You know I like Americans! but there is one thing that really gets up my nose about them!! the way they keep referring to the UK as England!! especially seeing as the Big Yin is Scottish ,now going on that way of thinking they must think Scotland is in England? ....Time to update your geogeaphy and history books guys!!!
the presenter doesn't seem to unerstand the United Kingdom is one entity, and that Billy is huge in the UK not just England. Even when Billy talks about "in Brtitain" and "british television", the presenter is still talking about the English.
I think, even in 1992 America, the Homeless was not something to joke about on a prime time TV show, even if it was just witty observations like Billy was making. The bad stuff in America and its underbelly was not really discussed, an unwritten no-go area, prime time maintained the veneer of the great wealth of America where all Americans are living the dream.
@ScottishNonBeliever Thank you! it is quite sad that most americans don't understand that. except for those of us that watch UK television such as me, and are huge fans of Frankie Boyle and Kevin Bridges. anyway I hope to visit Scotland soon. cheers!
I'm a big fan of Stephen Fry, his description of how Alan plays is great, he "rushes headlong like a puppy into the wall of ignorance." The whole thing works very well
Numenorean17, that is the most brilliantly obscure rationalization I have ever read! It's a misdirect, an anti-joke. A "why did the chicken cross the road" type of thing. But once you have to explain a joke, it's never funny. The teddy roosevelt thing, however, is universally hilarious :)

607th like. Love Billy 🍀
Every time he refers to the UK as "England", I am getting closer and closer to tearing my hair out. Billy's just letting it slide.
Great vid
Finally someone who gets it! Just because a movie is about something real, doesn't make it fun to watch!
