I feel for the poor guy finding his folks sex tapes. When my mother in law died, I started helping my husband transfer THOUSANDS of photos into the computer tossing the actual photos after. Vacation shots, pet shots, shots of family graves (it's a weird thing they did, several times a year they would go and taking photos. I never understood it, were they expecting it to move?) but one afternoon.... I found a package of about 2 dozen photos. All home grown porn. Totally starkers. Horrifying to now know my father-in- law rocked mutton chops AND was a freaking tripod! We won't even go into the photos of my mil. Folks - take it as a warning. Go thru family boxes with care. And a therapist on standby.

And I mean in and out a lot, it's a weird style some guys have gravitated to for a hundred years or so. Picture really REALLY thick sideburns that ~almost~ turn into a beard but stop at the chin. Sometimes grown out around the face to some rather astounding sizes. Toss in he was a skinny white guy with an afro and it was one heck of a look. (I'm trying to concentrate on his hair/face choices. I'm still scarred from everything ELSE in those photos!) Hope that helps.

it's because they aren't really that funny. You laugh not because the joke is funny but because you hear others laughing and it's your nature to copy what others do in order to fit in. Something truly funny will make you laugh without the sound of others laughing too. So this is a good test of that.

In fact, if you'd read the posts the OP stated they were funny (which I agreed with), it just felt off because there was no audience laughter. It couldn't be any clearer, yet somehow you managed to get them wrong. This is not a good test as your hypothesis is bollox, to put it frankly, as you are working from a false assumption.

I know it must be so daunting with no audience. I think you and the virtual audience did amazing here. Can't wait to come and see you again when we can. Thank you for just been epic dude lots of (v) hugs :) 🌟

Yo russell ur a trooper bro still making me laugh even if theres no audience

Thanks Russell for continuing to find creative ways to entertain us all

This doesn’t work without a audience. Why can’t Russel film the show in one room & maybe next door is a room full of specially picked people for a audience !!

Yay more videos

😆Fabulous, even w/o the crowd & laughs. Btw, Russ? The word u were looking for was: rugged. The lovely Scottish man that looked like he “lived in the woods”? He’s *rugged*. 😉

All these people saying that it's weird without the audience, but I just love this chance to see how fucking funny the British public is.

I feel so bad for the Howard's guy! Mate, there is nothing to be ashamed of! It's the 21th century and over 40 years old man accepted their love for cartoons. Nothing is embarrassing anymore! (unless it's criminal of course!)

It is strange without the laughs, but now I feel like I'm also on the call/chat with them. :-)

absolutely brilliant!

I thought it was kinda weird to have laughs edited in but after seeing this, I'm glad they started doing it

I looked like as if my teacher at school decided to throw in a pun and the whole class just sits there.... he responded as the teacher would after interviewing the first person.
