It's good that people can be hateful and vile. At least we know that the speech here is free and not the watered down shit we're forced to listen to from our mainstream media all completely terrified of offending even one viewer in case the whole bloody system goes up in flames. In case you didn't realise, being a "wet liberal" makes you worse than Stalin to those who like to be spoon fed morality, or some shit. At least you have an independent opinion, great example for your offspring.
Love scrapheap,as I own a rover p6 from 1974,and on scrapheap ive seen a rover the same colour and model as mine on the scrapheap being plundered for parts,it made me sad.
Anyway life goes on RIP rover p6,lol
Once again love red dwarf, see ya chuck,pal love sir, love your work.
shame you get hatefull comments. There was a good picture I saw that pretty fitting and it went something like "nice guy + annonimity + audience = hateful arse". it's just the internet, I'm afraid :(.
Why would anyone C**T off Kryten???sorry Bob,how sad is that,on here your just one of us ..another YT user...keep them comming mate..and buy the phone lol
I get the impression that those who are genuinely venomous on "da interwebs" take it all far too seriously, so it becomes an almost territorial issue rather an academic one (almost as if by vouchsafing an opinion they dislike you are encroaching on their territory, and it must be defended). either that or they're just cocks :) . Keep up the good work, Robert!
in the spirit of 'making do' i have a second hand copy of roberts new book for sale on a certain online action site just search for robert llewellyn sold out
On the subject of "haters" - the poor souls are just struggling to climb the rungs of the evolutionary ladder, they're only trying to get your attention so you can give 'em a bunk-up lol.
I cant beleive people spend their time dissing you, Rob!! How could they hate you?? Ur awsome!! Anyway, I just wanted to give you a NICE comment, to lighten up you're day!!! Keep up the YouTube-ing, and keep us updated and laughing!!!! Luv La!!
Omg haha, very sorry to bombard this video with multiple comments..but the more I watch the more I feel the need to say how awesome it is. ^^
I love the bit how the person giving you advice got you more than the ones going 'ffffaaacking cunt!', haha. It's unbelievable how some people give others advice when they don't know them, so I do agree.
Ah I agree with you Rob...the Internet can be a very alarming place when you see people spin their top and just let fly with verbal abuse. It's really not nice and its sad so many people let their anger get the better of them instead of just going to another page if they don't like it.
I like your example of of the swearing people and then the 'that's not a very nice thing to say' voice after. It reminded me of Kryten's voice when he's getting sad at Lister liking Kochanskie, haha. ^^ 5 star
I think a thing is people are more prone to abuse people over the internet because the chance of meeting that person is next to nil, or they see that person as faceless, and so provokes things
The internet is actually packed with idiots. There is literally about 0.00000421% of useful information, the rest is spam and porn. There is probably an even fewer percentage of worthless people.
Anyway I am looking forward to the book and also whatever the new Dwarf you mentioned elsewhere will be.
you managed to spend a YEAR without shopping?!! HOW! HOW did you manage this incredible feat! If I go a week without buying something I feel impressed with my restraint!! I am looking forward to reading the book, pick up some tips I hope! having read a number of your books now (autobiography and fiction - i did enjoy the man on platform 5 by the way) I have high hopes for it!
This is the opposite to the naughty sad abusive souls who have been so very rude... be happy. Be as delightful as you are. I am so grateful that you exist. A thousand joys to you and all those you love. What can I say, other than I send you all possible blessings...
Well I'm all for free speech an that,but people that dont have anything nice to say should just refrain from saying anything,unless its constructive ctiticism.
Of all the people who broadcast themselves on youtube,llewellyn has got to be the least undeserving of profane remarks&least offensive guy on here.Rob dont even pay those people no attention,they dont deserve your time or worry,they do deserve some attitude readjustment which I'd be more than happy to help them with;-)
Any one who sends messages that are evil and absalutaly stupid about Robert or Red Dwarf Suck ass! You obviously have no balls and need a well diserved bitch slapp!!!
The whole comments malarky is very odd. The Gruppets video that you were in was featured a few months ago, and likewise i don't like to remove comments, unless it's spam, but one guy kept posting saying 'Stop deleting my comments! if you don't like what i have to say then at least let others hear it!' It was so frustrating (in a petty kind of way) because he made it look as if i was deleting all the bad ones and keeping the good.
Hey,I found you through a friend(in y-t terms at least)called 'kurtgnu', I don't know if you've been featured or what, but it's great that your here,look froward to hearing your views on stuff!
Well done Robert, I don't know how I came to view your 'stuff' on youtube, but I've been working my way through them all. I was online when you posted the last one, but I was very controlled and worked my way up from the beginning.

Those who make comments like that need to shop for happiness, there is nothing else for them. I hope Robert you have found the true meaning behind buying less, it is not really about the buying of less but about how to be really happy. Commercialized happiness is just meaningless. People and friends mean to most. Good luck with the book.
WOW, can't believe people left comments like that, and yes, I would say THEY had some sort of problem.
My daughter was on a train on Saturday, from Cambridge, and a French women ranted at a girl sitting next to her, for wearing flip flops, poor girl didn't know what hit her. there's a lot of it about, I often tell people to get a grip on reality.
great to see a clip of car pool, can't wait to see more.
I can't believe how rude some people can be. After watching this I went to your first 'Making Do' video and read some of the comments. I was quite shocked at some of them. They're the sort of people who just want attention, or are bored. Best thing is to ignore them even if the comment is posted using CAPITAL LETTERS.
Anyway, thanks for the information on your recent activities and your new book. Can't wait!
and the driving... kids might be learning. LOL. Mind you my bad habits are no better. Yes and will Australia get the book? If so I will save my pennies.
I have just spent 2 days watching all the making do's. Interesting stuff. Its amazing how things will just migrate towards you if you are thinking about them despite not having the reddies to buy.We are make do and menders in my family too. My daughter owns a shirt I bought myself in 1980. Your kids sound like they have a lovely life to me,the critics are usually the ones who wish they had such lovely kids or who's kids look on enviously at yours.
I came in on "making do" about a month late, entirely by accident and went on to enjoy it greatly! being in the US its always nice to hear some of your "english-isms" they remind me of home!
Thanks for all the work you put into the youtube experience.
Hi Robert - I am a big fan , thanks to Red Dwarf and Scrapheap Challenge - etc. I'm always interested in what you have to say - and keep the vids coming!
You should ignore the 'haters' they are just trying to get noticed in flood of comments on your video, the should all DIE DIE DIE!! FUCKING CUNTS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE KIDS THE BASTARDS!!!!!
people can be mean, mostly 12 year old kids with nothing better to do, aint it always the way,ignor 'em :D
anddddd,tell us anyway haha,surely if youre in it,you ought be allowed to tell us things...secrety things that make us go,ooh, like saying you have a book (and if you mentioned that before i missed it,i apologise) and you swearing :O :O
ignore the idiots... they just enjoy the fact they can leave nasty comments and upset people and not risk loosing their dinner money. Hopefully now the school holidays are upon us they will find something better to do with their time.
When i was a kid, there was no internet but i can remember engaging in destructive activities (mostly in respectable places like abandoned buildings) setting fire to things and the like. But these days kids are too fat and they prefer to vent on the internet.
This is the first time for me to reply to one of your videos. First, never mind those assholes who talk crap. And secondly, I think those people who say you shouldn't have children, they shouldn't have children. Good luck with your book! Wish I could see your current projects, but I don't get much Brit TV here in Illinois. Not even Red Dwarf, which is one of my favorite shows. I think I'll have a cup of Earl Grey...
The anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in people. It's very disappointing, but it also is indicative of their true selves. People who do that are so often also the ones who lie, cheat, steal, and abuse, or would if they were brave enough to risk getting caught.
It truly is a disappointing discovery since the internet came along that so many people are rude, obnoxious, and selfish.
Hi Mr Llew another great post.I think the reason people write things with such hate and venom is they get a personal response and a feeling of power. People have found this approach works,probably because we so often overlook the kindness in the words thankyou. In your clip for carpool were you really driving? As I noticed there were several times you were not holding the driving wheel. Sorry if I have that wrong. Hope you enjoy your iphone and never loose or break it. Oh And THANKYOU
aren't even angry they just do that to maybe relieve stress or something? Or they just feel like their bigger people online because nobody can see their identity, whereas in real life they would probably be really quite... Something like that, But anyway See ya keep up the good work =)
BTW those nasty comments i doubt are from genuinely angry people, most just get a kick out of writing something that is so unnecessary and absurd that it's just funny to them.
!!DO NOT GET A I PHONE!! they suck :( they use a data transfer system only slightly better than G.P.R.S. The hay oldy way to get internet on your phone. They don't do 3G:( Only get a phones that have 3G butt, otherwise you're wasting your money. And as for the negativity towards you in the form of comments, not good at all to be a pr**k to anyone like. Good luck with all your projects lol ;)*****stars
The reason U don't meet people calling you a cunt in the street is because the people who say it over the internet don't do it because there's no anonymity in it. Being called some kind of profanity on the internet is just something you have to get over, unfortunately. I linked your woodland video to my girlfriend hoping that she'd get the hint I want a Huckleberry for my Macbook for my B-day, but all she said was "he's so cute! I'd sit across from him on the train!"
Agree on the swearing, anyone who swears when arguing is loosing the argument.
Although I occasionally swear in real life (very rarely at someone), I write very politely on the internet. I only swear if it's funny.
I disagree with you on a lot of things (I'm far from a liberal myself), but I don't think I've ever gone beyond "discussion" status when commenting on your videos.
Rude comments are largely due to anonymity. It has a strange effect on some people, particularly teenagers. Given that it's so inevitable on youtube, they don't bother me anymore.
Good points all round Mr Llewellyn, particularly about the uneccessary nasty comments that float around youtube like a bad smell in a public toilet.
I can't believe people take the time out to write such smeggin useless and pointless insults, they should at least find a good reason for it and correct the spelling !
Unfortunately, 'haters' exist everywhere where it's easy for them to do so. I think it's interesting how, for the most part, Facebook appear to have managed to control the number of spammers/haters a lot more than MySpace, YouTube and other sites that appear to have a serious problem with them.
The sad reality is that most of them are 12 year old kids with severe attention deficit problems - thank goodness the majority of commenters are kind and respectful people with an IQ larger than 10.
I think the 'haters' are the result of the depersonalisation (if that's a word?) of the internet in general. It's easy to take it personally and who wouldn't?
These are the sorts of people that just want a reaction, so sometimes the best thing to do is not to say anything and just to ignore them...
People who are called Hater's here on YouTube should seriously get help or something , i mean if all they do all day long is go onto YouTube a start throwing there frustration and anger on any ordinary good YouTuber like myself or Robert who hasint done a thing to them , then really they should be banned from YouTube and anything which requires a Computer or Laptop for the rest of there sorry lives .... the SMEGGERS !!!! .
I'd love to buy your 'making do; book but I'm 'making do' this year, unless you're giving them away. Look forward to your new TV series - hey you're not the new Dr Who are you? - you'd be fantastic. Thanks for a great video
These "haters" as they've been come known have been around on youtube since day 1. Nearly every vlogger gets them, and some of the better known ones on youtube can even get death threats. Please please dont take it personally or let it put you off youtube. Its a sad fact of life these people exist but its nothing personal aimed at you really. They're usually just after attention. P.S To counter the haters I'll just say you've always been one of my favorite "celebs" :-)
You're so right, about the rude offensive people that write nasty things on here, they obviously have no life and are really sad, and only write to provoke a reaction and a fight. They're only attention seeking. Still love your vids and will look forward to the new stuff coming up.
Maria McErlane, she's a very funny stand up and journalist I used to work with, she used to be the voice of Eurotrash, a British TV show. Remember that? 'She's also done lots of work with Jo Brand, Graham Norton etc.
I really enjoyed this video for so many reasons including the filthy language which gave me fond memories of Derek and Clive. YouTube haters are just the online equivalent of chavs hanging around on the high street or the rancid dog shit you just stepped in! As long as you scrape it off and leave it on the pavement it's not a real problem. Looking forward to the book and the telly stuff. Gawd bless ya.
You don't meet people like that in real life, it's just that certain people turn into hateful little shits when you give them internet access and a keyboard, I dunno why, they wouldn't do it in real life cause they're cowards. Don't take it too much to heart.
i hope the thing your not allowed to tell us about is the Red Dwarf movie!! but if not anything you do is awesome so crnt wait to find out what it is!
That's SO unfair. Apart from anything else I am really grateful I have them, I know I am lucky. I love my kids and spend so much time with them. They are bigger now and are embarrassed by my very existence, one being a teenager and the other so mature she may as well be. Anyway, thanks for giving me a second chance.
You are obviously a terrific father with great kids. We need more of that not less, truely. And never mind the trolls. My father, who worked on the WELL (early internet group) in the late 80's told me once that foul mouthed trolls were there even then and noone knew what to do with them, but they havent gone away and never will. Thanks for your vids, can't wait to see carpool!
As long as you do your best raising your kids, you have every right to have them. I like your videos, I like to see you on television and I'm subscribed.
I hope this explains to everyone that my previous comment wasn't meant to be mean.
P.S. Thanks for the reply, I'm sorry that they're embarrassed of you... They shouldn't, you're funny and good at your work!
I hope that your book will be available in the states whether its online or in the book stores. I want to read it!
As for the annoying people that like to just drag others down. That's just wrong. I am glad that you are so mature about it. With not letting it get to you too bad, and really feeling bad for them. Because you are right, they must not be living a good life if they decided to just try and make you feel bad about something.
I look forward to the stuff you do next even though I probably won't be able to see it living in the states without a tv other than my computer. JUNKYARD WARS!
Dont let those insecure cunts get you down.People type really shitty comments in a blink of an eye they dont necessariy sit and stew on their thoughts and then post a well thought out reponse.People are just poised ready to pounce on other people.I wouldnt take much from that.People are idiots.
Is that how sad you life is? so sad that you have to celebrate the fact that you managed to type something on a public website before anyone else did? There isn't a prize for that you know.
I would say 'get a life' but I'd rather you hang yourself, I think it would be for the best for me and for you.
Bobby, you describe yourself 'shallow and simple' eh?, that sounds like an amazingly accurate description of the iphone too :D

Its amazing how things will just migrate towards you if you are thinking about them despite not having the reddies to buy.We are make do and menders in my family too. My daughter owns a shirt I bought myself in 1980. Your kids sound like they have a lovely life to me,the critics are usually the ones who wish they had such lovely kids or who's kids look on enviously at yours.

Robert! How do we pre-order your book?
I came in on "making do" about a month late, entirely by accident and went on to enjoy it greatly! being in the US its always nice to hear some of your "english-isms" they remind me of home!
Thanks for all the work you put into the youtube experience.

I been getting my fair amount of abuse recently.
My theory is, its their immature way of trying to get a response.
Rather than making a clever and inventive response, its a lot easier for the little prepubesants to just say YU SUK!

When i was a kid, there was no internet but i can remember engaging in destructive activities (mostly in respectable places like abandoned buildings) setting fire to things and the like. But these days kids are too fat and they prefer to vent on the internet.

This is the first time for me to reply to one of your videos. First, never mind those assholes who talk crap. And secondly, I think those people who say you shouldn't have children, they shouldn't have children. Good luck with your book! Wish I could see your current projects, but I don't get much Brit TV here in Illinois. Not even Red Dwarf, which is one of my favorite shows. I think I'll have a cup of Earl Grey...
Take care, God bless. 8^)

bobbyllew 3 years ago
The anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in people. It's very disappointing, but it also is indicative of their true selves. People who do that are so often also the ones who lie, cheat, steal, and abuse, or would if they were brave enough to risk getting caught.
It truly is a disappointing discovery since the internet came along that so many people are rude, obnoxious, and selfish.
GuanoLad 3 years ago
Hi Mr Llew another great post.I think the reason people write things with such hate and venom is they get a personal response and a feeling of power. People have found this approach works,probably because we so often overlook the kindness in the words thankyou. In your clip for carpool were you really driving? As I noticed there were several times you were not holding the driving wheel. Sorry if I have that wrong. Hope you enjoy your iphone and never loose or break it. Oh And THANKYOU

Yea the people who leave those comments probably
aren't even angry they just do that to maybe relieve stress or something? Or they just feel like their bigger people online because nobody can see their identity, whereas in real life they would probably be really quite... Something like that, But anyway See ya keep up the good work =)

BTW those nasty comments i doubt are from genuinely angry people, most just get a kick out of writing something that is so unnecessary and absurd that it's just funny to them.

The reason U don't meet people calling you a cunt in the street is because the people who say it over the internet don't do it because there's no anonymity in it. Being called some kind of profanity on the internet is just something you have to get over, unfortunately. I linked your woodland video to my girlfriend hoping that she'd get the hint I want a Huckleberry for my Macbook for my B-day, but all she said was "he's so cute! I'd sit across from him on the train!"
I never liked her anyway!

Agree on the swearing, anyone who swears when arguing is loosing the argument.
Although I occasionally swear in real life (very rarely at someone), I write very politely on the internet. I only swear if it's funny.
I disagree with you on a lot of things (I'm far from a liberal myself), but I don't think I've ever gone beyond "discussion" status when commenting on your videos.

Rude comments are largely due to anonymity. It has a strange effect on some people, particularly teenagers. Given that it's so inevitable on youtube, they don't bother me anymore.

Good points all round Mr Llewellyn, particularly about the uneccessary nasty comments that float around youtube like a bad smell in a public toilet.
I can't believe people take the time out to write such smeggin useless and pointless insults, they should at least find a good reason for it and correct the spelling !
IceP2006 3 years ago
Unfortunately, 'haters' exist everywhere where it's easy for them to do so. I think it's interesting how, for the most part, Facebook appear to have managed to control the number of spammers/haters a lot more than MySpace, YouTube and other sites that appear to have a serious problem with them.
The sad reality is that most of them are 12 year old kids with severe attention deficit problems - thank goodness the majority of commenters are kind and respectful people with an IQ larger than 10.
AlexKitch 3 years ago

noodlemasta 3 years ago
I think the 'haters' are the result of the depersonalisation (if that's a word?) of the internet in general. It's easy to take it personally and who wouldn't?
These are the sorts of people that just want a reaction, so sometimes the best thing to do is not to say anything and just to ignore them...

People who are called Hater's here on YouTube should seriously get help or something , i mean if all they do all day long is go onto YouTube a start throwing there frustration and anger on any ordinary good YouTuber like myself or Robert who hasint done a thing to them , then really they should be banned from YouTube and anything which requires a Computer or Laptop for the rest of there sorry lives .... the SMEGGERS !!!! .

These "haters" as they've been come known have been around on youtube since day 1. Nearly every vlogger gets them, and some of the better known ones on youtube can even get death threats. Please please dont take it personally or let it put you off youtube. Its a sad fact of life these people exist but its nothing personal aimed at you really. They're usually just after attention. P.S To counter the haters I'll just say you've always been one of my favorite "celebs" :-)
Trellium 3 years ago
You're so right, about the rude offensive people that write nasty things on here, they obviously have no life and are really sad, and only write to provoke a reaction and a fight. They're only attention seeking. Still love your vids and will look forward to the new stuff coming up.

You don't meet people like that in real life, it's just that certain people turn into hateful little shits when you give them internet access and a keyboard, I dunno why, they wouldn't do it in real life cause they're cowards. Don't take it too much to heart.

That's SO unfair. Apart from anything else I am really grateful I have them, I know I am lucky. I love my kids and spend so much time with them.

You are obviously a terrific father with great kids. We need more of that not less, truely. And never mind the trolls. My father, who worked on the WELL (early internet group) in the late 80's told me once that foul mouthed trolls were there even then and noone knew what to do with them, but they havent gone away and never will. Thanks for your vids, can't wait to see carpool!

As for the annoying people that like to just drag others down. That's just wrong. I am glad that you are so mature about it. With not letting it get to you too bad, and really feeling bad for them.
