Micky Flanagan - Rags to Riches Reaction

[@jakemorrison8507]

Karl mentions council estates regularly, and the characters that came from them like the woman who kept the horse in the front room

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Did they call it something different on the Ricky Gervais show ?? I don't remember ever hearing the term .

[@jakemorrison8507]

@@AfterWorkReactions no there's been a couple times he's mentioned it already I think so I assumed youd already heard the term haha

[@-b8683]

After Work Reactions he normally just calls it the estate ahaha

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Thanks folks appreciate you all explaining .Whenever hear someone say estate I just assume they mean their property. I probably thought he meant his house and land lol . I think I remember him saying estate when he was talking about the lady with a horse .

[@lukastargazer3089]

@@AfterWorkReactions A council estate would be like the british version of "the projects"

[@A-l-p-h-a]

The world would be a happier place if everyone had a friend like Josh.

[@christophersmith3494]

Certainly would. We need more laughter in the world right now. 😔

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Thanks that means a lot I really appreciate it .

[@detectivejohnkimble5675]

AlphaFTW We do. It’s Josh.

[@JW-yt7lr]

At last , an American who gets British humor . It's a joy to see you enjoy Micky Flanagan . You would be so welcome in Britain

[@elbecko7969]

I agree! He's an honorary Brit

[@markp1081]

He might get it more if you spell humour the British way though.

[@-Tidgy]

@@markp1081 it's not the British way, it's the right way, the only way. We can't just change words and then say we speak a different 'sort' of English... American English is not English.

[@KissMyFatAxe]

He's a Brit at heart 😂

[@calzonie5763]

Do you actually care about Americans opinions on British shows cause I just like the reaction as it feel like you’re not watching it on ya own and sharing the laughs 🤣

[@arsenalmanic]

Its fantastic that a British term/word that you may not be familiar with, that you paused and researched it. I wish everybody did that, instead of letting it go by or asking someone to leave it in the comments section, when it takes only matter of 10-20 seconds to google it.

[@Lynxchillin08]

YES !!! It literally takes a second and they're AT the computer ! It seems such a small thing but I'm really glad he just did it. People always don't do shit because of negative comments they might get.

[@wertrocks123]

Yes 100%! It made the video so much better for him when he understood the joke! See how much he was laughing at the end!

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Thanks folks appreciate the pause support. I didn't know how well this would go over with everyone .

[@IntoTheWhite04]

Agree. Not letting things go over your head means you "get it". This is a great channel for reactions. It's my guilty pleasure. Probably because I like making playlists and recommending stuff to mates. I like seeing an American get British comedy

[@Paradiselost316]

After Work Reactions yeah no problem, better like that - correct me if I’m wrong but I think council estate = projects. Even if it did take a while to research some of the terminology/references you can always cut part of it if it goes too long anyway. Edit : just realised you worked that out about a minute after typing this

[@scottlp2323]

Your mum did a great job. You're a good guy. That laugh is like medicine. :)

[@stevious7278]

Josh, I can appreciate just how difficult it must have been for your mum and family growing up. I am Australian, and like the UK we have a universal welfare system, unlike the US. It must have been extremely difficult for your mother to raise a family without much government support. To raise a man such as yourself, positive, with a good sense of humour and the BEST laugh; not bitter and cynical, is a testament to your mother. I would hope you are as proud of her as she must be of you. There is another guy, Jamal, who does reaction videos (music) and he had a similarly tough upbringing as your good self. And like yourself, he brings the light of positivity and the love of humanity to those of us across the world. Such good men. You inspire and show what being a true man is. peace out.

[@thisthingsibelief4791]

I liked listening to you talk about your family and childhood. Sounds like your mum was a hard working lady.

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Thanks I appreciate that yeah she is awesome she has always worked so hard to make sure we had roof over our head and food in our stomachs

[@rorymcnicholas5938]

How is this not the top reaction channel on KZbin!? Every time josh pauses he has interesting little stories or insight, he even took the time to learn what a council was. Unlike other reaction channels that pause and talk about absolutely nothing. Keep going dude, love your content

[@helenwood8482]

I have always said that being poor for a while in my childhood was good for me. It does teach you to appreciate what you have. When I was very small, I thought we were rich, because we always had wonderful Christmas presents (mostly homemade). I overheard my parents talking about money one day and I said, "Daddy, are we poor?" and he said, "No, we just don't have much money, but we have each other."

[@christophersmith3494]

[@youngyoungmcgurn5088]

I love your videos, not just for the reactions, but for your commentary afterwards, especially when it's interesting stuff like this. Explaining things like "hood eye", and what's behind it, is fascinating. In this regard, you're following a great tradition of American discourse of social history of everyday life and people, like Studs Terkel.

I was brought up in a Council house from 1976-1985 until my Dad started his own business. Both my parents worked their bollocks off, and our home was always neat, clean and tidy and we ate the best food they could afford to buy! However, we were the last people on the estate to have a colour TV......

I had friends who lived in council houses and I was jealous sometimes because they had full baths with lots of bubble bath in them . But at home I was only allowed to have a bath with five inches of water in it . ☹ Their bathrooms were always warm .With the transistor radio on loud by the side of the bath , and towels all over the floor . Our bathroom was cold , and the one towel in there had to be folded neatly after use . No fun . Hence, I wanted to live in my friends council house . Good on ya Micky !!

I think the 2 main Micky Flanagan sets that I’d love for you guys to check out is ‘stealing’ and his ‘going out out’ bit which was the main introduction for most people to him and it became a sort of catchphrase people adopted into regular conversation

[@fifimsp]

I agree. I was raised on welfare and my friend Marlon and I were in the back of my mother's car once talking about how embarrassing it is. My mom was like, "oh, doesn't bother me." At the same time both of us said, "you don't have to go to school." We began talking about being teased. I now have a nice house and great income and I still panic about money to this day. Like I don't think there's ever going to be enough to make me not panic. I'm starting to chill a little but at the same time, everything I can have that I didn't have as a kid I appreciate and love that I can have things I didn't have as a kid.

We were called the rich family on our estate. Our house was nice had a colour TV, dad had a car, but we were still poor. I became best friends with a boy from the poorest family. I could not understand when my parents would not let him come to my birthday party. Apparently he had lice, I never noticed. I was so upset and couldn't see any reason for him to not come or for us to not be friends. 😥😥

Mate, I know just what you're talking about with the 'hood mentality. I've got a lot of nice stuff. Expensive music production gear, nice musical instruments. The last thing I want is for people to know what I have and where I live. I remember absently telling my weed dealer that I produce music, then getting super-paranoid afterwards while high. That birthday I got my Dad to buy me contents insurance instead of a present. Even then - the thought of losing my hard-drives with all of my music, song ideas, project files. Actually, my brother-in-law, also a music producer, had an article about himself in the local newspaper. Pictured with his gear. The very next day after the paper came out he was robbed. Gotta be careful!!
