  • "No one works harder than us... except for people who work in other professions" 🤣
  • What makes Richard great is he's literally just saying what he thinks.
  • @drewishaf
    His best line of all time has to be the, "NO ONE told me there would be social interaction or I would not have come." 😆
  • @Sasataf
    "There was barely enough time to get up from your seat and slap someone..." 😄😂🤣
  • Richard is just legendary. Best deadpan straight man in a generation. Thank God YouTube exists so Americans can enjoy this genius man.
  • @floouk
    He should be the new Doctor. He would be brilliant!
  • @EhCloserLook
    I always find Richard Ayoade to be delightful. More of him, please!
  • @AmaraEmme
    What a blessing this man is, he’s never disappointed
  • The random awkward "hi". He's the only person on Earth I can respect for using something that simple for comedy.
  • @jesmarina
    Nobody can say "Please" quite like Ayoade can.
  • @KittyHerder
    That man just doesn't age. I had to look it up. He's 45 and still looks like he's in his 20s.
  • @roo3566
    Well done Richard for being something that the BBC and most actors cannot achieve: not entitled, not condescending, not a waste of space, and entertaining. Thank you.
  • @Deedee-ee1sg
    This will eventually end. LOL!! He's always brilliantly drole. He would be superb as Dr. WHO!!!

    “There’s barely enough time to get up your seat and slap someone” - ohhh the shade. 😂😂
  • Richard is a genius. i can't tell if his whole personality is an act, which if it is is an insane level of skill and commitment I'm certainly incapable of, or if it is just who he is as a person that exudes the level of perfect comedic timing do to awkward delivery, but which ever it is, I deeply respect the man for all the laughs he's bestowed upon me.

    Brilliantly understated, ironic, and cheekily modest.
  • @KKORAS_
    He will always be too damn funny
