British working class people are a very unique breed. These are the people who worked the Industrial Revolution, built our ships, worked in the mills etc etc. The beauty of Peter's comedy is that he's basically just highlighting what these people are like and how they speak, to an audience of these people. It's probably why he never made it internationally. But he's a genius, though and deserves all the fame he's got..
Yes Peters background is from Bolton which was predominantly working class, however the Industrial Revolution started in 1760 and finished in about 1840. The women that he talks about could have probably worked in the cotton mills that Bolton was famous for, I think however they may have been too old for the Industrial Revolution. 🤗
@@everestyeti Working class is not a period of time it is the class of folk who worked through the Industrial Revolution onwards to the factories today. The OP understood that. We working class have things we do all the way back from the early mills, like mouthing words and understanding it. It's used mostly now to mouth naughty words.
The reference to the “Do you want the 42p” is because many people when paying with cash (those were the days) if the gave a £5 note would ask if the shop wanted the 42 pence in exact change so e shop could give £2 change and not use up its loos change in the till.
I love it when North Americans show their appreciation of English humour (I'm Scottish!), even when they don't understand the accent or the cultural significance of some points. Re the "Am I going the right way?" line, in summer 1989 I was on holiday on the Spanish island of Majorca (in Alcudia). I was walking along the long beach beside the main road, packed with hotels. An English woman was walking in the sea, with a boy on a pedalo. She said she'd just arrived, was lost, and asked - "Do you know where my hotel is?". I wouldn't have recognised the name anyway, but I said "What's it called?". She said "I can't remember." She's probably still there!😅
The lady in black wearing glasses is Peter's mum and the old lady sat to her left is his grandmother, hence the expressions when he tells some of his stories.
....Great comedian....just for your information...at 3.57 , you actually SEE his grandma, and next to her on the left (grandma's right), is Peter's mum! They appear again a few seconds (4.27) later when Peter mentions her again.
Jodi and Nick. What a super couple they are. Having lived and worked in the USA for about six years, I know that sometimes our British humour is a little Parochial, and does not always appeal to Americans. This couple, however have a super sense of humour, and they "Get" almost all of Peter Kay`s input. I would just like to say that personally I find Jodi and Nick to be very open minded. Best Wishes to you both.
Sorry you struggled with the accent. I had to learn it as a kid as I lived 15 miles from his area😀. Believe me, the Manchester accent where I lived was different. You don't travel far in the UK to hear a different accent. But Peter Kay appeals to many people. He is clever. But you got it.
I'm Cornish and one of the things quite a few of us say is it's raining out or it's a day out there ?????? Still say it to this day why I've no idea xx
You did well to keep up with what he was saying. Not only did he really lean into the accent but also used very specific phrases and references relating to stereotypical northern working class British life. I'm honestly surprised you understood any of it.
You did well to keep up. I’m from London so I had to really listen in when he went hard Bolton ( where he’s from in the north of England). I find it easier when he does his teachers or mums Irish accent as it’s like my mums accent.
Lovely couple,... I am working class, our humour is born from hardship and sticking together and being able to laugh at ourselves, nothing is taboo, apart from profanity towards God
Watching an old British film and the women of the family were say around and one said When the Passed away The husband said will you stop that they didn't passaway, pass over or bloody pass out... the died 😂
the reason people ask "do you want the 42", is because thyre asking if you want the exact change, or will 4 quid do? Basically, do you need change, or do you want to get this interaction over and done with as quick a possible, because there is a que of people waiting behind you.
When someone in the UK says do you want the 42p out of the £3.42 they generally mean I am going to give you £5 for instance but do you want the 42p in change. That is what it generally means but Peter makes it sound so funny.
I love Jody's face as she cringes watching Micky. Sometimes it's a look of Sheer terror, as though she knows what he is saying and what Nick will drop into the Reactions at the end of your video! Keep up the sheer embarrassment Jody
I will explain Nick why you don't walk to the pub in the Suburbs, you did ask about why you don't when you would like a beer and a pool match. It is because your always building large cardboard houses with No infrastructure the closest store and Bar a 30 min drive away! I'd still love to have moved over there but life always got in the way! Anyway when you are in the uk make sure to visit the coast around West Somerset. There are great places to visit and all are immortalised in literature.
See when you said no matter how much faith you have we cant really know,i'm just here to say you can be certain there's a heaven,i've been blessed enough to have been there ❤😇

@@somniumisdreaming thank you for actually understanding 😂
I disagree with this as Peter Kay appeals to a wide variety of people in Britain regardless of class or background.
He's an absolute Genius! ❤
The little old lady the camera keeps panning to is Peters grandmother.
and next to her is his Mother with the carrier bags
The reference to the “Do you want the 42p” is because many people when paying with cash (those were the days) if the gave a £5 note would ask if the shop wanted the 42 pence in exact change so e shop could give £2 change and not use up its loos change in the till.
Yeah, this always bugged me about that routine. Do you think Peter just never really got it and thought he was living in a nation of hagglers?
@@finncullen he’s a pretty smart guy, I’d say this was just comedy misunderstanding for effect
@@Mrgarethw Yes. He's just kidding - a young shop worker may misunderstand the point if a customer asked that.
@@finncullen that's something that still happens
I work in a little shop. That hasn't changed. And I did get confused the first time someone asked me that.
@3:55 Those two ladies are acually Peter Kay's mother and grandmother

She's probably still there!😅
Peter is a National Treasure, like an unofficial royal to people in the UK.
The thing about the asking do you want the odd 42? is that shoppers want to get pound coins back if they give the odds.
just fyi the 2 ladies in the audiance at 3:55 are his grandma and his mum 😉
Rain --- It's that kind that goes right through you ????
The lady in black wearing glasses is Peter's mum and the old lady sat to her left is his grandmother, hence the expressions when he tells some of his stories.
i think they missed this comment. guys - it's Peter's NAN in the audience!!!
"Got a Next one in 'ere with good handles" 🤣
....Great comedian....just for your information...at 3.57 , you actually SEE his grandma, and next to her on the left (grandma's right), is Peter's mum! They appear again a few seconds (4.27) later when Peter mentions her again.
The two ladies it keeps showing on camera in the audience are Peter Kay grandma and mum just incase your wandering 🤔
This man is so f***ing talented, I can only understand every 3rd or 4th word and I STILL piss myself laughing.😅😅😅😅
They mean do you want the exact money....they are being polite! Shops sometimes run out of change.

At minute 4 when he talks about his Granmother,the lady with grey har and glasses is Peters gran . The lady next to her is Peters mother
Love your channel♥️ just subscribed 👍👍
I'm Cornish and one of the things quite a few of us say is it's raining out or it's a day out there ?????? Still say it to this day why I've no idea xx
Because it makes perfect sense
Very British specific comedy, you probably would've get a lot of this.
You did well to keep up with what he was saying. Not only did he really lean into the accent but also used very specific phrases and references relating to stereotypical northern working class British life. I'm honestly surprised you understood any of it.
Thanks.
I live about 10 mins away from where Peter is from and I can say he's like an animated version of most of my older family and friends! 😂👌
I think it's feels like rain.🤗💓🇬🇧
You did well to keep up. I’m from London so I had to really listen in when he went hard Bolton ( where he’s from in the north of England). I find it easier when he does his teachers or mums Irish accent as it’s like my mums accent.
I love how his mum and grandma are there in the audience enjoying his routine along with the thousands of people
Lovely couple,... I am working class, our humour is born from hardship and sticking together and being able to laugh at ourselves, nothing is taboo, apart from profanity towards God
That's his grandma in the audience, when his telling the gag about, Guess whose dead.
Neto is a cheap Superstore in the U.K.
The 2 ladies the camera keep showing is Peter's Mum (in the black) and his Grandmother.
A lot of localisms/phrases in this one, you've done well to catch some :)
You probably thought of The Office since it's British as well.
Another great reaction.
Just found you 2 .. piss funny .. x ... reactions 💖
I'm funnier. 😁
One of the very best 👌 all the very best USA
Watching an old British film and the women of the family were say around and one said When the Passed away
The husband said will you stop that they didn't passaway, pass over or bloody pass out... the died 😂
Kay sells out massive stadiums and grew up in a working class family made it big
My boss says this when we leave "Home is where the heart is!' every bloody night and I always reply "No home is where the fart is!' 🤣
the reason people ask "do you want the 42", is because thyre asking if you want the exact change, or will 4 quid do? Basically, do you need change, or do you want to get this interaction over and done with as quick a possible, because there is a que of people waiting behind you.
or you might pay with a fiver plus 42p, then expect 2 quid change
Check out Peter Kay playing the shovel
Have you seen ‘ misheard lyrics? ‘ ❤️🇬🇧
Yes. And reacted to it
It's a hot day out there doh
When someone in the UK says do you want the 42p out of the £3.42 they generally mean I am going to give you £5 for instance but do you want the 42p in change. That is what it generally means but Peter makes it sound so funny.
Us Brits just state the Obvious!! With Awesome sarcasm ❤
The little white haired lady it pans to in the audience is his Nan sitting next to his mum.
I love Jody's face as she cringes watching Micky. Sometimes it's a look of Sheer terror, as though she knows what he is saying and what Nick will drop into the Reactions at the end of your video! Keep up the sheer embarrassment Jody

This is so true what people say, especially in the North west.
I think most of that went over your heads.
Hi please try Greg Davies live at the Apollo . I think u will enjoy it
I will explain Nick why you don't walk to the pub in the Suburbs, you did ask about why you don't when you would like a beer and a pool match. It is because your always building large cardboard houses with No infrastructure the closest store and Bar a 30 min drive away! I'd still love to have moved over there but life always got in the way! Anyway when you are in the uk make sure to visit the coast around West Somerset. There are great places to visit and all are immortalised in literature.
The 2 ladies you keep seeing in the crowd when he is talking about who died and the plastic bags are his Mum and Nana.
Please do Russel Howards bit Fancy dress funeral, I believe you will really appreciate it
Do people not ask cashiers if they want the odd amount in change?
Peter Kay 😅😅,
This is very northen working class humour .
I'm not surprised some of it didn't stick.
I'll subscribe if you do another british food reaction!
See when you said no matter how much faith you have we cant really know,i'm just here to say you can be certain there's a heaven,i've been blessed enough to have been there ❤😇
This can be a problem sometimes with different accents. As to what they're saying. You would get a good bit, But not all.

Yep very familiar to all of us
