'ere Russ! God I hope no scandal comes about this guy in the future. He uses his platform to show the good and the bad in this world.

Never thought I'd be cutting onions over a kid wearing a cock suit.

I love Russell Howard. I remember watching this one. That kid rocks!

This is great. Thanks. +1

He was on Taskmaster. That’s my entry point for like half the British comedians I know.
Leaps
That and Big Fat Quiz of the Year for me... 8 out of 10 Cats is another good one (not the countdown version).
xoShiseUGA
Awesome ❤️

no clue who this guy is, love it though

It’s never too early or too late. You can be a giant dick at any time.

Russells brother is evil, but he loves him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvE-idNkLP4
DrKenAdams
I know I've heard him on XM at some point, but I just started watching Taskmaster and he's really good on that.
Randofitter7
My stupid friend doesn't understand "Merr" and I'm having a hard time explaining it. He's an idiot, I know.. sorry about him
FirstAidPoetry
It’s basically “that’s what she said”. You call someone out for a phrasing that could be interpreted as sexual.
somnif
Just making a silly moan sound whenever someone says something vaguely suggestive. Similar to the "that's what she said" thing.

After Eddie Izzard, Russell is my favourite British comedian
Nuraalek
Maybe it's a generational thing, but for me no-one can beat Billy Connolly.
Natastrophe01
Check out Joe Lysett. He's got a bunch of stuff on youtube and is brilliant.
Thanks, have you seen Phill Jupitus sketch about his daughter ad her boyfriend, I found it hilarious
TheOneTrueZippy8
That's from "Quadrophobia" (2000) but he did it again on Live at the Apollo TV show (2012). His daughter is now a researcher on QI.
sundaymondayhippyday
I love his bit about his father in law whose a war veteran being so disappointed with him because of his petrifying fear of Spiders! !
It’s brilliant can’t remember where I saw it though

in case anyone else is curious but less willing to go looking for it: as of December 2021 Deryn was still confirmed fine ?

Saw this show live. Was good ?
ScottyDoesDev
I was supposed to see him in Portland in 2020 :( one day!
Ovunn
Was supposed to see James Acaster in Portland too. Sad day
JimothyHalpert
Well yeah... That's how they recorded it
pyroshen
I like him on all the panel shows
p0ck3ts4nd
Live?!? In Bristol? This recording?? Neat. Real fuckin neat.
JColdIron
That is the best of the internet today. Might as well shut er down! MERR!
I should not envy this... but damn I do :D

Who is this, and how can I watch this set?
TakenToaster
There’s usually loads of Russell Howard on Netflix! (Uk at least). If ur not a tea drinking stiff upper lip type, get a vpn
ihavesomuchdawwtogive
Russell Howard. I don't know if this one is on there, but he's got three different specials up on Netflix. Delightfully entertaining.
His newest one (post-covid) had me in stitches. He calmed his delivery down a bit & it worked so well. Brilliant comedian
HenryFondle
I haven't seen the most recent ones, but I can wholeheartedly recommend "Recalibrate"
BunnyKing95
Russel Howard. Netflix.

I think I just watched him on Netflix in the US.

Fuck yeah he was!

Russell Howard. I'm not 100% sure but it's probably on YouTube.

Netflix, he's hilarious!

I'm slow and American. I don't quite understand the "merr" meaning.
CrystalEnigma
To add to what others have said, it’s not so much the word as much as it is the inflection you’ll need to hear it to see what everyone means
TheBladesAurus
It's from old films, like the 'Carry on' films, Kenneth Williams had all kinds of suggestive noises
Justboredtobehere
You speak as if many Americans are familiar with the Carry On series.
I'm not even sure if many young British people are familiar with the Carry On films
creamyonions
The first 2 panels explain it, but video helps. It's just a silly sound he and his make when someone says something accidentally dirty.
Oh I read it wrong as “Men”! I was laughing anyway- so the Merr thing at the end made no sense
Dimoniums
I think he mentions earlier on in this special that this was a game he and his brother made up. As others said merr = that's what she said.
Like reading from a fortune cookie and adding "in bed".
acuteavocado7
british version of thats what she said
Ah thanks
Well this Brit had never heard of it until this was posted a couple weeks ago (yes, this is a repost), so it may be a regional thing.

Does it have a linguistic origin? Or is it just.. kind of random?
It's just a silly moan sound
For example: In the Hulu show Letterkenny the phrase "YEW" is often used to indicate sexual attraction. In the US South "Hyew-weee"...
indicates an unpleasant smell. Neither of which seem to have linguistic origins.
