Robin Williams - House of Commons

[irkibby]

Bullocks???

[ripperasylum]

@irkibby my second favourite swear word

[tobyn123]

hahahah so fucking true!! the house of lords is stinks of drink!!!

[skeletorphd]

He got Thatcher down to a T!

[TacticalHub]

Robin Williams is renowned hack and would not know comedy if it bit him in the cleft. But he is right about British parliament. But what he fails to recognise is that there is a reason why parliament is like that. in the UK and Europe politics matters and still has teeth, unlike the US where the puppet congress has lost all enthusiasm to change the lives of its citizens. That job is in the hands of the corporations. in the Social democratic EU however the corporations play second fiddle.

[grantmitch1]

@TacticalHub Not strictly true. What you see in the House of Commons you are unlikely to see in many European Parliaments. The difference is the approach. Whilst many European Parliaments have a more consensual approach to politics, the United Kingdom has maintained an adversarial approach.

[knightryderrwn]

"Will someone **REMOVE** Mrs. Thatcher from the chamber!?"

[Wook13]

Funny as fook

[Medeasbiggestfan]

Robin Williams should really learn the difference between England and the UK.

[JordanWells15]

@Medeasbiggestfan No he doesn't, he is talking about the house of commons, which rules the UK. You are the one that needs to learn the difference between England and the UK.

[BenFosterism]

@Medeasbiggestfan The house of commons is made up of all political parties yet he justs pick England. Ahh god damn americans at times

[Masterfulmaniac]

He's completely correct! Jeez you gotta learn that we Brits dont mind a joke about our nation, it's when people take the piss and then cant all shook up when the Brits make a joke back... This man is hilarious.

[liampw20]

ohhhhh he's just soooo humorous.

[Welshman2008]

Sound pretty authentic to me lol

[Karateworm]

The Commons is where shit goes down. The Lords is someone for them to sleep off their hangover.

[Galianvincent1]

Hasn't got the british accent quite right but I still find it funny.

[ClutchFan1971]

This guy is so unfunny. No idea how he is famous.

[RonnocRetep]

@ClutchFan1971 very true. Not sure where the jokes are it's just pants

[JBHutto]

@ClutchFan1971 idk, I like Robin Williams as an actor (One Hour Photo/Good Will Hunting/World's Greatest Dad/Hook/etc) and when he isn't being all spontaneous he's okay. I hate his standup though, I just don't find it funny.

[gibbodude67]

It may be more indicative of a lack of education or intelligence.

Sometimes humour is best served with a hint of sarcasm and a splash of parody.

You're not American by any chance, are you?

[zzzzJAGJEETzzzz]

"I believe my worthy opponent..OH FUCK OFF!!!" lmfao!!!!

[CapPicard]

Bwhahaha! The House of Commons: Congress with a two drink minimum!

I thought Capitol Hill already had a two drink minimum, as much Kool-Aid being guzzled down around there!

[thoth4]

I wish the House of Reps had the same Procedures as the Commons. I bet loads of more Americans would watch CSPAN if that ever happened.

[yggdrasil89]

hahaha Brilliant, as a British person, any people who think he's blindly poking fun at the House of Commons really needs to watch the PMQs more.

[H4554nX0rZ]

I hate it how Americans always refer to us as 'England' and not Great Britain or the United Kingdom. How would they like it if we called them New York or California instead of USA?

[mikejw721]

lol!!

[swingbeeper]

LOL Robin!

Watch BBC PMQs every week.

Always good for a laugh watching the polititians abuse each other.

They say our kids have no respect!!

[franconbean]

@swingbeeper its true, but other than that its cool. yeah, PMQs, or PMQQs as i like to call it, is imo, the most entertaining thing in politics.

[PurushaDesa]

"Tony Blair : Militant Liberal"

Jesus, the jokes always come thick and fast with Robin, don't they?

[Willis2992]

@PurushaDesa Militant liberal by their standards.

[PurushaDesa]

"Tony Blair : Miltant Liberal"

Jesus, the jokes always come thick and fast with Robin, don't they?

[MTheChequeGuy]

If you have ever seen some debates from Prime Minister's Questions in England... you know what's he's talk about with that two drink minimum!  :-)

[mymagnoliatree]

We drink and swear... you shoot each other! It's much better to be creatively drunk!

[fso520]

@MTheChequeGuy Don't forget that the House of Commons even has it's own cut price bar where MPs get so pissed they get wheeled into the chamber, lighting fire to curtains on the way!

[imperailist99]

Hey, at least it makes our politics interesting. :p

[Medeasbiggestfan]

Robin Williams ALWAYS says England when often he means the United Kingdom. It is very annoying.

When he played Mrs. Doubtfire he spoke with a Scottish accent and yet said he was from England.

[topgear100]

@Medeasbiggestfan totally agree mate....i see you get a thumbs down from people there......bet its from the yanks, that the same as saying that theyre from canada!!!!

[mush1955]

@Medeasbiggestfan .....aye its bloody strange when you think Williams is a Welsh name !

[grundu]

@Medeasbiggestfan maybe its that England is the more popular country, oj, but it is like the main bit isn't it

[babuwhite2010]

@Medeasbiggestfan Cos people outside the UK, England, Britain, whatever, don't give a shit about us anymore!

[LoyalRoyalist]

@Medeasbiggestfan it takes a level of discerning that seems quite beyond him

[jsmith19810808]

I love robin williams hes histerically funny.

Great actor but hes just priceless in what he comes out with.

A real credit to american comedy is Rob good guy aswell, got allot of respect for this great man actor commedian hes just simply wonderful, he never has a time that Ive seen of him on TV where hes not had me in fits of laughter.

Thanks for uploading!

[nelsonr32]

"Will someone remove Mrs. Thatcher from the chamber" LOL

[bulked]

if only that had been said in 1979

[1989iw]

what does he say when he goes "oh fuck off, shit, (something), u bastard, fuck off"? i dnt know if he says foolish or bullet lol

[Vetis213]

shite bullets you bastard

[NaMgKCa]

"bollocks"

[IHuman437]

sounds like 'shout bullets' or 'shite bullet's'. dunno though.

[mymagnoliatree]

"shite, bollocks, you bastard!"

Not you personally... just translating!

[NaMgKCa]

"bollocks"

[NaMgKCa]

@IHuman437 "Shite Bollocks"

[TheThing88]

@IHuman437

It's "shite, bollocks" I thought.

[Triplesod]

@IHuman437 He means "bollocks" but for some reason thinks it's "bullocks", which is strange for a self confessed Anglophile like Williams who has spent enough time in Britain to know the slang properly.

[BorgUnimatrix]

Great Vid. Very funny man

[FireBreathSpeaks]

thank you for uploading this; i watched bbc parliament and was horrified to see the behaviour, and this is someone who has watched three classmates get booted out of school for various pieces of skulduggery. this makes light of it all lol thank ee mister williams

[VillaMan08]

LOL....that IS the house of commons.

[cchhppzz]

Its like congress with a two drink minimum!!!!!!

[Industrialdisease]

And yet again, the politics geeks fail to see the funny side. How sad.

[mrjay92]

am a brit and when he said "fuck off" omfg tht was hilarious lool.

[Kinlochbervie50]

i'm scottish and that's pretty accurate of the house of commons!

[TKE627]

hahaha Fucking brilliant

[kaledmasterme]

and theres bush goin s**** i cant even spell that LOL!

[KarmicOmen]

Oh, come on now ... lighten up people. I'm a righty and was able to laugh at GW Bush -- laughed really hard, in fact!

[speccyviking91]

Thats funny and pretty close to the truth too!

[TuRdSandwitch18]

this man is a real comedian not like fucking dane cook!!

[skeletorphd]

Frickin hilarious. Where is the rest o this?

[MajorStrasser]

That's it. Trolls will be blocked and deleted.

[MrRichardDawkins]

Shut the fuck up, he's not being 'racist to the British'. The Commons is a crazy place, end of.

[iamnotapie]

and thats why I love it :)

[LukeShoveller]

It's a 'crazy' place for half an hour every week, for the other 40 hours it's in progress or however long that week is, it is a chamber of great intellectual debate and extremely quiet.

[RenaissanceYann]

@MrRichardDawkins

Agreed. Im loving how its essentially complementary to us (British)

[active85858585]

@MrRichardDawkins yeah i agree - i am british and i fuckin love it

[WillShakespeare2007]

Wow! I am English and thought that was very funny. In no way did he put Britain down (oh an by the way a white person can not be rascist to another white person only xenophobic) and Williams is a Welsh name. He was just making a joke of the fact people to start shouting and jeering like they have been drinking sometimes at question time. Observational comedy and bloody funny too.

[denmachan]

This is hilarious....Robin Williams is ace!

[dukkha88]

gotta love that man. funny bloke.

[jpholmes7]

omg i wish people would chill out, its just a joke, he takes the piss out of bush more than parliament

[lutonmale1983]

What an ignorant portrayal of politics in the UK. His 'impression' is similar to that of laughing at a foreign persons accent speaking in the mocking persons language. Political debate in the House of Commons is far more vigorous, involved and intellectually superior to that in the Senate and Congress. Furthermore, there is more access for constituents to their representative in parliament. You 'Yank' flag waving sycophants wouldn't know real political debate if it smacked you in the face!

[kingbodup]

its stand up comedy, he's not being serious. fucking chill out

[kojimapie]

grow up, have you ever seen the hosue of commons?. its a joke, and i thought it was pretty funyn

[robtovsky1987]

Oh come on, that's pretty much how it goes in the Commons and you know it. Get off your high horse -- I'm as British as they come and I see the funny of this.

[Triplesod]

You have got to be joking, Luton? I feel so embarrassed reading your post. What a po faced, high horsed, devoid of a sense of humour, over sensitive, pathetic cretin! It is so sad that you would take this seriously! What is wrong with you? The Brits are renowned World wide for their sense of humour and especially being able to make fun out of themselves but when I see ridiculous posts like yours, I sometimes think that is being lost. You have used this to have a dig at the Yanks, that's all.

[Oakleafbearer1]

I agree I am from England and I don't care cause Brits make fun of Americans. It's the way of the world we all make fun of each other. And why is this guy getting upset with this he's taking the piss out of George Bush too

[Sansash01202]

I'd have thought Brits were more renowned the world over for their binge drinking, knife crime and corrupt politicians, but you're right we need a sense of humour to deal with all the shit this country has to put up with on a daily basis - better laugh at ourselves, everyone else is ;))

[DavidBIGdArruda]

Maybe we should elect comedians to office instead of uptight pieces of shit, that or I've seen "Man Of The Year" one too many times.

[jimmerding]

trust me mate, our knife crime is RELI small compared to loads of countries, i went south africa and there was like, a stabbing a day, maybe even more than that, we barely get a couple stabbings a week

[liveo1]

That's not racism fool. The word is xenophobic, and it's not that either. Learn the meaning of words before you throw them around. PEACE.

[kahuna390]

actually thats really fun. specially if your a brit

[importedmusic]

About as funny as cholera

[bringmemybow]

ha ha ha, hilarious... Cholera!

[warriorprince1010]

I cannot find any videos on this comedian Cholera.

[kahuna390]

importedmusic has a valid point

[bringmemybow]

that's because it is a virus, and the statement "ha ha ha, hilarious... Cholera!" is clearly irony. Don't be so reactionary... not everone on youtube is a silly little ignorant know it all.

WOW, look at that, i got completely drawn in to it!!! I see how easy it is, I appologise. Back to the green for me.

[danny88101]

I accept that American politics is shaped differently but they really should try to get to grips with the different nature of British Politics, Blair was a moderate (and some would say an authoritarian).

[danny88101]

Who on Earth would describe Tony Blair is a militant liberal?

[TriggerHappyJim2]

That's probably how he was perceived there.

- He joined the US in the war.

- In America, centre/centre left politics = Scandinavian liberal paradise.

[RuflessRecords]

danny, Robin Williams isn't a genius, but then comics usually don't know much about what they're making fun of

I'm aware of your unique British 60/40 left to right setup, but where the left is split up between Labour and Libs so the conservatives still have a shot. What I like about your setup there is that the liberals are all marginalized and can be ignored a lot. The moderate leftists control things. I'm opposed to the disease of liberalism.

[danny88101]

Yeah the LibDems here are a bit of a joke; their slogan in the next election should be;

'Vote LibDem, go on, just for a laugh.'

[quack453lovemite]

first off, there is nothing moderate-left about labour: they have sadly become hardline conservative just like the conservative party. Secondly, you are massive tool for using the term 'disease of liberalism'. it makes you sound like a nazi (not a million miles from the truth).

[RuflessRecords]

quack, yah you either agree with the socialists or you're a national socialist, sounds like standard liberal reasoning. Shortened form we usually hear is: "Boohoohoo, you don't agree with me on tax cuts so you're a Nazi".

Some symptoms of the disease that I oppose: no death penalty for serial killers, taking charity away from the people and having the govt run it, even though they suck at it, constant vilification of Christianity vs. complete tolerance for much more radical Islam

[kidjr27]

"comics usually don't know much about what they're making fun of"

LOL

[todnyc]

this routine is nothing more than a vulgarization just intended to get cheap laughs through a bunch of excessive swearing. Robin Williams is the world's biggest hack (and Carlos Mencia is his non-white counterpart)

[RuflessRecords]

true dat tod, there's a guy on Fox News who does the same thing whenever he runs out of funny stuff to say (which is once a minute or so), except he goes for the gay sex references instead of swearing. That RedEye host. (ooops I'm running out of funny stuff to say) Gay sex reference (darn, not again) gay sex reference (Maybe I should get writers after all) gay sex reference

[todnyc]

yeah i've seen that guy, he looks like some sort of fucked up fat goblin with gelled hair. Fux News is a bigger threat to democracy than any other organization in existence

[Roseh77]

lmfao

[IndianOpinion]

LOL
