There's a bit of dialogue (few playthroughs manage to reach it) which explains that he's married to Megg of Mother Megg's Buttery Goods. She thinks he's going senile because he keeps talking about a little yellow man coming down his chimney...
This is one of my favorite indie games of all time. It’s such a joy watching people play it… it brings back the joy of playing it myself 😂 I think this is a classic, as far as cartoon-style games go.
@@carronline1 Honestly, while this game shines brightest when you can appreciate the cultural context of the jokes... it's just got _such_ good comedic timing that you don't even need it, which is great.
It's so nice to see someone actually listening to and laughing at the jokes. A lot of people I've watched either talk over them, skip people entirely, or completely miss the punchline.
But nobody ever gets the locksmiths "every morning I take a big wee, then get out of of bed" bit 😢😢 it's quite literally the funniest written thing in the game 😭😭❤️
@@Sapemies58theres so many jokes that people are going to miss a lot of them, i havent seen anyone that noticed the boss taped his hair as we see him balding from the pictures, or that the granny got a literal "sausage dog"
My hobby as of late is watching people from the north of England play this game. I’m not English but I find the fame really charming and enjoy the culture.
Loved your playthrough, but you missed Bish's best bit! That floppy fish, if you hit it 3 times he...finishes. and says "Reggies Wife could learn a thing or two"
Just wanted to let you know several things about this game, in case you ever happen to replay it: 1.) You can help the guy trying to open his store shutter at the beginning by repeated slapping the shutter. This actually kicks off a small "side quest" (if you can call it that), where you come back to him and slap down what he's selling. Won't spoil what any of that is, it's worth seeing on your own. 2.) Characters tend to get new dialogue after every major event or if you revisit an area, so it pays to go see what everyone's up to again. It also pays to slap people repeated, as you noticed characters tend to have more dialogue when you slap them more than once. Most characters just have two lines, but in my experience, it pays to be thorough and just slap everything a whole bunch! In particular I recommend slapping the "WOW" sign when you first visit Bish's stall. 3.) For some reason, when I played the game, the box labeled "ashes (dead wife)" said something different, along the lines of "strands of hair 'too noticeable' to put in pies" or something like that. Maybe it's random? Or perhaps they changed it via an update. Same goes for crashing in on Herbert the Gardener a second time, when I played it he seemed to be talking to the guy barbecuing bread, but here he's like "hang on, this isn't even plugged in", which I honestly think it's funnier. 4.) Not something related to replaying, but the song the rats were singing was an old folksong called "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at". This song actually plays throughout the game, including in the waiting room at City Hall, in the home of Roy (the poor guy who keeps cleaning up after you go down his chimney), in that cheese church, and during the credits. 5.) The asbestos guy didn't get ill from the asbestos, he got third degree burns from the oil spewing out of the fountain after Jasper fixed Maggie's fryer. He even says "I'll tell you what, asbestos never gave anyone third degree burns!" if you slap him in that state. The same thing happened to the guy who kept kicking Ronny's bike. 6.) 1:45:44 OK, not sure why the screen went black, a cutscene was supposed to play where Jasper sucked out back out with a plunger, and the other construction workers were the ones laughing at him requesting you to get "spirit level bubbles". Must have been a bug, hopefully that gets patched. 7.) Aww man, it looks like you didn't notice Bish's reaction to when you smacked a certain "fish tail" at 2:06:03. Next time you play this game, try whacking it repeatedly... Go ahead, see what happens. :) 8.) You missed it before going to the pub, but while in the market, Roger had a heart-to-heart talk with Big Ron over his large head that's actually really heartwarming. It makes him joking about his head at the pub all the sweeter (and Herbert's comment all the funnier)! 9.) One final thing: there's actually an alternate ending if you actually wait to see the mayor at the beginning. It actually only takes 15 minutes if you want to give it a try. Anyway, really funny game, this is! (Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two!)
The box at Big Ron's says different thing depending on your subtitle language (Dialect vs. English). The toast guy phone gag plays only if you slap him every time you pass through the area.
It is entirely random from playthrough to playthrough to keep you playing, like the poster in the area under Bish’s will say different warnings about liminal spaces.
I'm still yet to find someone who reacted to the Fridge Stoat gag on 16:17, he sits on the box labeled "Gloria's Whole Wheat" (Glory Hole) and makes a joke about being frigid. Imagine how many other little gags go unnoticed.
@@calyx8808 well it is a game of british humour and cheeky subtle (sometimes not so subtle) innuendo. Like the gag where a guy is sticking his sausage through a hole in the fence offering it to you (another gloryhole sexual reference). Stoat is a slang term, which means "aimlessly wandering", he's an actual stoat and states he's a Fridge Stoat, he sits in a box of Gloria's Whole Wheat (gloryhole) implying he is searching for spontaneous sexual adventures with strangers through said hole. He remarks that he's awfully frigid (not feeling much pleasure from the act) which also doubles as saying its cold in there, but then realizes he made himself sound like a chump and downplays it saying he's actually quite a stud and blames the temperature in the fridge for that instead.
Something I’ve never seen most people make the connection on is that Doug the rug salesman talks about how his dead wife’s name is Janice and the guy with the beans on the sill looks around when the beans fall as though it were from an unseen force and says, “Janice?!”
at 3:36 we see a a shot of Eldon St and May Day Green in Barnsley from the 1960s. in the back of the shot of May Day Green, you can see Eldon St at the back and Kendray St going of to the right. i know this as i walk those streets almost every day
You could play this game through a second time and still find things you missed the first time around. Everything has multiple interactions. It's such a funny game!
i've seen quite a few playthroughs of this game and I've never seen a cutscene break like that XD When you were pulled backwards out of the pipe it was supposed to be that scottish bloke jasper givin you another quest but it was just a black screen XD
This game is great purely on its own, but it just gets SO MUCH BETTER when it's actually being played by Brits, especially those old enough to actually remember the setting!
OMG I can't believe after all that he missed Bish with his thing in a fish!!!! 😭 Damn it seems he also missed big Ron shearing up Rog. It's fine at least I'll see them all in the pub!
I swear I've watched like eight people play this game by now, hopefully when I can get a PS5 or thank goodness you're here comes to mobile. I have my hopes up even though untitled goose game never made it to mobile. Fun fact, Roy and Meg are a couple, if you go into her shop at some point after going through Roy's chimney a few times she mentions that he's complaining about a tiny man going through his chimney and it's getting on her nerves because she doesn't believe him.
As an American, who comes from a mostly English family, and lived in England a short while, I find it funny that I already knew it would be pronounced with maybe a questionable "Th" on thanks and absolutely no "H" on here "Thank goodness you're ear". Yet we Americans call "herbs" "erbs" and you call them "herbs". lol
You can actually finish this game within 15 minutes - just wait for the mayor to call you in his office.... I think it takes 15 or so minutes for it to happen.
26:11 I maybe a Yank meself, but I know enough about the world to know that isn't that car having the wheel on the wrong side of it; seeing as this is the UK and they do the opposite driving wise?
No offense but i had to come down here to comment this... How do you forget you can jump like 6 minutes into the game after doing it literally moments before...
I do enjoy wacthing people from the north play this game, I am from the south so I get some of the references but I am sure some went straight over my head
Audio volume corrected at 2:27
Thank you HillJoseph, this HillJoseph2 guy is such a goober
I love the poor fireplace guy. He’s so nice, and he tries so hard not to get angry. 😂 "oh, you little dusty gentleman you"
There's a bit of dialogue (few playthroughs manage to reach it) which explains that he's married to Megg of Mother Megg's Buttery Goods. She thinks he's going senile because he keeps talking about a little yellow man coming down his chimney...
Everyone always feels so bad for him
@@ethanlivemere1162 I feel sorry for him because he seems to be the most normal person of them all.
Ngl I’ve watched like 20 play throughs of this game and my favorites are when people are from the area 😂
Its always funnier when people get the jokes ....southerners just dont tend to understand 😂
alot of americans i seen just dont get it and most try to play on the dialect setting and then complain they dont understand what stuff says
This is one of my favorite indie games of all time. It’s such a joy watching people play it… it brings back the joy of playing it myself 😂

@@carronline1also i’m an american and understood 95% of it. I went to uni in england for a year. Not all of us are dumb; it’s a pretty big country.

Jacksepticeye's playthrough is another one where he actually gets through the whole thing without skipping or talking over them

Oh man same. If you've got recommendations for others, I'd love to know!

Incredible 🤣🤣
Poor Reggie 😂
1:42:24 "I finished them all off. The big one needed both hands." Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two
The perpetual forgetting you could jump over that fence at the start was funny

@@RX_AzZotik Thank you! I only know that phrase from glassblowing.
This game has so much to offer, but the legend of poor Reggie and his wife needing to learn a thing or two is comedy gold.
Something I’ve never seen most people make the connection on is that Doug the rug salesman talks about how his dead wife’s name is Janice and the guy with the beans on the sill looks around when the beans fall as though it were from an unseen force and says, “Janice?!”
Legit the only time the phrase "legal tender" is ever used irl is when a Scot is defendng their banknotes

Its always fun watching people from round here play this ....cos you get the jokes
But its funnier watching Americans faces as they play it 😂
American who went to uni in England, here. My face as i played it was pretty much, crying with laughter 😂
ngl seeing bro jumping up n down earlier only to forget how to jump when he saw a fence was kinda funny to
The song was On Ilka Moor Baht'at, the official anthem of Yorkshire.
Theme from Sharpe is better 😂
I was lookin' away fer a moment an legit thought you were one of the NPC's at the start there.
I keep watching people play this even though it's like 80% dialogue but the dialogue is so good. XD
You could play this game through a second time and still find things you missed the first time around. Everything has multiple interactions. It's such a funny game!
Gotta love how different everyone’s playthrough is XD

I played this game last month and since then whenever I go to the shop I do the hand thing and go "Bye bye shopkeep!" I can't help myself
I haven’t seen the game this funny in a long time 😂
1:50:00
I ain't milk shy no more.
I am milk disgusted.
This is “MY FAVORITE” of the playthroughs…….
I WAS FIGHTING HIVE KNIGHT WHILE WATCHIBG THIS AND I THOUGHT ISELDA SOMEHOW GOT INTO THE FIGHT
This is the most English game of all time.
OMG I can't believe after all that he missed Bish with his thing in a fish!!!! 😭
Damn it seems he also missed big Ron shearing up Rog. It's fine at least I'll see them all in the pub!
thanks for the northie perspective! RUclips randomly recommended this
Loved your reactions anorl 😆
In the words of the immortal Sean Bean:

Aye Lass proper game at last

Can't believe Nick's Bricks is just completely shut off if you miss it in the first act 😦
You can actually finish this game within 15 minutes - just wait for the mayor to call you in his office.... I think it takes 15 or so minutes for it to happen.
how no one notice larrys license in the back of the bar
26:11 I maybe a Yank meself, but I know enough about the world to know that isn't that car having the wheel on the wrong side of it; seeing as this is the UK and they do the opposite driving wise?

I’ll be honest, had chat not told me to try jumping over the fence, that grass would have stayed un-mowed to this day
Happens to the best of us man. That being said, loved the vid.
Haha he catches on soon enough! Reggie’s wife could learn a thing or two
