[@mrjones2721]

His American accent is offensively accurate. (Especially because his own accent is nigh-impenetrable to Americans.)

[@mickeyabbot5851]

That and because he chose the perfect caricature that even Americans hate the walking stereotype that is Chad Hogan

[@BuckfastConsumer]

He actually googled a guy called Chad Hogan after this bit..and he went to his house .he was a college frat boy😆😆. Literally the same guy

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

​@@-norsecode- scottish accents are hard to impersonate unless you understand that they use complete different words sporadically, most of which are loanwords from the Scots language

[@bobbydeazy]

In England these have been renamed as "working events" it's a new term coined by Boris.

[@philcliffe6909]

I went to a party like that. Someone was spitting petrol out of their mouth whilst lighting it (inside). Two others, off their heads kicked out all but five of the 50 or so wooden spindles on the staircase over a period of several hours.

[@biskitz86913]

Yeah was at a few when I was that age. "A tense affair" is a good way of putting it 🤣

[@-norsecode-]

JFC 🤣 My best experience is keg in the upstairs bathroom bathtub, while someone was being held upside down while bonging beer in their mouth, the tub fell through the floor onto the kitchen. That did not stop the party. It was a point of pride.

[@christineroulin9518]

As a non-native speaker Kevin remains a bit of a challenge (except when talking about Chad 😂), but I find it hilarious how the automated subtitles are SO far off the mark. Even I understand more than they do! 🤣 Love his style, love his sense of humour! 👍🏻

[@Joker-yw9hl]

What's your native tongue??? Where are you from? Do you find English or American accents more easy to understand?

[@christineroulin9518]

@@Joker-yw9hl I'm German and I got my US high school diploma during a year in Florida. Thanks to TV shows etc I have hardly any problem with US accents. UK and Irish accents, however, can be very tricky - we just don't hear them that often. People from the greater London area are usually ok to understand, but Isle of Man, Cork, ... - I'm completely lost without subtitles.

[@Joker-yw9hl]

@@christineroulin9518 oh interesting! I've heard from a couple of German and Austrian friends that they learn British English in school, but Germans in particular almost always sound American when they speak English! As you say, it must be from movies and music etc.

[@christineroulin9518]

@@Joker-yw9hl In school in Germany "ze" English teachers try their best to teach British, but most students see that as uncool. But I guess it also depends on where in Germany you've grown up. I grew up in the American sector (Frankfurt), whereas the British sector was in northern Germany (Hamburg). (Russia had the east, France the west). So there were lots of US military in and around Frankfurt. We even had a Chichi's that civilians were allowed to go to. We grew up in the strong belief that America was the shining star after which we should model ourselves, especially since we also grew up knowing that you cannot and must not be proud of being a German. When I saw the US pride in their own country first hand, it was a real culture shock for me. I can still recite the pledge of allegiance. As could my dad, up to his death in his seventies, after having spent a year in Montana in the fifties. So yeah - American English is what most Germans aspire to (efen if zat doesn't alvays vork out 🤣).

[@bjnwright]

I'm from NZ and I understand him just fine. I don't find his accent strong compared to some other Scots, who are a real challenge

[@pamelathomas847]

I'd never heard of an empty before,in Dublin we called it a "free gaff"

[@Demondoink1]

Favo(u)rite comedians: 1. Kev 2. Ron White 3. Bill Burr 4. John Mulaney

[@davidmcwilliamson4575]

1. Bill Burr - "theres no reason to hit a woman. no reason! Really!!! I can give you like 17 straight of the top of my head." "you just dont do it but the level of ego to say 'theres no reason'. What do you ladies levitate above the rest of us?" 🤣🤣🤣 Quality! Talks about controversial topics but always makes great points. Genius 👌 2. Jim Jefferies - the bit about getting his disabled brother a prostitute. 😂👌 Always makes me think i shouldn't be laughing about certain topics which makes him even funnier. 3. Kevin Bridges Anything he talks about is verry funny. very observational 4. James Acaster - Takes you on a kind of surreal journey were you'd never know where he's going which doesn't always make sense until he gets to the end. Also can be hilariously funny without cheap and easy offensive jokes. which is quite rare imo. 5. Billy Connelly - Nothing to say about the 'Big Yin'. Except all time great who all Scots adore. 🤣👌👐👏

That thing he describes about buying a baseball bat, happened to me when I bought a TV once. The clerk hands me a form, and asks me to fill in my name & address. When I enquired what it was for, they explained it was so a database can keep tabs on whether or not I have a license. I can't wrap my head around that logic. Some people will write their real information, and pay their license fee. Some people will write fake information, and not pay their license fee. Nofuckinbody is gonna write their real info, but then not pay the fee. End of seminar.
