British comedy involves a lot of sarcasm, irony and friendly banter. If one of my British friends makes fun of me then that means we have a good friendship and trust.
These aren't jokes though.
It's accurate
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 Sarcasm......
@@davequinn2369 That too
Exactly. If a British person makes fun of you to your face, it means they like you.
@@anzaca1 That's what makes a great team at work mate. No malice at all. Good point... Baldy
He's not drunk guys - just part of the act and the pub landlord persona.
Al Murray is a very clever guy.
It plays on the stereotype of old style publicans being very opinionated, and often insulting to non-British cultures, and also very willing to share those opinions with their customers while they were stuck being served. It meant the persona was quite fitting for this type of comedy material.
It's 2022. People be getting easily offended and not understanding sarcasm and roasting each other. I think you guys took it well
I'm with you there. I thought they understood it perfectly. It's Comedy FFS.
Social media gives no context
BOMB EVERYTHING!!!!
@igor putin putin???!!! Ya kidding me?
@@MegaMonic9 just cause his name is putin doesnt mean anything
He is an extremely intelligent man with degrees in history. His humour is amazing 👏🏻
He graduated with an Oxbridge degree in History. He be a brainy dude.
@@simonsaunders8147 you mean a degree from Oxford University. There is no such place as Oxbridge
@@stevepettifer4896 Oxbridge is a common abbreviation for Oxford/Cambridge as the two best universities.
@@simonsaunders8147 having grown up in Cambridge and turned down the option of going to Cambridge university, I am well aware. But there is still no such thing as an Oxbridge degree. You either have an Oxford degree or a Cambridge degree.
@@stevepettifer4896 All this I know very well. Oxbridge is used by we lesser mortals who weren't good enough to go to either of them to refer to them as the top two Universities of choice. I am sure you are aware of the use of that term, and are just being incredibly woke or thick. Or both.
He actually presents a lot of history documentaries when he's not doing comedy.
+ We Have Ways of Making You Talk, long-running podcast with James Holland on WW2 and occasionally other bits of military history
It's the weirdest thing seeing him do a ted talk with a whole different attitude
He just published a history book as well. It's called "Command"
he did the one from D-Day to Berlin
He not just a History teacher he actually a Oxford Historian
He's not, nor has he ever been, a teacher...
And a Lord in waiting
He graduated from Oxford, but he did not teach there.
He's obviously branched out beyond the history of Oxford.
@@nemo6686 Got to appreciate a solid dad joke
He drinks non alcoholic beer on stage , and he was educated at oxford university and has an degree in history. Well educated .
Al Murray is a legend.
His series D-Day to Berlin is absolutely excellent.
The fact you can laugh at yourself as a person or a nation shows you have self confidence and are comfortable with yourself. Well done.
Didn’t think you were offended loved your reaction 👍🇬🇧
His Military History knowledge comes second to none !!! 🇬🇧♥️
“Septics” is quite widely used. Septic tank - Yank. From where I’m sat, it looked like you enjoyed the vs Americans clip. No complaints from me.
Been hoping you covered this one, he’s such a great historian/comic 👌
Al Murray’s ‘take on the nations of the world’ is a classic and worth a reaction 👍🏼👍🏼
"Yank"is a shortened form of "Yankee" - as in New York Yankees. No one is really sure where the word Yankee came from. Some say a British general named James Wolfe used it first in 1758 when he was commanding some New England soldiers. In the UK the word Yankee means American, in America it tends to be the people from the northern States like New England and Vermont. The song "Yankee Doodle Dandy" was originally a British song and is now the State song of Connecticut I believe.
During the Civil War, and even after the war came to an end, Yankee was a term used by Southerners to describe their rivals from the Union, or northern, side of the conflict. After the war, Yankee was once again mostly used to describe New Englanders. Yankees have been important players in politics
"Yank" is still used as a slur in the UK. I lived in England 3 years for what would have been middle school if I'd been in the US. Kids would sometimes call me "Yank" or "You bloody Yank" thinking they were really getting in a juicy verbal jab. I'm not sure they ever understood why it made me laugh every time.
It's just not insulting to us, since we self identify as yanks. Another one that cracked me up was the time a teacher called me a heathen. It's just so far removed from words we associate with insults today that it really tickled me.
@@MrVvulf yank isnt a slur xD shows how soft you 'yanks' are, its the same as calling British people Brits or calling Scottish people Jocks, Swedish people Swedes etc its just a nickname nothing more - yank isnt just used in the UK its used throughout Europe
@@theaces3697 I know exactly how the kids intended it, and it was as a slur. Just as when I refer to you as an idiot, it means I perceive you as lacking in both intelligence and wit.
I believe the term Yank comes from the trade ship from the new world called “ Yankee Clippers “ and when the US become rivals it was a kind of slur , also they called us Limmys because British sailors used lime to treat scurvy
The beer is a stage prop, there's no alcohol involved. It's all an act. Having been actually out drinking with Al, his true love is music, he's an amazing drummer, in fact owns a drum making company. He later a damn clever fella.
Alan murrey is brilliant . I saw him live . He has a PhD in history . His character The pub landlord was for fun and it took it off
No, he has a BA in history. Why lie?
@@stevemoppett2759 technically he does have a PhD. He was awarded an honorary one from University of Wolverhampton for contributions to military history. One of our department’s main areas of research is military history which he has done a lot of work for. I believe we call them a Doctorate of Social Science not history though. But it definitely happened I had friends graduating for their MAs at the same time about 5 years ago. It was in our Alumni Newsletter too.
@@VC-gt8fv So we agree he doesn't have a PhD in History...
@@stevemoppett2759 Ha! Got 'em!
@@stevemoppett2759 nope we don’t. He has the degree he can use the title, he just didn’t get it in the traditional way. He’s definitely done enough interviewing and research to count as having done the work. Just because you haven’t written a really long essay doesn’t mean the work hasn’t been done another way that has a wider impact. Though I guess if you don’t count his documentary interviews and research you could count his books as his dissertation they would have needed as much research.
What Al Murray doesn’t know about history isn’t worth knowing
Saw him at Embasy theatre, Skegness about 2 weeks ago. He is so quick and a real genius. Much of his act is interacting with the audience and he is a master at his craft.
Look up the video where he talks to people in the audience about what they do for a living.
The way you all didn't get offended is seriously respectable, You watched, got interested and had a laugh which is how it should be. Fantastic reaction boys you have a new subscriber 😁👍🏻
It’s not ‘seriously respectable’, it should be the norm. People like yourself saying things like that is part of the reason everyone is so soft these days.
@@connorbutler5900 Em nah mate, You are correct it should be the norm I agree but weather you like it or not it isn't normal. I ain't the reason why people are soft, I don't like snowflakes but I will show respect when people don't fall into the softness of media. So instead of coming at people like you have at me for simply a comment of respect is a reason why people argue. You need to chill and not assume nothing about me without even having the conversation because clearly you got the wrong impression.
@@moffat7741 Can you rephrase that?
@@connorbutler5900 In what sort of way?
He had a sitcom in the early 2000s based in the landlord's fictional pub, it ran for two series(seasons) and involved about seven or so pub regulars and rivalries with other pub landlords. It gave a backstory to this stage persona he's better known for. Once I got into it after a few watches it was one of the best and most underrated sitcoms I've seen. Al Murray's so clever at hiding his subtle intelligence behind a banal setting I think the humor was lost on most people here in the UK plus it was on a crap cable channel which didn't help.
I agree. Very good series, I highly recommend to anyone who can find it online or if it was available on DVD.
Btw guys, Al has literally just written an actual history book called Command: How the Allies Learned to Win the Second World War. He also has a WW2 history podcast called We Have Ways of Making You Talk with historian James Holland.
The dude is serious about history!
Nobody offends the British more than the British, it's our way.
We take the piss out of everything 🤣
been waiting for this reaction lmao he's a legend!
Been waiting for this one
Why . Why can't all you Americans be as chill and down to earth as you lot . Legends !
A history degree from Oxford. Clever geezer
Oxford History degree graduate. Dude is highly intelligent.
It may come from the song 'Yankee doodle went to London just to ride a pony' also sang by Micky Rooney back in the day......look it up sometime.
Al Murray is great and the more you understand his humor the funnier he becomes some great clips still to come from him....Good reactions lads...
He has a degree in History from Oxford university, so he knows his stuff. Sure, he bends the truth to suit his comedy routine but that is his thing. A good comedian will make you laugh, but a smart comedian will earn your respect - and make you laugh.
Al Murray educates and makes you laugh all at other same time
How global finance really works is one of his funniest.. Especially his American accent..
The German phone kills me
I always said if Al was our History Teacher we would all be Historians.
Recently subscribed. You react to a lot of stuff I enjoy & you got good banter. Glad to see you’re liking rugby!
love this channel, you take the American roasts well i didnt see you get offended in the last video, plus you guys are unbiased which is why i subbed. not many yanks take a joke about their own country like you guys. really enjoying your reviews on brits stuff too.
British culture including Welsh, Irish,and Scots developed a kind of witty way of saying things , to ward off sadness we developed satire and irony 😃😃😃😃
Yeah I think it's a lot to do with the miserable weather being stuck inside for ages on end they became masters story telling and humor to cheer themselves up 😊
During the Civil War, and even after the war came to an end, Yankee was a term used by Southerners to describe their rivals from the Union, or northern, side of the conflict. After the war, Yankee was once again mostly used to describe New Englanders. Yankees have been important players in politics
I thought you were a bit touchy about the other video too🙌🏽but if you say you weren’t then I believe you👍🏽I know you will definitely enjoy all al Murray stuff anyway 👌🏽good stuff fellas😂😂😂
Cockney rhyming slang for Americans is 'Septic' as in Septic Tank = Yank, so cockneys who don't like Americans are known as Anti-Septics.
He did a series on Discovery Channel on The Second World War called Al Murray’s Road to Berlin.
Don’t know if you lads are interested, but Al Murray as the Pub Landlord had a short TV series in the early 00’s called Time Gentlemen, Please. Could be good for some content.
Love watching with u guys. Gr8 fun! xx😁💕
Great video, really enjoy watching you yanks - Al Murray Global Finance next would be amazing, I think you guys in particular would love it ;)
Al Murray - Nations of the world next, bit of a longer one but the way he sums up countries is hilarious
It was funny when you shouted “I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY EASIER!!”
Al Murray undefeated world war champions worth watching
Al Murray is a genius and fantastic to see live thanks for sharing your thoughts guys
You have to watch 'How Global Finance Really Works' explained by Al Murray 😄
Hi Guys ... great reviews ... Al is a Hero to some here in the UK ... if you can take some more , check out Al Murray - Why Bacon Proves The Existence Of God ... also - Why Scotland wants to leave the UK ... also try - Peter Kay - Misheard song lyrics
Al Murray - Nations of the World is another great one.
Great video guys!! X
Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets, it's a common myth. The horned viking helmet legend was from Scandinavian artists in the 1800s who popularized those portrayals of the nomadic raiders wearing the horned helmets in their equipment.
Watched the last vid lads. Take this as a compliment its not sarcasm
It was a barrage and you took it well. His nickname in the UK is "The Pub Landlord" that's why the beer.
loads of other countries call you yanks - that is the term we all use for americans - the english are great with rhyming slang so you lot are called septics from the english (septic tank = yank) 🤣
Gotta watch al Murray what he'll is like in other countries that's one of his best for sure
Uganda - he was wrong : beginning in 1894, the area was ruled as a protectorate by the United Kingdom, which established administrative law across the territory. Uganda gained independence from the UK on 9 October 1962.
You may not know the origin of the old term Americans used for the British, " Limeys " .... It dates from around the 1820's when American sailors could not understand why Royal Navy ships were shipping supplies of Citrus fruit aboard, to add to Rum rations ! They were mocked for this, until it was proven that the Vitamin C from the fruit had reduced Sailor's deaths from Scurvy, a fatal illness, from nearly 40% pa to less than 2%. Virtually all Navies adopted the practice by 1865, but the name stuck ....
I think people are just used to everyone getting offended these days so the comments a sort of a reflex action at this point 😂
😂Yeah, well said👏👏✌️
Al’s memory for facts is legendary.
I got hooked on the Inbetweeners and An Idiot Abroad reactions, now I want some UK music from you lads👀
Songer - Sunrise Session 🔥🔥
Keep going guys, when I get over to the US, we should have a few beers. Best reaction channel Ive seen.
Yes Al Murray took a degree in Modern History at Oxford. He has a very successful history podcast, about WW2, with historian James Holland, which is called ‘We Have Ways of Making You Talk’.
knowledge is power
0:45 nah majority of us know you ain’t pressed. Idk how tf someone would get that impression lool. The 1%
All love at the end of the day bro!
Great work. Just as a side note I am curious as to why you chaps wear caps indoors. When I am In the field playing cricket I always wear one to protect me from the sun but I can't see how protection is needed indoors. It must also mess with your hair?
Al Murray pub landlord spot on
This is one of Al Murrys best known sketches , I've seen this live and he is awesome
You guys should see what he has to say about the French and Germans. I've had the pleasure of seeing this guy live my sides hurt afterwards. By the way the beer is more of a prop for his show as he had a TV show called Time Gentlemen Please.
There was a show called pub landlord written by Al Murray and Richard herring
You guys might enjoy
We're all friends now though and if you lads make it over here to the UK one day I'll buy you all a beer!
“Yanks” has been a widely used nickname for Americans over here and has been to my knowledge since at least WW2. It is not widely known that in the US “Yankee” is much more nuanced from Civil War
Should teach history "and take over the world" now thats a win
Al Murray - How Global Finance Really Works 🤣🤣🤣
I think you guys would enjoy Al Murry How Global Finance Works, I think you'd appreciate the New York Stick Exchange part.
"All while drinking a fucking beer!" LMAO that was brilliant... Lol.
The beet is actually non alcoholic.
The guy is epic I love it and I am from the UK. You guys have a great sense of humor I really enjoyed watching this cheers guys!
Michael Batsford. If you are from the UK, learn to spell, it's humour, NOT humor!! Just saying!
@@mikdavies5027 Damn auto correct! 🤣
It's so nice being a nationality with more than a few years of history :)
And being a nationality that isn't obsessed with its own ego.... unlike some ;)
Saw his latest tour "Gig for Victory" two weeks ago in Chatham. I'm also a massive fan of his 'We have ways' podcast. Wife not a fan as such, but I've never seen her laugh as much since our wedding night 15 years ago..!
Nations of the world is epic, should be on the list
Nations of the world has to be your next Al Murray reaction he goes round the globe and roasts everybody, its hilarious
I think you chaps would enjoy the Al Murray Secretary clip.
You Americans call us Brits limeys, the name taken from the lime juice royal navy sailors drank every day to keep scurvy ( a skin disease that eventually caused the body to fall apart) away.scurvy is prevented by victim C , but in the days of sail no one knew what vitamins were, but during the first ever recorded medical trials the men given lemon or lime juice recovered from scurvy very quickly.BTW the German sailors didn't get scurvy without lime juice, they always carried sour cabbage on board which is full of vitamin C ...
His 'Nations of the World' act is hilarious if you haven't already seen it. My favourite from The Pub Landlord 😆😆
Brilliant comedian, he created "the landlord" character pretty quickly to compere a show at the Edinburgh fringe festival.
I think the character describes a type of English male known as a "Gammon"... White, approaching middle age, patriotic but very stubborn and opinionated..
Oxford educated historian as others have mentioned...he pokes fun at our own idiosyncrasies as little islanders whole berating the other countries... If we poke fun at you, we like you... If we ignore you completely be worried. 😊
The way he mentions a few historical events as if he prepared for a show he performed regularly is amazingly impressive and almost unbelievable
I saw Al Murray live back in 2016 the geezer is a British legend
great channel lads
Come on lads, it's about time you did another Al Murray reaction. It's long over due.
He's related to Alfred, Lord Tennyson... Hence his name. Very highly educated.
You were offended, blatantly 😂😂🙈
The historical points he brings up eg Germany losing colonies post WW1 are things most of us with a History degree that covered a wide area would know.
He is also well read on history generally like a lot of historians and lovers of history.
The best pub landlord
He was in the Royal air force aswell. I would recommend his tank videos he did for the tank museum
Hey✌️you fellas are gold, great reaction to Al again another one of his classics is his take on nations of the world where he shits on every country not being as good as Britain by holding and pointing at an inflatable globe👍
I think the amounts of serious comments left by Septics showed how touchy most are. I love the US, lived there for a few years with my veteran Brothers in Arms. They get the British sense of humour as I introduced them to Blackadder, etc.
Hahaha fair play watched the vs America and I thought you lads was taking it as an offence. I was wrong. Hahahahaha
Knowledge is power, the truth hurts haha.
Al Murry studied Modern History at St Edmund Hall, Oxford University. He's a real history buff.
Al Murray did history at OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
You guys need to do more al murray
Us English all know our history guys👍🏻🏴
Bollocks do we
