[kenny9525]

[pomjase27]

a dog is better than an american

[lanceawatt]

@pomjase27 come off it Amadinijad lol know its you ;)

[RoryEastwayMMA]

am i weird for not liking comedians when they take the piss outta the crowd? when he called that fireman fat, i was thinking "well he just paid over 50 quid to watch you and now hes gonna be pissed off all night"

[robsargent4]

@RoryEastwayMMA I know what you mean, but generally they don't really mean it, so if it ever happens to me I'd like to think I'd just be able to shrug it off & enjoy myself the rest of the time.

[tommat00]

@RoryEastwayMMA People buy front row seats in the hope that he picks on them, its a badge of honour. And notice that Al isn't the thinnest person around :)



[LupineSpacePirate]

@RoryEastwayMMA He's British, he can laugh at himself

[stratocaster1986able]

Fuck off with the arguments about whose country is best. What are you, nine year olds? None of you have made any contribution to your country's history, none of you can say you have affected 'how good' your country is.

[ManInBlack1612]

Can't we just share a drink, US and UK?

[iMoD190]

@ManInBlack1612 only if the US pays for them.

[ManInBlack1612]

@iMoD190 Only if you buy the next round

[DanCatano]

i love how everyone saying how much better their country is than America but Americans see no competition so they don't a fuck. so a message to all u brits (no offense intended) but you guys just keep drinking your tea and eating your crumpets and we'll stay here with our guns and cheeseburgers and nuke your asses if you say something about ;) jk ,Al's a genius

[martinis9678]

@PokerPlum wait .. wait ... wait.... YOU invented America??? as far as I remember America was created when a bunch of people kicked you're sorry asses and kicked you the fuck out!

[MrRafe85]

@martinis9678 you need a history lesson son. lol Wasnt as black and white as "kicking their asses." But they won't teach you that in high school cos the truth is less patriotic im afraid :P

[martinis9678]

@MrRafe85 haha 1st of all im not american, I live in britain,and even though im not sure about the specifics (i don't know what got into me on my last comment) I do happen to know that Paul Revere was not a hero at all, he didn't ride his horse shouting ''the british are coming'' it was more of a walking round town spreading it by whispers, and little is it known that Paul Revere was the only one to actually GIVE UP when the british raided the pub he and some other people were in.

[blobby1972]

@martinis9678 yes the french

[mircs1979]

not laughing at red bull racing now

[ShadowStar136]

[FletchRDG]

[dylandior123]

Arggh! Why are there adverts before videos?!!!!!!!

[dylandior123]

Oh F**K!

Oh well. I won't buy any of that stuff they're advertising...unless I get a free mars bar! LOL :-p

I'm easily pleased lol

[KJS72]

Deep fried mars bar?

[dylandior123]

Oh god no!

Regular one please :) LOL

[KJS72]

Your missing out on the best of Scottish cuisine.

[dylandior123]

Oh OK. I'll try anything once. Just once mind! LOL :-p

[BritRockChick]

AM 4 Life

[TheScottishLoon]

Just ordered my tickets to see him in Edinburgh :D

[XxBugzX]

JUST SEEN HIM LIVEEE <3 HAHAHAHAH was sooo funny

[Auesis]

Holy shit.

Almost all of these comments are pointless, stupid arguments about gibberish not related to the video.

This is YOUTUBE COMMENTS, NOT A FORUM!

[ModdeyDo]

And I suppose the fact that your a brit makes you what different, better than the rest ?

[myg0tpurepunk]

no it makes most of us better than americans

[ventrilloquismrules]

lol

[sc4rzpur3]

he has degrees in history which means he knows what his chatin about u prick

[m049980]

no it makes us Great. (remember, it's in the name. Great Britain) If the US was called Great America then you would be great too.

[zzebowa]

@m049980 DOnt be daft, its called great britain because its the larger homeland of the british, the other being britany.

[333SoOfTheBeast333]

@zzebowa britanny is in france, not britain

if you want to use that form of argument, youre going to have to refer to the republic of ireland as smaller/lesser britain

[geigoir]

@m049980 lol the germans and french gave us that name that how Great we our, our own enemys thought us Great. lol if someone say to me "British" i also add Great in lol

[mazyp2002]

@m049980 fuck off you tart



[kenny9525]

@m049980 that is one of the best answers ever

[m049980]

@ModdeyDo

Oh, and do learn the difference between "you're" and "your". As much as your language is bastardised (not bastardized), I'm sure they teach you some form of grammar in your so-called education, disregarding the other "facts" that your friend above have mentioned. The American government was formed by a war that the British didn't want to fight and therefore left to leave the continent to rot, and rot it indeed has.

[kenny9525]

@m049980 grammer is nothing to do with the writen word. its snobery

[lovewolves123]

@m049980 are you talking about america or Britain? x

[itsmecarmen]

@lovewolves123 They're talking about Britain obviously...

[lovewolves123]

@itsmecarmen i dont think so ..

[itsmecarmen]

@lovewolves123 Oh my bad, I was looking at the person's other comment.

[lovewolves123]

@itsmecarmen ah okay

[gellis2007]

Nah i would rather seem him as a dodgy bastard coz thats why he is funny

[djgevans1]

al murray is the comedian, the pub landlord is the character...its like sacha baron cohen and ali g or borat...

al murrays real accent is RP and hes an oxford history graduate...just...one huge point to the pub landlord character is that hes a bit of a parody.

[gellis2007]

Really? He fucking fooled me. He seems to fit the Cockney, down the pub type so well!! Fucking, he does it better then me and i practically live in london!!

[zBloodD3monz]

Watch this:

watch?v=0zVe4cAd5aQ&

You can see what he's like when he's not the Pub Landlord. I reccomend everyone should watch it because he talks about who and what the Pub Landlord is.

[myg0tpurepunk]

wats rp

[acbdeiolmkjihgfty]

lol

[prpldv]

Everyone's a little bit racist. Look up Avenue Q. Let's get back to how funny Al is and ignore history lessons and puerile name-calling.

[ModdeyDo]

That (lets call it a statement for the sake of argument) makes no sense at all. smf

[LordReserei]

why in god's name is everyone arguing about the origin and foundation of America, Australia and crap?...it's supposed to be about this vid and Al Murray, how awesome a comedian he is and even though he may take the piss out of the states and Aussies...he's actually taking the piss out of us Brits as well...you've just gotta look outside of the box and realise, and actually spend some time with some one from the US, talk and get past all of this 18th, 19th century bs, get out of the past

[IommiSabbath1]

What is your point asshole? I am a British national w/ a British passport - not like that matters at all. When you grow up I suggest you get a passport and see the world beyond the 4 walls of your council scheme hovel. Cheerio chav!

[H1TM4NB00THY]

tbh i wudnt want the credit for creating america, the fact of the matter is, whoever discovered it or w/e, its spawned a nation of complete wankers.

[IommiSabbath1]

lol - don't so dumb...what are you - a redneck from the West Midlands? Waddle along you fat xenophobic wank stain.

[H1TM4NB00THY]

kill yourself you fucking cunt, do i look like a fucking yank?..no...i bet your from liverpool you ignorant cunt.

[faithinlife]

if u fink e's shit y did u watch da clip?

[cibalia2006]

Let me guess, you're American?

[kslatt11491]

I'm American and I like it and I get it and I don't appreciate the assumption that we've got no sense of humor.

[liamgardinerrs]

american...

[kslatt11491]

Everything. Tell me what was funny about that comment?

[speccwolf]

Australia, created by Englands worst, only to find out Australians are Englands best. Tragic mistake, rainy skies versus large vast land little population blue skys, and the greatest oceans and reefs on Earth. So enjoy mate, have fun with your landfill nation. Im being a smart arse, love england actually, Manchester, hrm different story, but the people there are great, you guys just got away with stealing, we didnt. Maybe we didnt want to get away with it.

[movemybody]

Loads of deadly animals that can kill you in an hour lol.

[misy49]

yeah, but we can kill them back. Your atmosphere, however...

[Thoufel]

but you also have the most irritating accents like a young boy with his nuts caught in a vice and choking on his own dispare.

and british weather gives us something to fucking complain about when we are not at the bus stop, and its a great conversation starter.

actually i think Al actually did a joke about that, anyone know the link???

i love you ozzys....dont tell the kiwi's!! :P

[misy49]

I luve ya poms too, aih!

I hope my accent wasn't too grating for you

[monkeydippedincheese]

btw i was talking to irongalx

[hunkyfunkyjunky]

god is irish

[irongalx]

You're absolutely deluded

First of all, Britain did not invent 'America'. While your ancestors were backward hunter-gatherers, foraging for nuts and berries and living in caves, South americans were building great civilisations.

Secondly, USA itself was initially founded on bloodshed. But they came to their senses. Partly inspired by French enlightenment, George Washington and his revolutionaries formed the greatest democracy on the planet, the USA- it was hardly a British idea.

[monkeydippedincheese]

oi, dickwad. he's a comedian. stop taking this so fucking personal, the only thing they do is take the piss out of people! and in case you didn't know, george washington was a brit himself you fucktard. SUCK ON THAT COCKFAG!!!

[irongalx]

You need to relax man, lol!

But anyways, for your information, George Washington was born on american soil, i.e. he was american. Washington and co revolted against british rule and ultimately the american colonials defeated the british army and formed the united states. Much of this was inspired by french enlightenment and notions of human liberty, rights etc. So there's a history lesson for you, for free!

[zBloodD3monz]

It was the 13 BRITISH colonies that revolted against British rule. The American war of independence can be described as a civil war on foreign land. The 13 BRITISH colonies won the war over the British army and then the 13 BRITISH colonies created the United States.

In honour of the 13 BRITISH colonies who fought for independence they put 13 stripes on their flag. After the United States was formed they called themselves Americans.

THERES A HISTORY LESSON FOR YOU, FOR FREE!

[zBloodD3monz]

Heres a bit more history...

George Washington's religion was Christianity - the Church of England denomination. He then changed to the Episcopal Church denomination. And have seen the coat of arms for the Episcopal Church? It has the St George and St Andrews cross.

George Washinton's great-grandfather (John Washington) was from Essex, England. At the age of 25 he moved to the Colony of Virginia.

George Washington's family can be traced back to England.

[zBloodD3monz]

Yes, George Washington born on American soil, but in a British colony. Parts of the American soil was owned by the British.

[velapulsar]

"Much of this was inspired by french enlightenment and notions of human liberty, rights etc."

Of course none of it had anything to do with the Magna Carta, the works of John Locke, or Thomas Paine.

Or the supremacy of Parliament as opposed to a kings divine right to rule. The English gained supremacy of Parliament in 1644. After the battle of Marston Moor, the absolute power of the monarchy was destroyed.

[ludachris475]

Yes, yes,

God Shave the Queen.

May her armpits never diminish.

[bigkid101]

haha oh shit did sumone get battered by an english man...i've noticed ur copying and pasting the same shit all over...

muggy cunt lol

[speccwolf]

Americans cant criticise themselves mate, so just ignore them.

[horsefaceman0]

i personally dont like english, but now ive changed my mind i hat americans now. idiots who shout U-S-A at the ryder cup. what handicaps!

[TomMowle]

england invented america, and only lost the war because we heard you yanks would cry if we beat you

end of it, move on

[kslatt11491]

England lost because at the time England was stuck in the past, evidently YOU still are.

BTW the Italians discovered America, and no one other possibly god MADE it. Dumbass

[BrazKnuckles69]

You are a fucking dumbass as well - No one technically discovered America - The minor flaw in your arguement is that the Vikings discovered it first, the major flaw in your arguement is that no-one exactly discovered it.

The natives where already living there.

Grow a pair.

[Fangot247]

fuck off u rasict little dumbass

who has bloody goerge bush as president

he's a wanker like you

[kslatt11491]

Rasict? Where was the racism in my remark? You sound stupid for accusing me of something that had nothing to do with what was said. I'd also like to inform you that while I myself was not old enough to vote my family voted democrat in both elections. I don't like George Bush and if you looked up the approval rate right now you'd see basically no one in America does. He won on a technicality both times not on popular vote so screw you and have a nice day :)

[Fangot247]

you dont have to be talking about colour to be rasict

you are offending all english so go and have a hamburger

[kslatt11491]

I wrote that one person was still talking about the revolution so they were stuck in the past how does that offend you? in reply to someone who offend all American so read the whole conversation then get back to me but fuck it I'll go eat my burger and enjoy it! I obviously dont have a problem with the English at large or I wouldnt be watching AL Murray who is pretty much as English as you get. I thought his comment was funny. My pride just couldnt let that dude call all Americans crybabies

[IommiSabbath1]

lol - Nope...the Vikings were the first Europeans to land on North American shores dumbass. Duh!

[kslatt11491]

Thats not a fact never has been.

[IommiSabbath1]

It is a verified fact and is taught is colleges and universities. There are tapestries and engravings in Iceland documenting the voyages. Cheerio!

[kslatt11491]

The short answer is that we do not know which Europeans or Africans first sailed to America. The Vikings are candidates, as is St. Brendan -and it was technically possible for seagoing merchant ships from the Mediterranean(about the same size as Columbus's caravel to have made the crossing. However there is no unambiguous evidence, and none of these people can be showed to have traveled so far. Certainly they left no permanent settlements.

They are the most likely candidate but its not a fact.

[IommiSabbath1]

"Sigh"...Again....In 1960, UNDENIABLE proof of Vikings in North America came to light at LAnse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada. It is a verified fact. Don't get too upset at being proven wrong...at least be an adult and learn the truth instead of backtracking on your ignorance.

[kslatt11491]

I need to grow up, your how old continuing an argument from two weeks ago. I don't think I'm wrong I know about the vikings, However what I was taught and what I found when you said that to me says no it is not a fact its a possibility. So you can carry on all you want with this but I know with all my ignorance nothing stays fact for ever and everything is debatable. Get over yourself and stop acting like you know everything, anyone can Google something and get info that supports their argument.

[IommiSabbath1]

Is the world flat and the center of the universe for you still?

[IommiSabbath1]

n 1960, undeniable proof of Vikings in North America came to light at LAnse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada. Several Norse Viking pieces and clear Icelandic- style house foundations gave proof positive that Vikings had indeed landed, and briefly settled, in North America 500 years before Columbus.

More recent archaeological work has revealed over 300 years of sporadic contact between the Greenlandic Norse and various Indian, Inuit, and other Native American peoples.

[dwissba]

I only thought Americans talked stupid...should listen to yourself limey...

[irongalx]

absolute crap

[TheElfWhoShotJFK]

America not one of our best inventions

[freddage91]

It was a good idea that got out of hand.

[VigisKane]

funny man

[mackleydu]

Makes you damn proud to be British doesnt it? ( if you are British that is :) )

[Xbulelo]

Shut up you thick prick. It isn't at all.

[mackleydu]

Depends who you speak to. And you are a bad typer, if you want to get a point across say it in a understandable language.

[zBloodD3monz]

wtf. how can u say an enlishman who lives in england cant speak english. dats the dumbest thing i av ever heard.

[freddage91]

That's a bit rich coming from your spelling.

[markmufc2008]

Al murray is fuckin classic, i love being British and im sure thats one reason he is so sucessfull. Al quality my son.

[terrychristmas]

He's nothing like his mum.

[redbull2501]

Al Murray, the best UK comedian right now, love it!

[Huttah123]

I'm the first to comment on this video! YAY!

Hmm I feel I have wasted the opportunity...
