My favourite John Bercow quote ever is "They are entitled to their opinion but suffer from the notable disadvantage of being completely wrong"
I shall undoubtedly use that sometime in the near future
"well I'm sure he's got a great many merits, but thus far they've been fairly effectively concealed from public view"
I might have to paraphrase, but this would be the one to use
Is it a disadvantage? Ignorance is bliss, after all
That was on GQ right
Bercow is a turncoat. He knows where his allegiances are held and he uses the political system for his own ugly ends. He's a buck-toothed scavenger who carries a plague
"I'm sure he has got a very great many merits but thus far they've been very effectively concealed from public view"
man I wish I could insult people like John Bercow
Hang around with people from Diplomat circles for a while and you'll pick it up.
He managed to insult over 17 million on a daily basis by helping to delay and disrupt their istructions to Parliament
@@Willywin it's not his fault parliament made a dog's breakfast out of Brexit. His job was to ensure everyone followed the rules and procedures of the House of Commons - that's why he was the Speaker, not the PM or a cabinet member.
"Well, I'm sure he's got a very great many merits, but thus far they've been fairly effectively concealed from public view"
Almost 😏
@@Willywin he also gave the leave MPs plenty of time in the commons before the vote and allowed them to voice their opinions and didn't shun them
The way he commands the English language is deeply mesmerizing I desire to have one day.
He is a career politician speaking through a forked tongue, jeez one person talks eloquintly and you Muppets fall for it hook line and sinker, no wonder the Tories are in power lol.
@@choughed3072 i just like the way he speaks. No need for further opinions.
@@choughed3072 If he was a career politician, he wouldn't have become the Speaker. For someone like that, you can turn to Jacob Rees-Mogg. He and Bercow have a long history of verbal sparring in the chamber, but Rees-Mogg quite clearly has an agenda.
Ye he rly eloquent init.
@@owenpalmer5281 I think that was, perhaps, the point.
I imagine when he walks into McDonald's the cashier says "May I take your orrrrdeerrrrr?"
I just imagined that and laught a bit too hard
Djordje Simonovic same
They would not see him above the counter
Hes far too posh for such a comman working class place such a Mc Ds.
The English can't pronounce R's especially at the end of words - it would be 'oodaaa!' If the server were Scottish then the R's would be pronounced!
This man is more ruthless in his politeness than most are when they’re trying their hardest to offend
"I realised halfway through that, just how out of my depth I am!"
Say what you want about him, Bercow is extremely clever!
"doing it on an irregular basis." I think everyone missed his joke there.
I know right! My favourite part actually
@PrinceDinar pooing on an irregular basis
@PrinceDinar The doctor told him that not going to the toilet for so long (holding your pee in) should not be done on a regular basis (every day, every second day, twice a week...), and he replied he must be safe because he does it on an irregular basis. (once)
@PrinceDinar The regularity of something, although often used that way, doesn't have anything to with the amount of times somebody is doing something.
The doc told him to not do it regularly. What he obviously meant was: don't do it to often.
Bercows answer (irregularly) was basically saying: I don't do it on a schedule.
Between the lines the answer obviously meant: " I don't care what you tell me. I'll do it when I fell like doing it.
Saw it instantly
BOOOOOOOONNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Shout out to the Nine-Nine massive).
Yesss yessssss..a thousand times yes!!!!!!!
How. Dare. You detective Diaz I am your *sUpEriOr OfFicEr*
One of the best scenes 😂😂
What happens in my lower chamber, Mr. Speaker, is none of your business.
@@ifandafydd7432 BOOOOOONNNNEEEEE?????!!!!!
Literally the only Tory I like. Always came across as a good man trying to do a thankless job in the fairest way he could. I think history will be kind to him.
Happily no longer a tory
@@kida4313 he switched parties?
@@turningmememachine7256 Well, he was a Tory before he became Speaker, but since they have to be neutral he was technically of neither bias during his period of service. He's since no longer a member of the party, though, and seems to have indicated that isn't his leaning anymore - definitely seems to have a New Labour twinge.
Here's an article about it.
www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/09/john-bercows-long-journey-from-hard-right-to-labour-darling
@@kaizokuAUTO thanks for the info
really says something when the Tory speaker respects the Labour leader more than the Tory one. Corbyn and him shared a strong mutual respect, you can't say the same for Boris. Honestly, that was probably one of the reasons Tories wanted him out so bad, he didn't belittle and conform to their will, but actually revered the house and democracy, and did everything he could to maintain, so obviously he respected the one who never attempted to fiddle it, and not the one who tries to fiddle it non-stop.
John Bercow should have his own chat show. He's too much of a character and personality to let go of. Maybe as political presenter under satire or similar to Andrew Marr? C'mon tv producers😀😀😀
No thanks
He'd be a good QI presenter to follow in the line of Stephen Fry and Sandi Toksvig.
He needs to present a few "Have I Got News for You?"
A permanent presenter of HIGNFY?
For anyone wondering what oleaginous means.. 1) Someone rich in, covered with, or producing oil. 2) exaggeratedly and distastefully complimentary. I wonder which one he was referring to😂
Thanks :)
Yes
Look that up did you
Ryan Batchelor no some of us know what long words mean because we use them in day to day life.
@@lukecolebourne5907 ur my hero
John Bercow is the kind of person if you met in a pub you'd have many hours of conversation about everything from politics to life.. that man has seen so much
And bullied so many...
@@user-vh6ts9uf6c who cares
@@user-vh6ts9uf6cI've yet to see him bully a single person
@@inigoiraetau1903 Did you work in parliament? Were you one of his staff? What a weird comment
The way John Bercow speaks English is mesmerizing. I had never thought listening to someone eloquently speak would be worth listening to on a regular basis. After he left the House of Commons, it just isn’t the same
I think being speaker of the house made Bercow despise the Tories. He always talks about them with a little disdain and seems to really like the Labour people. Bearing in mind that he was a Conservative.
Brown, for all his faults as PM, is a very intelligent man, very well read etc. Basically, compared with the rest of them mentioned, he is a grown up.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 I think the best thing he learnt was to turn off the microphone as soon as he is out of the public eye. That incident is the only memory I have of his term.
Kian Docherty Well, the people of his own party once attempted to oust him from the post in the most cowardly way possible so obviously he doesn’t have much love for them, especially Tory leadership.
I think he went off some Tories (such as Boris and some of the front bench). But he did the job for many years and had respect for most of them. He couldn't have done the job otherwise.
No shit Sherlock. Hahahahaha
"i'm sure he's (david cameron) got a very great many merits but thus far they've been very effectively concealed from public view" -John Bercow
we really need to look back and investigate why John bercow is such a Great legend ?!? maybe because he's an Arsenal fan ? :)
I've never been more delighted by a genteel answer before in my life. I mean, if he'd cut loose like Frankie Boyle, that would have been fantastic but that was so much more satisfying!
That is some of the most quintessentially British 'smack-talk' I have ever heard.
That has to be the most eloquent "because he's an arsehole" that I've ever heard.
You got half of it right he`s an Arse !
@Viscount Lordington That some prime unfounded bigotry you coughed up there.
I almost drowned drinking a cuppa listening to the David Cameron answer
When this man is on the job he's a beast
No, just a first class twat
@@JimWalsh-rl5dj that too at times lol
Who's married to a massive whore
Wow people here are so mad at this guy, his linguistic skills are amazing and seems pretty smart
@@wizzenberry yup, and there's nothing people hate more than a smart person that disagrees with them
"Well I'm sure he's got a very great many merits but thus far they've been fairly effectively concealed from public view". That was actually a very diplomatic response. Well done sir.
how was that even slightly diplomatic lol it's exactly the fucking opposite
Hell, Matt Leblanc's looking rough.
Sounds helluva lot better though
Oh shit
John Bercow ringing up Argos:
"Hello, I have an orrrrddderrrrrr, I need to collect, whens the best time?"
I would say that going every 14 hours is doing it irregularly.
He did not you arsehole. 8 hours max three days a week
Doing something every 14 hours would be doing it regularly.
@@weswheel4834 not if it's something you normally do every few hours.
Damn i go once in an hour.
That was bercows joke.
Word of the day (on Michael Gove): oleaginous
exaggeratedly and distastefully complimentary; obsequious.
"candidates made oleaginous speeches praising government policies"
My first question if I ever met Bercow:
"can you shout 'order' please?"
I would urinate on his head for demeaning democracy, are you British?
@@JimWalsh-rl5dj Are you British? Is that what you think being British means? (Or is this just a kink you have? That's fine but I'm not sure that Bercow would be into it).
@@weswheel4834 Laddie, it is a valid question, none British people have any right to comment or are you just stupid. Tell you what, if you support unchecked immigration, open your front door and tell immigrants that they are all welcome to live in your house. Also have you ever served your country?
@@JimWalsh-rl5dj I saw on one of your other posts that you'd claimed to have served your country. (I say claimed because this is youtube and you could be anyone). But assuming that's true, thanks for your service I guess. But presumably it was a job. Still, thanks anyway. Back on topic, did you think this way before you served or is this something that you learnt on the job? Who mentioned immigration? You brought nationality into it at the same time as offering to urinate on someone that you didn't like. Does that make you proud to be British? btw, "if you like immigration then tell all the immigrants that they're welcome to live in your house" makes no sense. Replace "immigrants" with "the Welsh" or "women" and it wouldn't make any less sense.
How original of you.
Josh, Alex, Sara and John Bercow on one couch together is a fantastic sample of humanity.
The Right Honourable Member for The Last Leg, Mr Mike The Cameraman!
Best wishes from the Netherlands. Jealous of such an outstanding (former) Mr Speaker!
Damn, he became so much more good looking after leaving parliament.
Hes a zaddy
Thank you Bercow, for everything. We are forever grateful.
what a champ, never heard of this fella and have just watched him in action on 3 different vids
He’s a national treasure in my eyes. Great bloke.
5 months ago when a joke about self isolate was nothing more than a joke.
"Well I'm sure hes got a great many merrits but thus far they've been fairly effectively concealed from public view"
*FUCKING OUCH!*
Ordaaa...order , ordaaaaaaaaaa
This word from him made me wanna watch a lot of videos of British parliament .
I personally always feel compelled to return to watch this Bercow gem.

Bercow is one of the very, very few Tories that the vast majority of non Tories respect. It just so happens that a lot of Tory voters hate him.
I mean he announced the other day that he considers himself as centre left now and voted for Sadiq Khan. Good on him.
He's not a Tory anymore; he crossed the floor and joined Labour.
next we’re gonna see this guy on Strictly...
seerpou it’s awfully sad
@@henridobbs2423 But Bercow has just about reached the right level ....just slightly above bottom feeder.
Dont be stupid, he is only 5 foot two!
6:06 - Bercow goes a bit General Melchett!!
John Bercow: *oleaginous*
Two ladies in the audience: 2:26
“Hors d´oeuvre, hors d´oeuvre !”
He legit sounds like a walking gov.uk
If I had to aspire to a public speaker, Bercow would be the man.
Where is his crazy hair? I love this guy.
John Bercow is the Most honorable Englishman for me
Anyone else feeling weirdly attracted to Bercow? He looks like he was a sexy popstar 30 years ago but he aged gracefully
I always thought his wife was a bit of alright.
Bercow's wife did some very seductive poses for an ES ( Evening Standard magazine) article. So that would make him part of a sexy couple.
@Whitesepulchre 👌 I prefer the term pillow biter
Whitesepulchre You’re a very perceptive one you.
Yeah he looks like he's done what matt l'blanc did
The way Josh pronounced Dwyfor-Meirionnydd had me cringing.
Meirionnydd ista Dwy for?
dolceanstar what?
Ynyr Glyn I cringed too, being from wales
@@adamdrummer1991
I cringe at the Welsh pronouncing a lot of words, and what?
@@ec-pc3122 There is an accent (which you may not like but isn't necessarily wrong) and then there is butchering the phonetics and getting the pronunciation of something written in Welsh completely wrong.
They are apples and oranges.
You don't like apples.
But the orange is actually a tangerine.
I wish John Berrow had *his own* talk show!
Tom Parry’s impression of Bercow is my favourite
I love the way he rolls his R's 😂
He's a British treasure
The most English man that ever englished
Bercow goes beast mode! 😎
6:05 josh’s bad welsh pronunciation of dwyfor Meirionydd Cracks me up
Miss u John
Ohhhhhh burrrrrnn on Cameron. Damn man. This guy is so cool.
He's going to remain in character forever
Here's an exemplary embodiment of how wonderfully a person can express themselves when equipped with knowledge and vocabulary.....Josh can't even pronounce his name.
It makes absolute sense Bercow would do this show. They are great lads.
When you realise that politicians can outwit any comedian trying to have political opinions.
Except that that doesn't always happen. Also, "trying to have political opinions"? What an idiot you are! You think politicians are experts? You think that comedians aren't some of the smartest and most knowledgable people on the planet? Keep "trying", you might get a decent opinion one day!
@@sierraromeoromeo2444 don’t cry about it lol 😂
@@884dan yet here you are whining about it 🤣🤣🤣
Lol he lectures in my uni now
He looks so relaxed here.
John Bercow seems like a nice chap to sit down and have a nice chat with.
Brilliant man.. It's allways a pleasure listening to him.

"Well, I'm sure he's got a very great many merits, but thus far they've been fairly effectively concealed from public view".
Most polite put-down of a PM I have ever heard.
1:15 this is actually a fantastic put down
I'm so angry he didn't ignore Alex's question
Bercow was in the wrong party, he's center left to his core.
The Conservative Party is relatively centre-left especially compared to Corbyn's Labour
@Lucalite Except it isn't, heck just this week you saw a huge Keynesian budget released much alike that of Gordon Brown.
In Canada, we call people like him Red Tories.
Evidence?
Ash hahaha what the fuck are you talking about??? Corbyn is a socialist
He is awesome
3:20 I like his way of saying that.
Since he left the parliament I nearly didn't watch it!
It's not a bloody TV show
@@pierrethetrex6106 I know but it felt like one with him so I was watching motions that I wasn't even interesting about 🤣🤣🤣
Now I only watch what I care about.
John Bercow is a fantastic parliamentarian and true democrat.If you read this John,warmest thanks.
Bercow is fantastic man!!!! We named our water heater after him ‘order ordererrrr’ miss him
1:21 How do you say "shots fired" in one word?
"OOOOOOOoooooohhhhh"
He is one of the coolest politicians we had, i don't like tories but he is very charming
So good, I clapped in real life when he was awarded!
John Bercow gives a high five like a true John Bercow would.
He’s such a lovely fellow
ordddddddddeeeeerrrr
Why the hell isn’t this man on television more often. Perhaps the ‘Establishment’ doesn’t like being exposed and shown up.
Self-isolate for 2 weeks is that all it’s almost as if they knew what was coming 😂
The clip was uploaded in March, the same month the lockdown began, so it was already firmly on the cards or at least being discussed at that point.
before lockdown, it looks so civil
What a good sport. !!
Bercow is funnier than all these ‘comedians’. At 1:15 he nearly made me piss myself
That right there is good proper British humour
oh shut up, they're great, it's literally their show
Oleaginous? Love it! Gove is certainly oily...
John Bernie is on my fantasy dinner party guest list. Up there with David and Victoria Mitchell
Well done JB ..
Good sport. I don’t know why MPs don’t come on shows like this when in power - it humanises them.
They are not in power, they are in elected office. If you cannot get that through your puny innbred mind, then keep your foolish opinions to yourself

@Bilal Khalid First of all I am not a "bro" which is a childish and puerile bastardisation of English and typical of ethinic people who are not well educated and dont know their fathers. Bro, do fuck off

You have problems.
The Last Leg is biased towards the left leaning politicians.
They will get an easy ride.

I make him right. At least Gordon Brown can probably make a decent cup of tea.
robert mugabe no one lost their savings or home in a global recession that left millions of Americans at risk of homelessness in a mortgage crisis and saw Iceland become bankrupt. He took millions of children out of food poverty and improved standards of living across the board. Admittedly the gold wasn’t ideal and I’m not a fan of certain policies and he was no public speaker but he’s not an idiot and he isn’t a mass murdering dictator like your name sake. Plus I think he could make a decent cup of tea. So yeah.
I’m with you Morgan Kemp......there are an awful lot of very rude people who have have shown their ignorance in the comments they have made, you were great John and I miss the interesting way in which you conducted yourself when you were Speaker.
agree completely
If you watch BBC Parliament you can sometimes see Mrs May on one of the back benches.
@Bilal Khalid She commented on the Budget the other day. She's obviously a good hard working MP, even if you don't agree with her political views.
i miss bercrow already :(
I miss him 😭
You have to ask this guy back to comment on the return of David Cameron.
I'm an American and I miss Bercow as Speaker of the House of Commons! Especially his witty remarks. XD
thank you for having John Bercow on; I really miss watching him in the speaker's chair. We need more Orrrdddeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in the House of Commons. I try to imagine him trying to deal with Trump!
Someone who used their powers for good and not evil
Someone who couldn't stay neutral, you know....his job.
