The dude with the raspy voice is also in Spaced, which you absolutely must watch if you haven't already. It stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jessica Hynes and Mark Heap (Jim from Friday Night Dinner). Can't remember if you've done it already but you CANNOT miss it.
Was the housemate in Shaun of the Dead and had a part in Guardians of the Galaxy as one of the star command pilots, or whatever they were called.
Also, he was the voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, not the animation!
And the sommelier in John Wick.
With textured grips should your hands get, wet.
He was excellent in Spaced. What a show!
Peter Serafinowicz.
To all those who supported me last week when I lost my job, thank you so much and you were right! Today I got a new job, same company, same awesome colleagues and an office job to save my old hands and back ;) Great success, thank you all again !! :) Now on to the reaction :)
Great to hear . Sounds perfect .
Niiice. Congratulations 🎉
thx
"The pay's not great but the work is hard" 😏
You were fired then got a job at the same company working with the same people? Are you sure the company didn't just transfer you into the office
She's listening to him doing the Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4. It's read twice daily (three times on weekends). It's usually very soothing, though actually important for the ships and fishing boats.
The Shipping Forecast is definitely one of those moments where "Explain that the UK is actually a very small island without saying the words very small island"
Yes, I presume she just had the phone off the hook not to be disturbed?
A flannel is a washcloth for your face/hands.
Haha I had "I ate all your bees" as my quote thing on my profile on Myspace back in the day 😅 🤣 ahh the memories 😅
2 quid for fast food sounds like science fiction nowadays
I always took that as Bernard not even attempting to use the register (too many buttons!), Burger a quid, with chips makes it 2 quid if coke wasn't off wouldv'e been 3 quid 😅
I love the way Dylan Moran delivered the "Welcome to the thing....whatever this place is." line.
Speaking on behalf of bored counter staff with sore feet across the land 😂
Peter Serafinowicz was also the lodger in Sean of the Dead.
And Darth Maul
@@JaymzShikari Well, his voice...
@@dabe1971 yeah, i learned that this week after seeing the movie dozens of times and it messed me up so now I tell everyone
“Pete? Peeete?”
He was also the Tick for two seconds
Flannel is a type of cloth, like linen, which is why you have flannel clothes. We have flannelette pyjamas and sheet sets which are thickish material that keeps you warmer and generally older people use them in winter.
A flannel is a square of cloth maybe half again the size of someones hand with sewn edges usually used in the bathroom, I guess small hand-towel would be the equivalent. I assume they were made of actual flannel at some stage in history.
To British/Australians rag implies a piece waste cloth you might use to mop up some mess then throw away.
Dylan was addressing Bill as characters with beards and long hair, Gandalf, Genghis (Khan), and Ming The Merciless who is a Flash Gordon villain.
Most people dont know this, because Absinthe has an odd history and its not sold or drunk everywhere, but Absinthe is one of the most potent alcoholic drinks you can get. It makes pretty much every other spirit drink look like lemonade in comparison. So, Manny hunkering down with a bottle was bound to be a disaster.
A flannel is a small hand towel which you use for washing your hands or face. Its usually about the size of a handkerchief but its made of.. flannel.
Absinthe is fabulous , france only outlawed it so ppl bought wine again
Plus they did what media today does , lied about it in a way that gave it the bad press needed .
flannel noun (WASHING CLOTH)
a small cloth that you use to wash your face and body
There are many, many videos on YT of people trying absinthe for the first time and just absolutely losing their minds. 75-80% ABV, or 160-180 proof for our American cousins. Supposedly the French impressionists and the Lost Generation living in Paris used to go mad on the stuff. It was banned in the UK/Ireland for a bit, mostly due to some bad press. You drink a very small amount, with water and a sugar cube.
It is certainly true that not many spirits have a greater alcohol content than Absinthe: The most well-known one is of course "Everclear" at 95%, but this doesn't necessarily count because it is almost always used as a component of other drinks, not drunk on its own. One of the only spirits which is a genuine drink and has a higher alcohol content is an Austrian dark rum product called "Stroh", which is 90% alcohol.
One of the strongest I have personally encountered was a "special reserve" version of Chivas Scotch whiskey, which was 70% alcohol, identical to the alcohol content of the Absinthe shown in this episode of Black Books. Which was probably the strongest whiskey of any type, including Scotch, Irish and American "bourbon". The next strongest contender that I know of is one of the varieties of "Knob Creek" brand bourbon at 60%. Though there may be others which are stronger - does anyone know of any examples?
My first experience talking to an American in America in the late 90s was buying a burger in JFK airport at the end of the shift and the woman behind the counter said, 'yeah, whadaya want?' like Janine from Ghostbusters. It was exactly what I wanted from New York!
Peter Serafinowics is also the dude that sorts John Wick out with all his guns.
Also, the porn shop guy was Thoros of Myr in Game of Thrones. Guy's an absolute legend!
Nope, Thoros was played by Peter Kaye. Porn Shop guy is someone else
In the UK we have year round free AC, we just open a window and freezing air blows in! God has set it to 60 degrees F today.
Do you mean real weather?
53F where I am, but it was an intolerable (to me anyway) 71/72F the other week. I actually bought a portable air conditioner a few years back for that reason. If it's 21C outside it's 25C in my flat and I'm dying
Used to love the sun years ago.top off muscles out.now just hate sweating.2 weeks ago was the hottest all year & I'd been out for a few hours.spent next 3 days with my head peeling & spots around my forehead.4 or 5 times standing in a cold shower,then start sweating again.summer is for holidays by the pool or beach not in polluted town
British buildings are built to retain heat
Can we talk in normal conversions, ie Celsius. 😇
Queen Boomers tales never fail to make me smile and i love how King Boomer always loses his shit about his compu ter😂awesome
I had a 'ball massage' revelatory moment with the comedy series Red Dwarf - I'd watched it as a child, but then one day in my early 20s an episode was on TV and as I sat and watched it I had this sudden shocking realisation of what Arnold Rimmer's surname actually meant 😂
My fave episode, the one i fondly remember with the Subbuteo football player in his hair lol, and its got that Taxi Driver film vibe when hes locked out.
"It's this sort of world, Gandalf" is a catchphrase my kids and I used to each other for years. We still do, on occasion.
He called Manny, Ghengis. The beardy barbarian. 😂
Fran was listening to radio 4, The Shipping Forecast which tells sailors and fisherman about the next days weather around the British isles. I listen to it to fall asleep, but not for…..that!
Flannels aren’t rags, they face and body wash cloths.
And then Ming the Merciless xD
Peter Serafinowicz did "8 out 10 cat does countdown" and famously answered Jimmy Carr's question: Are you a fan of countdown?" With " Frankly, that's none of your business " 😂😂
"Abdicated" 😂
His 'Morrissey' bit on this was amazing too :)
He's a superb impersonator too. The Peter Serafinawicz Show was superb. Criminal that it only ran to one series.
He was also in a short lived comedy with Martin Freeman called "Hardware". Great show
Peter Serafinowicz is the voice of Dart Maul in Star Wars Episode 1
Indeed. But the husky voice not that noticeable there.
The story he tells about the premiere on Richard Herring's podcast is hilarious. If you haven't heard it, give it a listen. I think it's on RUclips just by itself. Basically completely rips into the film.
@@joepiekl I listen to RHLSTP also 😀 I remember that one. I remember he told the story of how he recorded dialog for the film Solo but they ended up using someone else because they thought he sounds to old now.
To start late or pausing to get awesome awkward comedy with Queen Boomer I always find a fair exchange! 🤣🤣
A flannel is specifically bathroom use. A rag is for cleaning oil off your car etc.
Peter Serofinovich is also the Weapons Master in the John Wick films
Dude you have to watch spaced after this. It’s where well fell in love with simon pegg nick frost and edgar wright. Nira park produced spaced and black books back and forth for 5 years before becoming producer for the corneto trilogy and more. Before Shawn of the dead, there was spaced!
He is in the right age group to get most of the gags.
The guy putting the door in was Nick Frost from HOT FUZZ
you can change the notification settings on your computer to not make a noise when things are plugged in or out, it would be a quick fix for now for you, you could change it just when you are recording and stuff. i turned mine off when i had a faulty phone charger for a while
"FRAAAAN..." GETS ME EVERY TIME!!😂😂😂😂😂
Nick Frost starred in a largely forgotten and highly underrated series called "Hyperdrive" that is well worth looking for.
oh that show was good
Hyperdrive was awful!! Trying to be a cross between Star Trek and Red Dwarf
@@Caroline_Tyler It was absurd and I loved it.
Also "The Nevers" which was sadly canceled as part of a big HBO cull
Thanks for reminding me this show existed!
Peter Serafinowicz also played big role in Shaun of the Dead. he was Pete. And few roles in IT Crowd too.
A flannel in Oz and the UK is a small face washer towel...not a rag
I often feel that dictionaries are underutilised tools.
Person on the internet: "I don't understand that word. However will i find out its meaning? If only there was some sort of source material, arranged in alphabetical order, where I could look up the meaning of said word."
😂
I have Black Books on DVD this is one of my favourite episodes. The "oh no!" Writing 😂
"FRAAAN" CRACKS ME UP EVERYTIME!!!😂😂😂😂
He voiced darth maul in the proper film. Also Joe Pasquale is another British comedian, the guy with the high voice on radio. Voice was part of his shtick. Some of his stuff was pretty funny.
Joe Pasquale was in the police force before he did comedy. I've tried to imagine it but it just won't compute.
Peter Serafinowicz was also in the Cornetto Trilogy. The was the flatmate. So you had 3 of them in this episode. On Sunday I went to a poetry session with Tamsin Greig and also Tim McInnerny, who you’ll remember as Darling and Percy in Blackadder.
A flannel is what you keep in the bathroom. A "rag" would be something you throw away!
Over here you eat flannel 😂
When you adopted that raspy voice, I thought you were going to tell Queen Boomer that you were a cop …. 😂
😆
he was the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars
The cinema/fast food worker was in Spaced along with Peter Serafinowicz and Nick Frost. Honestly, the connections are wild between the Linehan shows, Simon Peggs show Spaced and his films, Alan Partridge, Garth Marenghi etc
21:31 King Boomer clapped them cheeks.
"Well, here I am" is something I say daily. And "there was a little man".
The guy behind the counter selling popcorn in the cinema and then behind the counter in the burger shop plays Ricky Gervais’s colleague in After Life (his fellow reporter he always takes the piss out of), that’s where I recognised him from!
He was also in the mostly forgotten sketch show Tittybangbang, which was like a complete cross between / ripoff of Little Britain and Catherine Tate.
And Tom cruise movie edge of tomorrow/live die repeat/all you need is kill
That interaction about the CIA and the dissolving ink sounds like a conversation between Karl and Ricky on the Ricky Gervais Show. ‘Nah its bollocks’ 😂
Flannel is typically a wool or cotton cloth material, in flannel bed sheets, flannel clothing, flannel wash rags, flannel bandages etc.
Queen Boomer's jingle for Black Books might even give the Father Ted one a run for its money
Tamsin greig was also in green wing another amazing comedy. Also I have to mention Bluestone 42 a British comedy about soldiers in Afghanistan 😂
When you're done with Black Books you should look at Count Arthur Strong's show. That also has Graham Linehan as one of the writers
Maybe the computer somehow got some viruses 😉 naughty king boomer 😂
The 'little man' was a Subbuteo model, a football tabletop game. You'd flick the players around to hit a ball etc.. Not sure if it ever made it over to the states or not!
It did. I've seen it on TV but they called it foozeball
@@wullaballoo2642Foozeball is not the same as subbuteo.
Manny does specifically mention that at 15:50, but it can easily be missed if you don't know what that is.
@@wullaballoo2642that’s table football which is different to Subbuteo.
@@wullaballoo2642 No, different games.
Foosball is Table football/soccer with the figurines affixed to rods.
Subbuteo has free standing figurines with weighted bottoms you flick with your finger and they slide across the playing field.
Couldn't see it mentioned anywhere but Peter Serafinowicz besides those roles mentioned already... also played one of the Nova corp in Guardians of the Galaxy, the 'What a bunch of A-holes' guy.
Please keep it up with these Black Books reactions. You guys are always an entertaining and comforting watch. Black books is beyond brilliant and Dylan Moran is a national treasure ☘
Hal, guy with deep voice, played Simon Pegg's movie "Sean of the Dead" as his roommate.👍🏼😲
Tamsin Greig has also played Debbie Archer for literally decades on The Archers. That's a radio soap on Radio 4 in the UK which has been running since the mid 50's. It's probably the most upper-middle class/boomer thing the UK has ever produced
Great reaction guys
Peter Serafinowicz is also the annoyed room mate in Shaun of the Dead, as well as the Italian spy who loves Melissa McCarthy. A man of many talents. (He was also very funny on WILTY)
And the gun ‘sommelier’ in John Wick
@@HistoritorJimaldus he truly does it all.
You mentioned Nick frost from Sean of the dead but forgot the raspy voice fella was Sean’s flatmate lol 😂
RUclips suggested next video after this is IT Crowd work outing, where Queen Boomer tells her ball massage story. 😂
The Shipping Forecast has been broadcast on Radio 4 here in the UK forever. All sailors tune in and land folk for its soothing qualities.
Your computer clearly has a sense of humour, it's making up for the chair squeak 😂
Graham Linehan, writer of Father Ted etc, plays the burger bar customer in the white coat in this episode.
You CUT OUT THE GUY FRANI IS WAITING TO HEAR HIS VOICE"!!!! NO!!!!! FUNNIEST BIT!!!😆😅😂
Love your “You sir, are a wanker!” shirt!
That guy was indeed in Game of Thrones - Ser Dontos the jester knight
and in Edge of Tomorrow......
And Ali G in Da House
Peter serrafinowicz is in Shaun of the dead as Shaun’s housemate
Plus he is the voice of darth maul in Star Wars
26.38... i laughed so hard. well done queen boomer
The little man in his hair is a "Subbuteo" playing piece. A game where the players flick their team pieces against a ball. A net each end of a printed baize football field for the goals.
They said just "civil war". Who knows if it is US civil war, most countries has had em. Which makes the answer to the question "civil war general or communist dictator" to be "yes".... if we are talking about Russian civil war.
How can their be a communist dictator? It’s very confusing.
"FRAAAAAN!!!!!"😃😂😃😂😜😃😂😜
The guy serving in the cinema and burgar joint is called "Tony Way" he's great in "Ali G in the house", "Mongrels" and "Afterlife"👍
Your shirt should have an exclamation mark. 😂
The guy wirh 'the voice' plays The Tick in the series too
What's most annoying is walking into a store and someone says can I help you soon as you step through the door 🚪
I have the same birthday as Peter Serafinowicz, which is also the same day as John Simm, another very underrated english actor 🙂
This shipping forecast, on Radio 4, is a forecast of the following days weather in the various ocean areas around the UK for fishermen and all shipping traffic. Fran was listening to Radio 4 Shipping Forecast for kicks!
I'm waiting for the episode where Manny plays the piano. It's my favourite. Bill Bailley is actually a pianist.
Its Tony Way, the paperboy from Spaced.....and more😸
The first show I saw Tamzin Greig and Mark Heap (Jim from Friday Night Dinner) in was Green Wing, which is a comedy set in a hospital.
It's a show which I think isn't very well known and is kinda lost to history.
It's full of strange but funny characters with many funny moments.
It's definitely worth looking for, and I think you might really enjoy it.
i'm an aussie and we don't call a rag a flannel, also black books came out in 2000 and it crowed came out in 2006
No we call a flannel a flannel and a rag a rag...
Joe Pasquale is Mickey Mouse on helium
Shipping Forecast!! ..my favourite is 'German Bight' and 'Dogger'!!
Joe Pasquale (the Mickey Mouse voice) is an old school hack comedian with an infamously grating voice.
He mostly does Panto now, as far as I know.
It's not actually a cameo from him, as far as I can tell, but an impersonation.
I live in a village that has a Chinese restaurant, they don't accept orders online, no just eat, no deliveries and only takes cash, it's the exact same as when I was a child in the 80's, and what an amazing meal. ❤❤
Peter " saveaskinnywitch ", iv found that's the easiest way to pronounce his surname 😂
Peter Serafinowicz (pronounced serra-FIN-a-wits). And a flannel is what you probably call a wash cloth. The shipping forecast is a nightly weather and tide forecast for ships - it's simply a list of sea regions and numbers and is surprisingly relaxing. If you like Tamsin Greig, you should also watch the bizarre hospital comedy, Green Wing.
Imagine no longer King Boomer. The place you're looking for is Best Kebab in Glasgow, Scotland. Its now a rite of passage to be thrown out by the owner as he threatens you. There are videos online of people baiting him.
THEY HAVE A BACK DOOR!!!!😃😂😜😃😂😜
Peter Serafinowicz or whatever was a
37:15 That is exactly what they shout at you in Chinese takeaways if you phone in your order. They THINK they're asking you what you require, but what they actually shout is "What You Want?"
Wait till you see the Simon Pegg episode.
Also speaking of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, you really need to watch "Spaced" After you finish up with Black Books, if you want weird and funny, that has to be the weirdest and funniest of them all.
There's a grate sitcom called one foot in the grave you might like to watch when your done with black books
One foot in the hedgehog
A flannel can mean a few different things contemporaneously. A flannel is a flannel washcloth or face washer. We tend to call a flannel shirt just that, a flannel shirt. Interestingly in my parents generation a “flannel” Was specifically a type of coarse undershirt.
Before I've even watched this; great t-shirt man. Great t-shirt 😂😂😂
I totally agree. Daniel does look like Bill Bailey 🙂
The exterior shots of the bookshop are actually of a real bookshop in London….
Peter Serafinowicz 's Laurel and Hardy sketch is funy as 'fuck'.
Peter thingy was in Sean of the Dead too as their housemate who became a zombie. You and Queen Boomer are perfect for each other. Have you seen Monty Python singing I’m a lumberjack. It’s great 😂
Would hate to see Brian watch something involving the Darkhold ....what would queeny be saying then 😂😂😂😂😂
Bless you both !!!
Fran is listening to guy earlier in bookshop on the "Shipping Report"...💋💋💋💋
A flannel is not a rag. It's fluffy like a towel. It's used for washing. I believe you might call them face towels.
Come and buy some books, or don't, we don't care, here at Black Books 😂
I thought the cinema/burger person was Tony Way, only really knew him from Mongrels (puppet comedy unfortunately censored though shit is allowed after episode 6 and a few fucks are in series 2, just wish they'd release it uncensored, does have a lot of c-words in it)
The customer buying the burger is the other writer Graham… :).
