The ploncker who made this reaction was told this last time he reacted to Al Murrey. Unfortunately, the guy never reads comments, never remembers anything he sees or hears or reads, and it appears he gave all his brain cells to his brother.
He's a posh bloke taking the piss out of the working class essentially. His audience are laughing at what he says, Murray and his Ox-Bridge educated mates are laughing at the idea that thick people exist. Stewart Lee has basically admitted this
This is its own category - "US Americans baffled by people knowing stuff". Always a treat Anyone can learn this stuff just out of interest - no need for schooling.
@carlchapman4053 um, that isn’t connected to the joke at all. Vikings traditionally wore helmets with horns, now they are seen as very promiscuous so have ‘members’ that are upright…..think about it.
The bit he couldnt fathom was the difference between the Viking horned helmet......and given how errrm sexually "liberal" scandinavians are in the modern day the "horny" helmet with the japs eye.
American humour is very different to British humour, as you've discovered by now. Ours is word-based - puns, satire, double entendres, etc. So many of our humourists are very well educated - as are many of our actors. In fact, legends like Monty Python all met at either Oxford or Cambridge - the gateway to both acting and/or comedy, or music (e.g. Brian May, the legendary guitar player of Queen, is an astrophysicist). I've watched so many Americans watching & laughing at Brit humour; but they don't seem to understand the word-play which has us in stitches - and which we consider the main attraction. And yes, as you said, we should be more modest about ourselves. And that's also a big part of Murray's humour. Because the fact is that we ARE modest - for 80 years we've listened to the USA mis-information that they won 2 world wars. And we bite our lips and say nothing, or murmur that yes WWII was "a bit of a mess." But the character Murray plays on-stage is NOT modest, he's bombastic & boastful in a way that we - on the whole - are not. So we shout with laughter - because none of us would be bold enough to act in the same way in public - and deep down, though rather shocked, we're kind of envious that he has the cojones to do it for us.😂
Viking Helmets did not have horns, that's a movie depiction. Many genuine ones have been unearthed and evidence of settlement almost world wide including Newfoundland and the East coast of the US as far down as Florida.
"From horny helmets to horny helmets" is actually cleverer than you think, in Britain if you call someone a helmet you're calling them a moron. So he's saying they went from head gear with horns to idiots looking for sex.
That is brilliant!! He is a history buff, but that's really impressive. You might be intersted to know that, not only does he hold a history degree from Oxford, he cohosts a very popular WW2 history podcast (with James Holland, and, now and agian, US professor, John McManus), called 'We Have Ways of Making You Talk.' He's also published a number of WW2 history books, and made quite a few light-hearted TV history shows (largely revolving around the British Empire). So, yeah, he knows his stuff. Oh, and you won't be surprised to learn he is very much more posh, and well-spoken than the Pub Landlord character, with a background of private education, and Oxford Uni. Although, I believe the booze was real, and he may well have been somewhere left of sober in that sketch (which was part of the schtick of the show), making it all the more impressive - I can barely remember my own birthday after 3 pints, let alone random historical dates 😂
Strange how he uses "we" then, since the only nation to defeat everyone else is Scotland. Which defeated England in all four wars between them. England has never won a major war on its own, unlike Scotland. 🙄
@@Mark-Haddow Scotland beat England in 3 or 4 battles. A battle in itself is not a war. The fact that in those series of battles Scotland was thoroughly beaten out of sight cannot be forgotten.
Don’t even act like u knew half this I was predicted an a in history and I didn’t know a lot of this before watching him u won’t even be introduced too a lot in f this till college
we did not get kicked of north America as the American's think, we left on are own accord, during a party they were throwing in our honour, we left in disgust when we found out how they made tea, the party was held in a place called Boston. India declared independence, India was granted independence. America declared independence, as far as I can find out, America was never granted independence.
British citizens in the 13 colonies became independent from Britain over taxation/representation. It was the British that formed America. The American flag was copied from the flag of the British East India company. The vessel in Boston harbour that day was flying that company flag. The company flag consisted of 13 red/white stripes with the flag canton showing the British union flag. All that was replaced to make the USA flag was the canton. Americans didn't gain independence, British citizens did & only a third living there actually wanted it. An American citizen didn't exist until after the declaration was signed by both parties.
@Paul-hl8yg No, those 13 colonies won their independence, so they were no longer bound by UK laws that prevented the colonisers from attacking the natives and stealing their land. American revisionist claptrap is immediately disproved by the fact the rest of the colonies kept the truce agreements. It's literally why the native Americans fought on the British side, when the UK defeated the USA, in the War of 1812-1815. Which was the USA attempt to reintroduce slavery to north America, by annexation of British Canada.
Al Murray is a genius his knowledge of Britain and everything about it is impeccable, there’s not much he doesn’t know lots of it he picked up making pub quizzes when he still was an actual pub landlord
Al is really smart and well presented. This character he plays is genius. His knowledge of history plays a big part in his comedy. You will love watching everything he does. Very very funny quick witted man
@@scottosborne2915 dude it so slight u wouldn’t be able too do it intentionally plus I swear I saw a clip of him saying in his oldest acts he actually was as it helped with nerves but as he got more used too it he stopped drinking on stage
Al Murray read History at St Edmund Hall, Oxford University. He has a love of history and he did a documentary about WWII 20 years ago called; Road to Berlin.
You're right Al Murray is a historian Oxford educated a very brainy chap. Check out Al Murray what hell is like in different languages also check out how global finances work.❤ x
The British Empire existed because it was cold and wet and damp and cloudy in these islands, so we wanted to go somewhere nice and warm. Just think of the British Empire - Australia, South Africa, the Indian sub-continent, the West Indies: all lovely and sunny. Georgia named after George II, the Carolinas named after Charles I, Virginia named after Elizabeth I, lovely warm places. Then we took a wrong turning and ended up somewhere cold and wet and damp just like England. So what did we call it - New England. Then a bit further up, even colder - we called it Nova Scotia, ie New Scotland. All a terrible mistake.
Al Murry has history degrees from oxford, apart from world history he specialised in military history. and the beer he drinks on stage is Non alcoholic.
The pub landlord is a character created by Al Murray, who is educated as a historian. They used to say that the sun never set on the British Empire because the Empire was so large.
I highly recommend his podcast. He's very funny and extremely intelligent. His father was a military man, so British military history is a particular passion for him
You have to understand that he is playing the part of a pub landlord in his stage act. He read History at Oxford University, and once he became established, he has done actual history programmes alongside his comedy work.
Sweden. One of the few counties the UK has never been to war with alongside Portugal who we have had an alliance with since the 1300s and as a result joined ww1 on our side because of it. Anyway there are about 22 ish countries the Uk has never invaded
What? I'm absolutely certain you didn't check your information. The UK did not exist in the 1300s, and Scotland absolutely hammered the Portuguese/English alliance when they fought alongside France in the much older alliance. Scotland's fourth victory over England. "We," yeah, no!
Al Murray is a historian he has done a documentary on D-Day talking to British 🇬🇧 veterans. He worked with fellow historian James Holland 5 years ago on a project.
Al recently published a book about the allied attempt to take the bridge at Arnhem during WW2. He knows his stuff. Al Murray vs Americans is a good section of his stand up routine.
Al Murray is a very clever guy and full of historical knowledge. His podcast "We Have Ways", all about WW2 history is brilliant. As for him sounding smug, that's just his Pub Landlord persona.
Al Murray is VERY well read in History...his University studies were in History... when on stage with a pint of beer in his hand, then he is in his 'pub landlord' persona .
America is 125th in global literacy and education standards , just behind the desert nomad country of Oman , and has by far the worst education system in the developed world and watching videos like this shows just how normal not knowing things like basic recent world history or where places are in the world is to them.....I grew up on what was the largest housing estate in Europe at the time went to a broken local poor working class comprehensive school and by I was 12 we had learnt the history of America the history of native Americans separately as well as WW1 and WW2 , Roman empire ,Greek , Egyptians, the history of medicine and obviously our own history from neolithic period up to the 80's as standard.
Brit here. If you haven't i would love to see you react to Horrible Histories (its a kids tv show about factual stuff that happened in the past like how romans would have community bathrroms and use a sponges on a stick to wipe any 'business' oh and yes that was shaired too)
Norway was a good shout. During the Viking age, Norse settlers in northern France mingled with western Franks and gave rise to the Normans ("Northmen") who conquered and ruled England from 1066, so maybe that's a Viking victory after all.
In the uk we were taught not just about our country but of others but in America your just taught about how great you are and your number one with our understanding
al murray vs americans, and al murray vs the world need to be seen,, and as said he was a oxford university history major ,, music may have been his minor degree
Great video once again! ❤🎉 Not sure if u have seen this amazing piece of British history but you should definitely react to a video on the trafalgar war! (If you already have sorry)
To my fellow Brits, does he still do comedy? You mainly see documentaries from him now. Hey glad you enjoyed the video! Sending well wishes from across the pong
For Canada I would have gone with the Seven Years War, as the French colonials here were already called Canadians, and that is when it was captured. Note, General Wolfe and the Plains of Abraham are a famous part of our origin story. Worth checking out (unless I just happened to miss/forget the episode where you did).
Al Murray is an Oxford educated historian.

There are only about 190 countries. He has a top degree from THE TOP UNI in the World. A history degree which is a toughy!
"The pub landlord" is a character. Al himself is really smart
And he actually likes Germany.
@@bernmahan1162 I wouldn't go that far 😂

He is interested now tho isn't he..
He also does history documentaries, mostly WW2 in Europe. Very clever man and not drunk, alcohol free beer.
😂I always assumed it was something like apple juice or food coloured water...
Alcohol free beer never occurred to me 😂
He definitely drinking actual beer in some clips because in a few he’s slurring his words
Slurring his words …errrr that’s called acting !!!!
He does like to give the impression of drinking.
@@Reba-123 dude needs a Oscar then as that was better fake drunk then any actor on the planet
Burkina Faso is one of them countries, outside of the United States.
Al Murray didn't mess up there... 'horny helmets'?... Come on bud, think dirty. Lol.
It may help him if he knows that Helmut/Helmuth is a North European name.
I’m he just explained best I can to him haha. 😛 think horny helmets maybe more British related so that went over his head
@carlchapman4053 um, that isn’t connected to the joke at all. Vikings traditionally wore helmets with horns, now they are seen as very promiscuous so have ‘members’ that are upright…..think about it.
The bit he couldnt fathom was the difference between the Viking horned helmet......and given how errrm sexually "liberal" scandinavians are in the modern day the "horny" helmet with the japs eye.

"Global finance" by Al Murray is a must reaction to.
Just said same. I second this
Al Murry is a History Professor. His comedy persona is a Pub landlord. Burkino Faso is a country in Africa. There are 2 sorts of 'Horny Helmets'.
Not a professor, no. Just a graduate.
He is not a history "professor." He read Modern History at Oxford. It takes a lot more than a degree to be a professor in the UK!
@rocketrabble6737 it takes a phd
Viking Helmets did not have horns, that's a movie depiction. Many genuine ones have been unearthed and evidence of settlement almost world wide including Newfoundland and the East coast of the US as far down as Florida.
Ouagadougou is the capital of Burkina Faso - looks and sounds funnny.
He's playing the part of a "know it all" pub landlord.
He probably is a little bit of a know it all irl as he has a degree from Oxford university you kinda deserve too flex a little
"From horny helmets to horny helmets" is actually cleverer than you think, in Britain if you call someone a helmet you're calling them a moron. So he's saying they went from head gear with horns to idiots looking for sex.
Actually, a helmet is a common euphemism for the very end of an uncircumcised member……….
😂
@@TylerRumple actually I can’t agree with his assessment, see my comments elsewhere.
i always thought it was a dick joke, since some people call the head of the penis a helmet,
Surely he's referring to the glans of the penis and the Scandanavian porn industry stereotype?
