He's a genius. All over a naked spud. He destroys the whole retail marketing with mockery and ridiculte. Never has ranting been so cutting. And that glorious Welsh accent makes it so musical.
I've enjoyed Rhod Gilbert for years on radio and TV panel shows but for some reason, I've never looked for his standup stuff until now..... Oh, blimey - I feel a YT binge coming on !
I love American comedy. I really do. But I wish we had the substance that British comedians have. It’s just a whole other brand of comedy. I have English/Welsh heritage, and it’s funny, before I was ever made aware that fact, I had been infatuated with Great Britain since I was young. Couldn’t tell you why. As soon as I learned of it I was just drawn. I just love the history, the architecture, the culture, the regional dialects, etc. I always thought I should have been born a Brit. Well, I suppose I was, just an American born Brit. Don’t get me wrong, I love America, and I know I’m an American, but we are all just immigrants, after all. One day I will visit every bit of Britain that I can. I digress. The comedy. I’m just drawn to it. It speaks to my sense of humor. “Taking the piss.” We just have a different brand of humor here, and though I can appreciate it all, nothing holds a candle to the British sense of humor. I cherish it. There’s nothing like their standup, sketch shows, panel shows, etc. I love you bastards.
Best skit I've seen since the scene in Fawlty Towers where Basil is trying to convey the name of the horse (Dragonfly) to Polly who is in turn trying to tell Sybil.
So glad I watched the joke about the tooth brush literaly the video before this one😂😂 This is too funny. Had to pause & go back 10 secs to gain my composure & catch one or two of the lunchlines that I missed from laughing so hard🤣
Surprised the shop doesn't sell loose potatoes TBH, but I agree with him :D What a waste of packaging! "Of course people don't like Loose Potatoes, watching 4 potatoes sit around discussing the menopause is only marginally more interesting than the bloody human programme" XD XD
As a South Welsh man that doesn’t speak Welsh, I sound Welsh but can’t even speak my own language, North Walians speak Welsh and sound fucking Scouse… I love Rhod Gilbert… we are moaning, whinging bastards in Wales. But we just shimf like fuck and moan but just get on with it… Wales should have an Olympic event called “The Moaning Bus Stop” 🚏 because we’d get gold all the time. I left my bike outside the shop, came outside… and there it was… gone!
Of course, this is comedy, but he's right, why in Earth does everything have to be packaged and repackaged and often repackaged again in layers of plastic, cardboard and styrofoam? For our benefit? Bollocks. You could easily do away with most of it.
It's just more stuff you can charge for. Having packaging means you can involve more companies in the production. A company makes a styrofoam plate for, let's say, a penny. Then sells it to the company that manufactures the product for 2 p. Then they sell the product to retailers, charging one pound for the product and 3 p for the packaging. Then retailers sell the whole thing for two pounds. And, depending on where you live, you might get VAT on each of those stages, bringing up the total to 3 pounds. Then you have to throw all the useless packaging away and you have to pay the government to dispose of it, and because the amount of grabage is artificially inflated the government fucks you up with waste taxes. It's for the benefit of those who work in one of these industries, as they get to have these useless jobs. Except they then have to buy all their essentials from retail, and piss away money on useless packaging. That's consumerism for you.
Andy Merrett because he was using examples from his anger management diary I imagine all the jokes would be the same because all the situations are the same... being pissed at the world for not making sense
As someone who works a service job, there's something about the soul crushing nature of the work environment that makes you defend it against all logic. It's like subconsciously if you agree that the bullshit foisted on you by the higher-ups is indeed bullshit you think the entire place will collapse around you and you'll be out of a job.
It's kind of funny, I understood the Yorkshire Chipper reference because Looney Tunes had a character named the Shropshire Slasher, who himself is a likely reference to the Yorkshire Ripper
Tesco Express is the brand name for the smaller Tesco stores located in urban areas, which have a more limited choice of goods available. You can buy loose, unpackaged vegetables at their larger stores. Is what he was trying to say.
Brilliant! hahahaha where is the egg and cress / prawn sandwich bit??! anger management great western railway with the travling chef?!!? aww can't find it anywhere! pure comedy hahaha
This made me think of the amount of physical and verbal energy some comedians expend... then you have someone like John Bishop who hardly breaks a bead of sweat!
As funny as it is ... and it is 🙃 - there's a desperate cry for normality/logic in our life behind this act which makes perfect sense. Respect to Gilbert for the courage to shout it out loud. Peace on Earth - Let's Think More 🤟
Nope. He wanted to get a tat for the first time but wanted something ridiculous and not the same as everyone else...So spur of the moment he asked for a spud...

"no they don't, you did that" is still possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard
I’d say it’s tied with “I like my potatoes like I like my women: single and stark bollock naked”
He's a genius. All over a naked spud. He destroys the whole retail marketing with mockery and ridiculte. Never has ranting been so cutting. And that glorious Welsh accent makes it so musical.
"You could get arrested. For what, separating potatoes?" Tea all over my bloody top, haven't laughed like that in a long time 🤣 🤣
"A pan of mash and a suicide note" gets me everytime
Same here
We need more unique comedians like this who leave the cliches aside and come up with their own totally weird stories and jokes 😂👏🏻👏🏻
He didn't come up with it, it's true xd Just like James Acaster stories haha
Yeah I agree. The likes of Jason Manford aren't funny
Not once was gender or race mentioned. Bloody great.
The self harming potato just killed me!
"Start peeling himself every time things get a little bit difficult" XD
killed the potato too...
That's why there's 2 potatoes, 1 for moral support..... lmao funniest thing I've heard in years.
"Pound of mash and a suicide note"
He's so chilled and talks in quite a quiet voice when not on stage
Mwahhah
'and you go and put the last of your tuna mayonnaise.....all over a pissing melon' LMFAO
Yes waste all your tuna mayonnaise because there weren't enough labels on the potatoes
This guy is a comic genius, one of the funniest comedians out there today
True comedy at its best. Love Rhod!
No they don't, you did that!
Priceless
I've enjoyed Rhod Gilbert for years on radio and TV panel shows but for some reason, I've never looked for his standup stuff until now.....
Oh, blimey - I feel a YT binge coming on !
Sorry they come in packs of two. No they don't, you did that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 x
"It's one potato, two potato, three potato, four. Not two potato, four potato, six potato, pissing eight" XD
I think the reference is the joke of a pack of two potatoes, thus he changed it to 2 , 4 6, 8
virginia jarrell well done, genius.
This isn't Noah's vegetable rack
mashpoison1...it is in Wales hahahahaha
Libby Rees I can see that!! I just navigated that on my new toothbrush!!
Cant believe ive just watched 8 minutes of a bloke rant about a potato 😂 amazing skit 🙌
He does rant better than anyone else I know!!
Went to see his new show 'The Book of John' last night, OMG I thought I was gonna die of laughter, he was so hilarious!! Defiantly worth seeing
His 'buying a duvet' kills me every time.
joey diaz my man, rhods not even close. Hes still great though
David Mitchell is a good ranter too
Don't know I have my moments. Like a lot of people I know where he's coming from.
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. I p**s myself watching ANYTHING to do with this top geezer.
The energy that he expends...wow! I get wound up just listening to/ watching him.
Rod Gilbert my absolute favourite hysterically funny comedian, love him. Completely cracks me up with laughter!!

Sinule
Fuck! Now I need to watch them all again.
Flying tart 🤣🤣🤣
Best comedian ever!!!!! The best I've seen live.
Is that why they sell them in twos, for morale support so one can talk his mate down from the edge of the pan😂😂 tears streaming down my face
"Bend over and say hello to King Edward" 🤣
‘Pan of mash and a suicide note’ is where I died. 😂😂
So glad I watched the joke about the tooth brush literaly the video before this one😂😂
This is too funny. Had to pause & go back 10 secs to gain my composure & catch one or two of the lunchlines that I missed from laughing so hard🤣
Me too
Lunchlines. Freud would be proud.
I worked in retail for years and I wish I could of had customers like this, it would have made the job so much more fun
after all. Man's just did an 8 minute rants about wasted packaging... I love it.
Rhod Gilbert gets more laughs per minute on these rants than any other comedian in the UK or USA.
“Bend over and say hello to King Edward” 😂😂
Yes it’s his unique thinking isn’t it 😂 every line kills me 💀 ❤
Ah love Rhod, even though I laugh myself to an asthma attack every time I watch him🤣
Surprised the shop doesn't sell loose potatoes TBH, but I agree with him :D What a waste of packaging!
"Of course people don't like Loose Potatoes, watching 4 potatoes sit around discussing the menopause is only marginally more interesting than the bloody human programme"

“That doesn’t frighten me!! I’ll be out in six months with a good lawyer!!” Laughed til I cried.

fresh food stores exist, the entire world isn't Tesco
@@zakatalmosen5984 I read your post in Rhod's voice

I suppose when your produce is shipped from 1000 miles away, they're a little worried about spoilage.
the Yorkshire Chipper...priceless
No one is as good as him, 10 mins of jokes out of that!
5:42 was the best bit. I love that he got really into it "a pissing... melon"
This is my favorite routine from Rhod ever! seen nearly every different performance of it recorded!
Could you point me to a radio 4 version which is cleaner so I can play at school
I'm from the east coast states and this is great comedy. Absolutely hilarious!.
I was in a real bad mood.. but now I'm smiling .. good job sir 👍
"That would be awesome if we needed the tray!"
That bit always has me in stitches.
If I was the manager I would be wetting myself part way through this rant lol

Thank you Rhod.....bloody legend....anger management for us all!!!
5:40 is absolute gold. Had me in tears.
Narwhalisation I was watching this in bed trying literally rolling around laughing at this part
This who show was hilarious!! I died I laughed so hard during the whole show
You should see the red hen one that one killed me

Harold Chipman, Yorkshire Chipper, Boston Masher.... Dead.
It's kind of funny, I understood the Yorkshire Chipper reference because Looney Tunes had a character named the Shropshire Slasher, who himself is a likely reference to the Yorkshire Ripper
Great remake of faulty towers. Love to hear him ranting about the view from a window in a Tenby hotel.
Thats what I thought!
I feel like 'Harold Chipman' went over the heads of a lot of the audience members.
'I like my potatoes like i like my women, single and stark bollock naked.' I laughed to hard i woke the neighbors.
I want to go shopping with him 😂😂
"... All over a pissing melon" fucking kills me every time!
Aah his "Anger Management" tour 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We do in the uk guys but tesco express are just small convenience shops,
Tom Parham what
Tesco Express is the brand name for the smaller Tesco stores located in urban areas, which have a more limited choice of goods available. You can buy loose, unpackaged vegetables at their larger stores.
Is what he was trying to say.
So weird to think this Tesco is my local if it's the one I'm thinking of 😂 I've stood exactly where Rhod Gilbert had a fit over a potato
The greatest rant you will ever witness in your lifetime
I laughed so hard I cried. Thank you.
Aww i just love rhod.❤
He really is brilliant and the best around.
The loose potato joke is great
NO ONE does angry sarcasm better!
This show also contains his rant about trying to buy a cheese and pickle sandwich in the buffet car.
If your wondering. He did enjoy his holiday with the one jacket potato.
"no they don't, you did that" omg I fucking died!
You didn't die. That's a ridiculous thing to say.
Brilliant! hahahaha where is the egg and cress / prawn sandwich bit??! anger management great western railway with the travling chef?!!? aww can't find it anywhere! pure comedy hahaha
that loose women reference made me choke
Bend over and say hello to King Edward!!
Rachie doodle 😂😂😂😂😂
Glorious
I'll never look at a baked potato in the same way ever again
At the end he said he had to buy two anyway. I guess he ate one, and used the second to film this.
Beeeessst comic
This is why Rhod and David Mitchell make mayhem on Would I Lie To You... either one or the other can destroy any subject😂😂
Poor manager!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is uncle Rhod coming for Christmas dinner this year? I'll take the jacket potatoes off the menu.
this guy is hillarious
This made me think of the amount of physical and verbal energy some comedians expend... then you have someone like John Bishop who hardly breaks a bead of sweat!
Rwy'n dy garu di Rhod Gilbert! We don't have this problem in America, but we do have a hot dog and bun problem.
Cary O Phil Len the government has that problem for sure. Not every American supports that decision though. 😊
Cary O Phil Len I agree, I hope one day it will no longer be an issue as well, peace to you too. :)
I think we have that issue also. 6 buns and 8 hot dogs. Just so you have to buy a second pack of buns.
Him and George Carlin should get an oscar for remembering all that stuff really.
Oh gosh, but I enjoyed that rant.🤣
Outstanding...
Contingency potato 😂😂😂
As funny as it is ... and it is 🙃 - there's a desperate cry for normality/logic in our life behind this act which makes perfect sense. Respect to Gilbert for the courage to shout it out loud. Peace on Earth - Let's Think More 🤟
Can I just say I would love a self-peeling potato
“I don’t want to home and find a pan of mash and a suicide note” pmsl funniest line ever said
I like my potato like I like my women, single and stark bollock naked. Just brilliant.
Brilliant!
Absolutely true!
Brilliant!
Fucking genius 😂😂😂
OMG sooo funny and true I couldn't stop laughing absolutely classic
Should have gone to Asda. They sell baked potatoes individually 😊
Legend.
Saw him at the Fringe live. Amazing
Is this why he has a tattoo of a potato on his left shoulder?
Does he have a tattoo of a luggage handle on the next shoulder?😂😂😂😂
wonder if this is the reason for his potattoo?
Yes. Or at least that's part of the reason. ua-cam.com/video/zzlPbWmy8MI/v-deo.html
Nope. He wanted to get a tat for the first time but wanted something ridiculous and not the same as everyone else...So spur of the moment he asked for a spud...
@@silvertounge6630 wrong
