Not only is Simon Pegg classy and funny, he's actually a great actor. I was so impressed with his crying scenes in Shaun of the Dead.
I love all the Three-Flavours Cornetto trilogy. I love Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost very much, also. And if you wanna see Simon perform very emotional scenes, watch Hector and the Search for Happiness. There's some fantastic Peggy crying scenes there :)
TheNerdyDeviant And don't forget A Fantastical Fear of Everything!
righteousgroove He cried like a baby at the end of Terminator 2, you know, with the thumb...
the difference between american and british humour is very evident in this video
The difference between British humor and American humor is that they are different. Got it. Btw, this video shows what a really funny person sounds like. As far as I can tell, geographical location doesn't really dictate that. The only thing standing between a person being funny and not is self confidence. Nationalism and pride are the the biggest enemies to humor.
Americans need to be told when a joke occurs, ie they need a punchline. Whereas in Britain a slight glance can replace the need for a punchline.
? JustAltruism Your conception might be the greatest joke here. I think the might be the most stupid thing I've read today...alarming considering our president elect just hired an anti-vaxxer to his cabinet...
Simon Pegg is one of those rare cases where he is an English actor who has been 'Hollywood-ised' (Ewan McGregor is a good example as well) - i.e. he's quite obviously had the Hollywood hair and makeup guys on him, but has retained his inherent Englishness. He makes us proud.
hughtubecube And look at his fine teeth - definitely Hollywood behind that, too.
+Roger Gurman i could name a few American stereotypes but i don't feel the need to so why do you?
"The Irish drink until they're sober." - London Irish
My younger brother once attended a football match between an Irish and and English team. The Irish fans were all cheerfull and friendly and became even more so while getting more drunk.
When the match was over, the English fans, about as drunk or even drunkener, attacked and tore up the Irish fans.
Because, and this you undoubtedly must have noticed. English people have more 'angry drunks' that will absolutely murder you when encountered.
Friendly drunks will probably only harm themselves because they keep falling down or running into doorways.
@@AudieHolland drunk or sober, Irish are nasty no matter what. Brits too
Alexander Frank Castro wait till you visit Australia we can drink a delivery drunk full of beers man before they reach the taps in pubs
He's so right. I've seen one of my friends at stage 12 and he acted exactly like that.
There is a level 13 which is everything else + your spine has sudden urges to fall asleep while the rest of you doesn't.
@@somberlight level 13. Yes. I have seen it. 'Falling asleep' is putting it a bit mildly. Being on the brink of Death is probably a better description. When I was at a student's party decades ago, I saw how some people had stopped moving but were still conscious. They were sitting, not lying but they couldn't keep their head up. Very much like trying desperately to stay awake.
I jokingly asked each of the dudes how much they had been drinking. "42" one said. "44," said another. Now we're not talking pints of course but 25 cl glasses of beer, about a third of a fluid ounce. Later I read in a medical article that after having 44 beers in 25 cl glasses, will mean that your automated breathing or 'subconscious' breathing will fail.
In theory you may start furiously 'conscious' breathing but of course the tendency to fall asleep will put an end to that.
In short: *ultimately drunk people will suffocate in their sleep.*
My favourite was the actor who played Peter. When Pierce Brosnan was talking to them, Peter kept on stealing the show by doing the suddenly surprised "I can feel my drunkenness, and it's distracting, but I need to pay attention right now" face, where his eyes kept widening and focusing out and in. Brilliant.
Know this is 6 years old but watch Ray Donovan if you haven’t. He will completely blow your mind. One of the best actors in the world in my opinion and so underrated
Pint 13: Your limbs become really heavy and the pavement decides to break your nose
My favourite stage is when the drunk guy starts believing everyone else is drunk, and he's the only sober one:
For example, he falls over, and as you help him up, he says "you okay? you had a bit of a tumble"
...or he's unsteady on his feet so he grabs onto you, and says "you're alright, I've got you".
....Then comes my least favourite stage - the one where he talks to you about very personal, uncomfortable things while his face is about half an inch away from yours.
Love Simon Pegg! It's hard to talk to other people about it though. I'm from Texas so the humor, especially in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and World's End, really just goes over 99% of people's heads. I think Pegg and Frost are such a great duo that in time we'll come to view them as equals with Chris Farley and David Spade, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Abbot and Costello, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor etc. They deserve it and I don't think they get enough recognition as a team together. Also you cannot exclude director Edgar Wright but they've proven that they maintain their chemistry even in his absence with Paul. I hope these guys never stop being friends and never stop giving us (in my opinion) the best comedy movies we've seen in a long time.
I'm sure your already aware of this but if your a fan the 2 seasons of Spaced is by far their best work!!
I think that the trilogy was the best but I won't deny, I do thoroughly enjoy spaced as well. I also love how cast members from spaced have popped up in the movies.
Cool, cool just didn't know if a quirky London sitcom from the nineties made it all the way over to Texas. Oh the wonders of the internet :-)
Yeah, I knew about it and always wanted to see it and one day there it was on Netflix. I marathon watched both seasons. Watched em a few times since then. Favorite line. "You, Lando!"
Check out some other British comedy like Inbetweeners and fresh meat, very creative and witty.
the key to acting drunk is to act sober
Seriously, a lot of the symptoms of drunkenness have to be with being somehow physically incapacitated. So the 'acting sober' looks like early stages of dementia.
It is doing certain things we take for granted when sober/healthy, that we do it without thinking or even be aware of it. Drunk or old, demented people have to remind themselves how to
*look normal.*
He's not lying about the nurses. Drink a town dry on a night out.
They know they can always just put themselves on a saline drip when they get home...
His classy calm humor is awesome.
Thank you Simon Pegg for telling the Americans THAT IT IS OUR LANGUAGE, plus what the fuck is a chimney blicket? Legend!
I think he just made it up, to make the point that he can not understand some of the English slang that us English people use. But i think that he was trying to be cockney (which is a London accent). But there is only 2 cockneys left.
Americans generally think Brits are
1) English
2) Cockneys or..
3) Hugh Grant
4) Still living and talking like it's 1837.
It's a bit like Brits thinking all Americans go to work on a horse and spend their evenings in a saloon spitting in a corner.
Helen Hall Who the fuck is stupid enough to think Americans go on horses to work and spend their evenings in a saloon spitting in a corner?
I just saw his movie Man Up tonight...good heavens Simon is so attractive, not even kidding.. he is seriously wowzer. I have had a crush on him since his Shaun of the dead movie. My goodness he just looks amazing. I want a Simon Pegg Canadian style please!!!
+Timmy Burgess you say you're Canadian? I'm from the Ottawa area. Maybe we're related!
+Trevor Burgess Yes, I'm Canadian I live in beautiful BC, just near Vancouver. You may never know. we might be related. haha
Give him all the oscars.
Brilliant !!
At level "10", demonstrated between 4:30 - 4:40, he adds the subtle symptom of heavy exhalation. There is a completely valid medical reason for this . . . Binge drinking can elicit a physiological state of metabolic acidosis (low pH in your system), which your body tries to correct via respiratory compensation of increased breathing (trying vent off excess carbon dioxide to bring the pH back into a normal range). Seriously. Watch the next few drunks you come across and see if they are breathing heavier in any way.
one of the best out there.
For the VERY best drunk acting to ever grace the small screen, check "Jim Lahey" from Trailer Park Boys. Pure, over-proof brilliance!
That show was awesome, I loved Ricky and Jim the most. Definitely the best drunk acting I've seen. I would also say Barfly was a great movie with drunk acting and Leaving Las Vegas but that was more sad than funny.
There's a good piece in Michael Caine's autobiography about his getting advice from a director early in his career when he was attempting to play a drunk. He was told to try again and this time don't be an actor playing a drunk, try playing it as thought you are a drunk attempting to appear sober
'The World's End' is a hugely underrated film. It's different in many ways but it's similarly underrated to 'This Is The End', and both those films kind of flew under the radar. They're both brilliant.
What an actor! I love his subtle acting for #7 and 8!
"It's the hardest working liver in the world Morty!"
I just love Simon Pegg🌹
He's not wrong about the nurses...we do like a drink (or 5) after work, depending on how hard the shift was :P
+Katie B Sweet....Nice to hear that. People assume we're robots sometimes...LOL!!
And you thoroughly deserve too respect to all nurses 🤘👊 (also doctors, police and fireman) that risk their lives, families and social lives for crap pay! A good night out is always a blessing in your job x
Simon Pegg is easily one of my favorite actors at the moment! What a guy!
He's a blond version of Michael Sheen it's crazy !
The best way to act drunk, is to act like you're a drunk person trying to act sober
I'm English, I speak English, Americans also speak 'English', and I personally have no clue what on earth a "Chimany blicket" is. I believe the word you're looking for is, 'biscuit'.
Hilarious! "You're convinced that you're sober, but you are drunker than you have ever been"
Truer words have never been spoken xD I'm always so dismissive when I'm that drunk that I keep thinking "I'm not that drunk," thus I drink even more and so it goes...
Brilliant actor and comedian!
"It's our language!!" Hahaha! Love that bit.
He's right, it is our language. The clue is in the word ENGLISH lol!!
Oh Pssh you stole most of that from German who stole it from Latin who stole it from Greek anyway XD
John Dunsworth aka Jim Lahey of the Trailer Park Boys is the best drunk actor ever.
"You guys have a strange way of talking" "Oi moïte, dat's a lawd of bollocks !"
'It's OUR language!'
AWESOME comeback :-D
Stage 12 was such suttle performance I almost had to cry. It surely deserved an Oscar.
My favourite stage is when the drunkard starts believing everyone else is drunk, and he's the only sober one:
For example, he falls over, and as you help him up, he says "you okay? you had a bit of a tumble" ...or he's unsteady on his feet so he grabs onto you, and says "you're alright, I've got you".
....Then there's the next stage - the one where he talks to you about very personal, uncomfortable things while his face is about half an inch away from yours. Every time you move away to get some distance, they close it down again.
"it's our language" LOVE Simon Pegg!
"It's a full circle..." at the end was brilliant
It's crazy just how different he looks with a beard and no glasses
Thát guy, ladies and gentlemen, is a genius.
Never ever go to 12, worst hangover ever, on a boat, in stockholm, naked, no idea how I got there, no woman in sight, vomit in shower for an hour.
In Stockholm? You do realise that in all of Scandinavia there’s another 3 levels and Finland has another 3 on top of that. Russia however just has one state of drunkeness: Full on, completly, 100% plasterd!
I love this guy
This is like my favourite interview with Simon. Ever.
Love Simon Pegg so much. He’s so funny and I love him in everything he does.
lived in UK all my life
never once heard anyone say chiminy blickit
never even head of the phrase till now
As a nurse - I can totally vouch for the pub crawl!
People from the UK have awesome accents.
Haha yeah, but it's mostly ones that are around me. I do like the Scottish accent though. My Welsh one is horrible. We always sound like we're asking a question haha :)
***** Ha, is it confusing as in you can't tell if it's a question or not?
Well not to me because I'm used to it. aha but we do tend to use a lot of different tones and pitches for just one sentence. To be honest I hate it on girls, but it's alright on men. It sort of works.
I can't honestly say the worlds end is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen in the theatre. Him and nick frost are comedy gold.
the guy's a genius, he always makes me laugh
Seeing him in this movie, I think he would play an excellent Joker. He looked the part.
And then you hit Stage 13. Also known as the "I don't remember eating THAT" stage.
I once ordered a pizza that just had cheese and a slab of kebab meat on it, ate maybe half of it abd fell asleep. Woke up hungover, and with a horrible smell from the remaining takeaway lingering in the air 🤢
Stage thirteen is when your brain decides to take the rest of the night off.
i love the commentary andy provides.
what a great comedian
you can tell this is just conan's "day job" and what he really loves doing are all the side videos like jordan schlansky, gigolo mug and southern charm school
always see this conan guy as a southpark character
I love how pint 8 he did the thing nearly everyone does where they stifle the burp by inhaling deeply.
God, I love this man so much!
My 12 stages of drunkenness are just me becoming increasingly more quiet, and tongue tied when I try to speak. His impression makes me jealous of people that are fun and gregarious.
Simon's awesome! Protect him at all costs 😆
i love simon pegg so much i was laughing so much in this video!
we just call them stag parties in australia haha
ParadoXian95 Why would a stag party be the women's version if a stag is a male deer?
ParadoXian95 Haha... Fail. Bucks and Stags are the same thing. A stag is a large buck :D
Simon pegg is the best actor in the world
DEAD ON! Simon Pegg is fantastic
Simon pegg just a genius actor 😂🤣😂😍😍😍😍
Probably my favorite actor of all time. Can't even count how many times I've watched his films
good lord im on 12 every friday
Love him sooo funny
I cannot wait to do the 12 pubs of Christmas this year!!!!
That's Andy.... His one liners are completely hilarious... :)
Holy crap, this is the first time I have heard someone else use "much of a muchness" correctly instead of thinking it is gibberish from Alice in Wonderland. Same as six of one half dozen of another. Right on Simon!
I'm pretty sure we Finns have at least 20 stages of drunkenness. Number 20 being unable to get up and drinking your own puke without noticing any difference in taste.
Salmiakki vodka doesn't change between on the way down and on the way back up
Ha, I love how dead on he is. Whenever my other half get's too about twelves I'll go "Are you pissed?" and he'll look at me and do exactly that with a slow eye blink haha
I love Andy! He's very witty!
I KNOW A GUY WHO'S STILL IN STAGE 9(AFTER 10 YERAS)
DUDE, IT TOOK ME 10 MINUTES TO DECIPHER YOUR COMMENT BUT WHEN I UNDERSTOOD IT I LAUGHED SO HARD AT WORK THAT MY BOSS CAUGHT ME USING MY PHONE AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE . SERIOUSLY :)
Cyphox IF U THINK I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT PEOPLE, U ARE SO WRONG CYPHOX :) MOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA . CAPSLOCK! :)
+firebird188
wuhahahhaaahaa... oh man, you just made my night..
thanks so much.
walter bishop don't worry about it, no one gives a shit about you either, just ask your parents.
I just think he is so funny. Love him.
"You betcha!" lool
"You betcha!" 😲😕 that look to the audience cracked me up 😆
13 is when you start making choking noices ;-)
It's weird he basically did an impersonation of me lol
I love this explanation of acting drunk, Simon Pegg rules, haven't seen this in a while.
OMG I love simon!,he is a brilliant actor and writer! :D
omfg this was briliant....wow!
He looks like a ghost in the thumbnail
Simon is so brilliant, I realy admire him
Andy richter is freakin always there :p i watch an interview with someone interesting and conan, and halfway thru it pops to andy saying something right next to him lol
it is their language..
It's a language. You can't take credit for it or own it. It belongs to the people. Those people brought it here and then other people came and brought their language and now it's a little different. Change is hard to accept sometimes, but I believe in you.
Simon is a genius!
I LOVE SIMON SO MUCH!!! He's so damn funny!!! LMAO
he should play Van Gogh
"The English charge, The Irish float." - London Irish
Brilliant. One of my fave movie.
He was in Belgium??!?! ö Damn, wish I had seen him, woud be so awesome
1:11 ''it's our language''
(As a Brit, a brilliant reply)
+trancehi But Languages evolve, yours went one way, ours went another - still the same root, but it's not entirely "yours" anymore.
Plus Americans/Canadians outnumber you, so there's that...
+BirdyLegs
What logic is that? For instance, that's like saying because the worlds most popular religion is Christianity, that makes Christianity right and correct simply because they out number other religions. Or, that right handed people are superior just because there are more of them than left handed people on this planet. Americans have a propensity to dumb down the English language and it's ironic when you get an American correcting an indigenous Englishman how to pronounce/spell or use our own language you adopted. He did not criticise the American but the American felt he had every right to criticise the English. That's like me, as a Brit, castigating a Frenchman for not pronouncing the word 'au revoir' right when the word is French and theirs.
+BirdyLegs
Ditto to your response to the opening comment. Unfortunate about your repartee, I hasten to add.
+BirdyLegs You say that as if we're entirely a different species. Your heratage is English, you learn English in schools and you use the English dictionary!! Considering your language is slightly altered ie. fuck over yourself, you are defrontly not speaking any proper english. I'm certainly happy your not in our country!
+trancehi it's pretty standard, people say it all the time whenever visiting USA or an American comes to the UK and says an English expression is funny - he didnt come up with the line...
