This was uploaded in 2006. And I assume filmed sometime before that. Pretty sure the UK petrol prices has doubled since then! YOUR PLAN DIDN'T WORK SIMON!!
I was passing through Wottoon Basset the other day, and a squaddie healed my son of leprosy, and brought back the sight of my blind daughter. I hate myself for only working in British Industry, and will gladly feed myself into a Soylent Green machine for our brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave boys. God* bless 'em.
@xjames118 I'm glad you mentioned the word " brave " so many times because that is exactly what they are ! I would dearly love to see YOU on the front line, you'd be pissing your pants and crying for mommy inside of 5 mins ! And that wonderful " British Industry " that you work in would not even exist today if so many selfless men and women of our armed forces hadn't " fed themselves into a Soylent Green machine " during WW2 because it'd now be a GERMAN industry. Show some respect !!!
@unrealaldridgeguy (sigh) You really want to have this tired old argument? I'll say; "Blah, blah, blah, because X, Y and Z", and you'll say, "Blah, blah, blah, because... um... my mind is a bag of cliches and Daily Mail headlines", and I'll win, and you'll clench your jaw & break one of your son's Ben 10 figures. GROW UP with your citing of World War Two. Nazis wanted to invade Europe indiscrimintely, whereas the -tiniest- nod of humility would make us disappear from fundamental Islam's radar.
@unrealaldridgeguy I'm confused. You cited World War Two as a reason for having the -modern- army. If that wasn't tenuous enough, are you saying that the Taliban doesn't even enter into it, and the Army should exist 'just because'? Just in case Godzilla attacks? And you do read the Daily Mail. I've seen you reading it at 3 AM. And you use it as wallpaper in your treehouse. And you have a tattoo of Jade Goody saying 'Goodbye England's Rose'.
@xjames118 Well at least we agree on one thing, you are OBVIOUSLY confused ! I cited WW2 a reason that you should have a little more appreciation and respect for the armed forces, modern or otherwise. What would be YOUR alternative to having a modern army ? Gather around a campfire eating kous kous discussing leaflet campaigns and hugging trees, or maybe a more proactive approach.How about a sit down protest outside the embassy ? Hell, if THAT didn't work then I don't know what would *FACEPALM*
@unrealaldridgeguy 'Kous kous'? You have an overinflated idea about Britain's relevance. Our economy is precarious & unsustainable to an AUDACIOUS degree - anyone who invaded us couldn't help but do a better job. As I said, the terrorists who hate us, while they're insane & tyrannical, DO have legitmate grievances against us, which we could remove over night, politically, if we wanted. Let me ask you: which do you hate more, any kind of terrorist or the countryload of Vicky Pollards we now have?
@xjames118 These 'legitimate grievances', would they include the fact that Britain isn't the Muslim state which they think it should be, along with the rest of western society, because we don't treat women as second rate citizens or because we don't stone people to death or cut their hands off as they do it their civilized world ? Is it because they think it's ok to blow up innocent people indiscriminately including women and children because we dare to defy their barbaric way of life ?
@unrealaldridgeguy Zeal, Id, Hubris, call it what you like -- it's a natural human emotion and it can be channelled into either barbaric religion or work ethos or stoical acceptance. But one thing we can say for sure is that it's not the tiniest bit compatible with the decadent, deluded, imperialist character which Britain has today. Should we become a Muslim state? No, but if we showed Islam-like humility to, say, the NHS, old people's homes, tangible industry -how could this not win them over?
@xjames118 Let me correct you on a few issues there A/ I don't nor have I ever read the Dail Mail B/ I don't clench my jaw and break things, I'm a grown man and I act accordingly ( please don't judge others by your own low standards ) and C/ What in the name of god are you waffling about " Islam's Radar ", who mentioned Islam ? and D - " I'll win " - No punchline needed.
@KeepEuropeWhite Surprise surprise, Little boy BNP can't even spell the name of his country.
P.s. I'm English too, genius but if I felt so insecure as to need nationalist motto's, I'll forever call Éireann go Brách, before ever chanting "Engurlandd". In fact, I don't think I could possibly chant the latter with a straight face.
I promised earlier that I wouldn't give you a hard time, as you're obviously not particularly intelligently endowed and seeing that you're only young, I stand by that.
@KeepEuropeWhite Haha. Really mate, no need to let this upset you.
Though, by the look of your name, I can see you are likely not the wisest or brightest YouTuber, so I won't give you a hard time for being a bit of a cretin.
I've SO had this happen. Just repeating something someone said that sounded smart, then you look like an idiot when someone makes a cogent argument to the contrary. =/

on Oct 1, 2008 president Bush deployed a combat brigade from Iraq to the United States. 3000-4000 soldiers will appear on American streets. Their mandate is to engage in "crowd control & subdue individuals who are posing a threat to public order"
So ask yourself this, who is "our" and what "way of life" is being protected?
Yeah well thats the american way of life. Which is to use the military to impose on other countries way of life, such as their unwanted involvement in vietnam.

lols this is funny!!! basicly i think i'd find all uk comedy funny , whether it was english or irish or scottish i dnt get how ppl say theyre different countries (although theyre all in the same place!!),..tbh i dnt see the diff..am african and i hve a varied sese of humour..lols :P
Oh God. Was looking at YTube bits about history, etc, lots of argumentative and cheap comments. Thought I'd turn to comedy to lighten the day - and more bloody idiots getting all nationalistic. About COMEDY! What an 'effin' hoot that is. Cheers guys.
I think this work's realy well because: this is a perfect example of anxiety, people feel when they are about to make an Opinion in real life. That they would be rejected, like in the video.
OK, Penguin8729, you may not find it funny, probably because you have no sense of humour.
If anyone wants to know what Penguin8729 finds funny, check out her profile page and you'll see her pathetic little video uploaded there. I didn't exactly piss myself when I saw it.
You can't even spell 'humour' correctly, let alone understand it.
Typical Americans. Just because it doesn't have a grossly overweight main character, they don't get it. Just look at all the great Britcoms over the years: Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Spaced, The Fast Show, Harry Enfield, The Young Ones, Garth Merenghi's Darkplace, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Father Ted. If you think they all suck, then you have absolutely no sense of humour.
Also, typical of Americans to turn a classic comedy sketch into a political debate.
Yes, I'm aware of this, but technically, it's a British show as it was made by a British company (RTE originally turned it down). And yes, I am always annoyed when the brits claim our stuff as their own.
"Father ted is Irish humour not british and meant for an irish audience " Ok, we'll agree not to watch Father Ted if you agree not to watch Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, Smack the Pony, Green Wing, Little Britain, Reeves and Mortimer, Absolutely Fabulous, Blackadder, Alan Partridge, The Mighty Boosh, Red Dwarf, Only Fools and Horses, Peep Show, Spaced,... and Big Train.
... or maybe the British and Irish are -just- similar enough to find each other's comedy funny, you retard.
what are you on about, this has nothing to do with finding british comedy funny or not, we were talking about whether father ted was a Irish or British comedy as he stated it being a britcom and i just corrected him
Then why did you say 'it is Irish homour and it was intended for an Irish audience'? It just sounded like you were implying that Brits couldn't really understand it since it wasn't intended for us. I find Father Ted hilarious, partly because I was raised in strict religious hypocrisy but mostly because it's f**king genius
I'm irish and i brought a father ted dvd on my travels you'd be amazed how many different nationalities understand the humour. You can't pigeon hole a good comedy like that. The same way i met lots of Americans who watch The Mighty boosh, Red dwarf, and Peep Show. Good comedy travels and British comedy IS the best
@3SS I think us Brits (before anyone jumps in, when I say "us Brits", I obviously mean myself and my countrymen, I'm not suggesting 3SS or Ireland is British. Sorry, 3SS but you'd be surprised how often people have jumped down my throat on here if I'm not absolutely, completely clear about separating Eire from the UK :-) Walking on egg shells, mate, hehe) are extremely pompous and snobby when discussing Yanks appreciation of comedy. We tell ourselves they can't appreciate subtlety, irony, etc.
Which is not only wrong and unfair but also very arrogant and pretty obnoxious.
It's a very transparent way of telling ourselves that we are special, more witty and intelligent and that the Yanks are base, dull and clumsy.
The proof that this accusation is wrong is obvious and clearly out there for everyone to see. Pretty fucking stupid too, considering the US is often miles ahead of the UK in both sitcoms and stand ups (obviously they have much shite too. Fucking loads, actually!). [cont..]
But still, here in the UK, people sit around, wanking each other off, telling ourselves that Brit and Irish comedy is a league above, that it's special and that there is no point in sharing it with the Americans as they would never understand it anyway, the subtlety, intelligence and nuances would be completely lost on them, and so on. I mean, how horrible is that attitude, really? It's terrible, isn't it? It's regularly there though, check any UK comedy here and see the comments. Embarrassing!
Haha! Sorry 3SidedSquare, mate, I actually had a point in response to what you were saying about Father Ted pretty much being universally funny and pleasurable but it seems I lost it somewhere while I was sat on my high horse! :-)
@jerry303 OK, thanks for letting me know. You honestly didn't need to go to the trouble to tell me, mate but I appreciate you taking the time.
I'm not exactly sure why you would let me know, though. I don't even know why you would bother trying to read what I wrote at all, considering I was speaking to someone else and it was none of your business. It's especially strange when you admit to struggle reading and understanding writing.
@Triplesod - Such a long winded response to try and make yourself seem smart, yet my comment was not that I could not read what you had indeed written, just the fact I read the wanking bit and thought it funny. Oh by the way, this is a public domain and any / all comments are subjct to counter comments, opinions and general bollocks of such. So well done smart arse, also I'm not your mate.
@rabbitpi He didn't mean any such thing. Stop being such a big girls blouse! It is quite obvious what he meant. It's an Irish comedy and he's proud of that, rightly so.
Fuck me, the internet makes people sensitive, doesn't it?
@Paddy234 To be fair though, I've read Arthur Matthews and Graham Linehan - (the writers, as I'm sure you know), two Irish men - also call it a Britcom but also being extremely and fundamentally Irish at the same time.
I know you weren't suggesting that only Irish folk can completely appreciate FT but I do think that the show couldn't possibly have been crated by English, or indeed anyone but the Irish.
Obviously humour is approached differently in different countries and what one culture finds funny is not the same as what another culture will find funny but laughter is universal and I doubt there is a person on the planet who wouldn't giggle at seeing one of their countries upper classes falling flat on his/her arse!
The national elitism in comedy fans is pretty embarrassing and we'd all be better for it if we were rid of it!
[cont...] That said, I think British and Irish comedy is pretty much as similar as two countries can get. Same with US, Canada and Aussie, although, as far as I know, it is only the UK which has found so much mileage and cheap laughs from the stereotype/cliche of the "bumbling, thick Paddy", which really is pretty condemning of the British sense of humour, isn't it? :-)
@Triplesod god i totally forgot this comment it's over a year old (!) I'm just glad that there are so many good comedies for all of us to enjoy, the BBC & C4 do it best IMO. I'm presuming your username is a Brasseye reference??? LOL
@Triplesod It would be, if such jokes had not gone out of fashion at least 20 years ago, along with mother-in-law and "my wife is so fat ..." jokes. Every Irish character I see these days, since The Fast Show at least, is always the straight-man while his British colleague is the bumbling idiot.
It's true the dimwitted Paddy joke had a long life, but it is dead and buried now - has been for years. The BNP creature down below probably still tells a few, but he's hardly representative.

Stupid Brits, they think stupid things are so funny.... hmm... No wonder that nothing good comes from Britain.
penguin8729 3 years ago
OK, Penguin8729, you may not find it funny, probably because you have no sense of humour.
If anyone wants to know what Penguin8729 finds funny, check out her profile page and you'll see her pathetic little video uploaded there. I didn't exactly piss myself when I saw it.
You can't even spell 'humour' correctly, let alone understand it.

Typical Americans. Just because it doesn't have a grossly overweight main character, they don't get it. Just look at all the great Britcoms over the years: Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Spaced, The Fast Show, Harry Enfield, The Young Ones, Garth Merenghi's Darkplace, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Father Ted. If you think they all suck, then you have absolutely no sense of humour.
Also, typical of Americans to turn a classic comedy sketch into a political debate.

Father ted is Irish humour not british and meant for an irish audience
Paddy234 3 years ago
Yes, I'm aware of this, but technically, it's a British show as it was made by a British company (RTE originally turned it down). And yes, I am always annoyed when the brits claim our stuff as their own.

"Father ted is Irish humour not british and meant for an irish audience " Ok, we'll agree not to watch Father Ted if you agree not to watch Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, Smack the Pony, Green Wing, Little Britain, Reeves and Mortimer, Absolutely Fabulous, Blackadder, Alan Partridge, The Mighty Boosh, Red Dwarf, Only Fools and Horses, Peep Show, Spaced,... and Big Train.
... or maybe the British and Irish are -just- similar enough to find each other's comedy funny, you retard.
rabbitpi 2 years ago 5
what are you on about, this has nothing to do with finding british comedy funny or not, we were talking about whether father ted was a Irish or British comedy as he stated it being a britcom and i just corrected him
Paddy234 2 years ago
Then why did you say 'it is Irish homour and it was intended for an Irish audience'? It just sounded like you were implying that Brits couldn't really understand it since it wasn't intended for us. I find Father Ted hilarious, partly because I was raised in strict religious hypocrisy but mostly because it's f**king genius

I'm irish and i brought a father ted dvd on my travels you'd be amazed how many different nationalities understand the humour. You can't pigeon hole a good comedy like that. The same way i met lots of Americans who watch The Mighty boosh, Red dwarf, and Peep Show. Good comedy travels and British comedy IS the best

@3SS I think us Brits (before anyone jumps in, when I say "us Brits", I obviously mean myself and my countrymen, I'm not suggesting 3SS or Ireland is British. Sorry, 3SS but you'd be surprised how often people have jumped down my throat on here if I'm not absolutely, completely clear about separating Eire from the UK :-) Walking on egg shells, mate, hehe) are extremely pompous and snobby when discussing Yanks appreciation of comedy. We tell ourselves they can't appreciate subtlety, irony, etc.
Triplesod 11 months ago
Which is not only wrong and unfair but also very arrogant and pretty obnoxious.
It's a very transparent way of telling ourselves that we are special, more witty and intelligent and that the Yanks are base, dull and clumsy.
The proof that this accusation is wrong is obvious and clearly out there for everyone to see. Pretty fucking stupid too, considering the US is often miles ahead of the UK in both sitcoms and stand ups (obviously they have much shite too. Fucking loads, actually!). [cont..]
Triplesod 11 months ago
But still, here in the UK, people sit around, wanking each other off, telling ourselves that Brit and Irish comedy is a league above, that it's special and that there is no point in sharing it with the Americans as they would never understand it anyway, the subtlety, intelligence and nuances would be completely lost on them, and so on. I mean, how horrible is that attitude, really? It's terrible, isn't it? It's regularly there though, check any UK comedy here and see the comments. Embarrassing!
Triplesod 11 months ago
Haha! Sorry 3SidedSquare, mate, I actually had a point in response to what you were saying about Father Ted pretty much being universally funny and pleasurable but it seems I lost it somewhere while I was sat on my high horse! :-)

@jerry303 OK, thanks for letting me know. You honestly didn't need to go to the trouble to tell me, mate but I appreciate you taking the time.
I'm not exactly sure why you would let me know, though. I don't even know why you would bother trying to read what I wrote at all, considering I was speaking to someone else and it was none of your business. It's especially strange when you admit to struggle reading and understanding writing.
All the best.
Triplesod 9 months ago
@Triplesod - Such a long winded response to try and make yourself seem smart, yet my comment was not that I could not read what you had indeed written, just the fact I read the wanking bit and thought it funny. Oh by the way, this is a public domain and any / all comments are subjct to counter comments, opinions and general bollocks of such. So well done smart arse, also I'm not your mate.

@rabbitpi He didn't mean any such thing. Stop being such a big girls blouse! It is quite obvious what he meant. It's an Irish comedy and he's proud of that, rightly so.
Fuck me, the internet makes people sensitive, doesn't it?
Triplesod 1 year ago
@Paddy234 To be fair though, I've read Arthur Matthews and Graham Linehan - (the writers, as I'm sure you know), two Irish men - also call it a Britcom but also being extremely and fundamentally Irish at the same time.
I know you weren't suggesting that only Irish folk can completely appreciate FT but I do think that the show couldn't possibly have been crated by English, or indeed anyone but the Irish.
Triplesod 11 months ago
Irish humour is different from British humour?
Not really, funny things are funny.
Don't bring nationalism into petty things as tv comedy shows.
RedcoatMic24 2 years ago 7
@RedcoatMic24 Good point, mate.
Obviously humour is approached differently in different countries and what one culture finds funny is not the same as what another culture will find funny but laughter is universal and I doubt there is a person on the planet who wouldn't giggle at seeing one of their countries upper classes falling flat on his/her arse!
The national elitism in comedy fans is pretty embarrassing and we'd all be better for it if we were rid of it!
Triplesod 11 months ago
[cont...] That said, I think British and Irish comedy is pretty much as similar as two countries can get. Same with US, Canada and Aussie, although, as far as I know, it is only the UK which has found so much mileage and cheap laughs from the stereotype/cliche of the "bumbling, thick Paddy", which really is pretty condemning of the British sense of humour, isn't it? :-)
Triplesod 11 months ago
@Triplesod god i totally forgot this comment it's over a year old (!) I'm just glad that there are so many good comedies for all of us to enjoy, the BBC & C4 do it best IMO. I'm presuming your username is a Brasseye reference??? LOL
3SidedSquare 11 months ago
@Triplesod It would be, if such jokes had not gone out of fashion at least 20 years ago, along with mother-in-law and "my wife is so fat ..." jokes. Every Irish character I see these days, since The Fast Show at least, is always the straight-man while his British colleague is the bumbling idiot.
It's true the dimwitted Paddy joke had a long life, but it is dead and buried now - has been for years. The BNP creature down below probably still tells a few, but he's hardly representative.
