Oops, I was actually talking about Nottingham in England! I just realised you meant Nottingham in Scotland. Yeah, I know you guys think we all sound the same lol easy mistake I guess. But its actually incorrect.

[arvydas0069]

I understand your point. It would be difficult to discern betwen a New York, Bostonian, Northern/Canadian, and the numerous Southern accents we have hear in America. I don't think you guys sound the same. We have a big Irish and Scots-Irish population in Cleveland and relatives come by from time to time from Europe and its eay to tell.

[godivaontherocks]

Yeah, sorry about that lol I can go proper overboard a lot. Yeah, that's true. There are so many different dialects that correspond with different regions. Sorry, I didn't mean to have a go at you...;)

[godivaontherocks]

Actually, that would still be an english accent. It might sound scottish to you (cause you're from the US). But that's probably cause they're from a part of england where the accents are different to london accents.

p.s. I'm not a dude lol

[famousfive30]

it should have a english accent NOT american,its stupid

[jorn89]

i so agree :D should have an English accent

Nah, they're both funny. This penguin thing is also funny. Farts can be funny. Ingrown toenails are funny, but also gross. I like British people.

[danc3hallkrashr]

[nelo01]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! holy shit!!! this is so simple but sooo funny!!! HAHAHAHA

[Ositz]

yes indeed! the penguin burped up a fish! LOL

[alElewis]

Im an Australian and can say from an outsiders point of view that it's the British accents and humor that makes creature comforts so comedically clever. By no means am I saying that American humour is inferior, as Madiman commented, each to their own; however, this one most definately should be left to the British to make it what it is - hilarious and so much fun to watch.

[arvydas0069]

I disagree. I'm in Amman, Jordan and we only get this show in American Version and its funnier to me than the Youtube clips which are all British. Its not really the accents so much, but the content is different and unless you are from Britain or South Africa or Australia, alot of the British version doesn't ring so funny mainly because if you don't speak the Queen's English or live in those areas, certain things do not resonate with the rest of the world culturally speaking.

[mercurydoomsday]

Im sorry but you cant exactly blame aardman for wanting to keep their home country happy. The company is English based so its fine if you want to watch there movies but i think you need to understand that if you want to watch a brittish film your going to have to listen and adpat to hearing , as you put it, the "queens english."

[arvydas0069]

you obviously didn't read me comment. I said nothing about the queens english. I find the subject matter less funny. I used to live in Queensland, Australia. My ears are fully adapted to decipher the British pronunciation or English.

[godivaontherocks]

arvydas0069, your comments don't really make much sense. I'm british, I've grown up in London. How can you define a 'british' accent? In case you're unaware, britain is made up of England, Scotland and Wales. A scottish person would have a different accent to someone from England or Wales... so there's really no such thing as a 'british' accent. If you lived in the bloody uk or had an ounce of common sense, you would know.

[arvydas0069]

I don't live in the UK...but I've been to London. My friend Ally is a showgirl who lives in Vegas and grew up in Nottingham and she claims she has a "british accent" alot of Americans can't tell the difference. Some English people I've met had some pretty heavy Scottish accents by the way. Its easyto generalize. Didn't mean to offend you dude

[godivaontherocks]

Oh! Don't worry, I wasn't exactly offended. I was a bit snappy last night lol Your friend probably refers to her accent as 'british' because she's now living in America where people are used to calling it a british accent. Trust me, our accents are nothing like scottish people. My tutor is scottish and I can barely understand her sometimes.

[MadOldPete]

@arvydas0069 No english people have scottish accents, unless they've lived in scotland.

[arvydas0069]

@MadOldPete I work for a British company and I've since traveled to many places in England and Scotland and I'll tell you what, I've heard quite a few Geordies and Mackems that have the same accent as some of the Jocks I know. They've never lived in Scotland. Geographically they are quite close.....Sunderland, Newcastle, Edinburgh....you'll have similar sounding accents in the Northern England/Southern Scotland regions.

[MadOldPete]

@arvydas0069 fair enough, they might sound like that to you, but they're not the same. they have northeast English accents, which only sound similar to Scottish accents.

[Invad3r]

I see what you're saying here and I agree, sometimes. In the British versions, it's the the accents are often what's funny about them. But the American interviewees have a lot more random and, well, "stupid American" moments, which make them a lot funnier to me.

[Caqui]

Heh! Wow, thanks for enlightening us, my British friends. I hadn't realized how shallow and humour-depleted I am, just because I happened to have been born in America! Thanks so much!

[Madiman]

lol. i understand what you mean, even though i'm british.

i also understand that british and american comedy differs, but thats no reason for the british to sneer and scorn at american comedy, and keep telling the americans that our comedy is superior.

each to their own.

[xxxxMetaknightxxxx]

meh its been americanize

hope America gets taken over or something

[andruandspanky]

wtf?

[aviuk]

KatyFiddler i totally agree with u..the americans have killed it.

[juliejuliex2]

shallow american humour?? as mentioned by the kathy fiddler.... get over yourself fiddler. humour is universal no matter where it comes from. you, kathy fiddler need to learn to play in the deep end and not be so shallow yourself!!

[duksgalore3]

Creature Comforts is one of the few shows not made or bought out by Cash-filled American Corporated Companies.

Yes, countries such as the U.S. DO have good humour and comedy, but the brillianc of THIS show is it's tothepoint Britishness.

Cup of tea? :D.

[Beffnay]

hear hear! earl grey m'dear please.:D

[llsvtay]

meh . . .

[KatyFiddler]

Please, let's not have the shallow American humour spoiling the great and traditionally British Creature Comforts. The accents and regional mannerisms are part of what makes it so funny.

[linksgirlfriend50]

"oo i ate so much my stomuch is like woo" hahaahahahohohohhehehe!

[brentheartsashlee]

wow its crazy how if you read all the comments on this video its like a debate about comedy...

its almost funnier than the actual video...

[lilgirlnamedash]

lol it was funny!! but wierd O.o

[hotelmanchuria]

The point is the American version features Deep South, Bostonian, African-American, Brooklynite, Valley Girl, etc styles of speech and mannerisms. For American audiences, these are interesting and amusing to see in the context of Creature Comforts. Some of the more subtle American speech variants might be lost on the British audience, the same way many Americans aren't familiar with the different variants in Britain (Geordie, Welsh, Midlands, Cockney, etc.)

[delfunkster]

Great Point!

[delfunkster]

I mean, 'American' (sorry for the spelling)

[delfunkster]

sorry, but i have to ask...why does english comedy or animation have to made AGAIN for the American market? Is it something about the english humour or accent because the quality just goes slightly downhill, eg; The Office and now this? Sorry if your Amrican reading this, but seriously...its annoying to see English stuff modified for the American audience, the comedy just isnt the same, instead of well written situation comedy with plot, it turns into stupid gags...come on Aardman!

[guitarmarama]

sorry but i have to disagree (i'm british by the way). surely the humour is in the principle; you record a person, you personify a character around their voice, which to me includes universal human characteristics (e.g. eyebrow raising, etc), give or take the occasional social ettiquete. I don't really see how this is a modification - I think you could have a Swahili creature comforts and if you knew the gist of what they were saying it would be equally as amusing, but that's just what I think!

[delfunkster]

I understand what you are saying, just these seem jilted in expression, whereas the UK versions flow, have more dialogue & even if they ARE scripted; they're more humourous, even if its just a general theme, its more interesting than the gag animations these comforts are. The animation (main character or background action)is more interesting. I agree with the universal thing, its just that I dont understand why there is a US version.

[jinxiejae]

blame the american production companies not the americans. its always the "heavy rollers" that makes these decisions not the average citizen. personaly i prefer the british version of coupling but thought the americanized one didn't capture the humor, and im from california state usa.

[major600]

I don't think it has as much to do with not understanding the dialects as HotelManchuria thinks. I'm sure Aardman made the decision mainly because the best art, both dramatic and comic, holds a mirror up to society: the voice of America for an American audience.

[toadlytadpole]

I thought the "rope" was just water.

[dietp123]

The rope is there because this is not the final cut, the rope will be edited out in post-preduction.

[maxx616]

the rope was there on purpose only because they wanted the fish to travell in the air so thaey could only hang the fish up on the line

[maxx616]

how can the fish be alive??

[michaluna]

was the rope here on purpose?

[FlyingWhales]

cute, the rope is a nice touch too.

[Shintaka9009]

The fish is alive? >.>

[Ositz]

must have been just eaten

[julyuki]

great... it cool and natural moves.

[OD533]

nice
