Rich Hall on why he comes to Britain - from the DVD "Hell No I Ain't Happy" out 23 November 09

[thetemplar1]

Excellent! Love Rich Hall. Fantastic comedian. Thanks for the post

[animelove2021]

"I'm gonna write a letter" Reminded me of white chicks

[karezza6]

Rich Hall - ugly, inbred, dyed-haired, elderly, embittered creepy Yank.

[Ejay669]

@karezza6 karezza6 - boring, unintelligent, vile, racist scum. One difference between you and Rich Hall is that no one will ever give a shit about you while he's a genuinely funny entertainer.

[karezza6]

@Ejay669

He is the racist. He is the xenophobe. He is boring and vile.

[CornishRicky]

@karezza6

Uh huh. Love him! :)

[Torus202]

Growing up in the 1980's I was terrified of The British, thanks to Terry Gilliam films. I was young and naive. I used to believe that England was some Surreal "Monty Pythonesque" land where everyone was living in an acid trip. lol

That fear as a child has grown into an obsession with the British Culture. I've never been to The U.K. unfortunately, but would love it more then anything now.

[Dancingwithotters]

@Torus202

Haha, did you imagine Britain as the "Where's the Fish?" segment in "The Meaning of Life" or something?

[Torus202]

@Dancingwithotters lol, I used to think it was more like living in the Movie "Brazil". Cramped spaces and giant faces laughing at me. lol.

[woodpigeon66]

@Torus202 Bless you, you should come someday. I'm sure we'd be very happy to have you :)

[painxtreme]

@Torus202 Id give almost anything to live there now.

@seraphilm0

You'd be surprised at the poverty figures nowadays, so I'm going to conclude that actually isn't crazy talk.

As for the Native Americans, it's not a fear OF them it's a fear that they're trying to take their country back. And that mostly rests in some stereotype of them owning a shit ton of the casinos or something like that. It's still a trait Americans have, that's the point. Not a lot, but a decent portion.

It's a shame we didn't do like New Zealand and incorporate the natives.

[Wonocva15]

@njdevil281

I mean, sure, it'd be rare to find a person who had ALL of those traits for certain but he's pretty much right about us. Those traits can be found in decent-sized portions of Americans.

As for the weather, it's pretty damn bad. An entire state has constant earthquakes, we have "Tornado Season" and "Hurricane Season", a lot of states have/can have drought conditions, and our Blizzards can suck nuts since we don't have snow constantly like northern Russia or Canada.

[seraphilm0]

@Wonocva15 American food portions are ridiculous, plenty of us are overly patriotic and self-important and the weather is crazy, but the US is a huge country. As for most Americans living in poverty and fearing the Indians, that's just crazy talk. Honestly - Indians?

[karezza6]

I went to America once. Everyone is fat and eats gigantic portions of food. Everyone owns at gun and they shoot anything that moves. They wear clothes that don't fit and hate the Mexicans. They want to nuke everyone and think they are special. Most Americans live in poverty and have bad teeth. They get drunk easily and fear that the Native Americans are going to take their country back. They are plagued by tornadoes, hurricanes extreme weather.  I am never going back.

[IoEstasCedonta]

@karezza6 Я скачу по прерии на своем жеребце, мустанге таком-то, а моя любимая Мэри за тысячу миль отсюда вяжет для меня чулок...

[e7l13]

@karezza6 so did you have a nice time? xD

[njdevil281]

@karezza6 You have definitely never been to America you prick and avhalf.

[seraphilm0]

@karezza6 I'm American and love the insanity of this comment. Please tell us more.

[irkibby]

When I used to have a customer that shouted and was generally a complete bastard, I'd smile and say "Have A Nice Day" to them as they snap and finally storm off. It's beautiful.

[Hobnomb]

@irkibby xD That would be brilliant to see xD

[TheJimmax]

Londons nice to visit but living there is tough, thats what I found but I guess everyone is different and if thats what you want best wishes to you but remember the grass is always greener...

[MzaAndy]

damn this guys good!

[Nogli]

I saw this show live in Portsmouth, and got a lot of abuse from Otis! As Otis, he sings an improvised song about someone in the front row and their career. It was going to be me, but at the time I didn't have a job. I was just a music student. As it so happens, I had performed on that very stage a few days before. I mentioned that and got back a long angry tirade, which I can sum up with "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES ME FEEL?!". Great fun!

[HaniiPuppy]

after around 1.35ish, I suddenly had a thought: Oh my god, he's English.

[scavengedfantasyname]

It's so annoying to get asked how one is feeling. As if anyone would actually expect to get an honest answer, or as if one would actually like to tell it to everyone. But all one can do is look at each other and smile in mutual knowledge about the stupidity of the situation.

[TH3USUALSUSPECT]

@scavengedfantasyname

hahahah out of all the comments yours caught my eye immediately PREACH BROTHER PREACH!

[AbhiB]

LOL Write a letter

[angels77100]

I wonder if Barca can hold on to Messi for another 5 years.

[Quintopex]

I still wanna live in London for a while...even if I have to write letters. :)

[yuame]

@Quintopex Writing letters is a jolly fun.! ...innit.?

[Quintopex]

@yuame Jolly good fun! And I'd love to spend some time as a care-free chimney sweep. Chim chim cheree! What's a little scrotal cancer when you're bounding from roof top to roof top, singing and dancing? Yes, I really think England is the way it's shown in Disney movies from the sixties :)

[yuame]

@Quintopex Haha, quite right. But I think Londumb is a lot different to other cities in England as it is losing its value every day these days. ...Oops, did I say Londumb.?

[Quintopex]

@yuame

Really? But London has so much cool historical stuff: the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben, Hogwarts... Where else can I go to be so immersed in culture? By the way, is my ignorant mixing of fantasy with British culture amusing, annoying, or both? I'm actually trying to go for charming and funny.

[yuame]

@Quintopex Ach, forget about Big Ben and Westminster abbey. We had the most historical venues and they're being knocked down every year. Astoria had its great moments many times and it has been demolished because of that Crossrail shite which will not be completed until 2015 so we have to deal with that shitey+disgusting construction site blocking the main road in London. Only commoners suffer, not Royals+Riches. Typical.

[yuame]

@Quintopex How about Camden Town.? It's all gone now + The Stables Market has been transformed into a rather Gay place with huge hammering+bending blacksmith statues and hundreds of horses. Camden Lock market's gone to ashes by huge fire set by the market owner in 2008(saw it with ma own eyes). As he wanted to modernise it, the whole market has lost its character+customers as well. Soho.? Cleared out+gone. Portobello market.? Rather a fad.

[yuame]

@Quintopex You'll see a LOT of boring skyscrapers+glass buildings in the city, and a few historic places. They don't ever knock down St. Paul, Big Ben, Westminster abbey only because it brings money. If you really want to feel the history, go to Edinburgh which is MUCH better. Glasgow is a good place too. London.? Even Britons don't think it belongs to England. I bet next year's Olympics will bring a big chaos+reveal how fukkn poor the city is.

[yuame]

@Quintopex Lastly I would add that you're not ignorant. It's something people tend to forget that the money is not the answer. London might look charming + kool, however it's rotten inside and will fall apart very soon I am sure. As long as we have that Boris kunt, things will go only worse.

[andrewjw01]

Actually, I feel a letter coming on to youtube.

spam it up boys

spam.... it.... up

[watevausay99]

"I'm gonna write a letter" love it XD

[BobTheMunificent]

Blimey - the spammers are really hitting this vid - trying to get people to visit their virus ridden sites. Pity youtube doesn't give a sh*t.

[LordLolinghamThe3rd]

@BobTheMunificent You should be in uncle fucker's chuckle hutch.

[FlashHarry621]

@BobTheMunificent Trouble is, YouTube forget to mention they only put the LATEST comment on a piece in your inbox - it took me YEARS to discover this. Then I hadda spend a WEEKEND going through all the mail I'd MISSED. So maybe the uploader of this piece doesn't KNOW about the spam. SHIT, I've never SEEN so much!

By the way - check out MY site: nigerianprincehasmoneyforyou - it's a blast!

[heinz551]

@NewCorrieeps no problem lol ;)

[ridgetop74]

poor olde England .....and we are heading that way in a hurry ...over here ....

hey big football game ...this afternoon ...chicago bears v greenbay packers

don't care who wins ...just want a close game ......

[animaluver886]

I like my hoes mean and vicious, suck my dick till it shines like dishes.  -snoop doggy dog

[wigglywormhole]

I saw it too Tolstoy. He's brilliant. I've seen him on other shows, talk shows and stuff about the deep South (of America). He's always witty but often quiet. You know he's going to knock you flying, soon, but you're never quite ready for it! It's a fascinating comedy.

[tolstoythegreat]

I saw this whole thing last night, he's a fucking exceptional stand up

[Sarahk870]

@tolstoythegreat i saw that to lol he is awsome likes lol :D

[subra950]

The point he was making was that the people that really loved the movie loved it for the plot not the action. I really liked it. I saw it at kookíca.

[Drummerkins]

Thats why he does well over here lol.

[Nikolidas]

@666jimmysmusicgirl I'm Scottish just for the record - What RSVPBlogger was trying to say was that Scotland's towns and cities aren't as spread out as you might believe. It's not like there's dirt tracks leading from place to place. "Remote" would imply a sense of being cut off or far away and that simply isn't the case - if you couldn't see the border between Scotland and England you almost couldn't tell the difference.

[dennisrayso]

im gonna write a letter

[thehass01]

if every swear word he says was BEEPed would we understand his jokes?

[litatyas]

'its very remote' what does that even mean. Have you been to glasgow or edinburgh etc? its just like anywhere else and i was just stating a fact.. what you said sounded slightly racist, i wasnt moaning at you or having a go

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

London is alot different from Leeds my friend, Leeds might as well be Scotland compared to London!

[litatyas]

@666jimmysmusicgirl well that was slightly racist

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@litatyas how? i said they were different. not even in a bad way...

[litatyas]

@666jimmysmusicgirl "leads might aswell be scotland compared to london"

[litatyas]

@666jimmysmusicgirl your saying that like englands better than scotland

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@litatyas scotland is very remote and is mostly underpopulated, much like leeds, london however is completly different. it was a similie and wasn't ment to me taken litterally and i happen to like scotland better than england...

[RSVPBlogger]

@666jimmysmusicgirl - um, according to the UN World Report, Scotland has a population density of 170/sq mile (66/km2). That means it has more than double the population density of the United States, Mexico, or South Africa, and is more densely populated than China, Ireland, France, Denmark or Portugal. That's not exactly "remote" or underpopulated.

[RSVPBlogger]

@666jimmysmusicgirl - sorry, a correction, I misread the France figure - it shouldn't be in the list I gave earlier.

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@RSVPBlogger yh, i think you should go to scotland before you even put any statistics in your comment, you are probebly right about glasgow and edimburough but seriously... scotland might have a huge population but that doen't mean every sqare fucking mile is populated at all. Like in north Yorkshire there is miles and miles of land that is completly deserted. Hence all the ghost stories. Btw, a comment like that is a throw away joke and shouldn't be taken too literaly or youll look like a fool.

[RSVPBlogger]

@666jimmysmusicgirl - I've spent many months in Scotland, mostly in the west (Oban, Lochgilphead, Skye). Scotland is quite well-populated throughout - you can never go more than 20 miles before coming to another substantial settlement, and there is almost no wilderness - it's all grazing land or forest plantations. No it isn't as jam-packed as southern England, but it is far from "remote". Seriously - go to Canada or Australia to learn what 'remote' means.

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@RSVPBlogger JESUS H CHRIST! It was a fucking meaningless joke that you clearly took too far, i've been to the sahara god damn it!! I wish people on this website would stop judging people they don't know¬!

[jamboliboli]

@RSVPBlogger or even the moon.

[yuame]

@666jimmysmusicgirl Think you should've known better. That wasn't a joke for me either.

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@yuame I apologise, it was insensative and I don't know why I didn't admit it but I really didn't mean it badly. I hope you can forgive me :)

[yuame]

@666jimmysmusicgirl Apology accepted. I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone, but it was far from a joke that's for sure...!

[psychopathtoine]

what's with all the spam? :s 

[mbPhase23]

@makbd222 What movie?

[shakequothdovehouse]

HOLY SHIT. i am from rochester new york. this just made my life.

[empress59]

@Nivvorendinggeordie

RIP bill hicks

[swollower]

@empress59 Is he dead? when why and how? (I`m saving on the question marks.I`m collecting them for a real nasty letter!)

[swollower]

@empress59 Is he dead? when why and how? (I`m saving on the question marks.I`m collecting them for a real nasty letter!) And finally who is Bill Hicks?

[empress59]

@swollower bill hicks was a very funny comedian that died from cancer a long time ago.

[swollower]

@empress59 Sorry I didn`t know Thank you!. No disrespect intended! Can I see anything on youtube?

[swollower]

@empress59 I`ve just checked out Bill talking about smokers! Now I understand. Respect!

[thompson8305]

@Nivvorendinggeordie you forgot about george carlin and Mitch Hedberg

[chairmanofthebored1]

Ever since I first seen him on, it was either Carson, or Friday's, back in the late 70's, he has always been one of my favorite comedians.

[Sucrosefrei]

He swears way too much.

[marinos1977]

They need to make a Simpsons movie with real people just so he can play Moe

[JohnMstudios]

@marinos1977 moe was actually based on rich hall! :)

[robotracking]

" I am going to write a letter ", thats so true, lol.

[Spunkey1982]

In America you get shot in the head. In England we prefer to stab. Guns for show, knives for a pro.

[Gigglesfred]

@Spunkey1982

[mickykeyes]

@Spunkey1982

Soap said so himself lol

[docterlovejoy]

@Spunkey1982 knives are for fuckwits that can't fuckin fight

[inkypaws2]

Wow he swears a lot.

[oJUDAYALo]

HAHA!! best comedian!! :P

[avlisk]

The swearing adds zero, and I found it detracted from the comedy. Other than that, this guy is good.

[Raventoll]

He's American.  We use swearing instead of punctuation.

[gullivera]

@Raventoll We do that in Britain too.... Believe it or not.n ;-)

[Raventoll]

Sorry, I stayed in the south of London when I went. I guess I didn't go to the good part.

[gullivera]

@Raventoll Lol.... Oops! I hate to do this to you but I'm from South West London. To be fair though its nothing special. Where did you stay?

[Raventoll]

We were just south of the Thames for most of the trip (architectural visit). I heard if I went just a wee bit north into Hackney, I'd hear some colorful language if I managed to not get myself knifed on a side-street.

Good times...

[gullivera]

@Raventoll Yeah, that sounds about right lol.

[nexusparanoia]

@Raventoll This is very true fuck

[ShanksDChopper]

@Raventoll Is that an American thing? I been doing that since I was about 12.

[Raventoll]

@ShanksDChopper Depending on what part of England you're from, you might be more American than you think...

[Quanny7]

@avlisk what a terrible comment. how does it take away the comedy value?

[heinz551]

Brilliant!

Rich Hall is legend!
