As a member of the British working class I can affirm this is exactly what we are like! 🤣
I'm British working class and also born and bred in the northwest of England.
I like to eat a black pudding and hug my whippet while I'm fouling my neighbours' pavement. 😜
Ahhh Barnsley then
@@zedcarr6128are you sure your not from Huddersfield?
London no longer an English city like many in the UK the English sold out a small island
I'm working class from the Westcountry and there's nothing I like better than chewing a stalk of corn,swigging scrumpy from my jar and harassing outsiders with my pitchfork.
" Nothing lasts forever " ( except death & taxes ). As a working class cockney still living in Hoxton & being the only family/house along our street who is actually indigenous, the last laugh we cockneys can have is knowing the run down house we bought at a knock down price is now being fought over by those with more money than sense upping bids 😁.... We held out as long as we could because pride and love of our area kept me blind to the truth. But it's all gone now. Markets. Families. No ones left from the old days. Time to move on. We did ok though, our family history here went back to 1912.
leave it to the brown people.
When I was a kid we was warned not 2 walk through Hoxton, all these years on I can't afford a pint there! It's a place that has kicked pie and mash out and replaced with sough dough and 🥑...
hahaha... Even the police would only come down the market mobbed handed. Just for ref, the Cook's Pie n Mash is still there. I popped in there last week. Double pie n mash twice = £28 🤣😅😁@@simplespanish2031
Norfolk. Most of the family moved there years ago. So leaving brown faces that hate us so we can have white ones despise us for being Londoners 😀....@@MarkSlaterMusic
I was up and down to London from Scotland in the early eighties as I was in a band ,we caught the tail end of the Cockney times,when pubs were like Eastenders ,we loved it, we loved London ,sadly the overlords have sold us all out now !
as the old joke goes, Hitler sent his bombers over the East End of London, caused a billion £pounds of improvements.
This is spot on. Enfield is a genius and his pals are all super talented.
The "what do I get for tuppence" part killed me. 😂😂
Mummmm😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
All in the style of Government information films during WWII - brilliant
Always makes me laugh, How BIG the UK is on the globe
Way back when we were British, amazing how quick a country can fall to the immigrants.
Cuthbert, Anglo Saxon immigrant.
Brown, not brown immigrants though eh, BIG difference as we are witnessing.
@mickcuthbert8792 what on Earth are you talking about??????
"What do I get for tuppence?"
"MUM!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank heaven she did shout 'DAD'!
"Cholmondeley" is a village in Cheshire and a posh family name. It is famously pronounced (in both cases) as "Chumley".
The name "Featherstonehaugh" is similar, being pronounced "Fanshawe".
It makes me think of the name Farquahar (farkwar) 😂😂
Funny story - when my sister was about 15 (I can't remember how or why) , me and my uncle had her convinced that 'Farquahar' was a REALLY bad word....one of the worst things you could say, apologising to get for even saying it in front of her and refusing to explain to her what it meant 😆.....we kept it up a few weeks before I told her it was a joke, she didn't believe it was a joke....till she found out there's a Farquagar Street in the next town 😂😂
Can't edit my grammar on this Amazon fire tablet ...but I'm writing this to acknowledge it 😂
Seeing as you mentioned Cheshire, good pub in Frodsham called "The Cholmondeley".
I once heard an American pronounce Clitheroe as "clit hero".
I don't live far from there. Cheshire is lovely.
The slobs lottery win is one of the best!👍
Classic, right up there with Only Fools Batman.
Maximum Publicity.
The Old Gits are great
Brit here. You have me creased when you react to these UK comedy shows 🤣🤣🤣😜
Mr Cholmondley-Warner is played by Jon Glover and Grayson played by Harry Enfield.
My favourites are "Women: Know Your Limits!" & "Women: For Pity's Sake Don't Drive!"
I didn't know the second one was satire...
KB you probably didn't understand how funny hearing east end cockney in an upper class accent is
The accents employed by the 'Eastenders' are actually a parody of the middle class actors who played them in films.no one ever really sounded like that.
Exactly. They're like the 'Cockneys' in the Basil Rathbone films too.
Cor blimey, I ain't 'eard anyfing like it I ain't
That was 'ard work, blimming autocorrect kept changing it!
Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins with a very realistic Cockney accent
🤣Cholmondley is pronounced "Chum-lee". Yes, the same as that muppet in the Pawn stars TV series.🤣
The car mechanic boss on the 'Inbetweeners' work experience episode called Will "Chumondley, (Chumley) Warner " because Will sounded posh. 😂😂👍
Victorian working class houses had a out side toilet and I can remember looking at the stars through the crack in the door and getting frost bite on me Mars.
Mars Bars = Arse ?😂
not on uranus?
@@njones420 ... no, that bit gets warmed from the inside ... 🤗 ...
I remember visiting my nans two up two down in Sutton, she was considered posh because not only had my mum and uncle paid for the landlord to put in a bathroom and loo they also paid for her their parents to have a phone. This was done the year after I was born 1960. They were the only house in the street to have a phone and mum told me that Nan would take messages for her neighbours and let them use the phone for a small fee.😊
@@Sofasurfa ... it feels like only yesterday that ... simpler times that I recall from my childhood. Thankyou for that ... 🤗 ...
harry enfield was amazing in the 90s. Everyone in England watched it and everyone would talk about it the next day at work. It was huge.
Harry Enfield is a British gem.
His humour is on point, and yes, is working class Brits are pretty much just like this.
Violent drunken layabouts, but we're nice people.
Harry Enfield is great as David Mitchell's dad in Upstart Crow.
I lived and worked in the 'East End' for a long time and it was just like that. 🤣 I have fond memories of living there. Thanks for the laugh.
my grandmothers terraced house in sheffied didnt have an inside toilet till 1980..
During the 1930s & 40s British made films were dominated by actors who were not exactly "working class," so they had to improvise & the results were unintentionally hilarious.
The accents Harry Enfield portray are absolutely spot on .
Minor royals sketch cracks me up every time. 😂
In the same vein (in case you haven’t seen them), there’s The Conjugal Rights Guide and also Methods of Self Defence.
I think he’s done them both…but not 100% sure
@@kenirving5240 You’re probably right!
Yup, he’s already done those months ago…
@@philstephenson5855 Thanks, I should’ve checked properly.
Harry Enfield I appreciate more now than I did back then, his Kevin the teenager skits are a joy capturing how every teenager behaved in the 1990s, and his baby skits are funny too.
My nanna came from Stepney and Limehouse in the East End of London, very poor family, but she moved out to the coast where she married my Grandad. I remember going to their house where my Dad grew up, toilet was outside, no bathroom, tin bath on the kitchen door, it was like stepping back in time, with the old furniture etc. As children we didn’t care about material things, phones, computers etc, out in the woods or on our bikes all day. Even today, sense of humour is well and truly alive. God bless you, Boomer family ❤
Advertisement breaks is a good clip,and the one called the playboys is brilliant
As a member of the Northern Working Class I can confirm that we do not associate with these Southern Toffs !!. 'Now weres mi Whippet and Flat Cap !!'.
I remember life being like this when I was a kid
I remember living in East London with a black & white TV 📺 until about 1980. This American 🇺🇸 should watch #Eastenders now to compare & contrast- or listen to the #ChasandDave.
@@aclark903 proper entertainment
I really liked your review Excellent Guv. Caught me right in the Queensburys it did.
I'm from the East End. That made me laugh. The old saying was about the outside toilets was "they demolished the old houses and put up slums"
THERE WAS A LOT OF COCKNEY RHYMING SLANG THERE, WHICH YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE TRANSLATED. THEY USED TO SAY THAT IF YOU GAVE THE POOR A NICE NEW IN-DOOR BATH,
THEY'D ONLY KEEP THEIR COAL IN IT.
And all of it wrong too ( incorrect consonants mostly)which made it even funnier.
WE'LL MAKE A NOTE OF THAT@@seriousoldman8997
Love the huge size of the uk on the globe 🌍😆
Thankyou, I missed that at first.
0:45 Mr. Chalmondely~Warner is a favourite and infamous character of his.
Pronounced
"Chumlee Warner" by the way. A bit like other surnames such as Featherstonehaugh pronounced Fanshaw
Fouling the pavement is sadly a thing which is now returning to the East End and London.
You should see the BBC's Article on the "Spaghetti-Harvest in Ticino"
Having been living with the British for 800 years we in Ireland know this is exactly what they are like but they do love a Dr Jeckal and Mr Hide
The guy on the stage was riding a bicycle.
Cholmondley is pronounced Chumley.
St John sometimes Synjon
Dalziel pronounced Dee-ell
English names can be weird.
@krulwurld1791 I hate to burst your bubble but Dalziel is a Scottish name, we have plenty of oddly pronounced names too
@@eddiewhite7309 I knew that but forgot. My bad.
the music used for these skits is by Eric Coates, whose music often featured in real news reals of the period and a wartime radio show called 'music while you work'
tricycle that bike, early comedic stuff from the musical era, roundabout Chaplin time, clownish actor from that era too, forgot his name. Our snooty, superior posh class really did look down on us like that in those days as if we were a lower species. Some still do.
Try Kenny Everett with his character's cupid stunt and sid snot aired in the 1970s years ahead of its time
Hilarious 😂😂😂
The first house I bought in Bradford England. It was a through terrace house with a midden (outside toilet).
Being English myself I understood every single thing on that sketch, all of the language, all of the lingo and all of the slang and it was hilarious because I don't watch harry Enfield at all....tupence is/ was 2p...worth today about 3.5 cents... He got the mother for that, that was classic..... I think I'm going to watch UA-cam enfield sketches thank you for putting this up, it suddenly out of nowhere appearing in my feed.
Actually tuppence was 2d not 2p.
@@jonathanwarrenberg9260 I believe he was saying that tuppence was the equivalent to 2pence in today's money, which is correct, it is.
2d and 2p are not the same. 240d was equal to £1. 100p now equals £1.00.
@@westwonic a marvel comic in the 60s was 12 cents and marked up as 10d...when sent to the UK
Cor Blimey a septic tank takes a shine to our Harry !
Being from the west-end I am jealous of the filth and depravity of the east-end.
Funniest line ever “…..MUM!”
"you caught me in the Queensberrys" 🤣....Queensberry rules = balls
Nope. Queensbury Rules = Family Jewels = a gentleman's whatchamacallits.
The up to date version being 'the Niagra's'.
I'm more used to hearing '...kick in the orchestras'.
(Orchestra stalls😉)
The Two Ronnie's the swear jar. It's very funny
The women dancing are Ethel Revnell and Gracie West, a famous theatrical and film duo of the thirties, forties and early fifties. There's a video of them on here somewhere.
hope the queen and princess are keeping well xx
You should check out some Hale and Pace sketches. Particularly the Cat and Microwave sketch, and the cannibal one.
It warms my heart how Americans appreciate Harry Enfield. He’s so underrated over here sadly.
If by “here” you mean the UK, Harry Enfield has been a very highly rated comedian for decades
@@dannjp75 I don’t know about that. People here love him, but imo he has never been seen as a great comedian, rather a popular one.
"Mum" made me howl......
I like the way as soon as the clip starts rolling you have a pre-emptive grin on your face.
Very smart and just brilliant comedy. A lot of cockney rhyming slang in there, cor blimey governor straight up the apple and pears etc
He is a comedic legend
As an Englishman, I approve this message.
The ONE-WHEELED BICYCLE is known as a 'UNICYCLE', and it is mostly commonly used these days in vents such as Circuses and Theatre Comedies.. Hope this helps. :-D
Love you dude ❤️
No, really it is difficult to truly express what a piece of pure genius that really was. The truth is that this is how the mouthpiece of the British ruling and upper classes known as the BBC still regard the working classes which is more than 99% of the entire British indeed world population. This is really the point that is being made here. The BBC regards the great unwashed 99% as so incredibly thick that they still believe that more than a tiny minority of them believe any more than the BBC's sporting results.
30 odd years ago The BBC used to be fairly good at pretending that they somehow represented the British working class and non-existent middle class but they have long since given up even trying to pretend, such is their utter contempt for the common people of all nations' colors and creeds.
Having said all of that, this has nothing to do with the BBC or The UK. The ruling elites of this world hate us all almost as much as they fear us all. As soon as they can get a machine to wipe their backsides for them and clean up their mess they would gladly murder us all if they thought that they could get away with it.
Loved watching Harry Enfield, made me cry with laughter 😂
Were his shows broadcast on TV in the states? Or have you discovered him on youtube? 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 👍🏼😁😁
One other comic aspect of the Miles Cholmondley-Warner character is an idiosyncratic aspect of the English language as it was actually pronounced Miles CHUMLEY-Warner, a hangover from the mix of languages that arrived at modern English.
On a serious note, if you want to experience an American’s view of the East End of old, read ‘The Abyss’ by Jack London, at the time he was the most popular author and wealthiest on earth. His autobiographical works are absolutely incredible too. He is probably most famous for the classic first person tale of a dog, called ‘The Call of the Wild’
British Comedy at it's Best 😂😂😂😂 just saying from Glasgow 😎🇬🇧
I do hope you watch The Fast Show king Boomer...or at least know of it (Paul Whitehouse and the others)....tis brilliant. ..
Tarra lol we say Tarra all the time here..well I do :)
Do ty the Harry Enfield and the German Tourist skits. Very funny and very acutely observed.
Boom boom 💥
The bike is called a penny farthing.
Love it.
Have you done Harry and Paul - where’s the bloke?
You need to look up translations for Cockney rhyming slang me old chna - china plate - 'mate'.
When he says 'frog & toad' it means 'road'. The slang was originally thought up by the East London Cockneys to confuse the Old Bill (police). It's still in use today in many instances and even across the country many people will know what a 'jam jar' is for example - car.
I used to drive buses in London so I was used to a bit more, 'syrup' - wig, from syrup of figs. Having a giraffe, "You're 'aving a giraffe ain't cha?" Having a laugh for example.
You'd like his parody of When Harry Met Sally
For the yanks,,frog n toad = road. Pigs ear = beer .
East London is now probably one of the most fashionable but also unequal places in Europe. It's been heavily gentrified over the past thirty odd years and much of it is now overrun with yuppies and hipsters with trust funds - see the grimly prophetic mid-2000s Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris sitcom Nathan Barley - while low earners have been pushed out to decaying estates ridden with crime and poverty, or worse than that, Essex. Awful place.
Our first house only had an out side loo.
Lol❤ The first part is cockney rhyming slang, a send up of, you probably would have to be British to get that. HE goes up in my estimation all the time
Harry Enfield is Grayson, and his boss is Mr Cholmondely Warner (pronounced 'Chumly Warner'.
Do some movies reaction. If you have time. Harry is a legend over here in the UK!
Harry Enfield is a great observer of the British Class system. All his clips on You Tube are worth a watch. Not sure if Colonials will get ii though.
In the later series they try to breed a northerner with a phillipino cleaner😂 also look up the fast show and the suit you men
If you like the black and white ones, look at "it's grim up north"
Cholmondeley is pronounced Chummly for some arcane reason of the language.
Might I suggest Fast Show's Chip Cobb as a reaction video. John Thompson plays a deaf stuntman. Also keep up the good work.
So many gems to cover there - I still get incontinent when I watch YT's compilation of Jazz Club, with Louis Balfour. The one with the black dude blowing out his cheeks absolutely wrecks me!
Yes an exaggeration of the working class, but the joke is against the presenters. Very funny.
Harry Enfield,the demon winger 😅
It's actually pronounced "Chumley"; they are a real aristocratic family and own huge estates in Kenya.
Luv a Duck!
Black book, black books, black books, black books, black books, black books black books 😝
Would you be referring to the tv series of the same name, same name, same name ... ?
Yes indeed. It’s part of the must watch, Father Ted, IT Crowd and black books. Some say if you don’t watch all three you will die a horrible death involving a turnip.
Best sketch from Harry Enfield is the northerner that wants too attack the postman
Just to help our US friends Mr Cholmondley-Warner is pronounced 'Chumley-Warner' - another little joke about our crazy British names.😅
Once we get the Lager in this is us…😂😂😂
Now that is was mentioned, try an episode or two of "Upstart Crow" with David Mitchell.
You should react to “The Windsors” Harry Enfield plays Prince Charles. Fantastic.
Such a funny parody of public information broadcasts of the fifties and sixties, I can’t imagine how an American views this!
Harry and Paul - David Cameron Quare is very good
Did you notice the size of the British Isles on the revolving globe?
The slang although old its so understandable, probably not to Gen Z but anyone english with half a penny upstairs will get it, slang mix of cockney and yammy in there its great lol
Have you seen "Conjugal rights" mr Chumondley Warner ..
Hi boomer, not commented on yr vids ina while . Brill vid as always. Hope you and QB are well ❤
