He said "you can't sing", not you can't see. The context being, that when this was filmed it was the height of X Factor, Pop Idol, Britains Got Talent etc etc. Music talent shows were perhaps the most watched shows on tv in the UK.

I saw Al Murray recently. The dude doesn't age. He had great audience participation. I wasn't in the best headspace and I don't think I made the most of it. Still great, though. Very consistent comedian.
There is a Monty python clip all with them saying, you don’t know your alive these days, I used to get up an hour before I went to bed, walked 30 miles to school through a blizzard etc
@@oopsdidItypethatoutloud I used to be amazed at how ignorant young (and now, not so young) people are, but I'm generally more accustomed to it. I still get the occasional surprise, though.

Growing up, dinner was served at the table and you didn't leave the table until you finished it. (You might even get a gentle kick if you tried to get up - leaving me with the habit, to this day, of going to the toilet before I sat down for a meal). So there were boundaries, but there was also love and fun. My dad was very doting on us, to the point where mum got kind of pushed out of the picture. But after he died, my brother assumed poll position (he was eleven years older and therefore took on the mantle of responsibility) and he had a much harder sort of temperament. He's much more traditionally working class (he's at the end of the boomer generation). So I got a very mixed idea of who I was from these influences.
Actually, by time he got to the punchline, it sounded like "see". But I think my brain would've registered it as "sing", with or without seeing the comments first.
The big scary guy is police, he called him plod because that's a slang term for them. Also you've been corrected but not why...kids just want to get famous from these got talent shows rather than get a job.
@@KingBoomer Spam. I just love the way that even those who don't know the origins of the word Spam, use it. You might, but you might not. Monty Python.
The line about the fathers and "Good bunch of blokes, Ill drive the van but im not wearing a costume" Is in relation to the fathers 4 justice movement, was so dads get more rights (esp in cases of like divorces and stuff) What most of britain actually saw, was a bunch of somewhat sad dads all wearing cheap superhero costumes and hanging about on building site scaffolding and cranes.

"British Thinking" is another great Al Murray sketch. You want the older version from like 13 years ago where he's just wearing a white shirt like in this video. In the more recent version (red blazer) he gets a bit lost and stuffs it up.
You look like you're at the beach can you do kind of look like a confederate soldier when you put the clothes on can't have the South without the North people say stupid stuff I think you're Canadian thanks for the content my friend
I love Al, but I do wish he'd have suggested Stone Henge's instead of Pyramids. It's not like we know how even Stone Henge was built. And it IS British! But I do get it, even though both phenomena are incomprehensible, the Pyramids are probably more famous for being that.🤷♀
Yes we do know how its built. Google Stonehenge 1950s restoration. Read English heritage own website on it. Also you will see black and white images of the trucks used to lift some of the stones into place. It wasn't aliens after all. Some American lobbied for stonehenge to be restored which was against the grain of just leaving as it was.
If we bury celebs in pyramids they'll be worshipped forever! Parenting is a difficult thing. I've got two daughters who are now young adults. They did a pretty good job of bringing me up to be fair. Blaming the current youth and harping back to a mythical golden age of your own youth is nothing new. When the novel was popularised a couple of hundred years ago or so, people thought society would collapse because the youngsters were reading too much.
He said sing not see you muppet 😂
Americans 🐸🍵
I don't even think dude understood what Al was saying, he just laughed when the audience laughed
Al Murray is a scholar of history and extremely bright. I love this alter ego. 👌
SING? He said SING!
Didn't he say 'sing' rather than 'see'? 😮
Yes he did
All that buildup and the muppet missed the crucial word of the punchline! ;P
SING!, fkin Sing, not SEE!!! Omg, KB must be from Generation DEAF, too funny!!!
what a plonker
Yes he said sing as in they will not become a celebrity overnight by singing on a televised talent show.
He said “sing”. King boomer….you…..can’t….fucking….listen😂😂
He said sing. Talking about all these X Factor and American Idol shows.
It's always fun with an Al Murray audience to see who doesn't realise he's taking the piss out of them.
Having a low IQ will do that to a person. 😂

I saw him a couple of months ago here in England what a show! Absolutely brutal to the front row, still as brilliant as ever!
HE SAID SING🫣 You really need to watch these with err indoors mate😂😂Al would call you a dozy yank🤣😂😅all good fun mate😉

Gotta love al
5:54 He's a special "plod" i.e a police officer
YOU can’t f***ing hear! 😂
I love Al
I was like huh, heard see, not sing!! What a muppet 😅
I think he said 'You Can't Sing' !

Would love to see him live!
Oh no, is very unwell then?
why would he say "you caNT SEE"? he obviously said "SING"!! wat da! classic, claaassic american behaviour!
Sing!
Try to find something he does in his well spoken British accent. Then you will realise his character "the pub landlord".
How did you hear "SING" as "SEE" ?
I doesn't even make sense !
It does if the kids blind.
The large bald guy in the audience is a police officer, mate.
Nah he's a plod, Murray explained that
Seen any of the Pub Landlords sitcom "Time Gentlemen Please"? Al's got both series/seasons uploaded on YT
Thanks for letting me know
Yes... Sing...
Apparently, you're not allowed to shove them up chimneys anymore. Who knew?
Got tickets to see him in october :) excited!
I have just brought tickets to see Al Murray at my local theatre next April
You really love our Uk stuff don’t you?!
Hell yeah
He’s spot on 😂😂👏👏
The pyramids bit got me too 😂
Now I know what my daughters will be doing this year. How many do we need to build from Durham to London

You would love British landlords😂
How have I missed this one?
I've been pointing out that the secret to life is building pyramids for some time, though.
FYI, plod = police
Good old Al 😂
Imagine how much the government would inflate the cost of a single pyramid 😂
SING
Because X-factor et al.
definitely a civil war general, lol
