"he starved to death, I forgot to feed him" is one of the greatest lines from any comedy show ever. It always cracks me up because the kid laughs when he says it.
His dad is played by Rik Mayall, a famous British comedian. He died before the second series, and was replaced by an eccentric auntie character. You also missed the bit at the end where Greg does his salsa dance in the hospital.
I think they know about Rik Mayall from the first episode? And the dancing scene, which I'm sure they saw, probably had to be cut out because of copyright issues with the music.
And, coincidentally enough, from the pieces of Greg's real life that they put into the show, that was roughly the point where his real father passed as well, so the interactions between him and Mum afterwards in the show are taken from his real life as well.
Man Down was on Channel 4 which is a commercial freeview channel which is Government owned. We have a thing called the Watershed which means after 9PM they can push standards within OFCOM guidelines and Channel 4 has a history of doing just that.
I think you need to watch The Young Ones, and Bottom, to really see Rik Mayall shine, Rik and Ade Edmonson are pure UK comedy gold. RIP Rik. We all know that queen boomer is getting helicoptered tonight.............
Man down is awesome 👌 RIP Rik Mayall 😢 Greg is so good in this, you need to do more and by the way you are the most perfect couple 💑 Of Muppets that is 🤪😅😂 I jest of course 🙏❤
He really never got over the Quad bike accident in 1998, was never the same again, couldn't remember his lines and lost his timing. I will always remember him for his best years in The Young Ones, Alan B'Stard MP, Filthy Rich and Cat Flap, Bottom
Rik Mayall was an absolute comedic genius. I can tell by the jokes you two react the hardest to that you would probably love watching some of the things he did with Ade Edmondson in the stage shows Rik & Ade, or their hit show Bottom.
So glad you like so many of our UK comedy shows. Please try and find the time to watch Plebs, a comedy set in Ancient Rome. It is hilarious and stars the actor Tom Rosenthal who is one of the brothers in Friday Night Dinner. It follows four friends, one of whom is a slave called Grumio, and is amazing. Also another comedy called Game On is worth a visit.
Rick Mayall has been in a lot of good shows. Bottom was great but I know its been hard for you to show on this forum. If you want something that is really funny though starring him, that is totally RUclips friendly, it would definitely have to be "Believe Nothing". Its probably the most intellectual thing he has done in his career if you know what I mean, and it shows his range and maturity as a comedian.
In the Uk the watershed is 9 pm therefore like you said it is deemed young children would be in bed and parent guidance for those that are still up. So many programmes on our free to view channels operate under this guidance. Before that time there should be nothing that either be deemed offensive or advertisements cannot be aimed at children etc that could induce bad habits like drinking or gambling etc.
There's a couple of series of Man Down. So if you want to continue watching the insanity of Greg Davies brain you might consider watching "The Cleaner". It's not quite as insane as Man Down.
3:50 You probably won't get the reference. Rose West was a serial killer who, with her husband Fred, killed a number of women including their own daughter. Hell of an insult to shout at a little girl!!! 😂
A little history lesson, Nobby ,in victorian times meant,that's neat!! all clerks wore a certain type of hat ,and it was considered ,yes ,nobby!! ,that is why anybody named clerk or clark today is called nobby ,Nobby clark ,get it!! Smith is Smudger ,White is Snowy! Et Al
I recommend a video to you it's called: Stuggy Best Vine Compilation 2015 ALL VINES HD. It involves a a Jim Carrey impression, it's a compilation of crazy vines from England, you will love it and yes you will be pausing every 5 seconds and once again you will love it Mate and Queen Boomer too!

It is nice to know as I don't watch every episode. Thank you Lawrence the salsa but I missed too. Love the future Auntie episodes.
Wasn't he in bottom 🤔 .. that was classic growing up lol 😆

Love your reactions!, keep em coming Boomster.

Most will mention Bottom, The Young Ones and Blackadder when it comes to Rik Mayall, but North Americans might know him from Drop Dead Fred
You've just seen the tip of the iceberg with his dad.. he's one of the legends of British comedy
You’ll loose your shit when you see which actor plays Bob….the cafe owner 😉
Can't wait to see their faces when they see it! 😁
*lose
@@Christianlee14
Correct
King boomer deffo did a helicopter dance for queen boomer after filming this
Well guys, we nearly killed him.
He's levelled up yet again on Brit humour, but his face turned red and he struggled to laugh-breathe!
Fantastic!
Man Down was on Channel 4 which is a commercial freeview channel which is Government owned. We have a thing called the Watershed which means after 9PM they can push standards within OFCOM guidelines and Channel 4 has a history of doing just that.
He said "Meat run", not a, "Minge run"! lol
Greg Davies said he was going to buy some mince (ie. minced beef, which you call ground beef).
British teachers are some of the funniest and strangest people on this planet! Possibly why so many comedians have worked in the education system!
My husband is a teacher and he’s hilarious!
I think you need to watch The Young Ones, and Bottom, to really see Rik Mayall shine, Rik and Ade Edmonson are pure UK comedy gold. RIP Rik. We all know that queen boomer is getting helicoptered tonight.............
So thats why people kept making "Man down" references at me, asking if i owned a garage..
She's sounds like father "Jack"😂... egg! Drink!!
Man down is awesome 👌 RIP Rik Mayall 😢 Greg is so good in this, you need to do more and by the way you are the most perfect couple 💑 Of Muppets that is 🤪😅😂 I jest of course 🙏❤
Yeah you got to Man Down😂 Brilliant series!!!!
Most people in that hospital scene are from the immensely popular daily drama EastEnders.
You missed the ending. The hospital salsa dance is legendary.
The genius that is Rick Mayall 😢😢
He really never got over the Quad bike accident in 1998, was never the same again, couldn't remember his lines and lost his timing. I will always remember him for his best years in The Young Ones, Alan B'Stard MP, Filthy Rich and Cat Flap, Bottom
In the rule for regular TV in Ireland and England is these sort of shows com on after 9pm .. It's called the watershed.
I think I was laughing just as hard as King B there at the end, haven't seen the show for ages and forgot that was coming!
🤣
A brief bit was cut where they were playing with the ball thing
Please keep doing Man Down, it’s gets insane
Brilliant programme wonderful clip thank you 😂 Love Rick Mayall he is outstanding in everything thank you for this brilliant
If only Greg Davies could see your reaction to his show.
RIP rik mayall wow what a guy
why did you cut the salsa dance ? that was the best bit of this episide?
The cockcopter scene was excellent 😂
Yes!!been waiting for this!checking every day....👀🤣🤣💜
And that was a lil mouse, not rabbit....👀
As long as its on after 9pm anything goes. This was just on normal TV not subscription.
I've bin watched all 4 seasons. Your in for a treat. Everyone of them is hilarious.
OMG RIK MAYALL! What a legend! I really think you should react to the Young Ones or perhaps Bottom next, I need some more Rik Mayall in my life rn. 😂
Rik Mayall was an absolute comedic genius. I can tell by the jokes you two react the hardest to that you would probably love watching some of the things he did with Ade Edmondson in the stage shows Rik & Ade, or their hit show Bottom.
Love that your doing man down, I love this show.
The gapme is called swing ball, do you watch the whole episodes of these shows?
So glad you like so many of our UK comedy shows. Please try and find the time to watch Plebs, a comedy set in Ancient Rome.

The woman who plays Shakira is a superb actor. Absolutely hilarious and terrifying sometimes!
Actress
@@DEMONIKMINION 'Actor' is perfectly fine to use - it's not just a term to describe male performers.
Shame we didn’t see the dance, it was epic. 💃 😂
You guys need to watch the tv series Cuckoo, Greg's in that too
Love this programme.

Greg Davies has another cool show, "THE CLEANER"
26:20 I didnt see that coming LOL
The fact they took advantage of Rik Mayle looking like Greg Davis is genius
After 9pm anything goes on our TV. Its called the after the watershed for some reason.
Rose west lol
😂 married the best gardener and patio layer in Gloucester
He said "meat run" btw,a trip jus to get some meat....👀🤣💜
'Drop Dead Fred' would be a great movie to react to!
In the uk after 9pm it’s called the watershed, then programs like the inbetweeners and man down are aired 👍🏼
I think you missed the extremely funny "Salsa" dance? Not 100% but If I remember right it's during or after the end credits?
⬆️
The Salsa dance is better than the Willy Dance, you stopped it to soon.
Second the suggestion for 'Game On'. Rik Mayall was a comedy legend.. check out The New Statesman, The Young Ones and.Bottom..
Great show, great reaction!

Did you watch the end credits? It had the salsa dance in it

It's not quite as insane as Man Down.
This wasn't even cable,this was jus standard terrestrial! Prime time too,no nudity, no swearing(cursing👀🤦🏻♂️😑🤣).....👀🤷♂️🤣💜
That was pretty much how he was as a teacher apparently :).
3:50 You probably won't get the reference. Rose West was a serial killer who, with her husband Fred, killed a number of women including their own daughter. Hell of an insult to shout at a little girl!!! 😂
Rik Mayall is the greatest
Hello my King and Queen of us here in Muppet land, Greetings from Yorkshire
Yorkshire Yorkshire Yorkshire
You have to watch the dance at the end, even if it's in your own time.
Its worth watching just to see rik mayall
1000%

I know you guys said you didn't like it as much as the first, but I beg that you stick with it, absolutely fantastic show!
He teaches drama class in Arts.
King Boomer”s a screamer? Who knew!!!

You should check out Bottom when you’re finished with Man Down, it will end you King B!
If all else fails...
🚁
R.I.P. Rik Mayall.....missed dearly
if there is any line to cross, you must know by now that Brits will ignore it! 😂
A little history lesson, Nobby ,in victorian times meant,that's neat!! all clerks wore a certain type of hat ,and it was considered ,yes ,nobby!! ,that is why anybody named clerk or clark today is called nobby ,Nobby clark ,get it!! Smith is Smudger ,White is Snowy! Et Al
You should watch Greg Davies, Graham Norton his teacher story

The game is called swing ball
I think you need to see Naked Attraction, it's a fun family show
Need to watch misfits, you will absolutely love it
He said meat run
Frank Sidebottom!
I recommend a video to you it's called: Stuggy Best Vine Compilation 2015 ALL VINES HD.
It involves a a Jim Carrey impression, it's a compilation of crazy vines from England, you will love it and yes you will be pausing every 5 seconds and once again you will love it Mate and Queen Boomer too!
"MINCE" IS HAMBURGER OR GROUND ROUND
You *REALLY* need to watch The Young Ones!
My ex used to do the helicopter dance to cheer me up. 😆
Motherland, The Royle Family......there are literally so many for you Boomers to watch 😂
"MINCE" IS GROUND BEEF.👍🏻
We need a Young Ones review
Bob of Bobs cafe i# played by Mark Hamill ….
He would've had a much better chance if he'd hummed the theme from Airwolf.
BOB OWNS DINER..COOK.
I miss Rik Mayall RIP
New Statesman
Think this is the only sightly weak episode...keep going it's 1 of the best
