Not just any drop like. Next year he might do the oasis brothers as they had wibbling rivalry reach the 90's charts with them just slinging shid at each other.
@@Carnivore301 🤣 after seeing an image I immediately knew as it's kind of a similar expression. though there's some difference between just taking it and being queer. 90% do overlap, but trust me there's takers you don't wanna mess with.
Can confirm, twins have a weird psychic link. I’ve watched my mom and her twin sister do the same thing as the Krays did during their visits; barely a word shared but you’ll see them give each other a look and just start snickering. My mom and her sister don’t even need to converse to show up places wearing near identical outfits, all the way down to color and pattern.
My great grandad was a twin, when his brother died, he woke up that day, said I need to go to hospital, and his brother died, and he gave the nurse a shock as she thought he woke up from the dead.
@@hariman7727 they don’t. People like to think they have individuality but in truth your individual self is a byproduct of your environment and how you were raised. Twins often times are raised like they are the same person, as a result they grow up to be almost as if they are the same person with minor disparities between the two. I’ve met plenty of twins who don’t get along or aren’t very similar, and when you look into their lives you find they were raised around different interests and people. With different friends, different relationships with their parents and possibly other siblings and with different show/movies/toys/video games/books/hobbies. There is no psychic link, you don’t need to be a twin, you just need to be raised very close to someone for most of your life or at least for your childhood.
@@georgehoffman3439sheer coincidence. And often times that’s all it is. And it’s not hard to believe that. I’ve heard many similar stories where the twin does not know.
I have a fun bit of personal history relating to The Krays, There is a picture in a museum near me, it's the Krays sitting at a table in a kitchen with a woman bringing them a cup of tea, the woman in that picture is my Nan! picture was taken by my auntie. Absolutely no idea how that picture ended up there (couldn't ask my auntie as she'd passed away young) I brought in some proof to the museum that the woman in the picture is my nan, they let me have the original and they now have a copy on display, it's still there :) She lived in the same street as them XD Back in them days you could knock on your neighbor's door for a cuppa tea or watch tv (as most homes's didn't have t'vs so it wasn't uncommon for people to go to someone's home to watch telly and everyone pretty much knew everyone). Just a cool little fact :)
fun fact: while in the asylum, ronnie met michael "charles bronson" peterson. according to michael, ronnie asked michael to punch him as hard as possible. he did. and ronnie absolutely loved it and was in awe of his savagery. 😅
I don't know if that's true bronson done a document recently on channle 4 and he was on about that and that it was just some guy on the wing it wasn't one of the twins check the document out just Google it or check out channle 4 catch up or what ever it's called unless the cray also done that too but I highly doubt it
Family members of mine went to school with the Krays and my uncle used to bodyguard for them. Something not many people know about the Kray twins is in school they were both incredibly strange, quiet and they kept to themselves growing up, nobody who knew them as kids expected them to go down the path they did
Yep thats not uncommon with people that have greatness in them (even if batshit). One of my childhood acquaintainces and then also was my school mate became world tier musician/producer. Won't say who for privacy's sake because I think it's poor form boasting about this. Suffice to say he was a nerdy guy that one day became obsessed with hip hop. We kind of laughed it off when we were all on break and he started rapping and stuff. Well he sure showed us. He was always a down to earth guy, my parents and aunt+uncle knew his parents since before I was born and for a very long time kept in touch. Just shows you that you never know.
pedophiles, their own friends have said in recent years they used to bang eachother and their first kill was a boy they taught to box, killed him to prevent him telling anyone they were both gay pedophiles
Ronnie Kray wanted to be "somebody" I'd say being able to walk into a public place in the middle of the day and blowing someone's brains out, and having no one dare cross you is at least in the realm of being "somebody"
That was an interesting way of taking pretty much the exact joke Dankula made, and just changing the words around enough to totally make it your own hilarious joke that you thought up with no inspiration ever cuz everyone’s a genius now lol 😄
that drawing is actually pretty good. the hardest parts of the human anatomy to draw are the hands and eyes. although its only fingers and not a whole hand, the fingers are rendered fairly well (the angles are off) and the eye is very good. shame he didn't start drawing earlier because he had some very real potential. who knew there was an actual artist inside Reggie Kray? not Reg, that's for sure.
Reggie never drew that picture it was somebody else who drew it and reg would just put his signature to it, reggie kray couldn't paint or draw for Sh1t.
I was rather disappointed with his introduction of YOU'RE BOY RAID SHADOW LEGENDS! Normally it makes me chuckle but today, he just didn't put any effort into it, smfh.
I just wanna put this out there, if Raid is gonna create in game characters based on real people, there definitely needs to be a Celtic themed Count Dankula character
almost as good as a full length, somewhat accurate film about the krays starring tom hardy lol. it's called _legend_ if you haven't seen it and it's sooo good.
My Grandfather Geoff Lawrance fought their Grandfather in the bare knuckle boxing circles. And The Krays themselves it’s rumoured. What’s crazy is. He became a beat cop and later a bailiff in the London Met. And one of his summons/attempted arrests was none other than the Krays. London was a crazy place back in the days.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! 🎊
Thats was excellent. I lived in East London, grew up there, and it certainly FELT a lot different as I recall. Just people doing things as people do. As a kid, none of it really affected me, felt strange reading about places I knew in the papers when they did something attrocious, but we never really were afftected.
God bless you for doing this; the education, laughs combined into one is truly appreciated. Please if your willing provide more Celtic mythology videos.
Hey Dank!, that "Cigarette Punch" of one of the twins is called an "ooda loop interrupter" and basically it short circuits your target(or attacker's) decision making "loop", one of my favourites is to whisper "the wall outside my house isnae blue though", it kinda freezes people on the spot for that vital second, I have a mate who used to put a very old, very battered gumshield in his mouth if shit was about to kick off, it either scared people right to fuck off, or froze them(by the way, may I reccomend Geoff Thompson as a Mad Lad video(that's where my mate got the idea, his book "watch my back" is an incredible story, and the movie they made from it will show people how old school bouncers(who were not all just cunts despite people's stories!) worked. Geoff's story is an admirable journey from pure warrior, to Sensei and Teacher. Love the video's, keep it up(the Govnor, Lennie Mc Clean, would be another great story)
@@faves36 He did?? Crap, I honestly don't remember if I've seen it already or not. I just subbed to his channel a few months ago, and was doing a binge watch when I had the flu, so it's all a little foggy, lol Thanks man!
Great work, sir. This is probably the most accessible and damn near the most exhaustive video about the Krays (as seen in that one movie). I love them all.
The Kray movie from the 80s was how I first heard of them. As much as I like that movie, it only scratched the surface of their insane reign. It does have the cutlass scene in it though and that is awesome
I’ve just recently discovered your channel and your Mad Lads series and I love it man! You’re like a Scottish Paul Harvey that gives us the rest of the story on total badasses!
Alan Moore loved the Krays so much, he took all the fictional stand-ins for the Krays ( including Doug and Dinsdale Piranha, the Python version ) and , in CENTURY: 1969, he send them all into a turf war. Such fun.
My man's finally about to be at 1 million subs , definitely deserved. The amount of work and dedication has been crazy. I remember when we got a mad-lads every few months if lucky. Love yeah man , will always watch.
It was not that long ago I would read and watch everything I could about the Kray Twins. I had always been fascinated with the power structure of American gangsters and watched the old films before finding a 5 book series on a car boot sale about the twins. Sadly each book was different than the last about the same stories told over and over and I think only those who ran with them will ever know the truth. Your video even picked up some things I had not heard so thank you for making it.
I have it on damn good authority that he did amazingly well in legend. My Nan was a friend of the twins, and can’t stop raving about how well he captured Ronnie specifically, but that he was great as both.
Some other underrated Mad Lads from various points in history who don’t get spoken enough about, that would also make for phenomenal videos are: Jeffrey Bernard Ian Cognito Alan Conway Gabriele D'Annunzio Sir Francis Dashwood Mad Sam DeStefano Diogenes Bill Drummond John Elwes Bobby Fischer Keith Floyd Mad Frankie Fraser Pim Fortuyn Hetty Green Malcolm Hardee Alex ‘Hurricane’ Higgins Carlos Kaiser Khutulum Klaus Kinski Victor Lustig Yukio Mishima Monster Raving Loony Party John Mytton Emperor Norton Hiroo Onoda Juhayman al-Otaybi John Otway Sam Peckinpah Rollen Stewart aka Rainbow Man Peter Storey Rip Torn Wilhelm Voigt You’ll genuinely enjoy researching all of these Mad Lads haha!
Hey count dankula I just wanted to say I watch you’re videos on a weekly basis and they’re absolutely awesome. The level of detail and comedic relief you put into each one is just astounding. On that note though I would like to make a request for a future mad lad, or mad lads. The persons in question is John Joel Glanton and the glanton gang, a group of mercenaries and scalp hunters who traveled through Mexico between 1848 and 1850. They were hired by the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua to hunt apaches that were terrorizing the local population and collect their scalps as “receipts” that could then be traded for 100 pesos a pop. This was unsurprisingly very lucrative until the Apache adapted their tactics into hit and run attacks to minimize casualties, resulting in the gang attacking peaceful natives because you can’t exactly tell the difference between a peaceful and aggressive scalp. Along with that they would also hunt and kill the Mexican locals they were hired to protect, including women and children and sell those scalps as well. Eventually the Mexican states grew wise to the brutal scam and the gang was forced to flee to Yuma crossing in modern day Arizona where they took control of a ferry from a man named Lincoln who may or may not have been a distant of cousin of president Abraham Lincoln. They either strong armed their way into unofficial ownership of the ferry after murdering and scalping the Yuma natives who operated it and intimidated Lincoln into surrendering or killed him and took over but either way they spent the next few months robbing and killing travelers to the crossing and stealing their money until a group of Quechan natives attacked the gang and killed them all, scalping glanton in revenge. Most of the historical basis for the story comes from a guy named Samuel chamberlain who wrote an autobiography titled my confession, recollections of a rogue about his time in the gang and as a veteran of the Mexican American war. His experiences were later adapted into the book Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. The creepiest thing though is Glanton’s second in command, a 6 foot 6, nearly 300 pound albino man who was completely hairless named Judge Holden who was incredibly intelligent, an expert marksman, astute geologist and historian, fantastic linguist, extremely charismatic and also excessively cruel and depraved. It was noted by Chamberlain that wherever they went children either went missing or showed up dead and violated and Holden was known to be one of the only survivors of the Glanton massacre. His presence was noteworthy enough to warrant him become the main villain of McCarthy’s book. If you happen to read this thank you and please consider this story for you’re channel
Bro these past few weeks have been a holiday extravaganza of excellent and interesting videos. Thanks Daddy dank. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
they live in the cycle of draining some cash out of new accounts while feeding ads to them, sponsoring good youtubers and showing investors that good youtubers are putting them in their videos its stupid as fuck but it works and somehow, everyone except the people that click the links make money
Growing up, I had two twin black cats called Ronnie and Reggie. They really had similar personalities to the Kray brothers. One was a boisterous, incredibly vocal and thuggish Tom while the other was a cynical and intelligent poser. Loved them to bits. Didn't realise they were named after the two most prevalent East End gangsters until I was in my teens. As a young English man, I know loads of people with personal experiences with the Krays and they really did live up to their legacy going by the stories I've heard. Mental that they had so much power and became feared and revered everywhere. Thank you Dank for this phenominal feature length video. You deserve a rest: your videos just keep getting better and better and I hope my next pet is a pug. Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a brilliant New Year! ✨🎉🎆🎇
Waiting for the day this man finally drops a video on euronymous/varg/mayhem and the whole black metal scene at the time, would make for a wild and fantastic video
Legend was one of the best films ever made in the new millennium, in my opinion. Tom Hardy is absolutely PERFECT in every facet, and the film is shot flawlessly. I love the film more than yoy can imagine and watch it at LEAST twice a year.
Hey Dankula, loved your take on the Don Alejo story a while back. It would be cool to get your take on another story about “El Marino Loko” the crazy sailor. Definitely a legend in Mexico.
Are you for real they was confirmed paedophiles and you say legends any documentary worth watching about the krays all state this now its been long established by anyone who knew them
This video is the first opportunity I've had to be in the first thousand likes, let alone the second. Mad lads is one of my favorite channels and I want to thank you for all of your work sir!

Almost at 1 MILLION!!! I have been here for years and I haven't regretted it, keep up the awesome work! Now let's hit 2M
He's at 1 mil now.
@@plick645 as long as it's not at 1.1 , you can't be sure if he actually got past 1 mil. RUclips has a weird way with numbers.
I like the honesty of just wanting to get the video finished. It makes it more human
Dank you made 2022 better for me just being able to tune into your videos would always put a smile on my face.
Thats was excellent. I lived in East London, grew up there, and it certainly FELT a lot different as I recall. Just people doing things as people do. As a kid, none of it really affected me, felt strange reading about places I knew in the papers when they did something attrocious, but we never really were afftected.
Movie-length mad lads is the perfect holiday gift.
Weird that this is the first time Dank has covered crazy twins, so many throughout history
I've only ever heard of the Krays lol. Do spill... thank you.
Name two
You're a master of story telling. So good.
great video again, and well done for bringing Charlie Kray to the story, a lot of people have missed that
Only five minutes in and I was like "Holy shit, it's the Piranha brothers. They nailed my head to the floor!"
God bless you for doing this; the education, laughs combined into one is truly appreciated. Please if your willing provide more Celtic mythology videos.
Hey Dank!,
that "Cigarette Punch" of one of the twins is called an "ooda loop interrupter" and basically it short circuits your target(or attacker's) decision making "loop", one of my favourites is to whisper "the wall outside my house isnae blue though", it kinda freezes people on the spot for that vital second, I have a mate who used to put a very old, very battered gumshield in his mouth if shit was about to kick off, it either scared people right to fuck off, or froze them(by the way, may I reccomend Geoff Thompson as a Mad Lad video(that's where my mate got the idea, his book "watch my back" is an incredible story, and the movie they made from it will show people how old school bouncers(who were not all just cunts despite people's stories!) worked.
Geoff's story is an admirable journey from pure warrior, to Sensei and Teacher.
Love the video's, keep it up(the Govnor, Lennie Mc Clean, would be another great story)
He done McLean a few videos back
@@kennethgibson456 Nice one Kenneth!,
will have a gander at it now!
I love these. I want to let you know that your delivery is great. The story always flows and there’s no “um”s like ever. Great job as always :)
Thank you Daddy Dank for this long overdue one.
@Darth Pepe It'd be awesome to see him do a Mad Lad video about Sawney Bean, and all the rest of the cannibals in that Clan.
@@BasementPepperoni it’s your lucky day buddy: Dank did that in the early mad lad days
@@faves36 He did?? Crap, I honestly don't remember if I've seen it already or not. I just subbed to his channel a few months ago, and was doing a binge watch when I had the flu, so it's all a little foggy, lol
Thanks man!
@darthpepe2994 for real?
@@homelessman3483 no.
As an American Gen X-er, I had no frame of reference for the Kray Twins, other than I think a Monty Python sketch or two. Thank you for the clarity.
Great work, sir. This is probably the most accessible and damn near the most exhaustive video about the Krays (as seen in that one movie).
I love them all.
The Kray movie from the 80s was how I first heard of them. As much as I like that movie, it only scratched the surface of their insane reign. It does have the cutlass scene in it though and that is awesome
I’ve just recently discovered your channel and your Mad Lads series and I love it man! You’re like a Scottish Paul Harvey that gives us the rest of the story on total badasses!
Prepare for trouble *make it double* had me fuckin WHEEZING
YES FINALLY! I WAS WAITING FOR WHEN WE'LL SEE THE KRAYS IN MAD LADS!! 😁
Confirmed bad beasts they both was
The pedo twins
Goin' for the longform Dankumentary I see. Lovin' it.
Alan Moore loved the Krays so much, he took all the fictional stand-ins for the Krays ( including Doug and Dinsdale Piranha, the Python version ) and , in CENTURY: 1969, he send them all into a turf war. Such fun.
This series of history profiles is tremendously engaging and informative. Thank you.
The Krays, so tough they could only fight with their friends and with weapons
My man's finally about to be at 1 million subs , definitely deserved. The amount of work and dedication has been crazy. I remember when we got a mad-lads every few months if lucky. Love yeah man , will always watch.
"Daddy Dank please give me a spank."

Amen to that brother.
I'm so glad to have watched you grow dank you've been a blessing to me and got me through some dark times god bless you and madlads forever!
1 MILLION SUBS!!! I knew this day would come. Enjoy your plaque, brother. You deserve it! Much love from the U.S.
It was not that long ago I would read and watch everything I could about the Kray Twins. I had always been fascinated with the power structure of American gangsters and watched the old films before finding a 5 book series on a car boot sale about the twins. Sadly each book was different than the last about the same stories told over and over and I think only those who ran with them will ever know the truth. Your video even picked up some things I had not heard so thank you for making it.
Tom Hardy as the Kray twins did a good job in Legend
Edit: thanks for the many likes see you all in 2023. Greetings from a Mexican Yankee 🇺🇸🇲🇽
He did an excellent job. If I had no knowledge of who Hardy was beforehand, I'd have thought there were really twins acting.
He was also amazing in Bronson
My only complaint is that Hardy sounds like Bane in almost every role he plays since Batman.
one of my favorite movies of all time
I have it on damn good authority that he did amazingly well in legend.
My Nan was a friend of the twins, and can’t stop raving about how well he captured Ronnie specifically, but that he was great as both.
Very admirable you taking the bullet keeping your dog from a sentence in Battersea.
Sooo close to a milli for the new year. Keep it pushing my lord of Dankness
The cigarette punch. Now that's what i call a sucker punch.
I recently found this channel, and I'm staying. You have a terrific delivery. Thanks for coming to work! ❤️☘️ ( Good stuff son )
Oh it’s like you knew I needed quality content, with a fantastic brogue, that allowed me to get work done at the same time!

Hey count dankula I just wanted to say I watch you’re videos on a weekly basis and they’re absolutely awesome. The level of detail and comedic relief you put into each one is just astounding. On that note though I would like to make a request for a future mad lad, or mad lads. The persons in question is John Joel Glanton and the glanton gang, a group of mercenaries and scalp hunters who traveled through Mexico between 1848 and 1850. They were hired by the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua to hunt apaches that were terrorizing the local population and collect their scalps as “receipts” that could then be traded for 100 pesos a pop. This was unsurprisingly very lucrative until the Apache adapted their tactics into hit and run attacks to minimize casualties, resulting in the gang attacking peaceful natives because you can’t exactly tell the difference between a peaceful and aggressive scalp. Along with that they would also hunt and kill the Mexican locals they were hired to protect, including women and children and sell those scalps as well. Eventually the Mexican states grew wise to the brutal scam and the gang was forced to flee to Yuma crossing in modern day Arizona where they took control of a ferry from a man named Lincoln who may or may not have been a distant of cousin of president Abraham Lincoln. They either strong armed their way into unofficial ownership of the ferry after murdering and scalping the Yuma natives who operated it and intimidated Lincoln into surrendering or killed him and took over but either way they spent the next few months robbing and killing travelers to the crossing and stealing their money until a group of Quechan natives attacked the gang and killed them all, scalping glanton in revenge. Most of the historical basis for the story comes from a guy named Samuel chamberlain who wrote an autobiography titled my confession, recollections of a rogue about his time in the gang and as a veteran of the Mexican American war. His experiences were later adapted into the book Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. The creepiest thing though is Glanton’s second in command, a 6 foot 6, nearly 300 pound albino man who was completely hairless named Judge Holden who was incredibly intelligent, an expert marksman, astute geologist and historian, fantastic linguist, extremely charismatic and also excessively cruel and depraved. It was noted by Chamberlain that wherever they went children either went missing or showed up dead and violated and Holden was known to be one of the only survivors of the Glanton massacre. His presence was noteworthy enough to warrant him become the main villain of McCarthy’s book. If you happen to read this thank you and please consider this story for you’re channel
You can flush a liver down a toilet? Huh, good to know. In case I ever run across a disembodied liver I don't know what to do with.

“His liver fell out” could be a new thing.
Bro these past few weeks have been a holiday extravaganza of excellent and interesting videos. Thanks Daddy dank. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
He's not your Dad.
@@pauperslament3467 im pretty sure its meant as an affectionate title and not that hes his biological father
@@pauperslament3467 What do you know about the genetic spread of this highly desirable Scotsman? Anybody could be his son.
I cant believe enough people play raid for them to still be sponsoring people all of this time.
It’s almost like they received government funding or something to subsidise their game to get it on as many phones as possible… 🤔
they live in the cycle of draining some cash out of new accounts while feeding ads to them, sponsoring good youtubers and showing investors that good youtubers are putting them in their videos
its stupid as fuck but it works and somehow, everyone except the people that click the links make money
I’m adamant it’s a money laundering company
@@UltraProchy bruh you've obviously never heard of "whales" and Microtransactions... Net marble does it too
I tried it but it’s literally so boring they added an autoplay function so you can play without even needing to play yourself.
You never mentioned their success with Spandau Ballet in the 80s, they had a few hits.
No idea why I am just now finding your channel but I have so much to watch now! Thanks for making these awesome videos.
Dang, you're in for a treat then, enjoy!
I shouldn’t have gotten upset when Dank pronounced “Los Pollos” as los pollos instead of poyos… but hey-ho here we are.
The mans a scot what can ye expect
You could say that these lads are so mad that they're "kray kray" 😂
Nice hehe
"OMG! Who just robbed my store!"
"Oh? Thats Kray, Kray"
Growing up, I had two twin black cats called Ronnie and Reggie. They really had similar personalities to the Kray brothers. One was a boisterous, incredibly vocal and thuggish Tom while the other was a cynical and intelligent poser. Loved them to bits.
Didn't realise they were named after the two most prevalent East End gangsters until I was in my teens. As a young English man, I know loads of people with personal experiences with the Krays and they really did live up to their legacy going by the stories I've heard. Mental that they had so much power and became feared and revered everywhere.
Thank you Dank for this phenominal feature length video. You deserve a rest: your videos just keep getting better and better and I hope my next pet is a pug. Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a brilliant New Year! ✨🎉🎆🎇
Tom Hardy and his brother Yom Tardy did a great in the movie Legend
I laughed way too hard at this joke
Yom Tardy even sounds like a British name 😂
Waiting for the day this man finally drops a video on euronymous/varg/mayhem and the whole black metal scene at the time, would make for a wild and fantastic video
I’m so glad he finally did a video on the Krays. Greatest gangsters to ever live
Listening for a long time. Love from western Pennsylvania. Ur one of my hero's. Dankula the "mad lad"
Legend was one of the best films ever made in the new millennium, in my opinion. Tom Hardy is absolutely PERFECT in every facet, and the film is shot flawlessly.
I love the film more than yoy can imagine and watch it at LEAST twice a year.
My late Grandfather was a prison guard at Brixton and he was there the day that the Kray Twins were brought in.
Was he the one that beat them into a pulp?
@@jamegumb7298 No, my Grandfather was not a violent man. He in fact befriended many inmates in his time, one of which came to his funeral.
you should do a video on Frank Sheeran or Henry Hill next, keep the mafia related theme going.
Happy new year Marcus thanks for the brilliant years entertainment again. You keep us all smiling lol
Your imitation of Ronnie was spot on. I almost choked on my drink..
Holy shit! I haven't even watched this movie yet and I'm too excited! Bustin out the popcorn and throwin this up on the big screen!!!
Hey Dankula, loved your take on the Don Alejo story a while back. It would be cool to get your take on another story about “El Marino Loko” the crazy sailor. Definitely a legend in Mexico.
Please this would be great
Let's go!!! About time these legends made it onto the list
Are you for real they was confirmed paedophiles and you say legends any documentary worth watching about the krays all state this now its been long established by anyone who knew them
@@Tom-uv7ry Bad people can still be legendary
One of your best Mad Lads yet!! Happy New Year's Dank!
What a way to end 2022. With an hour plus video about the Krays.
Happy New Year, you Legend.
Congrats on 1 million, brother. Have a great 2023!
Why do things keep getting worse as time goes on? Thank you for this epic mad lad
Bc progress is not only a spook, it's an arse-backwards spook
@@corneliuscapitalinus845 I'll keep that in mind
Someone said the other day... Right up until social media kicked off everything was fine...
@@HonestBottom I agree
We’re in the Kali Yuga that’s why
Been waitn´ for this one! Thanks dank for top notch content, never fails to inform and entertain. ^^
This video is the first opportunity I've had to be in the first thousand likes, let alone the second. Mad lads is one of my favorite channels and I want to thank you for all of your work sir!
Mad lads dont get excited about likes.
@@Dime_time333 is that why everyone always says "like and comment" before every video?
@@hunterphille1280 no thats greed talking
@@Dime_time333 ah
cant believe they made a film from this episode of mad lads, mental
