I am Arab and I think British comedy is the best. Check out "Yes Minister" and Yes Prime Minister" and you'll understand why. One exception is possibly in my opinion The Office, the American remake was way better (maybe because of Steve Carrell).
@@pokerface7840 Glad you like English humour, Have you watched Only fools and horses, or the vicar of dibley? The office UK was my fave but then im from there it makes sense.
I watched and enjoyed The Vicar of Dibley I think the vicar actress' name is Dawn French. Also absolutely loved Black Adder :D But for me the best of the best is Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister I mean how many shows would you watch 3 times (or rewatch twice as Bernard would point out) I will look up Only Fools and Horses thank you for the reply and the recommendation :D @@AnglOsAxOn2
@@pokerface7840 Yes Dawn French was the vicar. Only fools was, and still is a classic comedy. Ironically Roger Lloyd pack played Characters in both productions, he has sadly since passed away. Hope you enjoy Only fools, some context may need explaining as it is London slang. All the best.
Loved Maggie. I am a Working Class Guy now living in a large home in The London Suburbs thanks to the Blessed Margeret allowing me to escape from social housing. She made me stand on my own 2 feet and I loved the way she sorted out those lazy besterda at THe Print when I worked in Fleet Street and saw them completely abuse their position and have 6 Men ( friends or family of The Union Baron ) doing the work of 2 Guys. Piss-Takers one and all..Maggie got it sorted..
Devy Ruu yea. its like u guys pronounce everything wrong on purpose. its like you had a dare one day on who can come up more riddiculous way of saying commom words.
vilas1512 im only guessing but i can only think that a QS is a well paid, but dull existence, lots of paper and calculations, not a fashionable role at all, suited to men and women who live a stereotypical 2.4 children existence in suburbia with the company car, nandos on saturday, b and q on sunday. Lol.
It's making fun of a TV show around that time called Ask the Family (ruclips.net/video/w1WZpTSNEfA/видео.html). In particular it's making fun of how the programme is an upper-middle-class niche, with everyone doing predictable (and dull) professional jobs that seem so interchangeable they may as well be the same.
one of the best shows on tv at the time
I’m Brazilian and I absolutely love British comedy!
Bollocks, exactly how they say it in my family

"Neffa ryous, alley aas, fattal, gwilty.." Reminds me of the time i read bisquit as biskwit.. (English is not my first language, btw))
bisquit as biskwit is kind of cute actually
My son read a book about some bloke called So crates.
philologcally "apostrophe" is the epitome of atypical phonology
lol Al Leeby means "the Libyan" in Arabic, which makes it even funnier for me.
GWILTY!! GWILT! GWILT!!!
Billy Connerly was a very lucky man.
Connolly not Connerly
Leave the gun, take the Connolly.
You say that like he's dead.
Poly Orchid No, he just means he was lucky. He's not lucky anymore.
I used to be a Quantity Surveyor!
+Graham Dean sounds like a gig.
Did you ever work with Ethyl the Aardvark?
Exactly what quantity does a quantity surveyor survey?
@@paperbackonly8438 Drawings to produce tender docs for a construction contract. Yes-I was one as well once upon a time.
Do you know an aardvark called Ethel ?
Do you have the whole episodes?
whats odd is that the way he's pronouncing alibi and alias is very close to how we say it in Norwegian
GroovingPict omazing!
Ball or aerosol?
Neither .......... :D
Is that Sean Lock behind Jimmy Carter?
Bean there...?
the part in court 1:50 is a good illustration of how the Dutch pronounce english :p
It was Ethyl the Aardvark who went Quantity Surveying, don't forget.
1:40, priceless! (And 'Prices' - geddit English peeps?)
Ahh the days of Carter and Thatcher, remember them well. Unfortunately.

It is the original Latin pronunciation, but things have changed since Latin words were adopted into English.
Gwilty !!!!
Early Bean!
When Atko was funny along with the brilliant Blackadder...
I didnt get the quantity surveyors joke?

Simon George Your guess is a very good one.
They were all Quantity Surveyors, which is not normal.
