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

[@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 😂

[@galesito1733]

"I wanna moonwalk son, but life's a shithouse". One of my favourite lines from the show.

[@newuk26]

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

[@pabrennan6877]

Got me too! Ha

[@patrickmaloney6440]

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

[@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'

[@davidktd]

“We do cruises. Hull to Rotterdam”. The Hull to Rotterdam is an overnight Ferry

[@vallejomach6721]

'Our very own Davros' - When Potter gets wheeled into the Robot Wars room Ray Von calls him Davros...as in creator of the Daleks in Dr Who...lower half dalek, upper half mangled and weird old looking fella.

[@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

[@tick999]

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

[@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

[@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 !

[@WhipLashJimmyFrank]

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

[@garrychivers4807]

citizens advice is a free advice service for the public throughout the UK. NUS is a card given to students allowing discounts in pubs and food outlets.

[@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

[@stevek3036]

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

[@laverdajota8089]

Was it really,

[@777petew]

You guys are definitely part of us Brits. I've said it before. You might stumble a bit on the odd colloqialism, but you get it lightening quick. Because you're in tune with the laughs and comedy. Americans just give blank looks as it goes over their heads. Thanks again.

[@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.

[@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.

[@flea1972]

Yes that was Buck Rodgers theme. 😂🤣👍

[@flea1972]

... Rogers

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

It's such a joy watching these with you!

[@michaelyoung7802]

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

[@christophercarr3755]

Thats max and paddy and their serious max and paddy's road to nowhere is even better, love see you guys react to it

[@heathertaylor-nicholson9387]

NUS stands for the National Student's Union that has a discount card for it's members and it's not uncommon to check if a venue, shop etc will accept it.

[@frankbevan413]

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

[@HARRi81_UK]

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

[@carlmarch9591]

I’m from Norwich in the east of England but I love our English northern humour brilliant

[@tick999]

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

[@donaldduck2139]

it's not about how good you are, it's how hard you try...a bit of company on the weekend is all some crave and shows like that keep the lonely coming back. . . what an awesome show, don't know how many times the dog kept coming in to see what I was laughing at

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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👏👏👌✌️🍻

[@chasbikeravda3933]

Series 2, can't remember which episode, but Potter gets stuck overnight on his stairlift due to a power cut, just brilliant. Can't wait to see your reaction to it.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@spencerjarvis2899]

NUS is national union of students, a card students are issued to get discounts of goods and entry to clubs etc.

[@mrmoran0077]

[@owensamuel6671]

[@stephencommon2806]

Prior to the colonoscopy I'm sure I heard the dj on the hospital radio station say 'we'll come in your ear' !

[@pwaccount]

Love that. We call a workies, (working mens club) the legion as well.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

In 70s, loved Shawaddywaddy 🇬🇧👵

[@simonkirk3067]

Welcome to the great british delight of the double entendre

[@CatFluff-pm6qr]

" Brew" is a cup of tea here in Lancashire where this is based😘🇬🇧

[@JacknVictor]

You would think these types of plaxes were on the decline, but no. Quite the opposite. There's literally thousands of places like this the length and breadth of the whole of the UK. I know because we supply them, and I've been members of quite a few. Very prevalent in the south too. I've been a member of two in Dagenham when I've lived there. I've visited associated clubs in North Wales. These types of clubs are doing better than pubs and nightclubs. It's Mainly down to two reasons, they are usually within a short walking distance, and you can get cheaper drinks. Quite a lot of them you can still get a pint for under £3. So yes, these places exist more than people think they do. And there is a royal legion in almost every town that serves the ex forces and their families in more ways than just supplying a social club. And phoenix nights has gotten the atmosphere in these places down to a 'T'. Even now, 20 years later. Also, did anyone notice that it was "Bat out of Hell" playing over the old couple dancing at the end?

[@danieldunne68]

Lol😂 still love you guys, still watching.

[@davidhall7811]

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

[@watgaz518]

Best line ever, how far away are they, 24 carat 👌🥇👍🤣😂

[@charlotteharvey836]

I have had a good time in the Canadian Legion in Bay Roberts😁😁

[@davekenny8774]

Death by chocolate made out of a Celebrations tin. Genius.

[@JAY61ish]

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

[@clintelliott3175]

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

[@beesfoot]

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

[@fade.2.black.ffd8ff]

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

[@robertmarriott6767]

Correct that was the Buck Rogers theme tune

[@mikeymikeFType]

Coming in your ear 😂

[@paulhollett8415]

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

[@kildogery]

Hilarious pathos. Kay is a genius.

[@beesfoot]

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

[@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 😂

[@Dee-l2g]

Hope you 👀 this! You have similar tastes to myself Phoenix Nights 👌 Time Gentleman Please ain't for everyone but it's quality too.👌 Remember ALTERNATIVE COMEDY at the Funny Farm? I would like to recommend the Mighty Boosh again not everyone's cup of tea but I think you'll enjoy it! I'd describe is as psychedelic type comedy 😂

[@Dee-l2g]

Washing his old man in the sink, refers to his love length, "you took ya dad" 🤔

[@Tonyblack261]

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

[@HandleDeezNutzVoluntarily]

By brew Paddy meant a cup of tea…

[@matthewdove3520]

Love being from the uk 🤣

[@helvete983]

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

[@bradlucy]

Yes, in a very tight space suit 😜

[@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.

[@cheryltotheg2880]

NUS is a student discount card xx

[@user-zw8vr1vt8o]

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

[@dontalkt2meboutheros]

Sushi, Roy Fish off the estate.

[@McLintox]

Tattoo - Hervé Villechaize

[@markcutting6504]

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

[@gazzzzza911]

You two fucking crack me up - get yourselves over to England for a meet up

[@rogergriffiths5631]

Another great series😂

[@martynlucas2691]

The joke about being made to wash his 'old man' in the sink, 'old man' is slang for his penis!

[@lilacfiddler1]

National UNION of Students

[@kildogery]

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

[@Tykewarrior]

You missed ‘Sushi…Roy (raw) Fish from the estate’.. 7:15

[@markcutting6504]

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

[@davidswan3610]

brilliant !

[@TheCheshireCat2190]

I can't believe you didn't watch all the episodes, clinton baptise was absolutely hilarious

[@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

[@jamesbatten8659]

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

[@stievboyo636]

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

[@nessa8389]

You should watch drunk horse phoenix nights episode xx

[@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.

[@rikspilz4991]

Is that Bond at the end?

[@Englishman_in_China]

Roy Fish😭

[@supernovaleftover1812]

Bidi Bidi Bidi Bidi.

[@bblair2627]
