    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.

    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 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

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.

    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.

    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.
