I give you a soft pass since you were a bit sick. Loved the Paddington ( Haha , Google can not spell this name properly either ... mind you it can not spell Haha either, insert philosophical point here ) Bear reference too. One of my childhood favorites. Fortunately H/weird did not manage to Snafu those movies completely.
Al Murray is playing his 'alter ego' - The Pub Landlord, a stereotype of the sort of character found in pubs, especially in the East End of London, who holds strong views with conviction - even if they are wrong, and will impart his 'knowledge' to all and sundry, whether they want to hear it or not! As others have mentioned, he is an extremely intelligent guy, with a History degree from Oxford, he was a History teacher before moving into comedy - and has made several documentaries relating to WW2. You will enjoy any of his work on here, trust me! 😊
I saw him live in Plymouth a few years ago. However, after hearing his comment about Plymouth….. I heartily agree 😁. And Cornwall being cornish for Cousin’s Wedding 😂😂😂
One thing I love about his style of humour is the level of intelligence behind it. He is a self confessed history fanatic. Cracks me up every time I watch him.
If I am not mistaken Al Murray is half Austrian so he speaks German and has told many linguistic and musical based jokes about the German language. Might be worth a watch
I saw this show in Brighton, UK, fantastic ! Pint of Beer for the Gentlemen, Fruit-based drink for the Ladies... And as Al, The Pub Landlord says, Always, Bring Your Glasses Back To The Bar. Seriously ! The bar staff will love you !
Even when I was a kid I thought it was slightly odd that Paddington bear didn't speak Spanish. ;-) Glad you enjoyed this one Megan, it's a really clever piece of observational comedy parodying some English people's attitudes to other countries. Hope you are feeling much better very soon anyway.
Megan - your laugh is infectious!! I'm English and Al Murray is just one of those comedians that will always make me laugh out loud. His comedy is based on history and just how knowledgeable he is on the subject.
Hiya Megan. I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while now, but I rarely get notifications. You're the first overseas reactor that has understood the 'Peru and Paddington bear' connection. Probably because your reaction is only a few days old, and Al did this years ago. Every other reactor didn't get it. But now the film's been made foreign reactors will get it. I'm English BTW. So glad this cheered you up. I watch many (mostly North American reactors) react to Al Murray. And I have to say, even when I'm feeling down, these reaction vids cheer me up, because even though I know the skits by heart, I love watching and laughing along with people who appreciate British humour...... Especially when they get how we take the piss out of the U.S. and France. But we don't mean anything bad about it. It's just how you'd say it's a term of endearment. Most people don't understand that about British humour. We literally take the piss out of ourselves and friends as a way of showing we like them. If people in our circles don't take the piss, it's like they don't like us. That's why comedians like Ricky Gervais are legends in the UK. And the Scottish/English thing is exactly that. Most respect each other. But there's always going to be hateful outlyers. Although (my colonial cousin lol) I think it's fine to point out that Trudeau is an A Hole 😂😂😂 And most Canadians would agree. He's ruining your great nation.... Ehhhh 😂
Some points may be lost on you. Mongolia - Mongol was an un-PC term used for Down Syndrome years ago. Indian call centres (118 phone numbers) used to be mainly operated in Newcastle (Geordies) due to their friendly accents. Christmas Island - Wizard is a 70s glam rock band who had a massive hit with "I wish it could be Christmas everyday", re-released every year since. Galapagos - the native wildlife there helped Charles Darwin come up with his theory of evolution.
i watched a lot of reactions to this one, and youre the only one who got the westlife reference! and the bannockburn reference as well!! very rare indeed great stuff
hi megan, i think you reacted to this video, just at the right time, being here for the time you have, and happy to have you, its given you times to learn the british culture, humour through your videos and reactions, because of your time here, you were able to grasp at least 90 percent of the jokes and reffrences, as well as knowing what alis about, great job,
Are you better yet? I hope so. A good laugh gets rid of ill feeling. I just subscribed to you as i loved your reaction. I have probably watched people react to this nigh on a hundred times and your reaction was definitely up there!
Surprised he didn’t say that they’d made a mistake with Australia. They should have left the convicts back in England and moved there themselves. Beautiful weather, plenty of room and all the mineral wealth untouched for exploitation. And no French next door.
The joke he tells about India and 118, is because many help lines that are accessed by 118118 - a replacement to The Yellow Pages (commercial telephone directory), where most telephone helplines are manned in India, with youngsters with degrees who obviously ofyen speak with an uninteligable Indian accent. English jobs - say Jordies, from the north east of England where some in this gig are apparently from - have gone out of The UK to India. As a tangent there is a nice piece in the film, 'The Best Marigold Hotel' where one of our British treasures, Judi Dench, plays a character who takes on training India call centre staff, as she is too bored in her retirement at The Best Marigold Hotel - a great film if you have not yet seen it, a drama, rom-com, chick flick.
Hiya Megan, when you listen to Al Murray in real life he's really posh, I think he went to Oxford University, I've watched this vlog a few times and enjoy it everytime.
Thanks Megan. Would you react to the animated Ricky Gervais show. Theres over 30 episodes, you could do an episode every week or so. Channels that have reacted to the series have attracted loads of new subscribers. Just a thought. 😁
@@MeganRuth You should ... From memory, in the first episode the bar maid comes across as a strong female . And while he comes across as brash , in typical Brit style he seems to be making fun at his own expense half the time. ... hmmm, time to watch it again.
It's funny how that works, the thing about laughing the hardest about the stuff that relates to you. I'm Danish and I always laugh the hardest when he makes the off-the-cuff remark about the Germans and the Danes not liking each other. Very much not the case anymore, but because he's a historian, he knows about WWII, Napoleon, the 30-Years War, The Hanseatic League, etc, and I think that's why he also laughed at that joke himself.
Lovely megan loved the reaction. Hope you feel better soon. You said you were slow in realising the joke about Paddington bear. Most people who react don't get it at all. But you are better, much better than them❤❤
If you Google it you can see our late Queen Elizabeth doing a skit with Paddington Bear for charity. Also Google the Qieen and James Bond 007, again another skit - what a commitment and sense of humour... they asked the Queen if they could use her character to film these comedy skits and she wanted to take part, which was not the original plan :-)
What really tickled me was the Westlife joke and he sings "I believe I can fly" which wasn't even a Westlife song, it was that other guy we don't say his name anymore 😂
Megan. Al Murray is an incredibly clever man. Degrees from Oxford, history documentary filmmaker and can be found doing Shakespearean acting in London. An incredible man. Try the videos about who Britain has defeated.
Megan laughter is always the best cure , the perfect time to stay snuggled up in bed with a cuppa hot chocolate & comedy on youtube . This is what i'm doing as i too feel hellish . I'm gonna cheer myself up with some Carry On Movies , starting with Carry On Cleo (full movies available of yt) .
Found who you were talking about: Tyler Warwick, a New Zealander who mocks the Aussie accent in song form… of all the possible countries in the world with a laughable accent, it had to be a bloody kiwi doing this.
Please get well soon. You are needed. Songs in different accents is a very good tip. Regularly take a good dose of Australian humour. I'd definitely punch a shark. And sometimes, we're all filthy ;-)
If you want to hear actual songs by actual Australians, in actual Australian accents, I'd recommend Redgum's "I was only 19," and Frente's "Accidentally Kelly Street."
I had the opportunity to punch a rhinoceros at Chester Zoo, naturally I took it (my wife will vouch for the insanity), and let me tell you it was like punching concrete, the rhino didn't flinch. Fortunately at the age of twenty five my knuckles rapidly recovered; thanks for your concern.
Al is a highly respected historian and his knowledge of the Second World War is as good as it gets. But he’s very funny as his “ gammon” alter ego the pub landlord.
The way Britain got the GMT line was a concession by France (and the rest of the Europe) to give them that if everyone adopted the Metric system (which the French came up with). Britain took the bait (and only partly adopted the metric system).
That's an interesting claim - presumably you have some evidence of it that isn't just a fantasy? British naval charts used the Greenwich meridian for centuries and were almost universally used. Everyone used the same zero line, all that was ever agreed with france was that they would stop winging about it and stop using paris time (25 minutes from GMT if memory serves) because they were the only nation in the world NOT on GMT+X hours. No deal was ever done with ANYONE in which Britain promised to adopt SI, we have used SI since the 1940s for science and have taught it in schools since the 1960s. YOU ARE SIMPLY WRONG.
A healthy slagging is supposed to spur you to pull your socks up ,smarten up and get back in the game, not reduce you to tears, stop being so sensitive about everything.Live and let die, all those other people in the world have made choices for themselves and they can change their own Countries if they want to. There is nothing People can't achieve.
Megan's over reaction as soon as a dog is mentioned was a cliche response. I hit the top of of a dogs nose once (you asked why would you punch a dog). The context being he was one of six all rounding on me whilst the (stupid) owner was doing nothing to control them - business appointment pre-agreed. There are more nesting dodos than sensible dog owners.
This is narcissistic behaviour, why are you, showing a bigger picture of yourself, than the comedian. It should be the other way round he is the star not you, women love the attention
This is the first time I've seen someone understand the Paddington Bear reference. Well done Megan Ruth😂
Could see it coming a mile off, as soon as peru was mentioned

Al Murray is one of my favourite comedians. It’s all character based and I love it. I even went to see him live at the Albert Hall in 2016.😊
That’s awesome! 😊
@MeganRuth I don't remember much about it but I think it went okay mostly. Not as good as his previous shows I've seen on DVD but it was okay.
I saw him live in Plymouth a few years ago. However, after hearing his comment about Plymouth….. I heartily agree 😁. And Cornwall being cornish for Cousin’s Wedding 😂😂😂
One thing I love about his style of humour is the level of intelligence behind it. He is a self confessed history fanatic.
Cracks me up every time I watch him.
When he was talking about Paddington I was literally thinking any second now and Megan will realise what hes talking about😂
😂it took me a second but I finally got there in the end!
We all were 😊
As someone reading this comment while only a few seconds in I'm now gripped with anticipation
If I am not mistaken Al Murray is half Austrian so he speaks German and has told many linguistic and musical based jokes about the German language. Might be worth a watch
@@adamvenus6382 Do you know how many times Al Murray has tried to learn German? "NEIN!" 😉😆
Try Al versus the Americans Megan. As a Canadian you’ll enjoy it !!!

Thank you!! 😊
i watched a lot of reactions to this one, and youre the only one who got the westlife reference! and the bannockburn reference as well!! very rare indeed great stuff

Thank you! 😊
They say "Laughter is the best medicine"...Unless you're Diabetic, then Insulin works best 🙂
Get well soon Megan
I knew you would like the Canada joke 😂
Hello & Good morning Megan!! Hope you get better soon & another funny British comedian here! 😂👍🇬🇧
Thanks Falcom! 😊
Are you better yet? I hope so. A good laugh gets rid of ill feeling. I just subscribed to you as i loved your reaction. I have probably watched people react to this nigh on a hundred times and your reaction was definitely up there!
I am thank you! Thanks for the support! 😊
Love watching you megan..you don't always get it that's good. Your my "the girl next door "❤
Wishing you all the best. first time watching your channel,subscribed all the very best, Rab from Scotland
Surprised he didn’t say that they’d made a mistake with Australia. They should have left the convicts back in England and moved there themselves. Beautiful weather, plenty of room and all the mineral wealth untouched for exploitation. And no French next door.
You've sold it to me with the France comment. Can't get further away before you start getting closer again.
Al is brilliant. He has a history degree & presents history documentaries on TV too.
The joke he tells about India and 118, is because many help lines that are accessed by 118118 - a replacement to The Yellow Pages (commercial telephone directory), where most telephone helplines are manned in India, with youngsters with degrees who obviously ofyen speak with an uninteligable Indian accent.

HOW GLOBAL FINANCE WORKS BY AL. YOU WILL LOVE IT 😊😊
Thanks Megan. Would you react to the animated Ricky Gervais show. Theres over 30 episodes, you could do an episode every week or so. Channels that have reacted to the series have attracted loads of new subscribers. Just a thought. 😁
To animate a radio show for tv was genius itself one of the funniest things ive watched.
I just love her reactions. Megan is a Goddess
He's a very clever guy when it comes to geography
Al Murray also did a comedy tv show call time gentalmen please. You should check out it's funny.
Thanks for the suggestion! 😊
@@MeganRuth You should ... From memory, in the first episode the bar maid comes across as a strong female . And while he comes across as brash , in typical Brit style he seems to be making fun at his own expense half the time. ... hmmm, time to watch it again.

Megan you still look Beautiful even when you are not feeling well.
Lovely megan loved the reaction. Hope you feel better soon.
You said you were slow in realising the joke about Paddington bear. Most people who react don't get it at all. But you are better, much better than them❤❤

British born Canadian my Canadian wife really liked Al
THE Pub Landlord!
"Coming over 'ere, eating our Marmalade sandwiches"!
Bit late to it. Hope you feel better now. And thanks for cheering a welshman up
You still look beautiful and your content is great. Im sure you will feel better by now. :)

Good work ❤❤ from 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Even the audience kind of missed 'I have infinite respect for the Irish, up to a point' lol
No they didn't miss it.
Oh you are familiar with paddington bear. 🙂
Wow what a reaction.
Hope you feel well soon
Not only is she beautiful her laugh just cracks me up. Megan is a Goddess and her Man is very lucky indeed!
Thought the same thing about a guy wanting to punch a dog, i couldn't think of a single animal I would want to.

Hilarious! Hope you are feeling better by now.... 🙂 x
The people in this part of Canada are absolutely convinced...that they're French ! 🤣
Similar to the Americans ( USA ) that claim to be Italians or Irish ... or African with a drop of the relevant blood?
....or re imagine the Star Trek intro in a broad Birmingham accent!! 🙂
Brad Pitt pikey would be interesting!
Kerry accent would be fucking hilarious
@@thequietman760 Is that Irish? I'm only asking because I know of Derry.
@@PUNKinDRUBLIC72 yes west coast of Ireland, it's a real thic and fast spoken Irish accent.
Megan ❤ x
The Tropic of Cancer joke hits different when you find out what happened to his nephew Finley
Hope you’re feeling better now
Please get well soon. You are needed. Songs in different accents is a very good tip. Regularly take a good dose of Australian humour. I'd definitely punch a shark. And sometimes, we're all filthy ;-)
Not famiiar with this artist but just a note to wish you a speedy recovery. Never lose that endearing sense of humour.
Thank you! 😊

Have you seen AL explaining money?
Next should be Al's "how global finance really works", looking pretty sweetheart
you should watch his full shows, the one you watched was taken from it.
Your laugh ❤
If you want to hear actual songs by actual Australians, in actual Australian accents, I'd recommend Redgum's "I was only 19," and Frente's "Accidentally Kelly Street."
Great reaction Megan (cant go wrong with a bit of Al Murray) and you not feeling the best......... Take care wishing well soon
If you can't see a reason why anyone would ever punch a dog, you've never been attacked by a dog. Good for you.
am sorry you have not been feeling well.hope its not that dreadful covid.
Bizarre way he was clutching that inflatable globe like Rod Hull clutching Emu. A normal globe would've been better
I'm not going to comment about Al Murray, but all I will say is, Get Well Soon Megan. X

He's a snob who's an obnoxious champagne socialist.

Great show! But he skipped Scaninavia and the Benelux... if only English tourists would do the same 😏
Sending get well kisses. xx
😂 classic 🎉
Thank you for posting this. You are great, as was Al Murray.
Hey ❤❤
You just didn't get the "German punching a Great Dane" joke, did you?
The way Britain got the GMT line was a concession by France (and the rest of the Europe) to give them that if everyone adopted the Metric system (which the French came up with).
Britain took the bait (and only partly adopted the metric system).
The original basis of the Metric system was a British idea. The French codified it.
That's an interesting claim - presumably you have some evidence of it that isn't just a fantasy?
British naval charts used the Greenwich meridian for centuries and were almost universally used. Everyone used the same zero line, all that was ever agreed with france was that they would stop winging about it and stop using paris time (25 minutes from GMT if memory serves) because they were the only nation in the world NOT on GMT+X hours. No deal was ever done with ANYONE in which Britain promised to adopt SI, we have used SI since the 1940s for science and have taught it in schools since the 1960s. YOU ARE SIMPLY WRONG.
