I am an Australian who has recently moved to the UK and I have become obsessed with your channel. I think I am probably similar age and similarly obsessed with British comedy. Love your work. Keep it up.
welcome to the uk :) I can highly recommend GREEN WING as well. You'll recognise the actor that plays Jim the weird guy with the dog in Friday Night Dinner
I just did the opposite
@@celynedwards9752 Where in Australia? There are parts of Australia that can be nice. Just expect there to be a few culture shocks. Expect things to be expensive, and for it to be quite hot most of the time (that sounds nicer than it is when you come from a cooler climate). Don’t be fooled by all the talk about everything trying to kill you, although there is some elements of truth to that if you’re not careful.
I drove the great ocean road from melbourne to adelaide. Now living in adelaide but have plans to move north west to broome.
@@celynedwards9752 Wow I can’t say I’ve been to Broome. That will definitely be far from everywhere. The only thing I know about north west Australia is mining.
"In the style of the elephant man." Always cracks me up 😂
The flung exercise books brought back memories. Closely followed by recollections of flying board rubbers and hurled chalk.
Yes a homework book in the face - a classic staple of British schools in the 1980s
As someone who taught English literature, we'd read the book first over a term, then we'd watch the film at the end of term and compare them both at the end; the key to getting kids interested and engaged is to make it interesting, relatable and fun if possible... no rockets though hahaha
I had a fantastic English lit teacher. Really engaging. Teachers who are passionate are the best. You remember them and tne impact all your life
i never read a book in an english school...If you listened to another pupil read a few lines out loud and then watched the film you "read" Oliver Twist in school..The pupils that for some reason can be bothered to remember what the teacher wrote on the black-board then go on to pass the exam..YAY.
@@rlawrence9838 Yeah, that's an international thing... Kids were the same here in Portugal. I was literally the only one actually reading and enjoying the books. All the others were talking about which sites had the best synopsis for the book we were reading 😅
@@iulia.bianca.b I really enjoyed reading and read a lot of my own in my teens (still do). I just got bored with all the books we were given after the first or second chapter, and the few times we got to pick one ourself I just picked a book I've already read so I had more time to write a report.
I'll worry about AI when the self-service checkout at my local supermarket can go through one small shopping trolly with out calling for 'assistance' and can manage to produce a legible receipt or one at all!
No, that is exactly the reason you should worry about it - because it'll go wrong almost certainly 🤣
Don't worry the earth is due to burn in 5 yrs
they ask for assistance because 90% of the CPU is studying pattern algorithms and only 10% of it is doing the actual job, they probobly hive connect after closing hours and plot our downfall :D
Don't worry, it's flat, so if we all stand on one side, jump up and down and get some momentum going, we will be able to swoosh the water enough to put out the fire @@simonwhiting2067
We had one teacher (amazingly only one) who would throw our exercise books back to us at the start of every lesson. Was a bit of a shock the first time he did it, but we got used to it after a few weeks. The difference was that he was actually good at it - he never threw them too hard, and always aimed for the desk space in front of each of us rather than deliberately trying to hit us - and his accuracy was impeccable. When someone asked him why he did this, he responded by saying he had been doing it several times a day for decades, so he had a lot of practice, which is why his aim was so good. Which was fair enough, really.
Haha we did too, funny 😅
Sadly little Britain and Come fly with me was taken off the air… only way to watch the originals now is on dvd
We had a American teacher many years ago here in the uk, he used to throw a basketball at you to get your attention , the good old days 😊
We have schools called Grammar schools, basically posh schools. So the school in this sketch is called Kelsey Grammar School. Btw loved the Woody laugh 😂
The grammar school teacher is one of my favourite Little Britain characters, shame he only appeared in the first series!🙂
Mr. Boone the mathematics teacher sometimes lobbed the wooden-handled board duster (in the days of blackboard and chalk) in the direction of an inattentive boy. 'Boone's ballistic missile'.
We had a Graphic design teacher do the same. His skill was such that he never hit the kid, it would just land in the desk and throw a cloud of chalk dust into the kids face.
The Elephant Man. I think he should have used his long hair to cover all his head, and a long fringe to hide his face. But he didn't. I think there must have been a 'Look at me' thing with that man.😀
We had a lad split his head open under his hair he got it stitched up and came back in a week later, he gave our old school science teacher cheek and he hit him on the head with a book unbeknownst to him that he'd had stitches and opened one of them up again! The teacher was mortified!
My favourite Little Britain is the Woman who is sick when she tries some food then finds out who made it. Then throws up like in exorcist.
Yorkshire Tea is the answer. I don't remember the question.
I used to have a school teacher who would frisbee everybody's work book back at them. Another one used to practice clarinet whilst we worked.
That's cool, I didn't realise they were friends again but apparently they made up about 4 years ago now
I believe we all had at least 1 teacher who threw or semi-threw workbooks back at us. If done carefully there's no need to fire, but the fact it's so funny like a real 'crap, here , have it back, not even going to hand it back to you' :D
Throwing a book at a kid is nothing. At my primary school in the UK aged 11, our teacher picked a kid up and threw him the other side of the room. He hit the radiator. English schools were great in the early 70s.
We had a teacher who used to throw the blackboard rubber at us . Thanks Mr. Spittler . He only had one thumb and used to tell us mucky jokes ! Great days the 1970s !!
Ah the days of ducking to avoid the blackboard rubber. Continued well into the 80's too.
Remembering you Mr Duckworth. (No pun intended)
And pieces of chalk too if you weren’t paying attention! Jim Jones the French master , hope you are still alive and well , fond memories of grammar school days in the early 70’s .
Ah the good old days, yes had many excercise books chucked at me. Half intended for you to catch, half secretly for you to be hit in the face.
Have you done Bubbles DeVere yet? And Maggie & Judie? They are my two favourite Little Britain creations. So funny.
Bubbles would be so funny for his reaction during her stripping for brydons character 😂😂
Which is probably why it's not on here lol
My grandad was a saxophonist. He played for a band in the 60s/70s called HURRICANE SMITH.. they had a number one single and were on the tonight show.
I went to a Grammar school where the teacher used to nominate people to read in the class. They are actually just exaggerating something that was actually real lol My teachers also used to throw the text books at us and sometimes blackboard rubbers. There are elements of truth in this lol
Looks like it's an international thing 😅 Had a math teacher - back in my country of origin - launching a black board eraser straight to a kid's head... 😬 Some people are just miserable and done with their jobs
Our chemistry teacher used to lob a board duster at the kids who weren't paying attention. Got away with it,too cos it was the 1980s.
Same for me circa 1981
Mind you with the inaccuracies I did once get hung upside down by the chemistry teacher for having a bit of a snarky comment about his not wanting to use Farenheit haha! Still to this day I can't remember if Mr Wakefield genuinely was peeved off or if he was taking the joke out of it haha!
LITTLE BRITAIN IS HILARIOUS!!! THEY ARE GENIUSES. THEY DID AN AIRLINE SERIES, TOO.
THEY DO ALL CHARACTERS!!! BLACK, WHITE, GAY, STRAIGHT., OLD YOUNG, THIN FAT, ALL!!! BUT ANNE IN MENTAL HOSPITAL IS MY FAVORITE😜😜😜
Ahw I loved Anne.... Eh eh eeehhh
Got a wooden chalk board rubber thrown at my head in the 80s.
Walliams not williams
I guy in my class in secondary school took a reverse approach. He threw a copy book at a substitute teacher simply because she was a substitute teacher. He missed of course but we never saw her again after her first day
When the kids started speaking like the elephant man!! 😂😂😂 that was soooooo funny.
I LUFF (love) your Austin 3:16 shirt!! I luff (love) Stone Cold Steve Austen!!
My form tutor in the late 80s used to throw blackboard rubbers at us when we were 13. Books are nothing.
I was in school for several years before they banned corporal punishment in the UK, and teachers got away with murder (almost!) but throwing wooden board dusters at students was pretty common, one teacher liked hitting us on the back of the head with one of those large 6v torch batteries, and it was all perfectly acceptable at the time, amazing really.
I'll assume from the picture that we are countrymen and I relate to your experience. One physics teacher liked to throw a tennis ball at people because there was a chance at another shot if it bounced back to him. If it didn't he demanded someone bring it to him. He also sometimes threw his keys to the floor and instructed a girl to pick them up so he could look at their bum. I wish it wasn't true.
Yeah, I was 13 when they banned corporal punishment. I remember getting my ass spanked in primary school a few times by a teacher but I evaded the headmaster's dreaded slipper.
When I moved up to secondary school the cane was still being used but mainly on the most recalcitrant 15/16 year olds. Luckily in my second year of secondary school Parliament outlawed that type of treatment.
Now that I'm a grumpy 50 year old I can see good reasons to bring it back again for certain cases.
That being said some of the teachers were far too overzealous with throwing those wooden blackboard erasers!
I had a teacher who used to throw blackboard erasers at pupils lol. He also once threatened someone with a ruler....I believe he was fired also...
Depends what he intended doing with the ruler.
@@theradgegadgie6352 I think the implication was rather unpleasant
@michaelemerson570 Yeah, I was joking. Rather too obscurely, I guess.
@@theradgegadgie6352 So was I lol XD
As someone who attended a grammar school from 2012-2019, some of the stereotypes in these clips aren’t all that far from the truth even to this day.
✅Book throwing
✅old white blokes teaching English and history
✅referring to everyone by their surnames
✅classrooms that haven’t been decorated since the 50s
One of the things that they probably shouldn’t have got away with was nicknames. My Portuguese chemistry teacher nicknamed me and my two mates “Whitey 1,2&3” because our names were Dan, Sam and Joe and we all sat next to each other and he could never get us the right way around. We were also 3 of the 5 white kids in our class😂
I also remember going to my induction interview thing when I was 11, a few months before I started and the deputy headteacher asked me if I was well behaved at home and at school and I said “yeah, most of the time I guess” and she looked me dead in the eye and she said “that will be all the time when you come here. If you have to step foot in my office at any point while you’re here, know that you’re in for it”… safe to say I was quite well behaved after that😂
It wasn't removed from tv, it was removed from Netflix BBC player as a knee jerk reaction to GFloyd in 2020
Not gonna lie when i imagine school's in America a guy throwing books at kids makes sense
Your intro’s are getting funnier. ❤😂😂😂😂
It was common for teachers to throw stuff, board rubbers, chalk , test papers etc. In tne 1960’s
There is no such Flavour As Prawn Collymore 😂.
Hey King Boomer, Matt Lucas and David Walliams aren’t actually CZcamsrs haha they’re pretty prominent on UK TV. Don’t think you need worry about getting them subs 😝 I only found this channel the other day and I’m enjoying the Father Ted reactions so much I’m on a wee adventure through all the other videos round here 😊😊😊😊
I went to a very old boarding school. My chemistry teacher used to return our workbooks in this way.
Our history teacher would launch our books out of the window if we weren’t out of the classroom fast enough on Saturday so he could go to the football. 😂
went to see the little Britain live show, I was exhausted from laughing! so good
My teacher threw a blackboard eraser at me once...can't remember why , I was a good pupil
I was part of an amateur dramatic group and most of the members were teachers of varying age groups of kids. Yes, they admitted they did mess with the kids like this because they hated having to read to them and the kids found it boring too.
Salt and Lineker, Cheese and Owen, was Smoky Beckham actually a thing or just a myth? The streets remember.
Trust me no one reads books in english schools, a couple of pupils read a couple of lines out loud then they watch the film, anyone who for some reason can be bothered to remember the "important" aspects that the teacher writes on the blackboard goes on to pass the exam and says later, "yeah, we read that book in school"...Its total horseshit.
I can categorically say (and this is nothing against anyone who's told you otherwise) that this got taken off the air the show, though I'd bet it's highly unlikely I think due to these sketches.
Used to be a thing certainly in a schools assembly, if you coughed sometimes the head would discipline a pupil, if you watch the great film that is Kes! directed by Ken Loach is a great example of that.
We had teachers who used to do this same thing, chucking books when handing them back just like this!
Having been at Grammar School in the late 70’s this is pretty spot on 😂😂😂
Precision guided ballistic blackboard erasers where a daily occurrence back in the day. They hurt in the side of the head. Teachers just got a pat on the back for a direct hit.
A maths teacher split my head open with one.
Best intro ever
This an example of a great compilation. Funny stuff
Bring on Queen chav herself, Vicky Pollard
I think you would like the show " AN Audience with ....." where they have different comedians in front of a mainly celebrity audience, KEN DODD was my favourite
Another great sketch show from this era was 'the mitchell and Webb look' by Mark and Jez from peep show. Infinitely funny
The Armstrong and miller show was on around that time too, very funny. The days before pointless took over Armstrong's life lol
That’s numberwang 😂
I did see a story in the news a couple of years ago about a man who taught English for something like 30 years without being able to read.
Little Britain wasn’t cancelled if memory serves , they just ran out of ideas and had other stuff to do …
👍🏴
@kingboomer I am starting to get severe Peep Show Reaction withdrawal... Now I know how Super Hans feels.... 😂😂😂...
Then next one is the dead dog he won’t like it 😂
"STILL GAME" is a great Scottish character series...really funny, and understandable!!👍👍👍
Absaulte cracker of a show only came accross it recently on Netflix took me two r three episodes to pick up the accents 😅😅loved it last episode had me proper sad though was gutted 😢😂
Robots will do everything: better, faster, cheaper. It's inevitable. We, mankind, will be redundant. You'll be paid for sitting at home, or for higher education. Eventually you won't get paid. You'll just be given what you need. That is all good. Who wants to work for a living. I did 52 years of heavy back breaking labour. By the time I retired I was too fucked to enjoy it.
Phoenix nights my mate ffas ❤
Comedy died years ago, this was so funny growing up! 👏👌
I went to Grammar school and i loved English literature. I remember books and blackboard rubbers being thrown by teachers at pupils. Love Little Britain..
My geography teacher used to greet the class at the door and for some reason would hit me on the head each time with a hard back folder- aw the good old days, they don’t make teachers like that anymore
Probably didn't like the cut of your jib.
@@Shinso1337 well he always did have a smile on his face
We had a music teacher who, to instill discipline, would throw a chalk eraser at us if we misbehaved. The point is, it was not one of those soft ones, it was one in the form of a big block of wood with the eraser glued to the front of it.
Please try Little Britain - America's Love for Guns
It's mildly funnier when you've actually been to a Grammar haha, though not so much as that looks like more like far older one.
Love your videos 😂
King boomer if you like little brittain try come fly with me matt lucas and david walliams did that as well
It's still available to watch in some places but major streaming platforms like Netflix took it off because they had sketches where they would do things that people could find offensive like racism, transphobia and homophobia. I think it's a load of bullshit as it's just comedy and made almost two decades ago but that's 2023 for you.
In this series, in the "new boy bit they missed a trick by not having a girl as the "new boy"
I would just LOVE you to react to NINA CONTI a brilliant comedian and ventriloquist.
We got stuff thrown at us all the time, it was the norm in the 70's 😂
Similar sense of humour - love it.
When The Queen's not around The King's language certainly deteriorates!
This show got taken off the air because some of the sketches had elements of "blackface" in them although used in a way to mock racism. However,as the 2000s progressed the decided they couldn't keep showing it on TV. Some of the other sketches were near the knuckle for other reasons too. They certainly sailed close to the wind when they made this show.
Mate, AI will never climb Everest independently. (without human help). If AI becomes a problem, we’ll just remove their AA Batteries! We can’t even explore the Titanic without a PlayStation controller. Really?! Hope they’re ok down there.
Like many educational terms, "grammar school" means something entirely different in America than in the UK.
They did Little Britain and after a few series they did Little Britain, USA, Then they ran out of ideas and decided to have a rest.
When I was in secondary school back around 1969/70, the maths teacher was fond of hurling the blackboard rubber (eraser) at errant pupils. Many's the time you were treated to the sound of one whizzing passed your ear as it sought out some transgressing kid behind you. Sometimes it would be a piece of chalk, it depended what was in his hand at the time. He was never fired, suspended or whatever - it never left the classroom. But we never grew up to be mentally disturbed or shattered or anything like that. It was sort of expected and we coped. Not sure how the snowflakes of today would get on - that sort of scenario just wouldn't happen these days.
I love little britain 😆😆😆
Oh god as an Englishman, I hated early English literature lessons. Painful. This really isn’t far off, but I still love it!
One of our teachers would throw a wooden board duster at us if we did not pay attention ....as far as i remember no boys were killed and to be honest i cant remember the board duster actually hit anyone so he was a poor shot or a crack shot ,not sure which.
Lucas & Walliams, before L.B. also did a series of Rock Star Profiles and also this gem:
czcams.com/video/0z8kpIuAfIc/video.html
Hey King Boomer, I'm sure somebody has already mentioned but it's David Walliams, not Williams.
Used to get the chalkboard eraser launched at us in school if we talked
Another great intro by King Boomer 😊
Throwing our answer books back at us was a regular thing, some teachers picked a student to hand them out but he'd quickly be called a teachers pet, so to stop the bullying the teachers just threw them back...........teachers are lazy.
my old teacher used to regularly throw sh11t around. he once threw a chalk duster at a kid. was standard stuff tbh. Good times
MUST SEE TOM SEGURA "DISABILITIES ARE FUNNY?
I went to a grammar school, not quite as posh as this one, but its pretty accurate of some of the teachers 😂 btw are you watching peep show soon?
Little Britain wasn't taken off the air, the creators had done as much as they could with it and went on to do other things. They followed up with "Come Fly With Me" which again wasn't taken off the air, they did as much of it as they wanted to do and then stopped. Internet outrage warriors keep trying to stir up the culture wars by saying it was banned, or the creators "went woke" etc etc etc, none of which is true. They stopped when they want to and moved on. They have both said there were elements of the humour that they wouldn't do now because expectations have changed but that's as far as it goes.
My favourite example of this was when the (fairly crap) 70s sitcom "Love They Neighbour" started appearing on CZcams the comments were full of "Then the BBC went woke and banned it" when the show ran successfully for four years - a good run for a UK sitcom - on ITV. Things sometimes just end without a hidden cabal of Woke Nazi Commie Gestapo Thought Police being responsible... but that doesn't get clicks from keyboard warriors.
Little Britain was taken down from streaming services as well as Come Fly With Me.
Come fly with me was taken down as well?! When
Sounds like the perfect time to buy these on DVD before they become illegal 🤣🤣
@@roboguard96 A while ago. Netflix got rid of it due to black face.
This sketch always reminds me of the Monty Python sex education sketc. Another banging comedy clip 🤣
Yep. Really vital instrument, the saxophone. What would the Soft core/erotic film industry have done without it in the 70s and 80s? Every single piece of love-mood film music was sax. But I think that viewers were romantically perplexed by the whole thing. "I really want to make love to you Betty! I have a sheath!" "Look! A Johnny is fine, Johnny. but its hardly a sax, is it?" She'd say. "I'm a good girl. No sex without sax!". Thankfully, the 90s occurred, and nobody ever cared about anything ever again.
AI used with logic,pragmatism and the safety of the people in mind will be no problem....Considering history and the elitist system in present use i would kiss your arse goodbye sometime in the next year or so.
10:12 Golden Wonder and KP are two different brands of crisps (chips).
KP make Peanuts don’t they?
@@burnsyboyy7534 yes, i think they make peanuts as well. Also hula hoops i think.
welcome to English school-based humour!!
