HIGNFY S30E06 Boris Johnson, Sara Cox & Phil Hammond

25 November 2005

[@IoEstasCedonta]

Ever wonder who'd be PM if Angus had kept his nose clean?

[@larvottowolfsheim6890]

05.17 “This is the conservative leadership challenge to see who will be our next prime minister.”
Ian Hislop: “We all know it’s going to be you Boris”

[@leslogs1960]

He is now!!!!

[@IoEstasCedonta]

Off by three...

[@tillyt4054]

Larvotto Wolfsheim In 2006 I joked with my son that Boris would be PM one day ! I was joking ! 😂😂

[@adzaaahhh]

Hislop, prophet as well as a legend. Plus I reckon he'd make a pretty great Prime Minister himself, not that he'd ever stoop to enter into politics.

[@merckxy54]

@@tillyt4054 He is a joke

[@timan2039]

I'm watching this 14 years old episode for any of Ian's Boris burns.

[@paulstewart1182]

A definite thumbs up from me on this one.

[@DeanMoxley87]

EDIT - I was right 👍
Oh look it’s the next PM
Elected by HIGNFY

[@geoffstewart6580]

"Wer all know it's you Boris". 14 years too early.

[@mhuntuk]

Keep watching till after the credits. You’re welcome.

[@RIXRADvidz]

Hey! I like historical ..uh,..hysterical documentaries!! they cushion the blow of modern life. Thanks to Bowman Hath for bringing the goodies as always. Many, Many!, Appreciations.

[@steptull]

Worthwhile viewing in January 2022…

05:15 Famous last words.

[@jonathanport5002]

Wonderful

[@RBenjo21]

How refreshing to actually have a Prime Minister with a personality.

[@theravenhaslanded321]

How'd that work out for you?😂😂😂

[@RBenjo21]

@@theravenhaslanded321 Better than Rishi.

[@markloveless1001]

I just learned Boris was born on the Upper East Side (Of Manhattan; for our British friends) and is an American citizen. That was unexpected.

[@theravenhaslanded321]

Paul can always make me laugh 😅 "I sneezed" bet you made a lot of friends that day Boris!😂😂 Kudos to the writers for the MC😂😂

[@Instasamps]

Our PM lady’s and gentlemen 👌

[@Noises]

Just checking to make sure you're a right winger.
I could tell by how you spelled ladies. Right wingers are almost always illiterate.
(except the millionaires-funded-by-billionaires who lead your cult. They can spell just fine. The oiks who elect them, not so much.)

[@bnap3221]

Ladies*

[@enigmadrath1780]

20:31 "I think that chap's excuse that he was deaf is looking very thin!"
Hate him as a politician, but love him as a host. Wish he'd gone into show business full-time. He's got great comedic timing, and a hilarious combination of oafish eloquence.

[@chrisp4170]

As a clueless chat show host, Boris is very amusing. However, why on earth didn't he stay doing this? Is this how cabinet meetings will be organised from now on?

[@M1ggins]

Because being in charge of the country is better for his ego.

[@tenkloosterherman]

Obviously.

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

of course and drinks, and parties

[@amandhanani9937]

Same boris who is now PM and tackling chinese flu... Danger of the show it comes backs to bite them 😂

[@kathowed]

Boris + HIGNFY = fun-filled chaos. Sadly, Boris + No. 10 = chaos, without any of the fun. Good luck to you all.

[@stephenbuttle7379]

You sometimes forget what a comic genius Sarah Cox is

[@TMPreRaff]

Comic GENIUS?

[@duncanarrow]

Back in the day when HIGNFY was actually funny.

[@carl7587]

Just picturing Ian Hislops face the moment Boris became PM .. Many a truth is said in jest ...

[@pappyreeves6988]

Hip Hip Hooray ! It was a dream that came true...for once..Boris...Prime Minister !!!!!!!!!!!

[@harryfaber]

Some dreams leave a warm and vaguely comforted feeling, then there are those where demonic shapes chase you through a mangrove swamp that seems to grab your legs and try to pull you under the water. If Bo-Jo is a dream, can we all have a Bobby Ewing moment, and soon?

[@theravenhaslanded321]

Lol looks like that turned sour😂😂

[@bnap3221]

Boris wearing a double cuffed shirt, that’s rare

[@653j521]

I love Bush's self-deprecating sense of humor. I didn't think he was good as President but his fellow former Presidents enjoy hanging out with him for charitable causes etc.

[@CaptainPrincess]

awful leader, but decent guy
shame how often thats the case
leadership positions seem tailor made for shit people

[@apache16789]

What a superb PM Boris is going to be!

[@andrewmckenna4563]

Maybe this is where Jeremy Corbyn has gone wrong, he hasn't chaired HIGNFY!!!! But then he cant as he has no sense of humour!

[@WezMan444]

Prime Minister BORIS Johnson

[@rvllctt871]

" just crazy stopping people knowing the facts ... the only way is for the thing to be published" says Boris ... so he should be right behind Assange ... but is not ... zero integrity.

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

and the Sue Grey report

I 'm sure I've seen this bloke on the tv recently.

[@pauledwards8275]

My objective is to survive.

[@ferraridinoman]

Good old (PM) Boris!

[@davidhopkins8967]

2005: Isn’t he funny! He’s a brilliant MP. But he’d never get into power, he’s a joke!
2019: How do we stop him?!?!

[@GrahamA63]

He’s a cartoon character- along the same lines as Dame Edna - a made up character with nothing to offer at all. I don’t get his popularity and the thought that this twonk (or any of the Cons really) will be PM after the the destruction they’ve caused to real lives, the NHS and the real economy, just so they can stuff even more money into their own and their rich mates pockets, is beyond belief.

[@653j521]

Sort of the way people thought Trump was hilarious until....

[@GrahamA63]

Twisted Helix Policies and what they actually do is what matters. Labour’s policies make sense for the real economy and for ordinary people. The Cons have failed at everything for decades (Blair was a Con too) and we need something different not more of the same right wing bullshit.

[@corbeau-_-]

@@quantumhelix8668 a sad state of affairs... Rubbish politicians all 'round.

[@corbeau-_-]

@John Doe that sort of is the problem xD 35-45% does want him to run the country and the rest is hopelessly divided. Similar stuff for Boris...

[@NickName-ms3zc]

Vaccines 1st question 🙄

[@petercraig6802]

You have to admit, Boris is a bit of a laugh .... unless he's running your country ... : (

[@lynneivison5773]

congratulations boris

[@SakSakSakit]

Oh have the times changed 5:10

[@tillyt4054]

Wow ! That’s definite flirting going on between Boris and Sarah ! Trust me ! I’m a woman ! They fancy each other 😂😂😂

[@bnap3221]

How is your gender relevant? 50% of the couple is male and 50% female.

Sam Ludendorff oh piss off and pick a fight on Twitter with some other moron

[@brettb9194]

what was she saying? 11:48 lol

[@Noises]

*Shorts the Pound*
Hope your new PM turns out precisely how I expect he will.

[@harryfaber]

He did. He should have stuck to TV appearances and dumping wives. That said, did any one else actually want the job?

[@marksteelejr]

he had to wait 14 years but he became pm

[@udm1736]

Ian was right 14 years ago

[@safodanso]

I sooo love Boris Johnson

[@theravenhaslanded321]

Lol yes so do those who never made it through the pandemic while he partied

[@davidrees570]

God f***ing help us

[@adzaaahhh]

Let's face it, Boris isn't the best Prime Minister, but at least he's a good sport. Plus we all like to laugh at, err I mean with him.

[@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810]

Well the start of this plays a LOT differently in 2021 after Boris's incompetence has cost 100,000 British lives.

[@gordonrotherham2500]

I blame you at HIGNFY. You gave this turd way to much credibility! When he's PM you should be lined up with his other enablers!

[@garrybaldy327]

If I was sat behind a desk next to Sara Cox in 2005, I'd now be feeling the full force of Operation Yew Tree.

[@boyturtleuk]

Great as a comedy topical news quiz show presenter, considerably less convincing when trying to pull off the same stunt as Prime Minister!
