because Kevin refuses to speak English.
Most Brits have no problem.

Hes perfectly understandable, get your hearing checked
If you don't understand an accent just listen for about 10 minutes once and it clicks. Dunno where you're from but I'm sure we bother to understand you, fair to expect the same.
Full of BS Hislop ,, a comedic figure dont take him serious on anything
That says more about your political leanings and closed mind.

Poor programme this time
I can’t under a bloody word that Scotsman says
The subtitles didn't help either - I gave up trying to watch this after 10 minutes.
Totally agree - extremely frustrating and ruined a usually excellent program for me
I’m fascinated by this. I’m from southern England and didn’t find anything he said difficult to grasp. He’s not using any Glaswegian slang or anything.
Which bits troubled you?
@@kurisensei I'm from Australia, and had no trouble with him.
