I like how the letter he was reading, written by his father, mentioned how he died.

[@PresidentHotdog]

That and "from your affectionate father, Mr Renholm."

[@BillSentry]

Yes. it was written by his dad, and told how he died. How crazy is that?

[@theoneandonlyK]

@@BillSentry how can he write how he died if he's dead, that's the joke

He's already said he can't react to black books as KZbin loses it over drinking and smoking. He would have to edit the videos so much it's pointless making them.

Two lines I absolutely love in that letter: "... but as you know, in the end I jumped out of a window" "Your affectionate father, mr. Renholm" edit: in my quest for you two to watch Toast of London, maybe start with the clip: "Fire the Nuclear Weapon" ;)

For Brit comedy full of randomness you've got to add "Red Dwarf" to your list. That's weird with great characters and sheer bonkers stories😁

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

Make sure it's the original and not the US remake

[@PaulHipToBeSquareAllen]

He is on like Season 6 of Red Dwarf. Don’t think he can get it on YT, it’s on his Patreon. Which in my opinion is well worth the dosh.

The tennis girl scratching her bum, the poster on Douglas's wall was everywhere when I was a kid. Very famous.

[@nickrobinson8339]

Matt Berry who plays Douglas, is in a hilarious American made series about a load of ancient vampires living, in modern times, on Staten Island, called What We Do In The Shadows. He plays Laszlo a 310 year old vampire. Five series of 50 odd episodes have been shown on FX but has never got more than 400,000 - 500,000 US viewers. It is based on an original New Zealand made film and is hilarious. Please try and catch it as I know you will both get the humour, having loved this, Plebs, The Inbetweeners and Friday Night Dinner and so on.

[@waltdistel716]

thanks for the recommendation! I knew the name but had no idea what it was about. the way you describe it this may be right up my alley! :)

[@nickrobinson8339]

Channel 4 is actually regular terrestrial television. Not even cable or satellite.

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

You'd be surprised how often "I would be beholden to you" works

[@DavidZ4-gg3dm]

There have been many UK shows like Builders from Hell, Plumbers from Hell etc. in which real-life bad tradesmen are invited to a house with hidden cameras to do work & are filmed to see what they do.

[@sirsancti5504]

But then you'd scream if your boss had a camera pointing at you while at work..

[@seryph3140]

True, although the shows are staged. Most "reality" tv like that is.

[@eadweard.]

They are usually urinate on something.

[@justtango4741]

Neighbours from hell too.

[@webbess1]

LOL, I'm pretty sure that show would work in the US.

[@coot1925]

I've never given British comedy much deep thought before, I've just laughed. It's not until you see people from other countries reacting to it that you realise just how random and fucked up we are. 😂✌❤🇬🇧

Guys if you like Fr Ted and IT Crowd you will LOVE Black Books.... same writer Graham Linehan. Hello from Dublin Ireland ☘

[@BlueBarchetta67]

Absolutely

[@michaeljohn1978]

The Inbetweeners and The IT Crowd were both Channel 4. Another show that was on Channel 4 and featured both Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry was Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, which was hilarious. And it was only 6 episodes, so it would be a quick one for you to watch

[@TIDYJOKER]

Father Ted too.

[@Danno_GK]

Has anyone ever suggested “Keeping Up Appearances” to you before? One of the best, doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

[@andrewmay1299]

It’s not that good though, is it? And I say that as someone who finds it funny. Also, it’s very British and very dated. There are a hundred other British comedy shows to react to before considering something like that.

[@Danno_GK]

@@andrewmay1299 Yeah…it is. Dated?? Dumbest opinion I’ve ever heard. I think they’d find it funny. And I was just suggesting it to them, maybe to watch in their own time. Calm yourself

[@ChorltonandtheWheelies]

@andrewmay1299 Agree with you 100% Keeping up Appearances was just ok imo. Not in the same league as The IT Crowd. I'd forgotten how hilarious this was, the one where they go to see the gay musical was just genius. A masterclass in how to do a comedic episode, and though I've seen that one dozens of times, I'll never not laugh at Roy going up and down that ramp in a wheelchair! There's not a bad episode imo. Dunno what "@Unfinishe" is getting arsey about? Like you said Andrew - there would be a hundred better shows for them to watch than KUA ✌

[@G1NZOU]

From the first time I watched this episode, "Hell's Horses!" entered my normal vocabulary.

[@jonburkitt3729]

Channel 4 isn't a cable channel my friend. In the UK we started with just BBC 1, that was our only TV channel when television launched here, then we got BBC 2 and followed shortly by ITV, and that was it for like 20 years or something then in the 80s Channel 4 was launched. It was all public broadcast, no cable. I believe we started having cable and satellite services introduced in the 90s, possibly earlier but you had to be well off to be able to afford that. The majority of the country just had those 4 channels, later joined by channel 5. You legally had to have a TV license to watch TV at all but even if you didn't all you need was a TV and you could watch those basic channels. Our history with television is very different to America's, hope you find that interesting haha. Been enjoying your content.

You guys are amazing, I have watched Americans reactions to British comedians and shows for a long time now but you guys are the only genuine ones who actually get British humour. Love the channel guys, I think you should have a look at Milton Jones and Lee Nelson. Much love from the UK stay safe 🎉

[@Steve_P_B]

"I did plan on using this gun to take my own life if it ever came to it, but as you know, in the end, I jumped out of a window" He wrote in the past tense... Makes me think that he must have staged his death somehow and is still alive.

[@TChighbury]

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace has a LOT of random quirky humour and also stars Moss and Douglas Renholm. It's free on KZbin but I believe although they allow reactions they do de-monetise.

[@zaftra]

He also did black books which is fantastic.

[@prestigious5s23]

I think black books is a step down compared to father Ted and it crowd. I tried to watch it before but stopped after a few episodes.

[@zaftra]

​@@prestigious5s23 oddly, I've never got through more than a few episodes of father ted

Fantastic reaction guys! There is another, older show with some of these actors in. Its only 1 season long (6 episodes) and has attained 'cult' status because its so amazing at being sooooo bad and one of very few series that has a story within a story within a story!.................its also very very funny! the show is......................Garth Marenghi's Dark Place..........a must watch! :)

[@alexmousley7213]

Channel Four is just a transmitted TV station in the UK open to anyone to watch- The Inbetweeners wasn't even on that late in the evening. UK mainstream TV has things like The Naked Attraction- a dating style show where potential dates are shown completely naked!

Hey Boomer! Ex-Total War designer here, it's not actually Matt Berry doing the voice over in Rome 2, but it's funny you should mention it because we always remarked internally about how much it sounded like him! Love the channel, keep up the good work ❤

Is Jen screaming at mr Matayoto's sudden appearance on her screen because she insulted him in season 1 when he jumped on her feet? it would also add an extra layer to his anger and frustration if he recognised her too.

I know KB has a few different laughs, but at 16:27 so reminded me of Dick Van Dyke's chuckle for a few seconds. And that's something that can cheer people up, elevate their day, just a simple laugh, a great soul, anyway just wanted to type it, probably nobody will agree lol

The boss, Douglas, is so much like some British Black Jack! He agrees not to get into any trouble. Then he excitedly finds the gun! I laughed so hard! We all knew it was gonna be trouble.

Queen Boomer is on point about being a mama bear for Princess Boomer. The job of King Boomer is to embarrass her until she gets married, both by doing goofy stuff and by showing how much he loves Queen Boomer. And never let her win in any games! My dad would trounce us in any game we ever played with him, whether it was card games, chess, or Nine-men's Morris. I never won any game against my dad, but I learnt how to use all his tricks when playing with my friends😊

A comment on your parenting worries. I know it's been like a year. I just seen an interesting take on it. It was something like "I read all the parenting books, I watched all the videos and listened to all the advice". When she was born, all of that preparation went out the window. My daughter is the one who really thought me how to be a parent".

[@robg1151]

Takeaway about to be delivered and this vid pops up, perfect 🙂

[@RobPritchardTV]

After you guys finish IT Crowd I hope you head more towards the absurdist stuff in the British comedy canon.

[@rogerlundstrom6926]

.. To me the gun in the drawer scene was kind of the quintessential example of the phrase "Idle hands is the devil's plaything".. It sounded like a simple task, because of this Douglas was so confident he could actually succeed to fulfill someone's expectations for one.. BUT.. his clear ADHD meant that he can't just sit still and be focused.. The question becomes.. "How much in trouble can you get while staying in one place"... Well.. look around a bit and you may find out.

Channel 4 is not a cable channel in the UK - it is one of the 'normal' free to view channels (sort of - TV licences are for another day) basically after 9pm in the UK it can be pretty much a free for all - although they have started with the trigger warnings for everything - if something has sex, violence, upset, death, links to anything that could be considered offensive, or that is now considered so.
