The sad thing is, when Steve Irwin was alive, most people in Australia considered him a 'national embarrassment', then he suddenly dies, and immediately becomes a national icon.
So, the difference between being an embarrassment and an icon is whether you're alive or dead? Pathetic
@venurm1286 I suppose that is sad, but I'm sure people were just intimidated by his quirky and larger than life "Australian" personality, because he was better than them. Deep down I'm sure he was always respected, as, after all, what was there not to respect.
You've entirley missed the point of his whole philosophy on life. If you don't understand something then don't start some kind of racist banter, fuck off and do it somewhere else!
guys te crowd is tiny, thats why it sounds quiet. Your probly used to comedians playing in huge theaters, when you see the crowd you realise its like a medium sized hall.
yeh the crowd here are useless! His best crowd were when he did his Live at the Apollo gig, I also think he delivered some of his jokes better that time too, shame that wasn't the one released!
Man the crowd he's talking to are terrible. I bet at least one person sat through that whole thing without laughing once. I know people have different tastes in comedy but some people are just hopeless.
ok, if you reference a retard as being the most powerful person on the planet where does that put you? And you do share values, both sides think they are right and fuck all if someone says different. British, Americans, same group of unrealistic assholes talking shit as if it matters.
@evilmurderproduction@evilmurderproduction for goodness sake he's a comedian, its supposed to be slightly silly. Plus he has a point, Americans are generally more angry people, you have shootouts every few weeks and the hate-comments on youtube are numberless. But thats only a generalization, ive been to America twice and met some really nice people.
@xXr4ndomXx I have shootouts every....what the fuck, do YOU assume it's ME doing all this fucked up shit? I guess you turned a blind eye to the fucking Islamic extremest. THEY DECAPITATE PEOPLE. NO one here does anything close to that form of atrocity. And yes, it's a broad generalization. I'm all for comedy, but not this hypocritical shit this prick spews. I'm sure he's the funniest fucking thing sense Jerry Luis over seas, no American comedian spends that amount of time trashing the English
@evilmurderproduction I wasnt talking about terrorism, i mean the campus shootouts featured in the news commonly. But yes there are generally irrelivant. And i have seen many American comedians ridicule the British many-a-time. Plus Markus makes fun of Londoners aggression, claiming the people of Norwich are 'inbred fuckers' and saying that Scottish people hate fruit and the sun. Markus makes fun of us too, we just laugh :)
Just FYI most Australians didn't like or know of Steve Irwin untill he died. He was famous for being on American and British Tv. We thought he was an idiot if we bothered to think about him.
However it is true there are always a few stupid people who react by doing stupid things no matter where you are in the world.
That's probably the only thing I admired about Bush. He wasn't afraid to let people know that like all people, had childish moments, leader or not. Who wants a robot for a leader?
Obama manages the responsible leader with general self amusing idiocy very well though, so things are looking up for America... from over here anyway.
@kattowitz4 So you're creating your own stereotype that British people don't laugh....You're clearly an idiot. I'm British and I laugh on a daly basis and so do most people I know. Prick

i don't. we have better education than the rest of the world INCLUDING the u.k. and I don't care if the brits make fun of America. every country has its problems and if people are going to make generalizations they should at least be aware that they are and not take it seriously. anyway, he's funny
In the 2006 assessment, the U.S. ranked 35th out of 57 in mathematics and 29th out of 57 in science. Reading scores could not be reported due to printing errors in the instructions of the U.S. test booklets. U.S. scores were far behind those of most other developed nations.
The only problem with university level education in America is that it's virtually unaffordable, so if you don't get some sort of scholarship: you're fucked.
But I agree with you on the point that every country has its fair share of problems and that this doesn't warrant generalizations.
Marcus is HILARIOUS. But there are people in the U.S who share values w/ the liberal Brits. Just cause our crazy Religious Right has taken over parts of the government, doesn't mean the rest of us have lost our reason.

"How do you make Iraq worse than it was before?"
Well, I doubt those who sanctioned the invasion the Iraq know the answer to that question, Mr Brigstocke. If you genuinely think Iraq is in a worse position now than it was before, you simply don't know enough about what's going on over there. I know it's fashionable to be against the war because George W Bush isn't qualified to be the US President, and before people spam my comment, I'm not commenting on Marcus Brigstocke as a comedian.
Wait, so thousands of people getting killed in suicide attacks, every other mosque or market turned into a battlefield or into rubble, open civil war on the street AND our own troops getting killed isn't making things worse?
Although I do have to say thankyou for being rational with your opinion, and not being as pathetic as many on youtube.
P.S marcus = LEGEND, can't believe I missed this tour ):
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, do you not think all that you mentioned were present in Iraq before the invasion? As Brigstocke himself says in this clip, it was "miserable over there before" (an understatement, if you ask me). And as for troops getting killed, if you think they are dying for nothing, that's your opinion. If you think they died removing a mass murdering tyrant after three decades of sole ownership of a country, then that's as good a cause to fight, and risk being killed for, as any.
I'm not saying it was nice there before, but since we did the violence has increased massively. Yes, it's a good thing that we got rid of Hussein, BUT we only did it as he was beginning to lose his sole hold over the country, and becoming less and less 'tyrannical'. Now that he's gone, in my opinion the troops are dying for nothing, as they are clearly doing nothing to curb extremist resistance either in Iraq or in the west, and more and more Iraqis are being killed and maimed each day.
Radicalized. No. If being invaded, conquered and occupied were enough to make people blow themselves up the answer me this: Where are the Tibetan suicide bombers?
Well Tibet is a naturally peaceful nation, the start of the conflict in Iraq from the Iraqi point of view was when America built army bases on sacred land, the Tietans have a philosophy that if they they want to feel good about themselves as people they give something away. And bless them for that they believe in the spirit of giving and the goodness of human kind, so they just let occution wash off of their backs in a sense. Thats probably why they aren't such a global powerhouse though...
ALRIGHTY THEN!! Let's go with that. Now, where are the Polish non-muslim suicide bombers? Where are all the Austrian non-muslim suicide bombers? Where are all the Russian non-muslim suicide bomers? Where are all the Indian non-muslim suicide bombers? All these people have been occupied at one time or another and you can't answer the evidence in hand. Even the kamikazes were informed by dogmatic faith, Zen Buddhism in their case where they revered Hirohito as NOTHING LESS than a god.
Look i was just making a point about the tibetans, i wasn't looking to get into a big philisophical debate with someone who has obviously got nothing better to do than argue with someone you don't know. It's childish, don't go into some giant rant about how i'm wrong, because i know that i am, i was just making a point, drop it and do something else to assert your inteligence.
Your point is wrong. Please have the intellectual honesty to change your mind in light of evidence. That's how smart people like us get smarter. In addition, if you knew you were wrong in the first place, why did you bother to type it? Stirring the shit perhaps? I could go with that, maybe someone will read the exchange and get something out of it. Salud.
My point isn't wrong, it's exclusive to the as an example, i know that not all nations around the world that have been occupied have sat back and taken it, but as i say it was an example. And as another example i will just say England.

So, you admit you're wrong after I prove you wrong and now you're NOT wrong? Where did you learn to disagree with your fellow human beings? The George Bush School of Flip Flopping Gaffes? Or perhaps The Storm Trooper School of Marksmanship?
Why are you so adament to prove me wrong, i admitted that i am wrong in most cases, but i have offered a couple of examples to the contrary, and if you look at my previous comment i only offered them as examples. So are you going to stop hounding me about this or are you going to continue to be childish so you can get your much needed ego points and intellectual erection you so clearly crave?
I KNOW! I'LL MAKE AN ENORMOUS GENERALISATION THAT IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT ANYWAY AND THEN ARGUE WITH EVERYBODY THAT HAS EVEN A HALF DECENT POINT, AND GRADUALLY BUILD MYSELF INTO A RAGE!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Grove2000 is a simonthehall "sock-puppet", showing just how bankrupt he/she is. But I'll address all three comments above, in any case. Your example was ignorant and specious as I demonstrated very effectively. Further, I'm not hounding you, and if you wish to continue this I'd be happy to but I will continue to oppose your position for as long as is necessary because, plainly, it is wrong. Occupation does not create a death cult: Believing that god wants you to martyr yourself for him does.
At no point did i mention martyrdom. I'm not saying that people don't blow themselves up in the name of a God, i'm saying that some countries haven't responded negatively towards occupation. Happy now?!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Tibet has responded very negatively to their occupation. Just not in a violent manner, which is an egregious error but that's just my opinion. Take a look at some national indicators such as GDP, birthrate, death-rate, infant mortality and so on. The more you educate yourself on the subject the more you'll find that all peoples "react negatively", but the difference in that reaction can be very accurately predicted based on the dominant faith those people practice.
May I just apologize to the... rest to the world as an American and if it were an option I would toss that motherFu#%$ Bush into downtown Baghdad and let the locals do what they like with him.. hehe

It's childish, don't go into some giant rant about how i'm wrong, because i know that i am, i was just making a point, drop it and do something else to assert your inteligence.

Your point is wrong. Please have the intellectual honesty to change your mind in light of evidence. That's how smart people like us get smarter. In addition, if you knew you were wrong in the first place, why did you bother to type it? Stirring the shit perhaps? I could go with that, maybe someone will read the exchange and get something out of it. Salud.

My point isn't wrong, it's exclusive to the as an example, i know that not all nations around the world that have been occupied have sat back and taken it, but as i say it was an example. And as another example i will just say England.

So, you admit you're wrong after I prove you wrong and now you're NOT wrong? Where did you learn to disagree with your fellow human beings? The George Bush School of Flip Flopping Gaffes? Or perhaps The Storm Trooper School of Marksmanship?

Why are you so adament to prove me wrong, i admitted that i am wrong in most cases, but i have offered a couple of examples to the contrary, and if you look at my previous comment i only offered them as examples. So are you going to stop hounding me about this or are you going to continue to be childish so you can get your much needed ego points and intellectual erection you so clearly crave?

Grove2000 is a simonthehall "sock-puppet", showing just how bankrupt he/she is. But I'll address all three comments above, in any case. Your example was ignorant and specious as I demonstrated very effectively. Further, I'm not hounding you, and if you wish to continue this I'd be happy to but I will continue to oppose your position for as long as is necessary because, plainly, it is wrong. Occupation does not create a death cult: Believing that god wants you to martyr yourself for him does.

At no point did i mention martyrdom. I'm not saying that people don't blow themselves up in the name of a God, i'm saying that some countries haven't responded negatively towards occupation. Happy now?!

Tibet has responded very negatively to their occupation. Just not in a violent manner, which is an egregious error but that's just my opinion. Take a look at some national indicators such as GDP, birthrate, death-rate, infant mortality and so on. The more you educate yourself on the subject the more you'll find that all peoples "react negatively", but the difference in that reaction can be very accurately predicted based on the dominant faith those people practice.

Marcus Brigstocke is a bloody legend.
He is such an intelligent and witty man.
And he appears to be able to pig-squeal.
Excellent stuff.
