Your channel has helped me get through Lockdown. I'm a Brit living and working in Italy, but I love watching your reactions to UK comedies. It's so infectious. Keep up the good work.
Dude, I love your channel and your reactions. It’s quite amazing how you seem to understand, or ‘catch’, EVERYTHING that’s been said. With that super-heavy Northern Irish accent, even I struggled just once or twice
I was born during the "straight is the only way" generation. My way of handling the subject of gayness is to just see people as people. It's so simple and so effective. Some people are straight, some are gay, and these days, some are something I haven't even heard of. Doesn't matter. They're all just people with different aspects to them.
Really? You look young pal. I’m 48 and I was born that generation, it like always stereotyping was what scared people off, if you were gay you was flamboyant, feminine and had a gay lisp. That’s why a lot either went under ground or surpressed their feelings and got married. But weirdly before the 1930’s in film and television a lot of stars were in same sex relations. Then the big film companies thought it was affecting the business and negative propaganda was distributed. Since then it has been a taboo. But even today a lot are still reluctant to come out.
@@softshallow7435 Well, I'm only 45 and I guess it depends how rough your area was. In North Scotland where I was brought up, you couldn't drink a Southern Comfort without risking getting a kicking by some strangers as you left the pub. I was glad it didn't effect me but concluded people were mental.
@@aaronmicalowe well true. I’m Indian sikh, but weirdly I’m sure it didn’t bother my family but I don’t know, it felt like that. But they were more bothered of me being educated comparing me with other people etc.
I've always loved this sketch. It a parody of Belfast over the years. The harsh accent and boldness are spot on lol. I was born 1981 and still live in Belfast after the troubles. Great fun and Craic . Best wishes from Belfast Northern Ireland. Jason.
‘Cannot’ believe you did this this with no subtitles. I’m Scottish so understand to the difficulties (for others) Fair play to you! Also, this is a genius sketch!
I loved these characters. This gay guy is the exact opposite of Dafyd from Little Britain, instead of being so out and proud he becomes a walking stereotype, he‘s having the same stereotypes thrust upon him, so it’s those ‘helping’ him that are the joke. Really clever writing to approach it from that direction and still make it funny.
I think there's more to Daffyd than just the stereotype, watching him was the first time I realised internalised homophobia was a thing and I was kinda blown away
@@storageheater he’s what people used to call a ‘prissy young queen’ I think, usually referring to pretty gay-scene youth behaving like the all knowing representatives of all homosexuality, ever, but really knowing very little about it, yet, to the point of actually being scared of most of the actual practices of it, so in some ways yes, self loathing. I’d guess the most common version now would be the non-binary glitterati of social media?
The character of Dafyd was enormously appealing to straight audiences not that long ago, and simply continued on from the swishy character in "Are You Being Served?" years before. I thought Lucas's performance was grotesque and offered nothing in the way of advancement of perceptions of gay people at that time. Tellingly, the BBC has removed "Little Britain" from its streaming platform, deeming that "times have changed since Little Britain first aired…". We don't want the likes of Dafyd ever again. Robert, UK.
The joke is that the sketch flips the stereotype of a family from Ulster in Northern Ireland who would be expected to hold strict religious and political views that would be intolerant of their son being a 'gay man now'
@@AfterWorkReactions @After Work Reactions Just to build on this from the Doc, the marching tradition from the end of the video is highly intolerant and is often about religious warfare in the 17th century. So the idea of tough minded Northern Ireland Unionists marching in favour of gay rights rather than the usual historical references to religion is an inversion of a stereotype. This is stereotypically the most conservative grouping in the UK hence setting the references there.
You are something special, just your laugh makes me laugh ...love your reactions, you just make them even funnier, you get British humour , it's really harmless, sarcastic and dry I know, but I bet you are brilliant fun out on the piss!! 👍🤣🤣🤣
Bloody love your channel! Great to see you discovering awesome British comedy. "The works outing" from the IT crowd is probably the funniest episode of any sitcom I've ever seen. You should also check out "one foot in the grave".
No matter how many times I watch this, it always cracks me up and your reaction was just as amusing. The thing with Tate, brilliant actress that she is, is that she's _challenging_ stereotypes, by appearing to endorse them, as does Sacha Baron Cohen and Al Murray, the pub landlord. Trouble is, there's always an element that thinks that the above are actually poking fun _at_ gay people, or women, or different races. Some people will never get it! 😉😉
Her Ulster accent is spot on. As per the gay stereotype its almost like we're oh, I dunno, people or something. We're as varied as straight and cis people.
You have to react to the full episodes they’re absolutely hilarious! You seem to get the humor and the entire show is mocking stereotypes, there are far funnier sketches than this!! Loved the reaction as always!
They are Northern Irish Protestants. The marching season is a big thing in the Orange calendar. There is an atmosphere present here because of these stereotypes.
What makes this funny is how frustrating it is for people to be so homophillic as well as homophobic. Great comedy points at the elephant in the room that's been there the whole time. I can really relate to this sketch but I never really noticed it properly. This really made it obvious. The Harry Enfield sketch is also fantastic too. You don't want to do it like that. Seriously, the correct answer to "I'm gay" is "OK, noted." and carry on. Like it's just a small footnote.
If you’re not familiar with the Only Fools characters and backstory watching The Jolly Boys Outing will not resonate in the same way. It just won’t be as funny.
A tactic I have seen to avoid the algorithms that look for copied content is that people Mirror flip the content they are watching. I dont know if it works but it sounds like it could help.
Hey After Work,I noticed your vintage collections.Do you have any of the Legion of SuperHeroes action figures, vintage comic books, or any battery operated vintage passenger planes?
You are right, gay or stright people have thier preference of what type of guy or girl they like is like when you go to eat, you eat what you like and not what is given to you ;)
The background to this sketch is the sectarian violence between the Catholic and Protestant factions in Northern Ireland. So, the conversations they're having are about basically 'terrorists', like the one's that come to their door. They are also, obviously, not known for their support of the LGBT community. So, it is a very political sketch in that sense. I've got a recommendation for a set that you should try. ''The Day Today'', which is Chris Morris' first successful TV series and a lighter precursor to 'Brass Eye'. Definitely worth a look and will lead you onto other things, such as Alan Partridge. ua-cam.com/video/eTGE9153VFE/v-deo.html
WoW!! That was quick!! Just letting you know. I just saw “Balls of steel - Alex zane mind games” go up and I looked only to find video isn’t there and the comments are turned off it’s not on daily motion either. You have got 2 views, so I’m guessing 2 people saw it before it was taken down.☹️
To properly understand this you need to understand the history and politics of Northern Ireland. Those marches would normally be ultra nationalist type things and there is a heavy religious presence.
Those marchers would have been heavily loyalist as well The little ditty being played was " the Sash " Protestant hymn through & through Not my cup of tea , but still , just an explanation from a Belfast born lad
Check out Catherine tate nan please. P. S your reaction to 4 candles was brilliant!!. Even though you didn't get the bilooks/ bollocks reference. Your gonna be a brit soon and welcome you are. Because I love you for what you do because your uploads makes me laugh every day. Peace bro I love you
You've gone down the karl pilkington rabbit hole, and I'd suggest Gordon Ramsay; 'kitchen nightmares uk&usa, hotel hell and best moments of hells kitchen'. Dont bleep his swearing and putdowns are the best!
As someone who lives in Northern Ireland it's rare to hear an actor do a proper Northern Ireland accent. I cringe when I hear Americans in films. Jackal anyone?
I love that the almost archaic views of gay people, especially when you base it on N Ireland, can be used as the punchline; turning a stereotype into the opposite of the view you think they'd have is clever, not genius, just clever, but it does depend on timing.
The joke really is less about gay stereotypes than it is about the famously intolerant religious and hardnecked attitudes of certain communities in northern Ireland and how they would react to homosexuality. The joke is that they are tolerant here, though still talking in that hard man manner. At the time this show was made the Northern Ireland peace agreement would not have been in place for long (and a lot of the tensions, hatreds and prejudices are still there). Its in that context it has to be seen.
the reason you dont get the full clips is cos your using videos from people who have stolen all there content the full show should be available somewhere, or maybe thats why u chose it idk
