The Armstrong and Miller Show | Best Of The RAF Pilots

In their eternal wisdom the BBC produced this gem of comedy. How did they help the artists to develop their talent and their ideas? How? Well, they ignored Miller apart from allowing him to appear occasionally on QI or radio. Armstrong, well they treated him a bit better, they gave him a BBC contract. As a comedy actor? No. As a Comedian? No. He is now the presenter of "Pointless" - the show that makes every other show look like fun. Featuring Richard Osman, a clone produced in a laboratory funded by the BBC's black projects.

[@georgielancaster1356]

If they are cloning Richard Osman, there will be about half a million orders put in by women. I don't know how many gay orders. He is tremendously fast witted, really wide depth of knowledge and well read. As far as I know, sound in politics. If there was a population of 25% Richard Osmans in UK, it would be far better off than now. Just have to outcross a lot, to other countries, for breeding. Might add 6" to height of population, too.

[@skillarchy81]

[@AstroMartine]

I love how the whole point of the WW2 pilots sketches is to show how European(in this case British) men have downgraded since those generations. They've basically tried to show how two mediocre "millennials" or generation y men would act in that setting. So many men who fought in the war were more mature at 24 than the average 35-year-old man today. It is hilarious, but bitter-sweet too.

[@vmm5163]

Maybe Britain should treat young people like the adults they are before the age of 26. They recieve the adult wage at *26* years old. It's ridiculous. In the past they were in full time employment at 14. We cannot keep babying young adults then complain when they don't have the skills to be mature and independent in their late 20s and beyond. We're raising incompetant adults who never grow up

[@MrGlewYouTubeChangedMyHandle]

And I ain't even lying and shit.

[@thediesel4475]

Mr Glew The National Curriculum in the UK was introduced in 1989 by the Tory party. Every Education Secretary between 1979 and 1997 was a Conservative, or a Liberal Democrat or Conservative from 2010 to the present. And, whilst they may not have been perfect, I don’t think you could call the Labour Governments from 1997-2010 ‘degenerate Commies’. Just saying that if this is a satire on the inadequacy of modern men, they have largely been educated by a regime under the control of a right wing government. Isn’t it though?

It seems a great many of viewers seem to miss the main point of these two characters? It's interesting that they find it funny without understanding the joke properly? We shouldn't forget that the young men who flew in the Battle of Britain are the same people who now talk and act as these two, just seventy years apart. The OP states "Though they fought in the World War II, though don't sound like it!" in the introduction. Apply the same statement, but from the other end and it becomes "How would modern youth have behaved in WW2?" A&M are saying they would be hopeless. Sorry, but I had to say because I watched three 21(ish)yo lads laughing at these sketches the other day. Which left me wondering which is the scarier reason, that they were too stupid to see the satire or that they could not care less.

[@LuDux]

Same age people fought for Hitler

[@PaddyInf]

I agree to a point, but it isn't fair to write off a generation. I have worked with and led many extremely brave and dedicated young soldiers in some of the worst fighting since Korea. They go out on the piss, get into fights in town and give me no end of welfare and discipline issues when not deployed. They will often be late for parade, try to skive when given jobs and will complain about everything. However once on tour they are the epitome of excellence. They will show focus and aggression, and they just get on with the task at hand no matter how bone. It does them a disservice to assume otherwise.

[@thediesel4475]

PickleUke Is that the same snowflake generation which has challenged sexual harassment and assault in the workplace, campaigned to have the climate crisis treated with greater urgency, helped fight extremism and terrorists (both as soldiers and civilians), acted to reduce the use of single-use plastic, founding organisations that challenge bullying and help the targets of bullying stand up to the bullies, campaigned for the rights of young females to an education, worked to help children escape slavery (one notable campaigner was assassinated at the age of 13 because of his work in this field), used social media to bring the world’s attention to atrocities in Syria, acted as advocates for LGBTQIA individuals, introducing projects to support both local producers and bee populations, raised over £1 million for cancer sufferers (before dying from her own cancer at the age of 8), launching eco-friendly fashion houses, inventing devices to detect pancreatic cancer, designing prosthetic limbs that are over two hundred times cheaper to produce (and then making the design free to download for anyone who has access to a 3D printer; the list goes on and on and on! Yes, there are those that are soft, lazy, self-centred and self-indulgent, just as there have been throughout human history (check out the 12 Caesar’s for example), but to dismiss an entire generation as snowflakes in favour of some mythical ‘golden generation’ is a mistake.

This was originally performed by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in a different context - they translated a motown song into English, the song being "Mamma's got a Brand New Bag." It was hilarious as these are. The thing that's brilliant about the Armstrong & Miller ones is that they show how idiotic modern day English has become. We don't hear it, or it's not as obvious when said with a British-cockney accent, but it sounds ludicrous when said with a the stereotypical upper-class British accent. It's hilarious!!
