HIGNFY - Bruce Forsyth - Part 2 of 4 (S25E08)

[TheIkaraCult]

this episode is just joyous from start to finish, and Play your iraqi cards right is the highpoint.

[DMaddox2010]

4.16 onwards Paul Merton is having the time of his life !!!! love it

[farje1]

He has now, and about bloody time too!

[leglesstheelf]

Bruce has really grown on me in this episode. I don't like him in Strictly, but his style of humour is great in this.

[DMaddox2010]

Paul's face at 4.23 says it all lol, Love this show !!

[AnnatarYoung]

"Please....this is satire!"

Aaaaaaaah Bruce, you're one TV personality I'm glad won't retire.

[RipCruncher1]

I'm 44 and Brucies been a constant ever since the early 70's with The Generation Game. In a world laughably full of forgettable so called 'STARS' who last 5-minutes before dissapearing up their own arses ~ Bruce Forsyth on the other hand IS and always has been the real deal. Pure class. LONG LIVE BRUCIE!!!

[mrbeanaswell]

Play Your Curds Right!

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

I haven't seen Paul looking happier or laughing harder on HIGNFY for many years!

[dharmaseed]

@LiekaQueenofDarkness Check out the one where Brian Blessed hosts, Paul doesn't know what to do with himself.

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

@dharmaseed Mrmm, I have seen that one... trouble is, I find Brian intensely and terrifyingly irritating. ^^;

[dharmaseed]

@LiekaQueenofDarkness I guess it is easy to see why some people would think that, as Brian DOES tend to be a little abrasive at times.

[MidlanderThe]

ive been waiting 14trs for the show to be like this!

[zomgbat]

please

[lloydjermy]

'please, this is satire'

[Kamon1]

The writers wanted to call it 'Play Your Kurds Right'

[Tamuartay]

Can someone Kill Bruce!

Or just force him to retire...

I'm off to stop being emo...

[kingchrisuk2009]

' I'm not sure this show can go any lower' hahaha

[FordPrefect23]

"this could be the finish of my career!"

we can only hope......

[FordPrefect23]

Still hoping and still hating voting censorship.

[dharmaseed]

Saddam could deploy waepons of mass destruction within 45 minutes, assuming America, Britain or France could send the chemicals there within about twenty minutes. How true, lol

[kisbie]

I have to say, I don't know why Ian Hislop considers Play Your Iraqi Cards Right as the 'no. 1 most tasteless' moment in the show's history, even if it was broadcast while the invasion was going on.

[EnigmaDrath]

"Please...this is satire!"

"You don't get anything for a pair!"

"NOT IN THIS GAME!"

Ian sat through the entire thing in puzzled disbelief, whereas Paul couldn't believe his luck XD Seriously, the Play Your Iraqi Cards Right segment is one of the greatest HIGNFY moments ever!!

[fritspas]

Play your Kurds right.

[lvlarky]

"play your kurds right"

u trying to act as if u made that up.

[fritspas]

nope, if that's how it came acros, sorry.

[CreepyBacon]

i did.

[dharmaseed]

You gotta love Bruce's facial expressions...

[chelseaclipper]

well......there was no chance of Bush being in there as they never used the Jokers in this game

[kilamonjaru]

I love Ian's look of disbelief during the card game, esp when the Audience are chanting :D

[warriorsfan19]

That's like American Card Sharks.

[Agentsub]

Nothing for a pair!

NOT IN THIS GAME!

[warriorsfan19]

That's the same way as CArd Sharks.

[plasticbudgie]

No wonder paul choose her as his guest! ide hit it :P

[tellmewatisavailable]

At 04.16, Paul is loving it while Ian looks embarrassed!

[chewblued]

re: brigstock - couldn't agree more..fucking tedious little fucker. gizstock has convinced himself that he's funny..just a middle class, uni educated, boring little prick who thinks comedy is about wordy monologues as opposed to telling funny gags

wanker!!

[FACTUNTHJU]

this would be perfect if brigstock was not on.could have put someone good on instead of someone trying to be funny by acting cool and cold,he is crap.....but i loved this show,bruce was fantastic

[AuntieRhonda]

lol Ian called this segment in a later episode probably the most tasteless thing the BBC had ever done lol

but tis rather giggle-worthy xD

[rainfallshard]

"Please!....This is satire."

He's funnier than I thought he'd be.

[egoslap]

Bruce = TV Legend

[loonytooner]

Loving the way the normally straight faced Merton is so loving this new host.

And the Brigstock is a dude! I love it when he's on.

[cheapy2006]

why hasn't this guy been knighted yet??

[EnigmaDrath]

Knighted?? They should give him the bloody crown!! He'd make a much more interesting king than Charles XD

[cheapy2006]

he MUST have goosed one of the lizzies in jest back in the '50s/'60s.

[PinstripeShirt]

@cheapy2006 He always seem to go quiet whenever he's on this show.

[africansunset1]

@cheapy2006 Because he's an arsehole.

[BobCassidy]

Whats up with Brigstoke? He seems very quiet. Where is jokes all a bit too strong?

[markus1357]

Just to let you all know, instead of "Play Your Iraqi Cards Right", the writers for HIGNFY wanted to call the card game "Play Your Kurds Right"

[cheapy2006]

just as well brucie was about to put a more professional/dignifiedd air on matters eh?

[Kill3rballoon]

@markus1357 yeah that was revealed on Room 101 when Ian also said it was "the single most tasteless item the BBC has ever produced"

[TomtheUSATiger]

@markus1357, why the name change then? Was it too offensive by the BBC standards?

[DMaddox2010]

@markus1357 Correct

[psychobollox]

this was fucking hilarious!!!!!

[19nimrod93]

With Bruce Forsyth hosting, it was either going to be amazing or awful. (It was amazing "this is satire")

It's so sweet how Ian leans to the side of his chair whenever something to do with popular culture comes up and I don't think I've ever seen Paul so happy.

[flossy100]

bruce is the best! What a pro!!

[collieennis]

bruce the the legend

[thefarmer01]

Bloody fantastic!
