Rising Damp "Black Magic" Reaction

[@denseljosephs9500]

One of my Jamaican dad's favourite programmes this and Morecambe and wise I'll never forget my dad's laughter .He has alzheimer's now so the memories are precious to me.

[@kevingrant7098]

I do love rising damp but Morecambe and wise I have never found it to be funny

[@AllMy78s]

You are one of the few Americans who have worked out what Philip is doing... 👍👍👍👍

[@maureen348]

At the end of the last show we find out that Philip was born only twenty miles up the road and is playing them all.

[@paulrichards6894]

the 2 actors were great friends off screen...squash partners..........

[@garybland9327]

Don Warrington is possibly the finest actor working today. Simply sublime and immposible not to watch.

[@bluesmaster9896]

Philip was my favourite character in this . It's more a class disparity here . Philip was upper middle and Rigsby and Alan are working class .They all seem to share a sense of humour .

[@paulrichards6894]

the writer always had Philip coming out on top....think the writer got the rigsby character to like or even be fond of Philip by the end of the show

[@paulrichards6894]

and off screen they became good friends...and of course, len rossiter and frances delatour were not great friends.....though that was more politics than anything else

[@peterweeks2066]

Don Warrington is still as excellent as ever playing the Commissioner of Police in Death in Paradise. The 11th series is currently premiering in the UK

[@pigknickers2975]

Mate, this is great to see you get so into this. It's cool to see it through your eyes. This is probably one of the best sitcoms ever made. Could you have a look at Porridge one time? It has Richard Beckinsale in it. Hi from London 😁😁😁

[@j0hnf_uk]

Philip, in this episode, is having both Rigsby and Alan on. He's playing into their misconceptions about him, perfectly. Although, Alan does cotton-on and plays along.

[@julesb3430]

I didn't think Americans got our humour but you really do Jay Peezy

Miss Jones - Frances De:La Tour - played the headmistress of the girl's school in the Harry Potter films

[@ajivins1]

Can't remember if I mentioned this but the last time I saw Francis De La Tour (Miss Jones) was in 'The Book of Eli' with Denzel Washington!

[@stircrazysos]

Top show, great cast. They all meld together.

[@ajivins1]

The characters were so well done, great writing. Rigsby was ignorant and jingo-istic but wasn't really that bad a person, just limited. Philip was so cool.

[@Sara_Kane]

@@ajivins1 Yep. Rigsby was very ignorant but not hateful.

[@toxigenic]

I just remembered there was a song called "Knock Three Times on the Ceiling if You Want Me." I wonder if that came out before or after this episode.

[@charliegirl3056]

Your amusement is infectious 🤣 from England

[@barriemoorcroft534]

Delighted you watch this and enjoy it. Your reactions videos are perfect - the full episode and only speaking when you feel compelled to and letting the video play out. Keep up the great work.

[@ToxicScifi]

gum boots are wellington boots, in poorer parts of england espsechily the north it was common for them to be worn a lot of the year due to the constant cold wet weather. (gum comes from the fact they were mostly constructed of rubber also in the uk the main selling brand was dunlop, now known for there tyres)

[@nickelljohnson3745]

After all these years I’m still one of Rising damps biggest fans. I can’t get enough of this show. It never disappoints me and it never fails to me make me laugh. I really do miss this god damn show. Keep them coming Jay Peezy. Respect! 🇬🇧👊💯

[@WynnJ]

I am so happy to see your reaction to this show. It's on the edge and so ill informed. But on purpose. It really was typical of the day. Good luck to ye ✌️❤️🇮🇪

[@dannycheesums]

Hey bro I’ve never seen this show before and I’ve decided to watch it along with you. It’s pretty good so far. The characters are all pretty much like people you would really meet in the uk when I was growing up hah

[@13thcentury]

Lol, Philip was revealed to have bee born in Croydon 🤣😂😅

[@ashiko7376]

Shows like this were ahead of their time in the UK in terms of takling issues like racism. Racism is still a very big issue in the United States like you mentioned Jay. What American shows (past or present) deal with racism in a comical way like this?

[@ajivins1]

I can only think of Diff'rent Strokes and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air although they did versions of Alf Garnett and Steptoe.

[@fitfinlay999]

I love how you observe and comment on these shows ❤️

[@AndyRaysWorld]

Love your reactions man , you have a great sense of humour . Keep up the great work 😀👌

great reactions jay cant wait for more. Hope your subscriber base grows fast

[@richy2351]

I'll always have respect for Richard Beckinsale, if only for making Kate 😍

[@staceykeeley4219]

Poor Richard he died so young. He was also brilliant in Porridge.

[@stuartrodger9243]

Subscribed just cos I never thought a American would like Rising Damp ,respect on that ,glad you noticed Philip takes the piss and is not a victim or you disagree?? Look forward to future posts ,good man 🤘Oh do you know it's Kate Beckinsale dad Richard, died to young 😢

[@Ian-lx1iz]

Nah - let's NOT just get to the show, man. I love your reactions, Jay Peezy - and more than that I appreciate your opinions on issues: I'd like to hear more. You can put across serious observations in such a pleasant and understandable way. (the World needs more people like you, doing the talking)

[@GUYFAIRCLOGH88]

I love your reactions, they're brilliant, you've clearly got a very good sense of humor and are able to see past the attitudes of the past, if only people's ignorance wasn't still prevalent today, i do love how that show was poking fun at the stupidity of racists and their beliefs. Keep up the good work.

[@stephenhumphrey7935]

Listening to this, I think the dude is racist himself, what with comments like BBC (no not the BBC TV channel) and once you go black you don't go back, can you imagine if a white person said something like that?

You took the words out of my mouth that was hilarious

[@errolcollins7647]

I love rising damp, every time i see this episode when they are banging on the floor and miss jones comes running up, it reminds me of a song that came out maybe in the 70,s.

What a wonderful legacy he left behind with Kate and Samantha, so sad they lost him so very young😪

You might want to check one of the best black British comedians "Lenny henry" (aka Sir Lenworth George). He did some pretty amazing stuff in the 80s and 90s (and later).

[@kevingrant7098]

I love Lenny Henry but not so much lover of him as a comedian apart from the comedy chef I did like that

[@lisab3396]

😱😎🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now that was bloody funni 😆🤣

[@cerbie70]

Great content Jay. Some of the shows from the 'bad' old days were more 'woke' in a positive way than the BS stuff we have to deal with now. Some people see the old shows to point and call them out as racist for the speech and attitudes seen as unacceptable (don't show it. Bury it. Cancelled), but it actually holds a mirror up to the viewing public and shows a reflection of who we are/were as a society. An award winning sketch from the BBC comedy show 'Goodness Gracious Me' was 'Going for an English', this was a role reversal reflection of the native white UK people going out on a Friday/Saturday night for an Indian curry after/during a night on the drink. Good stuff. And I saw some of my young ignorant self in that sketch. I'm a much better human now (I'm in my 50s). Keep up the reviews. 😀

White chick from UK been canerowing my hair and black peoples' hair for 25 years and the last few years I've got people telling me I'm racist for wearing it. They think they're being progressive but they're not. I hope this "cultural appropriaiton" thing goes away. Copying cultures is what unites people and removes misconceptions of the other and brings admiration for those practices.

[@O.O.O.K999]

Spoiler - sort of - at the very end of all the series, it turns out that Philip is not the son of a chief, he was born in the UK. I think it makes it all even funnier when you know that. Also, people need to understand, that unlike the USA, there were very few black people in the UK back then, so they were regarded as exotic and what is seen as racist now, was often just curiosity. In the three years I spent at a teacher training college in Liverpool in the early 1970's there was only one black student - and many of the girls were very keen to date him!!!

[@FHIPrincePeter]

Wrong actress.

[@silicononsapphire5102]

The backfire for TV racism was rife in the late 70's. I loved every minute of it. As a young punk 76-77 we drank with all the minorities (if thats what you want to call them). We fought for them and we fought with them. All due respect. Vote Rigsby.

[@Muckylittleme]

Are you loving every minute of the mass rape and murder now? There is a big difference between controlled immigration of the 70's and mass immigration now.

It was a great show, it ridiculed prejudice, bigotry, and exposed it for what it is, rigsby being the embodiment of the xenophobic , bigoted individual , brilliantly played by Leonard rossiter

[@Strange_Club]

My favourite episode is Pink Carnations.

[@fitfinlay999]

So cute 🥰

[@herseem]

Jay I was going to include a link to an educational film from Ww2 for US soldiers to explain to them that the British didn't have segregatiion, which was quite a cute film when I saw it some years ago. I didn't find it. However, while looking for it I instead found a documentary about the reality of what it was like for black US soldiers stationed in the UK, because of the behaviour of white US soldiers. I just got into a rage watching it, but in case you want to see it, here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJO1aaR6gaZ0oZo

[@Isleofskye]

The difference between 99% of Males that do fight and 99% of Women who do fight is incredible. Nearly always after a hard-fought fight the beef is forgotten and each fighter respects the warrior that is his opponent not only is the matter closed but they often become friends but with Women, their animosity and anger could, literally, last a lifetime. There is no compassion for the loser.No "gentlemanly" conduct and no honour at all. Even here, instead of taking her victory gracefully, she starts screaming bitch to the woman she beat...
