American Reacts to Outnumbered (#2)

[@jasondrury8301]

The good thing about outnumbered is the kids weren’t given a script, so what they say is natural, can’t think of another show which done this

[@frglee]

Yep, it was clever, only partially scripted with a lot of improvisation (and lots of takes and editing, perhaps?). As the kids grew up over the years they kind of kept it in a bit, though I suppose they didn't have to. It kind of seems more real with the children being 'random' like this and the adults reacting to their peculiar logic. It makes for a unique show, for sure.

[@raeburnoliver6334]

The same writers made a film from the same idea of letting kids improvise, it's called "What We Did On Our Holiday" and I'd recommend it, very funny and charming

[@katyyyy123]

@@raeburnoliver6334 is that the one when the grandpa died and they made a raft and put him on it then he floated out to sea

[@petenone74]

Yeah

[@Thisistrulyoddtv_Mark]

The kids where scripted but only partially scripted Jakes was more scripted than the other kids as he’s older and he could do longer on Set since older I watched a behind the scenes episode once also because this episode the kids have got to be scripted since the boy says about red striped larger and other stuff that he wouldn’t know about unless scripted and Jake was obviously scripted by how he knew to get the phone and the conversation to hold when he was talking to the grandad who had phoned up and Ben saying about Aunty Angela and how the mum turns creepy when Aunty Angela turns up so as previously said some of the kids stuff is actually scripted

[@cathy446]

Fun fact, the actors who play the parents were both married to different people when they filmed the series. Years after the series ended they divorced their wife/husband and are now actually together in real life!

[@Isleofskye]

They make a good couple....

[@Thisistrulyoddtv_Mark]

Yeah they got together in 2017 so it was years after but strange too since I wouldn’t think I get on with my work colleagues so let’s get together as partners

[@bill4665]

Tbh as a kid who's British and goes to secondary school, the whole badger thing is pretty realistic but either way nice video I enjoyed

It was certainly possible at my school 😆 was as rough as a dog's arse 😂

In my school one day we found a dead pigeon and hid it in a a teachers bag. She reached in and pulled it out and started screaming and was off school for a few months. We were right little bastards 😂

Oh definitely, one of the kids in my school got chased around the building by police after assaulting a teacher. They also created a fighting arena made of two goal posts to have organised battles. Most people do drugs. The badger thing seems almost normal.

As a Muslim myself, I gotta say that Ramadan joke was hilarious and something I used to say as well after I first watched this episode lol.

[@fisovideos]

What I love about how they filmed these early episodes is everything happens in 3 rooms. There was one shot of Hugh Dennis coming home but the rest was all in the house. So simple, but so effective!

[@khalilquarless]

Outnumbered is one of the most underrated British comedies!

Karen is adorable and also by far the smartest, often smarter than her parents.

That phone is NEVER where it should be....a lot like at my house 🤣

[@jennil7797]

As a British teacher, the telling the kid to tell grandpa he lives with him makes me laugh - school places are allocated by proximity and pretending kids live close to what is thought of as 'the better school' when they don't, is a regular scam. Mmm, with Covid, sending your children off to ANY school just now is a parental dream, LOL.

[@izzyoldham9792]

I LOVE the outnumbered reactions ! True British gem!

[@hyphz]

The thing about "tax fraud" - it's not tax fraud, what he's talking about is that in the UK, which state school you go to is determined by where you live. If a school is full then the priority goes to people living nearer the school, and this can go right down to even adjacent streets going to different schools. The problem is that state schools are very different in quality, so he's talking about claiming Jake lives with his grandfather so he can go to a better secondary school which is nearer his Grandad's house.

[@nonautomaton6230]

Oh yes, the second Outnumbered reaction - What a great way to start the day!

[@johngilmore697]

[@SandDancerHellie]

The girl who plays Karen was discovered at a dinner party lol Did you know the whole show was ad libbed.? The children were told what the scene was about then they went into the room. Adults had little or no idea. Genius.

[@chesterlester5770]

The point of this show is to represent a classic British family. Brilliant and sooo relatable for us brits 😃

[@johnloony68]

I think Karen must have grown up to be a ruthless barrister asking awkward questions cross-examining people in court.

[@raphaelperry8159]

You've got to love Andy Hamilton's comedy writing.

[@raphaelperry8159]

Although some of the scenes with the children were improvised.

[@frglee]

The genius of this idea is in some of the stuff he didn't write, oddly enough.

[@jen6879]

@@raphaelperry8159 Andy & Guy would sit down with the kids and go through the gist of each scene but then let the kids run with it! Great idea & no school play acting 👍🏻

Ben is like my older sister when we were kids. She would tell our Mum she doesn't eat something and it changed every week.

The first series was 6 episodes but aired over 3 consecutive nights for 2 weeks. Very unorthodox for the time. It's crazy seeing Karen now. All tatted up, makes me feel old!

[@stephanieforrester1026]

Did you know that the children don’t have a script! The producers of the show got them to say what they want, and when it came to them filming for a scene, they told them the subject and they can say whatever came to their heads, the parents had to go along with it, even if it was nonsense.

[@Jamie-sg4bq]

They didnt commit tax fraid they said their kids lived at their grandad cus he lives closer to the noce school so is in the catchment area. Schools prioritise kids with siblings at the school, those in care and those that live close when deciding who gets to go

Thank you for your reaction! 🙌🏻 Outnumbered is one of my favourite UK sitcoms and by far one of the most realistic shows about family life I've ever seen. Did you know the show was semi-improvised? That's one reason why it's so realistic. That and ofcourse the very talented actors. Karen is the best! 🥰 There's better episodes to come so I'm looking forward to your next reaction video! 👍🏻
