FIRST TIME REACTING TO | School Reunions | Peter Kay

[@InterMalager]

10:55 Paddy McGuinness is Peters friend from school and growing up in Bolton. He is famous in his own right now after Peter put him in his TV shows

[@jamiezaman]

Paddy McGuiness is a comedian,actor,TV host and Peter Kay's best mate, He also stars with Peter in the sitcoms Phoenix nights and Max and Paddy.

[@howardyoung9987]

Sawdust was sawdust. A lollipop lady was a school crossing guard. The thick table was for stupid people and Paddy McGuinness has been in some of the same shows as Peter and was at school with him.

[@flumpah]

I remember the bench walking and the rush for the ropes :)

[@sarahealey1780]

When he was on the floor talking about back your books, back when we were at school, to help preserve the book that would be handed in at the end of the year and used again for the next year, we had to back our books, this ment covering the cover of a book and paper, wall paper or magazine pictures, I'm pretty sure they don't do it now, but I don't know.

[@bluebellwood4287]

A lollipop lady or man is the school crossing guard :) so called because of the shape of the sign they use to stop traffic to make it safe to cross. Swanning in or swanning around is what you do when not being time efficient :) eg..stop swanning around it's time to go to grandma's Each county in england has their own dialect and even vocabulary for different things.

I went to my 10 year reunion just to see 3 people, they did not attend. When I was contacted for my 20 year (by the "head cheerleader") I asked her if she knew who I was. After several minutes of back and forth the answer was an obvious no. So I turned down the invitation rather rudely by reminding her that "I could not stand you people 20 years ago so I highly doubt that has changed". The sawdust was actually just that gathered from the school wood shop. Because back in the day schools offered both wood and metal shop as well as home economics (cooking, sewing and home making) so I don't know where the economics part came in.

[@gavingiant6900]

The shatter proof ruler was because there was a craze where we would slap the ruler on the table and it would shatter, so a new rule for schools to have shatter proof ones. The "thick table" is what would now be called the 'special needs or special table'. Paddy McGuinness does comedy and TV, Peter helped him to get known (also good friends, I don't know if they really went to school together). "Let the ..... see the ....." (fill in the blanks with anything), is his catchphrase from a dating show he presented (Take Me Out). It is funny to watch it

[@lexiburrows8127]

I remember when the new Shatter-Proof ruler first came in. ALL we kids bought this novelty - then spent all day dropping them, bending them and throwing them about to see if it was really true!

[@gavingiant6900]

@@lexiburrows8127 I don't even think I was born when the ban came into place, but we were told about them in the early '90s. Ironically by our teacher in junior school, this backfired because we went hunting for them and tried it out in class. Obviously it was noticed and was getting to be a problem, after that it was an instant detention if you were caught with one.

[@Sheffield_Steve]

Did anyone used to turn the ruler over on its front to the desktop and make the sound effect of an arrow being fired from a bow hitting the target like Robin Hood? 🤣

[@gavingiant6900]

@@Sheffield_Steve Abit of both, the twang and the thud. But normally holding it and twanging the top of it while holding it.

[@JerryGDawg56]

You always have such enjoyable reactions. Peter is absolutely hilarious and you are absolutely gorgeous! Keep’em coming.😊

[@brittreacts]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@Fatally_yours_]

I’ve seen most of Peter Kay’s stuff so many times (I’m a massive fan and he’s from my home town 😃). But the putting the coat on ‘discreetly’ still gets me every time! 😂

[@jamieoconnor1916]

Great work Britt thanks I love Peter kay and your videos respect 🙏

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

We just had my 40th (late after Covid). I went with lifelong friends after hearing that i had died. I had stopped social media a few years back; so logically, it must be death. I was shocked by how old people looked - like it was our 60th - and Botox was losing the battle. I have no Botox, no nip/tuck, no dye, and literally am the same exact size as I was in 1981. People assume I am around 50, but I thought I looked my age. Not anymore. My profile pic is from this year. The reunion made me realize it is weird being the same age as old people.

[@KevinPugh-hq8rc]

Lollipop lady - a woman who carries a lollipop staff which is used to stop the traffic usually in front of a school .... Before shatter proof rules came (they were very very flexible and hard to break), rules were a little brittle so they created sharp edges .... and before plastic rulers, they were wooden and could splinter. Maybe 'shatter proof' was a marketing name ?

[@joenelson4235]

You should do series reactions! British comedy seems to be a favourite, Peter Kay has some great ones he wrote, produced and starred in

[@grantstephens2555]

Please check out Lee Evans. Another genius English comedian.

[@brittreacts]

I will keep him in mind, thanks!

[@danellacoffey5836]

We had a school reunion about 4 years ago, we all met in a bar in the city and it was crazy, we had an absolute blast and renewed old friendships, we all turn 50 this year❤

[@ToniMcGinty]

The "thick" table would be the classroom equivalent of the US shortbus. Reserved for the...less intellectually endowed members of the classes.

[@stevedurnell4002]

Great video nice awesome reaction by you thank you so much for sharing your video with us love it Britt.👍

[@brittreacts]

glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching!

[@sibbo-v6n]

At my primary school the class was 48 pupils and we learnt more than the modern day kids whose class size is only about 20. The teachers ruled with a rod of iron.

[@joealyjim3029]

Christ 48? We had 12 i think

[@quinjesuis9187]

Hilarious, the stuff that went over my head were English terms that us Americans won't know, no i have not been to any of my cass reunions because there was no one i wanted to see, class reunions are just for the popular people that all knew each other to get together to see how well each other are doing, sad but true, i was a loner, an out cast, a misfit, so there was need to go to a class reunion, i dropped out and followed my own path and marched to the beat of my own drum 🥁

[@gregkortbein5108]

The first one I went to was the 40th. Fun with a bunch of old people. LOL

[@Gumbob1967]

Love your reactions. So natural. I'm from Scotland so if you think P K is hard to understand wait till you hear my accent lol. Anyhow, best wishes from Scotland and keep up the good work.

[@kathylivedinthe80s14]

I’ve been to 2 of my high school reunion. I’ve been out of high school for 36 years now...man I feel old now

[@markcutting6504]

Paddy mcguiness thick table(thick meant stupid)they were best mates & both went on to be top comedians.you have to check them out in Phoenix nights which Peter starred in & wrote.they both played doormen which created a spin off series called max & paddy😘

[@ronnienose8608]

You need to watch him talking about misheard lyrics, it's hilarious!

[@janeedmunds7582]

I went to one reunion. 10 year I think. Most of the people I knew were not there, but some of the people I didn't like were. They hadn't changed..never again!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I haven’t gone to a class reunion and I don’t especially want to . Peter is hilarious 😂

[@brittreacts]

he is so funny!

[@stephenaldred9398]

Enjoyed watching you trying to understand the britishisms that were clearly baffling you. Very enjoyable.

[@BigBigBafz]

As a teacher, 22 kids per class sounds like the dream. We have an average of 30 kids per class in the UK.

[@John-q2y9k]

Just come across you’ve videos lol you make smile

[@rantoppp]

I graduated in 1987. I didn't go to the 5-year reunion but went to the rest of them and had a great time. I was even invited to the class of "88" 25- and 30-year reunions and had a lot of fun at them as well. I wish I would have crashed the class of "86" reunions because I had a lot of friends in that class.

[@trevorbaynham8810]

It is sawdust that is thrown down - it is also put on the road when there has been an accident. It absorbs liquid (and covers it) - for example blood, oil, petrol, diesel,. If I am driving and see what looks like sand or sawdust on the road I know that there must have been a recent accident.

[@AB-C1]

Legend.. you missed some of the English-specific references, but it's still hilarious! And trust me as a Londoner even we struggle to understand some of the accents from up north or Scotland and Ireland if they're really broad and speaking fast. Also in Britain you often get regional sayings or slang that a specific to a certain region.. you did well understand as much as you did(you'd probably have to watch it again with subtitles). Btw when he said about covering the school books with 'Razzle' that was an "Adult" magazine in England in the 80s.. 😂 Great reaction video.. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@pamagnolia]

He’s so funny. His accent is really thick. We lived in England for three years and had a hard time understanding some of the northern accents.

[@brittreacts]

his accent is strong lol

[@jamesstridgen6320]

Now’t bad with The Lancashire accent its gradly (good)

[@gunnerman2452]

Have you heard Peter doing miss heard lyrics in pop songs. Its hilarious😅

For an American, you’re good with our accent. I still trouble myself with the Yorkshire accent.

At the end listen to the joke when the curtains draw... its a good one

[@wonhung]

I went to my 50th school leaving Aniversary and about 30 of us turned up, but only 1 was from my old class and she was there with her 2nd Toy boy husband and she'd been my girl at school and her husband didn't like me because I'd been with her 4 years before he was even BORN, my wife found it hilarious.

[@gisellerox184]

Best physical British comedian in my opinion is Lee Evans! He is hysterical. X

[@John-q2y9k]

Don’t you think it’s strange that people across the world can relate to this lol

[@toodlescae]

I've been to all but one of my class reunions. I missed the 30th but I DID make it to the 40th in 2019.

great video Britt, love your videos, have a good day beautiful.

It was saw dust

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Good reaction. Thick means stupid in the UK. So it was all of the special needs children or the children who didn’t do well for whatever reason. They were called stupid in the 80s and before.

[@bretonbros]

Love your reactions ❤️ you should try reacting to Dara O Brien ( mixed weddings or I love computer games) that or some Dave Allen he has a decent back log of comedy. Alternatively if you want to react to British comedians that i have not seen reacted to much you could try Josh Widicome, Alan Davies, Ed Byrne(Irish) or possibly Edd Gamble😁

[@Grillers9]

comedian Eddie Izzard, you should do some of his or her's or his or her's

[@Perfect_Blend]

You should try some Etta May comedy. She is a riot.

Still hoping for a reaction to Sebastian Maniscalco's 'Doorbell' piece, maybe the only video you did on him didn't get the hits because you spelt his name wrong in title but hope you give him another chance, I'd love to see you laugh at that one. 😀🙏

I'm a teacher and kids are just not funny anymore. I've given up waiting for wit from teenagers it's never coming. I can tell anecdotes to this day of things that were said by my friends at school and they make grown people laugh. A joke now by youngsters is shoving a phone in someone's face with a tik tok video and saying look huhu. The smart funny kids are the quiet ones.

they want a shatter proof ruler because the nuns hit you with them, they dont want them to break as the hit you.

[@terrywright7470]

I will start by saying that this simply stunning young lady really "Gets Into" these videos, and finds them REALLY funny. BUT she has the annoying habit of talking all through the video, and not only pausing and trying to fathom out what has just happened or missing some of the jokes and asides but spoiling it for those of us who want to listen to PETER KAY. I think that when she was an infant she must have been vaccinated with a gramophone needle. Such a shame because she really is a stunner, but she makes it hard work to watch her when she breaks off to dissect each small section of of speech on the video, and in doing so makes it very hard to get any continuity. If she was not so beautiful I would skip her videos.
