Chris Addison is a seriously under-rated comedian. I always remember his: "Are there any students here tonight" *muffled cheers* "I thought I priced you f"*^ers out".
Frankie Boyle was a force on this show - there's a compilation or several of his Scenes We'd Like To See which I'd highly recommend reacting to, they're brutally funny.
When you paused to talk about Frankie not being in it, you had Chris Addison on screen - he basically took Frankie's spot as the regular sitting on the extreme left for a couple of seasons, then moved on himself. He mostly directs these days - VEEP for instance, having starred in the creator's earlier sitcom THE THICK OF IT.
9:48 A&E = Accident and Emergency = The ER B&Q = a British home improvement superstore, like Home Depot 11:45 Henry Hoover is a well-known (and very reliable) brand of vacuum cleaner (hoover) with a friendly face printed on it 18:35 The shipping forecast is a regular maritime weather forecast read out over the radio that has a very specific format and terse language (as he's imitating), part of which is the barometric pressure and what trend it's following (rising slowly, falling moderately, etc) to give an indication of how the weather is changing.The seas around the UK are divided up into zones covered in the forecast, one of which is called Dogger. So part of a forecast might go something like "Dogger. 1021. Rising slowly". The joke here comes from the fact that in British English 'dogger' also refers to someone who engages in the practice of clandestine public sex in their car in the view of strangers, who come to watch for their own gratification. Hence him saying "Dogger. Car park. My penis. Rising slowly."
Also 2:20 Pointless in the name of a popular quiz show and The Jeremy Kyle Show was a day time tabloid talk show 4:15 Flog It! is an antiques show where members of the public bring in antiques for experts to inspect and value which can then be auctioned off.
“Hoover” is a brand name and actually has nothing to do with the product type. A British company named Pneumatic make the Henry. It’s similar to saying “Google it” even when people may not even be actually using Google to research something. Both are names of a product or company that have become synonymous with the product of service they are providing. It’s really interesting actually.
@@rachelBrady-ni I prefer the Roman way. “Britain” comes from the Latin word “Britannia” which is what the island used to be called, therefore you can consider it an historical reference. Look up the song “Rule, Britannia” and you’ll see what I mean. Thank you.

Britain's comedy quiz shows; Qi, Mock The Week, 9 Out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News For You and Never Mind The Buzzcocks along with Would I Lie To You are almost a tradition these days. Some have faded and some come back into their own, some new ones come along too - 9 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. Not The Nine O'Clock News should probably be there too.. There's so much gold.
You laughed at the "How to use a DVD" DVD joke but that actually happened. When the Sinclair Spectrum Computer was released the "How to use your Spectrum" instructions were on a program that you had to load to find out how to load a program.
The guy you asked about at the end (his last effort being the Test Match joke) is Ed Byrne. He's fairly recognisable in the UK appearing in a number of panel shows and such throughout the last 20 yrs (he appeared in Father Ted early in his career), and is a pretty funny standup. Like the long time host Dara O Briain, he's Irish.

Frankie Boyle didn’t change, people who think he’s woke now must have never really understood his jokes. Also he was amazing on this show! And I love your reaction p…
He is most certainly woke. Forget his jokes, look at his shows and articles. He has made his career on 'edgy' jokes and is kicking the ladder out from under himself.
@@anne_frank_ Yes he is woke as are most right thinking people. The future of comedy, and of being a decent person, is to punch up at those that deserve it rather than punching down at people just because they are different from you. Have you seen some of his monologues at the end of New World Order? He certainly does still tell shocking/edgy jokes !
Frankie was an original on the show and did the first seven series of the show before getting kicked off as too offensive. (There used to be two regulars and a guest on each side. Now its just Dara and Hugh.) Frankie got banned from the BBC for a while but got back on around the Scottish Referendum when they needed Scottish comedians. Most of the "too hot for TV" special episodes are mostly Frankie. You picked one of the "best bits" specials instead. There's basically three types of doctors call on the NHS. There's a regular appointment that takes a week. (checkup or sore hip) There's an emergency appointment that can be the same or next day. (You're ill.) Then there's a home visit if you can't make it to the doctor, and he judges if you need to go to the hospital. (You're bedridden) There's no fee, they get paid an agreed rate by the NHS per person seen. (some have contracts stating they don't do home visits.) In Scotland there's no prescription charges. Your medication is free. (Again covered by the NHS through money provided by the Scottish government.) An example would be, I fell on Sunday, went to casualty and got stitches. I called on the Monday to arrange and get my stitches out on the following Monday at a local health centre at their treatment room. When I cleaned the wound on Tuesday it looked iffy, I phoned an appointment and got a doctor to call me back same day. I sent him a picture of the wound. I got prescribed antibiotics, my sister picked up the prescription for me same day. All with minimum fuss and no cost to me, other than my taxes that I'm already paying. I've been told the bill in the states would be massive. A&E is our casualty department in the local hospital, you would call it an ER. (Again all costs covered by the NHS) Accident and Emergency and Emergency Room. Wards in a British hospital are lettered. i.e. ward N South, Ward G, etc. and usually correspond to the floor of the building they are on. (Our taxes covers the NHS funding.) B&Q is our version of Home Depot.
He wasn't kicked off, he was never banned, he quit because the BBC became too restrictive after the fallout from the Ross/Brand call to Andrew Sachs. He was effectively banned from Channel 4 after some paralympics jokes he made on Twitter.
@@sierraromeoromeo2444 I thought he got bounced after the comic relief incident. There's been so many calls to ban him its hard to keep up with. There was the Paralympic one and then a couple of years ago was the IRA one.
@@Bazk01 As far as I'm aware, FB never did CR, Jimmy Carr did though. Maybe memories are bleeding over? Edit: Regardless, it's been known for ages that leaving the Beeb was his choice. C4, not his choice, but their loss!
@@sierraromeoromeo2444 My memory is terrible for dates, I had to look it up. FB was on CR 2013. It was part of the stage gig they showed and he did a joke about the queen that started them cutting his broadcast, then he did one about the pope and then Pistorius. They ended up cutting out chunks of the act. The gig was on a 2 and a half hour delay to be broadcast on the night. So they could cut it to bits. I think it was Brand who was the face of the gig and was compere.
Hi- I'm new to the channel. The British game shows brought me here. I am from Michigan and also started watching these shows. Mock the Week is one of the few I'd recommend these compilations rather than watch the full shows. The first part is topical, local jokes. The show has been around for 20 series. So you will hear jabs at politicians and topics long gone. Easy for the jokes to go over your head. There are different formats out there. This one is a compilation of one segment. Others are per comedian. There is one over a half hour long of just Ed Byrne. Yes, that is Stewart Francis, also is a repeat guest. Wait until you first run across Milton Jones. I think you will like him.
Ed Byrne (the one you said you liked) is fantastic, and coz he isn't hugely famous I've seen him like 4 times at super good prices. Same with dave gorman who is soooo good, but his stand up isn't the kind you can react to so if you ever fancied him I'd recommend Terms And Conditions Apply (comedy with other comedians on it)
The Jeremy Kyle Show was basically like our Jerry Springer. It was cancelled a few years back after a person who appeared on it committed suicide after their episode aired on TV. (Think that's what happened anyway)
Yes, that IS Stuart Francis. Also we invented Who's Line Is It Anyway, we then sold it to the states. Have a look for the early seasons of Mock The Week for Frankie Boyle. He used to smash it, sadly he left after having a lot of negative press and health reasons.
You thought the mole joke was funny, this happened about 1 week ago. A bomb squad was called out to a hospital after an A&E patient needed help getting a World War Two artillery shell out of his rectum. The unnamed man told Gloucestershire Royal Hospital he ‘slipped and fell’ on the 57mm piece of weaponry on Wednesday. The shell had been apparently lying on the floor while the patient was clearing out his collection of military memorabilia.
I never even thought to recommend this show, theres so much of it on youtube. Had different comedians coming on each show and Frankie was a regular for a long period, you'll find tons of him on it on youtube
Frankie Boyle was always left-wing, he just has a show now where he talks openly about politics. His jokes were always shocking and still are, but I think they're even more brutal now content wise. He's obviously not PC. I guess you could call some of his stances "woke", but if you just disagree and that's why you can't laugh at his jokes that are still just as hilarious and brutal, I think you're the snowflake :P
Seems fair. I think he's an insufferable hypocrite these days but I still think he's funny. Good thing comedians aren't supposed to be role models or thought leaders lol.
@@ETRTriad Like who? Not being funny but I'm curious which comedians Boyle has wrote for. I can think of no one offhand, obviously his stuff is his own (Tramadol Nights etc) and I know Mock the Week was a concerted effort by the whole team... but what stand-up would perform someone else's material? Especially in this day and age, where a comic onstage always shares parts of themselves... Good and bad, to an audience, rants about their personal woes, hatreds, annoyances.. a totally unique personality is at the helm, the audience has to be made to react to them and won over.... Yesteryears 'This man walked into a bar' shit a la Tarby now there's material that could be written by anyone and uttered to a captive audience... it has none of the clout of the former.
This is only one round of the show. A lot of the time they are sitting down giving satricial or silly answers to the week's news, thus "mocking the week". There is also a stand-up challenge round, where a comedian from each side is given time to tell their best jokes on a topic.
The Jeremy Kyle show is basically like the Jerry springer show, Pointing and laughing at the worst examples of humanity. My best friend got both my wife and daughter pregnant… that sort of thing.
Mock the week has a permanent host (Dara O'Brien) and a number of recurring panellists -Frankie was in the early series. The only panellist to be in all the series is Hugh Dennis (suited gent, middle of right hand side). The main part of the show is about UK political news and major events. The scenes we'd like to see is the light relief segment. It's 3 mins per topic and is given 2 themes. There is also the random topic wheel where X comedians have to do a short routine based on a random theme. E.g. Transport.
the cash in the attic joke was not about Anne Frank, in case you were worrying. It was about a relatively recent case of a guy who kept a family captive.
hugh dennis is a legend wait until you hear his voiceover from mock the week on prince phillip haha the section of the show is called `newsreel` AMAZING!!!
He was also in the latest James Bond movie as the 'soup scientist'. He kept it all a secret from everyone so there was a huge chunk of the next show after the movie's release all about his role in the film.
@@KathleenMc73 i would not have known about that as i dont watch any bonds but thanks for that =) he was also in a brilliant comedy called outnumbered years ago the kids were funny also in that
Just so you know, A&E stands for Accident and Emergency. It means “hospital.” B&Q, on the other hand, is a home and hardware store. The abbreviations sound coincidentally similar in their structure, which is why the joke works!; “Unfortunately we’ve run out of room in A&E, we’re going to have to send you to B&Q.”
Over in the UK we got many programs you'd be surprised, hill street blues, taxi, we even got, wishing on a star. Alf, lost in space lillte house on... the Walton, texas ranger, Canadian mounty, jag. Miami vice, kojac, macgyver. My personal fav moonlighting.
06:47 Honestly not the most distressing thing I've heared recently since the EOD squads had to be called to Gloucester hospital (UK) after doctors removed WW2 era ordinance from a guy's rear end.
When British people say a doctor they normally mean a GP or family medical practitioners in the US. Yes you can wait a while for an appointment, but if it's an emergency it's normally possible to see one that day. I had to see a doctor the other day, phoned up and booked an appointment for that very day, but simple things you can wait a while. It all comes down to priorities, like do you have a just cough compared to, are you coughing up blood. The other thing you have to realise is that in the UK we go to the doctor if we do not feel right, preventive care. Preventive care is when someone integrates healthy behaviors into their lifestyle, they are practicing preventive care. This type of care takes place before any signs or symptoms of a condition or disease have been detected. So Doctor can get booked up a lot. Whereas in the States it's more likely you only go when you really need to, so reactive care, but by that time it could already be to late. In the UK we don't go to a hospital unless it's really bad, then you go to A&E (accident and emergency), where you will be seen in an hour or two, again down to priorities, as you maybe que jumped by someone that's been in a car crash.
It is possible to be woke and brutal. I agree with Jonny, he was always woke, he wrote pieces for The Guardian in 2015 I think. The thing is he never used to bring his wokeness into his comedy, that's what changed.
Whose Line Is It Anyway was indeed a UK invention. But ironically, it was still Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles that made the UK show a hit, same as for the US version (both were directed by a Brit, Dan Patterson).
A & E is the Accident and Emergency department of hospitals, B & Q is a D. I. Y supermarket. Jeremy Kyle was the U.K.'s Jerry Springer. He's off the air now after a guest/victim committed suicide. That 'mole up the arse' gag was just topped by some bloke who shoved a WW2 shell up his and there was a bomb disposal team as well as a Doctor involved! There are Vacuum Cleaners over here called Henry Hoovers that have a smiley face on them for the lonely and insecure. There is also a female version as someone must have complained this was sexist...
Mock the week has changes of comedians per week with different subjects so it would be worth it to see other episodes which Frankie Boyle would be Probably be in. Ps The guy Spencer said he liked is Ed Byrne
After god knows how many years, mock the week has finally wound up. The number of start up comedians went through this program. For Frankie, you need the earlier shows.
Also relevant is that his UK TV show was canceled after one of his guests committed suicide at least partly due to the complete lack of support from the show. Side note: Many moons ago I used to work at a hotel in Salford that had the contract to put up the Jeremy Kyle Show's out out town guests. I remember such classic examples as the guy who ordered toast one morning then blurted "Oh, no! I can't eat anything! I'm having a DNA test later!"
Ok guys. This is a panel show and what you are watching is only a part of the show. It has different comedians on every week but there are comedians who are on everyweek like hugh dennis and frankie boyle for some seasons. These clips are from a season that Frankie Boyle wasn't on. You really need to see a whole show to get the concept of it as the other parts are just as funny or more where frankie boyle is concerned.
Ye Frankie Biyle was always hilarious and likes to push boundaries. Also I think you should check out Mrs Brown's Boys. It's so so funny. They even leave in out takes.
Yes that is Stuart Francis ( Canadian ) . . also Canadian is the lady towards the end of the video Katherine Ryan. . the part about A and E ( accident and emergency ) being full up and being sent to B and Q . . B and Q is a DIY/ hardware store
‘Mock the Week’ is a comedy panel show featuring different comedians or celebrities each episode. Frankie Boyle was a regular for many seasons - and that was earlier on in his career At its peak it was a very good, funny and popular series
Whereas Whose Line is pretty much all about the stage performance, most of Mock the Week is in a news quiz format similar to Have I Got News For You but with even less concern for the correct answers, as long as they can pile on the jokes.
We nicked the judge Judy idea,and got our own UK one called Judge Rinder Or judge Romesh Judge Romesh is a British comedy television show broadcast on Dave. It features Romesh Ranganathan settling disputes in a fictional civil court. The show is unscripted, and the claimant and defendant are generally members of the public, although some cases are between celebrities.
A and E is Accident and Emergency, your ER. B&Q (Block & Quale) is a DIY store There is a vacuum cleaner called 'Henry' "Test match special" is Ed Byrne This is one segment of this show
Fun fact: Teletubbies was filmed just south of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire. This is the birthplace of William Shakespeare and the long-term home of Gordon Ramsay. A little place called Sweet Knowle in Wimpstone.
The wait to see a doctor is based on emergency - if its a minor injury or concern, you can safely wait 1-2 weeks should the condition not get worse. If its a moderate concern, you can say its a bigger deal and you can get a quicker appointment than that. If its a potential medical emergency or a concern that can permanently cause you long term damage or disability without intervention to reverse it, you go straight to A&E. Depending on urgency of it at hospital, it could be immediate care (heart attack, stabbing, car crash, stroke), care in a couple hours (mental health crisis, minor crash or accident injury) or many hours for emergencies below those. The idea is you're safer at the hospital if things need more urgent response, even if waiting is unpleasant, because you're literally waiting for beds to become available. Waiting time is based on urgency and availability. If 100 people got transported to one hospital after a major traffic accident, your sprained wrist will need to wait until doctors can see you. It seems like a big deal, but this is all free and triaged treatment. If you're feeling extremely distressed due to mental health crisis, you can call an ambulance and they will bring you to hospital for free so you're safer and can receive psychiatric care - not immediate sectioning or the police. Chronic pain conditions can be supplementary treated with gas and air (oxygen diluted nitrous oxide) until more intense pain relief can be provided and safely supervised by an available doctor (such as opiates). Its not a perfect system, and without proper governmental funding it'll only decline. But it keeps every person in need of care, getting care. If you want your concerns seen quicker no matter the triage, you can pay out of pocket for private healthcare.
perfectly said, FREE healthcare is there for all, but those who WANT paid healthcare can get it - whereas in the US you pay for everything - also as a side note our british paid healthcare is still like 1/3 of the price of the American healthcare so the Yanks are still getting fucked over by their country

Wards in a British hospital are lettered. i.e. ward N South, Ward G, etc. and usually correspond to the floor of the building they are on. (Our taxes covers the NHS funding.)
B&Q is our version of Home Depot.
We have named wards in some hospitals , some from closed hospitals folded into new buildings, others from doctors
He wasn't kicked off, he was never banned, he quit because the BBC became too restrictive after the fallout from the Ross/Brand call to Andrew Sachs. He was effectively banned from Channel 4 after some paralympics jokes he made on Twitter.
@@sierraromeoromeo2444 I thought he got bounced after the comic relief incident. There's been so many calls to ban him its hard to keep up with. There was the Paralympic one and then a couple of years ago was the IRA one.
@@Bazk01 As far as I'm aware, FB never did CR, Jimmy Carr did though. Maybe memories are bleeding over? Edit: Regardless, it's been known for ages that leaving the Beeb was his choice. C4, not his choice, but their loss!
@@sierraromeoromeo2444 My memory is terrible for dates, I had to look it up. FB was on CR 2013. It was part of the stage gig they showed and he did a joke about the queen that started them cutting his broadcast, then he did one about the pope and then Pistorius. They ended up cutting out chunks of the act. The gig was on a 2 and a half hour delay to be broadcast on the night. So they could cut it to bits. I think it was Brand who was the face of the gig and was compere.
There is no better fun than watching your reaction vids and laughing All The Way Through 😂👍
Hi- I'm new to the channel. The British game shows brought me here. I am from Michigan and also started watching these shows. Mock the Week is one of the few I'd recommend these compilations rather than watch the full shows. The first part is topical, local jokes. The show has been around for 20 series. So you will hear jabs at politicians and topics long gone. Easy for the jokes to go over your head. There are different formats out there. This one is a compilation of one segment. Others are per comedian. There is one over a half hour long of just Ed Byrne. Yes, that is Stewart Francis, also is a repeat guest. Wait until you first run across Milton Jones. I think you will like him.
Milton Jones is great
Milton and Stewart are two of my favourites
Ed Byrne (the one you said you liked) is fantastic, and coz he isn't hugely famous I've seen him like 4 times at super good prices.
Same with dave gorman who is soooo good, but his stand up isn't the kind you can react to so if you ever fancied him I'd recommend Terms And Conditions Apply (comedy with other comedians on it)
Yes, Ed Byrne and and Dave Gorman are awesome comedians! They're criminally underrated.
From UK "who's line is it anyway" was awesome, that program had us in stitches, wish it was still on with original cast.
I would never want to play high stakes poker against Hugh (dude in a suit). His poker face is so good.
The Jeremy Kyle Show was basically like our Jerry Springer. It was cancelled a few years back after a person who appeared on it committed suicide after their episode aired on TV.
(Think that's what happened anyway)
Yes, that IS Stuart Francis. Also we invented Who's Line Is It Anyway, we then sold it to the states. Have a look for the early seasons of Mock The Week for Frankie Boyle. He used to smash it, sadly he left after having a lot of negative press and health reasons.
He's Canadian, and very proud of the education system in Canadia.
Also, notably, Mock the Week was created by the same guy who created Who's Line, I'm pretty sure.
@@AmazingChi Dan Patterson and Mark Leverson are responsible for both
Katheryn Ryan (another canadian) was in the same lineup too
"It's that American dude"! Yep, that's right, Stuart Francis from Canada....lol
Both Whose line and also Mock the week are linked by Dan Paterson who i believe is the director of both shows :)
British humour is brutal and can be dark sometimes but you still laugh
"Scenes we'd like to see" is only one section of Mock the Week. Really need to see an entire episode to appreciate it.
You thought the mole joke was funny, this happened about 1 week ago.
A bomb squad was called out to a hospital after an A&E patient needed help getting a World War Two artillery shell out of his rectum.
The unnamed man told Gloucestershire Royal Hospital he ‘slipped and fell’ on the 57mm piece of weaponry on Wednesday.
The shell had been apparently lying on the floor while the patient was clearing out his collection of military memorabilia.
he put it up his arse on purpose, what a lad
Correct guys, that was Stuart Francis (Canadian though) 👍🏻
As well as the woman, Katherine Ryan
I never even thought to recommend this show, theres so much of it on youtube. Had different comedians coming on each show and Frankie was a regular for a long period, you'll find tons of him on it on youtube
There's often a wait for non-emergency stuff, but we have the option to 'go private' if we can afford it. We'll not go bankrupt, though.
Frankie Boyle was always left-wing, he just has a show now where he talks openly about politics. His jokes were always shocking and still are, but I think they're even more brutal now content wise. He's obviously not PC. I guess you could call some of his stances "woke", but if you just disagree and that's why you can't laugh at his jokes that are still just as hilarious and brutal, I think you're the snowflake :P
I think the major problem is the obvious hypocrisy when criticising other comedians.
Seems fair. I think he's an insufferable hypocrite these days but I still think he's funny. Good thing comedians aren't supposed to be role models or thought leaders lol.
@@yomo1690 because other comedians and one in particular had most jokes written by frankie.
@@ETRTriad sorry dude I don't get you
@@ETRTriad Like who? Not being funny but I'm curious which comedians Boyle has wrote for. I can think of no one offhand, obviously his stuff is his own (Tramadol Nights etc) and I know Mock the Week was a concerted effort by the whole team... but what stand-up would perform someone else's material? Especially in this day and age, where a comic onstage always shares parts of themselves... Good and bad, to an audience, rants about their personal woes, hatreds, annoyances.. a totally unique personality is at the helm, the audience has to be made to react to them and won over.... Yesteryears 'This man walked into a bar' shit a la Tarby now there's material that could be written by anyone and uttered to a captive audience... it has none of the clout of the former.
This is the show that brought him to the public domain, he had absolutely no filter
This is only one round of the show. A lot of the time they are sitting down giving satricial or silly answers to the week's news, thus "mocking the week". There is also a stand-up challenge round, where a comedian from each side is given time to tell their best jokes on a topic.
I remember the British 'Whose Line is it Anyway'. Loved it growing up.
A&E is the British version of an ER
B&Q is the name of a chain of hardware stores
The Jeremy Kyle show is basically like the Jerry springer show, Pointing and laughing at the worst examples of humanity. My best friend got both my wife and daughter pregnant… that sort of thing.
Better than you getting your wife and daughter pregnant, oh wait🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
the reason British humour is so funny were all packed in like sardines and we all share the same piss taking of each other
Raining Cats & Dogs 😂 (for non-Brits it's a saying meaning raining heavily and Battersea Cats & Dogs home is a famous sanctuary for them!).
Mock the week has a permanent host (Dara O'Brien) and a number of recurring panellists -Frankie was in the early series. The only panellist to be in all the series is Hugh Dennis (suited gent, middle of right hand side). The main part of the show is about UK political news and major events. The scenes we'd like to see is the light relief segment. It's 3 mins per topic and is given 2 themes. There is also the random topic wheel where X comedians have to do a short routine based on a random theme. E.g. Transport.
One of the early regulars was Rory Bremner I think, who's better known as an impressionist, and John Oliver, who now has a huge show in the States.
Taggart is a detective show from Scotland, one of the best whodunnits ever made.
the cash in the attic joke was not about Anne Frank, in case you were worrying. It was about a relatively recent case of a guy who kept a family captive.
"when in a multiple choice exam, always choose C"
Congratulations, you've failed an exam where the choices were True or False.
hugh dennis is a legend wait until you hear his voiceover from mock the week on prince phillip haha the section of the show is called `newsreel` AMAZING!!!
He was also in the latest James Bond movie as the 'soup scientist'. He kept it all a secret from everyone so there was a huge chunk of the next show after the movie's release all about his role in the film.
@@KathleenMc73 i would not have known about that as i dont watch any bonds but thanks for that =) he was also in a brilliant comedy called outnumbered years ago the kids were funny also in that
Jeremy Kyle is our version of your Jerry Springer. Same type of show.
You two so get British humour, a pleasure to see. Had me rolling! 🤣🤣🤣
'20:26', wait this is an American comedian',
Stewart Francis, Canadian comedian born in 1959 in Toronto, Canada.
🤣🤣
Just so you know, A&E stands for Accident and Emergency. It means “hospital.” B&Q, on the other hand, is a home and hardware store. The abbreviations sound coincidentally similar in their structure, which is why the joke works!;
“Unfortunately we’ve run out of room in A&E, we’re going to have to send you to B&Q.”
Had a long and rough day, this made it better, thankyou both
Over in the UK we got many programs you'd be surprised, hill street blues, taxi, we even got, wishing on a star. Alf, lost in space lillte house on... the Walton, texas ranger, Canadian mounty, jag. Miami vice, kojac, macgyver. My personal fav moonlighting.
Glad you picked this... Its very good
B&Q is a DIY store in the UK
Yes, COVID means there can be a long wait for a doctors appointment
Mock the Week is brilliant
There were massive long waits before covid, it has got a lot worse and will continue even worse for a long time to come!
For info B&Q is what you’d probably call a hardware store, you want to buy tools, bits of wood, doors, paint. Wallpaper, garden stuff, etc…
06:47 Honestly not the most distressing thing I've heared recently since the EOD squads had to be called to Gloucester hospital (UK) after doctors removed WW2 era ordinance from a guy's rear end.
When British people say a doctor they normally mean a GP or family medical practitioners in the US. Yes you can wait a while for an appointment, but if it's an emergency it's normally possible to see one that day. I had to see a doctor the other day, phoned up and booked an appointment for that very day, but simple things you can wait a while. It all comes down to priorities, like do you have a just cough compared to, are you coughing up blood.
The other thing you have to realise is that in the UK we go to the doctor if we do not feel right, preventive care. Preventive care is when someone integrates healthy behaviors into their lifestyle, they are practicing preventive care. This type of care takes place before any signs or symptoms of a condition or disease have been detected. So Doctor can get booked up a lot.
Whereas in the States it's more likely you only go when you really need to, so reactive care, but by that time it could already be to late.
In the UK we don't go to a hospital unless it's really bad, then you go to A&E (accident and emergency), where you will be seen in an hour or two, again down to priorities, as you maybe que jumped by someone that's been in a car crash.
Frankies own complications on this show is quality , people who say hes woke cant be watching his latest show he's still brutal
He is woke, he's always been woke. Woke and brutal!
It is possible to be woke and brutal. I agree with Jonny, he was always woke, he wrote pieces for The Guardian in 2015 I think. The thing is he never used to bring his wokeness into his comedy, that's what changed.
whose line UK and the original US USversion were produced by the same guy who went on to produce mock the week, I think his name was Dan Patterson
Tbh watching you guys enjoying this is actually funnier than watching the comics. you really cheer me up, thanks.
The irish comedian you were asking about is Ed Byrne his stand up is amazing.
Whose Line Is It Anyway was indeed a UK invention. But ironically, it was still Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles that made the UK show a hit, same as for the US version (both were directed by a Brit, Dan Patterson).
I think it’s so funny how shocked American’s are at British Comedy. Your shows are funny too but we can definitely get away with more here 😂
A & E is the Accident and Emergency department of hospitals, B & Q is a D. I. Y supermarket. Jeremy Kyle was the U.K.'s Jerry Springer. He's off the air now after a guest/victim committed suicide. That 'mole up the arse' gag was just topped by some bloke who shoved a WW2 shell up his and there was a bomb disposal team as well as a Doctor involved! There are Vacuum Cleaners over here called Henry Hoovers that have a smiley face on them for the lonely and insecure. There is also a female version as someone must have complained this was sexist...
Frankie Boyle still has the best joke for the exam questions one "Spell mississippi without looking at how we spelt mississippi"
Mock the week has changes of comedians per week with different subjects so it would be worth it to see other episodes which Frankie Boyle would be Probably be in.
Ps The guy Spencer said he liked is Ed Byrne
Chris Addison and Ed Byrne are just so talented, Very bright, fast witted.
After god knows how many years, mock the week has finally wound up. The number of start up comedians went through this program. For Frankie, you need the earlier shows.
In our multiple choice questions, you got 2 points for a right answer, -1 for a wrong answer, 0 for no answer (of course).
That is Stewart Francis
The best comedy never holds back and British are best at it
The compilation got to the end and then there was a brief clip of Monty Python The Spanish Inquidition. I didn;t expect that.
Love watching you guys react to these videos!, you have such a good nature and it really fits this style, keep it up lads!! 👍👍
It's a panel show and that section is a regular feature but for the most part it's on the same line as "Have I Got News For You?"
Jeremy Kyle=Jerry Springer. He had a US show at 1 point
Also relevant is that his UK TV show was canceled after one of his guests committed suicide at least partly due to the complete lack of support from the show. Side note: Many moons ago I used to work at a hotel in Salford that had the contract to put up the Jeremy Kyle Show's out out town guests. I remember such classic examples as the guy who ordered toast one morning then blurted "Oh, no! I can't eat anything! I'm having a DNA test later!"
Ok guys. This is a panel show and what you are watching is only a part of the show. It has different comedians on every week but there are comedians who are on everyweek like hugh dennis and frankie boyle for some seasons. These clips are from a season that Frankie Boyle wasn't on. You really need to see a whole show to get the concept of it as the other parts are just as funny or more where frankie boyle is concerned.
Ye Frankie Biyle was always hilarious and likes to push boundaries.
Also I think you should check out Mrs Brown's Boys. It's so so funny. They even leave in out takes.
Yes that is Stuart Francis ( Canadian ) . . also Canadian is the lady towards the end of the video Katherine Ryan. . the part about A and E ( accident and emergency ) being full up and being sent to B and Q . . B and Q is a DIY/ hardware store
Mock The Week was created by the same people who created Who's Line.
That comedian with the longer hair that you asked who he was. He is Ed Byrne.
‘Mock the Week’ is a comedy panel show featuring different comedians or celebrities each episode. Frankie Boyle was a regular for many seasons - and that was earlier on in his career
At its peak it was a very good, funny and popular series
Yes - that’s Stewart Francis and Katharine Ryan
No - They’re Canadian 🇨🇦
Whereas Whose Line is pretty much all about the stage performance, most of Mock the Week is in a news quiz format similar to Have I Got News For You but with even less concern for the correct answers, as long as they can pile on the jokes.
We nicked the judge Judy idea,and got our own UK one called Judge Rinder
Or judge Romesh
Judge Romesh is a British comedy television show broadcast on Dave. It features Romesh Ranganathan settling disputes in a fictional civil court. The show is unscripted, and the claimant and defendant are generally members of the public, although some cases are between celebrities.
Please do more!!!
A and E is Accident and Emergency, your ER. B&Q (Block & Quale) is a DIY store
There is a vacuum cleaner called 'Henry'
"Test match special" is Ed Byrne
This is one segment of this show
Battersea (London) is where there's a famous dog shelter/home by the way (16:00)
Still revisiting your back catalogue fellas😂😂❤️👍🏽
Fun fact: Teletubbies was filmed just south of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire. This is the birthplace of William Shakespeare and the long-term home of Gordon Ramsay. A little place called Sweet Knowle in Wimpstone.
The wait to see a doctor is based on emergency - if its a minor injury or concern, you can safely wait 1-2 weeks should the condition not get worse. If its a moderate concern, you can say its a bigger deal and you can get a quicker appointment than that. If its a potential medical emergency or a concern that can permanently cause you long term damage or disability without intervention to reverse it, you go straight to A&E.
Depending on urgency of it at hospital, it could be immediate care (heart attack, stabbing, car crash, stroke), care in a couple hours (mental health crisis, minor crash or accident injury) or many hours for emergencies below those. The idea is you're safer at the hospital if things need more urgent response, even if waiting is unpleasant, because you're literally waiting for beds to become available. Waiting time is based on urgency and availability. If 100 people got transported to one hospital after a major traffic accident, your sprained wrist will need to wait until doctors can see you. It seems like a big deal, but this is all free and triaged treatment. If you're feeling extremely distressed due to mental health crisis, you can call an ambulance and they will bring you to hospital for free so you're safer and can receive psychiatric care - not immediate sectioning or the police. Chronic pain conditions can be supplementary treated with gas and air (oxygen diluted nitrous oxide) until more intense pain relief can be provided and safely supervised by an available doctor (such as opiates).
Its not a perfect system, and without proper governmental funding it'll only decline. But it keeps every person in need of care, getting care.
If you want your concerns seen quicker no matter the triage, you can pay out of pocket for private healthcare.
perfectly said, FREE healthcare is there for all, but those who WANT paid healthcare can get it - whereas in the US you pay for everything - also as a side note our british paid healthcare is still like 1/3 of the price of the American healthcare so the Yanks are still getting fucked over by their country
The guy with the long hair is Ed Byrne, Stewart Francis did appear alot on Mock The Week. Frankie was in the earlier seasons.
The guy you said you liked, and asked "Who is he?", that's Ed Byrne, he's also a long-time friend of the host Dara O'Brien
Good job lads!!! Enjoyed that 👍 🤣
