Thank goodness Brian was born in the 20th century. If he'd been a Viking chief or a medieval king, he'd have conquered half of Europe just by shouting at the enemy!
@@Strublet-e7k Hislop and Merton prior to every season appear on various shows to promote the program. One of the usual questions is about their most memorable guests. Brian is usually number one.
Brian Blessed was the finest and funniest of all the HIGNFY guest presenters. His humour and sense of fun cast a shadow over the rest of the cast. He absolutely stole the show when he appeared.
The phrase "National Treasure" is too small to describe Brian. Watch him in the Kenneth Branagh film of "Much Ado About Nothing". He can play Shakespeare without trying to steal the scene, BB and Richard Briers together is a delight. It's hilarious and the actors all get past the Shakespeare language "barrier" to make an extremely entertaining production. Brian as a teenager trained alongside a fellow Yorkshireman, a certain Patrick Stewart and starred with him in I, Claudius

Brian laughing at his own jokes is just too wholesome. You can see how much fun everyone is having in his company, truly a legend
Brian Blessed is a national treasure

Paul: “Have you always been shy?” 😂😂😂

Perhaps he was other of those things in his previous incarnations!
He was
He had a son called Edna 😂
Chiswick! Fresh horses!
@@SamuelBlack84🤣
He was the Pirate King in _The Pirates!: Band of Misfits_
Brian: (politely) Shut your face! 😂
They didn't include my favorite clip of him telling the sh*t story from his climb up Mt. Everest. I howled with laughter.
That was on Qi I think and not on HIGNFY. I may be wrong though?
@@gaskellr44 it was the other BB HIGNFY episode
@@bunnybismuth ah, I know I heard it somewhere, but couldn't rem where.
@@gaskellr44I think he told it on both shows
@@A-small-amount-of-peas Really?
Those 2008 and 2013 programmes are a riot - please get Brian on there again!
“Yes, it’s me!” As if we could mistake you for anyone else. 😜
5:03: *"ARE YOU GAY!!?"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:05
My world is a better place with Brian Blessed in it ❤
Getting a Flash ad during the video, can't escape Brian 🤣
It's actually a Brian "sound-alike" who does the Flash ads, it's not Brian himself.
@@argyess really? Had no idea. Thought he was doing them, was happy that he was able to still make some cash from it all these years later
Paul still calls Brian the top most entertaining guest..
Tom Baker and William Shatner tied for second.😊
How would you know that?

Dean cain would be funny
We need more Brian Blessed hosting HIGNFY.
Imagine Brian Blessed and Tom Baker jointly hosting HIGNFY!
The ultimate comedy host pairing 😃👍
Oh my dear Lord, that would be great!👍👍👍
Priceless performances. The man is off the leash...
I just loved him threatening Gerry Adams!
“Gordon’s alive!”
Finally, the clip compilation we've all being waiting for!!!!

Brian Blessed loves playing the part of Brian Blessed!
Mad as a 'box of frogs' but I love his charisma 👍
It's half past eleven pm stuck on a bloody horrble 3D modelling job, thank you Hat Trick this is getting me through it with a smile...
Brian is the best host this programme has ever had
The funniest video I have seen in years. Brian Blessed is an absolute HERO!
“Are you expecting a flood?” 😂😂😂
I’ve got a “Flash” dust magnet advert in the middle 😂😂😂😂😂 briannnnnnnnn
My god!!!!!!! Absolute class from the master!!!!!!!!!
Why on earth the BBC haven't tried to get him to host full time is beyond me.
They cant afford him lol
It’s an occupational hazard, Paul and Ian and the crew would be risking their hearing working with him every week 😂
That was well worth a watch even though I've seen them before. The guy is either a national treasure or mental!
Eccentric 😊🇬🇧
Both?
Yes.
Protect this Man! Protect Brian Blessed at all costs 😂😂😂
Brian Blessed: World's most entertaining and inexpensive funeral director
I never ever ever will forget this. Love Brian so much!
Brian Blessed is a legend 😂
People in Scotland panic buying and putting in as much as £5.00. Classic - and I’m Scottish 😂
An absolute national icon. Stay weird Brian
I only searched for this episode on monday so thank you for reading my mind 🤣
I got an ad for this video for Flash with Brian's voice. Very good start.
Absolutely fantastic!
Just halfway through Brian’s autobiography, which is absolutely fabulous
I've just finished listening to it on audible. It might be a cracking read, but I doubt it's the same without him shouting in all the right places!
Brian blessed, the man is an absolute legend.
thanks for compiling this together, i didn't think anyone would bother at this point in time
I laughed all the way through this clip. Absolute national treasure !
A really funny guy his audiobooks are so funny as he does them so well.
Just brilliant - every second of it.
Please be this video a hint for next weeks presenter 😭
Brian B. Wonderful😂👏🏻👏🏻
Don't forget the bit where he called the Spartans gay and immediately got dished right back by Alan Duncan
And what was your name in Z cars?
Dished? (*Dissed).
@@SashaGrace94”Fancy Smith”
Brian is one of a kind.
That Bin Laden joke was actually pretty good from Ken
So much for posting
PETROL!! WE'RE RUNNING OUT!!
wish he could present the show again!
Brilliant - made me cry with laughter! :)
Paul Merton's smile isn't something that we see too often.
Now that I’ve heard his voice: Grampa Rabbit in Peppa Pig really suits him!
His shouting is so entertaining you forget his speaking voice is so soothing
He's a national treasure, and a hoot
14:13 - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 [Calmly telling motorists what’s happening with the fuel crisis]
We need Brian Blessed back on HIGNFY ASAP!
thanks for this 😄
Marcus Brigstocke must be the most joyless individual alive.
Top class !
Here for all of this but especially 10:02
“Very bad taste, I’m so sorry” 😂
Bring back Brian!!

literally offering everyone he was talking about out for a fight! 🤣
Love Brian such a fine actor and also very funny 😂😂😂
Brian B.'s appearance on QI was just as hilarious!
His large mouth is for DEVOURING the scenery without a crumb left.
No one has the hosts laughing like Brian.
That Gordon's Alive!
"I've got terrible wind..."
Love brian . Full of life and very entertaining and interesting guy
Gordon's ALIVE?
That man is a national treasure.
Hilarious, absolutely hilarious.
Thank you 🥰🇬🇧
This man is the reason I laugh when there’s a petrol crisis.
I can still hear his "Clayton" voice in Tarzan😂😂
Blessed remains the funniest host ever of HIGNFY. And Merton is the best foil here.
*GORDON'S ALIVE!!!!*
Extraordinary transition at 8:41
Absolutely love Brian - he's a national treasure!
15:56 - I’m pretty sure that decanter was being used by everyone, Brian
Grampy Rabbit!!! 😂 Love this man
A legend.
Eternal comedy gold (its endless)! 🎉😃🥰😍💘💝💖
The weird thing was watching this and then the Flash advert came on with Brian Blessed doing the voice over.
Having a bad day? Put this on in random places 14:16
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is there the jimmy carr Anne widicombe episode somewhere?
15:56 what does he say after the Lynx prisoner joke?
Very bad taste, I’m so sorry

If humans have one Brian will find it.
everyone thinks they are a comedian, they all think they have it together.. until this guy walks in.
Every line a smack, every smack a solid hit
Had Brian been Prime Minister during in the war, AH would have surrendered in '39.
Brian Blessed is basically the Greek God Pan
