I say he is the funniest intellectual comedian there is and I’m in my seventies. He keeps me going. God bless him. He has got me through some dark days. Thanks Al Murray.

[@iandavis5739]

I fully agree. His observations backed by knowledge, his nuances and delivery of things we can no longer say publicly, while privately having a giggle within closed circles makes this man one of the only intellectual comedians performing at this level. Five per cent of this monologue was devoted to a clever stab at the Irish of which I am one, and his exposing of the greed, lunacy and smugness of the Celtic Tiger era was right on the money. He subtly portrays us as the victims, and we truly were. We're still paying the debt, fourteen years later with many more years to go. Greetings from a recently turned 59 year old. This performance is incredible.

Guy Gibson who commanded the Dam Busters raid on the Ruhr valley dams during WW2, using Barnes Wallis's 'bouncing bomb", had a pet black Labrador dog he named Nigger; which he also used as the word in the coded transmission to confirm when each of the target dams were destroyed. That word is no longer socially acceptable, if it ever was, so it's workplace verboten!

[@ancogaming]

He speaks German way better than that, I know for a fact because he visited to make a documentary here. But of course, the Guv doesn't, why would he when English is the best language IN THE WOOOORLD!?

[@LookHereMars]

I don't think many people know that Al Murray is a qualified Historian who attended and graduated Oxford University and can if memory serves speak fluent German. He is a very smart Individual and knowing this at least for me makes the Guvs comedy that much more funny.

[@maxmullen6337]

AncoGaming. English is the most widely spoken language in the world. More people speak other languages, but English is the most common second language. Knowing German is useful in Germany (and Austria) but where else? Knowing English is likely to be useful in practically every country in the world. It’s all the consequence of England being the first modern democracy, the first to embrace science for its own sake (the first society to create a organisation devoted to science) and the first to industrialise and bringing civilisation to at least a quarter of the globe in the greatest empire in history.

[@thehighprotondiet3127]
