For me it was during the London riots. Not the riots themselves, but the online response to it - the most popular facebook event for it in the US was "A prayer for England", which encouraged everyone to pray for all of the people caught in the riots. The most popular facebook event in the UK was "Operation: Cup of Tea", which designated a set time for us all to "calm down and put the kettle on".
Thank you Russell for giving us Flo and Joan. I have been a fan of theirs since they burst on the scene. They sing everything I am thinking, and make me laugh at the same time. Such brilliance.
A lot of people are aware of the issue sadly the focus of this year has not been human rights in Asia that, I think, is the tactless point @ellis hall was trying to make that doesn't make this person a nazi just a person who doesn't express themselves very well. On another point comparing someone to early 40s Germany without any sort of context shows that you don't really understand the concept of tolerance.
Meanwhile, in 2075 - Teacher: Alright, today we are going to be learning about COVID-19! To start us off on this topic, we will listen to this fun little song--
As a person living in nz... life's great. Parties, concerts, weddings, nature walks and the problem city that is causing lockdowns for everyone else in the country :D
It's a shame about the excessive profanity. I think Flo and Joan are brilliant, and when they swear here or there in a song it's fine. This went a bit too far.
My mum laughed until she cried at it, then shared it with her brother. He's a long-haul trucker, and their dad was a firefighter, so we're used to colourful language in this family. ;D
Hiya Russell, I know you probably won’t read this, but I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my favourite comedians, and watching your performances has always made me laugh. I hope you continue doing what makes you happy , and have a very merry Christmas!
I'd like to say hi to the GCSE History students of the 2060s who are studying this as set source material for their project about the late Elizabethan era.
In 1942, Dame Vera Lynn brought us Bluebirds over The White Cliffs of Dover. In 1985, Band Aid asked Do They Know It's Christmas. In 2020, Flo and Joan said "hold my beer".
The further I got through this song, the more I loved it but the less I wanted to share it with my family
Yep
I sorry we have such different families
My family's messed up enough that I shared it with them and they loved it.
🙌
Literally the same
Kids in 2035 are going to use this as a way to remember history lessons

'I invited them to sum it all up'
Me: This can't be that accurate
*Song plays*
Me: JESUS CHRIST HOW DID YOU...
Some say this song shall be listened to for generations to come. A historical masterpiece
When kids learn about the coronavirus in a 2075 history class
Lots more people will say so in a week! I'm trying to transcribe it now.
@@annatabner8459 They won't have history classes by then. Only NewThink.
It will be forgotten by Easter
It started off really good, but the end is already outdated. Overall still good, but not a historical masterpiece
The sequel to "We Didn't Start The Fire" took a dark turn...
Don't lie, you've watched this at least twice now
I watched it 3 times in a row when they released it on their channel.
And the rest
Yup
Not yet, but it just finished and I'm going to now.
3 times :D
Hear me out, next year,
Harry & Chris & Flo & Joan
The most ambitious crossover In history
I think that's all I've ever needed in life
We need

This song was like a roller coaster. Much like this year. Thank god for intelligent people to makes us smile through shit
This needs to be the national anthem and we will love explaining it to our grand kids and their grand kids why this is our national anthem now
The Azkaban bit had me shrieking with laughter, this song is amazing 😆
I also had to laugh 😂
I cheered so loud at that
These women are amazing 🤩
Flo and joan ❤ 💕 so eloquently sung, between this and John oliver blowing up a huge 2020 I dont think anyone could top this. Well done ladies.
Thank you Russell for giving us Flo and Joan. I have been a fan of theirs since they burst on the scene. They sing everything I am thinking, and make me laugh at the same time. Such brilliance.
They made a song about 2020 and never said COVID or coronavirus. That’s impressive
True, but they exactly didn't ignore it either - the vaccine, New Zealand, NHS claps and masks were all mentioned.
I absolutely adore these women, they are so funny, love all the songs they write, I listen to them on spotify everyday!
As an american I needed this
Best song of 2020🔥🔥🔥🔥
FINALLY, SOMEONE LEARNED ABOUT THE CHINESE CONCENTRATION CAMPS!
We all know about it just couldn’t give two fucks about it with the problems we’ve got first

2020 summed up perfectly.
This song is delightful- unlike the year.
Everyone loves it when it was posted 5 seconds ago 👍
Honestly, it’s worth finding all their other videos on UA-cam, they’re so damn good.
Love them!
Ive listening to this so much, subscribed to Flo and Joan 👍
The little thing she did with her eyebrows at the end...am I in love now?
Loved this when I saw it in the episode. So here just to re-watch it again! 🙌
This could easily be played again for 2021…
That is the best song I have ever heard in a long time
Well done. Hit almost everything.

Wow we got the only honourable mention
I have a cousin lives out there I'm so jealous. I should start researching the requirements for family visas 😆

That didn't wear well. A nation down the shitter.
Best song ever !!!!!!
It had surprisingly more stuff from the US than I expected! It’s brilliant!
They are so good!
Can't wait for 2021!
Brilliant as always
I really needed that. Thank you so much from the disaster formally known as the USA
i mean formerly known as…god i can’t think straight anymore ……..HHEELLLPPPPPPP

Don't underestimate your mother.
Brilliant as always! And darnit they look good 😍😍😍
This is my first ever post/comment. You deserve a medal
Feckin love this so much
Sums it up nicely. Thank you Ladies.
Look forward to it.
BRILLIANT
Totally nailed it.
I don't think it was sweary enough, and they only mentioned the nazis once.
They didn't even mention gen z tattooing a nazi hate symbol on themselves
@@kricket5000 Genuinely never heard about that - was it '88'?
@@MahouKat no I forgot the name but it was a z with a line through it, they didn't realise it was a hate symbol until the Internet called them natzis
@@kricket5000 it’s a swastika
Oh no sorry, the tattoo is the wolfsangel symbol
This song is my new favourite thing in life 🤣
if victoria wood was here shed have adored this
Couldn't help but think of her during this song!
Definately. Its very much in her style
Yes!
Yeah this is very much in the style of Barry and Freda. I think the piano part during the long note at the end was a little nod too...
Hiya Russell, I know you probably won’t read this, but I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my favourite comedians, and watching your performances has always made me laugh. I hope you continue doing what makes you happy , and have a very merry Christmas!
Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing song, laughed the whole way and all true
SEEMS LEGIT!
Yessssss!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Bravo
Kids in the future are totally gonna refer to this in history essays.
Yay something else to be a fan of.
Finding out they also summed up 2016 in song was a damn highlight honestly.
Ridiculously talented 👀
Getting big Harry and Chris vibes from this.
Seemed like they watered that down a bit - when are they going to perform the no holds barred, uncensored version?!
FUCKING AMAZING!!!
Sharing bloody everywhere
Wooo
As an American I would like to say not a word they sang about us is at all wrong. January 20, 2021 is going to be one for the books.
Need a new version for 2021 please
As a key worker I 100% agree with that line.
Just Commenting for the algorithm 💚
Awesome! Feel free to question our prime minister. In my view, you're welcome to join the team of NZ!
I am actually going to move the New Zealand!!!
God i wish that were me
Kia Ora, Haere Mai, Welcome 😊
