American Reacts to Peter Kay Misheard Lyrics

This is Peter Kay ... he rose to fame through an excellent British TV show called "Phoenix NIghts" - where he plays a working class nightclub owner. The style of the show was almost like Spinal Tap for working-class nightclubs! A pseudo-documentary. He's brilliant - both in the show, and on the stage.

[@louisavevers9709]

@@stephenpeacock2627 a lot of it has to be explained, which takes the humour out of it.

[@troublingleaf]

From what I've witnessed they seem to get most of the humour in our comedies, except where we use different words, and they are usually pretty blown away. From my experience what they don't tend to get is our banter, but we can be pretty brutal in that area, they can be offended by things we think nothing of because they just don't realise we're only having a laugh!

a fool isn't a bad term in his intention, the joker is a fool so in essence he is just laughing at peter Kay for being a joker, silly, funny etc.

I'm fairly sure by the context that a fool is a compliment here! US and British English have general differences everyone knows about, but just like us, the Americans have regional dialect differences too. This might be something like that.

The Michael Jackson joke "he should be here now" is because the date of this Peter Kay show was actually already taken by Michael Jackson for the "This is it" but obviously passed away before.

[@lyncohn9505]

A stupid internet myth. This was filmed at the 02, Jackson was due to play there on july 13th 2009, Kay played the venue for 15 nights starting on 7th Nov 2010, 16 months after Jacksons death

[@2eleven48]

@@lyncohn9505 ...There is no connivance. Kay makes it clear that Jackson was supposed to have appeared, but doesn't say when. In short, he was referencing that Jackson WOULD have appeared in 2009 if not for his death.

Observational comedy has been booming here in the last 20-30 years and he's one of the best at it. His "Live at the Bolton Albert Halls" video is timeless. Michael Mcintyre's standups are also top notch (world's highest grossing stand-up comedian 2012) and worth checking out. If you don't mind borderline insulting/disgusting then try a little Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle. Whatever you watch, keep having fun!

[@Chris-kj7de]

A bit of trivia on the language barrier: In Peter's Ethiopian joke, "pork pie" sounds more like "poke pie" to Americans, which is why our reactors often appear to be struggling with what Peter Kay is saying and why it is funny. One other thing: American reactors don't necessarily know what a vicar is, which is why "staple the vicar" joke isn't always as successful as it should be. I lived for a few years across the Pond, which helps.
