Eddie Izzard - Prince Philip

[aksharawalia]

"What phrase in particular?" Hahahaha... this is almost as good as tea and cake OR DEATH!!

[MrBuch169169]

Pretty sure Prince Philip wrote the comment below this one.

[TalkToTheBody]

WTF is everyone bleating on about in here, stop bickering and relax in the knowledge that we all love Eddi Izzard. I am also sure as hell confident in saying that we all hate politicians and bankers too. So enjoy Eddi at her finest

[TheDeathCloud]

What the hell have the two top rated comments have to do with the video??

[sonnylegreat]

@CellPhoneVideo haha dude lighten up, it's called comedy cos you're supposed to laugh at it. The worst reaction anyone should ever have to comedy is not finding it funny. If you find it offensive you need to chill out...

[MrBrokat22]

Dont stay too long you will become slitty eyed !!! hahahahaha

[ciaradswim]

word vomit

[defenderofmen11]

Nearly spewed soda all over my monitor when he said "you're all a bunch of bastards!" Wasn't expecting it!

[Satanslore]

not that into the royall family but i think Prince Phillip is funny

[LordWellington15]

Prince Philip FTW.

[bronzeladdy53]

but we do have a say, but most won't bother because they're too busy watching my strange addiction on our ipads.

comedy is born of generalizations. jokes by nature can't be overly complex. get a grip?

[ChipArgyle]

It's not Prince Philip's fault that he's inbred. Poor guy.

[ChildOfDarkness12]

"you're all fuckers... why don't you all piss off?"

[permaveg]

@blackandproud75 That was a good cover wasnt it, he didnt seem to mind his sisters being married to SS officers though, oops that was dirt under the carpet, best hidden. The royal family, full of double standards.

[LondonIrishRover]

@blackandproud75 Well, that is one hell of a workload, I'm surprised he didn't drop dead at 25. lol.

[LondonIrishRover]

@blackandproud75 'He looks pretty good for a guy in his nineties too.'

So would I if I just sat on my arse all day.

[MrEddieizzardfan]

If I am ever chosen to be an ambassador, that is the speech I will use! "You're all fuckers. Why don't you all piss off? Your problem is you're all forieners! Bye!" No one will claim that we americans are rude and annoying (not to mention stupid, fat, and/or pregnant) after a speech like that!

[TinyTinyDog]

I love how people actually try to put actual facts and logic and serious responses on a YOUTUBE video. People must really have nothing better to do with their time lol

[ainsleywainsley]

This ugly toad isn't half as funny a Prince Philip, and Prince Philip doesnt even try

[mtav30]

The really funny thing is, that Prince Philip is also a foreigner, since he used to be a prince of Greece, although he is as Greek as the Great Wall in China. He seems to have forgotten it, though.

[popazz1]

Yup,where WOULD we all be without political correctness?! Oh,yeah,that's right,we'd all be in a wholly humourless world!

[happyjellyfish]

'You'd expect him to go on one of those ceremonial visits with a big bit of tape over his mouth'

XD

[bidefordrfc]

I know wikipedia is not exactly the best source of info but:

'Philip joked, "If you stay here much longer, you'll go slit-eyed."[75] The British press reported on the remark as indicative of racial intolerance, but the Chinese authorities were unconcerned. Chinese students studying in Britain, an official explained, were often told in jest not to stay away too long, lest they go "round-eyed".'

so once again the british media hyped it all up when those who should be concerned couldnt give a FK

[spanishsmartypants6]

"YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF BASTARDS! Oooh, I'm sorry. Was that bad?"

[Sweetlittlemystery]

"You're all foreigners.......byeeeeee."

So simple yet I can't stop giggling

[pepsibookcat]

Funny but sadly true.

[BroomeBlocker4]

Prince Philip has 10 accounts

[TheTruthseeker80]

LOL I love him! 

[MrPonko]

sheeeee' comedy!

was this boring weirdo telling us a story or a joke? I can't tell that well...

[jacksawild]

Our ambassadors actually used to be like that. Those very much were the days. I love Prince Philip, not that I agree with his views but I have to respect the only public figure who refuses to censor himself. Like when he asked a visiting aboriginal chief if his people still chucked spears at each other. He doesn't mean any harm and the man IS a fucking war hero. Leave him alone.

[caseycooper]

@containznutzrule I laughed out loud when I read your comment. so true. he probably was.

[haltykern]

eddie is god

[customcartoons]

like how the ambassador just ends with, "...byyyye." ^_^

[JenO293]

he's so funny, and i like his choice of clothing!

[bagel4281]

as an american i find eddies views on us hilarious its the steriotypical bullshit that jsut makes me laugh my ass off, kinda like the steriotype that all black people walk into a bank with a gun in the waistband of their pants... so not true

[mathewjohn5174]

he really said slitty eyed ghastly chinese, omg what an insult

[TheThreeWeavers]

@mathewjohn5174

Yeah, in the early 60s. I think most Brits had that view back then.

[msanniemc]

So true, my mam's got an entire book filled with Prince Philip's 'hilarious insights'.

[samsagitarias]

Prince Phillip LOL that is why his wife does all the talking !!! - much safer LOL

[aldernagon3]

Prince Philip IS nuts!!!!

[champsixnineone]

You're all fuckers!

[tygr49]

Love that suit. LOVE it.

[KiraJiroux]

You're all a bunch of BASTARDS! Woop, was that bad? HAHA!

[psychee1]

Well the fucker is exactly like that! :)

[GoldenXBoots]

He said slissy eyed

[WithAPinchOfSalt]

"Prince Philip, he's a card."

Love it!.

His suit is hot shit <3

[johncrwarner]

and when he mentioned the ambassador I though of John R. Bolton when he was US Ambassador to the UN. He did exactly that.

[hobaleo]

your all fuckers!!!

why dont you all piss off!!!

LOL

[CaroNabokov]

It follows other faux pas by the Prince including telling a British student in China he would get slitty eyes and asking Aborigines in Australia: Do you still throw spears at each other?

[xXHubcioXx]

FUCK THE SCHOOL BE A NINJA!

[snyder8686]

...sissy-eyed? Oh my God... XD

[yourfaceandmum]

slitty eyed

[TheLexusOfGold]

yeh he said slitty eyed...

[wrightherewrightnow9]

"Prince Philip, he's a card!" lol

[Tidde]

"What phrase in perticular?"

[KevinTanawong1]

sometimes I read these comments and wonder how old people are!

[llewcat]

old people are.....old.

DERRRRR!

[LisaJo89]

You're all a bunch of BASTARDS! ... Oop!

[111RobinHood]

I not only dislike the Royal Family but I loathe them as much as they loathe us! This concept that we should give them respect just because they do fuck all and have blue blood really goes against my concept of equal rights for all men. Now Prince Phillip, there's one Royalty who really makes no pretense to hide his disgust at us mere mortals. And what connections do they have with the Bilderberg Group? Plotting the New World Order this favoured elite against us? Damn them all!

[CellPhoneVideo]

Please continue generalizing Americans based on decisions our government makes that we don't really have any say in? It makes you look so intelligent.

[happyjellyfish]

@CellPhoneVideo You poor things. No say in what government you put into power, and you can't hold them accountable for not only what they do to other sovereign nations, but also your own people. I weep for you nightly.

It's people like YOU who give the intelligent, responsible, informed and engaged people in your country a bad reputation.

[thesIeepywiIIow]

@happyjellyfish Still with the generalizing? You should refer to the person as poor thing, rather than things, otherwise, your just helping to prove their point. That person's opinion doesn't stand for every american.

[happyjellyfish]

@thesIeepywiIIow Learn to read. Or better yet, read up on irony. That was the whole fucking point, the not generalising and ridiculing how idiotic the original comment was. But well done you, what with helping promote the stereotype that Yanks are too dim to catch sarcasm, no matter how heavy handed.

[thesIeepywiIIow]

@happyjellyfish Well coming from someone who likes everyone of any race, or culture, your comment gave me the impression you were being another shit head like most people who are proud of their own culture, no matter what country. If it was irony, you should understand internet lingo doesn't come in body gestures and facial expressions. It comes in simple, black lines.

[localbkk]

@CellPhoneVideo You voted for them, or are you saying your democracy is not working?

[keven306]

@localbkk we have electoral votes, those are the votes that count, not the peoples, we are just an opinion. we no more have a say in who is president than you have say on who will be the next one on the throne, and secondly, please, youtube is for users to upload, watch, and enjoy videos. yea we are entitled to leave a comment, but does arguing with someone 2500 miles away really make your day more happy? megapixels on a screen are all any of us are on here. grow up

[sajinkomamurachapman]

@CellPhoneVideo We do the same thing, don't we?

[TanakaJulian]

@CellPhoneVideo The whole point of Demaaaaakracy is that you do have a say in what your government does.

[desmondmyers]

@CellPhoneVideo Sorry, I'm American too but are you posing a question or a demand or what is going on the first sentence?

[harry8richardson]

@CellPhoneVideo And your inappropriate use of a question mark? the irony... and we judge u on more than just politics dont worry.. silly american :)

[Mccoins]

@harry8richardson Look who's bloody talking? Let this American fix your dubious grammar. Don't ever start a sentence with "And". Capitalization at the beginning of every sentence is a good way not to sound like a cunt. Hypocrisy at its finest is detailed in your atrocious sentence, I pity your family.

[harry8richardson]

@Mccoins haha sad.. just cause ur comment was stupid you dont have to go ranting to (effectively) no one... and the states is democ no? so ur government is roughly representative of the demographic.. stop pitying my family, stop complaining about our opinion and do something to fix it. And to the 33 people that like ur comment i guess this applies to you too.. but we both love eddie (im guessing) and isnt that what matters? dont negate that coolness arguing against due prejudice

[Mccoins]

@harry8richardson You can't fucking read chap, I didn't leave a comment that got "33 people to like it". Your dimness outshines the stars.

[harry8richardson]

@Mccoins haha touche ;) x

[butler234]

@CellPhoneVideo well u voted for them...

[girlgoneweirdo]

If you don't like America, then you can git out!

[SpawnofHastur]

Personally, I like the royalty, but not in a 'yeah let them rule us, woo!' sense.

Effectively, they're people who have, in the past, shown that they're really sucky at ruling and have as such been kicked up stairs to the point that they can't exactly do much. Now, in my country the Governer-General has power, but he can't flaunt it.

The royalty pays lip service to history AND keeps us from being their slaves. Sounds good, no?

[PrincessT87]

Let alone Canadians being STILL bound to their regime after how many centuries? We still have the Queen on our money!! Wtf!

[BringerOfD]

i dont see whats wrong with having the queen on our money. she looks alot damn better than Harper

[swollower]

Nice choice of language here. Nice to know we can all use it properly and to its full advantage. Theres amoeba on Mars with more brains,honestly .

[macky111222]

hes married to the queen paddyboy.

[macky111222]

prince phillip is a patriot

[paddymourinho]

yeah, a patriot from germany lol

[RobertJamesAlexander]

the queen is german, her last name isnt windsor, its sax-cogurgh gotha

phillip is greek, he was born in corfu

and they're all twats

[Mullahgrrl]

Actually they changed name during the first world war, so its windsor now.

[RobertJamesAlexander]

yes i know that- but if hitler changed his name to gandhi, he'd still be hitler u fool

[Mullahgrrl]

well, no then he would be called gandhi.

[RobertJamesAlexander]

a racist fuck by any other name....

[Mullahgrrl]

Is called something else.

[RobertJamesAlexander]

that was my point you dildo

[madu86]

what is your point exactly "yes i know that- but if hitler changed his name to gandhi, he'd still be hitler u fool "?? he would be called gandhi and btw he did change his name from Shicklegruber to Hitler.

[Mullahgrrl]

I wonder if he would have been as politically successful as a Shicklegruber.

[Mullahgrrl]

I am not a dildo.

[shadey788]

wwo what a retard

[legolasisagirl]

my true respect for the royal family died at the age of 6 when i realised that they dident wear flowing robes, marry beasts that transformed into men, or were actually mermaids devistatingly in love.

[sargem06]

The royal family are a relic of the past ands serve no real function as they currently stand, and before any says the bring business to this country thats an old wives tale. They need to be more in line with other european royal families. How ever Prince Philip did make me laugh with his comment when visiting Austrailia once - when asked by Immigration Official - 'Do you have a criminal record' his reply 'didn't know you still needed one to get in here'

[HerBritannicMajesty]

Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip are great. God bless them :)

[WKaliber1]

prince cuntlip

[nausinora]

fuck me that's funny

[enddogmanow]

"Prince" Philip is a pompous, ignorant prick, an unfortunate legacy of the dark days of european history, as irrelevant and outdated as the monarchy itself.  That a nation could still view being born into power and position as acceptable beggars belief.

[healthyegg1]

chill out

[nausinora]

I agree

[edwards233]

Fuck you dont slag off the royal family

[enddogmanow]

edwards: "Fuck you dont slag off the royal family".

Why not? What makes them immune from criticism? Their luck at being born into a position of prestige? They are outdated, archaic and a remnant of Britain's dark past. The sooner the better the monarchy is ended - by the way, fuck off you ignorant and infantile moron!!

[edwards233]

A monarchy is a great thing, there are a figure head they have no real power but its something to shout when jumpin from a trench in a war "FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY"

[enddogmanow]

edwards: why not just shout "for country"? - why do you need to glorify a person who is in the position she is due to birth alone? That's why britain is WAY behind the rest of the world in maturity.

[Sneebs]

I'm so glad you're committed to the dogma of ending dogma. Your life appears to be ruled by it. I wish you well in your quest to convert all to your world view, which in its own way, is rather like a religion...

[maximonti]

If you think that then why are you watching Eddie Izzard?

[spotlitkiss]

oh god - your life must be so fun - waiting for the next war to validate your existence. christ - move on mate, move on

[EmmalovesDarcy]

I'm with you-people should leave the Royal family alone!!!

[theoriginal72]

Why?

[EmmalovesDarcy]

Because they deserve loyalty as our monarchy. I'm proud to have them as my Royal family.

[theoriginal72]

But it's not a monarchy anymore.

[EmmalovesDarcy]

It is true that it is a constitutional monarchy and not an absolute monarchy but nevertheless they deserve respect from people, just as you would want to be respected.

[theoriginal72]

Respect, not loyalty.

[EmmalovesDarcy]

Fair enough, i am a fan of them and all they do in light of having to put up with peoples constant criticisms so perhaps i wrongly equate respect with loyalty, however, i still say that they deserve at least your respect if not your loyalty-it doesn't mean that either one of us is wrong-we just see things differently.

[theoriginal72]

Well yes, they of course deserve your respect just like any other human being, but to say that somehow they should be treated like they're your betters is just silly.

[EmmalovesDarcy]

Ok.

[ScarranHalfBreed]

Derision, not loyalty OR respect. They do nothing to earn either from me.

[spotlitkiss]

i'm not totally bothered but i can certainly see your point - and why people are disagreeing with you is just weird. like royalty need defending. at least they wield no political authority - we've got the prime minister to act like the monarch now. lol

[londonboy87]

im a big fan of prince phillip and i get annoyed when people really get offened by what his says, this was very funny and izzard didnt it well.

[nausinora]

he's a wanker

[angelkeyblade]

anyone wo thinks my uncle izzard is cool say aye

[CharlestonArtist]

Completely unfunny - zero stars.

[cybawatt]

What, are you a tree or something? Or did your sense of humour get shot off in a hunting accident?

[CharlestonArtist]

At best, it's comedy for beginners. No subtlety, satire, subtext, or wit - just hammed up, highly-predictable cartoon humour.

[wwyd4akb]

ok so wat do you personally find to be entertaining?

[bobsaget987654321]

breakfast

[wwyd4akb]

jam?

[bobsaget987654321]

both

[projektbrot]

please stop xDDD fuckin funny you guys

[nandoscmatic]

The only conclusion I can come to is that this is the only clip of Eddie Izzard you've ever seen.

Either that or you're just a miserable twat.

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

@cybawatt Yes. It was The Vice-President, thank you.

[Pamathey]

He kills me.  I love him. 2 weeks and counting til I see him in Chicago. Can't wait.

"Bye." haha

[abcd21690]

Hilarious!!!
