0:00:02 > 0:00:10This programme contains some strong language and adult humour.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Thank you!

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Hello! And welcome back to Good News. So what's been happening?

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Well, here's a tip - if you're interviewed on TV,

0:00:37 > 0:00:39careful where you place the microphone.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Is it me, or did this guy really sound like Kermit the Frog?

0:00:50 > 0:00:53- How do you evaluate that? KERMIT-LIKE:- Well, you know...

0:00:53 > 0:00:54LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:00:54 > 0:00:57The state is going through a complete reformation

0:00:57 > 0:00:59of the criminal justice system.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03If you look back at the last years or the current year...

0:01:03 > 0:01:06It's incredible, isn't it?

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Over on BBC South East,

0:01:07 > 0:01:10this lady wins my award for fake laugh of the week.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13There was hardly any time to think about it, to be honest.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Just, you know, started growing the beard, really!

0:01:15 > 0:01:17- FAKE LAUGH - Good to talk to you.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20LAUGHTER

0:01:20 > 0:01:22"Don't ever touch me. Don't ever touch me."

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Finally, this lady has to be the filthiest news reporter ever.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Is it me, or is she miming a blow job?

0:01:31 > 0:01:32My son was teething.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36He used to like to take the bits out of my vibrating toothbrush

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- and put it in his mouth.- OK.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42And just kind of sit there like, "Oh, yeah...that feels good...

0:01:42 > 0:01:45"That hits the spot. My gums are itchy."

0:01:45 > 0:01:47LAUGHTER

0:01:50 > 0:01:52HE MOUTHS

0:01:56 > 0:01:58The big political news was of course this.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02The Queen and dignitaries from around the world have attended

0:02:02 > 0:02:04the ceremonial funeral of Baroness Thatcher.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Her coffin was taken from the Palace of Westminster this morning

0:02:07 > 0:02:08through the streets of London.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12In a funeral with full military honours for Britain's first

0:02:12 > 0:02:13female prime minister.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Some people were sad...

0:02:15 > 0:02:19It's always very sad when people die.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21That was just... She was somebody special.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Some people, not so sad.

0:02:25 > 0:02:33Thatcher is dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! She's dead!

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Wouldn't it be great if she came back to life just to piss him off?

0:02:40 > 0:02:43LAUGHTER

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Luckily, the news interviewed a sweet old granny.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48I wonder what she had to say.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Don't you think she did any good?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Not a bit of good. Not a bit.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54I'd put a stake through her heart and garlic round her neck

0:02:54 > 0:02:56to make sure she never came back.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Holy shit, it's Frankie Boyle's nan!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- LAUGHTER - It's fair to say Thatcher was a divisive woman.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06The right loved her because she transformed the economy

0:03:06 > 0:03:08and reduced the stranglehold of the trade unions,

0:03:08 > 0:03:12whereas the left hated her because she ruined communities and condemned many to abject poverty.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Or, to put it in teenage speak...

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Some people are like, "Oh, she's great,"

0:03:16 > 0:03:18and some people are like, "Oh, she sucks."

0:03:18 > 0:03:21LAUGHTER

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Cheers, teenage boy!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Now we all understand(!)

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Mind you, think he's bad, have a look at Channel 4's coverage.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33They weren't afraid to focus on the big issues of Thatcher's reign.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34You were very close to her.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I remember the stories

0:03:36 > 0:03:38that she cooked omelettes for you upstairs in the flat.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41My recollection is, they were shepherd's pies.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43LAUGHTER

0:03:43 > 0:03:46And her apple crumble was the bollocks!

0:03:46 > 0:03:47LAUGHTER

0:03:47 > 0:03:52Still, wittering on about cooking is nothing. Did you see CNN's coverage?

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Of all the photos they could have selected to illustrate this story,

0:03:56 > 0:03:58look at the one they went with.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Lady Thatcher, the Iron Lady, has died at the age of 87.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04British reports say...

0:04:04 > 0:04:07LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:04:07 > 0:04:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:14 > 0:04:18"Shall we show her with the Queen?" "Nah, I've got just the photo."

0:04:18 > 0:04:20LAUGHTER

0:04:20 > 0:04:25Some people were so overjoyed with her death, they had death parties.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Thousands attended in places like Durham and Glasgow.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Fair to say it didn't exactly kick off here.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33There's currently a street party in Barker's Pool.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Our political editor Len Tingle is there.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39LAUGHTER

0:04:39 > 0:04:40"Where's everyone else?"

0:04:41 > 0:04:44One of the oddest details about the story

0:04:44 > 0:04:46is what she was doing before she passed away.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50She was watching dog videos on the internet!

0:04:50 > 0:04:52It's kind of hard to imagine, isn't it?

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Mind you, what a great way to go.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57I can't think of a better way to die than watching this.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02LAUGHTER

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Ahhh...

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Elsewhere in the news, Justin Bieber's been acting like a twat.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18The Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has caused outrage

0:05:18 > 0:05:21with comments he made at the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23The singer wrote in the guest book that...

0:05:27 > 0:05:29I'm surprised he didn't write,

0:05:29 > 0:05:31"It's great to finally visit

0:05:31 > 0:05:34"the home of the world hide-and-seek champion."

0:05:34 > 0:05:36LAUGHTER

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Imagine him in the Black History Museum.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44"Dear Martin Luther King, I had a dream, too.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46"It was about a frog who was really bouncy!"

0:05:46 > 0:05:48LAUGHTER

0:05:48 > 0:05:50"She would have been a Belieber."

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I must have missed the bit in her diary when she went,

0:05:53 > 0:05:56"If I survive this awful war, I have one dream -

0:05:56 > 0:05:59"I'd love to meet a man who looks like a chipmunk...

0:05:59 > 0:06:01LAUGHTER

0:06:01 > 0:06:05"..and wears trousers that make him look like he's done a massive shit."

0:06:05 > 0:06:06LAUGHTER

0:06:08 > 0:06:09APPLAUSE

0:06:11 > 0:06:13"That's the dream."

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Surely Beliebers are more likely to be Nazis.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20Think about it - they worship a short bloke who talks bollocks and can't grow a proper moustache.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22LAUGHTER

0:06:22 > 0:06:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:25 > 0:06:27They've got nothing in common.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Here's what Anne Frank's diary looks like.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32And here's Justin Bieber's.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35LAUGHTER

0:06:35 > 0:06:38From Bieber to the threat of nuclear war. It's all kicking off in Korea.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Tension on the Korean Peninsula is running at dangerous levels.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Kim Jong-un is seen as a loose cannon by the West,

0:06:45 > 0:06:49but no-one can really second-guess how this crisis will play out.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52North Korea has said it's planning to fire another missile over

0:06:52 > 0:06:54the Pacific Ocean, possibly as early as tomorrow.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Are you worried about the nuclear threat?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- AUDIENCE: No! - Me neither. I've seen their rockets.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02COUNTDOWN IN KOREAN

0:07:02 > 0:07:04LAUGHTER

0:07:04 > 0:07:06They've got nothing.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- APPLAUSE - Literally nothing.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Check out their binoculars.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18LAUGHTER

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Their leader, Kim Jong-un,

0:07:19 > 0:07:23has threatened to start a nuclear war, but no-one's worried, are we?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25He's like the mad kid at school who makes things up.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28"I've got missiles and rockets and a flame monkey with lasers for eyes

0:07:28 > 0:07:32"and my dog is made of marshmallows and when it barks it fires sweets that haven't been invented yet

0:07:32 > 0:07:35"and my dad's so cool, he wees Coca-Cola."

0:07:35 > 0:07:38LAUGHTER

0:07:38 > 0:07:40He calls himself the Supreme Leader.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43That doesn't make him sound scary, it makes him sound like a pizza.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45LAUGHTER

0:07:45 > 0:07:49He's such an oddball. He cuts his own hair!

0:07:49 > 0:07:51What with, a fucking rock?!

0:07:51 > 0:07:52LAUGHTER

0:07:52 > 0:07:56And have you noticed in every news report, he's always looking

0:07:56 > 0:07:57through binoculars?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00'With the situation close to thermonuclear war,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03'foreigners in South Korea should evacuate.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06'But if North Korea's European-educated leader is

0:08:06 > 0:08:09'trying to scare them, it doesn't seem to have worked.'

0:08:09 > 0:08:10He always looks really confused.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12There's always that moment when he goes...

0:08:12 > 0:08:14LAUGHTER

0:08:15 > 0:08:18I think I know why he's pulling that face.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22MARTIAL MUSIC

0:08:22 > 0:08:25LOUD CLANGING

0:08:25 > 0:08:27LAUGHTER

0:08:29 > 0:08:30LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:36 > 0:08:38It's a scary old place, North Korea.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's like something out of Nineteen Eighty-Four.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42The people are brainwashed, terrified.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Every time you see them on the news, they've clearly been forced to say something against their will.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52HE GIBBERS

0:08:52 > 0:08:55But I actually got hold of a machine which tells you what

0:08:55 > 0:08:57they're REALLY thinking.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23LAUGHTER

0:09:23 > 0:09:25WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:27 > 0:09:29I like that.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Have you seen their military propaganda videos?

0:09:31 > 0:09:35They're ridiculous. They're full of things they can't possibly do - leaping, jumping,

0:09:35 > 0:09:38leaping through fire. It's true. Take a look at this.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42STIRRING MUSIC

0:10:08 > 0:10:09LAUGHTER

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Mind you, we've all done propaganda videos.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15You should see the trailer for Good News that I wanted to show.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24MARTIAL ARTS-TYPE YELLING

0:10:32 > 0:10:35HE YELLS

0:10:46 > 0:10:47HE YELLS

0:11:04 > 0:11:07# Baby, baby, baby... #

0:11:11 > 0:11:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:17 > 0:11:19HE YELLS

0:11:22 > 0:11:26From America, some shocking news about a teacher.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29A California middle school teacher has been placed on leave after

0:11:29 > 0:11:33school administrators found out she is a hardcore porn star.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36LAUGHTER

0:11:36 > 0:11:38The teacher is a porn star!

0:11:38 > 0:11:41"Good day at school?" "The best ever!"

0:11:41 > 0:11:43LAUGHTER

0:11:43 > 0:11:45"What did you learn?" "So much!"

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Did you see... Did you see how she got caught?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Some of her students were looking at dirty movies online

0:11:54 > 0:11:57and saw their science teacher.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59What a woman! Imagine trying to control that class now.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03"Why haven't you done your homework?" "Cos I was staring at your clunge all night."

0:12:03 > 0:12:05LAUGHTER

0:12:09 > 0:12:12"Flappin' it about like no-one cares!"

0:12:13 > 0:12:17So are the parents disgusted? Oh, no, check out this hound!

0:12:17 > 0:12:19She's a really good teacher.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Oooeerrgh!

0:12:21 > 0:12:23LAUGHTER

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Ohhh!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27How creepy does he sound?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30"She's a really good teacher.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32"I don't even have kids."

0:12:34 > 0:12:37"But I know a good teacher when I see one sucking dick."

0:12:37 > 0:12:38LAUGHTER

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Mind you, if you think porn stars teaching kids is a shocking story,

0:12:45 > 0:12:50it's got NOTHING on the HORROR going on in British schools.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Finally, they've done something about this!

0:12:53 > 0:12:56A school in Essex has banned triangular flapjacks,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58saying they're too dangerous.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Dinner staff at Castle View School, Canvey Island,

0:13:01 > 0:13:04were told to cut the treat into squares or rectangles

0:13:04 > 0:13:08after a pupil was hit in the face by a flying flapjack.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12So ridiculous. In America, kids are like, AK47.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Over here, Mr Kipling.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16LAUGHTER

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Flapjacks! Reckon there's kids bragging outside school?

0:13:19 > 0:13:20"I got suspended."

0:13:20 > 0:13:23"What for?" "I was eating a flapjack that weren't shaped like an oblong."

0:13:23 > 0:13:24LAUGHTER

0:13:24 > 0:13:27"I didn't give a fuck!"

0:13:27 > 0:13:28School's really changed.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31When I was at school, bullies gave you dead legs, Chinese burns.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Now they're giving you snacks!

0:13:33 > 0:13:34LAUGHTER

0:13:34 > 0:13:36"You'd better watch out, Howard,

0:13:36 > 0:13:39"or you'll get a taste of my mum's delicious Madeira cake."

0:13:44 > 0:13:47"I wouldn't want to be you halfway through geography -

0:13:47 > 0:13:49"you is gonna have a well bad sugar crash!"

0:13:49 > 0:13:52LAUGHTER

0:13:52 > 0:13:55So I bet the parents thought this story was ridiculous, right?

0:13:55 > 0:14:00Clearly this is a very dangerous implement that should be locked away

0:14:00 > 0:14:03and kept out of the way of children, because obviously there's

0:14:03 > 0:14:07going to be quite a few injuries with something as dangerous as that.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08LAUGHTER

0:14:08 > 0:14:10It's a fucking flapjack!

0:14:12 > 0:14:14I think we should be less worried about flapjacks

0:14:14 > 0:14:17and more worried about who their new PE teacher is.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25There are so many stories like this in England, though.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Have you seen what's happening in Swindon?

0:14:28 > 0:14:33They've been painting the town yellow in the last few days to stop

0:14:33 > 0:14:37drivers parking in Swindon's backstreets and alleyways.

0:14:37 > 0:14:43But wait till you see the latest one they have painted.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46This is now a no-parking zone,

0:14:46 > 0:14:48even though you couldn't drive down it.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52It's so pointless. It's like putting up a sign on the M6 that says,

0:14:52 > 0:14:54"Please do not play Jenga in the fast lane."

0:14:54 > 0:14:56LAUGHTER

0:14:56 > 0:14:57Do you know who I feel sorry for?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00People who get pissed and fall asleep on the road.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08The big football news was of course this.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Luis Suarez has apologised tonight for biting

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic during their match at Anfield.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Midway through the second half

0:15:16 > 0:15:19of Liverpool's Premier League match against Chelsea, Suarez,

0:15:19 > 0:15:20seemingly unprovoked,

0:15:20 > 0:15:24appears to bite Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Everyone's gone mental.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28"He's an animal." "He should be deported." Come on, it's a one-off.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's not like he's ever done this before.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34He was banned for seven matches for biting an opponent's shoulder

0:15:34 > 0:15:35whilst playing for Ajax.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37OK, once, but...

0:15:37 > 0:15:40You should be aware Russell Howard supports Liverpool Football Club

0:15:40 > 0:15:42and suffers from a condition called Suarez Blindness,

0:15:42 > 0:15:45which means he loves him so much, he often talks complete bollocks.

0:15:45 > 0:15:46LAUGHTER

0:15:46 > 0:15:49He wasn't biting him, he was giving him a kiss!

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Branislav Ivanovic probably smeared himself

0:15:51 > 0:15:53in Reggae Reggae sauce.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56He wasn't biting him, he was doing an impression of a vampire!

0:15:56 > 0:16:00He loves him! That's what you do in Uruguay when you love someone! You people don't understand!

0:16:00 > 0:16:02When you and I see Ivanovic, we see THIS!

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Poor Luis Suarez sees THIS!

0:16:05 > 0:16:09He can't help it! Luis Suarez is a saint!

0:16:09 > 0:16:11He runs a soccer camp in America

0:16:11 > 0:16:13that teaches underprivileged kids how to play!

0:16:13 > 0:16:14And I bet they love it!

0:16:16 > 0:16:17LAUGHTER

0:16:17 > 0:16:19OH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Mind you, it's definitely going to change the half-time adverts.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24All right, Russ?

0:16:24 > 0:16:28All right, Russ, man! Check out THESE odds.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37LAUGHTER

0:16:40 > 0:16:43This is the part of the show I genuinely know nothing about.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's a mystery guest who's been in the news and I have to figure out who it is.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49So please welcome our mystery guest!

0:16:49 > 0:16:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Hello, Russell.- Hiya, man!

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Lovely! You look like you're in a hollowed-out polar bear bollock.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09LAUGHTER

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Can I sit in mine? - Of course you can.- Thanks, man.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Nice to meet you. Isn't it comfy in here?- It's really comfortable.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18- What's your name?- Andy Dunlop. - Andy, nice to meet you, man.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- And you've got some medals there. Can I have a look?- Course you can.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24- The medals have got chickens on them.- They have.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Which implies you are either criminally insane or...

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- LAUGHTER - ..you are very good at looking after chickens.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Yup.- Is that what you do? You look after chickens?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36I do look after chickens.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39I've got a cockerel and nine wives, all called Beryl.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- He's got nine wives?- Yep.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45That's all right! Are they actually married? Have you done little chicken weddings?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Yeah, they've all been married properly.- Have they?- Oh, yes.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49LAUGHTER WOMAN: Awww!

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Don't "Awwww!" That's...

0:17:51 > 0:17:52LAUGHTER

0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Were you dressed as a vicar when you did the service?- No.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Oh, you son of a bitch! You got me then.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02So is that why you've been in the news, cos you're...?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04No, it's not because of chicken weddings.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's because I'm an international sportsman.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09You're an international sportsman? OK, er...

0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Do you throw chickens?- No. LAUGHTER

0:18:13 > 0:18:14- Catch?- No.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Compete against?- No.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Shall I give you my job title? - I would very much like that.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28I'm the world president of the World Egg Throwing Federation.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Wow! - LAUGHTER

0:18:33 > 0:18:35And how far could you fling an egg?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Well, personally, I can't throw one very far

0:18:37 > 0:18:40because I've got an old tossing injury.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53The world record for throwing and catching an egg

0:18:53 > 0:18:55is held by the Dutch couple of Smink and Kooistra,

0:18:55 > 0:19:00who can throw and catch a raw egg without breaking it 69.5 metres.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Wow! Are they here tonight?- No. - Lazy bastards!

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- LAUGHTER - Probably at home making a friggin' porno film.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Here's a question for you - does it not really piss off the chickens?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16LAUGHTER

0:19:16 > 0:19:18I've not ever laid an egg myself

0:19:18 > 0:19:20but I imagine it takes something out of you.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- They make a hell of a noise. - HE CLUCKS LOUDLY

0:19:24 > 0:19:28"Fuckin' egg!" And then you come along and go, "Cheers for that."

0:19:28 > 0:19:30LAUGHTER

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Fuckin' good one. Lay another one.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34"I don't want to lay another one."

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- So why are you in the news exactly? Do you mind if I ask?- Not at all.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43I was the team captain of England.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48We went to India and we beat the Indians at Russian Egg Roulette.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Russian Egg Roulette. That's worth a round of applause! Fantastic!

0:19:55 > 0:19:58What kind of egg-based fun are we going to have?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00We're going to show you some of the games that we play

0:20:00 > 0:20:02at the world championships.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Let's egg on!

0:20:03 > 0:20:05LAUGHTER

0:20:06 > 0:20:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:20:15 > 0:20:18ANDY LAUGHS

0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, Russell, you've got six eggs in front of you.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Five of them are hard-boiled, one's raw.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27You've got to distinguish which one it is without touching it.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30The first egg you touch, you've got to use...

0:20:30 > 0:20:33LAUGHTER ..and to prove it's the hard-boiled egg,

0:20:33 > 0:20:35you've got to smash it onto your own forehead.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

0:20:37 > 0:20:38The way we operate this

0:20:38 > 0:20:41at the height of the World Egg Throwing Championships is,

0:20:41 > 0:20:45- we use Reiki. Have you heard of Reiki?- I have, yeah.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48That's where you can feel the life force...

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- You use it to get rid of the leave-ies. - LAUGHTER

0:20:54 > 0:20:57You can use Reiki to identify the life force

0:20:57 > 0:20:59by placing your hand above the egg

0:20:59 > 0:21:02and feeling round to see which one's got the life force coming off it.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03Do you want to practise that?

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- You don't advise doing this when it's still in the chicken.- No.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08LAUGHTER

0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Do you feel the difference? - Oh, I can, you know!- You can?- Yeah.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Excellent. I'll show you how it's done, first of all.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Just spin it so we don't know which one's which.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22HAHHHH!

0:21:22 > 0:21:25LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:21:32 > 0:21:35GGGHHHAAA!

0:21:35 > 0:21:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:38 > 0:21:41You're doing well, but you might want to try the other method,

0:21:41 > 0:21:44which is aura-watching. Every living creature's got an aura.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Well, if you look across the eggs,

0:21:46 > 0:21:49you can see the raw one's got a light-blue aura.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- OK?- While we're here, have you seen the aura on Dora the Explorer?

0:21:53 > 0:21:55LAUGHTER

0:22:00 > 0:22:02HAAA!

0:22:02 > 0:22:04APPLAUSE

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Oh, shit.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12LAUGHTER

0:22:20 > 0:22:22SCREAMS OF LAUGHTER

0:22:29 > 0:22:33Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for my wonderful mystery guest!

0:22:33 > 0:22:35WHOOPING AND CHEERING

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Next up, have a look at this story from a zoo in Spain.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47This one has people talking tonight. Gina is a naughty chimp.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50She lives in a zoo in Spain and apparently is addicted to porn.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52LAUGHTER

0:22:52 > 0:22:53That's right, you heard right.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55There is a lady monkey in Spain

0:22:55 > 0:22:59who spends all day touching herself watching porn.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02LAUGHTER

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Did you see what her neighbours thought?

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Imagine her on a nature documentary.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12David Attenborough - "Here we see the mighty monkey

0:23:12 > 0:23:15"flicking herself off like a banshee."

0:23:15 > 0:23:17LAUGHTER

0:23:17 > 0:23:19"She's gone through ten bananas today,

0:23:19 > 0:23:21"but she hasn't eaten any of them!"

0:23:24 > 0:23:26I know what you're thinking -

0:23:26 > 0:23:28how does a monkey become addicted to porn?

0:23:28 > 0:23:34Somebody was doing some research and put a TV outside of the enclosure.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35The TV has a remote

0:23:35 > 0:23:40and she would change it to a channel that had adult entertainment on it.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44They put a telly outside her cage and SHE switched it to porn.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47And apparently, she was watching some pretty freaky stuff!

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Do you know the worst thing?

0:23:51 > 0:23:53She's been teaching the other monkeys to watch porn.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Some people were shocked. This guy didn't mind it.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58She's a really good teacher.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00LAUGHTER

0:24:00 > 0:24:04Next up, if you think you've got a weird relationship, check this out.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05It was love at first sight.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07His body and then his interior

0:24:07 > 0:24:09and everything together just seemed to fit

0:24:09 > 0:24:11and I just felt an instant connection.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Nathaniel is in a committed relationship with a car that

0:24:14 > 0:24:16he's named Chase.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18AUDIENCE: Eurgh!

0:24:18 > 0:24:20He's in love with his car.

0:24:20 > 0:24:25- He must lose his shit watching Top Gear, just... - HE MOANS

0:24:25 > 0:24:27"Look at its hubcaps."

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Poor car! Just sat in the showroom.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31"Tell you what, lads, can't wait to be bought.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35"Driving really fast on motorways, picking up wom... Oh!

0:24:35 > 0:24:37"There's something in my exhaust pipe."

0:24:37 > 0:24:39LAUGHTER

0:24:40 > 0:24:44I can see the Churchill dog in the back window going, "Oh, no..."

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Poor car! I bet every time he honks the horn he just goes, "Help!"

0:24:51 > 0:24:53"HEEEELLLPPP!"

0:24:53 > 0:24:55That car isn't even red, it's just fucking blushing!

0:24:55 > 0:24:56LAUGHTER

0:24:56 > 0:24:58"HEELLLPPP!"

0:24:59 > 0:25:01What's he doing shagging a car?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04I mean, he's got a female flatmate, for goodness' sake!

0:25:04 > 0:25:07My initial reaction was, I was kinda shocked.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I'll take the car.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- The weirdest... - LAUGHTER

0:25:15 > 0:25:21The weirdest part of the story is his confession to his dad.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- There's something pretty important I want to talk to you about.- All right.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'm, uh...just going to come out and say it, I guess.

0:25:27 > 0:25:32I'm in an intimate relationship with Chase.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33Sexually and emotionally.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39You're in an intimate relationship with your car.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- LAUGHTER - His dad is totally fine! It goes on for ten minutes.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44They have a chat - "Yeah, cool!"

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Here's how that would have gone down with MY old man.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Guess what, Dad? I'm shagging the car.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52You fucking...!

0:25:52 > 0:25:53LAUGHTER

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Why can't you be more like your brother?!

0:25:58 > 0:25:59All right, Dad?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03HE GRUNTS

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Yeah, that was my actual brother.

0:26:07 > 0:26:08LAUGHTER

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Next up, a lovely story about a magical friendship

0:26:18 > 0:26:20between a boy called Owen and a dog called Haatchi.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24These two have a magical connection.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Owen and Haatchi are inseparable. - He changed my life.

0:26:29 > 0:26:34I was scared for ages before, but now I'm not.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Their bond has been forged through a mutual understanding of what

0:26:38 > 0:26:40it's like to be different.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Seven-year-old Owen has a rare genetic condition called

0:26:43 > 0:26:48Schwartz-Jampel Syndrome. It causes severe muscle stiffness.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51We believe there's about 25-ish cases in the world.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55His mobility is poor. He can't walk unaided.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Anatolian Shepherd Haatchi has three legs.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00A previous owner tied him to a railway track

0:27:00 > 0:27:02and he was hit by a train.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04- WOMAN:- As soon as I saw his face,

0:27:04 > 0:27:07there was a connection that I can't describe, really,

0:27:07 > 0:27:09but I just knew that we belonged to him.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13Owen knows Haatchi's different. Haatchi's got this missing leg.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17He's not perfect. He's not normal. He's not a normal dog.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19You can see when you look at them

0:27:19 > 0:27:22from a distance, there's sideways glances going on all the time.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24And they're sharing very private,

0:27:24 > 0:27:28intimate moments every few seconds and making sure each one's OK

0:27:28 > 0:27:30and that they're there for each other.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33And that is the most moving thing about it.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37He's a great dog to me. He changed my life.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Yeah, it's lovely, isn't it?

0:27:40 > 0:27:42APPLAUSE

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Now, it's stand-up time. My guest is a big star in the US.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48He's had two Comedy Central specials,

0:27:48 > 0:27:50and you might recognise him from Flight Of The Conchords.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52He's flown over especially to do the show,

0:27:52 > 0:27:54so please welcome the wonderful Eugene Mirman!

0:28:03 > 0:28:07Hello! How are you?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09I like to play a game

0:28:09 > 0:28:11whenever I go to the supermarket with my girlfriend

0:28:11 > 0:28:15where I try to think of something that I can yell to her

0:28:15 > 0:28:17that makes everybody there think that she's crazy.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21And we were there and I was by the cart,

0:28:21 > 0:28:24and she was 20 feet away and I yelled to her, "You know what?

0:28:24 > 0:28:28"I am going to get toilet paper. I don't think it's a waste."

0:28:28 > 0:28:30LAUGHTER

0:28:31 > 0:28:34And then everybody looks at her like she's some crazy toilet paper vegan.

0:28:34 > 0:28:39I got a wake-up call - not like "Stop doing heroin!"...

0:28:39 > 0:28:40LAUGHTER

0:28:41 > 0:28:44..But like in a hotel, where normally what happens is,

0:28:44 > 0:28:46you answer the phone and they're like

0:28:46 > 0:28:49"Wake up, you asked for this", and you're like, "Boo, OK."

0:28:49 > 0:28:54At this hotel, I answered the phone and they went "It's May 5th, 2012."

0:28:56 > 0:28:59Why are you telling me the year?

0:28:59 > 0:29:02What do you think I did last night...

0:29:02 > 0:29:06that I don't know what year it is?

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Unless it's like a coma-only hotel

0:29:08 > 0:29:12where people wake up and they're like, "Why is the TV so flat?"

0:29:12 > 0:29:14"Because it's 2012. They're all flat."

0:29:16 > 0:29:19Often, when I'm touring, before a show

0:29:19 > 0:29:23I'll have a lot of time to kill, so I'll sit at a bar and,

0:29:23 > 0:29:25I don't know if you do it here, but in the States,

0:29:25 > 0:29:28whenever you order a drink, they give you a napkin with your drink.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31And I like to write a little note on the napkin

0:29:31 > 0:29:32and then put it back at the bottom of the pile

0:29:32 > 0:29:36so that in a few weeks, somebody gets a message from me.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39I found a bunch of napkins that I wrote a ton of stuff on,

0:29:39 > 0:29:42but never put back in the pile, that I wanted to share with you.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44So here we go.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Here they are.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47"Cheer up, fatty!"

0:29:52 > 0:29:54"It's OK to lie to old people".

0:29:57 > 0:30:00"This napkin gives you permission to talk about politics,

0:30:00 > 0:30:03"even though you're drunk and uninformed."

0:30:06 > 0:30:09"You can lead a horse to water. Congratulations, fuckface."

0:30:13 > 0:30:15"You are an alchemist who can turn six beers

0:30:15 > 0:30:17"into an awkward three-week relationship."

0:30:19 > 0:30:21"You are."

0:30:22 > 0:30:24"Don't shit where you sleep either.

0:30:26 > 0:30:31And then of course, lastly, "Have a baby. It'll save your marriage."

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Sad to get, but wonderful to leave.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47I wrote a book. I wrote the shit out of it.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51I wrote a book and then I went on a book tour

0:30:51 > 0:30:55where you go to different bookstores and you read from your book.

0:30:55 > 0:31:00It's very normal. It's prearranged. You don't startle people.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Sneak up behind...

0:31:02 > 0:31:05And I found that in every bookstore in every city,

0:31:05 > 0:31:09there was at least one crazy person. When I was in Seattle,

0:31:09 > 0:31:12there was a woman who had been banned from the bookstore

0:31:12 > 0:31:15for trying to scalp tickets to a free Stephen King reading.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18They were like, "You can never come back".

0:31:18 > 0:31:21And then they were like, "Well, you can come back for Eugene."

0:31:21 > 0:31:24And so I was there and I was reading from my book,

0:31:24 > 0:31:26and she had brought a cup of noodles from home

0:31:26 > 0:31:28and she was eating it very angrily as I read.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32And at some point in my book, I go "I'm Jewish, sorry".

0:31:32 > 0:31:34And she stopped eating.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36She gets really mad and she goes,

0:31:36 > 0:31:39"Why did you apologise for being Jewish?"

0:31:39 > 0:31:41She had never heard sarcasm.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43And I went, "Because it's a terrible thing!"

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Which horrified her, but really pleased me.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51The thing that was amazing about this reading

0:31:51 > 0:31:54was that there was this little 12-year-old boy in back,

0:31:54 > 0:31:56and he pointed at me and went,

0:31:56 > 0:32:00"Why is everybody looking at him and not at me? Oh, because he's funny."

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Like that. It was very charming, but sort of weird.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05And it turns out that this 12-year-old boy

0:32:05 > 0:32:09was the son of someone who worked there and that he had Asperger's,

0:32:09 > 0:32:11so he couldn't judge social situations.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14He created rules and rituals for himself.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16And then he pointed at me again and went,

0:32:16 > 0:32:18"Why doesn't he accept me as his god?"

0:32:21 > 0:32:24It was amazing.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27What that little boy doesn't understand is that I do.

0:32:28 > 0:32:29I do accept him as my god,

0:32:29 > 0:32:33because I've always found the specificity of religion confusing.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35If you're Jewish, you have to wear a hat,

0:32:35 > 0:32:37but only in the middle of your head.

0:32:37 > 0:32:38But it all becomes clear

0:32:38 > 0:32:44once you realise that God is a 12-year-old boy with Asperger's.

0:32:44 > 0:32:48No wonder he's like "You can't eat pigs and you can't eat horses!"

0:32:48 > 0:32:51"I wasn't going to". "Good, because you can't."

0:32:51 > 0:32:53No wonder he was like, "I fucked up the Earth.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55"I should probably get two of every animal on a boat.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57"That's the only solution I see."

0:32:58 > 0:33:02Religion - it's not only faith, it's high-functioning autism.

0:33:06 > 0:33:11So I moved about a year ago, and when I moved to a new apartment,

0:33:11 > 0:33:14I had to get cable, phone and internet all provided by one company.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17So I moved and then you make an appointment with that company

0:33:17 > 0:33:21to come between winter solstice and summer solstice, and you just wait.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25And I had made an appointment and they were supposed to come

0:33:25 > 0:33:27between 10am and 5pm, and I'm waiting and waiting.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29At 5pm, I called them and I'm like

0:33:29 > 0:33:31"Hey, we made a deal that you would come"

0:33:31 > 0:33:34and they were like "Oh! We entered the information wrong.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36"We're not coming. We're coming in two weeks".

0:33:36 > 0:33:38I was like, "Why didn't you call?" And they were like, "Nah-ha!"

0:33:40 > 0:33:42And so two weeks later, I'm waiting and I call every few hours

0:33:42 > 0:33:45and I'm like "Are you guys coming?" and they're like "Of course we are.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48"Who would ever skip out twice?" And I'm like, "I don't know."

0:33:48 > 0:33:51So I'm calling and calling and finally I get a call from them

0:33:51 > 0:33:54like "Yeah, the guy tried to call your cellphone and you didn't answer,

0:33:54 > 0:33:56"so we're not coming. We're coming again in two weeks".

0:33:56 > 0:33:59I was like "You people are monsters. I work from home.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01"I need my internet and telephone and stuff".

0:34:01 > 0:34:06And they're like "Yeah, well, we hate you, and nothing matters to us.

0:34:06 > 0:34:10"Money isn't even an incentive". And I was like "I don't know what to do".

0:34:10 > 0:34:12What can you do to a giant company

0:34:12 > 0:34:14that clearly couldn't care less and has a monopoly?

0:34:14 > 0:34:17So I thought about it, and I was like "I could write them a letter,

0:34:17 > 0:34:19"but they would probably just put it in a pile of letters

0:34:19 > 0:34:23"that they laugh at before they go to sleep, just giggling at customers".

0:34:23 > 0:34:26So I decided I would write them a letter,

0:34:26 > 0:34:28but I wouldn't send it to them.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31I would just take out full-page ads in New York newspapers.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35So this is the New York press. I took out a full-page ad that I bought.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Here it is. Here is the full page ad

0:34:39 > 0:34:42of a letter to Time Warner Cable...

0:34:45 > 0:34:47..the company that I was so disappointed with.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50So here's my letter to Time Warner Cable.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52"Dear Time Warner Cable, on April 23rd,

0:34:52 > 0:34:55"I moved and had an appointment with Time Warner Cable

0:34:55 > 0:34:58"to come and install cable, internet and phone service,

0:34:58 > 0:35:00"and no-one showed up. When I called,

0:35:00 > 0:35:03"I was told my appointment was entered wrong and moved to May 4th

0:35:03 > 0:35:05"without anyone calling me. No big deal.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07"Why would a company check with someone

0:35:07 > 0:35:10"to see if they're home on a Wednesday afternoon?

0:35:10 > 0:35:12"Of course they are. Everyone is.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16"Name one person who isn't home on Wednesday afternoon.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19"You can't. It's impossible, because everyone is home.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23"It would be a waste of money and resources to call and talk to him."

0:35:23 > 0:35:25"Did Stalin ever call people

0:35:25 > 0:35:29"before he arrested them and sent them to die in a Siberian war camp?

0:35:29 > 0:35:32"No. Why should Time Warner Cable

0:35:32 > 0:35:35"have a policy that is any different from Stalin's?"

0:35:36 > 0:35:38"Did you know that on Yelp,

0:35:38 > 0:35:40"Time Warner Cable has one and a half stars?

0:35:40 > 0:35:44"That's less stars than Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed and ate people.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51"Maybe even had sex with their skulls - I don't really know.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53"Obviously, what I'm saying is untrue,

0:35:53 > 0:35:55"because Yelp does not review serial killers.

0:35:56 > 0:36:00"But if they did, his baba ghanoush would be better than yours

0:36:00 > 0:36:04"if you both made baba ghanoush, even if his drugged and murdered people.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07"Sorry, that got weird. Fuck you.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10"I just made you read that confusing thing.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16"To give you an idea of how much I dislike your company,

0:36:16 > 0:36:17"I have come up with plagues

0:36:17 > 0:36:20"I hope God smites your board of directors with.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23"I know he will only do this if you enslave the Jews,

0:36:23 > 0:36:27"but considering you have a monopoly in New York City, you already have.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31"Here are the plagues.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34"Awkward - every board member's cellphone rings loudly

0:36:34 > 0:36:37"and announces their weight and also the day they will die.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42"Bathroom - the constant feeling you have to go number two,

0:36:42 > 0:36:44"but completely forgetting how.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51"And lastly, popcorn.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55"Your second born will smell like hot buttered popcorn.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58"It's not that bad at first, but eventually,

0:36:58 > 0:36:59"I bet it will be maddening!"

0:37:00 > 0:37:04"Sincerely, Eugene Mirman and every one of your customers. Thanks."

0:37:12 > 0:37:16So lastly, I wanted to talk about Facebook.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18We tell Facebook everything there is to know about ourselves -

0:37:18 > 0:37:21our favourite movies, bands, where we're from,

0:37:21 > 0:37:23who our friends are, our favourite books.

0:37:23 > 0:37:28And it takes all of that information and makes ads designed exactly at us.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31These are some of the ads that started coming up for me.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Here's one.

0:37:33 > 0:37:37"Sell gold canyon candles. Earn great commissions and discounts

0:37:37 > 0:37:40"by hosting your own gold canyon candle party".

0:37:41 > 0:37:44I am not fooled by this house made of one dollar bills.

0:37:46 > 0:37:50Here's another one that came up for me. "Consider donating sperm?

0:37:52 > 0:37:56"Earn great money, commit minimal time". You don't know!

0:37:58 > 0:38:00I don't know what band I like that somebody decided

0:38:00 > 0:38:02"This guy needs 50, and fast."

0:38:03 > 0:38:04This is the ad that broke me.

0:38:04 > 0:38:08This is the ad that made me go "How does Facebook advertising work?

0:38:08 > 0:38:11"In home pet euthanasia.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14"Say goodbye to your four-legged friend

0:38:14 > 0:38:19"in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Cremation."

0:38:20 > 0:38:22This is not a friend, this is a service

0:38:22 > 0:38:24where they will come to your house

0:38:24 > 0:38:27and they will murder and burn your cat.

0:38:27 > 0:38:28They will gather the family.

0:38:28 > 0:38:33They will murder your cat and they will set it on fire until it's ashes.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36And then you have to be like "Did I pay my cat murder burn bill?

0:38:36 > 0:38:37"I can't remember."

0:38:38 > 0:38:41This made me go "OK, how do Facebook ads work?"

0:38:41 > 0:38:44So I decided to take out a bunch of ads

0:38:44 > 0:38:46and direct them at different people.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50Each ad was seen about 10,000 to 15,000 times.

0:38:50 > 0:38:54I spent 15-20 on each one, and they got about eight hits,

0:38:54 > 0:38:55so not very effective.

0:38:55 > 0:39:01But some people definitely saw it, in the thousands. So here are the ads.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05"No more sad face! Your problems are dumb. Click here to agree."

0:39:09 > 0:39:12I directed that at people who are 18 to 19 years old,

0:39:12 > 0:39:15in Brooklyn, New York, who like Wilco and Belle and Sebastian.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20"Do you like hockey?

0:39:20 > 0:39:23"Get a 20% discount on hookers when you're in Spain!"

0:39:27 > 0:39:30I directed that at people in Quebec, Canada, 35 to 40,

0:39:30 > 0:39:32who like hockey and Belle and Sebastian.

0:39:36 > 0:39:37"Stop feeling weird.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41"Do you hate making eye contact with disabled people?

0:39:41 > 0:39:43"Click here to start loving it!"

0:39:46 > 0:39:50I directed that, of course, to people any age in Florida...

0:39:51 > 0:39:53who like Real Housewives Of Orange County.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55And I got, like, eight clicks.

0:39:55 > 0:40:00So eight people saw it and were like "I would like to stop feeling weird."

0:40:00 > 0:40:02And I know their favourite TV show.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06This, I'll tell you who I directed it at first.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Boys, 13 to 14, anywhere in the United States,

0:40:08 > 0:40:11who like Deal Or No Deal or Howie Mandel.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15There's about 12,340 boys that that fits.

0:40:15 > 0:40:20Here's the ad I took out that they saw. "Afraid to talk to girls? Good!

0:40:21 > 0:40:23"Most girls kill and eat boys.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27"No-one talks about it because they're too scared.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29"Click here to take poison to avoid being eaten!"

0:40:31 > 0:40:32Who could they turn to?

0:40:39 > 0:40:43This is the last one I took out. "You tried to kiss me!

0:40:43 > 0:40:50"I will call the police unless you click here and give me 40!"

0:40:50 > 0:40:55I directed that, of course, at people 52 to 55 in Saudi Arabia

0:40:55 > 0:41:01who like Beverly Hills Cop. And right here it says fewer than 20.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03So that means it reaches, like, ten people.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06But the ad was seen about 3,000 times.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09So ten people saw it 300 times.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12So now matter how much they were like "Repetitive, don't like",

0:41:12 > 0:41:14"No! You tried to kiss me! Give me 40".

0:41:14 > 0:41:17"Repetitive". "You tried to kiss me!"

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Thank you all so very, very much.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22I've been Eugene Mirman.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25You are lovely.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29Good night, England, and your colonies.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Ladies and gentlemen, Eugene Mirman!

0:41:35 > 0:41:39Thanks very much for watching Good News. Good night.
