Peter Kay - School Reunions REACTION

[@boskee]

It's funny how all those things are so universal. I grew up in Poland and can relate to most of the things he said.

[@MMM0777]

Yea because it’s exactly the same system everywhere! The same indoctrination!😂

[@terrywright7470]

I am 88 years of age, and I have seen almost every one of Peter Kay`s routines, but watching this couple as THEY view his shows, is almost like I am seeing them for the first time. Living in the USA they probably had no idea who Peter Kay was, but their reactions to his comedy is wonderful to see. I know that there are people who will never "Get" his humour, but this couple shows that if it is funny it will surmount the boundaries between different countries and cultures. Well Done to you both.

[@IanDarley]

He has a Bolton accent (North West England). Paddy McGuiness that he referenced is another TV personality that he did actually go to school with and later made a comedy TV show with (Phoenix Nights, about a typical old school working man's club in Bolton and a spin-off show called Max and Paddy based around the adventures of the two doormen from the club - both hilarious).

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

Thank you for the information!!

[@liamgilmartin466]

Paddy is loved in Bolton, when he comes to town. The town gets so excited, Peter still lives in Bolton. Apparently he goes to pub near where I live. But I don't believe it.

[@AlSnoopsReid]

@@liamgilmartin466 You're right not to believe it as Peter is 99% teetotal.

[@patrickc5188]

He is from Bolton, but he does talk with an Irish accent (for the nuns and his mother)

[@PatriciaLane-x2p]

I know can’t stand paddy

He’s from Bolton. My mum lives in Bolton, Lancashire. I was brought up in Leigh, about 8 miles away. The guy is just a bloody treasure.

10:20 Paddy McGuiness is one of his best friends and acting Partner. He has acted with Peter in Phoenix nights, Max & Paddy and presented ‘Take Me Out’. They have been mates since primary school.

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

Thank you for the explanation!

[@XllXJACKXllX]

Peter is from Bolton, Lancashire, North West England. I'm from just outside Bolton and yet I speak totally differently. Accents change conpletely in the UK if you drive 20 minutes down the road

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

That’s crazy! Thank you for explaining!

[@joegreensmith3451]

They have done research and linguists believe that the American accent is closer to the accent used here in the UK during the 16 and 17 hundreds , its us who have changed not the USA,

[@shirl790]

I'd forgotten how funny Peter Kay was, yet he keeps it going constantly ur scared to laugh as u might miss a joke. He's from Bolton 😂

[@tjp353]

I remember the sawdust buckets at school. The funniest school nativity play I saw involved a kid projectile-vomiting through the mouth hole of his paper donkey mask. He went off, out came the sawdust and the show went on.

It's great to have a reaction to this from two actual teachers and to hear your take on it. Sounds like nothing has actually changed that much from when I was at school (the 70s).

The first plastic rulers did shatter. They became stabbing weapons to some kids. Thankfully they improved and bent instead of shattering.

Thank you!

As a Brit living in San Francisco, school reunions are foreign to me. We were happy to leave school and start Zuni. Please watch Peter Kay and misheard lyrics. Your lives will never be the same.

[@thomasgarwell8214]

The reason why Peter Kay is so funny, is that, in reality, you are all laughing at yourselves, as you've been there, done that. Peter Kay is, in my opinion, a very clever man who watches people and has a damn good memory

[@aidiess]

Try and find one of his sitcoms called " Car Share " - he's a very good comedy actor as well ! Car share is about a guy and a lass who share the same car to commute to work - excellent ! Also if you want a real laugh, find the car share out-takes - hillarious. I promise you.

[@dufflepod]

Well done guys - a noble effort at getting to grips with a Bolton accent. Great reaction.

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

Thanks!!

[@scouseofhorror104]

Next time the sawdust comes out, you know you're gonna be giggling 🤭 🤣

[@liamgilmartin466]

10:11 in primary school it was thick table. In high school it was thick class. So set ones where your clever people, set 6 or 7 in our school where classed as the thick classes.

[@mariahoulihan9483]

back in the late 60s I had a Maths teacher who put disruptive. not thick, kids in the huge wicker waste paper basket in the corner. Can you imagine that now? he didn;t pick them up. he just ordered them into it.. and to face the wall uintil he deemed it fit to get out. woe betide anyone who laughed.. you'd be next. I next made it in there, thankfully.

[@valeriedonaghy701]

He is from Bolton which is north west England, I live just a few miles from Bolton so the accent is easy for me to understand, but some people here who live a bit further south struggle with the accent so you are doing quite well, live your reactions x

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

Thank you!! I love his accent!

[@ChelseaPensioner-DJW]

You must've travelled a lot, people from the South wouldn't understand the Bolton dialect. Come off it, and try getting out of the North vs South rubbish, if they couldn't understand him why is he so big in the South? Let alone the whole of the UK and Ireland.

[@felixthecat02]

His accent is Lancastrian, a northern county in England. I literally grew up from the town up the road (Darwen).He is an amazing comedian and back on tour, but also look up his TV work, Phoenix Nights (with the unforgettable line 'it's inflatable filth, that's what it is! '), Max and Paddy, Car Share and That Peter Kay Thing.

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

Thanks you for all the information!! It makes sense that he lives north closer to Scotland with his accent. I love his accent!!

​@@hannah7841 They said Lancastrian which refers to someone from Lancaster OR Lancashire and Bolton is in Lancashire. Well technically Bolton is in Greater Manchester but it was formerly in Lancashire.

[@jsa2001]

I remember them bringing in those plastic shatterproof rulers, before we had wooden ones.

[@thatsthat2612]

We had both

[@j0hnf_uk]

The wooden ones were better for emulating the diving board sound in cartoons! The plastic ones sounded quite zany, akin to Zebedee boing-ing off at the end of Magic Roundabout. Don't let the teacher catch you doing it, though, or you get 100 lines. 'I will not twang my ruler in class', and you'd write all the, 'I's, down the left hand side of the page, then the, 'will', next to it. By the time you got to, 'ruler', you'd drifted across the page from top to bottom with no room left for, 'class', at the bottom of the paper.

To be honest, Bolton is the type of place where they point and throw sticks at planes.

Although Bolton (where Peter comes from) is technically part of the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester, most older people will still say it's in Lancashire and I agree with them :D

Paddy McGuinness is his friend and a TV presenter over here in the UK. They grew up together. He takes a lot of friendly shots at him during his stand ups. I went to see Peter Kay a little while back at the 02 in London and he made fun of Paddy several times because he was in the audience. Absolute comedy gold. I love that you guys across the pond are learning about Peter Kay. If you get the chance check out Sean Lock on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown and also Mickey Flanagan (he's what's known as a proper cockney over here so he might be a bit tricky to understand but believe me he's actually speaking English)

[@ChrisHealey-q2i]

Paddy is one of Peters best mates and starred with him in the Max and Paddy series, usually playing bouncers / coolers on the door at the club. Check out Max and Paddy in Prison it's hilarious. All the best from Shropshire.

I went to an all boys private half boarding school in Australia so most of us were fairly close. In my 30s I've got a dozen mates around the world that we're all in a group chat. That being said the 10 year reunion was just real estate agents exchanging cards. I think the 20th is up next year but I won't be upset if I miss it. I keep in touch with the people I want to.

[@davidfuters7152]

I have done 3 school reunions, the first was the best as it was open to present students and former students , the reason for this was we where celebrating the 550th anniversary of its founding , so there where people from 11 to 90 + there It was founded in 1440 by 3 wealthy men off the back of the wool trade , which would have made one of them an extremely wealth man he even paid towards the building of the church The original 1440 building was extended on and is now private houses so the school is now a modern building in a different part of the town The first team football pitch had a marquee on it where they served a 3 corse meal , the sports hall had a Jamaican steel band , the theatre had a disco and the main hall had a live band They made some classrooms into meeting rooms so we could catch up with old friends and where allowed to visit our classrooms ( everything seamed so small ) We where encouraged to dress up , so a lot of us did DJs and the ladies in ball gowns and cocktail dresses , fabulous night The other 2 big ones where smaller and 2 yrs apart , we have occasionally had reunions since but they tent to be in a local pub 😊

A lot of Brits have watched so much American films and TV shows that we're kinda bilingual. You'd have to go back to 80s references before it would throw us. And since American film is so prolific compared to every other country in the world (except perhaps the French), I bet a lot of other countries are familiar with Americanisms and American culture too.

hi guys great reaction this is a true story about the shatter proof rulers, it also fit in with the sun on the watch. i can confess it was a true story because this was me it happened to. This was around 1973-74, cant rember what year i was in, Anyway, shatterproof rulers were a thing in them days, i have not idea why, maybe they wuld not break in your bag, they started coming out in many clolours and designs, I had one that had a maze on it, small silver ball, you had to get from start to finish. I was sitting next to window sun was out, realised i could direct the sun from my ruler in to the teachers eyes, He got upset figured out it was me, came to my table to take my ruler of me He was saying give me the ruler, every time i went to hand to him, i pulled the ruler away, after the 4th time pulling the ruler away, he got a grip of it, and struck me over my face with it, hitting just above my eyebrow, causing a 2 inch cut, also the ruler shatter, so it was not shatter proof. i started bleeding badly into my eyes. i was told to go see the nurse. The nurse was not in school, but up the other school, which we had on site, for the handicaped, mental health, downs syndrome that sort of school. i was told the nurse was up there, so i walked up there, blood running down my face, but the nature of the school, all doors were locked, no intercom in them days, so i started walking round the school looking for and open door looking in windows. You can now imagine, people with mental health, im bleeding all ove my face, banging on windows, these students freaked out, was like a horro film to them, alot of screaming and crying. people going to asked what happened to teacher, well nothing, in them days it was your fault, swept under the rug, i went home my parents asked what happened, meeting with the head teacher, nothing happened, my father was the manager, of the biggest furniture factory in the town and supplied the school free of charge all the wood for the wood work classes., he stopped that, 3 weeks later another meeting it was sorted, ball in my caught now, i sat and did nothing for a year and got all A's True story
