There's nothing like forgetting the gender of beard, then remembering that it's feminine. And my native language Hungarian is even more dangerous. It's very logical, but hard as hell.

@@martinszymanski2607 English is literally the hardest language to learn. Chinese is second. Most languages have simple rules and formatting. Take the Spanish language for example. You can only say most things one or two ways. Where as it can be said in English several different ways. English also borrows from other languages more than any other language
@@iReply2Dummieswell actually, the difficulty of learning a language is based on your first language or any other languages you have learnt. For example, for the average native english speaker the Japanese or Chinese languages are the hardest but if you know either Japanese or Chinese then the other would be really easy to learn. My point being, it depends on the structure and script of the language in comparison to languages you know. There is no hardest language because each language has its own hardest one to learn.
@A Truck Campbell Nope, not what dyslexia is. It's just harder to read. I have to break down a word to know how to spell it. For example, this word break B-r-a-k, but then I know that's not right, so I add an E. Along with that, it takes more brain power for me to read, and I still have to sound stuff out. You could do more research on dyslexia since I don't think other dyslexics like when people assume we read backwards.
@A Truck Campbell Oh yeah, I know that your question didn't come out of malice. It just gets kind of annoying when people assume I read backward or upside down. I know it has nothing to do with you and your curiosity!

Me laughing in Finnish in which every single letter-combo is pronounced the same. Learn how to pronounce "E" and it's the same in every word there is, no matter the location or what it follows or precedes. No pronouncing rules, silent letters or such. Yet, it's still a very difficult language to learn :D
I used to watch his specials late night on VH1. He is remembered for smashing watermelons, but this is a perfect example of his actual stand up chops. RIP
I remember an elementary school teacher once saying that English would one day be pared down to the simplest form of the language. That was sixty years ago, and boy was she wrong.😂
and shes right, if u are fluent in a language that uses a romanized way of spelling, you're gonna have a hard time learning something like chinese, tagalog, japanese, thai, etc. but its weird because people who are fluent in those languages can learn english fairly easily from what ive heard from non native asian english speakers. plus english is so wide spread its basically a must to learn in a lot of foreign schools.
This is a special kind of genius. I remember watching His specials as a child laughing along with my parents. Now to be able to write for an audience from 7 to 70 that makes them all laugh, that is pretty special.
@@lukamagicgod It does, when you realize the English language has adopted words from several languages. The variations in spelling reflect the spelling rules of the original languages.

@@martinszymanski2607 English is literally the hardest language to learn. Chinese is second.
Most languages have simple rules and formatting. Take the Spanish language for example. You can only say most things one or two ways. Where as it can be said in English several different ways.
English also borrows from other languages more than any other language
@@iReply2Dummieswell actually, the difficulty of learning a language is based on your first language or any other languages you have learnt. For example, for the average native english speaker the Japanese or Chinese languages are the hardest but if you know either Japanese or Chinese then the other would be really easy to learn. My point being, it depends on the structure and script of the language in comparison to languages you know. There is no hardest language because each language has its own hardest one to learn.
Teacher in my country : english is easy son....
English in real life : 💀🗿💀

As an English speaker. I apologize to the other languages out there.
Thanks. = Kiitos.
I don't, get wrecked other languages!

As a dyslexic person this is pretty much my existence.
So if a word or sentence was written backwards you would read it normally?
@A Truck Campbell Nope, not what dyslexia is. It's just harder to read. I have to break down a word to know how to spell it. For example, this word break B-r-a-k, but then I know that's not right, so I add an E. Along with that, it takes more brain power for me to read, and I still have to sound stuff out. You could do more research on dyslexia since I don't think other dyslexics like when people assume we read backwards.
@@beckybats6221 Thanks for the response, it was a genuine question, no need to be offended.
@A Truck Campbell Oh yeah, I know that your question didn't come out of malice. It just gets kind of annoying when people assume I read backward or upside down. I know it has nothing to do with you and your curiosity!
Webster was high AF
old days jokes realy hits hard
English teachers be sweating right now watching this 💀
LOL
Saw him live in Knoxville once. He brought the house down... gave them an almost 3 hour show. You could tell he was having just as much fun as we were!
ah man, i’m from knoxville! miss that place
Did you leave dirty😄👍🏾

I think this is my favorite video of all time! I've watched it so many times.
This dude is so legendary.
I was always a huge fan of Gallager. Saw him three times live and loved everyone of them!
Bet that was a blast,..did you bring protection?..If your in the first five rows you need it lol
That's exactly why I failed spelling
.
This made me soooo fucking grateful that I've known English my whole life. I can only imagine the struggle of someone learning it later in life.
Its honestly still really easy compaired to other languages. Idk how many youve tried to learn but the english one was the simplest for me by far.
Lol I'm 44 and still bloody learning it. I reckon Japanese would have been easier.
@@stevenwier1783 that actually isnt true, English is one of the most difficult languages for non English speakers the learn
Its not that hard. But your verbes and times.... no its a nightmare...

A man who never falls into history because his skits stay completely relevant to this very day and will stand the test of time forever.
Except the racist stuff.
@@blah4151 what's racist?
@@DeletedDevilDeletedAngel he said a few subtle off color jokes/comments. It's obviously about people of color with the sus phrasing he uses. I don't have anything against him btw, he's just a product of his time and upbringing but he still said those things.
@@blah4151 its probably one of those jokes that not everyone is offended by
This skit will probably be considered hate speech in a few years.
Gallagher was the most underrated comedian of the 80's. Sure could use some of his humor today. RIP Gallagher, you are truly missed.
It is very odd that I know so many people that got Juiced rip Gallagher

@@daveyjoseph6058 pardon you?
{Truth} God Bless
every single comments section there's some mouth breather saying "underrated"
"What's this guy?" 😂😂
"That's too easy. You'd learn that and run outside to play." 😂
Then he created the sledge-o-matic, and the rest is history.
He single handedly kept the visqueen companies in business!
Loved Gallager's HBO specials. He & George Carlin were & always will be the very best. Phyllis Diller, Jerry Clower, Flip Wilson, George Wallace, Lewis Black
My favorite was his "food map of the USA"
"That'd be too easy!" I feel this way about most English. 😂
Bro roasted the whole language 😂
The way he said “sit back down “😂😂😂
I was literally talking about how difficult English is with a Mexican friend of mine earlier.
Spanish phonics are incredibly easy to grasp. Polar opposite of our confusing language
have always had a lot of respect for people that learned English as a second language. It's very difficult I'm sure, given all the people that think they are speaking and writing it properly and failing miserably.
It's not difficult, it's full of nonsense 😅
@@eddiegalon3714 it's not difficult, in fact there's a lot of words which are spelled very similarly, the hardest part is te grammar, and stuff like the example shown in the video, I'm fluent on English, and i know that English just doesn't make a lot of sense when you compare it to other languages 🤷🏻♂️
Me laughing in Finnish in which every single letter-combo is pronounced the same. Learn how to pronounce "E" and it's the same in every word there is, no matter the location or what it follows or precedes. No pronouncing rules, silent letters or such. Yet, it's still a very difficult language to learn :D
I used to watch his specials late night on VH1. He is remembered for smashing watermelons, but this is a perfect example of his actual stand up chops. RIP
I know right, me to!! It warms my heart that someone else shared in that same joy!
I also remember his Specials very well . Enjoyed every one of his Shows . He'll definitely be missed .

"Whats this gang."

As a kid I loved the "watermelon" guy. A true treasure
I remember an elementary school teacher once saying that English would one day be pared down to the simplest form of the language. That was sixty years ago, and boy was she wrong.😂
Because as we all know, languages evolve drastically and unrecognisably in sixty years, it's so crazy we spoke latin in the 60s
it's all emojis and three letter intros in the names .
@@DocAnthony what
she was absolutely right? English doesn't compare in difficulty with old english or other languages.
and shes right, if u are fluent in a language that uses a romanized way of spelling, you're gonna have a hard time learning something like chinese, tagalog, japanese, thai, etc. but its weird because people who are fluent in those languages can learn english fairly easily from what ive heard from non native asian english speakers.
plus english is so wide spread its basically a must to learn in a lot of foreign schools.
RIP to the comedic legend.
One of the greatest!! A philosophical comedian with a minor in English!! If wit was power, then he ruled the world!! RIP Mr. G
This is a special kind of genius. I remember watching His specials as a child laughing along with my parents. Now to be able to write for an audience from 7 to 70 that makes them all laugh, that is pretty special.
his Sledge-O-Matic was the best!

Absolutely. If you like him you'll like Demetri Martin too. I think his special is called "words"
All English teachers need to show this bit in their class, lol
Truth
Doesnt make any sense
@@lukamagicgod It does, when you realize the English language has adopted words from several languages. The variations in spelling reflect the spelling rules of the original languages.
@kathleenlandolt5936 every language has adopted from others
@@llamacebu216 Yes, they have. I don't know how often languages other than English have retained the spelling from the original languages, which is what confuses so many people, and is the subject of this humorous video.
I gotta agree with the last one 😂
English's way of saying "peace was never an option."
He was the college roommate of a man I worked with about 43 years ago. He came to the office for a visit. I didn't know who he was. When I told some folks I'd met him I got educated. Nice guy as I recall.
He looks like such a sweet, happy guy. :)
He actually was kind of an ahole
he died in 2022
too bad he is dead now
My boy gonna be my new English teacher
When he said what’s this GUY he sounds like The Canadians from south park
Gallagher was one of the Best Comedians ever and his grasp of the English language was amazing and hilarious
Clearly it wasn't that amazing if he pronounced "poem" as "pome"
