Peru was where Paddington Bear came from. His name came from the Railway Station which was his final destination. Al used to be a History teacher before moving to comedy, a loss to the teaching profession.

Good Reaction, as usual, Guys.The "II8Der" Indian joke was that the Phone Line "118118" was the British Line that we called for general information based in Newcastle( called The Geordies) and they asked for too much money to continue their Government Contract and so the Business went to Indian, where they, probably, paid 1/10th of the price for the Indian people to give us general information. The Brits insult those they love the most*** and if we do not insult you on a personal or National basis then that is negative. lol( ***Obviously,The French being the exception to the rule.

The character that he plays is a pub landlord. As a kid in the 60's most all of the pub landlords would, especially as the night wore on and they'd had a few drinks, start lecturing the patrons on all manner of subjects and opinions. They seemed to love nothing more than having an audience. Often outrageous with their stories, more often wrong on facts, they were nevertheless highly entertaining. The following morning they'd be grumpy as the inevitable hangover kicked in. Almost all had a great love for king/queen and country and the armed forces, many of them were ex-servicemen. Often you'd see them wearing a blazer and tie in their regimental colours and with the badge sewn onto the breast pocket. The only difference between Al's character and the real life landlords of old is that Al knows what he is talking about, especially on history. Glad you enjoyed it, all his stand ups seem to be part comedy and part a lesson you didn't know you wanted to learn :D

you have to remember (or know f you have not been told) he is a character, its a role. He is playing the role of a Stereotype, who see's the world in Stereotypes. The Stereotype he is playing is a proud nationalistic type English dude that you tend to meet in Pubs in the UK (mainly England) that has a certain level of Education that is quite high, but is also somewhat warped by a totally overly patriotic lens so a lot of that factual information is warped into a Stereotype. The genius of it is, the more he takes the piss out of everyone else, he is in fact taking the piss out of the English, and there is another layer, because his character is a Stereotype he is also taking the piss out of the audience. So its like a 3 level irony thing, but full of observational wit. The character is full enough of fact to believe, but warped enough that its actually propaganda, if you break it down. I think some of the levels of this are even missed by some UK folks. To be fair its almost impossible to get all the jokes fully if you are not from the UK. You have to have encountered the people his character has borrowed from, and also understand that this is a stereotype of those guys which is both taking the piss out of those characters bit also the stereotype itself, even though its somewhat true. All the Stereotypes that Al utters, are also semi based in reality but also completely either over the top exaggerations, or faulty logic that is exposed when things are not just taken at face value. Finally there is a more direct commentary on Imperialist Britain, and its a double edge thing because it is a positive framing from the character, but a more negative framing by the performer. I am sure you have the same thing (just in a slightly different manifestation of it) in the US with people who are too patriotic, but know just enough fact to prop it up in a semi convincing package, but with further probing it falls apart. In a way South Park performs a similar function in the US , at least in regards to the angle it is viewing things through, basically several layers of irony, even if the way it does that is completely different.

I'm chuckling away at these two, both with a cluless smile on their faces as the point of the joke goes right over their heads. I appreciate that they don't understand the competitive infrastructural nature of the four British nations as it is historic and can be quite subtle, somewhat akin to American states, e.g. southern states, the billy-bobs of the south, as the Irish are to the English, hence, digging the roads. Actually the Irish were instrumental in helping to build the British infrastructure, i.e. roads, canels etc., known as navvy's. (navigators) large contigencies of Irish moved around the three countries, many settling perminently. The Irish are strong, brave, and likable people.

Not a silly question at all. But the answer is sadly...NO. I know the following was made for fun and the people shown were cherry picked for his tv show...but do a search on here for Jay Leno's clips on testing students and young people on the streets in America, he does one segment specifically about students and geography...again cherry picked so only showed the 'dunces'...but they were still students we are talking our version of college education level. Jay himself is stunned. I've no doubt a similar pop vox clips segment could be done with our students...lol. Have a look. I would argue many English students know the answers.

Hi. Al Murray (pronounced Murry) spends time before his shows talking to members of the audience, so he has an idea how far he can go when singling out people in the audience during the show. His character as the "Landlord" is a xenophobic bigot, this seems to be observational comedy. I love it. I believe he studied Modern history at Oxford, he has also made documentaries. I am lucky enough to have seen him live a couple of times

Al is a smart guy. So must know that Culloden was not Scots versus English. A large percentage of the troops who fought on the Government side were Scots.

That said Al is just doing his job as a British comedian. Ripping the piss.

118dia is a reference to company call centres, that you call if you have a problem. They used to be mostly in the UK and a lot of them were in the Newcastle area where 'Geordies' hail from. But as is always the case with companies these days, most call centres have been relocated to India on the grounds of cost. The upshot of this is that the line quality is poor making it difficult to hear and be heard, and you end up talking to someone whose first language isn't English, and who can't really understand the problem you've got and are trying to explain to them - resulting in getting zero satisfaction and a fraught stressful experience.

You didn't get the 118 India joke, (but why would you?). You would need to know that India has been used to outsource a lot of call centre work. When we phone large companies for customer service, we are often transferred to a call centre in India as it's cheaper to run it there than in England. 118 is a service that replaced our telephone directory enquiries, by dialling 118 118. A big TV campaign was made at the time, and the calls sent to India.

Get a grip, mate. Al is playing a character, a xenophobic British landlord, who we have all met, but most of us wish we hadn't. He's taking the piss out of the British. 1776 the end of the British Empire? Really??? REALLY??? FFS. The colonists were not taxed for profit, but to pay, only in part, for their defence against the French, who were hell bent on eradicating them and establishing their own colonies. Once the French had been seen off, the colonists decided not to contribute to the cost of their own defence. Charming. Funnily enough, after independence, which was won solely due to French intervention, America refused to recompense the French the huge amount they had spent as well. You must be so proud.

Sorry to say this (I gave this a like and I have subscribed) but can you - Nick - either lower your volume or increase that of the brilliant Al Murray because you are drowning out some of his best comments. I apologise if this comes across as rude but if folks can't hear the comedian, who's going to watch?

Don't worry Nic, most ordinary Americans DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE WORLD! That's because Americans think that THE USA IS THE WORLD, very sadly and your education system does nothing to correct this geographical error!😂😂
