  • I have that exact ET toy :D

    Your videos are fantastic! :)

  • ...favorite vlog to date. Hands down. Love the Blues send out Peter!

  • haha the end with E.T. made me laugh so much :D so adorable and your laughter is so contagious!!

  • your laughter is contagious!! :-D

  • this brings back memories, I used to have one of those as a kid, or my friend did.

  • Actually it's still Peter's generation. George Bush Sr. was a fighter pilot in WWII and is only 3 years older than Peter.

  • the generation right before yours is the greatest peter, because most of the men saved the world from hitler and his MINIONS

  • It was so cute to see E.T. with your laughter!!! You're fantastic...

  • Love ET! And yOU.. Great laughter, the best medicine!

  • agreed.

  • That was directed towards ghosttownV2...

  • I suppose intellect passed him up, obviously the rest of us understood "That one word" meant love and not the whole "I love you"

  • "if there's a point to this". yes Pete. YOU sir are the point! communication and sharing. this is exactly what this medium is for and you are the very best of it. this is so so funny, (the E.T is brilliant) and it is so great to see you laughing as hard as I was! FANTASIC STUFF!

  • Keira1177, i hope your talking about the E.T. doll, if your refering to Peter then fuck off

  • LOL! Shush, E.T.!

  • Ok...this was just adorable :) Hopefully love does conquer all :)

  • Dear Peter,

    Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

    It is somehow amazing that is requires modern communication for the young to be interested in listening to the older generation...

    Even as this is quite an impersonal and indirect way of communication...well, it seems to work :)

    I am looking forward to all of your next videos,

    Cheers, Mike Peter

  • i was feeling a bit blue and lonely,and you just gave me warm fuzzys! thankyou.

  • This viedo really lifted my spirit and made me smile. Thank you very much:)

  • this really made me smile :) thankyou for such a nice video

  • It's nice to see you laughing and having such a good time. That was cute ;)

  • lol!! i used too have one of those ET toy.

  • this is a very wise man

  • shut up, stupid!!

  • Thanks for the great vid!

  • I don't know how to tell you this Peter, but ET is stoned! Just give him some Doritos.

  • ignorance is bliss of course

  • world war 3 is going to happen its going to be much worse than ww2 and ww1

  • Worse than trench warfare, genocide, death camps, Hitler etc etc? if you say so. WW3 if and when it happens will be nuclear and over in a flash.

  • then we will all die in a flash

  • ww3 already happened... We called it the "cold war" Many people lost their lives in this war.

  • laughter is the best medicine.... keep up the good work..slowly working my way through your movies thoroughly enjoying them stretch from australia

  • Answers the question "Whatever happened to Max headroom?"

  • well Old Man, YouTube was invented for you, I guess? We have lots to worry about.. for example, that poster on your wall??

  • By the way, that ET is awesome. His finger was glowing too, haha

  • Enjoyed your video and I enjoyed ET. Nice to see you are keeping him mannered Peter. :-)

  • Funny stuff. Give him a little slap for speaking over you though, then perhaps he might learn. :P

  • You are a great guy! Keep up the good work on your blogs! ^.^

    Love,

    Nicole.

  • I am a new subscriber and really enjoy your wisdom :)

  • sweet! i know what i want for christmas.

  • That was hilarious as well as insightful. I had never thought of the age of innocence as possibly the age of ignorance as well. Well worth a watch!

  • still loving your videos

  • Good to see you LAUGHING!

  • And you do, calling someone a Disrespectful name like that? I think You have it twisted.

  • Great!

  • this is great

  • How wonderful to see you laugh, Peter. Are you aware that Martin passed away? I think he was inspired by you to talk about his life on youtube, and he enjoyed it so much. Go on! You are very inspiring.

  • Interesting. A new era of the oral tradition. Passed down information in a new format. How long will we remember E.T.?

  • I'm getting worried about you now playing with dolls.

  • WoW man u OWN!

  • this is lovely

  • You are such a wonderfull Man!!

    You really do warm my heart!!

    I love watching your video's, your so inspireing!

  • Looks like you've found a good sidekick for your videos! "Grandpa's talking" LOL!

  • Uh oh!!!! Grandad's lost it : )

    I don't understand the point of ET in this video but it was funny though.

  • I found your videos after time magazine mentioned you in their youtube article. I agree with others who love your videos. It's so soothing to listen to your voice. Thanks!

  • Laughter is contagious and saying "I love you" is too. Keep the stories coming!

  • I think this is one of my favorite videos from you yet. To see you laughing and having so much fun is charming and the message is just as delightful! Much love to you too!

  • I'd like to know when your birthday is. The world wants to throw you a party. We could get together at - uhh - Wembley Stadium and have an intimate gathering of thousands. Are you up for that?  Of course we would send a limo for you.

  • ET interrupting you just cracks me up!  :-)

  • Awe, its great to see you laughing and smiling Peter!

  • lol that is a great toy, i wish i had one too. nice video peter.

  • You remind me of Mr. Rogers from that old children's TV show. =3

  • idiot lol

  • Omg great poster behind you! Pink Floyd FTW!!!!11!1

  • So true about children and animals.. didn't W.C. Fields have something to say about that? ;-)

  • Aww Peter this is the first of your video i've watched since like your 8th video!!

    Omg i misss youuuuuu.

    I LURVVVVVVVE YOOU.

    haha. Gosh awwww.

    PETER PETER PETER!! =]

    Aww @ ET

    I will catch up on your videos soon i promis.

    xxx

  • he's nervous or on a ventilator

  • Awwwwwww!!! That was touching!!!

  • Peter, that was a great video, perhaps one of my very favorites. It's fun to see you laughing, and having fun with ET - he's fantastic, too. Thank you, and keep laughing and smiling, you are wonderful!

  • Nice one!

  • You're so funny, Peter. He didn't upstage you too much...He just thought he was the ventriloquist and you were the dummy...hehe...can't blame a guy for tryin' lol...I'm at the library right now. My computer is totally frozen so I can't upload my response vid to you. :( Hopefully I can get it rectified before too long although it might not be till after the weekend. I think I will go through youtube withdrawal symptoms. :( :) Peace, Patti pi

  • ..i wish you were my grandpa

  • I'm so glad that you updated, Mr.Peter! I was beginning to worry a lot about you. =/ Your videos are priceless, and so informative and encouraging! I loved your little sidekick in this particular video, E.T. makes a great little companion for you now, doesn't he? :] I hope to hear from you soon. We love you, Peter! All the best from NC, in the states HeHe. ;] --//xo;Ace

  • I think you are great Peter, and ET too! I want one, Thank you.

  • I enjoyed that. thank you.too funny:)

  • A remarkable event happened in my life in 1982: I saw "ET" premiere at the cinema, and the music soundtrack by John Williams changed my life forever. Years later, I still pull out my DVD and watch once again the mystery come to life as ET steals our hearts and our imaginations. Love and kindness know no boundaries, nor age restriction. Remember that, folks. And again Peter, thank you for being just, well... YOU!!!

    Love, Thom

  • I hope you keep making videos for as long as you like and talking about whatever you choose. When you get together with friends, you don't plan your conversations, you just talk about whatever is on your mind at that moment. That's why I like these videos so much. Interesting, wry, very amusing sometimes, occasionally a bit sad, but always always always enjoyable. No matter what the subject of the day might be. :-)

  • Oh God, this is so great Peter. I LOVE E.T. What a great toy. I had saved about 30 E.T. posters but I had them in storage and they wound up getting put up for auction. Maybe I'll send you a video of my invisible kitty cat singing about a UFO Peace, Patti pi from the U.S.

  • Wow! How cool is that? ET! I loved the movie and can still watch it over and over again.

  • One of the few precious examples of useful, entertaining and genuine bloggers on youtube. The E.T. thing was just adorable. Please keep posting, your vids are invaluable. :c)

  • thanks alot enjoyed it loads

  • You are a lovely Man Peter... Love is all we need

  • te keo weno gringo ql Cool

  • you are the cutest grandpa, I love you and ET so cute and how you talked to him was adorable, thanks for tying in the past with the present and describing the good and bad about them both, I love you lots, hope that makes you feel as good as you make me feel

  • Peter, thank you! You're wonderful :D

  • In 2 days, I've watched all of Peter's blogs and just love him!! Peter and ET tickle me no end!! I've replayed this a LOT and laughter definitely is contagious!! Keep on laughing, Peter!! Thank you!!

  • Man this guy is awesome! Obviously someone of his age has seen so much and experienced so much in a time when our world has changed exponentially. And that he is so plugged into technology to do this stuff is way cool! I have been trying for years to get my father, born 1924, to do video logs for his grandkids and maybe this will give him some encouragement. Go man U r geat!

  • THAT IS INSANE!!! I can't believe that there is a toy like that. All of the cool toys come out after you are done playing with toys.... :(

  • as I've gotten older, I find that toys are just as much fun...sometimes even more fun... than when I was a kid. You're never too old to play with toys in my view. :-)

  • HAHA you could be right.

  • Peter, you are an adorable man. I love your videos, keep posting them!

  • That was adorable sir! E.T. was the first movie to make me cry...I must've been 10 yrs.old. Thanks for the memories!

  • "Just be quiet now Grandad's talking" that was awesome thank you peter on your views E.T was one of the first films I saw as a child in theaters.

  • your awsome!!

  • That was so cute..you really make the past come into the here and now..I really enjoy your vids.

  • Wow I'm glad you repleid and were so nice in taking that. I hugly enjoyed your first 5 videos, but after that I found it all the same so I just dint sit thorugh the whole 9 minutes. However I continue to give 5 star ratings for every video from you. Its just I really like that video you talked about the man who kissed the kid on the forehead and was fined. You should talk more about things that peeve old people off! :)

  • hahaha, E.T. was one of my favorite movies growing up.

  • I love you Peter.

  • hahahah. i love seeing you laugh!

  • E.T. just wouldn't shut up. Ooh, these Aliens now-a-days. Ever so disobedient.

    I laughed throughout. A Great video! 5 stars!

  • Very cute and funny I agree!!! This is the first of your videos I have seen. I have none of my own. Maybe someday that will change, but I am hopelessly addicted to youtube~! :) Going to watch more of your videos now.

  • I love ET too. That was cute.

  • That was sweet!

    I love you Sir!

    Hans

  • I think the reason why you came as such a huge popular icon was because YOU PROMISED you would talk about things that peeved you off... howcome you are only talking on and on about you long long long life? I dont think its going to last like this. Young people have short attention spans

  • If this was the first video of yours I had watched I would probably think your nuts... but in a good way. Great to hear from you and loved the message. Your the best!

  • Thanx Peter ! Better we cant learn.

  • Advertizing for spielberg now?

  • Great video Peter. Can't imagine you would 'not know anything' in the old days as you are so aware of the world around you now.

    The office of grandad is an amazing relationship - it makes the trials and responsibility of parenthood worthwhile.

  • And thankx again....

  • You can't find that toy here anymore.

  • Very great part of your life - again (:

    Keep it up!

    (arr.. i wann have this ET too :D)

  • aw i loved this

  • That was so sweet of your grandchildren to give you ET! He's rather misbehaved though, don't you think? ; )

  • buttseckz

  • Legend!

  • WE LOVE YOU, SIR PETER!!

  • Spot on with your observations about the influx of information bombarding us. It's good to know, but it also can be very stressful.

  • As ever loving your work....Keep it up...

  • Oh Peter, that was precious! It's so good to see you chuckling and I'm glad ET found a good home. You are a total delight, as always! Thanks again, so very much!

  • why are you wearing a tie.. getting ready to go to a dinner party or something

  • We don't have more things to worry about , we just have more ways to worry .

  • What a nice fellow.

  • Great video Peter. ET is so cute and I just love that doll...I want one!

  • ET, what a great film! Glad they didn't do one of those "sequels." Not seen one of those ET dolls before and now I want one! Love does conquer all, you are quite right and I love to see you laugh like that, I really do. Thanks for another great vid. xx

  • lookin snappy

  • i love you

  • As usual great video Peter.

    Maria

  • you are such a sweetie :)

  • Thank you so much for sharing your videos, Peter. You're one of the reasons I love YouTube so much.

    Cheers from the Central US.

  • that was fun!  thanks!

  • that is the best laugh i have ever seen from you! made me want to go get one of those dolls. i just had to put my 12 year old black lab to sleep and there has been a lot of sadness. this was a big lift. thank goodness you found an outlet for your spirit here on youtube.

  • So glad you're out there! You're so enjoyable! :)

  • lol, great stuff.

    i just love to watch your videos :-)

    hugs from germany, goldbeere

  • awesome vidd

  • I was just telling my son a couple days ago that I thought I'd like to watch ET again. Timeless! I have stuffed ET dolls, but I've never seen one like yours. Classic! Thanks Peter. Oh, it's snowing here in Colorado today! Good day to stay in and watch ET!

    I'll be right here....B Good...I love you!

  • Made me smile. Greetings from Germany.

  • In Missouri - they tell me I was "brought up in the shade" - I loved being innocent in my youth - always a giggle and a smile. Peter - you made my heart sing to hear you laugh. You are a "forever" treat for me. Love you. xoxoxoxox

  • Ello.

    It's awesome you're making YouTube videos.

    I think younger people worry a lot more about too many things now when they should be enjoying being young!

  • Just watched this again still smiling.

  • It was almost as if you had your grandchild on your lap.

  • Lol its like Dr. Evil and his cat.

  • Great Peter, your fantastic

  • I think u & Fruitcake lady of the tonight show wud have been a really gud couple lol! To bad she's dead! Sleep easy now!!!

  • Love your videos, respect

  • hahahaha! That is brilliant, you are great Peter I love the bit where you go "please be quiet grandads talking" :D I really wish I had one of those ET toys they are awesome!!

  • your video made me smile a lot. You're a great charming guy, these videos are great!

  • Yes!! Happiness is where you find it.Only one word.

  • Good to see your silly side Peter. Happiness is where you find it. Comes in all different shapes,sizes and colors. Keep em coming Pete.

  • you're just one of a kind, peter.

    i hope you'll be around here for as long as possible!

    :-)

  • loved it and we all love u sooo much,,all the love and luck to u my friend....heidojo

  • hahhahaf funny

  • Peter, you're a diamond. A pleasure to watch yer vids.

  • As you say, never work with animals or children...or their toys :)

  • Most excellent Peter that was fantastic :D

  • Great!

  • lol i like this one. xx Well done, i used to love E.T. when i was 6, i'm 16 now and i still like him.

  • loved it. you are awesome

  • Thank you, Geriatric1927, for these great videos. You are doing a tremendous job, I hope you can keep going for long. It is "Dad's day" today at least here in Finland, and I think many of those who find your stories important for themselves would have liked to hear such stories from their own fathers. So in this way you are doing a great service for many! Thank you and God bless!

  • he he he I love ET, and your stories are great Peter. Keep them coming. (And hey, I'm glad you've NOT grown too old for toys! It makes me feel better that I still watch cartoons. )

  • Triumph!

    watch your phone bill Pops, ET makes long long long distance calls..

  • YOU ROCK!

  • Priceless! Absolutely priceless!

    Do you "plan" a video or just talk and speak your mind?

    Such an enjoyment to watch!

  • Does anyone remember... didn't G-1927, in one of his very early "Telling It All" videos, have E.T. sitting back over to one side sorta in the background? I think several people noticed and commented on it and a lot of us were wondering about it! Finally the story comes out... great!

  • You have a great smile and laugh, Peter! Loved this video! And yes, those three words mean an awful lot. We love you, Peter! Thank you! :)

  • great to hear! More please :-)

  • Great Vid, very funny.May I ask, What do you mean by saying...'Don't work with Children or Animals'?

  • It's an old show business saying "never work with children or animals" because of their un predictability.

  • Actually W.C. Fields said it, because children and animals always upstage the star of the show.

  • I love these vids.

  • lol awesome blog

  • You? Senile? I doubt it. Your thoughts are clearer than mine, and I'm half your age :)

  • Awwwwww, such a great video. It was cute!

  • You are so sweet. You remind me so much of my father. Thank you so much.

  • Grahamcooksie, while I do see your point, I don't think that there's really too much to worry about. It's really nothing more than an old man having a good laugh. As long as he realizes that the ET toy is just a toy, then there shouldn't be much to worry about. :P

  • i know thats the worrying thing for me, that ive watched all his videos and as a fellow englishman im extremely proud of the way his gentle talking manner has enthralled viewers all over the world but i just felt something instinctively 'wrong'inside me when i saw him holding up an ET action figure to the camera and sniggering about it in a devious manner. Just the vision of an old man playing with a childs doll just left a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps im over analysing again....
