- I’m back with another reaction video, I’ve had so many great recommendations from you all. I’ve really enjoyed Peter kay and Micky Flannagan, they’re absolutely hilarious, so I’m really looking forward to watching Al Murray vs Americans.
Before I get started, a lot of you mentioned that I need to react to Lee Evans.. are there any particular videos you guys recommend as I have no idea where to start… let me know in the comments
Follow me on social media :)

Al Murray has a degree from Cambridge in History... his actual breadth of knowledge is staggering. The Pub Landlord character allowed him to make his knowledge and quick wit accessible to those that weren't as knowledgeable but we carried along.
He is a comedy legend and was lucky to see him live in a small comedy club as a mystery performer as he tried out new material... my wife and I were in bits and for some reason she put her hand up for being from an EU country.
After the show he came up to her and made sure he hadn't upset her too much... she is very proud of the selfie
Sorry, it’s Oxford, not Cambridge.
So al made use of one of the most useless degrees
@@ketarwalker6141 Al became a comedian because he could..........he actually went to Oxford, btw. The Oxford Revue is a famous group of gifted students who develop talents in entertainment whilst studying. Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle (all Monty Python), Olivia Colman (The Crown), David Frost, Germaine Greer, Stephen Fry, Graeme Garden, Hugh Lawrie (House), Daniel Massey, and these are only the ones I can remember. They all came from this group. Where Al is different, like Hugh Lawrie and Stephen Fry et al, he can do comedy and uses his classic history degree too. He makes serious history programmes, producing and writing. So he is teaching history and keeping our interest in the past alive. You’re obviously woke.......your comment is crass and unnecessary.
@@ketarwalker6141 it's only a useless degree if you are not interested in that subject. Stop being so juvenile eh? 🙄
@@christinemillership1189 Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie actually went to Cambridge and not Oxford and both would be horrified if people thought they went to Oxford. Hugh Laurie actually rowed in the boat race for Cambridge. In fact everybody you mentioned went to Cambridge and were members of Footlights and not the Oxford Revue.
On stage, Al Murray is a walking encyclopedia of info on almost any subject. A very sharp and acerbic mind.
Well, yeah. Consider that he asks the audience member where they've come from and then does a whole routine on that.
Like, if they'd said "Australia" instead, then he's probably got a whole other routine doing the same for Australia. And another one for France. And another one for Germany. Et cetera.
Now, that's very clever indeed. Not just to have a ton of different routines all ready to go, but to pull out whichever one fits the audience member, so that it all seems genuinely off-the-cuff and makes his "pub landlord" character seem more believable.
And he's actually got a degree from Oxford, and is extremely knowledgeable about world history. He's just playing the slightly racist opinionated drunken oaf for the comedy.
@@klaxoncow NO LOL they ARE plants dude. He KNOWS this is ALL rehearsed silly hehehehh
@@rooneye completely wrong, it's all ad libbed, he has a sharp mind. You don't, that's why you can't comprehend what's going on.
@@kev27kev27 I can comprehend what's going on I just would have assumed they were plants. I know a bit about showbiz and there are little things like how whatever person goes quiet and lets him do the resulting piece.
He's certainly knowledgeable though, and presents the knowledge in a laughable way that seems not to offend, appreciating nuances like British arrogance and the pillage and plunder of old times.
Al is a really funny, warm guy and I like the way this lady let the comedy roll and the tears roll as a result. 😊 Good stuff!
@@DirtyJamesUK you can tell by their reaction they're not plants. He's just one of those people with a good memory and a sharp mind. In my opinion, although it looks simple and formulaic, he is a level above most comedians.
Seen him a couple times live. I love him. His knowledge of history is incredible. He can pull a joke from thin air based on a year or country given. He's also styled as the Pub Landlord comedian, so always a pint :) I love his shows.
He's extremely knowledgable about WW2 battle history.
Great Britain and America: "a people divided by a common language"! How true!
Yours is the best reaction to comedy. No chit-chat just tears. Brilliant.
🤣😊
👍🇬🇧
Absolutely - nothing proves you get it more than helpless chuckles and teary eyes :D.
@@AMANDARAEUK if you want to watch something funny then you should watch best of public prank videos (so far) parts 1&2
He is in character of a uk pub landlord, his character is reflective of the sorts of discussions that happen between regulars an landlords in uk pubs. E.g. you may hear lengthy and heated debates over who the best electricity and gas providers are. This normally depends on how much the alcohol has been consumed. Al obviously uses this as a platform for comedy, and he does it very well.
He's an exceptionally talented comedian...its all a character...he's also a musician and has a deep knowledge of history
He's also a director at the British drum company
His dad always took him on holiday growing up to famous battlegrounds which is probably where it started
Didn't he do a show where he went to D-day battlefields in an old jeep, or did I dream that?
@@choughed3072 He did
@@SamuelBlack84 He's a descendant of William Makepeace Thackeray, the author of Vanity Fair.
AMANDA RAE I saw Al Murray live at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival a few years ago and he was totally phenomenal, I was crying with laughter throughout. Just a few minutes after the show ended I saw him in a nearby outdoor bar having a post gig pint (of course!), I congratulated him and shook his hand, he was very gracious and charming
Seen him live, hes one of the best, The stereotype pub landlord is so British and he plays it perfectly, hes a very very well educated man and is completely different in his personal life.
Like rowen atkinson or mr Bean hes an oxford graduate ☺
Al Murray once said about his `Pub Landlord` character "He's a Know-all, who actually knows nothing!" Al is very different in person and has once stood for Parliament.
Isn't that a commentary on all old-school pub landlords though. He's not an individual character, he's a stereotype. Back in the days when England had real pubs, instead of massive budget gastro-chains, most of them would have been run by a guy like this. Like a London cab-driver, knows everything, opinion on anything...
@@sgtpluck8344 Proper drinking pubs, where you might get a cheese toastie if you were lucky and no children. The good old days.
@Jezza Corbynista Why did you vote for him then?
@@MsJackcool69 well said hardly any decent pubs left in Scotland been in a few cracking old fashioned pubs in England a few years ago working down there probably plastic pub now very sad cheers anyway
Politics loss, comedy gain. Who wishes to be a politician nowadays.
"And a great big fucking ocean... Thank Christ.." Wise words from Al there.
When it comes to some things it's not fuc*ing big enough!
Not big enough , is the mid Ocean ridge on strike,come on get a move on!! Isolate the dumb shower!
Hello Amanda, listened and watched your posts over the last few weeks. What a breath of fresh air you are. Such a lively upbeat take on British and American views and thoughts. We are well happy that you've settled down to life in the UK. Keep up the good work so nice not to hear people persistently knocking our country but acting as an ambassador for us instead.
His persona is 'The Pub Landlord' hence the pints, he has a degree from Oxford University and is known historian.
He's actually really well spoken and extremely educated in his private life, even his voice is totally different, clever man
Al Murray is simply playing a role of 'The Pub Landlord', who in theory has to be friendly with everyone, in order to prosper.
That said, AL is a medium / high achiever with an History Degree. All Hail to the Ale. Great Reaction vid, thank you
He's a great historian as well thanks to that. 👀
But he completely missed the race to the moon, it seems.
"What do you do love?"
'Executive Assistant'
"So.. Secretary..."
It is a really nice change when you come across people who have their audio sorted out. Your mic quality is spot on I'd say.
Thank you 😊
@@AMANDARAEUK have you heard of Sara Millican? Must have, given your hubby's from her neck of the woods. Chatterbox is great but anything of hers is likely to be worth a look in
Doesn’t matter who comes first when you’re on your own - great line
You should watch his "The most frightening thing you'll ever hear is hell being described in a Scottish accent" routine it's so funny
I'm hearing more and more of an English twang to her voice each time....kinda sweet haha
He is always drinking pints in his stand up, as he's playing the character of an opinionated pub landlord. He used to have a TV programme called Al Murray's Happy Hour (which was essentially a comedy stand up/chat show).
Amanda, you are a real breath of fresh air. I love the fact that you can laugh out loud, and do not try to hide your amusement it appears that you have a wonderful sense of humour. Keep these video clips coming........PLEASE!!!
I only watch for your little snort laugh... so cute!
Lol! Thank you 😊
That’s a true sign of laughter but I agree, it’s very cute!
Yes as the pub landlord he always has a pint in his hand. Best part of it is most of that is unrehearsed and improvised because he just picks out a member of the audience and just goes from there. My daughter saw him live and he did just that and asked where people were from and then went from there as his knowledge of this country and it’s accents, it’s history and the history of the world and it’s people is second to none. A very funny man indeed.
Thanks for the reaction... I see others have beat me to it in explaining that this is a "character" he plays... the guy's actually very educated in real life.
Recently watched a video about his life. He is a clever and cultured man. His comedy is down to chance. His subjects, pure comedy stuff. Nobody is spared.
Rhod Gilbert ranting about modern washing machines had me nearly wetting myself!! 😂😂😂😂
Definitely worth a watch!
And the one he does about the suitcase coming through the airport😂
But a welshman ;)
He's always drinking pints because his trade mark is the pub landlord
Amanda,your laugh is so infectious it is a delight to see X
I love Al Murray saw him live a couple of years ago and he was class, us Brits do kinda see our Yank cousins in that way tbh 😉 all good banter though 🇬🇧
US BRITS have the BEST COMEDY and I was arguing with a yank about it he was like Stand up? Dave Chapelle. PERIOD (american for full stop hehe) game over I win. ANd i was like fuck off he's not even top 5 of british lads
If you liked that one Amanda, you might like Al Murry's "Name a country, we have defeated them".
It's very informative (due to him being a history graduate from Oxford) and also funny. 😊
Oh I agree she should react to that one not only is it funny it also educational .
In that routine, he makes a mistake, confusing Uganda and Tanganika. Uganda was never a German colony. It was a British Protectorate (not a colony). We just swanned up and took over, and the Ugandans did not seem to mind very much. So we didn't defeat them. A rare error on his part.
@@allenwilliams1306 In that case, if we "took over, and the Ugandans did not seem to mind" they became de facto "Allies of ours, and being an ally of ours counts as loosing to us!" 😊
@@allenwilliams1306 still counts as a win 😂😂😂
@@theabcdealer Oh, yeah, there was a bit of a civil war with the Ugandans converted by our Protestants defeating a bunch of Ugandans converted by French Catholics, so obviously it was a win for us, but the Germans did not get a look-in.
I know everyone is mentioning Al Murray's "Name a country, we have defeated them". but my favourite by far is his comparing accents from around the UK, that had me tittering for days. Also as someone else mentioned Rhod Gilbert's rantings are fantastic.
I'm a Geordie, nearly spilled me pint when he did the whale song.
As a Scot I'm saying nuthin.
It's not him, it's just a character that he plays called the pub landlord, in real life Al Murray is a very intelligent and educated man 👍🏻
His road to Berlin series was really good
You mean…like James Bond isn’t real either? Shock revelation!!
Amanda, it would appear that I am an addict, not to forbidden substances, but to your ALWAYS entertaining posts on UA-cam, I am 88 years of age, and more or less restricted in my movement, but I only need to use a couple of fingers to get to see what you are reviewing on your page, and it cheers me up every time.
I'm so glad :)) i hope youre well Terry! :)
One of my favourite British stand-up comedians is Milton Jones. He occasionally appear on BBC2's Mock the Week. His type of humour is somewhat unpredictable and wacky, which is just like his hair style, which makes him look as though he's just returned from an Hawaiian holiday in an airplane with no roof. All the very best, Trevor from East London.
Yes, he's always drinking pints when in character as a pub landlord. He had his own sitcom 'Time Gentleman Please' that ran for two seasons.
I’ll have to check it out 😊
It has to be the sitcom/show with the most catchphrases.
@@10thdoctor15 'I was never confused!'
@@RaspberryRip 'Let's hear it for the beer!'
@@AMANDARAEUK He actually shot a Pilot for an American sitcom very similar to Time Gentleman Please, it was called Union Jackass.
Just love watching you have tears streaming down your face at the same time as me. Al is bloody hilarious as the pub landlord,
Yes he is!
I think his knowledge was always there, degree in history at Oxford. He has a documentary series on WWII battles. Top bloke thou' to use it all for comedy as well!
yeh! he's KNOWING HIS HISTORY MATE TOP BLOOOOOK
You have cheered me up no end watching you laugh Amanda. Al is playing a character of a pub landlord in times gone by, who would 'have one for himself' as in a pint of something and saw himself as 'a fountain of knowledge' talking away to his customers. In reality Al isn't bald and I believe shaves his hair and beard off for his characterisation.
He’s hilarious! I’m glad I made you smile 😊
One of the funniest standup comedians from the UK 🤣
Definitely watch more Al Murray videos, so much fantastic videos to choose from his material, always funny! Great video really enjoyed this, nice one!!!
Hi Amanda, as stated, Al is playing the part of a typical English, old school, Pub Landlord. Loud mouth, poorly educated, etc., but thinks differently. His grandfather was the former British Ambassador, Sir Ralph Murray and Al is Oxford educated. Seen him live. Don't sit in the first three rows, if you go!
As others have said, the character here is thst of the pint swigging, pub landlord. But In reality he's an incredibly educated bloke. Degrees in history etc etc. Very funny geezer.
It makes an enormous change to see someone do a reaction video from a different country and actually watch it, listen to it, react to it. So many just look and seem completely confused or just brain-dead.
You on the other hand are a breath of fresh air. As Baron pointed out, your audio is spot on. Your voice is soft, you laugh and cry when you are are supposed to and at the jokes; because you understand them and not because you are confused. You are clearly an intelligent person with a massive sense of humour.
Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 😊
Oh joy, great to see Amanda 'getting' Al Murray. And crying with laughter. Result.
Yes he drinks because he plays a character called the pub landlord.
"is he always drinking pints in his standup" yes because he is the pub landlord he has to make sure the booze has not gone flat
I was never confused.
Had the pleasure of going to see Al Murray in Bristol a few years ago. Utterly superb.
So glad to hear that Michael McIntyre is on your list as well - my only problem there would be suggesting what to watch, as all his stuff is brilliant!
Your reactions are just as good as Murray's. Lovely.
Hi Amanda, love watching you laughing at the best of British comedy. Take a look at Fawlty Towers where Basil has a German guest at his hotel and tells his staff not to mention the war. So funny.
Al Murray is the pub landlord and plays the part brilliantly. He’s always getting drunk lol
It’s very low alcohol, like 0.5%. He explained his ‘bar’ on one of his DVD extras
@@Davefrydp Yeah fair shout. He’s a bit like Jethro
Just caught up on you're videos, and brilliantly entertaining. It's great to see such a fun element between the two cultures!
Thank you 😊
This is his comic character. Al has a degree in history from Oxford. He is a very clever man.
Typical warmonger, egoist is what he is.
@@anonitachi7488 he plays it well doesn't he?
Its lovely to see your reaction to this,I was laughing with you 😂, love Al Murray, I've met him a couple of times, he's a lovely bloke 😊
Love how you get our humour 😂👍🏻
What you really need to watch is "An Audience with Billy Connolly" for the sketch about the incontinence pants. Highly visual and side splittingly funny.
The best Billy Connelly joke is the dwarf on the bus.
ua-cam.com/video/6cFlplRarCY/v-deo.html
Thing about Billy Connolly is that if you go to see him live you come out in pain from laughing so much. Then you go home and folks ask, "How was it?" and you go, "Great! Never laughed so much in my life". Then of course they ask, "What did he say?" and you go, "Er... dunno, cant remember, something about wanking, and maybe a dwarf". Happens every time.
@@gortmundy01 that's a perfect description for a Billy Connolly night.
Only experienced it once but that's how it went.
@@dub_dub1504 Think its a couple of times for me, same result. Its like a magic spell. Great nights though.
@@gortmundy01 a truly gifted comedian.
That is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile + your reaction.
It's hilarious that he supposedly started making fun of Americans, but the clip overall was there to make brutal fun of the Brits! Brilliantly done!
He is a very cultured man. His comedy is another part of his talent. Watched other stuff. A very mild man.
Hmmmm," mild man," was thst a joke!???
He was standing for election in 2015 General election. One of his policies was to increase a pound from 100p to 101p to give you more value in your pound.
One of the greatest comedians of all time, so fast with ad lib. Brilliant!
Lee Evans, please do the sketch where he's talking about trying to push start his car with his wife. Absolutely hilarious lol
As many have mentioned, Al plays a character who (he runs a pub) is a British patriot who has an interesting take on the world and Great Britain's part in it. Very funny, and very interesting to watch him viewed through different eyes.
Keep up good work with the enjoyable videos.
Al Murray actually describes his pub landlord character as a Conservative, know-nothing, know-all blowhard who is very opinionated. Very funny but also at the same time quite irritating when he is always telling people in the audience to "give themselves a round of applause" for no apparent reason.
If you haven't seen them yet, there's a couple of comedy series that defined a generation. I think they're all on UA-cam now. The first is Spaced, which was the series that launched Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright into orbit. The second is Black Books, about an incredibly bad-tempered, drunken Irish bookseller called Bernard Black, starring Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig. They're both outstanding. Of an era, but weathered well.
Don't be fooled Amanda he's playing a character, he was educated at Oxford University.
Hilarious that an American is actually fooled by him lmfao
@@Grandmastergav86 americans are easily fooled
@@marccoote9106 I think you almost started a war there!
Does anyone care where he went to school ? He's funny
If you can, Amanda, get to see Al Murray, live.
He is murderously funny.
But also incredibly bright. I have seen him twice now and the banter with the audience includes incredible memory for details, names, jobs, foibles etc. and he has no advance warning or information about the crowd.
He recalled the first four rows at one gig - every person except one (my son) who he failed to ‘pick on’ and even then at the after-show book signing, he remembered where we were sitting and that he had not ‘selected’ him.
And being a ‘student’ would have got him both barrels😂
Try Al Murray ' We defeated every country at war'
Okay! 👍🏻😊
He is a very clever man. Studied history and did a TV documentary series some time back about the D day invasion. Doesn't sound anything like the pub land lord he portrays here.
Yup, it's an act, but a very good one!
Amanda for Queen of England says I... Great reaction as always. Still loving the sound of your laugh. 😙
Ive watched this so many times and s good as Als landlord is nothing beats how you say pints lol
One you MUST try is Father Ted. One of the greatest sitcoms ever made and in my opinion well up there with the likes of Fawlty Towers. Just one word of warning.....don`t watch it if you are an easily offended, militant Catholic 😂🤣😂
You've got to love Al Murray. He's a walking talking historian.
Walking and talking history proffessor
Please watch Kevin bridges
That voice of yours gets me every time...you need a radio show or start a podcast or something :)
When he was on stage he did drink pints sadly none alcoholic one’s I did his security for a while and he is a really nice bloke.
Non alcoholic. None means "not any".
I love the irony of Al Murray's comedy is talking Great Britain up as the best while drinking an Australian beer that no Australian will touch.
Well spotted,we can only get good aussie beer during the ashes test matches.
Its not even proper beer hes playing a character
@@MultiRibrob Whoosh! Right over your head, son.
@@TheNakedWombat ye it has feel free to fill me in
That's why we we export Fosters it's a bloody horrible beer.
His stage show is the character the Pub Landlord from a situation comedy called Time Gentlemen Please.He's actually a very intelligent and well educated man.I think he want to Oxford and studied history and is very good at it.
That’s brilliant! He’s so funny
the character was around way before that Sky sitcom. he used to perform it back when he was touring with Harry Hill (and earlier) when no one knew who he was.
You should give Dave Allen ago and his sketch Teaching your kid to tell the time.
OMG! One of my favourite sketches ever!! 😂😂😂
@ anthony ovenden also Airplanes & religion from the same `93 stand up series. His original tv show sketches are hilarious too, on You tube in 4 parts. :)
Also Amanda..watch Dave Allen's Religious sketches. Very funny but not disrespectful
Dave was one of the best.
Lee Evans is hilarious. He's a very physical stand-up
Thanks for introducing me to another great British comic. I'm still chuckling as type this note. :)
Lee Evans "there's something about mary" office key scene..
Hilarious
He is in the character of a pub landlord when he does his stand-up .
So yes he constantly has a beer in his hand .
But it is VERY watered down (maybe even 'near-beer(?)') otherwise he would be as he says, " pissed "(drunk)
I don't know what's funnier, Al or you laughing! 🤣😂🤣😂❤❤❤
Yes the pint is a must ,and your facial reactions are brilliant,thanks.
Defo carry on with Al Murray he's amazing also some Billy Connolly and also some Karl Pilkington is a good one for Americans getting into British comedy
He's called Al Murray the pub landlord,that's why he has a pint in his ✋✋
Re drinking pInts, when he’s “The Pub Landlord” as in this video, yes he’s always drinking pints.
A smart an educated man, and great comedian
Triumph, love, devotion and travel. Swallows are Amazing in flight, just like al on stage. God bless Mr Murray!
If you haven't seen him yet have a look at Rhod Gilbert, very few funny stand ups in UK now.
Hilarious... I used to see him quite regularly walking down Chiswick high road with his children doing the shopping just being a normal dad. A very funny and clever man.
Amanda, I like to watch your reaction in all the videos you make, it's really great to see someone with a sense of humour, you are great. thanks for the video's.😄
Oh how lovely to watch a reaction video that doesn't keep getting stopped or talked over.....and that little giggle at the end...!
😊
Amanda is very cute
A good friend of mine used to run a comedy club many years ago, and Al Murray was a regular act. One day he asked her whether instead of using the stage, he could do his set from the bar. She agreed to it, the "pub landlord" was born, and the rest is history.
Al Murray's take on the rest of the world...must watch! Love a woman who snorts during laughter!!!
Priceless. .....tears of joy
🇬🇧😂🇺🇸 ohhh gawd I thought here we go, will she laugh or take offence. Your a star and definitely know our banter is just done for fun, you certainly have the British wicked sense of humour flowing through your veins..... An easy way to gauge it is if a Brit comedian rips your country or community to pieces, we like you. If your ignored then take offence 😜........I hope you can do a LEE EVENS reaction as he’s my favourite comedian. I watched other people trying and they all say it gets blocked for copyright reasons. Fingers crossed you can get one uploaded and your need a bucket for the tears of laughter, not just a tissue 😂😭 recommend ANIMALS if you can 🤞🏻....have a fantastic evening 😁
Sarah millican is a good North East British Comedian. I recommend you watch any of her videos. ❤️
One of the best reactions to Al Murray by an American I’ve seen. You got it. All your vids are amazing!! Thank you for integrating! Subscribed! 🏴🤣🤣❤️
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 😊👍🏻
Hi Amanda. I have just found your channel and i find myself laughing at you more than the thing you are watching ! Great stuff keep it up.
Lol I’m glad!
Thank you 😊
He's playing a character called the pub landlord.
Even to us Brits he is hilarious.
Look for the one where he does the Moon landing, can't think of the title. Might be the one about jobs?
One small step for man, one giant leap for a c**t more like!
@@deanrobinson7626 lol
@dylan murphy Of late most everyone I know seems to have just their sense of humour and getting worse each week. LoL.
So I couldn't be sure.
Alastair Murray’s got into comedy through the Oxford Revue ( at the university) where many really famous comedians and actors came from........He’s professionally Al Murray, The Pub Landlord.......over the years he’s developed the stage props of a bar etc. The drink is non alcoholic, as law in the U.K. doesn’t allow him to drink proper booze on stage. He’s got a degree in History from Oxford (clever lad, then) and is involved in historical programmes on TV as well as his comic skills. He’s a gifted narrator.
