lol ok. Yes it’s a different type of show, yes some things are going to go over my head. Yes yes yes. But remember, if I don’t laugh out loud at something it doesn’t automatically mean that I didn’t understand it. If I laughed out loud at every single line or joke from a comedy show you would find me insufferable (some people already think that lol). However, this was recorded a month ago. I am currently 4 episodes in on Patreon and about to do a 5th and I’m happy to say that I think this show is fantastic and hilarious. It was also recommended by a friend who explained the northern England working man’s club background of the show. So remember, I am loving the show so far. And if I don’t laugh at something, it doesn’t always mean that I didn’t understand what was said or what happened. Usually if that’s the case I look into the camera and wave my hand over my head or say out loud “I don’t get it”. Have a great day today you lovely muppeteers. -King Boomer, Lord of the Muppets and sitter on toilets

[@seanmcmichael2551]

KB ..... good man, ..... great background to any of us appreciating whether you enjoyed or even 'got' various British comedies. As you say, you're well capable of indicating how things are coming across. And well done for dropping the H from "sitter on toilets" ! Keep it up. Best US reactor out there :)

Just for a bit of context, the guy opening the club is Roy Walker, probably best known for presenting a TV quiz show in the UK called "Catchphrase" where contestants had to guess a common phrase from an animation which slowly revealed over time. His own catch phrase was "say what you see" and Mr Chips was the animated character which appeared on screen, hence the little jokes.

[@octaviussludberry9016]

I'm a 54 year old bloke from the north-west of England (just near Liverpool). I never watched That Peter Kay Thing or Phoenix Nights until about 6 months ago. Glad I caught up - it's fucking superb. I am intrigued by an American watching it. It's not only so utterly British humour, a lot of it is so parochial to the north-west of England, probably even Bolton itself, and working class, of a an older disposition, that I would think King Boomer might miss a lot. That said, I probably missed some of it not being from Bolton. Younger people would miss a lot because the social club is really not a thing that is widespread nowadays. Fascinating stuff.

[@chrisaskin6144]

The remark towards the end of "a singalong with Combat 18," is a reference to a British Neo Nazi extreme racist group (think Ku Klux Klan.) The name Combat 18 was chosen because of Adolf Hitler's initials (AH) being the 1st and 8th letters of the alphabet.

[@TheSideband]

Watch a little further, the auditions for acts for the club (at the end) are hilarious.

[@hishamg]

I forgot about that, there is a sort of “post credit” bit at the end of each episode.

[@tonypate9174]

The inflatable bouncy castle - “What are they?”…”Them’s its eggs!” 😂😂

[@giljohnston2183]

“You swept that cock up yet?”

[@Ozzpot]

What makes this even more brilliant, and shows how accurate a parody it was, the audiences were mostly real Bolton residents who I believe were not entirely aware of the nature of the show, and their reactions to the (often inappropriate) acts real. Also, incredibly, the acts being auditioned at the end of each episode are real life acts from the area.

[@andrewlowery5957]

Love this show. Can quote it backwards. I love that there’s little gags squirrelled in there too - like the name of the business being on the truck, ‘Sweet Truck Haul’ 😂 It’s a shame no-one has DVD’s anymore because the commentary for these were pure gold. Peter Kay and Paddy McGuinness calling Daniel Kitson (who plays the DJ with the glasses in this ep) all kinds of things because he claimed that Phoenix Nights was the thing he was most ashamed of doing. Being from the north east and seeing Tim Healy (Leslie from Benidorm) made me wonder what Boomer would make of Auf Wiedersehen Pet with him struggling with some of the accents in this 😂

[@alistairthorn1122]

There was a 1970s TV show called "The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club". Worth watching an episode or two to get a handle on working mens club culture. Back in the 60s and 70s it was common for large employers in the north to have social clubs for their employees. So towns with mines would have a miner's welfare club. Or a few employers would sponsor a trades club. They were social clubs that offered a range of entertainment and cheap alcohol. Phoenix Nights is set long after the best days of the northern England working mens club, but that adds to the charm of the show.

[@kieranlazenbury8773]

Phoenix nights is up there with faulty towers for me. brilliant shows that never fail to make me laugh.

[@MrDCWood]

Trust me, King...you've hit the jackpot with Phoenix Nights. Give it time. It's absolutely amazing. Especially in Series 2 when things kick into overdrive! 👍

[@inickedurnan941]

Don't know if you saw but at then end of the episodes there's usually a little audition skit... some are absolutely hysterical.

Hey presto! Sammy the snake! 🤣😂🐍 love that episode. Also the black bin bags and corned beef songs! 😂 queen boomer needs to watch this aswell. You will love it the more you watch.

[@ajivins1]

This was not written just by Peter Kay but was a three way job by him, Dave (The Saint) Spikey and Neil (Ray Von) Fitzmaurice. The celebrity guest,'TV's own Roy Walker presented Catchphrase, a quiz show that you should watch a clip from called 'Snake Charmer'. Never cut off the end of P N without seeing the auditions. Kay was both Brian and Max on the door.

[@reinholdmueller4882]

Can't wait to see you reacting to the episode: *Family Fun Day* Maybe, invite Queen Boomer (Cally) to watch as well.

[@DannyKeogh94]

Mate. I seen “fun day” and just started chuckling hahaha. Never gets old that one 🤣

[@Ashamanic]

Yeah, the scene with the racist song, where he doesn’t realise into the journalist points it out then his horror and panic as he listens, actually understands what they are saying and panics as he tries to get them off is a classic.

[@sammyd8860]

It is very very dry Northern humour. But there are lots of subtleties which you might not pick up immediately. For example, when Brian Potter phoned the guy in Stranraer he had Brian's number under the name Ironside (the armchair detective played by Raymond Burr). Also when Brian was shouting at the builders for singing acapella he said they were singing Acapulco. I think the back story of the club, hinted at by the interviewer, was that the nightclub had been burnt down once, flooded once and was now reopening again (hence the name Phoenix and hence Brian being in a wheelchair). A visual clue that Brian's wheelchair existence was recent was that he couldn't reach the optics to get a drink, which was continued with the visual gag of him drinking out of a vase (because he could reach the optics with that)

[@allanmanaged5285]

I think you meant WHEELCHAIR detective mate.

[@angelataylor4540]

"Have you got two if my builders singing acapulco" 😅

[@brianrobinson7984]

In the song they are referring to some black shoes they got but had asked for white shoes hence saying "send the buggers back". But yeah, it's quite easy to interpret it as racist. Peter Kay also plays one of the doormen (the one in the neck brace) and the follow up to this is Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere. The first episode has a moment in it which is one of the funniest/greatest moments in tv ever. I won't spoil it for you but I guarantee you will have to pause to give yourself time to recover..

[@Sheffield_Steve]

One or two have commented on Tim Healy and "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet!" Is another must watch. All you need to know from this drama, it was about blokes left on the scrapheap in Thatcher's Britain going abroad to work &/or work "on the fiddle" whilst still claiming unemployment benefits. Series 1 is set in Düsseldorf and Series 2 begins in Derbyshire then ends up with a job for a crook and his Spanish villa. Both Series 1 & 2 are hilarious and there's a couple more series that aren't too bad! 👍

[@davidmee1822]

Yes! The greatest British sitcom ever. And yes, that’s Jeff and Leslie, fun fact, Leslie (Tim Healy)is actually the father of the lead singer from The 1975. In the song they are referring to some black shoes they got but had asked for white shoes, however obviously it sounds very racist. It’s worth sticking with even though some of the jokes in this episode you may not have totally got or accents etc. as there are some absolutely hilarious moments in this series.

[@CaMsEsKi]

The Royale Family is also a great northern comedy worth warching! Based on a working class family. Very subtle comedy at times but brilliant!

[@padmelotus]

This humour is very rooted in the British culture of the time and includes cultural references that even millenial British people probably wouldnt understand. Eg, Roy Walker (the guy with white paint down his back) was a well known TV quiz show presenter at the time. Maybe, see him as a kind of Alex Trebek, but with a kind of kitchy / ironic / nostaligic spin. When the owner Brain says, "Say what you see", he's referencing one of Walker's catchprases on his quiz show. When they are talking about Irish people putting on an accent, they mention Gerry Adams. Gerry Adams was president of Sinn Féin, the political wing of the IRA. Between 1988 and 1994 the British government banned broadcasts of the voices of representatives from Sinn Féin and several Irish republican and loyalist groups on television and radio in the United Kingdom. So, wherever, Gerry Adams was interviewed, broadcasters had to change his voice. Without already knowing this things, none of these kinds of jokes work 😀

[@clothilde1623]

We geriatric millennials are well aware of Roy Walker, Mr Chips and Gerry Adams! I suspect young millennials and Gen Z would be pretty stumped though.

[@davidsavage6910]

It's all in your head...but it was planted there :) Also Phoenix Nights is full of cameos by British TV celebs.

[@Givin_it_a_go]

Excellent choice to review mate! Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights is an absolute comedy classic! 👍🏻

[@tonygriffin_]

Glad to hear you're a few episodes in and enjoying it. It can be a little difficult to follow the language with the accents but you soon get used to it. This was Peter Kay's creation and he has the 2 roles in it, as the bouncer and as the owner of the club. Yes, that was Jeff from Peep Show.

[@steviG63]

The security guard with the neck brace is also played by Peter Kay. The show gets better the longer you watch it. The minor characters come into their own & Peter Kay is superb. Best episode is the one with the blow up bouncy castle, it’s hilarious, won’t give too much away. I’m seeing Peter Kay in stand up in London on Saturday,

[@Robbie3004]

Other people have mentioned That Peter Kay Thing. Episode 1, "In the Club", is definitely worth watching as it introduced various Phoenix Nights characters. The story is set in Brian Potter's previous establishment, The Neptune Club.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

I live very close to where this is based. It's a 30 minute car journey... Yes we have a very "thick" accent it was forged in the cotton mills of the early 1900s. The noise in the factories meant you had to learn to lip read and speak slow and deliberate. In recent times we talk faster but will still put emphasis on syllables... I find it funny that our northern accent developed to be easer to understand but non northarn people find it hard to understand. lol.

[@Albanacher1903]

Zapped with James Buckley is a unsung gem

[@flumpah]

It is very very Northern ...like me 😁

[@scottwelsh7381]

So it's set in Bolton which is gunna be hard for you to get a hang of, some things went over your head but that's to be expected. Peter Kay plays Max who dropped the chips in the neck brace and Brian in the wheelchair. he also ends up playing others as one off characters. Also after these 2 seasons Max and Paddy have their own series together called 'Max and Eddies road to nowehre' It'll take some getting used to

[@bexbugoutsurvivor]

It's a slow burner, that leads to some of the best TV of it's time, that follows with a spin off show called (Max & Paddy Road To Nowhere) BTW Max (The doorman) is also played by Peter Kay....

I'm glad you've finally got round to this brilliant series. It is basically a laugh/pun a minute [sometimes visual too] and I can go back and watch this endless times. It never gets old. You will struggle to pick all the jokes up first time though, so it's worth watching every episode many times.

You really need to check out Max and Paddy's road to nowhere after, it's both the doormen in this, on there own adventure.

"I thought you were pisisng around like that Gerry Adams" That joke was so casually said, called a leader of the IRA not real Irish and then the guy says 'nah he's Irish'.

[@BradTheThird]

Wasn't sure how this would go down. Peter Kay's humour is very esoteric. I live about 6 miles from Bolton so not much is lost on me here. Good luck trying to understand our North-West accents.

In fairness, King B, there were so many UK-only references in this episode - Roy Walker (who opened the club) presented Catchphrase on UK TV for years in the 80s; there were other references to Jive Bunny (a novelty music act that topped the charts in the late 80s), and the DJ plays Walking In The Air, which was the theme of a hugely successful 80s' animated film (The Snowman). The auditions at the end of each episode are hilarious, as are the outtakes.

And '' how far away are they'' referring to dwarfs getting off a mini bus coming into the club. Max and paddy is a spin off show, it's fantastic.
