Phoenix Nights - Series 1, Episode 5 - Comedy Robot Wars (Reaction Video)

[@22Phantasm]

Just before the colonoscopy, the radio was playing 'The Whole of the Moon'. Legendary.

[@slates1969]

NUS the national students Union card. Basically students can get a discount

[@patrickmaloney6440]

Your 'old man' is slang for your man bits!! Hence the confusion over washing him in the sink in Amsterdam!

[@bradlucy]

KZbin has blocked some episodes of Phoenix Nights, but for some reason released this episode. Other episodes of Phoenix Nights are on Dailymotion and Patreon.

[@h4r4]

Didn’t even know you guys done Phoenix Nights, get in. One of the best sitcoms ever. A classic 😂

[@newuk26]

"Look at that, its filthy. Sheila give it a wipe" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pabrennan6877]

Got me too! Ha

[@Uvray]

We still have a Legion here in this town. The older folks still "go down the Legion."

[@Telemachus31]

The old couple doing the terrible dancing at the end is probably my favoirite bit of the entire series!

[@mral8145]

Love this episode and brilliant reaction. A brew is a cup of tea!

[@dav147]

You missed the song playing while Jerry was getting his colonoscopy 'the whole of the moon'

[@tick999]

The house band drummer Toby Foster is in an actual band 'The Everly Pregnant Brothers'

[@j9lorna]

Spot on about the legion. We'd pop there because they stayed open later, had discounted beer and had darts and pool. Often the main room would have been booked put for a wedding or bingo night or similar. Good Times.

[@stevenjoy3170]

the first time this was aired on Channel 4 in England I watched up to the fourth episode of the 1st series before I realised that Peter Kay was the bouncer and the owner in the wheel chair classic. love the small people at the beginning still made me piss my self laughing , there are still some social clubs like that in the north but very very few

[@neilthewheelio]

Max the bouncer played by Peter is based upon an ex local bouncer in Bolton called Trevor Roberts (The Bolton Iron man). The resemblance is uncanny.

[@markcutting6504]

The bouncers are max & paddy.Peter is max.paddy is paddy mcguiness.himself a comedian but also boyhood school friend of peters.they ended up with there own show-max & paddy road to nowhere.well worth watching as well

[@mcfairclough]

Okay. My legion club in the north west of England had a compare who was a little person. He road a midget bike and his bike leathers were an exact copy of Michael Jackson's Thriller costume. This is so true to life it's unbelievable.

[@Delicious_J]

Was it Bolton? I was brought up in Wigan, but my mums from Bolton and my dads from Leigh, my grandparents used to visit their local legion/working man's club (not sure which one or where) in Leigh, it was what their generation did, I wouldn't be surprised if they met there.

[@mcfairclough]

@@Delicious_J It was The Legion Club in Haydock. But I think they were all very similar. It was a right of passage growing up in Haydock.

[@garethhelliwell9736]

NUS is national union of students. If they have an NUS card they get discount at places. Max and Paddy thought it was drugs

[@WhipLashJimmyFrank]

Also, Robot Wars should be a strong contender for a future series, roughly Series 4 is a good place to start.

[@stevanblacklock2671]

I absolutely love you guys and you're reaction videos ! Canadian here who lives in the UK (I grew up in Hamilton, Ontario 🇨🇦). Keep up the good work my friends, hope you get over here to the UK some day ! Still miss my home of course. Love you guys

[@bradlucy]

Thank you so much Stevan. Lucy lived in Hamilton in the early 90's. We plan to travel to the U.K. eventually, so let's have a drink together when we do. 😊🍻

[@stevanblacklock2671]

@Brad & Lucy OMG that would be awesome ! And Lucy lived in Steel City too ! Let me know when you're here, that would be incredible !

[@stevek3036]

Bonus fun fact: The doorman with the goatie beard was actually Peter Kay

[@laverdajota8089]

Was it really,

[@michaelyoung7802]

He called the actor in the wheelchair Potter after Lionel Barrymore in the film It’s A Wonderful Life.

[@newuk26]

I never knew there were Legion clubs in Canada. No wonder you understand Phoenix Nights better than the US reactors!

[@bradlucy]

Oh yes, legions were a huge part of Canadian culture.

[@tick999]

They were playing The Whole of the Moon By The Waterboys during the colonoscopy. 'The hole of the moon' get it

[@flea1972]

Yes that was Buck Rodgers theme. 😂🤣👍

[@flea1972]

... Rogers

[@kildogery]

My parents never had a "club" but my ex's dad lives at his local "working men's club" In some areas they're still thriving and will have a "turn" on at the weekend. Cheap booze will never go out of fashion.

[@frankbevan413]

Paddys girl friend = the same now woman from pete kays "Car share"

[@martindunstan8043]

Hey you two barmy buggers🤣 your intros are getting as mad as this talent but whatever you do don't do them in your pants Brad like that nutter😂 bloody good laugh, literally cried at you two pissing yourselves about tattoo from Fantasy island 🤣🤣brilliant, thank you both👏👏👌✌️🍻

[@steeevebt]

The club that they use for the Phoenix club is in Farnworth, Bolton where I live. We use to see filming all the time in and around Bolton.

[@HARRi81_UK]

Great episode but you'll love series 2, there's some real classics coming up

[@Oldstager]

Phoenix nights is one of my favourite comedy series and I enjoyed the video very much. If you get a chance try the one where the horse mounts the bull machine that people were riding trying to stay on it. The horse drinks someone's beer and all hell breaks loose. Can I also let you know that the security guards (*Max and Paddy) created a new series that was as funny or maybe even better. Hopefully you can include a few of those in future video's. This was the best video I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME, THANKS

[@IanDarley]

Are you planning to watch the spinoff Max & Paddy when these are finished?

[@bradlucy]

Yes, definitely

[@jock2109]

Max n Paddy is fucking hilariously funny

[@aliciab4072]

Love this video!!!! You need to watch max and paddy road to nowhere! You will love it!!! With Peter Kay it’s the best

[@owensamuel6671]

when your finished phoenix nights there is a spin off max and paddys road to nowhere the bouncers

[@keithc9461]

Defo Canadian legion, awful lot of Brits fantazie about moving to Canada, Australia or parts of the USA,, but to us it's fantasy..... other people it's a reality, thanks for uploading, and guessing I'm blocked ✌️

[@bradlucy]

👩‍🦰- lol Why would you be blocked? You're being silly. 🙂

[@keithc9461]

@@bradlucy meant.. easier to get to places if you do it legally, I know that sound's sort of thing but hey ho, take care and peace 🇨🇦🇨🇦✌️

[@clintelliott3175]

😂😂😂 Great show, I loved it at the time and wish they brought it back. Love you guys ❤️ not in a gay way 😉🥺🤣

[@mrmoran0077]

When you've done these there are comps of the outtakes on yt that are gold

[@davidhall7811]

NUS is the National Union of Students, they get discounts in loads of places

[@anitahargreaves9526]

In 70s, loved Shawaddywaddy 🇬🇧👵

[@JAY61ish]

Working men's clubs are a tad different to the legion clubs over here... But not a lot 😂😂😂😂

[@steo-red408]

when paddy said he went to Amsterdam and the prostitute made him wash his old man in the sink, then max said, what you took your dad, his old man is his dick, but max thought he meant his dad. don't think you got that one, great reactions to phoenix nights 😂

[@fade.2.black.ffd8ff]

NUS = National Union of Students, defacto discount card around campus plus shops and ID card

[@paulhollett8415]

NUS - National Union of Students - as a student this was a card that in some places a small discount was given.

[@robertmarriott6767]

Correct that was the Buck Rogers theme tune

[@Tonyblack261]

N.U.S. National Union of Students - they sometimes get discounts at clubs.

[@beesfoot]

I thought I was hallucinating for the first 90 seconds of this video!

[@kildogery]

Hilarious pathos. Kay is a genius.

[@mikeymikeFType]

Coming in your ear 😂

[@beesfoot]

Thas was so funny when you realised they were short people!

[@andywrong3247]

Brad & Lucy @ the start washing his old man in the sink he was referring to washing his penis, on the door asking for reduction on her nus card? Was I think her student union card. Davros was leader of the darleks from British doctor who.

[@helvete983]

Yup the Buck Rodgers theme brought back some memories. Mainy of Erin Grey

[@bradlucy]

Yes, in a very tight space suit 😜

[@markcutting6504]

This is the sort of club comedians like chubby brown started in!!!but full of losses up working class men like miners etc

[@stevenjoy3170]

Ho I believe that the auditions at the end of the episodes were real, I heard peter kay say they were in an interview.

[@markcutting6504]

Try early doors proper northern comedy mostly about pub life.very funny & friendly

National UNION of Students

[@rogergriffiths5631]

Another great series😂

[@kildogery]

You paused at exactly the same point I thought "is that Buck Rogers?"

[@seanmc1351]

the stupid thing lol, during the 70s and 80s, at workmans clubs in the north of england, this is not to far away from the truth lol

[@davidswan3610]

brilliant !

[@stievboyo636]

NUS - National Union of Student's get a discount at some venue's

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Slowly catching up, your Brit accent, amazing. I'm worried as don't detect yours. Maybe I'm losing mine a bit?

[@jamesbatten8659]

No old man is a term for your penis in the UK 😂🇬🇧❤️🇨🇦

[@channel55andaboxoftissues16]

i had yout DM link saved from previous reactions, i thought you wouldn't upload them here. I checked a couple of times to see if you'd uploaded more. I figured you'd just lost interest. For what it's worth, you should have reacted to That Peter Kay thing before this because it was where these characters originated. In That Peter Kay Thing, each episode focuses on a single character. There were a load more characters of his.

[@bradlucy]

I run them through copyright, but KZbin usually rejects them. For some reason they let this episode through.

[@channel55andaboxoftissues16]

@@bradlucy i enjoy your humour man, the burp intro the other day was something else. Im 37 and have got to watch some of the best ever comedy from it's inception eg Ali G, Bo Selecta (a series based on random a-z list celeb alter egos, sort of a weird outdated series now but still a cult classic in my age group). Ali G, Bo selecta, peter kay, inbetweeners, peep show, facejacker/fonejacker were all Channel 4. BBC used to have the best comedy but it became too bland and pc. channel 4 had the freedom to air all the filth you can imagine. We used to watch the US series Oz on channel 4. we had a show called eurotrash in the 90s back when you had to look at a dirty mag/paper to see that type of content. i think now, channel 4 is dog sh** too and pretty much all comedy has died. im always looking out for new content to watch and it's dead. I've enjoyed curb your enthusiasm for a couple of years, that's been a lot of fun, something different. south park isnt even funny anymore. with all that said there is one guy who occasionally puts out something insane..and that's the scottish funny guy Limmy. He had his own bbc scotland series called The Limmy Show, now he tends to just put out online streaming content. look up the video "limmy's advice when facing God's judgement" that one is pretty dark but one of the funniest things ive ever heard.

[@rikspilz4991]

Is that Bond at the end?

[@darrenmorgan870]

Did I hear a British accent coming through, not bad I thought their was a midget under the table And when i said a midget, I meant a British midget, not a Canadian midget trying to impersonate a British midget cos that would be crazy, and when I said midget that is what we used to call people, that today you would know as a "mini me, sized person" that's all I've got to describe a midget, or a leprechaun looking type person without the Irish accent or green clothes, or then again they could have a Irish accent, I don't know, its to late to think about this stuff after a couple of pints

[@MirageMusicUk]

I'm surprised that you didn't get the Sushi..Roy Fish line absolute genius haha but that's why this show has so much reply factor.. I've lost count at how many times I've watched this, makes it even better that it was filmed in my hometown of Bolton.

If you like Peter Kay check out Car Share - shouldn't work as comedy but it just does..

"the old man" refers to the male sexual organ. Not washing your father in the sink lol

Didnt know yous reacted to this. Abdolutely brilliant. Love peter kay hes a ledge. You should react to more and carshare.

[@SiLatics56]

You missed the very first joke in this episode 😂 "Made me wash me old man in the sink" (referring to his penis) to which Max replies "You took your Dad?" Easy to do, I've watched every episode of Phoenix Nights many many times and only after repeat listens do you get all the jokes. A lot of them are like catching the end of conversations and you have to listen carefully. Some brilliant innuendos and lines.
