Al Murray - GOD Is British REACTION (And Why It Matters)

[@ianp1986]

Son and Pops are just terms of endearment here 🙂 Same as calling someone love

[@ziggythedrummer]

In the USA too, though not as common. Remember Steve Rogers saying "son, just don't" to the SHIELD Tech in Avengers (2012)?

Son, pops, love, darlin', me duck, sweetheart, governor, squire, mate..... There's a myriad of terms of endearment used in the UK, often very regional.

[@mindurbusiness-b3u]

[@EnigmaTimGaming]

Neither Al's son or father were in the audience. Well, they may have been but were not on camera. The Pub Landlord would call anyone under 25, son and over 60, pops.

[@pomerau]

Yeh. He uses Squire a lot too, which is older term for any "gent". "The point is this... " on repeat is often not understood on other channels too.

[@phoenixstave]

Yep Al refers to his dad as the colonel.

[@pomerau]

@@phoenixstave I had wanted to correct myself. Squire is more like Sire or Sir rather than Gent, as in when you were addressing someone, but is now used in a different or sometimes mocking tone... meaning.... no I still can't describe it. British people will know 🙃

[@helenwood8482]

Son is a British term for any younger man and pops is for any older man.

[@tinotreloar8251]

Or to provoke a man of a similar age 😉

[@trailerman2]

He has a phenomenal memory and talks to audience members, gets names and what they do, then addresses them throughout the 'show'...... he is so clever. They were not family members.

Al Murray is brilliant.

[@aidiess]

He is a product of one of the top Universities in the UK- so he's no slouch academically !

[@NickNick-tp5cr]

Oxford no less.

[@RedactedATS]

I saw Al Murray live a few years ago, it's an insane set. His pub landlord persona is still really popular here and maybe even gaining a little traction again, given current political climate. Al Murray is a top bloke, a British national treasure and overall legend.

[@menkydoo]

Thomas didn't believe that it was Jesus after the resurrection, until he was allowed to feel the holes in his hands. So a person who doesn't believe was known colloquially as a "doubting Thomas" - hence why Thomas doesn't believe the bill!

[@shelbynamels7948]

and guess just why Judas is flush

[@Steve-nu4sv]

These are all original material he has a theme in mind and then just goes with the flow according to audience response. A very intelligent man with an awesome mind. As someone pointed out he has a keen interest in military history. He did a short series fot TV where he accompanied a team of historians and archaeologists visited world war 1 battle sites and uncovered relics. Uniform buttons, military kit, munitions and in one episode bits of a British bi plane. Al brought history to life with understanding and compassion.

[@seanmc1351]

guys what you dont see by doing clips, al first part of the show, is the front row audience, thats how he knows there names, makes fun on, like the older guy pop's, or the young ones, he gets to know them, then adds them into his show, genius if you ask me,

[@RNTV]

I get that. If we react to an entire show the chances of it getting taken down due to copyright infringement are near 100%. We also would only be able to swing 1 reaction per week at that point

I think they is a few clips around that just show the first part of his shows. Definitely worth a look

[@necessaryevil3428]

You don't have to post a reaction to it..... just watch a few full shows together to understand his interactions with the audience ​@@RNTV

[@Shoomer1988]

He does a lot of talking to people in the audience, he gets their names and often comes back to them for a joke later on in the show. Although he does have a sort of routine he uses a load of improvisation using the crowd.

You can really tell the only folk who really understands British Humour is indeed the British..But you are learning.

[@CagedPaps]

There's a lot say son is affectionate but like most things in Britain it depends on the context. Son used to be a lot more common, so it's used to mock people at times. "Get in there, my son" - can be your friend doing something like pulling a girl or scoring a goal. But a pig (police) might say "You're nicked, my old son". That's pretty old school, but context is king. Here it's to denote just a younger male, the most American way I can think of is 'sport' or 'buddy'.

[@ratatat9790]

This is Al Murray being diplomatic... I was brought up knowing that God is _English_ and it wasn't a matter of belief, it was knowledge, pure and simple. Of course my Scottish brother-in-law argued against it but he chose to live in England most of his life so I rest my case. 😁

If we're having a discussion, and I'm at a loss for argument, I might say "Listen son!" That's supposed to put you down a bit. Then you say "Well, you listen Pops!" That's the context. It's not polite, but we use it in banter situations - for a laugh. No fists will fly.

[@alistairbolden6340]

Son is a totally normal name for any man or boy younger than yourself, I'm 38 and a women in her 50s or 60s said: excuse me son do you got a light'' just the other day while I was out shopping. Its used more towards the north of England than anywhere else.
