[afgrocks123]

O̳̐♍Ɠ :O that roy guy is hillarious

[binaway]

Wasn't the actor playing Roy Mallard charged with internet child pornography

[68deluxe]

the Little Britain guys owe a lot to this series - they've ripped off so much of it!!

[stegatops1]

"We cant mention the name of unidentified flight PX 407." LOL!!!!

When I saw the first episode it took me ten minutes to work out that it was a mockumentary.........it was done so straight!!

[silverspider05]

No Roy is played by Chris Morris, however Bill Nighy appears as a photographer in a later episode

[trigpop22]

@silverspider05  chris langham plays Roy....He also played Hugh in the thick of it

[hufclufc]

@silverspider05 you mean chris langham

[thebizzlehimself]

Is Roy "Nolland" played by Bill Nighy?

[waya7111]

"There's no time for small talk of any size now."

[emiller0408]

British humor is so dry

[minnietheminx]

In the radio version the captain was called "Nigel" which is industry speak for "British Airways Pilot" so we all knew who anonymair was!

[serwanPORTO]

looks funny for me

[MRGRANDTHEFTAUTOROX]

omg if u guys want to know what the airline is its britsh airways ok!!!!!!!!

[balok2]

One of the great things about People Like Us is the small details to which you have to pay attention. For example, they tell him that they'll be flying a 767. The exterior shots are of a 767, but the interior is not. When the stewardess repeats her announcement in French, she translates her name as well ("Eglise" is French for "church," and "Champs" is French for "field").  And the other stewardess pours "tea" and "coffee" from the same pitcher.

[emirates247]

at 3:37 there is a reflection in the window of a plane flying backwards lol.

[jamesjonesrocket]

does it make anyone else feel superior when people say ' I don't find this funny' :)

[smittyguitarplyr]

Heathrow airport is in effect a small city, with all the facilities and infastructure that a modern city needs, including its own airport. Hahahaha, love it.

[Emenon1]

My car stays on the ground though ^_^

[malmo66]

Q: Why are pilots big-headed?

A: Because travel broadens the mind.

[brgimscht]

[cs925]

LMAO @ 8:42

"...although it's a short flight by today's standards, it must still include the minimum number of at least 1 take off and 1 landing in each direction, as laid down by the International Laws of Physics."

F**** hilarious!!!!!

[vulgarmachine2]

"This is Erica Forester who as you can see didn't think I would be able to remember her surname" "It's Fielding..." HAH!!

[Ggio88]

good one, i really liked it, your british accent i love it too,

greetings from Spain

[KyuuriLover]

Is it Particle A or Particle A ? lol

[Karl0010]

I didn't realise there were so many people in this world that subtle humour would be lost on. Frightningly enough they are allowed to breed, vote and fly.

[toranamunter]

@Karl0010 they live in America. But probably couldn't find it on a map :-)

[shrivalup]

does vicki bennett have anything to do with this?

[sigreer83]

@shrivalup No. You arrived here the same way that I did.

I'm classing this as an accidental gem. I hope you enjoy subtle satirism, thought this was really clever with loads of really quirky bits you have to look for.

If you find any of VB's stuff let me know - she's awesome!

Easy

[Shinkansen1966]

Making the mistake of watching this at work. Struggling to stop myself laughing out loud. It's hilarious.

[theyeary]

They all seem very occurred.

[rahulras]

PX7TW FAIL!!! They tried to keep the airline annomyous :P lol

[knicoal]

"Flying is either 99% boredom or 1% sheer terror. "

[Fatihtheking]

he explains the lift of the wing falsely like most of the pilots and engineers do.

[audiracer85]

@Fatihtheking what's the correct way??

[Fatihtheking]

@audiracer85 actually the air molecules seperating by wing doesn't need to meet at the trailing edge that's a big lie, they say the path for the upper molecules is longer and since the molecules meet at the same time the molecules above the wing must have greater velocity, they do actually but not because of the so called "necessity" to meet at the trailing edge, if this was true symettrics wings shouldn't produce lift, angle of attack plays important role in lift producing.

[vuurfox]

Amsterdam xDDD

[shiniz101]

hahahahahaa

[ccashman5]

the guy at 1.30 whos he?, he looks familiar

[Polishsoldier1]

the guy they sent sounds like he lived in a cave for some time...(he dosn't know anything about the thing he has to report on) if he would just shut up it would be alot better...

[khllysf]

@Polishsoldier1 It's a comedy show man

[keneney]

Understanding Pilot life.

[pete5668]

lol!

[cfrosty6]

It is very obvious that there has been a great deal of research on this as much of the finer detials are spot on with actual flight preperation and terminology. Maybe I shoiuldnt be surprised by this but it is very impressive if you know what you are looking for.

[jsnavarra]

06:20 "Dont listen to them, you carry on"........ bbwwahahahahahah LMAO!!!!

[JerryLaw]

the guy answered "well.. set off earlier.."

LMAO

[infoburp]

[CHADEO1]

[retread01]

The intro voice over is hilarious.

[AlanF1956]

People Like Us was a BBC Comedy series of spoof documentaries. They're all piss takes of the documentary style. Clearly some of you haven't got the joke.

[N121WW]

Look at 8:51 the flight info says "Flight Simulator 2000 at the top" lol!

"airport...its a city with its own airport" - duh no S**t!

"lives in the hands of professional professionals" -again what the?? are there others kinds of professionals?

LMAO

[zkpilot]

Ok that was after just 30 seconds... now I see that its a piss-take... funny stuff :)

[donnchadh5]

this i porpusly narrated like this its comedy, ddduuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

[malmo66]

You have nothing more to say to me other than that? I don't really want to know if that is a lie or not, if it is a lie, it is a very stupid thing to say.

[malmo66]

Right yeah you really got me... aren't you clever, I thought you were going to ruin my career by crying to your dad saying SOMEONE OUTSMARTED ME ON YOUTUBE DADDY AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT! Why do I need to use smiley's, I am not smiling.

[malmo66]

Before you came along we were just joking actually, at least I was, nothing malicious. If you really think its worth pretending that you are going to sabotage a future career of a teenager for next to nothing then fine, have a nice life.

[UHOH74]

I smell a comment war! Anyways... I wish we had that kind of comedy here in America... BBC is great.

[malmo66]

Hmm what will you pass on exactly, someone called malmo66 is erm, well talking to me on youtube and erm well dunno. I don't know if your dad is in the CAA or not but if he is, why would he care about someone on. Is someone from the CAA going to some over and give me a good talking to?! I really have lost interest in this and don't know why you are arguing, I have actually said nothing offensive to you, you are just being petty.

[malmo66]

Actually I used my intelligence to estimate that there were more, you have just confirmed I was correct. You really put me in my place, I feel like I have learnt a valuable lesson, I'd like to end this conversation with showing you one particular finger or thumb, use you imagination to work out which. Be the big man now and don't reply to this.

[malmo66]

Also, if you were taught to use 16 D's why aren't you?!

[malmo66]

I'm sorry I don't understand the word idiot. Can you not use abbreviations plz like OMG should be OH my god, I am proper you see lolz, I mean wtf.

[malmo66]

Haha ok, by the way Director don't only has one d. That is the first of many stupidity correcting acts.

[yourseverywhere]

Oh What about your relationship with the boyd rice, is he again and again close to your heart.YOU MUST BE SO FUN WITH THOSE FRIENDS!

[sorted0blud]

1:06 theres alot of reasons there

[Karl0010]

The guys and girls acting as pilots and cabin crew nailed it to a tee!

[stilln68la]

precursor to the office.this one isn´t that funny.the estate agent is.

[zapkvr]

You have got to be joking. I thought they were all perfect. Chris Langham is a freaking genius.

[jenzeppelin]

"all of them put their lives and deaths in the hands of a small group...." lol

[modifiedcontent]

This is from before The Office. They were one of the first to use that fake documentary form.

3.27 - 3.30 ROFL

[Tuaregue100]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[TJW1979]

Another classic fly-on-the-wall/mockumentary/d­ocu-spoof, which paved the way for the likes of The Office & That Peter Kay Thing was 'Operation Good Guys' - the inept police force team!

[karedward]

[PianoManiac101]

Well, there is an unknown world isn't there! lol

[urquhart2001]

"The area we're going into now is called Ops." "Ops, right. And that's short for?" "Convenience." "Convenience, right ...."

[PianoManiac101]

[xterrasesc]

[blakemcclelland]

[highwingprop]

[freakybuzz]

Absolutely, 100% for real. It is exactly like this, 25 hours a day, 8 days a week.

[andymizzi]

7:00 Microsoft Flight Simulator

[ORIGAMI088]

At 3:26 the plane is flying backwards. LOL!!

[malmo66]

You certainly wouldn't fail a class 1 medical with spotting abilities like that.

[ORIGAMI088]

[Maryonpark]

[Nzeddy]

They say there flying a Boeing 767, but when there in the cockpit it looks like the Boeing 747-400 cockpit. lol

[goweb172]

[leon6266]

[PolxenTwo]

ROOOFLL!!

"CEPFS, or Cadet Entry Pilot For Short"

[hockeyplanes]

Brilliant!!!

[flyingaaron7]

haha, so many ppl just dont get quality british humor!

[aarperry]

[Fullperson]

OMG he's like my physics teacher:

[CalxP]

Umm lol this is funny xD

[CalxP]

Partical A or partial A?

[PolxenTwo]

Yes. Sorry. Right.

[NickKoji]

professional professionals

[cjwright79]

Best tv show ever.

[aviationwatcher33]

Why is the aircraft in the reflection of the glass flying backwards at 3:26 ??? :-)

[Karl0010]

You don't get humour either do you?

[gjuan26]

6:30 "with over 17 years experience behind him  in the air underneath his belt"

[braniffstyle]

No not in terms of thrust, in terms of the deflected air. As you have stated the combi of Bernouli's principle and Newtons 3rd law.

[lewisvann]

you actually have no idea what dry humor is do you?

[braniffstyle]

I very much do!

[lewisvann]

idiot

[braniffstyle]

He forgot to mention the other half of how planes fly, Newtons 3rd Law.

[Fullperson]

how do planes stay in the air lol

[dan64456]

Particle A has to pass thru point S to get to point F "T for time". What?, lets not confuse the issue. So Particle A has to pass thru point S to get to point F, then particle A has to pass thru poing S to get to point F. LOL

[MJD1701A]

But Erica sure looks good.

[crazypilot123]

The airline is Britania

[Shoxk]

That Amanda seems to be a real bitch

[ndyskater]

[lewisvann]

what a line!

although it's a short flight by today's standards, it still must a have at least one take off, and one landing in each direction: as laid out by the international laws of physics'.........genius

[spikey851]

which will travel faster particle A or particle A?,,lol,,particle A..science is easier those days

[merlot7oh]

what's really scary is that people actually thought this was real! pay attention people! ha!ha!

[robertodawhouse]

One of the greatest mocumentaries ever made. Bravo! The attitudes of the captain and his first officer are funny and so is the commentary!
