Exactly right! The idea is that the Pub Landlord character is a know-it-all that loves to 'educate' but has it all wrong, or at least very extreme views and skewed ideas. So yes, spot on, he's to be laughed at, and yet there is some form of truth in there too. A very clever balance. The swearing is not just to fit the character, but grounds him, maybe as a reminder that he's a Pub Landlord chatting away whilst serving you your drink, rather than a lecturer or educator to believe. Anyway great stuff, Merci beaucoup!
After having seen too many Americans react to this, it was such a delight to see someone really appreciate the French references :) That was me when he explained the Financial Crisis (great video that's a bit longer btw) and was suddenly speaking German and then I couldn't breathe 😂
I think he's talking about the French asking a lot of questions is from when we learn French in schools, it's all about those types of questions and half your lessons are made up about asking for where the station is or where to buy a sandwich, etc. All the basic touristy sorts of questions :D :D
My admiration for this couple has just gone up 100 percent. I had always wondered their country of origin, and to only to now learn that they are Lebanese was a great surprise to me. Obviously they Speak French fluently, but their mastery of English is so impressive. You have to understand foreign conversation so well to understand humour in that language. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart for taking the trouble to speak English so well........Who said that "Brains and Beauty are an impossibility?" This couple prove that statement to be far from reality.
Voulez vous couches Avec moi was a song by Bill Wyman waaay back. I think the whole french asking questions is inspired by French classes in English schools. And yes he's definitely turning the humour back on British stereotypes.
Aye Martin, my parents were going to charge you for my medical fees, as I injured myself when I fell out of my pushchair laughing at this.......That was seventy years ago. but as the saying goes, "There are no new jokes, just new audiences"
You 2 are amazing . Carol, I don't think I've seen a more pretty face and smile ever . I love watching you guys. Love and best wishes from here in the UK.
Almost everyone in Europe speaks French to some degree...enough to understand this clip anyway. I love the reactions...you don't see many French comedians which is odd...they do have a goofy sense of humour which might not work well in stand up? I dunno. Brits love to laugh at the French and the French love to laugh at Brits, it's all good fun :D We love each other really xx
Nous apprenons le Francais au college au Royaume uni mais il n'y a pas beaucoup de gens qui peuvent le parler courrament. Je continuais de l'apprendre tout le long de ma vie donc je suis bilangue mais j'adore les langues étrangeres. Awesome video, guys! I love Al Murray ❤
French is (I don't know if it still is, I think there are more options now) compulsory for at least 2 to 5 years in English schools but we are taught all those questions and it seems not much else really! So he knew the audience would at least remember that much from school. It was recorded many years ago so the audience was probably almost exclusively British with a few French or German visitors.
Your country is so so beautiful. I drove on the main 51 motorway which had so many pot holes and no rules or lighting So fast yet still I was overtaken my completely crazy drivers on all sides. Swimming in the sea near Jounieh I had a problem with the undertow but managed to get back to shore…that was back in 1998 I imagine it is very different now. Love your reaction to Al Murray, (Al Marray)
Hey guys. I look forward to your comedy reactions especially Al Murray, as much as the music ones. There is a great concert of his from the O2 Arena London. It’s about 2 hours long and it makes your ribs beg for mercy. Most reviewers do it in segments as there are definite cut offs in themes. Please try it for yours and our benefit. Stay safe and keep doing what you can. Take it easy.
When we first went to France we ate some very cheap steaks, and we later realised it was probably horse meat but it tasted o.k, like normal steak in fact..
No no, the native language of England was whatever version of english was doing the rounds at the time. The language of the monarchy and the equivalent of the aristocracy was a provincial French. The reason the English language prevailed is because the common people carried on speaking it.
A smart person would still shout for help because even most French speakers would understand, whereas no one else would. The not-so-subtle point is that much to the French people's eternal dismay and shame English is the International language and will always be so. This is a double-edged sword for the English because we have little incentive to learn anything other than English. This means that others can understand what we are saying but we can not understand what others are saying about us. The French hate to admit that they can even speak English especially when they are in France and see British people who can't speak French as ignorant, uneducated, rude, or all 3. The English rightly see the French as being incredibly rude, condescending, elitist, arrogant, nationalistic, officious, aggressive, and paranoid. This is because we know that most of them can speak English at least well enough for a short conversation or to give simple directions but stubbornly refuse to do so. There are always exceptions, but this is especially true on the rare occasions the British visit France while not attempting to use their outrageous French accent accompanying the tiny degree of French they bothered to remember from their distant school days. The British on the other hand are experts at understanding very badly broken and spoken English in just about any accent we are presented with including the most outrageous French accent imaginable. This is because we get more practice at doing this than others. When we go anywhere in the world there is no point in us bothering to learn the local language as everyone we meet will soon enough insist that we speak English to help them improve their own. This is because unlike the French they are not stupid. They know what the French will never admit to themselves even if they end up drowning. English is the International language. I have no idea what the local inhabitants think of me and I don't care to know either as long as they seem friendly. As most wish to improve their English they seem keen to engage in conversation for as long as possible. The French often find this not to be the case and this only increases their sense of paranoia. Or put more succinctly the French finally lost it around 1815 and will never find it again.
Hi i see guitars etc behind you, do you react to music ? if so have you heard of Nightwish? if not i recommend the song to hear first , "Ghost Love Score" Live at Waken
Not really true. Latin and the ancestral language of English, German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages were related though. I believe piscine actually comes from 'piscis' meaning fish in Latin ('piscis' and 'fish' are related, incidentally) and -'ina' meaning '-y', so literally 'fishy' or, as the etymology dictionaries call it "characterised by fish". Over time, the 'a'-vowel at the end of piscina', like in a lot of French words, was neutralised to an 'e' (compare Spanish 'Piscina', for example) So, obviously the Romans originally probably used the word for artificial ponds but then later extended the meaning to include what we call a pool today.
your mic is good , but it also picks up all the knocks and bumps against the table , which gives a serious bass Pop in my headphones and when i use my speakers/subwoofer , it's quit irritating there's probably a microphone setting you can turn on to avoid big noises like that coming through probably called ''noise reduction'' , have a look at that , if you will nice videos and you two make me smile , which i don't do on my own , only with other people who i make smile first
Al Murray is obviously very clever but it is an act. He does not really sound like that. He is acting like a typical British pub landlord from, say 50 years ago. They were usually quite opinionated! Murray's pub landlord character just takes that to the next level.
🙋🏼♂️ 🇬🇧 😃 Bonsoir ! .. super réaction 👍🏻 j'espère que vous allez bien tous les deux 🙏🏻 ( hope my high school French is still ok .. it has been a looong time 🫣 😅 ) 🙏🏻 stay safe , stay healthy ✌🏻
He's a parody, most of the British aren't nationalistic or know it alls. But they recognise it in others. There are a few pub landlords I've met that are similar.
Exactly right!

What a beautiful funny couple, Much love from England🙂👍
He speaks French and German and gave a stand up show in french in France I think he also speaks some italian

for a while in the 80's and 90's this is somewhat how the English perceived the French humour:

Plot Twist,
Al is not short for Alan, or Alfie, or Alfred
It is the Arabic Al
And Al-Murrary is actually THE Murray
hahaha!
Love from London, England!
I'm from Canada so this is freaking hilarious to me as an English speaking Canadian we are taught French til grade 10. 😂😂
And we had the news program W5 - who, what, why, where & when.
And never forget Al Murray is a very well educated historian an ex lecturer...
You must watch Al with Global fianance. Very funny.
I love this reaction. I’m actually laughing with you 😆
i dont know french but got a good laugh from you guys who do,lol
French is (I don't know if it still is, I think there are more options now) compulsory for at least 2 to 5 years in English schools but we are taught all those questions and it seems not much else really! So he knew the audience would at least remember that much from school. It was recorded many years ago so the audience was probably almost exclusively British with a few French or German visitors.
Al Murray has a sitcom as the Pub Landlord from the 2000’s called Time Gentlemen Please.
Your country is so so beautiful. I drove on the main 51 motorway which had so many pot holes and no rules or lighting So fast yet still I was overtaken my completely crazy drivers on all sides. Swimming in the sea near Jounieh I had a problem with the undertow but managed to get back to shore…that was back in 1998 I imagine it is very different now. Love your reaction to Al Murray, (Al Marray)
I've had horse burger. Very nice. That before I became a vegetarian. Very good positive show. 👍
I thought it was longer that's the French all over ❤😂
I understand he speaks German too.
Old British comedians worth checking out are, The Two Ronnies, see their Crossword and Crossed lines sketches.

I love you two! If you visit England you must come to Cambridge, I will show you around! 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Have great day both of U😊
Thank youuu 😁❤️
Great Chanel guys
Peace from England ❤
Appreciate it ❤️❤️
When we first went to France we ate some very cheap steaks, and we later realised it was probably horse meat but it tasted o.k, like normal steak in fact..
I would love to see you react to Lee Evans
At last, a non USA review ❤ 🇬🇧
Tres bien.........
Tomorrow the French military are guarding Buckingham Palace, for the first time in history, sh1t what could go wrong...
HIS best is. HOW THE GLOBAL FINANCE WORKS, BRILLIANT AND VERY FUNNY😊
Love your reactions.... You should check out Micky Flanagan talking about the French.... It's a short clip, but it's hilarious....
I asked my French teacher to go toilet once in class he said wee wee i said no poo poo 🙃
FANTATASTIC video with constant interruptions completely wrecking by stupidity
Try Al Murray "secretary" you'll love it.
The native language of England in 1066 to 1200 something was actually French, that why a lot of the English language has a lot of French in it
No no, the native language of England was whatever version of english was doing the rounds at the time. The language of the monarchy and the equivalent of the aristocracy was a provincial French. The reason the English language prevailed is because the common people carried on speaking it.
You'll be in luck. He's starting a new English tour this year. So new material will follow.
I wish I spoke English, French, and Arabic.
You need to watch his piece about global finance really works. Hilarious and probably more accurate that you would believe.
If your lady says ' voulez vous couchez avec moi'?' To me I'm saying yes in a New York second !! Your both lovely people.
Al can also speak German .
Unfortunately for the English we are taught French as our second language at School...

He has a degree in history and speaks fluent German. He has another series called @Why does everyone hate the English' very funny
You should react to Lee Evans he's a great UK comedian
You beautiful souls
Hi i see guitars etc behind you, do you react to music ? if so have you heard of Nightwish? if not i recommend the song to hear first , "Ghost Love Score" Live at Waken
Hi guys, you would like the comedian Sean Lock ; look for "Sean Lock On Political Correctness", do some more Al Murray please!
Watching him live is great ...... there's no french
Hope your safe , xx

All west European languages come from Latin so their are similarities. Just a guess but maybe a connection between words for piss and water
Not really true. Latin and the ancestral language of English, German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages were related though. I believe piscine actually comes from 'piscis' meaning fish in Latin ('piscis' and 'fish' are related, incidentally) and -'ina' meaning '-y', so literally 'fishy' or, as the etymology dictionaries call it "characterised by fish".

your mic is good , but it also picks up all the knocks and bumps against the table ,
which gives a serious bass Pop in my headphones and when i use my speakers/subwoofer , it's quit irritating
there's probably a microphone setting you can turn on to avoid big noises like that coming through
probably called ''noise reduction'' , have a look at that , if you will
nice videos and you two make me smile , which i don't do on my own , only with other people who i make smile first
Al Murray is obviously very clever but it is an act. He does not really sound like that. He is acting like a typical British pub landlord from, say 50 years ago. They were usually quite opinionated! Murray's pub landlord character just takes that to the next level.

You are both very cute. It was lovely to hear the young lady speak French because I think it is the sexiest language ever, Japanese is a close second.
🙋🏼♂️ 🇬🇧 😃 Bonsoir ! .. super réaction 👍🏻 j'espère que vous allez bien tous les deux 🙏🏻 ( hope my high school French is still ok .. it has been a looong time 🫣 😅 ) 🙏🏻 stay safe , stay healthy ✌🏻
Merci beaucoup! Je suis contente que vous ayez apprécié la réaction 😁 Ton français est parfait aussi 🙌 Bonne soirée :)
@@TheCoupleCribThank You 🙏🏻 its crazy what you can remember from 20 + years ago if you put your mind to it ! Just happy i didn't mess up ! 😁 😂 ✌🏻
He's a parody, most of the British aren't nationalistic or know it alls. But they recognise it in others. There are a few pub landlords I've met that are similar.
Wonderful video. You make such a lovely couple. You're reaction is lovely. I would love to have a lovely wife like you mate. You seem so happy ❤
