Our US friends need to appreciate that, in this show, Al Murray is playing a character he created, the pub landlord, whose personality would be immediately recognisable to most British people ( certainly of a certain age). The main traits of this character are being self opinionated, “ mildly” racist and misogynistic. In reality Al is a highly educated historian who attended Oxford university ( think Yale, Harvard, Princeton). He comes from a military family and co hosts a history pod cast ( called “ We have ways of making you talk”) with James Holland, a well known writer of factual history books. I have seen Al many times and he is hilarious. Don’t take offence as the, obvious, one sidedness of his opinions is part of the act and what makes it funny.
I'm sure you will know, and it's probably mentioned here in your comments, a lot of British humour is based on deprecation and sarcasm both to ourselves and to others and is often a term of endearment to ourselves and to our friends. My understanding is Americans can often misunderstand this nuance and can sometimes be offended.
Al Murray is hilarious! He plays a stereotypical English pub landlord character, who basically takes the piss out of the UK because the stereotype of a lot of English pub landlords are very much like Al Murray's character😂
They've done so already, and ps really jealous you are in a place you can keep Chameleon's always wanted one but illegal here sadly (like most reptiles here)
@@Steve-xz9gp I have to trust myself in the fact that here in norway we can atleast keep pretty much any inverterbrate, unlike the US, so its a tit far tat deal I guess
That was funny especially the part firing horses at the enemy. I think you will both like Al Murray what hell is like in other countries. And Al Murray how world finances work and as usual a lot of truth in what he says. Brilliant reaction good choice of video to react to as usual keep em coming.
Surely they are there to keep an eye on horologists. Their other role was to guard national treasure Cilla Black, but sadly she is no longer with us, so it's all about the horologists these days.
Although it's Al Murray on stage he is portraying a character he developed, the Pub Landlord (hence the bar and beer on stage), a rather reactionary character that has very stereotyped and jingoistic opinions. But even in this character he actually takes the micky out of everybody, including us Brits. There's so many good clips of him on UA-cam - I would recommend "Nations of the World" and "Al Murray vs Americans." On another note though - we actually lost the 100 years war. Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt were great victories but it was Formigny and Castillon, French victories that ended the war. A result of the loss of the French territories led to the Wars of the Roses in England.
Actually we won the 100 yrs war in terms of territory. I think you're thinking of certain battles, not the whole thing. It was a war about dynsstic claims anyway. The wars were so bloody, both the male sides of the claims were literally wiped out.
If you haven't seen it then Ali G interviewing Victoria and David Beckham for Comic Relief 👌 waaay funnier than you might imagine...and they take it really well.
Good reaction, Al Murray - What every parent must know, is something you will enjoy as well. For other British comics, try Jimmy Carr and Sarah Millican
Don't take his joking about the US army too seriously. He did a serious documentary called The Road to Berlin, in which he shows great respect to American soldiers. Don't forget this is comedy.
I am a new fan of your stuff and I feel like MikeBurnFire stories and whatnot would be a fun series to see you guys react to, it is a series of videos from a ex Army and a ex Marine telling their storys.
His character is a conservative, chauvinistic, patriarchal, insular Pub Landlord. Off stage he is a very smart cookie. underneath it all he is mocking the type of character he plays and in my opinion, does a good job. He is easily one of my favourite comedians.
@@JohnKobaRuddy While others yet have misconstrued his broad, playful satire as mockery of a specific subsect of his admirers. He's a smart cookie on stage, too; he routinely exposes, in comment sections such as these, the self-importance of those demonising the views he espouses in-character.
@@chrissedaka8141 you're suggesting that he intentionall uses his comedy to expose people in the you tube comments section. The fact that people are 'exposed' as you put it, does not necessarily follow from the premise that this occurs because it is the intention of Al Murray.
Just shows that the American's aren't insecure- they are willing to laugh at themselves when a foreigner tells jokes against them in good humour. I can imagine if the roles were reversed the British would be offended (speaking as a Brit!)
My argument for the marines in the desert is this. What are beaches made of? Sand. What are deserts made of? Sand. Therefore, marine=bonus to attack in sandy environments. Perfect troops for the job.
Great Reaction Guys. I can think of 16 different types of British humoUr and, yes, that does include "Scafenfreund" making fun and gaining pleasure from the discomfort of your friends (Males only ). There is Silly humour, Puns, Wordplay, jokes, Deadpan, Dry, Sarcastic, Absurd, Irony, Understatement, Satire, Banter, Innuendo, Cringe and Self-Deprecation. That will do for now :)
Mikeburnfire military stories would be great! they talk about a campfire in Fallout New Vegas and talk about their time as one a Cpl. in the Marines and the other a Small Arms repairman in the Army
Okay. He's as thick as Marmite, never passed his eleven plus & all graduates of Oxford & Cambridge universities have to spend three years as a pub landlord to give them a grounding in normal life. It's the law.
You should also try out Micky Flanagan, Jim Davidson, Sarah Millican and if you can find any and I will warn you if your easily offended don't watch him Roy Chunny brown. Oh I almost forgot Billy Connelly as well he's definitely really funny.
Al, should know that the Welsh guard the Queen. Which he left out as I'm sure it's embarrassing for an Englishman to have his sovereign guarded by mainly Welsh.
Get your Chicago selves to the U.K Al is touring with new Pub Landlord stuff. Oh by the way Kiera is a bit gorgeous and I guess I should get a grip but ...
Yet he fails to mention how the following year the English attempted a massive Naval assault on the Spanish known as The English Armada which was a complete catastrophe with the English losing some 40 ships and 20000 men.
Al Murray why the Scots want to leave the UK also Scottish accents and Geordies and Scousers as well also al murray has a history Degree and the lager is non alcoholic
Uh.. Haven't lost a war in a thousand years? We (the US) kicked their asses twice inside of 30 years... Now we're friends again and that's awesome, but let's not rewrite history.
Twice? you mean when the British burned down the white house and the Americans sued for peace? the one the British were simultaneously fighting while in a much more important war?
There's always at least one American who gets their panties in a twist and wants to defend what they think is their honour whilst replying about a COMEDY skit.
@@zahrans But that is not the point! You are using a form of whataboutism. Plus are you really proud of the colonial past? I am not for our Dutch colonial past. Yes, the Dutch and British fought against each other and even side by side. The British were even ruled by a Dutch king, and the English have indeed taken over many parts of the world. Plus we didn’t really have much colonies to begin with. Apart from Indonesia and Suriname, part of Brasil and South Africa. As far as I know only New York (trade with Suriname) and South Africa were taken over by the British. To be clear, I like Al Murray, he is brilliant and extremely funny. The way he played the role of the average Brit that sees Britain as the center of the world with extreme national and cultural pride is amazing. But with his Oxford eduction in history he should know better. And he probably does, but to keep up his character he sometimes has to bend facts a little. I don’t mind, but I have the right to place a comment to correct him once in a while.
Love watching you two reacting to Al Murray. It would be great to see you reaching to my favourite comedian Stewart Lee on Osama Bin Laden ua-cam.com/video/Uj2LcKdRU0o/v-deo.html
