It's nice I feel because it is a different culture and W&G makes it feel even more so. To foreigners even English speaking one it just feels different and that's also definitely a good thing.
American also, I read the title and thought "well yeah. Obviously." Took me a moment to realize they meant it negatively. Grabs England to his chest protectively a look of shock on his face, "studio man. You leave Father alone.

yup, you can tell it's Wigan by the postcode on Gromit's Birthday Card and on Wallace's Bills in "The Wrong Trousers", their full address is "62 West Wallaby Street, Wigan, WG7 3FU"... but by birthright Wallace is a Yorkshireman (due to Sallis reusing his Holme Valley accent he used for Norman Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine) so he's technically a Yorkshireman living in Lancashire.

This may get long, I love W&G as a kid and I haven't watched it since 2004-ish. I had a English teacher and he was always so serious, never smiled very monotone. I vowed i would get him to smile and maybe even chuckle. We were in a weird spot in school and he played W&G during a dead spot in class. Through this i was able to find a line to his funny bone and succeeded in my goal. I will always tell everyone to watch this show. Thank you for finally doing a episode on this. I have never watched flushed away. The trailer turned me away
your average American knows Swiss, cheddar, Parmesian, American, blue cheese, and mozerella. If you are cultured you can add riccotta and brie, feta and maybe ghouda. I'm pretty sure the average brit would blow that list out of the water.
Its set in Lancashire. Nick Park was brought up in Lancashire and Wallace very was loosely based on his dad. Peter Sallis was a Yorkshireman but W+G was set in the other side of the Pennines
Made in my hometime this was. i remember as a teen someone burned their factory to the ground and they lost more or less everything i think. We also have a Wallis and Gromit hunt around Bristol where you have to find these huge Gromits that are painted by the locals. It's great fun finding them all. Good times.
Krypto the super-dog definitely deserves a spot on that list! maybe even Ace the bat-hound! I think they might have a good shot tbh, and I'd love to see how Gromit would create this unique scenario where he'd still come out on top. Loved this video!
I remember watching this as a kid and got really confused about the melon parts...I was like "oh cool a watermelon" but then when we saw it I was like...thats my a watermelon...or a normal melon
In the documentary talking about the history of Aardman and their work, when talking about The Wrong Trousers, they compare that scene where Gromit is stalking Feather's McGraw Hitchcockian - which is a damn great compliment if you ask me. Also the train chase is the best animation scene anyone has ever made and nobody can convince me otherwise
Dreamworks not understanding that keeping the word "marrow" in the film will help audiences learn what a marrow is with virtually no loss of engagement. That's like, 90% of the ways children learn new and interesting words after they've mastered the basics of reading. And if Americans were going to reject Wallace and Gromit on the basis that they didn't immediately know a word for a vegetable which would later be prominently displayed onscreen several times for illustrative purposes, then they didn't deserve Wallace and Gromit in the first place.
I love the fact that some people will be shocked at the idea that this is you toning your accent down. As a Scotsman who spent time living in London, I know what that's like.
Ha I’m a scouser, the amount of people who take their accent for granted is beyond me 😂 I’m aware I naturally have a very broad accent (which I hold dear to me), in my own videos I have to really really tone down how I talk haha
I always found that northern accents tended to get broader the further south I went , always remember having a group conversation in Portsmouth, Scottish, Scouse, Geordie and Yorkshire featured very heavily and fluently with each other but apparently completely opaque to the two local participants.
I can’t be the only one who loved Flushed Away, right?... I mean the fact that all the French characters were Frogs, was enough to make me giggle as a kid, rewatching it as an adult and the amount of jokes and references that went over my head was insane. “Okay men, To action!” “WE SURRENDER!” “NOT THAT ONE, YOU IDIOTS!, the kung-fu thing...” “Ooooooh.”
I hate how companys try to make changes to such beloved things, I understand they want to get as many people as possible to make money, but they are destroying the reason people love it
My nomination for Fictional Dog Kumite is Bolt - either his TV persona (has literal superpowers) or the actual Good Boy the film focuses on (very determined, plus he's moved past his identity issues and is fully aware of his capabilities and limitations so he can work within them)
Yeah for a while I didn’t even notice Wallace and Gromit was British and when I watched the movie I was confused why the “melon” was green on the inside
As an Aussie kid i loved it maybe because my dad taped them oh vhs with mr bean so we'd watch them when shit all was on tv and it was raining, also my dad is British lol
I'm not 100% sure but Courage the Cowardly Dog absolutely has to be inspired by Wallace and Grommit, or if not, its my nomination for an American version of Wallace and Grommit
Growing up in Canada, got a dvd of Chicken Run. We laughed our asses off because the subtitles were on by default, presumably under the assumption that North American audiences would need them to understand the very northern chickens.
I've long since noticed from when you started doing this how more of a generalized your British accent have become. I've always felt a little pride in being able to understand most thick accent versions of the language called English.
I am American and yet this was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I first saw its a showcase of claymation weirdly enough at boston museum of art theater..and I loved it as a kid it was SO funny the idea they think we couldn't appreciate it stupid. Its all nonverbal humor anyway which is universal and I was 5 when I saw and laughed like crazy.
I remember when i was in highschool my video production teacher showed us W&G as an example of stop motion animation and I was the only in there that scene it before so it was fun to see everyone else's reaction to the show.
for the dog face off I'd like to see Brian Griffin vs Gromit, cause I reckon Bri would be all talk and Gromit could fully destroy him. Also more British vs American beef
As an American, I have LOVED Wallace and Gromit since I found out about it around 2000. I love claymation, and I love the quirky characters the Aardman makes. I love Aardman productions. I normally don't care for stuff that is made mainly for 1 culture, but that's just it, it doesn't seem to be.
I once tried to explain the plots of W&G to my Spanish housemate, he lost it when I told him they were attacked by a cooker on the moon for unpaid parking.
My first wallace and gromit episode My dad rented it from the videoclub back in 2002

I'm from the U.S. and grew up with W&G. This may be the purest way I have ever heard that explained and it made me smile so much. Thank you.
As an American, being "too British" is a major reason I loved Wallace and Gromit so much. He'll being "too british" was most of its charm for me.

You'd think that was the selling pot. Americans love British stuff. You'd think Dreamworks would know why they bought Aardman.
As an american, it being "too British" is why Ive loved it so much.
And it just shows how much "movie exec's" have their heads up each other's asses.

They do the penguins facial expressions without a mouth as well. It's fucking fantastic
Same with Gromit. It's all eyebrow work, with the occasional facepalm thrown in for good measure. It's amazing how emotive they can be
The Penguin's complete lack of expression when everyone else is so expressive is incredibly menacing

I will always tell everyone to watch this show. Thank you for finally doing a episode on this. I have never watched flushed away. The trailer turned me away
Any dog battle royale would come down to Gromit and Gnasher in the end. Gromit for smarts and Gnasher for sheer berserker energy
I feel like Courage would come very close to the top two despite his cowardice for his feats alone
Gromit is one of my favourite characters because he gets put through so much and keeps going.
For a long time when I was a kid I thought that all British people was obsessed with cheese because of this film, but also this film is brilliant
I'm pretty sure we are tho
As a Brit I can confirm I love cheese
Me vegan sister doesn't though
Oh, we are
your average American knows Swiss, cheddar, Parmesian, American, blue cheese, and mozerella. If you are cultured you can add riccotta and brie, feta and maybe ghouda. I'm pretty sure the average brit would blow that list out of the water.
@@wodthehunter8145 what they dont know is that "Swiss cheese" is actually emmental.
Its set in Lancashire.
Nick Park was brought up in Lancashire and Wallace very was loosely based on his dad.
Peter Sallis was a Yorkshireman but W+G was set in the other side of the Pennines
Made in my hometime this was. i remember as a teen someone burned their factory to the ground and they lost more or less everything i think. We also have a Wallis and Gromit hunt around Bristol where you have to find these huge Gromits that are painted by the locals. It's great fun finding them all. Good times.
Don't you dare diss flushed away! that film is brilliant.
My 5th grade teacher was crazy for Wallace and Gromit. Favorite quote is "CHEEEESSSE!"
please tell me they did the hands too
@@Ramtamtama yes. I do it too. My wife dies with embarassment when at the grocery.
Idk my favorite is “We forgot the crAHkuhs!” from A Grand Day Out 😂
Krypto the super-dog definitely deserves a spot on that list! maybe even Ace the bat-hound! I think they might have a good shot tbh, and I'd love to see how Gromit would create this unique scenario where he'd still come out on top. Loved this video!
Fact Fiend, Tom Scott and Jay Foreman uploading at the same time? Here's me thinking this day was a total write off.
Ah a man of culture as well
I remember watching this as a kid and got really confused about the melon parts...I was like "oh cool a watermelon" but then when we saw it I was like...thats my a watermelon...or a normal melon
Can we count K-9 from Doctor Who as a dog? Because if so you need K-9 in there on the Kumite.
Yes master!
In the documentary talking about the history of Aardman and their work, when talking about The Wrong Trousers, they compare that scene where Gromit is stalking Feather's McGraw Hitchcockian - which is a damn great compliment if you ask me. Also the train chase is the best animation scene anyone has ever made and nobody can convince me otherwise
a plane battle between snoopy and gromit? missed opportunity to call it a dogfight!
the wrong trousers was my intro and will always have a special place in my heart
The point of Wallace and Gromit is to celebrate what it is to be British. Bugger off. It's a great series and doesn't need any changing.
Dreamworks not understanding that keeping the word "marrow" in the film will help audiences learn what a marrow is with virtually no loss of engagement. That's like, 90% of the ways children learn new and interesting words after they've mastered the basics of reading. And if Americans were going to reject Wallace and Gromit on the basis that they didn't immediately know a word for a vegetable which would later be prominently displayed onscreen several times for illustrative purposes, then they didn't deserve Wallace and Gromit in the first place.
I love the fact that some people will be shocked at the idea that this is you toning your accent down.
As a Scotsman who spent time living in London, I know what that's like.
Ha I’m a scouser, the amount of people who take their accent for granted is beyond me 😂
I’m aware I naturally have a very broad accent (which I hold dear to me), in my own videos I have to really really tone down how I talk haha
I always found that northern accents tended to get broader the further south I went , always remember having a group conversation in Portsmouth, Scottish, Scouse, Geordie and Yorkshire featured very heavily and fluently with each other but apparently completely opaque to the two local participants.
I can’t be the only one who loved Flushed Away, right?...
I mean the fact that all the French characters were Frogs, was enough to make me giggle as a kid, rewatching it as an adult and the amount of jokes and references that went over my head was insane.
“Okay men, To action!”
“WE SURRENDER!”
“NOT THAT ONE, YOU IDIOTS!, the kung-fu thing...”
“Ooooooh.”
I like it and I know someone who for whom it was their favourite movie as a kid.
I hate how companys try to make changes to such beloved things, I understand they want to get as many people as possible to make money, but they are destroying the reason people love it
complaining about British characters from a British studio is kinda dumb.
I just binged like all of Dragon Ball Super before this video was posted, and you basically just made Doggo Tournament of Power. Tournament of Doggo.
I'm sad I didn't get to hear Karl explain the ultimate faceoff that would occur if Mr. Peabody was put in the fight.
Brain from Inspector Gadget. Hacking security systems, disarming bombs, foiling the bad guys while saving Gadget.
Dougal from The Magic Roundabout could be a contender but he's probably throw the match for a lump of sugar.
He's also French, which might pose a bit of a problem.
@@nodiggity9472 the English dub is totally its own thing compared to the original.
@@tisFrancesfault Yeah, I know. I grew up with it. 5.55 every afternoon, just before the news.
I think a fully northern episode of FactFiend is what we need.
This American would be happy to learn to understand a Northern English accent. I love hearing how things are in different places.
My nomination for Fictional Dog Kumite is Bolt - either his TV persona (has literal superpowers) or the actual Good Boy the film focuses on (very determined, plus he's moved past his identity issues and is fully aware of his capabilities and limitations so he can work within them)
I would love a Littlest Hobo Wiki Weekends just to see if it was the first dog to do a halo jump.
Yeah for a while I didn’t even notice Wallace and Gromit was British and when I watched the movie I was confused why the “melon” was green on the inside
Ahh yes Grand Day Out. I was terrified of the Moon Robot.
That was always my favorite!
So thats why i couldn't figure out why the "melon" didn't look like a melon. It was a marrow....
As an Aussie kid i loved it maybe because my dad taped them oh vhs with mr bean so we'd watch them when shit all was on tv and it was raining, also my dad is British lol
DreamWorks: "No one will get something this British"
Mr. Bean: holding up a sign saying "am I a joke to you" before slipping on a cup of tea
I'm not 100% sure but Courage the Cowardly Dog absolutely has to be inspired by Wallace and Grommit, or if not, its my nomination for an American version of Wallace and Grommit
Courage the Cowardly Dog is nightmare fuel
@@fujoera
And we loved it.
@@l0sts0ul89 for sure!
The wrong trousers is the funniest claymation I've ever seen
Do a whole video with your accent! I would love to guess what you’re saying
Wallace and grommit was my first exposure to British culture as a kid
Ya'll just slept on Air Bud and Courage and I can't help but imagine them in it too.
@@Poldovico And dont forget Air Buddy has all his little Air Buddies for bak up,
Growing up in Canada, got a dvd of Chicken Run. We laughed our asses off because the subtitles were on by default, presumably under the assumption that North American audiences would need them to understand the very northern chickens.
What about Brain from inspector gadget? I feel him and Grom have alot in common
I loved watching these as a kid . W&G are the best .. I used to watch them with my father when he was alive . Lots of great memories..
I've long since noticed from when you started doing this how more of a generalized your British accent have become. I've always felt a little pride in being able to understand most thick accent versions of the language called English.
I am American and yet this was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I first saw its a showcase of claymation weirdly enough at boston museum of art theater..and I loved it as a kid it was SO funny the idea they think we couldn't appreciate it stupid. Its all nonverbal humor anyway which is universal and I was 5 when I saw and laughed like crazy.
You mention resourceful cowardly dogs but didn't mention the goodest boy of all... Courage the cowardly dog!
Now I want to hear Karl's natural speaking voice.
The bit with grommet trying to get rid of a bomb. May be a tribute to the 1960s Batman series.
Batman the Movie (1966), to be pedantic.
But only because everyone who hasn't seen it, should go and watch it right now.
@@kildogery oh yes it is. "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb."
@@MakCurrel it also features the shark repellent batspray, they conveniently have in the Batcopter.
What's not to love?
@@kildogery I know, right!
I remember when i was in highschool my video production teacher showed us W&G as an example of stop motion animation and I was the only in there that scene it before so it was fun to see everyone else's reaction to the show.
for the dog face off I'd like to see Brian Griffin vs Gromit, cause I reckon Bri would be all talk and Gromit could fully destroy him. Also more British vs American beef
As an American, I have LOVED Wallace and Gromit since I found out about it around 2000. I love claymation, and I love the quirky characters the Aardman makes. I love Aardman productions. I normally don't care for stuff that is made mainly for 1 culture, but that's just it, it doesn't seem to be.
