It's absolutely true. If you get no clothes for Christmas in Iceland, you get eaten by the Yule Cat, a huge, black and vicious catmonster. Also, naughty children get eaten by "Gryla", a nasty cannibalistic hag. Icelandic christmas legends are seriously good fun.
Damn I love it. I have two black cats who's first Christmas is this year. I got to remember that 😂😂. Absolutely love it. Much better than stupid Krampus
WOW!! Thanks for the flashback, Helgi! Now I remember why I always give my kids a bundle of socks and an outfit for one of their Christmas gifts! I'd forgotten about the Yulecat being the reason behind the clothing gifts I received each year, as a child... The legends are best heard while eating hallmooner cookies!
Starting to think the rest of the world should chip-in and get Iceland a giant SAD light. You're lovely people, but even for folklore, your legends are grim.
I laughed so hard at the Prince of Wales and Camilla voices that I threw up all the vitamin supplements I had just taken 😃 I wish Hugh would do the voice overs on many more episodes 🥰
@@Master_Petes_Theater To be fair he's been honing his craft for decades. I first saw him in 'My Hero', and by that point he'd been doing comedy for yonks.
20:27 my brother and I actually did get electric toothbrushes for Christmas😅. He liked it because his old one's got a crap battery and I like it because it's black.
Apparently, turkey is really hard to get in Japan. And around Christmas time, you gotta book at KFC a month in advance because EVERYBODY wants to eat at KFC for Christmas.
The ad exec would came up with that campaign must be worshipped as a god in the industry. I'm a little surprised the strategy hasn't been tried elsewhere. "Macca's for Mum's Day in Melbourne". "Taco Bell for Tu Bishvat in Tel Aviv". I can see why KFC avoided the third K sound in their slogan, though. Come to think of it; is that what the Japanese think the West does for Xmas dinner? Is it some sort of elaborate counter-mockery for what we did to sushi?
Its hilarious when someone quotes Wikipedia as a source🤣🤣🤣 love this!! "Take a wild fucking guess" 😜lol Dara "special man with special powers" bwahahahaha Ed
The very INSTANT that Dara let loose the words "2nd unhealthiest dinner in the world", I thought that's right baby, here in America we're #1! we're #1! lol holy bologna I'm so ashamed to be from here
Sorry to see another random attack on Wikipedia. First heard that “joke” at least five years ago and it wasn’t either funny or true then. I have yet to find an example of Wikipedia being wrong these days, although I am sure it was wobbly to start with.

He's not acting too good. The indifferent, almost bored, persona is part of his act. Less than 30 seconds later you literally see him smiling and laughing
@@rebelraccoon9018 That's very interesting, because Milton also often doesn't laugh at other people's jokes, and yet you've drawn entirely different conclusions for him based on the same behaviour. Why might that be?
I was just about to say that. The video was good till he popped up. The guy only has two talking points in his "comedy" as pointed out above. I had the misfortune of seeing him open for Milton Jones years ago.
@@3108dd what do you mean "without brexit?" did something happen to the timeline? did we all dream Brexit? no, it happened, and it had consequences, and many of them are worthy of ridicule. as for racism, i'd like to see you try solving that one for good. those two things are not going anywhere mate. so I'd say hitching your comedy wagon to those two is a winning strategy.
It was a joke, genius. Interesting that the only negative comments here have both slated basically the only brown comedians to appear on the show, and both on completely ridiculous grounds. A less charitable person might find that suggestive, as might someone who notes how bitterly you complain about Brexit being mocked.
So let me get this straight. If it's all black people, then you don't complain about diversity. But if it's all white people, then you complain about diversity. You do understand how you are reading race into everything....
@@saoirsedeltufo7436 your point Falls flat. There have never been that many black comedians in the British Empire. Maybe they simply weren't funny. Maybe they did audition and it failed. We don't know. What we do know is that these people are very very funny.
@@mikeggg5671 British Empire? What century are you living in? There’s plenty of funny comedians of all races, the thing is that white blokes get far more opportunities than minority comedians
It's relatable comedy it's not for the easily offended go watch Peppa Pig 🐷 it's more suitable for your sensitivities. Have a great day, loosen up a little.
Just do some digging on Frankie Boyle. You'll begin to like him. The sad truth is that the world we live in dictates that people often need to engage in very unkind or damaging things in order to get a voice or an influence. His talents meant that there was no two ways around that. His work since shows that he never meant any of it.
I can never get enough of Hugh's impersonation of Camilla
It’s legendary
It's up there with his Charles "Is that cheese?"
Genuinely never heard her actual voice so as far as I'm aware, that's exactly how she sounds.
Sounds like venom haha
I wonder if his throat hurts afterwards. 🤗🤗🖖❤️
I think that Bruce Willis joke by Frankie is possibly my favourite ever by him. Purely because it was clean and therefore really unexpected.
I love that for someone with such brazen, cutting humor, Frankie's got the actual laugh practically of a child
In a tiny way it's a shame his rude jokes get the most attention, because many of his clean ones are gems hidden in plain sight.
"Which country's Christmas dinner has the most calories?" "Oh, take a wild fookin guess" LOL
That's right... CANADA
I can't actually believe the UK's is that bad - it's just white meat, veg and some stuffing. What are some people eating?!

Can you give me an email address for Gryla? I'd like to speak to her about my neighbours' children........

That Toothbrush / Plaque setup was absolutely amazing.
10:48 so rare to see Milton break character, amazing!
13:00 "I'm meant to give you this, I don't know why. I don't care"
Sums up Christmas in a nutshell 😂😂😂
Milton’s Auction Man was sheer brilliance❗️❗️❗️
Don't drink when Camilla comes up!
I almost drowned myself with carbonated water! :D
Andy’s Boris speech joke has aged so well. He still says that now
Love it how Milton keeps everybody else laughing just for fun.
I laughed so hard at the Prince of Wales and Camilla voices that I threw up all the vitamin supplements I had just taken 😃
I wish Hugh would do the voice overs on many more episodes 🥰
How dare you not include Hugh's 95% answer: "Is it: How sure am I , Merry Christmas, that this answer will end up in the Christmas compilation"
These compilation programmes are normally series specific so I suspect this wasn’t the series in which Hugh made the comment.
Having now watched more of this, I have realised that this is a mixture of series.
I therefore am in full agreement with you.
"Camilla" sounds like Darth Vader suffering from laryngitis! 😂😂
I always think "Boris the Spider."
@@tygrkhat4087 Oh, that's true, too! Good one! 👍😂😂
I've heard Hugh's version so often that when I once heard Camilla herself speaking my brain just couldn't process it!
@@decodolly1535 That's funny! Speaking of Hugh, I find it remarkable that the quality of his humor and jokes hasn't declined over these many years! 😁
@@Master_Petes_Theater To be fair he's been honing his craft for decades. I first saw him in 'My Hero', and by that point he'd been doing comedy for yonks.
Hugh is a fookin LEGEND
1:01 We've definitely been learning that from 2020 onwards.
2021 wasn't any better than 2020 for a lot of people, this really helps.
Laughter, THEE Best Medicine.
That's not a glistening owl with antlers - It's a Great Horned Owl!!! 😂 What a hoot! 🦉 🤣

1:01 Damn, this joke held up amazingly well.
Darrell Bree is my favourite host of the show
I miss Hugh's voiceovers!
Haha the Boris joke!
That Nerf Gun catch!!! Well done , Fairplay
Ed: "Then *SHOOTS* us!" 16:29 😆😅
Russell: “Get in!” 😂 Oh *BUMMER* I must say! 🤭
The closed captions are funny too, they don't quite understand the irish accent of Darrell bree,lol
Milton is great
I die at the Camilla voice. Every. Time.
Russel Howard just making up all that stuff about his wiki page
Hugh Dennis 😀😀😀😀😀
Man Sarah and that guy were a strange couple. Great for their comedy tough.

Is Russell's offer still open?
Why did you stick my dvd in the turkey James...? 🤨🤔 I'd have to say that's pretty weird science...!

"You can't say that for every answer Nish"
He can, and he does.
Can someone explain the Bruce Willis trouble at Christmas joke
The Die Hard movies take place at Christmas.
One Fifth of this was funny.
is there going to be a new season this year? I'm addicted and am not afraid to admit I have a problem.
Simpler times
Wikipedia is so heavily policed it's more accurate than the Encyclopædia Britannica.
The fact that sarah and john broke up on Christmas day tho...oof.
1:03 aged well
Wikipedia said Darth Vader was in Star Trek for three months
Poor James at gig
In the first 5 minutes, what's the blond comedian's name?
If you're referring to the man on the far right of the right set of chairs, that's Russell Howard.
@@mathesonkamin6067 thanks man!
So did we just leave out the payoff on 1/5?
14:28
FRED?!!!
I am now so old- I’m disappointed that wasn’t in
Obama looked young there
I wonder why they aren't still together.
I want to tour Jessica Alba as well..
Sarah and John were dating/living together
And broke up right after that appearance together.
No 2021 ?
I hear that Ed Gamble is a diabetic. That explains all of his jokes.
Holy ads batman.
Now that Russel can't turn on the christmas lights in bath, he can turn on a toaster in the bath :-)
That Milton Jones part was so dead
