American Reacts Blackadder Goes Forth | Episode 3 (PART 2)

[@steveyates7044]

Charlie Chaplin was English, born in London. Tarzan was published in 1912, and LBW is a cricketing term (leg before wicket).

[@j0hnf_uk]

He travelled over on the same ship to America as one Stan Laurel.

[@trytellingthetruth.2068]

and Chaplin ended up being buried in Switzerland.

[@stephendisraeli1143]

The slug is in the box. It must slightly resemble a stick of liquorice, which would be black. (Liquorice allsorts are a mixture of different shapes of liquorice)

[@astrafaan]

A towel on the head like that (for me at least) stops excess water running from the hair down my back, over my shoulders etc - it usually soaks it up pretty fast and can then be taken off.

[@Crow-T-German-Robot]

Only people with long hair can understand that. With a short hairstyle you can just shake it of.

[@astrafaan]

I do actually lean forward and shake my head from side to side to get rid of some excess - but I'd never let someone see me do it :D @@Crow-T-German-Robot

[@VelkanAngels]

Same here and it also keeps the wet hair out of my face, while I do the first part of my after-shower skincare routine. I use towel turbans at this point, though. I never did it when I had short hair, cause... what'd be the point, lol.

[@rosemarykennedy5430]

Wet hair on the back, especially if your hair is long, is very uncomfortable.

[@ClassicWorld19]

Yes, we need two towels. My hair is long and if I didn't wrap it in a towel, that would be several floors wet... Love your reactions, Connor! :D

[@TOYSTITCHER]

😂 Oh My Goodness ! ….I LOVE your reactions 😄 please “Don’t Ever Stop” 🤗👍✨

[@drachior]

guy with long hair here. scrubbing short hair with a towel is no biggie, but long hair will get tangled, frizzed and split with time. Hard to comb, style and quickly looks like a bird nest. If you let it airdry, a cold draft will quickly give you a headache or stiff neck. throwing a towel over solves it and keeps water from dripping down your neck. Also , sometimes you're just too lazy for the airdryer or want to spend the time with music/ watching a show as you chill. Why bob uses the towel- dunno. force of habit?

[@staygoldponyboy8881]

LBW is another cricket reference, stands for Leg Before Wicket. Buster Keaton was a silent movie actor, a contemporary of Chaplin. Welsh women are lovely🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 well, some of them.

[@rnw2739]

Indeed, some Welsh women resemble Eric Bristow and have an alarming tendency to defecate on pub pool tables when inebriated.

[@OspreyChick]

A towel wrapped around the head is very necessary. It absorbs water before you have to blow dry. Less hairdryer time, less damage to the hair and if you have long hair and don’t wrap your hair in a towel it just drips on you.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

AND I'd imagine would be kind of important when you're in a WWI trench with no bloody hairdryer nor electricity 😂

[@OspreyChick]

Even more necessary than in a 21st century bathroom

[@andrewmorton9327]

LBW - Leg before wicket. It's a cricket term. Graham the slug is in the box in the last joke.

[@keithwarnes2784]

W. G. Grace - another cricket reference. He was a member of the England team who had a full beard and moustache.

[@stirlingmoss4621]

Pay attention, Connor !

[@ozzy6668]

I can understand him not knowing some of the purely British references but Buster Keaton is American!

[@chrisofnottingham]

The hair towel is just to stop it dripping everywhere and also keep it out of your face. Ex long haired guy :-)

[@peterbiggin7193]

Buster Keaton was without doubt one of the best silent movie actors and a highly skilled director too. I'm amazed you never heard of him perhaps you should find a video about him. He did some crazy stunts with no safety nets or protection and actually broke his neck in one stunt.

[@McJibbin]

Here is part one if anyone missed it 😊 have a great day guys! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZe7oYFppN-IkLs

[@thatcanadianwhitetrashguy]

I've got a Cunning Plan The Box Set of Black Adder is Full of Extra Shows like the 1600's that They Missed in the Series Baldrick does a Scrapbook Post , You even get to See the Real Queen Liz Ignore Baldrick when She Met the Shows Crew , Super Snotty B .

[@philipriley2253]

LBW, cricket reference, a way to get out. Leg Before Wicket..

[@Lones555]

We call cinnamon rolls: cinnamon rolls. A sticky bun is a hot dog bun with icing (frosting) on and yes they are as bland as they sound, just a cheap treat to keep toddlers from crying.

[@piggypiggypig1746]

Hey! Don’t dis the sticky bun. They’re delicious. Nothing like a hot dog bun. Pfff

[@Paxo469]

The LBW thing is a term used in cricket when a batsmen is given out by the umpire , it stands for Leg Before Wicket,

[@OspreyChick]

Sticky buns don’t have cinnamon. It’s a sweet roll with white icing

[@birtybonkers8918]

Of course, another underlying joke for this episode is that Stephen Fry is openly gay. Although he always said that he never felt any real attraction to Hugh throughout their comedy partnership.

[@johnpurvis1276]

Buster keaton a very funny silent movie star

[@JelmerStienstra]

So fun watching this again 😂 Have you ever tried watching The Young Ones or Bottom?

[@ianfranks5611]

LBW is a cricket term , bowled out , leg before wicket, thanks for covering this great comedy series, look forward to watching more, 👍

[@Forestfalcon1]

Towel on the head stops water from dripping down their back and shoulders..

[@Paxo469]

Hi;. the last joke was Captain Blackadder was offering Captain Darling a slug, trying to fool him by pretending it to be a licorice allsort, because Baldrick was doing a slug balancing act '

[@ginettechiverton7113]

Blackadder is full of very crude jokes, but it's still Hilarious. Very well written. 🇬🇧😊

[@ginettechiverton7113]

George wasn't disappointed with Melchets remark, he was Relieved.

[@mairiconnell6282]

Buster Keaton was one of America's best silent actors. He did the most amazing stunts. Hair in a towel lets one put on make up before drying.

[@carolinejohnson22]

The slug's in the box! 😅😅

[@valeriedavidson2785]

LBW stands for leg before wicket in cricket.

[@robertlisternicholls]

LBW. Leg before wicket. A way of a batsman being dismissed in cricket.

[@chrissmith8773]

To equate ‘changes to the LBW rule’ to American, read ‘changes to the in-field fly rule"

[@j0hnf_uk]

Women, traditionally, have long hair, so wrapping a towel around their heads helps to absorb the water within wet hair much faster than trying to dry it by rubbing, like us short haired men do! 😁 GW Grace was an English cricketer, (arguably the best ever), who had a huge bushy beard. The least feminine looking person you can imagine.

[@livb6945]

Yes, there's a reason for the hair towel. And not everyone uses a hair dryer - noone I know does. The towel absorbs more water so it doesn't drip from my hair while it dries naturally. Hair dryers ruin the hair and creates static electricity

[@katetorode8411]

A. Stops ur long hair dripping down n soaking other towel. B. Does half the towel drying for u. C. Keps ur head war. Lol for those of us who don't blow dry n have very long hair trust it does most of the work for u lol

[@angharaddenby3389]

To explain that last joke. Baldrick put his 'slug' in that box. Slugs (some of the smaller ones) look like the plain liquorice allsorts. Search for these and you will understand. Maybe.

[@rnw2739]

It's sometimes like watching a simpleton do a Rubik's Cube. How can you not have heard of Buster Keaton? Or think Charlie Chaplin was American?

[@abenormal9075]

Good reaction well done

[@darthdmc]

Looking forward to his reaction for episode 4, with the scene-stealing Lord Flashheart. WOOF!

[@katetorode8411]

The slugs in the tin

[@daniel-leejones8396]

"Was that not even a joke" lol mate.

[@daniel-leejones8396]

Concentrate with Blackadder the final laugh, Is built-up all the way through

[@philshorten3221]

"The Americans joined the war this morning" "Well I don't see how that will boost moral" 😂😂😂

[@Paxo469]

A licorice all sort is a type of sweet/Candy

[@alanreynolds4944]

LBW - a cricket term - leg before wicket.

[@OspreyChick]

Today is Guy Fawkes day in the UK

[@claudiavictoria3929]

13:19 would you walk around your house with a wet rug on your head?

[@siavfc5339]

Did you get the last turkey in the shop gag yet?

[@mermaidman1985]

L.B.W. is a method of getting out in Cricket.

[@thepoliticalhousethatjackbuilt]

That's the funniest thing, how to confuse an American, mention the LBW rule! 🤣. ( LBW, Leg before wicket, a somewhat complex rule on getting out in cricket)

[@sammyk493]

It keeps the wet hair from leaking down our backs

[@birtybonkers8918]

Lbw is considered to be a complicated rule of cricket.

[@simontomlinson6484]

Baldricks slug is in the box

[@alanreynolds4944]

The slug was in the box

[@garyballared2077]

the slug

[@jaccilowe3842]

You seemed very distracted, Connor; watch it again with all the references explained.

[@helenwood8482]

On the towel thing, it is necessary for long or thick female hair.

[@stevehartley7504]

Licorice was the Slug!!!!!

[@LoneRanger100]

Why dyou want wet hair dripping down your neck? Short or long hair, a towel is always vital!

[@QueeferSutherland1]

"Who's Buster Keaton"....there's your next video.

[@rnw2739]

Clearly with the title, "Lobotomy patient learns about 20th century figures of interest"

[@stevehartley7504]

LBW a rule in Cricket

[@martynadams2011]

You’re actually getting worse…. And I didn’t think that was possible !

[@stephenhumphrey7935]

True. Pretty much unwatchable now. 🤐🤐

[@ginettechiverton7113]

Women had to use towels to dry their hair, they didn't have what we have now. 🇬🇧

[@smithpm81]

lbw leg before wicket, cricket term

[@OspreyChick]

I’m Welsh

[@rnw2739]

According to most mongs in these comments, you're British. They don't appear to have ever heard of England, Scotland or Wales.

[@OspreyChick]

My reply was because Melchor asked about Georgina, “She’s not Welsh, is she? I am and don’t know how many times I’ve had to explain that Wales is not a part of England.

[@andrewsutcliffe4889]

Did you actually go to school Connor ?

[@angharaddenby3389]

He probably did but it is widely known that American schools rarely if ever teach any history from OUTSIDE the US. That might be why he does not understand most of the references.

[@rnw2739]

​@@angharaddenby3389They must also have the disturbing tendency to claim anyone of interest, was American - How he thought Chaplin was is unbelievable.

[@bexbugoutsurvivor]

Bob turned out to be a girl in the end, Who da funk it...!

[@enemde3025]

PRIVET hedge not PRIVATE hedge ! American subtitles are rubbish ! LBW. Leg Before Wicket. It's a cricket term for when the ball hits your leg pads . "The last turkey in the shop" is a saying about your dangling cock and balls. Buster Keaton was a very famous silent film star from America.

[@simontomlinson6484]
