That opening scene was such a great parody of the real, frightening, voice-over anti-piracy bits that were on every VHS tape or DVD... at least in UK, Ireland anyhow. And on the DVD you couldn't even fast forward past it.
Yeah was so annoying. You could forward it on downloaded copies though :P so basically they were like a punishment for people who actually paid money for the real DVDs. Just encouraged people to download more just to not have to watch it
You didn't react when Moss said, "He's a fine young cannibal", so, in case nobody's pointed it out yet, there was a British rock band formed in 1984, called "The Fine Young Cannibals."
There was a real German guy called Armin Meiwes who advertised for someone to come and be eaten. A guy answered the add, and was duly killed. Armin was (oddly enough_) a computer repair technician. The German Metal band Rammstein did a song about it, and on stage one band member (the keyboard player ) gets in a giant couldron while the singer blasts it with a flame thrower. Great stuff to watch.
I think that story gripped the national so completely, that ever since then weve associated cannibals with Germans which really isnt fair, but it is funny too
He cooked the guys severed penis, if I remember right he described it as very chewy. I'm sure he could cook but when it comes to cannibalism he was an amateur. If only he was as satisfied with tinned spaghetti as I am, no skill required.
The guy at 33:00 has been in a few things. He was in a great comedy called Phone Shop and you may recall him as the Inbetweeners bar man who served Will when he bought "3 ciders and 3 carveries"
i bloody love Johan you genuinely end up feeling so sad for him as well which makes the humour even darker and more hilarious. and in the end credits the actor who plays Johan is actually playing the Cello and the man shouting in the Audience is Graham Linehan.
Now I know I've been watching too much British TV, because I somehow got the "Fine Young Cannibals" joke immediately, despite having no idea who that band is 😂
@@1Pandemoonium OMG, I absolutely know that song! I don't think I ever knew who sang it, though. But maybe I've heard their name in relation to the song at some point; keep in mind I was born in 1990, so my memories of that song come from very early in my life, and from it being used in soundtracks where I wouldn't know the artist anyway 😅
Richard Ayoade is such a funny guy, anything with him is worth seeing. His "real" personality is probably as socially awkward as Moss, but more knowing and dryly witty. He presented a travel show called Travel Man, where he went on city breaks with other comedians and actors, which is great. The chemistry with some of them is fantastic - my favourite was the amazing Bob Mortimer, who he visited Hamburg with.
@@edwardbevington9351 I've never watched his Crystal Maze, do I need to? I'm not too bothered about the actual show, but I guess it often isn't really about that, as per the various comedy "game shows"
I think when this was aired the ban on smoking indoors had just come into effect in England that same year, so the joke was very fresh for a ton of people. My dad remembers the week it was implemented seeing a group in a pub chatting, one of them gets out a packet and the rest instantly notice and don't say a thing, she gets until the moment she's about to light up before realising and then running out to smoke while the rest giggle.
Richard Ayoade is also in Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, a very surreal but hilarious sitcom. Matt Berry who plays Douglas Renholm is also in it. well worth checking out.
"There's somebody at the door, ting tong ping pong, there's somebody at the door!" ~ I love that you took the 'It's tinging it's way up the tube' tune from The Ricky Gervais Show hahaha!
The policeman at the end was in After Life and also was the first barman in episode one of the Inbetweeners who served Jay but not Will (where there was a plot flaw because Will didn't need to get the other man in the pub to order food and alcohol for them because Jay could have done it as he was accepted as being an adult).
31:10 The only think I can think of that you've seen him in would have been The Inbetweeners, he was the guy who wouldn't serve them when Jay had the fake Australian drivers license, he kept going back and forth with will going "3 pints of larger, please", "ID, please". He's been in quite a few things though, biggest role was probably in Phone Shop, which is well worth a watch! (it also has Simon's dad as one of the main characters).
It's really cool, I actually went to see this episode being recorded. I'm part of the laughter you're hearing! It was slightly odd for us all because we'd no idea Douglas had taken over the company and he just turns up at the start of the show.
Seeing as you've mentioned 'After Life', and are watching and reacting to Plebs... have you noticed yet that the guy who plays Aurelius, the Water-boy/Water-man in Plebs, is the same guy who plays Ricky Gervais' character's depressed brother-in-law and boss in After Life?
One of the best ones...and don't be scared of helicopters. Be terrified of cars, buses, bikes, planes, hovercrafts, etc. And I love that the man plays the theme of the show on the cello at the end! Such a fine young cannibal...
"There's somebody at the door", is from a kids show called the Pink Windmill in the early 1980s with Rod Hull & Emu & Grotbags the witch & i still do it & i'm 52!😅
I love the way Graham Linehan, when he makes a joke, he really runs with it. The whole soviet thing could be a passing gag but he takes it right to end!
If you guys want more Richard Ayoade (moss) in a real life setting, you should check out Travel Man. They have a channel here on RUclips, it's basically a travel show where he goes around with british celebrities in foreign cities. They even did a few 'IT Crowd; specials where he's with the rest of the cast.
When I worked at a restaurant I always went outside with the smokers. It wasn't fair that they had extra breaks! So I guess I was a second-hand smoker...
It's kinda funny to say "Not to promote a Dave Chappelle joke, but..." on a reaction to a show created by Graham Linehan. Disclaimer: It's totally fine to like and reference Graham and Dave's respective works, in spite of their controversial views/statements (and on balance Chappelle is much less fucked in the head than Linehan in my opinion)
Always love watching the 2 sorry 3 of you 😊 but very rarely comment. Richard Ayoade has a TV series called ' Travel Man' which is basically him travelling to different parts of the world with his famous friends - one show is with Chris O'Dowd ,Noel Fielding too others include many people you'll recognise from mostly British TV shows. No idea about copyright but it was originally commissioned by Channel 4 I think you'll understand what Richard is all about after watching a few of these. He's very precise in how things should be done etc. Take good care of yourselves 😊
That may well be Matt Berry (Douglas) doing the video warning voice over at the beginning as he is an accomplished voiceover artist - a profession he sent up in the excellently silly "Toast of London" series (one for your list).
I second Toast Of London. I think the voiceover actor was Peter Serafinowicz. He also played the voice of the lift in episode 1 that says "Get out of the lift".
Speaking of Afterlife, KB, Im not sure of you realised this but Tom Basden - Waterboy(man) from Plebs is the Newspaper boss and brother in law of Tony in that show too.
MATT BERRY, DOUGLAS RENHOLM, IS HILARIOUS IN "WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS" AS HORNY VAMPIRE, HIS HORNY WIFE, TWO ROOMIES AND FAMILIAR... FUNNIEST COMEDY ON TV NOW...GOING INTO 6TH SEASON.😄😃😂😅😂😄😃😂😅😜😜😜
My dad quit smoking when he and my mom were visiting her relatives and they made him go outside to smoke (it was the 80s, smoking indoors was still somewhat common), and it was a horrible weather.
I think I remember you saying you loved Father Ted. Not sure if you know but the same guy who wrote Father Ted also wrote the IT Crowd too. Maybe you can see some comedy similarity now (if you haven't already found out that is). He's incredible.
Andrew Brooke (the cop) is indeed in After life. He's also in the Inbeteeners as the barman in the first episode. He has a small role in the Tom Cruise movie The Mummy amongst other things. He's best known for his role in PhoneShop, where he is one of the main characters. It's made by the same company as the IT Crowd and Father Ted and is equally bonkers. It is set and recorded in the corner of London I lived in for ten years. It captures perfectly, the multi ethnic, "street" culture which pervades that part of town. It's hilarious, I love it.
@@scipioafricanus5871 Ratty, as KB said, he's bald (shaven headed) in the pub. Hang on I'll try to find the episode details.... He's definately in season 2 episode 3 but I can see he has credits in two other episodes as well. Oh hang on, season 3 episodes 3 and 6. I've only watched a few odd episodes in season 1 and 2. Must binge the full thing one day.
@@stingersplash I think having lived there, I could get beyond the first episode. Like so many of these shows, as it went on and the 2d charicatures fleshed out, it became more relatable and funny. It's all subjective. One man's Dad's Army is another man's Q.

Whenever somebody knocks on our door, I walk to the door the way Douglas does. I’ve been doing it for about 7 years and my wife asked why I did it about a month ago.
Totally bonkers . The misery and camaraderie of the smoking area , and the anticipation , when a film was released on vhs , and the consenting cannibal -very much of its time but outrageously funny .
Check out Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Ayoade is great in that. He's playing a character kind of like Douglas Reynholm. And the actor Matt Berry, who plays Douglas, is there also and he's excellent in it!
There is a widely known myth in the UK that it is legal for a pregnant woman to relieve herself anywhere she likes including in a policemans helmet which was originally made from Cork and would I guess therefore be waterproof, which is i think where the bit about going to the toilet in a Policemans helmet originated from.
Ricky gervais has mastered the Shakespearean traight of balancing comedy with tragedy, Derek, extras, afterlife, the office, it's all bittersweet, such deep, relatable characters that resonate. Genius

When are you guys going to start reacting to Absolutely Fabulous? There's some great physical comedy and classic one liners on that show. The "Death" episode is a particular favourite. In fact all of series 2. Would LOVE seeing you both react to that!
With the German jokes, they say if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em, well for many years it was also - if you do beat ‘em take the piss out of ‘em at every available opportunity. Whilst they unmercifully punish you at football.
That opening scene was such a great parody of the real, frightening, voice-over anti-piracy bits that were on every VHS tape or DVD... at least in UK, Ireland anyhow. And on the DVD you couldn't even fast forward past it.

Named after the 1960 film, "All the Fine Young Cannibals".

Meiwes is now a vegetarian, who tries to help people with violent sexual fantasies get help and not go down the same path he did
He cooked the guys severed penis, if I remember right he described it as very chewy. I'm sure he could cook but when it comes to cannibalism he was an amateur. If only he was as satisfied with tinned spaghetti as I am, no skill required.

When are you guys going to start reacting to Absolutely Fabulous? There's some great physical comedy and classic one liners on that show. The "Death" episode is a particular favourite. In fact all of series 2. Would LOVE seeing you both react to that!
Moss "Fine Young Cannibals" ref is a pop rock band from back in the 80's. 😂❤Reaction 👍🏼
That police officer was the barman on the Inbetweeners asking for I.D.
He was the barman in the first episode of the inbetweeners 32:40
Pretty sure that detective was the landlord from Inbetweeners, when Will has to order a carvery to get served alcohol
The next episode is the BEST!
With the German jokes, they say if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em, well for many years it was also - if you do beat ‘em take the piss out of ‘em at every available opportunity. Whilst they unmercifully punish you at football.
Police Detective Was Main Character In “Phoneshop” Another Quality Show You Need To React Too 👌👍
