American Reacts to Art Attack (2005 Christmas Special)

[@sharonmichelle3147]

Noah that wasn't Neil nor Macca singing. That was Shakin' Stevens, he was very popular in the 80's and that song gets played all the time at christmas...every single shop plays it over and over again. :)

[@jase6709]

A UK Christmas songs reaction sounds like a good idea... You've clearly been missing out on some Christmas bangers 😏

Love all things Neil did in Art Attack especially Christmas specials! The one he did in 1998 while in New York city making a Santa and Reindeer picture on the buildings using controlled lights was brilliant! Check that one out!

[@bigthecat100]

Kind of surprised you haven't heard Shakin' Stevens - 'Merry Christmas Everyone' before, over here it's been replayed every year just as much as 'Fairytale of New York' or 'All I Want for Christmas is You' since the mid 80s! I can sort of see the Paul McCartney comparison in his vocals, however Stevens made intentionally retro 50s rock & roll style music in the 80s, so I suppose his sound was a bit of a mix between McCartney and Elvis?

[@KRPTV]

I loved Art Attack as a child, apart from that talking head statue which used to creep me out big time! The Christmas episode that I remember though is one where he travelled to New York and managed to create a spectacular picture of Father Christmas from the building lights on the New York skyline. Best one he has done by far in my opinion.🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄

Didn't know Art Attack was still on in 2005. It was essential viewing as a kid in the early 90s. Nice to see a later episode from when I was too old for it. Still has the same charm as the older ones.

[@Sara_Kane]

It's amazing to think I was still in primary school when it first started, but was well into my 20's by the time it ended. It just shows how great a show it was though, that it ran for as long as it did. 2 generations of kids got to grow up watching this classic, Neil was a true star of children's telly from our time, no doubt.

@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches quality dad joke.

@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches Sheesh...😂🙃

[@VeggieGamer]

Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin' Stevens is like the only Christmas song I genuinely like! XD A real classic over here in the UK! Great video, man!

[@Wilss]

That Shakin' Stevens song was a Christmas Number 1 in the UK.

[@xIDarkSideIx]

Now this takes me back to UK CITV after school as a kid loved this show and SMart on CBBC

[@joannedwyer4755]

Hi noah, love your comments during the vids. Art attack was just the best.

[@stevemorganexperience7833]

Just here to add to the sixty comments telling you it’s shakin stevens. Not surprised you don’t know him, he was an eighties pop star who dressed like elvis and sang bebop songs in an American accent, he was popular at the time

[@jonathancole833]

Before his musical career he trained as a surgeon and bomb disposal expert, but wasn’t suited for either profession.

[@roberthindle5146]

There seemed to be a fad in the 90s for those big floor art pieces on children's TV. I used to think, who it would benefit if we were to replicate? Pilots? People in high-rise buildings? Angels?

[@areasquirrel]

Aw, I was hoping for the New York episode! Still, hadn't seen this from right at the end of the show's life, so it was good.

[@littlemissdolittle6940]

"Pancake sandwich" 🤣 that's what I'll always call a Victoria sponge cake from now on

[@marlastrongbow]

This nonsense was my childhood :') it'd be great to see more reactions!

[@nat3007]

I loved art attack as a child. I also liked How 2 which was sort of the science version of art attack.

[@Sara_Kane]

Neil was in a hard rock/metal band called Marseille, so they definitely wouldn't have been responsible for the timeless Shaky classic! 😂 I adored Art Attack as a kid, even though I was rubbish at art myself. I absolutely marvelled st his immense artistic talent, it made Art Attack one of the best kids shows around when I was growing up. Thanx for the reaction, would love to see more Art Attack reactions if possible!

[@InterMalager]

This show must have been responsible for so much mess in peoples houses, I bet parents hated it

[@BenBanjo87]

The best Art Attack Christmas episodes were in the 1990s. I'd love to see a reaction to one of those sometime!!

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Thoroughly enjoyed this, envious of his artwork too.

[@pearlkelly6337]

I find it cool that Neil lives like 5 mins from me but I bet I have walked past him and not twigged on that it was him haha, im glad you have reacted to this, i loved it as a kid but i never had the stuff to make the stuff he made lol

[@KRPTV]

As a child I made a few attempts at making some of the stuff that Neil made but I'd usually get bored and give up after five minutes! The problem was I never owned any PVA glue which was used quite a lot in the show!😁😁🎄🎄🎄

[@Sara_Kane]

As a kid, I used to refer to the PVA glue Neil used on the show as "school glue", as that was the glue we used at my school. 😂🙃

[@KT926]

My favourite xmas song is "I wish it could be Christmas everyday" by Wizzard. I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid, I liked being creative but I'm terrible at art

[@FrenchFriesrGood]

I can't believe you never heard of shakin' Stephens' merry Christmas everyone

[@rwlynch3468]

How was your first Art Attack pre pandemic? I genuinely remember it like it was a few months ago.

[@millerhxc]

The "discount Paul McCartney" is actually "discount Elvis", aka Shakin' Stevens.

[@kayjackson3888]

Omg I loved this show, so much mess, so much fun

[@phillipbishop5419]

Well best I can do stick people. But love watching art show like this.

Great tv show he is a great artist i made an art attack game in the playstation game dreams.

[@AndrewHalliwell]

That was Shakin ' Stevens

[@kickstart_1.3]

This reminds me, you don't Christmas crackers in the staes, do you? That might actually be true everywhere outside the UK.

[@kickstart_1.3]

You don't suck at it, It's just one of those things that takes years of practice. But I do get a "rest of the fucking owl" vibe from this.

[@chrishaddow5644]

Where was head 😂 only reason I watched art attack
