@@grahamlopez6202 You mean us rescuing the Soviets? If we hadn't shipped them millions of tonnes of fuel, food, weapons, ammunition and vehicles the Nazi's would have rolled right over them. If Britain hadn't destroyed the best 70% of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, the Nazi's would have rolled right over the Soviets. The shattered remains of the Luftwaffe still managed to annihilate the red air force in 3 days anyway, imagine if they'd been whole. If Britain hadn't sunk the bulk of the Kriegsmarine, the Nazi's would have destroyed and invaded every sea facing city Russia had then rolled right over them. Operation overlord happened when it did because the Red army were nearing collapse fielding old men and boys two to a rifle. If we hadn't started the Normandy campaign when we did, the Nazi's would have defeated and occupied Russia.
The only reason the US isn't called New Brittania is so it wouldn't be too obvious to the rest of the world.

For any Americans watching this: 1) It's comedy. What he say's shouldn't be taken literally so stop droning on about The Revolutionary War as nobody cares. Honestly we don't. 2) Contrary to popular belief (in your country anyway) America didn't enter WW2 'to save little old England'. It entered the war as a result of the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbour then that little angry fella with the Charlie Chaplin moustache along with the baldy Italian dude officially declaring war on the USA.Try getting your history written from books instead of Hollywood screen writers. 3) We didn't lose to the IRA. Should you ever stop to see what's going on outside of your own country and some cases your own state, the you'll find that Northern Ireland is still very much part of the UK so hardly an IRA victory was it?
Billie Piper's Teeth and Dunkirk was when Britain had to retreat from certain collapse to fight another day and it also brought the people together like never before something the Germans could never break is the will of the people that is a major reason why we stopped them
I’m American I can assure you absolutely no one does and I don’t know why the guy with a British flag is answering your question. In WW1 our entry did speed up the end of the war but it was lost for the central powers before our entrance. In WW2 we definitely did. If we didn’t enter the Soviets would’ve taken all Nazi controlled territory, because they would’ve reached Berlin before the Brits since Churchill wanted an invasion through Sicily. If we didn’t enter the whole continent would’ve been communist.
So can I joke about them being the direct cause of tens of millions of people dying in WW2 because they refused to intervene against Hitler when he invaded Poland like the "Treaty of Mutual Assistance" said they would?
The most recent battle we lost was the Battle of Hastings, and that was in 1066. We haven't lost since. We basically have a 954 year winning streak, more so than any other country.
Battle of New Orleans, Yorktown, Saratoga, that on invasion Turkey during WWI, planned by Churchill, countless battles against Napoleon.... but, yeah undefeated.
I've watched Al Murray do TV documentaries on various subjects. One doc series was called The Road to Berlin, about WW2. Would you believe that he is actually quietly spoken in normal life, and I think that he studied history at college or uni.
Have you ever seen some idiot being able to make laugh so many people in one go? It's obvious that he has a lot of knowledge,educated or not,but he is.H from a frog

@@yiyodder You have got it all wrong. The 8th was in 7th armoured when I was in it in 1959. We were in Fallingbostel, which incidentally, was the home of the AFRIKA CORPS. It wasn't disbanded. We amalgamated with 5RTR on July 1st 1960. We moved out of our barracks and moved in with the 5thRTR in the adjacent barracks and our barracks were taken over by 13th/18th Hussars. When I was there last, in 1993 there was a big sign as you approached the camp which read, WELCOME TO THE HOME OF 7th ARMOURED. Why do you say 8rtr wasn't in 7th Armoured?
Ateyo there was 3 Anglo -Afghan war. From 1838 - 1919. The 1st war was won by Afghans.

1:59 The basic, slapstick humour of Murray describing the US armed forces is so funny to me. Just the idea of some guys with wetsuits and scuba gear in a desert 😂
sending water soldiers to fight in the desert, he makes a point😂

The trouble with watching this man's videos is that I always have to make myself a cup of tea afterward
These videos have a fantastic ability to make Americans salty xD
Nan knows best 😂😂🙏
About?
@@Hater20X Listen to your nan
Only the SJWs. You guys could invade and if this guy is the General I wouldn't even be mad.
Only the civilians who’ve never actually held a gun. Us that are actually in the military realize that our top brass suck and this man is actually spittin
This is the point at which Ludwig begins to get the joke, British absurdism at its finest.

Ed cheers mate
The number of salty Americans here who've never heard of a joke is scary
Lol most Americans know the UK is our lil brudda

Edit 2: please just stop arguing this was a joke
TheAmarican That’s rich coming from a country that had their arses kicked by little men in pyjamas.
TheAmarican You wouldn’t even have independence from us if it wasn’t for help from the french and Spanish because they were salty that we whopped them. U fucked up in iraq and Vietnam, waited 4 years in each world war to fucking join then said u won the war just because you were big and strong from not fucking fighting. We held the Germans whilst they owned all of Europe whilst u were doing jack shit. We helped in Iraq instantly because unlike you, were not pussies. Pipe down, you’ve only existed like 2 years
Dominic Harris you idiots would have lost WW2 easily lmao if we just killed japan and left you would all be nazis
@TheAmarican Exactly! There will probably still be a billion comments on how this is a joke though.
The Sonic Explorer we held our ground for 3 years and you only came into the war when it most concerned you, Germany couldn’t have invaded Britain as they didn’t have air superiority, meaning they wouldn’t invade since it would be stupid to run into Britain with nothing substantial to defend against our bombers, actually learn the basic facts mate
Comments: Watch out for salty Americans!
Me: Where?
Me: *Checks the reply sections*

We Americans must remain salty and hard for the next time the Brits get into a scrap that they can’t possibly get out of by themselves...you’re welcome.

My Late Grandfather and Father were Royal Engineers both Majors . Royal Engineers have served King Queen Country for over 900 years. They are the longest serving Regiment in the UK and the World, listen to Rudyard Kiplings description of the " Sappers " in his poem its called the " Muddy old Engineer " .
Well said David. If you ever get to watch the old movie Zulu you will see that an engineer held the team together and they won.

Murray's father was a colonel in 131 (Parachute) Regiment, Royal Engineers.
As Al knows there's more to laughter than comedy.
@Jacob Zondag As we all know Britain didn't lose the American war for independence, they just decided it was time to "streamline" and cut America from the Empire.
He forgot the Dragoon guards.
In case any illiterate dragons show up.
Dragoon guards to handle Dragons....they must be doing a pretty good fucking job then aint seen a single incident of a dragon attack
If they were illiterate then, why wouldn't cats, dogs or camels turn up.

This is why I love Al Murray his comedy is only really funny to us British. As evidence by the comments here it also annoys foreigners which makes it just that much better. Man's truly a genius.
anything else? or are you done having an absolute fit 😐
I was laughing out loud. Not British, but a long time connoisseur of good, dry wit from the isles.
This came out at the right time!
Ehimetalor Akhere Unuabona yes, 2008 was a glorious time for this show!

Matthew McMahon I know, I was taking the piss.
A beautiful British way of looking at things while i was in Iraq and Afghanistan we had different way of looking at it lol
Through sunglasses.
@Jacob Zondag not so phoney when your there hopefully you never have to be
@Jacob Zondag end of conversation don't tell me about history or what i should do in life please
Steve Holmes tbf I do believe we should of never taken down husseins regime he was the only stabilising power in Iraq the migrant crisis is our fault.

Do you understand what he says without subtitles
Round three's coming we'll have to see if we're still that lucky
Have to do this one without the Soviets coming to the rescue like last time, but iran is small enough to fit in texas so it should be okay
@@grahamlopez6202 Haha!
It's over 2x bigger but ok
@@grahamlopez6202 You mean us rescuing the Soviets? If we hadn't shipped them millions of tonnes of fuel, food, weapons, ammunition and vehicles the Nazi's would have rolled right over them. If Britain hadn't destroyed the best 70% of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, the Nazi's would have rolled right over the Soviets. The shattered remains of the Luftwaffe still managed to annihilate the red air force in 3 days anyway, imagine if they'd been whole. If Britain hadn't sunk the bulk of the Kriegsmarine, the Nazi's would have destroyed and invaded every sea facing city Russia had then rolled right over them. Operation overlord happened when it did because the Red army were nearing collapse fielding old men and boys two to a rifle. If we hadn't started the Normandy campaign when we did, the Nazi's would have defeated and occupied Russia.
Toby Downes no he means you can’t fit Iran in Texas
Graham Lopez your dumb bro
Also, Britain released the best tabletop wargame of all time!
Which, there’s too many?
Warhammer by any chance? Or something else there’s a great many
And that’s why I’m proud to be British 😎
Britian: loses a war
Also britian: YOU SEE THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG!
Wartide3 Long we didnt lose a war we pulled out so we didn’t embarrass them
The only reason the US isn't called New Brittania is so it wouldn't be too obvious to the rest of the world. We'll just stage an "independance" war and transfer the power to ourselves and then change the name, now we have two seats at the table! Well played, well played. Meanwhile down here in Canadia, laughs in third seat at the table. I love the brits, very industrious people.

Even the feminists at the very last moment of the clip weren't spared. Love it.
He's just fucking ruthless..... and there's nothing wrong with that XD
Didn't I play this dude in Bully.
Wow mans really went British on us
"Gotta stay match fit incase the Germans try again" AHAHAA
This guy has balls, he is a British man that seems to be proud of his nation that makes fun of the Queen for being a women and not understanding army units. He got balls indeed
For any Americans watching this:
1) It's comedy. What he say's shouldn't be taken literally so stop droning on about The Revolutionary War as nobody cares. Honestly we don't.
2) Contrary to popular belief (in your country anyway) America didn't enter WW2 'to save little old England'. It entered the war as a result of the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbour then that little angry fella with the Charlie Chaplin moustache along with the baldy Italian dude officially declaring war on the USA.Try getting your history written from books instead of Hollywood screen writers.
3) We didn't lose to the IRA. Should you ever stop to see what's going on outside of your own country and some cases your own state, the you'll find that Northern Ireland is still very much part of the UK so hardly an IRA victory was it?
Stop talking about shit that happened 100 years ago.
Let's go right now.
Wipe the floor with your pixie headed asses.
@@shogun5599 What??
Mark P “we don’t”. I guess you should take a look at your country men ahahah
It’s so ironic that this gets recommended when WW3 is about to happen😂
Just a simple statement that Britain is ready for anything. Rule Britannia, boys.
Kyrptxn ain’t gonna happen
It gets worse
Can confirm
Do Americans actually believe they saved Britain in ww1
Billie Piper's Teeth they didn’t 😂
@Hornyshark my mistake but my point stands. The entrance of The USA into the war in 1917 was tbe writing on the wall for the Central Powers.
Billie Piper's Teeth idiot
Billie Piper's Teeth and Dunkirk was when Britain had to retreat from certain collapse to fight another day and it also brought the people together like never before something the Germans could never break is the will of the people that is a major reason why we stopped them
I’m American I can assure you absolutely no one does and I don’t know why the guy with a British flag is answering your question. In WW1 our entry did speed up the end of the war but it was lost for the central powers before our entrance. In WW2 we definitely did. If we didn’t enter the Soviets would’ve taken all Nazi controlled territory, because they would’ve reached Berlin before the Brits since Churchill wanted an invasion through Sicily. If we didn’t enter the whole continent would’ve been communist.
Im not even british but i enjoyed this 😂😂
When he said marines as "water soldiers" I died so hard
Dear many americans in the comments
👏Its 👏 a 👏 comedy 👏 sketch 👏
So can I joke about them being the direct cause of tens of millions of people dying in WW2 because they refused to intervene against Hitler when he invaded Poland like the "Treaty of Mutual Assistance" said they would?

The most recent battle we lost was the Battle of Hastings, and that was in 1066. We haven't lost since. We basically have a 954 year winning streak, more so than any other country.
British propoganda
Battle of New Orleans, Yorktown, Saratoga, that on invasion Turkey during WWI, planned by Churchill, countless battles against Napoleon.... but, yeah undefeated.
You do realize you lost the 100 years war and the American independence war, right ? And there are many other examples
@@guguss3804 Yeah, I realised that. Lol.
We won or we would be speaking their language
I wonder how that routine went down the first time he told it to his father, an officer in the Royal Engineers....
I've watched Al Murray do TV documentaries on various subjects. One doc series was called The Road to Berlin, about WW2. Would you believe that he is actually quietly spoken in normal life, and I think that he studied history at college or uni.
Have you ever seen some idiot being able to make laugh so many people in one go? It's obvious that he has a lot of knowledge,educated or not,but he is.H from a frog
Well where else would you study History but at a College or University smdh.
@@BamaMatters11 Hi there smartass. How about studying at home
I once spent a year studying the French language. My studies were partly at home, and one evening a week at a local school, which was not a college. Does that answer your question?

8 RTR has never been in 7 Armoured Division ( Desert Rats ) . 8RTR disbanded in 1960 . Think you're getting confused with real life and your dreams .
@@yiyodder You have got it all wrong. The 8th was in 7th armoured when I was in it in 1959. We were in Fallingbostel, which incidentally, was the home of the AFRIKA CORPS. It wasn't disbanded. We amalgamated with 5RTR on July 1st 1960. We moved out of our barracks and moved in with the 5thRTR in the adjacent barracks and our barracks were taken over by 13th/18th Hussars. When I was there last, in 1993 there was a big sign as you approached the camp which read, WELCOME TO THE HOME OF 7th ARMOURED.
Why do you say 8rtr wasn't in 7th Armoured?

British won the 2nd Anglo-Afghan War, lost 1 and 3
Ateyo there was 3 Anglo -Afghan war.
From 1838 - 1919.
The 1st war was won by Afghans.
The second war was won by British actually the won the khayar pass area but they didn’t won the whole Afghanistan.
3rd in 1919 was won by Afghanistan.
And British people left the chat. They knew they wouldn’t make it.
