For the viewers who don't know, a 'budgie' is short for 'Budgerigar'. It's a small pet bird, often green in color, commonly known here in the states as a 'parakeet'.
Personally, I thought it was hilarious because I was expecting a totally different accent after he said he was from East Putney! And then how nonsensical the story sounded😂 But there was nothing funny about the accent itself
We do say Booo! The reaction he describes is kind of weird though. I would have said: well alright then, take me with you! And if he´d said yes I would have said Ohhhh! :)
Ahaha, yeahh, it's probably not as difficult for us but it was still a little strange.. plus it's Graham Norton, he'll skit anybody no matter what their accent :')
of course Germans do Booo ("Buuuh!") but when a crowd shouts, the consonants may not be heard so good. try shouting maaaaaaan or something, you will only hear the aaaaaa part. but the rest of the story seems VERY realistic to me ;)
i dont think graham gave shappi a fair chance, they barely mentioned what she's doing and she was rushed but everyone else's projects were in depth with multiple stories.... it was all really funny tho
So do Americans only call budgies parakeets? I'm Canadian and we call them by both, but I guess it's pretty common that we use words from both British and American vernaculars lol
LMFAO whats a budgie? :') bless her must be an english word lol it was funny when the new zealand kid was on lol geordies are harder understand then them tho, i'd love to see what they'd do if one went on lol
I think it may just be his accent and the way hes pronouncing stuff cause I can't find anything else that might be funny in that story lol. Don't take my word for it though - its just a guess hehee
"They're like.....WAT?"

this is the funniest interview I've ever seen! :)
Yes
i love Reeses straight face thinking I have no idea whats going on.after graham flipped the girl on the red chair.
Don't get why they were laughing at the New Zealand accent. I'm English, understood it all?
DapaChrons they always do that on this show it’s a running gag
So did I and I'm from Argentina
Personally, I thought it was hilarious because I was expecting a totally different accent after he said he was from East Putney! And then how nonsensical the story sounded😂 But there was nothing funny about the accent itself
I love this show❣️❣️❣️❣️
i was hoping he’d mention Jack W to Robert :(
Haha, Brazilians go "Ooooooooooooo!" too!
good show!
Me too! Hahaha :D
To me most British slang that I don't understand sounds dirty, lol.
I’m pretty sure the first guy in the red chair had been on here before. He was super skinny with short sleeves on and that same accent
hahaha that blue shirt dude sounds so much like my kiwi neighbours, if only they weren't laughing so much I could have understood him.
Jesus Hugh Laurie, R-Pattz n Resse on one show
When I read this I thought "Isn't it a bird or something?" And then I had to google it; glad this Brooklyn girl isn't ignorant :)
We do say Booo! The reaction he describes is kind of weird though. I would have said: well alright then, take me with you! And if he´d said yes I would have said Ohhhh! :)
You would've said OOOOOOOOO !
I got kind of annoyed when they wouldn't stop laughing at a New Zealand accent
Especially after they were discussing accents a little while before!
Why lol it was funny
Oww! Reese is so lovely!
Great show ;)
hahaha... what's a budgie??? love it!!!
Graham es súper divertido
If i wouldnt live in germany i would definitely wanna go there. Seems like a crazy culturetrip!
Robert:what?!
best ending to a show omg lol.
I only know what a budgie is cuz I used to play this vet game... That was when I was 5 though
Love to know if “budgie” became a slang term even just briefly 😆
I'm british, and i didnt know what a budgie was.. :S LOL
I'm Indian, and I'm understanding what he is saying. They didn't listen well.
I'm an American and I do know what a budgie is. But then I am an Anglophile and I have British friends =)
Ahaha, yeahh, it's probably not as difficult for us but it was still a little strange.. plus it's Graham Norton, he'll skit anybody no matter what their accent :')
2:52 one more british husband for my mom :)
GO BACK TO EEENGLAND!
Haha, yes Hugh, come back! =D
@Lovehopeandfaithful haha!!! me too!!!
That's budgie dear!
of course Germans do Booo ("Buuuh!")
but when a crowd shouts, the consonants may not be heard so good.
try shouting maaaaaaan or something, you will only hear the aaaaaa part.
but the rest of the story seems VERY realistic to me ;)
why is british tv so amazing and american so sucky. i live in the wrong country.
I would have to agree!!
@02jonesm I would like to see the video, if you don't mind uploading it.
i dont think graham gave shappi a fair chance, they barely mentioned what she's doing and she was rushed but everyone else's projects were in depth with multiple stories.... it was all really funny tho
IKR I noticed that too
what did Reese say she thought the woman said? I couldn't hear
The song was cut out. :-(
FilmNerd85 I don't think anyone else noted that
We say booo as well...
@MichaelaKhadabux77 TINE is TEN. its the New Zealand accent :)
It's a New Zealand accent haha
They're english lol Robert and Hugh
Yes ¡¡ !!
i thought he sounded a but like a kiwi. I could understand him easily.
So do Americans only call budgies parakeets? I'm Canadian and we call them by both, but I guess it's pretty common that we use words from both British and American vernaculars lol
@Lovehopeandfaithful its a bird haha xD
Which guy?
Budgie.....budgerigar, its a pet bird. Smaller than a parrot, and colourful.
@hemulcahy its a bird :)
@Lovehopeandfaithful are budgies called something different in america?
Abi Tostevin Yes, they are called parrots or parakeets.
Because of his accent and the fact they couldn't understand what he was saying
Poor budget :-(
I'm canadian and I know what a budgie is, I guess Americans just dropped the word because the English brought it over.
LMFAO whats a budgie? :') bless her must be an english word lol it was funny when the new zealand kid was on lol geordies are harder understand then them tho, i'd love to see what they'd do if one went on lol
Que bueno el minuto 1:24
I didnt know Hugh was British wow hes is good with the accent change
I think it may just be his accent and the way hes pronouncing stuff cause I can't find anything else that might be funny in that story lol. Don't take my word for it though - its just a guess hehee
@Abilessthan3 I had to google what a budgie was too. lol We just call them parrots or parakeets in America.
that guy sounds like Australian or something
Ian Karundeng nah don't insult us. It's a New Zealand accent
