Rowan Atkinson - Conservative Conference

[GenericPurpleTurtle]

Where and when is this from?

[LearnedEnglishDog]

@GenericPurpleTurtle This, I believe, is from the late seventies, roundabout when that horrible tyrant got into power, but I don't know, 'cause I wasn't alive in that time, so I can't give a definitive comment.

[lv4ev5]

Bring back this show the nation needs it the Tory bastards are back in power and are nastier then ever just ask many disabled and sick and poor kids.

[bobodd5]

fake and gay

[JonnyBefull]

@bobodd5 well done! your retarded

[bobodd5]

@JonnyBefull FU@

[ega95jch]

@bobodd5 What? Are you, ahem, a little 'intellectually challenged'?

[bobodd5]

@ega95UGOFUKYOURSELF

[1292liam]

THE FIRST 13 SECONDS ARE THE FUNNIEST !!

[THX11003]

I fucking love this man! He is soooooo funny!

I used to watch him ALL the time!!

[planejunky]

It's such a shame that many only remember Rowan as "Mr Bean". =( This man was a comedy legend way before that. His stand up comedy sketches (such as the Indian waiter, hell, and dating), Not The Nine O'clock News (seen here), and Blackadder were much funnier!

[spr66]

Brilliant.

[cannockwolf1992]

@surells I think you'll find that's Rowan Atkinson. Mr. Bean was just another one of his chracters (Years after this sketch, I imagine)

[Surells]

Mr Bean, the worlds greatest physical comedian. And a master of delivery of course... Bob.

[nonohino]

No matter how you feel about capital punishment; some timber and a length of rope is way cheaper than those luxury apartments (prison) with the 24 hour security guards...

[Surells]

@nonohino Actually in America The sentencing, storing, appeals and execution of criminals costs more than life sentencing. Look it up. Its commonly available information.

[nonohino]

@Surells I'm in Britain, where this sketch is based

[geoffwoade]

@nonohino ignorance is a virtue for some

[CullTheLivingFlower]

@nonohino And of course there is nothing immoral about executing people to save a buck or two.

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@nonohino

Those "luxury apartments" have a value too, You see, most criminals have to serve short terms in prison. With the prospect of reintegration into society in mind, which one do you think is better: the luxury apartment, or the ninth circle of hell?

[nonohino]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 I do think that prison is the correct tactic for the short termers. But I am talking about the life sentences who just sit there year after year. In Britain there is no way to 'remove' them, but i think the harshness of the 1970's prisons should be reinstated, it may encourage the lesser criminals not to reoffend.

[dalektaliban]

zazu and mr bean just said nigger, this made my day

[26juanvicente]

I cannot stand conservative values. Conservative ideas on crime and immigration are bad imho. I prefer rehabilitation for crime and i think we should have much more immigration into the western countries. without immigration the western countries would collapse. the western countries was never rich or prosperous before immigration imho. also, this conservative idea that you should not increase the burden of national debt is wrong. greece will be better economic position than UK soon.

[Pianoguy32]

@26juanvicente come on this is comedy not politics.

[Scwizmar1]

Mr Bean saying Nigger = My Christmas forever.

[listerone]

1) I wonder how many "foreigners" live within 50 miles of Captain Blackadder.2) I wonder what he's doing to remedy that particular injustice.My guess is 1) not many....2) not much.

[ImMichaelTaylor]

@listerone 1) By definition; none. If they live in britain they're not foreigners. Supposing you meant immigrants, what difference does that make? His proximity to minority populations indicates nothing more than how expensive his house is. (I suppose if you were rich you'd move to the ghetto?)

2) Constantly satirizing ignorance and prejudice wherever he finds it? Marrying an Indian woman (Sunetra) ? Leading calls for a review of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill ? Take your pick.

[ImMichaelTaylor]

@listerone (P.S. , you know that's one of Atkinson's comic characters, and not a documentary about him as a real person, don't you? )

[deloford]

@listerone ever been to Northampton? anyway what are YOU doing about this 'injustice'? actually what injustice.. its a skit on how extreme tory views were in the 80s.. congratulations for one of the stupidest comments I can remember on yt. that really takes some doing. thanks for wasting some of my life

[bazatc01]

Blackadder is sooo much funnier than anything Rowan has done before or after it!

Mr Bean and Johnny English is poor compered to Edmond..

[SuperIlluminaughty]

Atkinson votes conservative, yet feels dirty about it. Yet has money to spend at the community unlike the socies who have no money to spend on the lower classes.

[TaimaDjinn]

Somehow, he's still better than all of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates.

[smiffy1071]

It never ceases to amaze me, that this was over 30 years ago, but it could just as easily have been recorded last week. Just more proof that tories never change!

[Mr4o5a]

OMG,he dosent look like Mr Bean or Johny englishLOl

[s9747324b]

U mad? Shut up with blasphemy.

[ulived1969]

I AM JESUS, I AM THE 666 IN REVELATION...

[adaya77]

@ulived1969 Oops..you read that upside down. It actually says, NOITALEVER NI 999 EHT MA I, SUSEJ MA I. Translated that means: Grow Up! (*.*)

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

@epirus500 There IS a British equivalent for the Tea Party: the BNP, which, if I'm not mistaken, was BEFORE the Tea Party.

Liberal=Democrat

Tory=Republican

BNP=Tea Party

[UnOxonien]

@rabidrabbitshuggers That's a bit silly. We're not the same country, we don't have the same political systems or landscapes of opinion... you wouldn't say we had equivalents in Japan or France so don't let our common language deceive you. The BNP is not the Tea Party's equivalent.

[CapitalBhoy78]

Mr Bean saying bastard = My christmas 2011 is complete.

[sussexpenguin]

I always thought he was a twat, just an opinion though

[sionnyn]

Thgis could have come straight from this years's TOry Conference!

[Carson624]

hahahahahaha it is bad to be black hahahahaha

[michaelukable]

New World Order

[nanaforiod]

@michaelukable no...

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Oh thanks for explaining that I thought it was a talking hand dryer from Taiwan.

And is that not David Cameron then?

Please help I only have an IQ of 50.

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish Honestly, I posted that to lure trolls but it seems like I have got a real case on my hands. Let me explain to you how to reply to comments on YouTube in -three- easy steps.

1. Hover over comment

2. Click reply

3. Type query/troll

4. Click post

Even you of IQ 50 can handle that I hope.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

Er, yeah ... course you did.

Here is a tip for you:

1) Do not switch your computer on.

2) Go to bed.

3) Stay there.

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish I had hoped you would catch on but apparently you are as dense as the phrases that spew from your comments. At least you could follow my -three steps- well. Basic motor skills and a basic understanding of the English language are within your grasp. However your understanding of numbers hasn't quite qualified you for 50 IQ...

How about three more steps?

1. Imitation is not a viable form of trolling...

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

Smug and boring – quite a combination, I’m impressed.

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish I thank you for your compliments but I abhor you for calling me "quite a combination".

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

So very tedious and dull.

Were you born that way or do you just work at it?

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish Honestly, If I was a paranoid man, I would say you were trying to challenge me. Anyway you should probably put "Born That Way" in quotes. I'm no lawyer but if I was...

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

I note you have a penchant for the words ‘honestly’ and ‘spew’ ... interesting.

Re being challenged ... is that not allowed in the nanaforiod universe then?

And against my better judgement I am interested in your rather cryptic ‘I’m no lawyer but if I was ...’

... yes – if you were, then what?

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish

"Honestly" to mask my deceptive nature "spew" to emphasize my lack of descriptive talent (beyond the odd barf metaphor).

As to my lawyeral fantasy, read the first letter of every word in that paragraph it is written in code.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

You have not thought this through. It only contains one paragraph - so the coded message is H. I have come to the conclusion that I am the one with the 'real case' on my hands and to use the little insult you adore so much - that you are clearly the troll.

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish

Actually "first letter of every word".

my oh my how the great do fall... Even the fact that you are reading for a code means that I have already won. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, I rest my case.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

Not so fast.

I then saw at a glance there was nothing in what you said anyway - could not be arsed to correct - simply awaited your excited response.

The fact I looked for a code that does not exist makes you a troll - Don’t you get it?

Sorry but there is no court case going on ... quick nurse he’s out of bed again.

So (as usual) what you have said does not in the end add to a row of (Mr) beans.

Face facts - you are a troll - QED.

Oh dear how the meek fall yet further.

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish

tl;dnr.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

Ok - short version

Try

Reading

On

Laughable

Loser

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish Was that so hard?

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@nanaforiod

You know what ... given the time of year ... let’s have an outbreak of peace !

Have a Happy Christmas !

:)

[nanaforiod]

@Silvergoldstarfish And you a Merry Holidays :)

[nanaforiod]

LOL i get the first part. It is about the hot air that is spewed from politicians heating the hands of that dude. Though I would hope that most people got that on their own.

[alexandertory]

Im voting for this guy in 2015,

[Silvergoldstarfish]

It's not racist or homophobic etc - it is taking the piss out of such attitudes

That is quite different from having the attitude

[CrazyRockerTom]

rather racist but rather hilarious

[epirus500]

@CrazyRockerTom its also apt given most conservative thought in the 80s and some still do...........also known as the euroskeptic right....

[AdamAus85]

Haha, wonderful.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Yes it is very funny how all they all take it so seriously . . .

But then having no sense of humour is virtually a manifesto pledge !

[IUKC]

Lol at the guy trying to show support for the Tories on a comedy video!

[PUMKINMANforever]

Concervatives in the UK are more liberal than the liberals in the US. Conservatives over here have gone off the deep end.

[epirus500]

@PUMKINMANforever surely u mean the republicans in the usa, theres no british equivalent of the tea party

[PUMKINMANforever]

@epirus500 That's exactly what I mean, and don't call my Surely.

[epirus500]

@PUMKINMANforever ah leslie nielsen he died too soon.....

[Sleck06]

@epirus500 Dont mind these idiot's arguments the Democratic party are right wing and the Republican party are far right wing, near fascist actually.

[lopezluch0]

POWER, What a wonderful word. ;P

[arthur1411]

Fact is - that was 'The nine o'clock news'.

[rammsteinlad]

I'm a conservative voter and this is genius !

[clavainova]

Heh, right on the spot.

[Willisheen]

The Tory's shut down our mines, killing off jobs by the thousands. They didn't care who was affected, they just went on with their plans.

[ukipwarrior]

@Willisheen Too right would we still be using coal fire power stations polluting our atmosphere and the workers going on strike so young kids froze in their hones still yea?!

[epdavies100]

@ukipwarrior Your views are more with the Conservative Party than UKIP. UKIP denies Climate Change, the Conservative Party does not. Nigel Farage said so himself that he condemns the Miners Strike.

[Willisheen]

@ukipwarrior You're an idiot, he have 200 years worth of coal but we can't use it. Now we fight a loser lifes for oil, when we have coal right here.

[nanaforiod]

@Willisheen or we could just use solar panel and not bother...

[michaelstup]

Sorry,but the tories always have been.and indeed,always will be,the fuck you,i'm alright party and that the working class should be put in their place.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

'people really do get the party wrong every time on this issue don't they'

Look at George Osbourne . . . Surely enough said

You can't have your cake & eat it

If you are a conservative then you just can't be right on & cool etc. - like, you just can't

[IAmMrLeroy]

I'm conservative and I think it's fucking funny.

[epdavies100]

This is rubbish. The Conservative Party has more Ethnic, Black and Gay MP's than any other Political Party in Britain. In 1987 Corporal Punishment in Schools in England was banned by the Conservative Goverment.

VOTE CONSERVATIVE!!!

[doctortehe]

@epdavies100 No.

[epdavies100]

@doctortehe Then I really dread to think what party you intend to vote for. I hope it's not the Liebour Party.

[doctortehe]

@epdavies100 I don't see the point in voting for any of the major parties since they are all lying scumbags who don't care about anyone like me. I suppose it's my fault for being a young girl who was raised on the welfare state by my mother and now I'm a student. Nobody in the Tories, the Lib Dems, Labour, the SNP, UKIP, Green Party, the BNP or even the socialists give a toss because they will lie, cheat and steal to line their own arses with diamonds.

[epdavies100]

@doctortehe What Have the Conservative Party Lyed About?

[doctortehe]

@epdavies100 Lied*.

The NHS cock-up, for example? "I'll cut the deficit, not the NHS" when the policy reformation have dropped or pushed out senior staff and replaced them with temps who have far less training and experience. Or does that not count?

Or perhaps the overzealous spending cuts across the board which isn't really working out well financially and may bring a double dip recession?

This economic climate, this pitiful country has as much Tory blood on it as there is Labour.

[Burnageable]

@epdavies100 And your saying that the Conservatives wouldnt have, and your also saying the Conservatives havn't proposed an over 150 page document for "reform" to the NHS and they said, oh nothing serious.

[Sleck06]

@epdavies100 the increased costs of the conservative NHS plan comes from the higher costs of privatisation

[epirus500]

@Sleck06 bit of an own goal there for fiscal conservatives

[Sleck06]

@epirus500 your right and they know it too this just points out the hypocrisy in their own ideology

[Burnageable]

@epdavies100 Dude, are you serious.... you should really look up your facts mate....

[Enleuk]

@epdavies100 This is a quote from Tory MP Nick Herbert: “At the last election, of our 193 MPs elected, just 17 were women, only two black or minority ethnic and two were openly gay. If we were truly representative of the country we would have 99 women, 16 black or minority ethnic and ten gay MPs.”

[epdavies100]

@Enleuk Still the Conservative Party has a great deal more Ethnic, Black and Gay MP's than any other party.

[LaFemmeMorte]

@epdavies100 Oh, I get it. You're an idiot lacking a sense of humour. The videos you've been commenting on are intended to be HUMOUROUS. They are NOT serious. Rather tragic that you are, though. And on the subject of homosexuality, need I remind you of Section 28? A Tory idea? Twatbasket.

[0Iluvater0]

@epdavies100 Oh be quiet, get a sense of humour it's a joke.

[catchthewave91]

@epdavies100 that's actually incorrect, Labour has far more black and ethnic minorities in it 6% of the party, compared with the Conservatives 4%, which up from 1% in 2005, part of Cameron's detoxification of the party, from the quite accurate impression in this video in the 1980s. You should probably research before making sweeping statements...

[epdavies100]

@catchthewave91 Britain's most powerful Muslim is the Chairman of the Conservative Party.

[blissy1]

@epdavies100 Its tongue in check. Get over it. Jeffery Archer was part of the Thatcher Government, and was'nt he just an outstanding MP !!

[nanaforiod]

@epdavies100 based on what? Nothing you have said was in anyway convincing...

[98smithg]

@epdavies100 It is for exactly those reason i am voting bnp

[epdavies100]

@98smithg How about vote for UKIP.

[98smithg]

@epdavies100 They don't have a representitive in my area, i do quite like that nigel farage fellow though.

[epdavies100]

@98smithg I am quite certain that there will be a UKIP candidate for every constituency at the next election.

[98smithg]

@epdavies100 Do you work for them or somthing?

[epdavies100]

@98smithg No!

[tempe011]

@epdavies100 we can only hope, mate

[EccentricRichard]

@98smithg - anyone who votes BNP is a traitorous Nazi bastard. This country has, from its very earliest days, been a haven for the oppressed, the minorities etc. Obviously it wasn't so for Catholics like myself for 300 years or so, but there you go. Are you seriously suggesting we should have more BNP/EDL thugs and no John Sentamus? Get real...

[wravenoak]

@EccentricRichard sounds like youve been a victim of the"ministry of thought" propaganda. get your brain washed out & think for yourself

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Oh contraire . . .

It's soooooo funny because it IS accurate

[heslop4]

This is not a true depiction of conservatives. Horrible and dishonest!

[Emiveritas]

What a very accurate and scarily prophetic impression of David Cameron...

[squaferno]

Conservatives really do need to read the bible quote mentioned at the end.

[AkaJetson]

That guys smile at 1:32 adds to the funnyness a lot

[Silvergoldstarfish]

You can talk ! !

Do I really have to explain it?

Actually I can't be bothered.

I am sure everyone else will get it.

Go back to your dry lecturing - suits you better.

You clearly have no sense of humour whatsoever!

[jimgroome]

"Another very emotive issyoo"

[NearAbbeyRoad]

@mrkillstab

"It is stupid to compare common sense with the leftist view that the state must cater for every ones need for cradle to grave."

Came about because no one homed in why most of the wealth is in the hands of a few people. The current Capitalist system ensures this will happen. Land Valuation Taxation - the SINGLE TAX, no others, no Income Tax, does not strip away the fruits of a mans labour - no longer a slave to a parasite landlord.

0.3% of population owns 70% of UK land. Go figure

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@NearAbbeyRoad

Steady on old bean ...

Now since you are near Abbey Road I am going to comfort you with this:

'Let it be - let it be - let it be - let it be ...

There will be an answer - let it be ...'

Pour yourself a drink + chill ... !

[NearAbbeyRoad]

@Silvergoldstarfish

Let it be was recorded at Twickenham.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

@NearAbbeyRoad

Arhh! The baaasstaaarrrdsss . . .

What are the chances !?

(That is not a rhetorical question, precise statistical answer please - but I am flexable, to the last 3 decimal places will do.)

Oh, and do you mind changing your name to NotAllThatFarFromTwickenham . . .

Thanks.

[NearAbbeyRoad]

@Silvergoldstarfish

"Arhh! The baaasstaaarrrdsss . . .

What are the chances !?

(That is not a rhetorical question, precise statistical answer please - but I am flexable, to the last 3 decimal places will do.)"

What are you blabbering about?

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Now people really do get the party wrong every time on this issue don't they . . .

Lol

[ismaelkhan]

BBAARRRSSTTEEDSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[alanheath2]

The ironic thing is that this programme - Not the Nine O'Clock news - was totally unfunny in its first series. I am amazed the BBC gave it a second chance. But they did and we need to be grateful for that!

[Silvergoldstarfish]

What !

You mean this is not real ?????????

[Babs44sun]

The sad thing is some americans actually say this as a serious argument

[Hemulen40]

Ha ha HA ! Go get ´em , Rowan !

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Yeah white people are all useless and lazy & everyone else are just so hardworking and cool (etc.)

. . . Now that's not racially prejudiced at all now is it? Of course not ! !

[Samgurney88]

iseeyoo.

[ABri591]

Respect for Rowan Atkinson for this ;) No one likes a tory

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Yeah it's a free for all !

Lol

Lol

Lol

Lol

(not)

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Denisss

[finnysayit]

iss-you! haha love the way he says it

[Silvergoldstarfish]

. . . Humping the bible, interesting - is that genetic ?

[OmegaRFox]

One thing I've always wondered. what is with the green, yellow and red light type things in front?

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Like George osbourne but with a personality

[MonacoLager1]

This isn't funny, its true.

[MonacoLager1]

@tomsega I was being sarcastic. This is extremely funny, but it is also very true in every aspect.

[tomsega]

@MonacoLager1 - Oh, sorry!

[MonacoLager1]

@tomsega Its perfectly fine. :)

[bleueyeddevl]

Johnny Depp has been watching learning from Rowan

[Xanaphia38]

ahhhh the BNP.......

[MrBuch169169]

But now that we've GOT the recipe.....

Awesome. xD

[bobwasgugliemo]

This speech should definately be lip-synced to a David Cameron video!!

[SuperTruth77]

The Liam Fox business demonstrates why I don’t vote Tory any more.

I’m fed up with the party pretending to be anti-homosexual, only to be FULL of ex-public schoolboy fudge-packers. For God’s sake, that sort of activity is OK for horseplay in the showers when you’re 14, but it’s NEVER supposed to be the basis of a whole lifestyle! FILTH, all of them! The BNP will get my vote from now on. Simple-minded proles to be sure, but at least they keep their todgers away from other men’s anuses.

[Greatkingrat88]

@SuperTruth77 Scientific evidence points to homosexuality being an inborn, genetic trait. If you're gay, you can't help it. And there's really nothing ethically objectionable about it unless one is a blble-humping, narrow-minded bigot. The gay lifestylehas as much right to exist as the heterosexual lifestyle. Which in many cases is exactly the same life style, only with same sex partners.

[NearAbbeyRoad]

@SuperTruth77

"The Liam Fox business demonstrates why I don’t vote Tory any more."

The prime concern of the Tory party is to a maintain a privileged ruling start of public school/Oxbridge, etc. If the rest gain hat is their good luck.

[DreddDwarf]

@SuperTruth77

I.m sorry but I never even considered endulging in homoserxuality at any age and especially in the showers. Being straight I find the naked male body a real turn off.

But your admission that you're a closet homosexual explains your hostility to gays perfectly.

[EccentricRichard]

@SuperTruth77 - the reason why the BNP are so violently anti-gay is that they're all repressed gays. People who are entirely comfortable in their own heterosexuality are never that paranoid about gays. Anyway, what's Liam Fox got to do with it? You'd be better off citing Lib Dem Mark Oaten... Fox fouled up on conflict of interest in business matters. He and Werrity are both straight and married. PS remember there are plenty of celibate gays. Don't vote for those Nazi thugs!

[Vodkametalhead]

1:56 

[sunonthewindow]

What does he say at the end of this line?? "liberal, wishy washy, socialist, nigger-loving, redneck, left-wing homosexual....commuways?" What is that word? Commie ways? commune ways?

[Arctisticus]

@sunonthewindow

commie ways

[Tenkensoujiro666]

@sunonthewindow it's Commie Ways of the recent past... (Commie is short for Communist)

[MOSTechnology]

i'd vote for this guy!

[YUR800]

Holy shit when was this, 30 years ago? Politics never really change

[essertpitay]

Most of it could be true.

[darkastonvillafan]

Everything he said there the tory's are still saying.

[Nerzhina]

Ah what a funny guy. Atkinson he's guaranteed to make you laugh.

[wenger1972]

What David Cameron really meant to say today

[BeepBeepBoing]

@wenger1972 you read my mind lol

[ngdj999]

he's brilliant

[ukipwarrior]

Filthy tories us Labour lot will tear down the union flag and build our red flag socialist multicultural utopia!!

[Sonik117]

@ukipwarrior Haha. You're a twat.

[Sonik117]

@ukipwarrior Haha. You're a twat.

[CJCMurray]

Love how he says "bastards"
