You couldnt decide whether you wanted rugby or football so mixed them together and called it "gaelic". Then you go on about how much you hate us but still support man united over shamrock rovers
Love how we Brits & Irish thrive on taking the mick out of each other, if you lose your sense of humour and ability to not be offended, you're in a good place ❤
The bit about Peruvians treating bears badly is a reference to a famous children's book, 'Paddington Bear'. Basically a Peruvian bear cub is found alone at Paddington train station wearing a hat and a duffel coat and carrying a suitcase. He has an evacuee note hanging around his neck (like they did with children during the war), which reads: "Please look after this bear". A family take him in and call him Paddington because of finding him at that train station. Oh and his favourite food is marmalade sandwiches, which is why Al Murray said "Coming over here, eating our marmalade sandwiches..."
Michael Bentine ( The Goons / Potty Time) was Peruvian - his father was in the Peruvian Navy I think) in WW2 he wanted to fly in the RAF, but the British were not sure which side Peru was on, and I think he did two years on farm duty while they worked out they were on ours and he could undertake a military duty.
Now that is how to put a History Degree from Oxford to good use. All came out of improvising a character made up to compere at Fringe Festival. Love Al Murray
I've lived in the US and it's good to see a couple of nice American lads who you'd happily drink with using the internet for its intended purpose, finding odd things and laughing.
Absolutely, it's all just a joke. Unfortunately a minority of people just look for a chance to be offended over nothing. Life is too short. Live life and laugh.
Fight on their beaches - trying in a WWII Churchill reference, historical fight with Spain, the armada and holidaymakers going to Spain getting drunk and scrapping
In the UK back in the late 60,s to mid 70,s the Wombles was a kids tv show, They where like hedgehog but with fur not spikes and walked on 2 leg collecting and recycling things that the every day folk leave behind ,The uncle was called Great Uncle Bulgaria so that is why he said womble when he pointed at Bulgaria. They even got the song for the wombles in the top 40 music charts back then as well lol.
Enjoyed watching you guys enjoy this, I’m an Irishman, lived in England for a number of years and now living in Ohio. And Al Murray plays the charismatic, belligerent, inherently rascist, overly patriotic English Pub landlord character perfectly. He’s hilarious.
118 India, brilliant, the directory enquiries number 118 was outsourced by British Telecom to India because it was cheaper than having a call centre in Newcastle where the people are referred to as Geordies.
The important point to grab about Al Murray is that the entire Pub Landlord act is 'ironic' and we are actually laughing at ourselves - which is not a natural humour to the Americans who prefer their humour to be more direct. I can see it's the irony here that they struggle with, but it's still great to see they find it funny.
The pub landlord is amazing, he can say what he likes, but it's not Al Murray speaking, it's the pub landlord..... The best thing in his shows is the first half hour when he chats to the audience, and gets to know them and mentions them throughout the act as you kind of saw in this video (that he was chatting to people and already knew they're names, jobs nationality etc)., but that first half hour is improvised genius, and necessary as he brings them back into the show
I'm Ireland born, bred & buttered. While the famine is still a sore subject to a lot of people we're mostly good sports and we love a good joke. And sure Al is great craic.
@@user-ze8yy8jg1f of course you're good at your own sports that's like am american saying they're the best at baseball. As of recently you've become better at rugby
I always find it funny when people don’t realize (mainly online) that the pub landlord is a character, and they think that the pub landlord is just Al Murray, if that makes sense. Hes one of the smartest people going, his podcast with James Holland is amazing. I didn’t know until recently that he went to Oxford too, which doesn’t surprise me at all.
I loved the way Ludwig the German walked straight into the trap with the Danes! Germany was actually formed in 1871 and they immediately took half of Denmark and marched into Paris. Two world wars didn't come as a surprise!
With the Philippines, he was talking about mail order brides lol. And the RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,they rescue abandoned and mistreated/abused animals
I love Al Murray but the thing about him is, although playing a character, it’s not usual for us to be as patriotic as other countries and is probably more uncomfortable for us at times than you. Our comedy and comedians are in general self deprecating and it’s costomery for us to take the p out of ourselves rather than blow our own trumpets. This IMO makes him unique to us whereas his knowledge is what others focus on
He's taking the piss out of little Englanders. He's mentioning all the troupes that English people bang on about, because they can't stand being irrelevant. I'm English, I'm not being racist. It's full of English exceptionalism. But it's taking the piss of all that. Having said that, I love him, because it's actually very clever comedy.
@@danellis-jones1591 oh absolutely. All the lazy stereotypes. The funny thing is, the people he’s taking the piss out of don’t get it. They laugh along with him. It’s a bit like the old Alf Garnett character. It was created to poke fun at the far right Oswald Mosley crew but they all think he’s a literal person who thinks like them
The Peru and bear joke is Paddington bear. A well know children's book in the UK. He arrived on a train from Peru at Paddington Station in a coate, hat, suitcase and note. There was a film made too.

You should watch the Top 5 Tanks video he did for The Tank Museum (Bovington)'s channel. He also did a TV miniseries about WW2 following the advance of British forces after D-Day, driving a Jeep.
walking on eggshells requires a fine line of comedy, mostly that ages very badly, Al's delivery and references kept this going with a delivery flow that raced along! Great video and my first time seeing this one of Al's!
It may seem a strange thing to say but people from Ireland quite like Al Murray due to the fact that Irish people have one of the most amazing senses of humour on earth. It wouldn't surprise me if the Irish are ground zero for the gene responsible for humour.
You should watch a full Al Murray show (probably not react, they’re around an hour long) as it’s amazing how he picks out certain audience members and remembers stuff about them and keeps going back to it. For example in this one you had Ludwig the German, Andrew, who I think is gay (it was a different time, this was filmed around the turn of the century, I think) and others. He’s so smart
Itll be at earliest 2002 with his Bush junior comment possibly just before the Iraq invasion in March 2003 (only because it wasn't mentioned). Oh and ye Andrew. Of course this wouldnt fly without backlash nowadays but Al was making a paedo joke on him. Cant remember if his sexuality was mentioned, been a while since i saw the whole thing but it was because of how he looked not the way he is. Gotta remember people didnt give a shit what or who you were back then
Andrew never mentioned his sexuality, Al based that entirely off the fact he called himself "Andrew" and not "Andy". One of Al's shticks is that he's a closet homosexual, which is why he keeps saying stuff like "you've definitely thought about it" and "I was never confused!"
Nope, its just a joke about filipino women being sold as wives to middle aged men in the UK (I actually worked with such a lass, she was well educated in finance and was devoted to her (not so old) husband , of course the Phillipines were well known to the americans, again military personnel did take local brides.
Just started watching you guys. Love your openness. The Phillippines bit is about UK guys doing mail order brides, anecdotally maybe but I know one guy who bought a Thai bride for sure
Im sure you know now but just in case; The 'your boss' comment was about Bush Junior as he jokes saying afterwards 'axel of elvis whats he on about' references Bush's Axis of Evil comment, first used in early 2002 to talk about Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Much love to you both from Yorkshire, North England. Newly subbed. 14:25 That was because we were in the EU then and i believe those countries had just properly joined a few years earlier. Due to free movement in the EU we had a massive influx of eastern europeans in the early 2000's
You guys really should listen tot he clip where he describes "Hell" in different languages to show how it changes. Comic genius. Great channel keep it up!
15:30 he is speaking about the international date line on a map, its play on word(s) of an international date line you could call to meet a foreign woman for a date.
118-dia. Was because many call centres at the time used phone numbers starting with 1-1-8 and MANY call centres handled their calls in India with thousands of incomprehensible staff dealing with enquiries badly.
You've completely missed the pop-culture reference and point of the whole Peruvian rant.... a series of beloved children's books about a Bear cub who's found and adopted by a nice family called Brown, he's come from deepest darkest Peru, and has arrived at Paddington Station with a tag around his neck stating "Please look after this Bear", and a battered hat. The Brown's name him after the station, and his favourite food is Marmalade Sandwiches... the books have been adapted a couple of times into TV series, and so far two films... The adventures of Paddington.
My pal, Al Murray is a genius, anyone who's ever been to one of his gigs will know how he can remember the whole of the first two rows of the theatres names. Does this every night, amazing. His theory on stock market crashes is bloody brilliant.
What i find fascinating is the amount of jokes that they don't get, laugh and then explain incorrectly why the joke was funny. 2 good dudes though. Keep it up.
Your beautiful people you are yer beautiful people. A do I love um I love um your beautiful people you Americans because yer simple folk aren't yer with your American Dream.....
I think it's a bit unfortunate that Irish-Americans bleat about jokes about Terrorism. If the USA hadn't funded the IRA for 30 years the UK wouldn't have been surprised about what happened on the 11/9
This is why I love Americans so much. They really can take a joke. There is no difference in sense of humour...the irony and sarcasm is not lost on our cousins. God bless you, boys. I've been watching and enjoying your videos for a while now. You know when to take it, and give it back x
@@rachelBrady-ni Please don't be so ignorant. You are really showing it with this comment. I have family in America, and have met many of their friends...and this lazy stereotype is simple not true. Of course it's not!
Al Murray is always very well self-informed. A clever chap who researches deeply. He's also very passionate about studying history. Al Murray's Road to Berlin is a really good World War II documentary. Gotta love the guy!
"Greenland that is white. Iceland made of volcanoes. Faroes (play on the word 'Pharoahs') no where near Egypt." I could see some jokes went over your heads lads....
Boys! Drag yourselves to the UK. Next year Al Murray is doing a new pub landlord tour in small venues , 80 plus gigs . Crash at our house! Love to Maryland.
Hillarious! Gotta love Al Murray. I found it interesting that Al didn't mention much of Scandinavia right ;) Guess the viking history isn't fun for him to mention thoo xD lulz
You should watch the clip of "Britain has defeated every country in the world" Norway was raised and he said "The Vikings, we saw them off in the end didn't we? They were Vikings , now they're Norwegians - that's a fíng come down, from Vikings to Norwegians. From 'horny helmets to ,,, cough ,,, horny helmets' " 😂
Here's one for you... Wherever you go in the uk the piece of bread you put a burger in between is called something different. In the US you call it a bun or a burger bun!
The Peru reference re the Bear is due to famous British chidrens story about Paddington bear (whose favourite food is a Marmalade sandwich!) - found at Waterloo Station - there are several books/cartoons & even a film featuring Hugh Bonneville (Earl of grantham in Downton abbey!!)
Al is a very intelligent guy. I am sure he knows that Culloden was not a battle between England and Scotland. A large part of the British Army consisted of Scots. Never let the truth get in the way of a good joke. He is a comedian after all. It's his job to rip the piss. Still love the guy. The jibe about us never reaching the finals was brutal, but unfortunately accurate. Damn!! 🤔 ⚽⚽

What i find fascinating is the amount of jokes that they don't get, laugh and then explain incorrectly why the joke was funny. 2 good dudes though. Keep it up.
Your beautiful people you are yer beautiful people. A do I love um I love um your beautiful people you Americans because yer simple folk aren't yer with your American Dream.....
I use these lovely guys to try to guess the level of understanding of each Al Murray joke. Like a mini-game, but educational!
I think it's a bit unfortunate that Irish-Americans bleat about jokes about Terrorism. If the USA hadn't funded the IRA for 30 years the UK wouldn't have been surprised about what happened on the 11/9
Because they live in some weird bygone era in their minds. It’s weird
Honestly we joke about them, they joke about us, I dont really care
Great reaction. Glad to see you enjoying it so much!!
This is why I love Americans so much. They really can take a joke. There is no difference in sense of humour...the irony and sarcasm is not lost on our cousins. God bless you, boys. I've been watching and enjoying your videos for a while now. You know when to take it, and give it back x
Yes there is absolutely a massive difference in humour they can't take a joke at all that's common knowledge
@@rachelBrady-ni Please don't be so ignorant. You are really showing it with this comment. I have family in America, and have met many of their friends...and this lazy stereotype is simple not true. Of course it's not!
Americans can't take a joke at all and I'm pretty sure they don't do irony
@@rachelBrady-nifor the majority yes but the Americans that do understand briefing humour are brilliant
@@nathanarmstrong2567 again, and u just admitted, most are like that. End of
Really enjoyed this fellers, two thumbs up.
Al Murray is always very well self-informed. A clever chap who researches deeply. He's also very passionate about studying history. Al Murray's Road to Berlin is a really good World War II documentary. Gotta love the guy!
He should be well informed. He is a history graduate of Oxford University.
Brilliant reaction guys. Really funny and really good Sports in the audience. Keep up the good work. X
happy you got the full video this time good job lads and awesome as always 😀
Top blokes, nice chaps, lovely fellas! But I can’t help but notice that a lot of that went straight over your heads
I’ve seen Al Murray many times and you guys have just reminded me how funny and clever he is.😂🤣👍🏼
You enjoy Al Murray so much, try his TV series "Time Gentleman Please" where he plays the pub landlord in his own pub.
I remember that, such a good show, never got the recognition it deserved
"Greenland that is white. Iceland made of volcanoes. Faroes (play on the word 'Pharoahs') no where near Egypt." I could see some jokes went over your heads lads....
Irish love the craic. They have a great sense of humour.
I've been watching a few reaction videos and you guys are funny and chill. Keep up the good work 👏
The bear from Peru he's on about is Paddington 🤣 you guys seemed a bit lost there haha
Paddington reference in Peru was so good.
He ran for a seat. In Parliament. A comic. Playing a character. Looking to get popular support to join the Circus. Fuvking Brilliant.
Boys! Drag yourselves to the UK. Next year Al Murray is doing a new pub landlord tour in small venues , 80 plus gigs . Crash at our house! Love to Maryland.
Hillarious! Gotta love Al Murray. I found it interesting that Al didn't mention much of Scandinavia right ;) Guess the viking history isn't fun for him to mention thoo xD lulz
You should watch the clip of "Britain has defeated every country in the world" Norway was raised and he said "The Vikings, we saw them off in the end didn't we? They were Vikings , now they're Norwegians - that's a fíng come down, from Vikings to Norwegians. From 'horny helmets to ,,, cough ,,, horny helmets' " 😂
Just subscribed! From the UK. Love the reaction videos 😂
He's a genius , with whatever he says!
I'm from Plymouth and it's true
Al Murrays history documentaries were great, too!
I’m from Maryland too. Gotta love that flag. MD REPRESENT!!!!
Here's one for you... Wherever you go in the uk the piece of bread you put a burger in between is called something different. In the US you call it a bun or a burger bun!
I'm Irish meself, and I find this funny af. It's a bit of oul craic 😂
Paddington Bear was from deepest darkest Peru. He arrived at Paddington Station London. Hence the name
The Peru reference re the Bear is due to famous British chidrens story about Paddington bear (whose favourite food is a Marmalade sandwich!) - found at Waterloo Station - there are several books/cartoons & even a film featuring Hugh Bonneville (Earl of grantham in Downton abbey!!)
That would be Paddington Station, not Waterloo! As Al would say, "clue's in the name for fucks sake!"
@@nicksykes4575 i stand corrected!! - (in my weak defense - it's friday evening & i've had a copule of beers!!)
@@britblue All good with me, and cheers btw!!
Al is a very intelligent guy. I am sure he knows that Culloden was not a battle between England and Scotland.
A large part of the British Army consisted of Scots.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good joke.
He is a comedian after all. It's his job to rip the piss. Still love the guy.
The jibe about us never reaching the finals was brutal, but unfortunately accurate. Damn!! 🤔 ⚽⚽
No one is safe from The Landlord's barbed comments ... he destroys we lovable Scousers...
His Welsh and Irish accents are class 😂
Wonderful content as always chaps! Check out Rhod Gilbert and James Acaster sometime.
Also best of Blackadder!
Rhod Gilbert for sure !! The guys hilarious
