To be perfectly honest you're right about the self deprecation, that's a large part of British humour I think, and maybe even our psyche, but I don't think it's self belief that he's actually doing here, he's mimicking nationalists by making statements that big up us Brits, that at face value make sense, like not going to the moon, that on more inspection are just stupid throwaway comments. Don't get me wrong we're on the whole proud of our country, though can admit we have made mistakes throughout history, and have (well until recently at least) been working to make the world a better place (and again have made mistakes along the way even then, but I'd like to think our heart is in the right place). It's a very clever routine and very funny. Everyone in the UK will know what a pub landlord is and how they are, they're often very knowledgeable people, and he plays the role perfectly!!!

And you’re right he does pull this character off brilliantly. He’s taking the piss out of Brits whilst simultaneously taking the piss out of foreigners! He’s playing an archetypal British pub landlord; brash, loud, opinionated, nationalistic, confident of his own traditional and stereotypical views. Yet he does it with great humour and no malice, just for laughs. Very clever geezer ;-)

In America I think geezer usually means a much older man, but in the UK it's an adult male of any age. Just another word for "bloke". I suppose an American equivalent would be "guy" or even "dude".

Most important thing you need to know is that Al Murray is a very nice, charming, erudite and intellectual guy. The 'Pub Landlord' is a character, a caricature of every loutish, 'laddish' boisterous, Englishman, far removed from Murray's real persona. Which makes him all the more funny and his charater a work of genius.

Like most countries, the people from the UK are really the best ones to know our own failings, so while we'd kick off at anyone else who criticised us, we also take the piss out of ourselves best. In some cases the same subject is a source of pride AND embarrassment at the same time.

The self-deprecation thing reminded me of a joke that...well, I enjoyed anyway: "We Brits are a very self-deprecating people. Only here can someone write Crap Towns, and so many people complain their town wasn't in it they had to write Crap Towns 2"

The Urban Dictionary suggests this, although I am not sure Barry White is really involved! “A geezer is a descriptive word in the UK which is used to define a mans characteristics. A geezer will be found usually out side a pub with a pint in his hand on match day. They commonly like football, scrapping, beer, tea, tits, and Barry white. Geezers often acknowledge other geezers by a greeting each other by saying geezer followed by a nod and a thumbs up.”

Glad you enjoyed Al Murray. You mentioned Ken Dodd was one of the late great comedians of the variety era and his unique style of humour involved many jokes, props and comedic story telling. He was from a place in Liverpool called Knotty Ash and he invented characters called 'The Diddy Men' who came from Knotty Ash and worked in the Jam Butty mines (Butty is another word for a sandwich). It's sort of madcap humour, some colourful costumes and props, his trademark hair and teeth, sometimes he would sing or do ventriloquism. His theatre shows went on for hours and he used to say don't book a taxi as you are more likely to go home on the back of the milk float the next morning as his show went on way beyond ! He had a lovely way of describing laughter being like a rainbow if you can find it on You Tube and he would say not to forget to keep your 'chuckle muscles' exercised as in laugh daily and spread happiness. He was still performing his shows up until the age of 90, but passed away not long after he turned 90 in 2018.

Ken Dodd in his day was head and shoulders above 99% of British comics. He worked harder by travelling to all theatres and his shows were renowned for their length. More material more content more laughs. Unfortunately his material is strictly coloquial British for British audiences. It will not cross the pond to the USA . More laughs in minute than any other comedian. His repatuiire was vast and honed over 60 years. Do you know any other comedian who can do 3 to 4 hour shows .

Really enjoy your channel, and its great to see someone who is genuinely learning about British history and culture and not taking offence . Virtually everything is said in fun and there is a large degree of self deprecation in the jokes . Best wishes from the U.K. 🇬🇧

I’ve always loved Billy Connelly’s sense of humour. Now Sir Billy Connelly. He swears a lot but many years ago said that having grown up in Glasgow and been a welder in the shipyards he sounds pretentious if he doesn’t, and that its just part of the rhyme and rhythm of the language rather than offensive. The late Bill Hicks was popular in the UK and it was good to hear an American comedian attacking us because he liked us.

I'm so glad you get the humour, and the character, and are not offended. Brits laugh at his stereotype too. And Al Murray is so clever.

I think the suggestion that America is working for us is really that you are looking after us and that is hard work. He is on stage as a pub landlord who drinks. Maybe the audience is placed with the question. It is obviously rehearsed. He is clearly not daft. As a young lad in the early '50's I was impressed by the Empire. Now at 80 I am still impressed. Collecting possessions was a European hobby and it was a thing. The UK did very well. Times have changed, thankfully. I appreciate your intelligent and perceptive questions. Keep at it. Thank you.

Misheard Lyrics, by comedian Peter Kay - his series "Phoenix Nights" is well worth a look - it's set in a North of England (Bolton) working mans club & is definitely worth a try!

With a History degree from Oxford, he's an academic, he is mainly having a go at the little Englander mentality, also our self depreciating humour, we really do not take ourselves seriously, throw in sarcasm, irony and a very dry delivery we are a nightmare for Americans who have no idea if we are being serious or not... then there is our tendency to understate almost every thing, especially the really serious stuff... you need to view Russell Howard an excellent comedian

One other word which I think is different between UK and US which he mentioned is "pissed." In the USA it means 'angry or really annoyed' whereas in the UK it means 'drunk' but, of course, if we say 'pissed off' we mean 'angry or really annoyed'. However we may also say "he's taking the piss" which if used mildly means making fun of, joking, teasing, BUT if used with angry it means something really unacceptable or considered completely outrageous. One "geezer" I think you would enjoy is Micky Flanagan who started out in the East End of London but later on got himself an education and eventually became a self-confessed 'middle-class'. Great stand-up. He's got lots of stuff online for instance: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZpN3zc5mh9W6nso.html

Finally (after Eclectic Beard) comes an american who is prepared to learn about British Humour....Welcome

Here in Scotland, our use of what you would call "the c word" is par for the course. It can be offensive, it can be general and it can be a term of endearment for family and friends. So funny when overseas friends try to understand our patter. I like your channel, keep up the good work lassie. Be well.

A monologue I once heard, from a comedian who's name escapes me, described the difference between forming friendships in America and in Britain. He used the analogy of a beach landing, saying that in the British process the day was overcast and raining, the sea was rough, the shore was rocky, it was an uphill slog, through wet sand that was more like gravel, and then up dunes covered in thorny plants, but, if you kept going, you eventually arrived at the top where green and pleasant meadows awaited. By contrast, American friendship was much easier, he said. The day was warm and sunny, the sea was calm, the beach was gently sloping golden sand, an easy level path led you along between gently waving palm trees... right up to the bottom of a 300ft vertical cliff. An interesting observation I thought.

He was kind to us jocks 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We take the mickey out of EVERYTHING, whatever it may be, including ourselves. Americans can often be easily offended but it is all meant in jest. Geezer is a term really coming from the east end of London and the cockneys. It probably best describes a regular working class bloke who is one of the lads. I am sure you can understand the pride Al Murray has in our achievements through history.

He's deeply ironic. When he says 'hot and spicy foods and Olympic quality athletes' he means food from India one, if not the number one, favourite take away food in UK(similar to Mexican in US); a lot of UK athletes, especially track and field, are black whose parents/ grandparents came from commonwealth (old empire) countries in the past 70 years or so.

Al Murray is related to the Victorian novelist Thackeray, author of Vanity Fair. He and Bill Bailey are are seriously funny.

Great to see the views of an American. I think the British sense of humour can be lost on many Americans, but great to see that you're getting to grips with the irony & subtlety of it. Al Murray is a history expert, a very intelligent & funny bloke (guy :-) - If you like subtle British humour, there're two or three great series' called "An Idiot Abroad" with a bloke called Karl Pilkington - Comedy gold. He never laughs & spends his entire time whinging about his circumstances. Look it up, you'll love it for it's British humour. - Great video by the way!

A geezer is a guy with an edge. He is one of the guys. He might be a showboat or a funny character. He might have slightly illegal traits that generally wouldn’t hurt or impact others. He was a bit naughty at school but everyone liked him because of his cheekiness. Everyone likes him now down the pub because he is a proper geezer!

Voted the funniest British comedy sketch of all time is "4 candles by the Two Ronnies" . It's Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker at their best. Both now passed away but this sketch has gained legendary status amongst the British public. A sketch that has the same sort of legendary status amongst Germans is actually a short British film from about 1960'ish called "Dinner for One". It's a film that gets rolled out every New Year's Eve on all German terrestrial TV stations, a huge percentage of the German population know the script by heart but still tune in to watch it with the family as part of the New Year's Eve celebrations, or to use the German language, the evening is known as "Silvester" or Silvesterabend to be more precise, but its usually referred to as just Silvester.

Hi SoGal, Love your postings by the way. A geezer is definitely a person or a bloke, but geezer goes back even further. It comes from the old cockney saying “whose the ice cream “ & where do you keep ice cream to stop it melting? In a freezer & what rhymes with freezer, you got it….. geezer.

Geezer is just a bloke and well done for not taking Al seriously, its all just for laughs :-)

Geezer=bloke,guy,not really an insult,but almost a friendly term.

I'd like to recommend that you check out Rhod Gilbert. He has some great routines - "Luggage", "Shower gels", Electric toothbrushes", and "Rhod Gilbert visits Red Hen restaurant" are particularly good and are all on KZread.

‘Anger Management’ or ‘The Baked Potato’

Your getting our humour.well done. 😂😂😂😁😘

He's been doing that act a long time, but he keeps coming up with new material. When I first saw him on television he imitated machine noises, but then he developed his pub landlord act.

Well done. Subscribed 👍 Really liked watching this listening to your thoughts on Al Murray. Other quintessential British people or shows of note you may enjoy? Ronnie Barker was a genius. He had many TV shows over the years. My personal favourite was porridge about life in prison also his four candles/fork handles sketch was legendary 😂 Dads army was another long running TV show from the 60’s superbly written with a great cast, dry wit and comic genius. A bit like the Beverly hillbillies! Let us know what you think!

A period over here is the menstrual cycle for a woman. The play on words makes sense when you understand the British definition. Full stop takes on two meanings too.

@impishDCfan85 85 invented? It evolved over time... Nobody sat down and created it... By definition english in england is correct, but dialects and colloquialisms vary the language enough for a great many countries... Not to mention in England itself, where are you pointing to as the home of "English" ?

@impishDCfan85 85 You really don't understand at all do you? Thinking in such absolutes is childish and dogmatic. Especially saying only Americans talk differently, you either don't travel yourself or a child unaware of their innocent ignorance.

I watched you watching Al Murray vs. Americans......,...seen it but friends viewed me watching your reactions....,......pleased you like him.,.,....,be safe.,........London,,...,27/8/2022.....…..

Geezer is used as a slang term for a man. ‘Some geezer was here earlier’ or ‘He’s an alright geezer’ I believe it’s used more commonly in London but we use it a lot down south

Hilarious stuff....suggest Dave Allen much loved Irishman RIP...Keep up with the great work that you do, best wishes from the wirral...E

Dave Allen was a genius and his work still stands the test of time, especially his monologues from the 1990s.

Dave Allen, is hilarious, checkout his 'teaching kids to tell time' vid.

good reaction.ihope the new doggy is behaving himself.more videoes soon please.best wishes Stephen.

Really enjoyed watching this. Peter Kay is the comedian who did the Misheard Lyrics segment. Other good british comedians to try: Frankie Boyle, Lee Evans, Milton Jones, Gary Delaney.

Re British Comedians: I recommend Catherine Tate: The Offensive Translator.

This is not my sandwich.

If you can understand her crazy North Eastern accent, Sarah Millican is a good comedienne!

Not only does he pull pints at the bar, he also drives it around on the stage!

I love your hair BTW ❤️
