  • Could somebody write text of this?

  • @calsbergus he says gestapo officer.

  • Probably his funniest/smartest bit.

  • When I first glanced at the title of this video, I read it as 'Jack Dee Lives at the Apollo', and became momentarily confused at how that was possible. Yes, I am that stupid.

  • Nice 1080p

  • got me there.... LOL..

  • @Supersesqui LOL to potato-based comedians

  • 0:42 is that dara o brien?

  • @Joooliuss

    Yes. or possibly some other Potato Based comedian.

    (Dara O'Briain )

  • 1000 points for the bmw commercial popping up

  • @kennethRH That would be PERFECT! 

  • Germans are awesome!

  • i love michael mcintyre

  • Can someone explain the last joke?

    His grandfather had a Mercedes that broke down often which was embarassing because he was a Gestapo officer? That makes no sense...

  • @1p2o3i Well initially it was implied that his grandfather sufferered at the hands of the germans during the war, so the fact that in the joke his grandfather was one of these germans causing said suffering IS the joke. It makes perfect sense

  • @Rodderz123456789 Maybe logic, but not funny. :/

  • @1p2o3i It's not funny when some one has to explain it to you, I suggest you get an education, if you can't under stand that joke.

  • @Tommyfungun Yeah, that's it.

  • @1p2o3i wow looks like we have a mixed ability groop

  • Dara O'Briain :43 :DD

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    

  • looks like Greg Kinnear

  • Mmmmmmm Kirsty Gallagher at the end

    So fit

  • The real jokes are the comments.

  • Why are there adverts at the beginning of some BBC Worldwide YouTube videos- isn't that breaking the BBC's non-commercial guidelines?

  • @SuperTruth77 no it isn't because BBC Worldwide is the commercial arm of the BBC and is not funded by the license fee but by adverts.

  • @SuperTruth77 I don't think BBC Worldwide has a tie up with Youtube. Hence, although you're watching the videos uploaded by BBC Worldwide, the advertisements generate funds for Youtube. BBC I Player doesn't have any advertisements.

    Thanks to the TV License fee!

  • @MegaTandrus You're an idiot, if you didn't study the war don't leave stupid comments.

  • @MegaTandrus wow, clueless. go read some more mainstream media.

  • @MegaTandrus Well done america, you sold arms to both allied forces and the axis powers, made a hefty profit guaranteeing you were the only country to come out of the war better off, before provoking japan into bombing the shit out of you with planes you sold them, which you knew was gunna happen, but wanted an excuse to break your isolationist policy so you could jump in just as we were beginning to win and make yourselves look big. bet you feel mighty proud of yourselves, wankers.

  • @rabbitspliff and to think that their justification was something along the lines of "we don't want to interfere "

  • @rabbitspliff You talk utter bollocks.

  • @bond007db9 Other YouTube users and Harry Truman say otherwise. That, plus a fair amount of material within the history curriculum taught in our schools (America's Isolationist policy whilst exploiting the war to boost their industry and economically coming out of the war better off than anybody else) - I'd rather trust state education over somebody who merely states that I "talk utter bollocks".

  • @rabbitspliff What part of you talk "utter bollocks" do you not understand ? With your spelling it is clear you are an uneducated fuckwit. I suggest you go back to scholl and get a proper education you bigot prick !

  • @bond007db9 your argument is weak. you still haven't justified exactly which part of what i wrote was "utter bollocks" and why, and whilst assuming that i am an uneducated fuckwit on the basis of spelling (my errors being not capitalising the first letters of proper nouns, and writing "going to" as "gunna" which is slang), you managed to spell "school" incorrectly and use "fuckwit", which you won't find in the oxford dictionary either.

  • @rabbitspliff Look you talk complete and utter bollox and you are making yourself look a bigger cunt than you already are ! You do not have a clue what you are talking about. Now fuck off because with your lack of intelligence i wont bother to respond !

  • @bond007db9 wait... what's that. more bullshit unjustified claims at me talking what you - master of all spelling - have now dubbed to be "bollox"? I don't know whether or not i should "fuck off", as I'm yet to here a valid counter-argument from you that doesn't merely describe what I said as "utter bollocks/bollox" or hypocritically attack my spelling.

  • @rabbitspliff actually fuckwit is in the dictionary. I've seen it in a French-English dictionary as well, there's usually quite a large section devoted to derivatives of the word fuck. 

  • @bond007db9 As for being a bigot[ed] prick, I admit a slight anti-american sentiment does cause me to exacerbate some points in bias. However, what I said was based on truth and my opinion on it based on a dislike of people profiting off the killing of other people. If that makes me a bigot, then yes. I am a huge fucking bigot.

  • @rabbitspliff LAWYERED!!!!!

  • @rabbitspliff You're right, do feel free to blame a whole nation and all of its people for the actions that their previous governments made.

  • @Toadsanime I'd normally agree with your sentiment, but in the context of the comment I was replying to, I didn't see need to stress over the wording.. most likely they did not contribute to any of what i listed, nor will they have contributed to the WWII war effort, but they were arrogant, ignorant, and with an unjustified nationalistic superiority complex.

  • @rabbitspliff Hey, thats politics, why don't you deal with it.

  • @Fexcilie That's the most ridiculous comment i have ever read. He is clearly trying to point out the false assumptions made by the general population, assumptions that are peddled by the American government themselves. America won WWII for us? No, if anything it was the Russian influence that turned the tide. Fuck America and its politics.

  • @jakenielen92 ...It's still Politics.

  • @rabbitspliff lol you mad bro?

  • @MegaTandrus

    "If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way we let them kill as many as possible." - Harry Truman.

    Those who have a profit incentive in selling arms used to kill people have no conscience at all.

  • @MegaTandrus Bitch got OWNED! :D

  • Bearing in mind the video is a joke the comments sure are miserable

  • Is that dara o'briain sitting behind the audience member shown at 0:42???????

  • @petwheen yes it is!! :-)

  • @petwheen Yes it is...

  • @petwheen Looking for some new material perhaps?

  • @petwheen Yes I actually think that is :')

  • @petwheen It is :)

  • @petwheen sure is

  • @petwheen i'd say yes it is....

  • @petwheen ...id say it is, sat next to H from Steps.

  • @petwheen Yea, I think so

  • @petwheen It is.

  • Comment removed

  • @petwheen Yes and the loud "ha ha ha ha ha!" laugh after the "unreliable cars" punchline sounds like his laugh.

  • @petwheen Definitely Dara at 0.42.

  • @petwheen Good eye :)

  • @petwheen YES!!!!!!!

  • lets just end all the youtube arguing over issues like this right here right now. lets all agree that we all hate each other, very much, and we dont have to talk about our issues on here. just comment on the video, dont go off on one =]

  • knowing all the american security services are watching this, and all my personal accounts because of one post which was only for laughs, this clip is amazing!!

  • Talk about some seriously brilliant punchlines, Jack's too hilarious

  • Oh God that was funny.

  • im british and lived in germany for 5 years. baaaaaanter :L

  • I just read wikipedia before watching this clip because I wanted to see if Jack really was adopted (no he wasn't) and it turns out that his mother's great uncle was 'motor engineer' to King Edward VII... fits very nicely with this joke :D

  • Its hard not to see Germans as Nazis.

  • @OriginalJoseyWales then go to specsavers

  • @verygoodbrother lol most of us have got over it but with imported american telly ...

  • @OriginalJoseyWales you should go on holiday to germany, you'll feel more relaxed about the country when you exerience it like it is now, :)

  • what offcier now?

  • Gestapo. The secret police of Nazi Germany.

  • Ge-heime Sta-ats po-lizei

  • this is just...truly classic...i remember the first time i saw this i saw it LIVE i was one of the lucky bastards who was there...I LITERALLY PISSED MYSELF

  • @MattySP34Ks you urinated in your trowsers? fuck that must have been embarrassing

  • @MamiyaOtaru yeh it was...but was TOTALLY hillarious

  • alistair mcgowan

  • anyone knows who made an impression of fabio capello speaking only a few english words?

    It was in the apollo.

    thanks for answers.

  • Comment removed

  • haha thats one clever joke

  • Absolutly Brilliant..

  • You're an awful attempt at a joke.

  • this country is like 70% german cars..because their reliable and they hold value when it comes to selling. plus theres agreements with both countries for trade..

    mg went bust and were bought by chinese. they sell rovers to other countries because here not many people want them.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah and?

  • and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

  • In short because German cars are better. Who can argue with BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volkswagen and Porcshe

  • A pal of mine works for BMW and you should hear the horror stories about what goes on at the factory in Munich - only BMW salesmen really think their cars are the best cars money can buy. BMW make a good car sure, but if you want reliability, Japanese is as good as most and you will have some cash left in your pocket.

  • I second this.

  • sscrystal10 - Statistics of small numbers and observational selection fallacy.

    That answers your question.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • sscrystal10 - Straw man fallacy.

    I also like that you deleted several comments. What are you trying to hide?

  • ...And I´ll delete all of them (comments), I never thought I could become public enemy number 1 in the internet for a small comment, I opened a door to scary web-stalkers such as you. Goodbyeeeeeeee!

  • sscrystal10 - No, you're not an enemy. You're just a pathetic idiot.

  • ohh yeah that is Dara :L never noticed that before

  • very cool video. i love jack dee

  • ohh yehh... he is there lol.. i've seen numerous episodes of jack dee live at apollo and Dara O'Briain has been sitting there :) x

  • Pause at 0:43... Dara O'Briain. I've watched this clip several times, only juyst realised he was sitting there. lol

  • jack dee is 1 of the best comedians

  • It's funny, because I'm English and my German flatmate is looking over my shoulder reading the comments posted here, and we both think that arguing about it is stupid and hilarious.

    Germany and England sort of joke around with each other these days, it's cool.

  • @BlightedArt You joke around with the holocaust? I'd hate to see that conversation. "hey chap, I got a joke for ya" "what did the jew say to the nazi?"... "what?"... "please don't kill my family in a gas chamber"... "har har har good one chap! Chip chip!" *drinks tea*. Just another day in a jew killing paradise!

  • @AngrySackBoy theres a difference between being friendly to a German, and being a Nazi.

  • @AngrySackBoy You are a misguided American cretin, for the following reasons:

    1) I barely ever use the word 'chap', and nobody else I know other than my grandad does.

    2) Not once is a mention of Holocaust jokes ever used.

    3) We don't all drink tea. Like me, for instance.

    Go and take your hate-filled Amercian nationalism elsewhere.

  • @hotelmario510 We're not all 'hate-filled Amercians' either. If you find someone who likes spewing misguided views about your countrymen, don't pin it on being American - that's just as misguided. Chalk it up to the fact that they're a misguided individual.

  • @bicarbonat I wasn't calling you hate filled Americans. I never said that. I simply said to this person they had hate-filled American nationalism.

  • @hotelmario510 It's just a little disconcerting, this reiteration of 'American' as a specifier in conjunction with negative labels lol If he's a cretin and he's hate-filled, fine. He could be from Abu Dhabi or Wales or Mars...his being American is purely incidental.

  • @AngrySackBoy DO NOT FEED THE TROLL

  • So fuckin what it's friendly rivaly. When you see a german u say 'ha heyy, we won the war, but then spend the next half hour talking to them'. If the fun stopped it'd be because of pricks taking shit to seriously.

  • Hear, hear! Humour is a way of reminding people of atrocities in a more tasteful way. We Chinese don't do enough of this sort of humour against the Japanese and the result? Hardly anyone in Japan even knows there was a Sino-Japanese war where millions of our lot were massacred. Or they think we made it all up.

    I've nothing against the Japanese people, just the government of the time, and I am sure any Briton finding this funny has absolutely nothing against any German, either.

  • I don't have anything against Germans (yeah, I'm British), and I find this hilarious!

    Oh, and, Sino-Japanise war? Sorry, I must plead ingnorance.

  • WWII was not just the European theatre; in Asia the Japanese were expanding their empire. In layman's terms they were to us what the Nazis were to the Jews. Heaps of people killed, often in horrible ways. There's precious little in east Asian culture that treats the war in a humorous fashion.

  • Im getting annoyed of the yanks moaning that we are apparently racist against tthe germans.

    Two jordies go to america to help rescue victims of 9/11 after a few days they men are still there working dawn til dusk trying to save more people. Eventually the firechief decides he should thank the two men for all thier help. Get get to talking and he asks them where hes from they say newcastle "what states that in?" he asks "Well its in a worse state than this" they reply

  • Having seen German responses to England losing a football match against them, I have no doubt that had they won the war they would not let us forget the fact, even 60+ years on !

  • if america wins a war they call it a war, if they lose they call it a massacre instead of saying they lost. turns out if america was with the taliban we would have ended the war on terror in a year coz that way less allied servicemen would have died and the americans would have killed all the taliban through friendly fire

  • @Korentokuulla : That's just because America NEVER loses. Oh, and that war on terror you speak of, yah well, its ONLY being waged by America. Everyone else looks just flat pathetic in comparison, and I'm Scottish! Even I can see that mate. Hey, no hard feelings. It's like they say, why fight for the earth? Because it's America's earth ;D.

  • @Aeontre no America does lose, mainly when it's not backed by supporting countries,

    yes america is waging a war that there doesn't need to be, the other NATO forces are providing protection to the country and the soldiers there, that is their mission in the "War on Terror", and its not America's earth yet!

  • @Korentokuulla

    Really, you are a moron.

  • Don't get hung up about the history involved, this is truly great comdy.

    Playing on peoples expectations and delivering a shocking punch line, I became a Jack Dee fan while watching this.

  • I think it was meant ironically, wasn't it?

  • nice classification system you've got there.

    i'm english and i've been living in germany for 2 years, and i love it out here.

  • We dont ALWAYS have to bring up the whole WW1 & WW2 thing, we've always got the Cup Final as well

  • Well the Germans would ALWAYS mention the war if they'd won..but they dint...cus they suck = )

  • For you guys perhaps xD We still giggle over it all :P

  • Yeah, exactly. If the germans won the war, You'd all be going on about it. But we won :) and we could probabley do it again :)

  • oh yes sure you would...you are so cool to say this :-) how could I even think of writing a comment that says that I think it's pretty pathetic to make jokes about such a terrible thing,and after more than 60 years the English people just can't get over it.And when I read things like "we still giggle over it all" or "Germans suck because they didn't won" I feel like you really don't understand what history is!! We Germans like English people but sometimes we wounder which year it is up there.

  • Taunting the Germans about the world wars is driving people to support Neo-Nazism. The most appropriate thing to say would be "It's not the Germans who lost the war...It's Hitler who lost the war".

  • Who followed hitler?

  • The party of Jacques Doriot in France,the Rexists in Belgium,the Iron Guard in Romania, the Hungarian National Socialists,

    the Croatian Ustachi,and the German-American Bund in the United States were all affiliated with the Nazis.And since u are from Britain, a more befitting reply would be to ask you to look up on the "British Movement". You might also want to look at the anti-semitism of John Tyndall's British National Party. Spare the Germans. Everyone is equally tainted in world wars.

  • Beefeaters, London cabs, double-decker buses and cobbled streets—it's 2009!

    (Just to show humour works both ways and everyone's fair game, rather than moan about Britain always taking the mick out of Germany.)

  • Ok, all well and good but to be honest that makes no sense, london cabs...a taxi in london, double decker bus...a bus that can fit twice as many people in it, whats so silly about either of them? The other two are pretty pointless though, just tradition.

  • This is how people overseas perceive the UK. If you look at the way the country is marketed abroad, it rests on these stereotypes. So Brits talk about the Germans and the war, it's equally fair game to take the mick on a false image of Great Britain. It doesn't matter if it makes no sense to Britons—joking about the war doesn't make a lot of sense to the Germans, but we still do it.

  • its called having a sense of humour about yourself, you find a stereotype and take the piss, thats comedy for you... its a joke

    if you dont have a sense of humour then what the fuck are you doing here

  • It makes as much sense to a Brit as war jokes to a German. That's my point.

    They are funny when you consider that some people believe that's what Britain is about, or they are the things that come to mind. Just like people who think the Germans are all about WWII, leather trousers and green hats.

  • let me guess another yank

  • He draws you in and kills you with his punch lines!

    LOL: That's pretty embarrassing for a Gestapo officer isn't it?

  • oh yes check infowars, cock, oops!

  • I will not have my British heritage undermined by a lower-case 'b'! (Even if that heritage is the passing-on of dullness and ugliness.) Ha! Just joshing.

  • I will not have my British heritage undermined by a lower-case 'b'! Just joshing.

  • Fucking hilarious.

  • i didnt make that connection actually. if you read what Jinflames wrote, i was only replying to it, explaining what right wing is. and as a jew i know exactly what hitler has done.

    p.s. i am from kirkmichael in ayrshire
