Al Murray vs Americans (Reaction)

[@r.c.c.3871]

As an American, with lots of Scots, Welsh, and some English relatives, I can say with great certitude that the best of British comedy is flatly offensive at a number of levels-by design. If it doesn't kick a sacred cow, trample over some tradition, and involve some serious word play, then it isn't good British comedy. Love it!

[@MrDaiseymay]

Exactly! You nailed it. A big part of British humour is poking fun at ourselves, which this character is all about. But he uses the nature of the character to poke fun at just about everybody else too. It's a cleverly created double-edged sword which many don't recognise.

If you watch the full act the God save the queen part, the guy was a musician, pianist I believe and he'd had some banter with him earlier.

There was a comedian in the sixties and seventies in Britain called Warren Mitchell who played a character called Alf Garnett who was a patriotic British racist.

The front row and a few other people like Neil, or someone who got up to take a leak, are half of his act. He's a very smart guy, I was amazed at the end of the show when he thanked everyone by name, the entire front row ,half the second row and a few others.

[@SimonJM]

Seen this clip before, but the delight in watching it was multiplied by the sheer exuberance and fun you displayed. Offence is subjective in many ways and, often, the offence is with the viewer: the comedian (in this case) does not cause offence, the viewer takes offence. That said, there are some comedians that I find offensive from time to time and those are usually the ones who toss out various -phobic and -ist slurs in a deliberate attempt to create a shock. You seem to have captured the essence of the act (emphasis on the word 'act') where he mocks all and sundry, but especially himself and his nation and manages to squeeze a few thought provoking comments in amidst the laughs.

As a 5 year old kid living in St.Andrews, Scotland, I was only taught 'God Save The Queen' at School because we were required to sing it at the School Coronation party for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

He also does it with inciteful wit and humour, that is soaked with the subtle British art of "taking the piss", while on the surface spouting the obvious nonesense that you can here in most British pubs.

🙃 Sorry I hate doing an addendum to a subject I have already spoke on. But... Every thing Murray had fun with, I knew. I don't know how school study is done now. But also back then, it was drilled into our heads or you did not move on to the next grade. And that was supported by our parents. Many nights 3am still at the table being asked by my Mom, questions on the subject. I hated it. But guess what? I did not know that way down the road I would use all that so called crap subjects in my many travels around the world with the jobs and firms I have worked of as an engineer. I am retired now and blessed I am still around to witness the sad change in education. You my friend are not the norm. Your that kid living outside the box and loving the journey. Thank You.

This is one of Al's best, love watching it, again and again, but you just gave the best reaction i've ever seen, its my first time watching you, so not sure what you've already reacted to, so i recommend Mock the Week, specifically, scenes we'd like to see Also Gun Control pts 1&2 by Jim Jefferies....I've hit the like button and subscribed so i can see that awesome smile, that literally lights up your face

I'm not trying to be misogynist here. But your eyes are hypnotic. Your thirst for knowledge is addictive and your measured persona is incredibly charming. Thank you :)
