Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Russell Howard Good News was a satirical comedy standup programme presented by stand-up comedian Russell Howard, of Mock the Week fame, airing on BBC Three, then moving to BBC Two in 2014.The shows are presented as Russell talks on stage, commenting on various pieces of news from that week and across the world. He's particularly fond of using reaction clips for jokes as well. Each episode is separated into sections, usually type of news; they don't appear in every single episode (see the folder below).It started in 2009 after Russell left Mock the Week, and became a common fixture for many years, and ended in 2016 after its tenth series - the show usually had two series per year and with 8-12 episodes a series.The show has since moved over to Sky 1, retitled to The Russell Howard Hour, and it follows pretty much the same format, and even reusing the same props, but gets more comedians involved with the show. Since the shows are essentially identical in all but name, tropes for both shows can be placed here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Belief Makes You Stupid: Zig-Zagged, Russell is an atheist and condescendingly refers to God as "the magic man". Depending on the subject and person, he'll say that people are idiots for using faith as an excuse to ignore greater issues or deny any social changes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Bait-and-Switch: One story is about China banning all movies with time travel, to prevent the notions of rewriting history, whereupon Russell claims he would rewrite history to undo one of history's greatest evils... by which he means interrupting the parents of Justin Bieber during sex.
