Ugh, neo-Conservative Barbie breaking out the "You're not allowed to critique capitalism unless you live in a cave" fallacy. If I remember correctly, later that same episode she started talking about how everybody should stop being so mean to poor old Rupert Murdoch.
I'm not usually a big fan of Paul Merton but 5:56 was BRILLIANT. Usually such a period of silence after a joke like that shows that the joke bombed put it was so well put that everyone let it breathe.
And how is it that his name is a mixture of the first name and the color code-name of the antagonist from Captain Scarlet? *Conrad* Turner/Lefkon > Captain *Black*
Conrad Black is awesome, in the context of proper old-school evil. His physical look. His astonishingly perfect Canadian accent. Like if someone said to you "what is the difference between an American and a Canadian accent?" all you need to do is play a clip of Conrad Black speaking. I love real people who if you wrote them in a Creative Writing 101 class your professor would say "hmn, okay but a bit obvious don't you think? I mean 'Conrad Black' really?"
probably saw how it enabled Boris to con people into thinking he wasn't a mendacious liar and thought it might work for him, problem was he decided to do it after getting convicted.
Pretty wild how the woman at the end basically said having coffee from a chain store makes the protesters champagne socialists. Actually, they used to be champagne socialists until the financial crisis and then they were reduced to being starbucks socialists instead in order to make ends meet 😂

Not really. She was whiny, passive-aggressive, entitled, vacuous and not especially talented. The barracking was about her hypocritical attempts at self-promotion and simultaneous loud demands for privacy. I could never see why she was a celebrity.
She was a very insecure woman, largely due to her bizarre childhood, featuring lung, duplicitous and abusive parenting, who thought the only thing she had to offer was how she looked. In fact she was highly intelligent and a loving and supportive mother. Bob Geldof, who is no slouch, thought the world of her, even after she had left him, for someone who did not deserve her. She did not really value herself. And I agree, it is a sad spectacle, and I hope that if they watched it now, they would all feel very uncomfortable.
I am a great admirer of Ian Hislop, but why is it always footballers that are targeted, whenever anything controversial is going on? You don't hear any6thing being said to rugby, tennis or cricket players.
Given their nature they aren't iconic moments. I'm sick of that word being used to describe anything that's been on TV. Try memorable instead of iconic. For your homework consult a dictionary for the meaning of iconic and then get a thesaurus.

I wish someone would explain whether or not ti would`ve been better to leave Saddam in power and why nobody mentions how it was that Hans Blix accepted being turned away from possible WMD stores, so that they could be "tidied up".
The Qatari World Cup and Ian’s comment is considered one of his highlights? Really? The _real_ elephant in the room wasn’t that Neville was commentating in Qatar, Dear Ian, but it was the fact that the country with the appalling human rights has a trade totaling 8 billion pounds with the UK. As a regular viewer of HIGNFY I can assure everyone that they have never picked on that nor called for the trade to end. The World Cup was just an easy target and the guests took a cheap shot. Go after the big boys why don’t ya? But the Alastair Campbell part was fantastic…
Not easy to have a pop at the imaginary chief trade controller for the UK, but someone like Gary Neville (or any of the media personalities) had no business condoning the awful regime. They had the opportunity to do the right thing and use their fame for the common good, but took the money instead
@@KrikkitWarlord and so does EVERY Brit who does business with Qatar, to the tune of as noted. Why pick on the easy target? How about picketing BAE Systems who sell Qatar a lot of equipment? Keep your grubby hands off of my footy. That’s all I am saying. I don’t agree with the whole impose your culture on others but that’s neither here nor there.
@@Yankee7000 because they're a celebrity who has public outreach, because being a public figure means that you have an opportunity to affect change by using that fame. I agree that people shouldn't do business with Qatar, but does random Mr Anonymous Exporter saying no to a contract have any real impact beyond their own sphere? No. Someone like BAe is much more difficult to stop and you would need our spineless government to do something, which they won't. Sport is political whether it's football or anything else.
For me, Ian's iconic moments are the parts where he takes money to appear with Jimmy Savile, Jonathan King, Max Clifford, Clement Freud, Rolf Harris and Chris Langham.
By that logic anyone appearing with any celebrity who is after the fact found to have been a weirdo sex offender it’s ok to a snide comment from a seemingly self satisfied arsehole ….if you get me 😂
Ludicrous response. These people's crimes weren't revealed 'til much later, as you would realise if you weren't simply intent on libel. As for your 'touched a nerve' attempt at libel, get a life!
I wonder where Ian thinks the money came from for his education from a mother born in a tax haven and attending a boarding school and Oxford, his grandfathers middle name was Murdoch which is funny 😂 Ian really believes the British empire was built on goodwill to all man kind I guess
Hahaha Ian's almost resignation at the end before dropping that great line
3:25 Gary Neville bloody went to that world cup, and could have done what Ian said. Neville spoke bollocks about highlighting it directly
People and short memories.
He was part of the first treble
I lost a huge amount of respect for him over this

Ian is immense, Ross Noble has some serious wit, he managed to make Ian crease up.
With Ross you never know what's gonna come out of his mouth
I liked the part where Ian said "the Tories" and tapped his pen on the desk.
Is it a dolphin in a bathtub?

Boyish, coy look

At the time she wasn’t. Wasn’t long before she went proper off the rails

The Paula Yates episode makes for an incredibly uncomfortable watch now, a group of men bullying her led by Ian, nothing iconic about that.
Not really. She was whiny, passive-aggressive, entitled, vacuous and not especially talented. The barracking was about her hypocritical attempts at self-promotion and simultaneous loud demands for privacy. I could never see why she was a celebrity.
She was a very insecure woman, largely due to her bizarre childhood, featuring lung, duplicitous and abusive parenting, who thought the only thing she had to offer was how she looked. In fact she was highly intelligent and a loving and supportive mother. Bob Geldof, who is no slouch, thought the world of her, even after she had left him, for someone who did not deserve her. She did not really value herself. And I agree, it is a sad spectacle, and I hope that if they watched it now, they would all feel very uncomfortable.
