@gingerguy11 - get a life ginger guy, i think military accuracy was the last thing on their minds when they recoreded this sketch - people like you should not watch humour, just be an unwilling participant eh? Twatv that youb are.
@gingerguy11 staff sgt and an sgt/mjr are the same rank. an so what if he didnt call himself detail its a joke about how mad he is. on my atc sqdn we are all monty python fans and we do these kinda stunts all the time to keep it fun but still really strict we also know how to do the military fairy sketch. and i bet you're one of those cadets that thinks they know it all and everyone hates and bitches about you behide your back! e_e grow up cdt and don't insult good comedy when you see it!!
My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during 5.5 years by the German BND,the former GESTAPO. I recorded more than 100 videotapes which ended up in the legal system. My brother was tortured during 1.5 years despite several legal procedures pending. He was assassinated on July 11th 2009 because of our homepage, linked on my channel, and our book Der Totalitäre Staat. If my homepage disappears,the BND will have assassinated me as well
Thumbs up if you want the BND to stop torturing my parents
see if the british army always acted like this there would be no world war 1,2 cold war,american revolution,1916 easter rising,irish revolution,bloody sunday........ the list goes on and on
@MrRexel14 we didnt start the world wars and had no involvment in the cold war whatsoever american revolution well america used to be part to the empire so all you have are the irish incidents which admittedly was pretty bad
@akabrb aw but you see they interveined in those wars. they went to america and started charging taxes on them, if it wasn't for william america would be an english country altogether, yes it does look bad what they to ireland.specially when i am one >.< had they left hitler and the germans alone world war 1 and 2 never would have happened, australias orginal population wouldn't have been forced to move to the outback, canada would be its own country and not techncially english....
@MrRexel14 germany had taken over or made alliances with the whole of western europe, next in his sights was russia, if germany had taken over russia then it would be britain alone and we would have lost leading to all jews and black people and basically people hitler didnt like dead it would have been to late for america to intervine. ww1 started because austria-hungary and assassinated a serbian duke germany and france joined before england oh and btw no nazis in ww1 and...im part irish too.
The fact that the British armed forces inflicted Nazi Germany's first ever military defeat (the Battle of Britain) almost two years before the United States began even considering entering into World War II makes me immensely proud to be British.
@mafay1520 Twice,? By the second time I suppose you mean the War of 1812, where the USA tried to invade Canada multiple times and failed and then your capital city was burned to the ground by the British, the same war where the USA made no gains whatsoever and ended the war heavily in debt and without a capital , while the British on the other hand was unscratched? And in the war of independence we won the majority of the battles by far, you only won because of France, Spain and the Dutch
@1990Englishgal makes me proud to know that 1939 The UK wasn't the only one that did there part in the war and the Spitfires hurries and lancaster bombers were shipped in from other counties to fight in the BOB considering Germany never laid foot in Canada or the USA Or other commonweath counties ..a fact often overlooked
Can people stop arguing about history on a youtube video please. I'm sorry for my one comment, though it is rather innocuous compared to others. But please I doubt any of you have all the facts or have thoroughly researched sources to have a good idea of the complexities of WW2, anyways, please just shut up and enjoy a hilarious comedy sketch.
Given the nationalistic vitriol over this video, perhaps we could risk some analysis of the comedy here, recognizing the analyzing comedy can only lead to tragedy.
The comedy here is the contrast between the stereotyped British drill sergeant, with all his yelling, screaming and sarcasm, and the actual content of what he's saying. There's nothing national about it. It was originally a British program for British audiences, so you play with their stereotypes. It's a aiming for a laugh!
@ ajrk95 it's easy to regurgitate stuff about the French - you forget that they saved historic buildings and infrastructure by surrendering. French Resistance were brave people extremely effective in relaying German movements/vital information to the Allies. Americans only joined in when Japanese bombed the shit out of you at Pearl Harbour. THe other allies had been fighting for YEARS before you finally decided to join in. And don't use the word "hate" dear...it's so vulgar.
@NaughtyLittleMs Oh thats nice while most other countries where fighting Germany tooth-and-nail the French get to sit there fund the Germans war effort and say "oh hey their doing this and that" thats retarded. Also though the us decided not to involve ourselves due to the distance between us and Europe and the cost of having to ship solders and equipment across the ocean. Once the Japanese did attack us we where able to send enough troops over both the atlantic and pacific oceans to turn the-
@NaughtyLittleMs -in favor of the allies (because you would not have won at all had it not been for us), and force the Japanese back from their failed attack on Pearl Harbor.
PS. In case you where wondering it was the Austrian Albert Einstein who gave us the plans for the first atomic bomb not the French.
PPS. also you are an ass I meant my original comment as a sort of joke with a peace of truth but you the little prick that you are, had to pick at it. truly ajrk95

Before the Iraq war the CIA under George Tenet, insisted in his meetings with Bush that there was no connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq, Vice-President Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld initiated a secret program to reexamine the evidence. A Pentagon unit known as the Office of Special Plans (OSP), created to supply senior Bush administration officials with raw intelligence pertaining to Iraq, The questionable intelligence acquired by the OSP was stovepiped to Cheney and presented to the public.

@BOT101st History books convey the officially documented and agreed upon truths, not the silent ones... WW2 wasn't a war upon Nazism, it was a war upon Hitler, and he lost. That is the truth you can read about in history books. Xenophobic right wing extremists are rapidly gaining popularity throughout the world. Though they don't (commonly) refer to themselves as Nazis these days, they are Nazis by any other name... The Nazis won WW2. That is the truth you can't read about in any history book.
listen, cock munch, do I give a shit?? No, so firstly please, go fuck off.
Secondly, if the nazis had won the second world war, then oh, we would have been speaking german and been under nazi rule by now!! The war was on hitler and his nazi regime and to bring it down. Yes there still are neo fucknuts around but still are they in power? No they're a minority and have no power what so ever, so please, keep up with the bullshit and fuck off. Ok? Cool.
Now it's time for me to rant. Nazism isn't a country. Nazism doesn't have a language. Nazism is a thought, an ideal. An ideal that, tragically enough, is gaining popularity these days... "War on Hitler and his nazi regime"? If that was true then Nazism would've been killed off with Hitler. We would've made sure it was. Was it? No, people in general are even getting more and more acceptant of it... That war was on Hitler and his mad schemes of conquest.
Look, if you don't care then why comment back? Herp Derp.
And the war was on hitler and the nazi regime, and why? Because both were one, you can't go fighting hitler without fighting nazism. Yes there is still nazism around today, but as there is communism and other right wing and left wing political ideologies, the world is so much in depth in politics now you can't get rid of it as quick as people hope & who cares, the allies won the war, hitlers dead with the true nazi party.
@BOT101st Because the thing I don't care about is you not giving a shit, Humpty Dumpty.
True, Hitler and nazism were one and the same, so naturally one couldn't fight Hitler without counter working nazism at the same time, but of course you realize that it wasn't Hitler's nazistic ideals that the war had been declared upon, but him attacking and attempting to subjugate his neighbours... "True nazi party"? Do pardon me, but are you implying modern nazis are somehow "false" or "fakes"?
Hehe, I want his pace stick, got his rank (SSGT) can steal a hat, got the lightweights.... just that pace stick. (Sgt major is just a single large crown crown and 3 strips is Staff):P
@LynnieG85 your right I'm American and even I know that the French won the war by surrendering giving the Germans whatever they wanted and being total fagots to boot we should all be thankful. I hate the French
@ajrk95 Technically speaking, the French didn't completely surrender. Vive la Resistance!
Also, they fought smarter than the British and longer and harder than the Americans in the Great War. Furthermore, Napoleon was French, and if you don't remember, he managed to take over most of Europe before Britain, Russian, Prussia, and Austria ganged up to stop him.
@vaxiawval I apologize for the mistake, I simply meant that he was from a part of the Italian Peninsula (which it was called back then). However, his family was from Liguria and were minor nobles there. His father was Carlo Bonaparte. And it is Genoa not Genova.

@vaxiawval I said Genoa because you said Genova,a nd I imagined that you meant Genoa, which is a city. The Genoa comment was separate from my Liguria comment. The city is called Genova you just made a typo I imagine.
lol stereotypes are great, must feel nice to type while at the same time sipping your tea writing the response and chipping your big teeth on the cup.
It would be nice if you could actually spell, too.
Preying? Preying on something is what a cat does to a mouse.
You probably mean "PRAYING" to God. Perhaps you and the others around the world should try it. I'm quite sure that being upset about an uncalled for attack on your country might cause a bit of angst as well.
Pardon us for being angry about it.
By the way, get bent. None of you idiots in other countries would even be here if it wasn't for us. You'd be German or Japanese.
your an idiot, the usa joined ww2 in 43' it was fucking over in 45' you helped the cause, you didnt save us.. al tell you what you did do, bomb and kill innocent women & children hope your proud
@archona4 I've quite a few American relative's and thankfully none of them are as ignorant of history as you.In fact I've had quite the reverse from them and have had comments such as 'don't worry, we're not all like that'.
lazy british? britain is the country which makes itself a a hugely know country all around the world despite is tiny size. and has the greatest military forces in the world who have soldiers who are serving their country to fix these fucked up countrys. they willing to die for britain. and yet you call them lazy? FUCKING CUNT
Imperialism is great in military and business ways. Since the UK and Spain sorta wrote the book on that with foot notes by France, Netherlands, Portugal, ect, with a update by newer countries as the United States, China ect.
are you fucking kidding me? again another fucking american saying "oh WE won WWII obviously even though we joined in '43. fucking hell. did you know your pilots take speed the drug before flying? they destroyed 3 BRITISH challenger II tanks and killed british soldiers. because of the drug speed the pilots have faster reactions and are guilty of carrying out 80% of team damage to allies.
the sovietunion was attackedbygermany even though a truce was signed between them. hitler thought it would be easy because of russias lack of resources, but russia fourt extremely hard and fourt off hitler's army. MEANWHILE. the RAFproved that stratigic and brains wins over money&number bydefeating them at the battle of britain,we declared war against germany,germanydeclared war against russia. if it wasnt for us germany would of been just as strong and losing against russia wouldnt of mattered.
stalin was planing to invade germany, that's why the invasion for the germans went so well at the beginning, they had removed their equiptment for a full out attack.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lol no. They didnt have any equipment to remove in the first place, and Stalin's military was still paralyzed from his purges. The Soviets were simply trying to buy as much time as possible before the coming storm.
and if russia hadnt of fourt germany off their country the same thing would happen. so even though russia and britain wern't allies it was a logical team effort.
Well the newly massive American military may or may not have played a decisive role. Perhaps you would have won anyway. At the least, the American contribution hastened the end of the war and was so much overkill on the allied side.
No, they are what made Saturday night live what they are. They are the masters and fathers of Sketch TV, with shows like the frost report and the 1948 show (both british) being the grandfathers or godfather of sketch tv

And the war was on hitler and the nazi regime, and why? Because both were one, you can't go fighting hitler without fighting nazism. Yes there is still nazism around today, but as there is communism and other right wing and left wing political ideologies, the world is so much in depth in politics now you can't get rid of it as quick as people hope & who cares, the allies won the war, hitlers dead with the true nazi party.

@BOT101st Because the thing I don't care about is you not giving a shit, Humpty Dumpty.
True, Hitler and nazism were one and the same, so naturally one couldn't fight Hitler without counter working nazism at the same time, but of course you realize that it wasn't Hitler's nazistic ideals that the war had been declared upon, but him attacking and attempting to subjugate his neighbours... "True nazi party"? Do pardon me, but are you implying modern nazis are somehow "false" or "fakes"?

@ajrk95 Technically speaking, the French didn't completely surrender. Vive la Resistance!
Also, they fought smarter than the British and longer and harder than the Americans in the Great War. Furthermore, Napoleon was French, and if you don't remember, he managed to take over most of Europe before Britain, Russian, Prussia, and Austria ganged up to stop him.

@xpo50 Napoleon was born in Corsica, then as now part of France. Read a map.

@Sylderon Corsica was only handed over to the French a year before Napoleon was born and his parents were Italian nobles. Therefore he is Italian.

vaxiawval 11 months ago
@vaxiawval I apologize for the mistake, I simply meant that he was from a part of the Italian Peninsula (which it was called back then). However, his family was from Liguria and were minor nobles there. His father was Carlo Bonaparte. And it is Genoa not Genova.

Ok, I didn't know the family was from Liguria! so short he was, I guessed him Corse.
Are you saying Genoa because it was the name of the city at the time? now Italianized Genova?
I'm I not wrong the inhabitants call it Genoa still now!
vaxiawval 11 months ago
@vaxiawval I said Genoa because you said Genova,a nd I imagined that you meant Genoa, which is a city. The Genoa comment was separate from my Liguria comment. The city is called Genova you just made a typo I imagine.

Preying? Preying on something is what a cat does to a mouse.
You probably mean "PRAYING" to God. Perhaps you and the others around the world should try it. I'm quite sure that being upset about an uncalled for attack on your country might cause a bit of angst as well.
Pardon us for being angry about it.
By the way, get bent. None of you idiots in other countries would even be here if it wasn't for us. You'd be German or Japanese.

acdc51502112 2 years ago
the sovietunion was attackedbygermany even though a truce was signed between them. hitler thought it would be easy because of russias lack of resources, but russia fourt extremely hard and fourt off hitler's army. MEANWHILE. the RAFproved that stratigic and brains wins over money&number bydefeating them at the battle of britain,we declared war against germany,germanydeclared war against russia. if it wasnt for us germany would of been just as strong and losing against russia wouldnt of mattered.
MadJack122 2 years ago
stalin was planing to invade germany, that's why the invasion for the germans went so well at the beginning, they had removed their equiptment for a full out attack.
acdc51502112 2 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Lol no. They didnt have any equipment to remove in the first place, and Stalin's military was still paralyzed from his purges. The Soviets were simply trying to buy as much time as possible before the coming storm.

Well the newly massive American military may or may not have played a decisive role. Perhaps you would have won anyway. At the least, the American contribution hastened the end of the war and was so much overkill on the allied side.
