Joe was never actually sacked. He did the first couple of series as an assistant, then the running joke was that he had been sacked but he kept turning up to cause mayhem.
"Since you fired me, you prick..."
@@davidhlennon I think it will still carry on. You've got Jimmy, Jon, Rachael and Susy as regulars. Sean will be missed, but the show will still work. I will miss his elaborate new business ideas instead of mascots though :-)
@@davidhlennon They'd already replaced him with Rob Becket for the last season as Shaun was too ill.
@@richardgoddard37 *Sean (cf Michael McIntyre's bit about different spellings of the same name :D)
@ yeah you're right. Shaun is how my friend spells it.
Deffo train, hardly anyone in UK uses the word trail. Nothing better than jumping on train, heading in to London or Brighton and taking a few cans with you to pass the time and get pissed before actually arriving.
Plenty people in the UK use the word 'trail', just within proper context. Was defo 'train' within the skit.
Yeah, you say "nothing better" but you forget about the bears..
Did that the other week.
Yup, it's train ^^ let's not make a thing of it though :>
Best way to see London.
i love the justification that "trail makes more sense" while watching a bear carrying beers around a gameshow
Haha i was just about to say that!
Ethan, your wife is always right. It’s train.
We do have quite a lot of ‘trails’ but no bears
TRAIN......... In a lot of shows you can drink after the watershed which is 9pm.
You can drink on a lot of British trains tooo :)
@@Kris_T_ Just not drive them at the same time though! 😀
@@susanashcroft2674 now you tell me
@Graham Moore I thought about that after I posted, they drink cocktails on This Morning, so it's not really after the watershed.
@@Kris_T_ but they drink wine on this morning
Joe's sacking wasn't real, it was all part of a story arc.
When the show started he was Rachel's "assistant", got "sacked", then came back as a contestant. Always funny when he's on.
It's all very pro-wrestling kayfabe. I love it.
There's a lot of lore to remember for the Joe Wilkinson Cinematic Universe.
You can definitely drink on TV in the UK, talk shows like Alan Carr's Chatty Man and The Graham Norton Show offer the guests drinks all the time
It used to be, and it may still be the case, that you can’t drink on American broadcast tv, but cable isn’t subject to the same FCC rules. Have you ever seen Drunk History?
Jimmy Carr once guested on Alan Carr's show, and said most shows had fake drinks with no alcohol, but not Alan Carr's show.
@@chestnut01111 Even Jimmy Carr's show 8 Out of 10 Cats? I've seen them serve drinks on that show.. Also Cats/Countdown.
they drink on the stephen colbert show in america, he's often offering guests drinks. I guess it's just not such a big thing in american life, whereas in the UK it's pretty rare to spend an evening with friends without a drink or 3
The US calls itself "land of the free" with a straight face but, let's be honest with ourselves, without the freedoms to drink and swear where you want have *bugger all* :-)
I’ve never seen Sean Lock crack up like that. Rest In Peace Sean.
A British person would never call it a trail, would use something like path. Differently train.
So you have never heard of the Camel Trial In Cornwall, Tramway Trail again in Cornwall, Burns Trail in Ayrshire. So never is not correct, but we often use "way" such as "The Ridge Way" / "Pligrims Way"or as you have said "Path" as in "The Coastal Path", trail is used.
@@nudal9993 I had never heard of any of those before, thanks for the lesson.
@@nudal9993 Those trails are in the sense of tours, not trails as Americans would see them.
No question…he said “we met on the train up ‘ere” which is a common phrase. Trail is an American phrase than Joe definitely wouldn’t use, even in relation to meeting a bear.
Joe being fired was a joke. He actually came on even more often after his supposed "firing".
I suspect Joe did write the poem himself, I think the main reason he was laughing so much was the reaction of everyone around him, especially Sean. In fact, Sean totally losing it is just as funny as the poem itself. If Joe did write it, it must have given him great satisfaction, reducing Sean to laughing so hard, he wanted it to stop. lol
Sorry Ethan he said Train. You did make me smile when you asked if over here if people are allowed to drink on news or other programmes. I can't imagine a UK news reader with a pint of beer or glass of wine reading out the news, especially serious or breaking news. Although shows like the Graham Norton show or Alan Carr's Chatty man guests/celebs are given a drink and they chat away during the interview more relaxed as Graham put it.
Most of the serious breaking news these days should come with a free drink. They're laughable, preposterous lies. I would need several drinks to believe any of them.
You can tell its real as well by guests reactions. Some of them definitely drink too much as well. Really funny to watch
The comedian Dave Allen would tell jokes and have a glass of whiskey with him on stage. In 1997 there was a programme that was meant to be a live discussion between artists and one artist Tracey Emin turned up at the studio very drunk and swearing at everyone.
@@peterjf7723 Yes that's right, Dave Allen sat on that bar stool thing with a drink by his side, I think he smoked too which was acceptable at that time. Didn't see Tracey Emin, but remember Oliver Reed in the 80's being drunk on Aspell and George Best in the 90's on Wogan.
Well... Holly Willoughby and Phillip Scofield on Good Morning (Wouldn't quite call it proper news though) came in the night after the British Television Awards still drunk and in the same clothes as the night before once.
He definitely said Train.
The bear - Hoffmeister beer logo is a bear and the old adverts were "If you want great lager, follow the bear"
Ah all is revealed!
Sean once poured what was clearly a beer. He said it was water……canal water.
Joe Wilkinson is dryer than dry! British comedy at it’s best! 🤣🤣
HI Ethan and Wife, answers to your questions... Panel Show, Train, yes to drinking, on some chat shows its encouraged, and Yes we call clothes pins, Pegs.
He said train 100%. And I'm a yank too. Also 8 out of 10 cats is a panel show. Countdown (without Jimmy Carr) is a game show. And they combined the two into an even better panel show called 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown (aka Cats Does Countdown, aka Catsdown). But we don't have panel shows in the US because the culture is too serious to understand it. America's too competition orientated to have panel shows. We tried with Who's Line Is It Anyway. But it's just not possible to get most Americans to chill out enough to realize that the points doing really matter and that the game show format of some panel shows is literally nothing but an excuse to get funny people to say funny things to each other.
Your wife has better hearing than you mate, he said train. Never argue with the wife, even if your right.
Not true, only argue with your wife if you think you're wrong. Then she has to prove you right to win the argument, which proves her wrong in the first place. This is high level stuff so take your time 🤣
@@bradwinslow3450 are you secretly a jedi master. I'm so doing that next time mate.
@@bradwinslow3450 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@bradwinslow3450 ;-)
Sorry Ethan, I heard train. Lol
Panel show not game show. Game shows are where members of the public compete for a prize of some sort.
Hiya. Yes, you can drink on British TV (we're adults), have you not seen 'The Graham Norton Show' - the host and the guests have their favourite drinks - or 'I'll Get This' - set in a restaurant where a group of celebrities meet for dinner and play table games between courses to see who's going to pay the bill? If you haven't, you should. Stay safe. All the best to you.
You wouldn't notice the poet John Cooper Clark obviously enjoying Joe's poem.
@Tejesh Patel no he's been a serious Punk Poet since the 70's! Total legend - taken a lot of drugs in the past.
Looking forward to this. This man is hilarious and you should react to more he has done, not only on this show but taskmaster if you can, and his stand up routines also
Yes we can drink on TV. You should watch Graham Norton. Matt Damon and Donnie Wahlberg got sh!t faced
I second Graham Norton
'we' Oh yeah, 'cos you're on the telly all the time!.....'we'...priceless!
Chris O’Dowd is drunk off his a** in one appearance as well. He’s a fun drunk.
So sad n happy watching Sean Lock absolutely crack up over Joe's poem. RiP Sean, we miss you
As there is a hired panel of famous guests, this is a panel show more than a game show.
We call them Clothes pegs here guys. Joe is actually a stand up comedian too. Oh & I heard Train sorry Ethan. I love that end bit though, seen it a few times & still laugh so much my face & ribs hurt lol.
I've seen it no end of times and it still makes me laugh until my chest hurts!
Joe's a very good actor too, he is great on Derek and After Life.
@@JacknVictor yeah he's hilarious. Ah right haven't seen that, cool.
I have never heard anyone call them clothes pegs...just pegs.
I've lived all over the UK and everyone I've known refer to them as clothes pegs or sometimes just pegs. Some people in the UK do refer to them as clothing pins aswell. Not that I've taken a survey on the subject or anything. Just having lived in many places you pick up on the regional differences in language.
@@emmahowells8334 I would definitely recommend giving them a watch. Think they are on Netflix and undoubtedly available in other places online.
The only up side to covid was getting to discover new TV shows I wouldn't normally have come across.
I thought someone was going to say “Bear with me, I’ve thought this through”
I'm a Brit living in the US. Definitely said TRAIN, mate. Your partner won this one 😁
Defo train son lol and yea we can drink anywere anytime theres a show on sunday morn live called sunday brunch they start drinking at 10 in the morn lol
It was definitely Train. And yes we are allowed to drink on TV here, some shows purposefully get guests drunk to add to the comedy.
Joe is a legend. Imagine a night on the beer with him.🤣🤣🤣
And the bear
That last clip is the funniest thing ever aired on tv anywhere. It will never not be hilarious.
Joe wasn't fired, he decided he was fired and randomly crashed the show and just acted like Joe, even if it derailed the whole game.
Joe is an utter legend!
*Sorry mate but he definitely said they caught the **_"train"_** to the studio. We don't really use the word **_"trail"._** We tend to just call it **_"a path"._** Besides, nothing in 8/10 is meant to make sense. It's much funnier to imagine him sat with a hulking great bear, getting more and more pissed (drunk not angry) on a train than on a trail.*
*The big card... Most card shops in the UK sell big Christmas and Birthday cards like that. Though the biggest ones stocked are usually about 30 x 20 inches. I've never seen one 8ft x 6ft! LOL.*
*As someone else has said, the long-running joke after the first couple of series was that Jimmy had (supposedly) sacked/fired Joe, but that he kept turning up each week in his own time because he'd nothing else to do in life LOL.*
*It's called an **_'anagram'._** Meaning you have to use the same 9 letters to create another 9 letter word. Of course you could have 10 or 12 or any other number of letters, but an anagram means you have to use exactly the same letters to make a word. For example 'NEWTDIMERS' is an anagram of 'MIDWESTERN'. Or 'FACIALIRON' is an anagram of 'CALIFORNIA' and so on.*
*Drinking on TV... Yes it's allowed. In popular British soaps such as **_'Coronation Street'_** and **_'Eastenders',_** a lot of the storylines are based in and around the local pubs. Years ago alcohol wasn't allowed and so instead of a pint of beer, they'd have to use carbonated water with added food colouring, or even carbonated cold tea (yuk!) But the rules were relaxed in the early 1990s and they now use real beer. They still don't use real spirits such as brandy, vodka or whisky though, as if they need to do several takes, the actors would all be pissed (again meaning drunk, not angry as in the US). Likewise on chat shows etc such as Graham Norton or Jonothan Ross, they have real wine, brandy and soda, vodka and ice etc. And yes, some guests have got very very drunk (You should see the late actor Oliver Reed on some/many of his TV interviews! He was always well and truly hammered!*
*Regarding drinking alcohol in public, it's not illegal. You can drink pretty much anywhere outside in the UK, though there are local by-laws about drinking next to, or close to schools or kids play areas. You WILL be arrested however, if you're acting like a complete arse due to drinking too much in public. You're usually given a couple of discretionary warnings, but if you continue to act like a nob/tit/pratt/dick (etc etc), Section 5 states that it's a criminal offence; **_"to use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or to display any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting within the hearing or sight of any other person, which is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress thereby”._** So if you plan on taking a holiday in the UK, you have been warned! LOL*
*Yes, we do indeed call them **_"clothes pegs"_** though most sold today are usually made of plastic. As for people peeing through a letterbox, I've personally never heard of it ever happening. I think you'd have to find yourself in an extremely rough area (on the wrong side of the tracks) to have even heard stories about that? I suspect it's more of an urban myth than a reality.*
*Now I understand why you call it **_"Innocent Americans"._** I don't think I can ever remember two people looking sooooooooo uncomfortable when Joe was reading out his poem at the end about naming other peoples' penises. What particularly stood out was that you both seemed to find it hilarious as individuals, yet it was as if you were genuinely embarrassed... almost ashamed to let each other see that you found it so funny as individuals. Chill out guys! If it's funny it's funny, regardless of what the subject matter is. Just go with it. Life's too short for pretense, especially in a marriage. Trust me, my parents genuinely loved each other throughout their entire 71-year-marriage, and my wife and I have been likewise (so far) for over 46 years. There's no secret to it. Just both put your loved one first in every situation, be upfront and honest with each other about EVERYTHING, remind them how much you love them, never go to bed after an argument, and... just bloody enjoy life together! Love & Peace x. (PS - Sorry, I didn't realise how much I'd written until now. Oops!)*
After 9pm you can drink alcohol on uk TV graham norton shows and alan carr always have drinks for the guests
And it makes better viewing from the p****d up guests!
@@davidhoward2487 yep one of my favourite graham norton shows was with bill Murray when he got matt damon and Hugh bonneville to downing their drinks with him.
You know something is funny when Jimmy is wiping away the tears lol 😂
And Sean, usually it is the rest of us laughing at him :) or sadly used to be :(
All the privacy that you require in the urinal trough is the unwritten rule that every user must remain looking straight forward and without blinking.
The act of looking leaves the door metaphorically wide open for the looker to receive a broken nose from the lookee.
Joe said train. I'm British that was a Nnn not a Llll sound 😊
He met the 🐻 on the train 🚆 lol 😆 😂
Joe adds comedy to the show, you can watch him on line,
My favourite parts is when Sean pressed his buzzer and said "Joe, there's someone at the door" and David threw the wet paper at the window XDXD
"8 Out of 10 Cats" is one very funny gameshow with comedians competing and being silly, "Countdown" is a serious gameshow that has been going for ages, with the reputation to be very dry, boring and mainly watched by old people, "8 Out of 10 Cats does Countdown" is where comedians from other shows (mostly 8 Out of 10 Cats?) does try to play Countdown, but not too seriously. It's one of the best things to happen in TV history.
Countdown was the first program shown on Channel 4 when it began broadcasting in the 80s. The format began in France in the 60s. This version began when C4 had what they called a 'Mash Up Night', where they combined various shows together.
@@decam5329 Didn't know that. Thanks! I just watch and enjoy it. :D
@@decam5329 *programme
They say you learn something new every day! Well mine (being from England, UK) was "clothes pins". We say 'clothes pegs', or more commonly just 'pegs' :)
I can see why meeting a bear on a trail would make a lot of sense to Americans in one your many nature reserves, but fortunately in Britain we don’t really have Trails and we definitely don’t find bears on them, so it makes perfect sense that Joe met the pissed up bear on the TRAIN, that’s my explanation. Love the reaction show guys, the naming people’s willy poem is pure comedy gold 👍
When Joe comes on he says he says Jimmy fired him. Calls him a P###k! He hasn't been fired. It's part of their routine. Show's Joe's weird world. V funny.🤣
That’s not a big card.🤣 We have WAY BIGGER!🤣
TRAIN.
Countdown is a game show that's been broadcast in the UK since 1982. Its based on a French game show called Numbers and Letters which began broadcasting in 1965. Both programmes are still on the air.
8 out of 20 Cats is more like a spoof/comedy game show. It's hosted by Jimmy Carr and the Team Captains were comedians Sean Lock and Jon Richardson (I think!). Each team would have a guest (usually another comedian). There would be a series of survey questions - with hilarious consequences.
At some point some genius decided to take the 8 out of 10 Cats team and get them to play Countdown, which is a notoriously dry and dull programme.
As you can see, it works a treat. Sadly Sean Lock died a few weeks ago of cancer.
Gr8 reactions guys! 😁💕
I'm sure everyone has said this, we have those troff things too. Especially in old pubs or football grounds ⚽️ . Yeah and I'm sure Joe and Co were genuine when they were laughing like that. Love this vid guys 😉
The word is train. It is common to see bears travelling on a train drinking a few beers
Or having marmalade sandwiches.
They drink wine or a beer on most late night chat shows if guests want a drink, creates a relaxed ambience!🙏❤️
All guests on Graham Norton show choose the drink of their choice and for many it's the reason they keep going on it! lol. Matt Damon confessed it's the only talk show he likes because..."booze!"
Joe Wilkinson the only one to have broken Sean on multiple occasions.
There isn't really any laws about drinking on TV, if there is there will usually be a disclaimer about "responsible drinking" same as we have about "responsible gambling" etc. There's plenty of clips of This Morning where the hosts are drinking the cocktails made by the chefs and getting really tipsy. That show is on 10am-12:30pm ruclips.net/video/hjCr5OUnzH8/видео.html
I saw Joe do a standup show in my area before he was well known. he was the first act on and was bloody funny. Very dead pan and he said at the start he wasn't good at linking jokes and once he told a joke he would just say "link." in-between. At a point the audience would join in at intervals.
That poem made some of the top comedians in the UK laugh. I think Sean Lock would have lived 5 more years if not for that, but Sean himself would rather have heard the joke.
Sean Lock (glasses next to Joe) in the second clip died recently, from Cancer, mid-August. It's really sad, he was such a funny, witty guy.
100% train
He say's train, it's part of the joke. When would you ever meet a bear on a train, escaped from a zoo or circus or anywhere.
It is actually 8 Out Of 10 Cats does Countdown which started as a one-of for charity and continued on. It was a comedy panel show doing its version of a straight game show
In Manchester we have the ale trail where we get on the train to Hudderfeild but get off at every stop for a drink then get back on the train :)
train 100%
One of my favorite Joe Wilkinson bits is the one where he grew a tail and some claws and bald patches because of the placebo medication he was taking to make money after Jimmy “fired me ‘cause you’re a turd,” flipping the bird to Jimmy using one of the malformed claws. Joe’s always got the best makeup and special effects!
You can drink on TV here in the UK. American guests on chat shows like Graham Norton often take a sip and exclaim 'it's real' - saying that though, I have seen clips of late night American chat shows where the host and guest drink, one that comes to mind is Stephen Colbert.
"Well, we met on the TRAIN up here..."
The beer that used to be pulled, served and drunk on soaps like Coronation Street and EastEnders was real years ago, until after many retakes the actors started to get drunk so it was replaced with coloured carbonated water or non alcoholic beer. Red wine is often Ribena. Game shows and talk shows it is often Alcohol that is drunk.
🚂 definitely said train but I get why you thought trail either could work 🙈
Yes. They drink on TV. Talk shows in particular do it often
The whole getting fired thing was just a ruse to allow Joe to come up with outrageous alternative jobs and reasons for being there
The bear costume used on this was Originally made for promoting John West salmon.
I'm not sure if it's the same one used on the adverts, but it was used at promotional events etc.
However, It does look like it might be the same one used in the ads, I just re-watched it on RUclips. It looks very similar.
I can't even imagine hearing trail out of it, to me it was clearly train. Also, the firing of Joe (which was mentioned a lot of times but I have never seen it) was followed by a lot of Joe Wilkinsons appearance that all mentioned it.
8 out of 10 cats is a different show entirely… this is a comedy smash up with the daytime game show Countdown.
You can drink on TV, just as long as it's later in the evening. There's often drunk guests on chat/comedy shows. It's like having a guest on The Late Show having a few too many glasses of wine, it happens every so often.
I don't really know what Joe Wilkinson is, I don't think he does stand up or anything. I think he's just a stray homeless person who wandered in one day and they couldn't get rid of him. 🤣🤣
It's fun how many things you're not allowed to do in the land of the free.
freedom without responsibility is just anarchy
He said Train for sure. I have watched every episode.
The Graham Norton show explains all tv drinking laws 🤣
Joe is a very good comedian, but he's also a bloody good actor. He was brilliant in "sex education" on netflix (a must watch btw).
And his presence on 8 out of ten cats does countdown is simply second to none!
RiP Sean Lock. You were brilliant in this.
On Graham Norton's show, his guests often get well and truly pickled in the Green Room..check the one with Bill Murray!!
Train I don't think I have heard anyone say trail except in history when learning about the orageon trail
Yeah you can drink outside in public here, although certain places have Bye Laws (local laws) which restrict it.
On hot sunny days you will see many of our parks and public spaces filled with people picnicking/having BBQ, and drinking.
Generally people are very civilised about it, but there's always some moron who goes too far.
There is always alcohol on the Graham Norton Show
@@GenialHarryGrout Just ask Mark Wahlberg!
He definitely said 'train', absolutely no comedic value in 'trail' plus it's not very often used in UK. Great reaction guys, very entertaining.
Yes, we can drink on TV. In fact, on some talk shows you'll see our cousins over the pond get rather pissed up 😁
In my country (Italy) the rules of drinking on the street are a bit strange ... Before you could drink quietly on the street. The only problem is that drunk people do not throw things where they should so, at least in the center [for example famous squares]) they have banned drinking in the street, you can only drink inside the bar. On the outskirts you can also drink outside the bar, since no tourists come to the outskirts ... In general, bars have outside tables, but in the center, for example, you can drink, I believe, only in the confines of the bar and perhaps in the outside tables. Some bars in the center (for example the gay bar near the Colosseum), for example the night after closing it cleans the area in front of the bar from the glasses left by people ... I know because I personally saw them do it when I returned in the morning after having done evening (aka exited before / after dinner and came back the next morning) ...
On television in Italy they generally drink water, if not in TV programs dedicated to cooking, where they maybe taste wine ... obviously if we are talking about TV series, in principle it is colored water ... xD
Not sure anyone considers it a Game Show. I don't think you guys have an equivalent in the US not anymore anyway, but here we call shows like this Panel Shows. We do have game shows, but like your own, ours more often involve members of the public contesting seriously. A panel show may or may not have quiz elements, but it never matters who wins, it's all just an excuse for a laugh and ordinarily has absolutely no public involved, other than the audience.
Would I lie to you, Big Fat Quiz and 8 out of ten cats/Does Countdown are all modern examples.But not the original Countdown, that's a game show.
Yes can drink on TV, Nigel Farage, on GBNEWS has a slot called having a pint with Nigel, some guests do some have water. Booze is part of our culture.
Thanks for warning, another reason not to watch GB news
Poem episode was best ever! The guest is a famous UK performance poet! So all the panelists wrote a poem for him to rate! The poems were all great n funny, Joe went last! And his poem made the whole Country laugh, like Sean My stomach was hurting from laughing so much! I think joe will always be known now as the person who made one our greatest ever comics laugh out loud so much, before sadly Sean passed away a year or two later from cancer! Sadly missed in UK. But Sean left us with so much comedy greatness over 30 years.🙏
100% Train. Great Reaction guys 😎🇬🇧 - Clothing Pegs in the UK 😎
We don’t have any bears wandering around as we don’t really have “trails” but we do have TRAINS 😉and you often see a nice spectacled bear doing the weekly railway commute from Bearville (where they all live) to Charing X …carrying of course a briefcase, a daily newspaper and a rolled up umbrella…no bears want to get wet from the rain…
Or from Paddington Station! 😀
Panel show!
He said train. "Trail makes more sense" would normally be a reasonably strong defense if it wasnt about Joe Wilkinson 😆
More like a panel show taking over a game show, but yes, 8 out of 10 cats and their version of countdown is absolutely epic!
Just FYI, the Brits usually call this type of format a "panel show", as it's more defined by the presence of two teams of comedians bantering as they do whatever. Interestingly, "8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown" would be a panel show, while "Countdown" proper would be a game show, ie. a game played by laypeople.
Not a big deal or anything; just thought it might be of interest. Thanks for the video!
Edit: Had an idea on the train/trail thing (it's definitely train, fyi); I think it's a bit of a cultural difference. The UK, especially London, has a way better public transit system than anything in the US, and the country is also interconnected with a bunch of pretty well-run (well, compared to America, anyway) regional trains. The point being that "taking the train" is a way more common activity for a hugely-larger percentage of the UK population than the US one, so "I met him on the train" is like "I met him at the grocery store"; it's the most everyday place, and therefore the least likely to house a giant fuck-off bear. Absurdism.
With the drinking on TV thing, I don't know Britain, but I know that in America, it depends on the type of broadcasting you're talking about. The government claimed the electromagnetic spectrum as public property way back, so the FCC writes licenses for over-the-air broadcasters and can impose a bunch of regulations about things like educational programming for kids or banning on-air substance use. The cable networks, though, are regarded as private property, so they have much fewer and looser restrictions.
18:37 In case there's cultural confusion, Captain Birdseye is the mascot of the Birds Eye frozen foods company in the UK, probably because their most popular item has long been fish fingers. He's been around since 1967, so he's very well-known. Basically their version of Colonel Sanders, and like Sanders, he's been played by a number of different actors. Here's a pic of his signature pose for reference: www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/John_Hewer_Captain_3603056b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=480
That point about Joe seeing the jokes for the first time; that's how they used to do those "Stephan" skits on SNL, with Bill Hader. Look them up if you haven't seen them; very good!
Ironically, during the poem. John Cooper Clark was the guy in dictionary corner with Suzie. He is an actual poet and a really funny one.
Train... We get pissed on the trains here 😂🤣
I think our Urinals are much the same as yours, when you mention stalls that's more for solids! We do have troughs, though (perhaps like you) that was far more common in the past, nowadays there are separate urinals, but no partitions.
