[MK3B4YV6]

Manuel at 03:32 loooolll ;-)

[ascbay]

haha just realised half way through that it is mirrored ha

[Paralyzer]

American Mr. Hamilton -actor BRUCE BOA.10 July 1930 – 17 April 2004 RIP from star wars,played General Rieekan Episode V - Empire Strikes Back -

[MrDudler1]

Did anyone notice this video is backwards inside out? front desk on wrong side as welll as stairs and doors PRIVATE is writtten backwards on the door behind the front desk.

[zachsawyer8]

mr. hamilton could easily be american. canadians and americans talk almost identical, except when canadians say "out" or "about"...that gives them right away. they say it like "oat" and "a boat".

[Chopinrocks71]

Thanks for uploading. Been a fan since the 70's...

[SnappyPenguins]

Thumbs up if Kate Bush brought you here! :D

[madjack18]

that reverse zoom on Sybil at 10:40 is pure sex

[svrljig]

3 o´clock.

[mrbignose888]

Yes the american guy reacts a little excessive but i think this epsiode has the worst basil behavior of all. I really want to hit him myself in this... still a funny episode.

[DraciaNightcat]

I got an American fiancé. Thankfully better tempered!

[arlichar11]

why does she say 1485? as in seems like 4 ever/? or thats shes a creature of the night..or somethin

[fuzzballzz36]

@arlichar11 Your first guess would be correct.

[arlichar11]

i hate mr hamilton total jerk.... and 9 oclock is late 4 dinner.. why didnt he eat along the way?

not to mention if that the policy to close at 9.. and its closed then u just deal with it...

[arlichar11]

man at 46 secs was with a much younger skinnier wife and had son in episode 1.

[ukijhu97]

i can't watch anything mirrored here it changes the entire experience! it's like a different movie./series.

[dvdfan100]

don't they get rain over they!!

[dvdfan100]

screwdriver s are for screwing in screws, LOL

[dvdfan100]

if the Canadian dose'nt like our weather, why come over here in the fist place,

I was at a inverness hostle and there where two Canadian staying for 3 days

and all they did was complain and grumble about our wet weather,

if they want nice hot weather, they should go to spain.

[dvdfan100]

I would'nt want to spend the night there. LOL

[hfelton]

If Cleese had to portray an ''ugly American'' at least he could have cast an actor with a convincing American accent.

[Crouchenders]

am I going crazy - it's all in reverse

[Ine7tia]

@Crouchenders It's to avoid copyright.

[chicagofrank2010]

This is the best Faulty Towers episode

[LostOddity]

English cars have steering wheels, lol. I love Basil's snark. XD

[FGN123]

He's Canadian, but I'm from the US and I wouldn't notice it talking to him. Most Canadians sound a lot like Americans from the Upper Midwest and it can take a while to pick up on it.

[mindlesspup]

That's a real Canadian accent.

[AngusTheWolf]

god i hate this yank. i know not all americans are like this, but this guy can go fuck himself -__-

[raerae1281]

LOL, who expects orange juice to be squeezed fresh out of the orange every time? No hotel/restaurant could run like that.

[Tubulamarok]

Did anyone noticed that from 05:10 (until the end of this video) the image is reversed ? °_°

[jbriggsy]

it's reversed -- mirror image. How strange

[suffiice]

"More rubbish dear"

"What?"

"More of that bloody rubbish"

[TheRoyleFamilyFan96]

'We've run out of Waldorf' lmao

[Slazfreska]

Mickey Mouse money hahahaha the £ is stronger than the $ right now and has been for quite some time

[philnice1965]

Bruce Boa was a canadian actor. He also appeared in Kubric's 'Full Metal Jacket'.

[SgtRedstar]

Funny show but that American accent sounds terrible

[jimmy27paul]

@SgtRedstar Its a 1970s american accent. Accents change over time believe it or not.

[MrROTD]

lol Basil is hopeless, why is he a hotelier? XD

[mikelheron20]

Why is the image of this DVD reversed?

[staporinac]

Is that June Ellis on 0.42?

[fieldownage]

"Go and have a bit of fun with a Finn" :P

[pretorious700]

Bruce Boa is great in this. If you go to the big resorts in Thailand, you will see Europeans acting just like that, so it's not typical only of Americans.

[JoeyPencils]

why is the video flopped

[Waynes150]

"You could get your wife to sit on them", brilliant un-PC at its best.

[SJMJ91]

Only just noticed that the guy who plays arrogant American Mr. Hamilton is the guy who plays General Rieekan, a Rebel Alliance leader on Hoth in Star Wars: Episode V - Empire Strikes Back! :)

[CanineFeces2]

@SJMJ91 Now that you mention it....YES!

[FredrikWahlden]

@SJMJ91 he was also in full metal jacket

[SJMJ91]

@FredrikWahlden Who was he in that?

[FredrikWahlden]

@SJMJ91 That army guy who said is that some kind of sick joke to joker in the second half of the movie. I think he is in the trailer.

[1776AmericaFirst]

what kind of a screen name is CanineFeces2?

by the way thanks for uploading this, its one of my favorite episodes.

[mistofoles]

The guy Sybil is boring the tits off played a teacher (Mr Golightly) in an early series of GRANGE HILL!

[0rth0doX]

wtf yes everything is mirrored

[godluven44]

This whole backwards screen thing happens to not actually make this any less funny. So entire buildings get flipped sometimes. Are you gonna get worked up about everything?

[pretorious700]

@godluven44 lol, my thoughts exactly. What kind of anal retentive cares? Put the monitor in front of a mirror and watch the mirror if it bothers you....people are so stupid.

[feraldarryl]

Bruce Boa is (was) very Canadian. He also played General Rieekan in The Empire Strikes Back

[sehmi12]

Lo-ol Sybil Even Readin Her Book Backkwards Lo-ol

[excelbolt]

i dont know why, but the lady in the blue top reminds me of those cigarette breath ladies

[chimpshrimp]

I was watching this for a good ten minutes thinking, "Why are the buttons located on the left sides of the men's jackets? Was that how it was in the '70s?" not even noticing the entire hotel layout and "reception" were reversed. Something's wrong with me.

[SSKAIKSSK]

Haha since 1485 :P

[pulpstress]

You actually can do that in California..swim in the morning and ski in the afternoon. Not all year round, mind you, but it is possible.

[afertyus1000]

@pulpstress and in france etc

[SlashFlash93]

We want something hard - Er... toasted sandwiches? haha, classy :P

[julikzhulik]

@SlashFlash93 I think he said "we want something HOT", he ment like properly cooked food

[WeaponX1986]

I work in a store and feel like Basil sometimes. People can be so ridiculous especially at closing time haha.

[MsJael128]

That is a horrible American accent

[CanineFeces2]

@MsJael128 Are you American? Is he really American, or just an English actor doing the accent?

[MsJael128]

@CanineFeces2 I'm American and I honestly think he's an English actor or something other than American doing an American accent. It really doesn't sound like a regional accent of any type familiar to me.

[Jaymztm]

@CanineFeces2 AFAIK Bruce Boa is (was?) Canadian



[SeanByrne42]

@CanineFeces2  hes actually canadian

[julikzhulik]

@CanineFeces2 who cares, so far his accent IS horrible ...

[awhitsel]

@CanineFeces2 He is actually Canadian, which is about as close to American as you can get without being called American.

[Silentjackal]

@CanineFeces2 American's have never done bad English accents! =p

[Bubo25]

@CanineFeces2 Bruce Boa was Canadian, which sounds very similar to a lot of American accents, hence Hollywood employs a lot of Canadian actors in American rolls.

[bass2themax2]

@CanineFeces2 He's Canadian. 

[thefranksterboy]

@CanineFeces2

He's actually Canadian

[charlieiscool1000]

No he isnt american the actor who played him was actaully a Canadian guy but he prob did a californian accent or somthing for this program.

[mistofoles]

@CanineFeces2 That's Bruce Boa, he's an American actor, he was in the original OMEN, FULL METAL JACKET, and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!

[GSBConstantine]

@CanineFeces2 he's canadian his name is Bruce Boa

[monkfan72]

@CanineFeces2 A lot of Britcoms I have seen have had similar "American accents". When I hear that accent, it sounds to me like a bad cockney accent would sound to a Brit. I guess it's passable if that's what you think people in the States sound like.

[WonkaVator72]

@CanineFeces2 Bruce Boa was an Englishman doing an American accent. I'm American and think it's actually pretty good. For years I didn't know that he was English. I presumed he was a yank. In any case, I'll always love this episode.

[SavoyTruffle78]

@CanineFeces2:

He is Canadian. But that is not a "fake" American accent. I'm American, so you can believe me.

[tazgrento]

@CanineFeces2 He's Canadian.



[ivory1029]

@MsJael128 : He is a Canadian actor named Bruce Boa.

[brom16]

@MsJael128 As are all American accents.

[pretorious700]

@MsJael128 It's a caricature..the show is a comedy......duh

[SavoyTruffle78]

@MsJael128:

The actor is Canadian.

[gagalover2k10]

That American guy is a miserable cunt if I was basil I'd spit in that waldorf salad thingy!!! Lol

[2verycoolpeople]

hehe sybil's reading her book backwards.

it looks funny.

and the reception looks displaced lol

[Valbarca]

in some ways.. seeing it reversed is like watching a different show rofl

[SJMJ91]

"Bon appetit" *blows raspberry* XD

[spaceoreo]

It's still classic, even flipped. Just a little disconcerting after all these years. Thanks for u/ling.

[BenBanjo87]

Harry: "Couldn't find the freeway - had to take a little backstreet called the M5!"

Basil: "Well, I'm sorry if it wasn't wide enough for you. A lot of English cars have steering wheels!"

Harry: "They do, do they? You wouldn't think there was room for them inside!"

That is such fantastic dialogue! :D I love the way the characters bounce British and American values off each other!

[SJMJ91]

"Well, I'm sorry if wasn't wide enough for you, but a lot of the English cars have steering wheels." LMAO!

[SJMJ91]

The actor who plays Mr. Johnston was in the first ever episode as the "A gin and orange.. a lemon squash.. and a Scotch and water, please!" guy :P

[SavoyTruffle78]

@SJMJ91:

Nope, that wasn't him.

[SJMJ91]

@SavoyTruffle78 Uhh.. yeah it is. Look at his filmography.

[SJMJ91]

"YOU GET YOUR WIFE TO SIT ON 'EM!" hahahahahahahaha XD

[SJMJ91]

One person must've just pressed the dislike person for the hell of it! How can you dislike this brilliance?!

[Zwop1919Wxp1]

a classic

[dandaman62]

the reason is flipped is to stop the BBC from taking it down

[majorglenn]

It`s mirror inverted ... ;-(

Makes me bit confusing

[Aritul]

The American's voice reminds me of that of John Denver.

[astonjp]

Funny how the american wants a hot meal and then asks for a salad :p might as well taken sandwiches :)

[121Swaleskid]

American propiganda

[KingDT2007]

Ironic that now john Cleese lives in Santa Barbara County California

[Ben4MiValentine]

My favorite line in this has to be:

"I'm sorry if it wasn't wide enough for you a lot of the english cars have steering wheels"

It is an offensive joke but I can't help laughing at it and at the same time go oohhh.

[jimmy27paul]

@Ben4MiValentine Sorry i dont get it? what does he mean?

[Ben4MiValentine]

@jimmy27paul I'm not 100% sure so I most likely could be wrong but I beilieve it's to do with Basil taking the mickey out of him drving poorly because of the difference between english and american cars :)

[jimmy27paul]

@Ben4MiValentine Thanks very much.

[gunn2040]

funniest thing ive ever seen in my entire life, i could watch this forever

[TheLearningFish]

"Everything on the wrong side of the road?". Rather, everything on the wrong side of the screen! ;) thanks for the upload anyway!

[Diakron79]

@TheLearningFish I'm sure the uploader did this for a very good reason.

[WonkaVator72]

@TheLearningFish I think this happens when people use a trial version of an encoder or capture software.

[TheLearningFish]

@WonkaVator72 allright, thanks for the explanation :)

[rudhouse1]

lekkere milf die amerikaanse

[curufinwe03]

@trainsforyou

Are you O'really men?

[zimuqian]

I'm so confused. How did you get everything backwards?

[J0tunhe1m]

@zimuqian The whole episode's mirror-inverted in order not to come into conflict with copyright infringements. No, I don't know why this is the case either.

[myjohnnybaby]

Mrs Fawlty's book is backwards!!??

[sunshineclassic]

britsih comedy. Love it!

[cityside2008]

Classic!

[hettyu]

bloody love this show :-D

[SuperPenguins58]

Why is reception backwards??????

[Djembawemba]

@SuperPenguins58 Yes, I thought I'd gone mad, but everything is backwards! Haha!

[paoloblanc]

@Djembawemba just noticed that too

[nottinghamization]

@SuperPenguins58 The upstairs is back to front as well!

[RevolutionExodus]

@nottinghamization

well it is fawlty lol

[smellincoffee]

@SuperPenguins58 Sometimes people reverse scenes so avoid YouTube pulling the video down. Not sure how that works..

[BCraingirl]

@SuperPenguins58 it looks like it was taped back to front...the kitchen is usually on the right of reception. =/

[shabyyy]

@SuperPenguins58 the video is like, flipped...watch the hotel sign

[Obamanomics]

@SuperPenguins58 it'll get picked up by the copyright guys quicker the right way round

[julikzhulik]

@Obamanomics you mean the "Copyright Army" will leave it alone if it is reveresed?

[Obamanomics]

@julikzhulik yep- it's not people who check the videos- it's computers; people just use the reverse technique to fool the computers that check for these videos. I'm pretty sure they'll figure it out eventually though

[julikzhulik]

@Obamanomics thanks a lot :)

[davh1231]

@SuperPenguins58

it's all backwards.

[MacGyver920]

@SuperPenguins58 It's mirrored so that YouTube won't take it down.

[sjdrewe]

@SuperPenguins58 to avoid copyright :) silly but true

[problembehaviour]

No comments, only one like and only 559 views? What's wrong with this bloody counrty? Thanks for posting the best sitcom ever made.
