There is an American comedian in the UK called Reginald D Hunter. He has been known to make fun of the British and is well liked for it. Being able to laugh at yourself or accept others making a joke about you is a good thing.

@@johnsaunders2109 Two things:- 1. In what way did I compare Reginald D Hunter to Al Murray? 2. I think Reginald D Hunter is a pretty funny guy. You are entitled to find Reginald D Hunter unfunny, humour is a very personal thing, which is why I find him funny and you don't. However, I'm a bit baffled as to why you wish to tell me that I can't compare him to Al Murray, when I made no such comparison.

What a lot of non-Brits fail to appreciate is that British humour like this is as much about poking fun at ourselves as it is about the more obvious "target." (Self-deprecation has been honed to a fine art here in dear ol' Blighty!) Nice to see a reaction from someone who seems to get that!

Nice to see a Yank not taking themselves too seriously or being offended by a little gentle piss taking. To be honest if a Brit takes the piss out of you or calls you something offensive, it is usually a sign they like you. When the Brits are treating you with obvious politeness and courtesy, that's the time to worry!! 😂😂

You’re quickly becoming one of my favourite reactors due to your easy going attitude while reacting to stuff that could rub the average American the wrong way. I’m glad you like Al Murray, in this skin he’s a very intelligent man masquerading as a bigoted pub landlord. Pub landlords were notoriously over opinionated back in the good old days but had an amazing way with words so every scathing outburst was cushioned by some awesome turn of phrase. Anyway, looking forward to all your new stuff. Stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻

.... ' If I get offended by something , shame on me ' .... Wow, this guy gets it. He is way ahead of most Americans. He also gets our self deprecating humour ....... this is not common in a lot of Yanks. They can come across as so 2 dimensional, too blinkered and straight. ........... It is quite right that we can critique the world at times. But as this small nation of ours did have the Greatest Empire the world has ever known and such a small country we have produced more history changing inventions and innovations per capita than any other country and we stand up for what we believe and not wait years to join the fight against evil ( 1st and 2nd WW ... ) we have been around for a very long time ... so this gives us an allowance to have an opinion ........ so the Brits and the Yanks are not the same ........ but we're pretty close ..... and pretty damned good together. So we'll relish our differences and celebrate our similarities .... and yes, Laugh at ourselves and each other. x

Great reaction to this vid mate, at the end when you mention about him playing a character is why he's so brilliant, He's portraying the average blokes that we all grew up listening to or overhearing in the pub across England over the past 20+years. & the humour is really not from a place/sense of arrogance or superiority complex, but from just growing up in an environment where being social and having a laugh together at the pub or at each others houses was the highlight to the end a hard weeks work. Being able to wind eachother up & take the piss out of eachother to a point was what we grew up with. Just having a laugh about whatever you can find something to make a joke or take the piss out of, that's real British sense of humour, being able to laugh at anything, everyone and yourself most importantly.

Al Murrays knowledge and understanding of history and geography is actually very impressive. If you haven't seen it already, I'd recommend watching a clip called 'Name a Country... We've Defeated Them', where he asks the audience to yell out names of countries, and using his knowledge of history, explains how the English 'beat' them. Sometimes it's in a very round-about way, but that's where his knowledge really shines through!

Many British comedians like to gently poke fun at everyone, as well as ourselves.The humour is not intended to be vicious. Try looking for a song by Flanders and Swann, two musical comedy song performers from the 1950s and 60s. They sang "A song of patriotic prejudice", pointing out stereotypes from everywhere close to us. Also check out his take on bacon. That monologue is hilarious. You can find it on You Tube. "Bacon....proof that God exists."

Glad you enjoyed it. Our sense of humour could so easily be mis-understood by some Americans, but you got it. You should find an American comic who does the reverse and takes the piss out of us in an equally clever way. Most of us would not be offended and would most likely agree with it. It's called not taking ourselves too seriously!

The great thing about Al Murray, he can bring a pub atmosphere to a crowd without being in a pub, if he was a real pub landlord (and we were allowed in pubs, for you folks in 2042 it's still lockdown here in 2021, ask your history teacher) I'd be at the bar every night, the public speaking landlord of the local public house, my local used to have a landlord with a similar sense of humour but without the boldness and delivery, one of the best British comedians without doubt, not too insultive, clever punch lines that can be quickly worked out where they came from and he's teaching you at the same time!! Worth more than the admission fee you pay to see him for sure!!

Amongst a veritable sea of reaction video's, it is very welcome indeed to watch one where an American hears the humour, how cleverly constructed and how the audience are masterfully manipulately yet doesn't get all butt-hurt because it's his country being slated.
