The Definitive Malcolm Tucker Rant Anthology | The Thick Of It | REACTION

[@Concreteowl]

He isn't even the angriest Scotsman in the series.

[@deborahshort579]

Scotland uses the C world A LOT, but is actually an affectioned term here 🎉

Peter Capaldi, one of the few actors that can make me laugh like no other with his performances. I absolutely love all his characters, whether it's Doctor Who, Malcolm Tucker or other great ones he portrays. I'm always quite in awe of his talent, even as a sweary Director of Communications. Not an easy role, I think. This show is still terribly underrated. Literally every single character/actor did an amazing job. And the writing is just superb! Really happy that he got an award Best Performance in a Comedy show. He absolutely deserved it. Anyhow, what I love even more about watching this show is people like you laughing alongside it and having a good time haha. Great reaction! Keep it up 🙌🏼

He was also good in Torchwood season 3.

He's hilarious af. Peter Capaldi is a legend.

[@peterd788]

Malcolm Tucker is one of the greatest characters ever written and so is the show. HBO's Veep is written by the same man and is essentially the American version of The Thick of It.

[@akeel_1701]

Sadly Veep didn't have Malcolm Tucker

[@nikdik154]

And what a perfect video to acknowledge the cuss words on your channel. Totally worth it. But you should keep it, it feels natural.

That's the best description of Star Wars I've ever heard!

[@bestboyholland3217]

Omg hi again, I've never seen someone react to anything about this show. I love it. Thanks ♡

[@lauradawson7964]

The Thick of It is a fantastically written show and well worth watching. Malcolm steals the show but there are a number of wonderfully funny characters (shout out to Jamie, another angry, sweary Scot).

[@Myne1001]

Jamie is brilliant. Malcolm is angry and swears but that's because he's trying to get a bunch of incompetent politicians & their aides in line. Jamie is just straight up psychopathic.

[@barblessable]

Peter Capaldi is a fine actor /director ,Tucker is supposed to be based on Alistair Campbell who was Tony Blair's spin doctor , the Ron Jeremy line .....I had to rewind I laughed so much.

[@hatjodelka]

A pretty good artist too.

[@chrisevans6548]

They didn't show it in this video, but the birthday cake turned out to be from the Prime Minister 😂

[@shikarifox4337]

And hilarious in the next scene to go passed people and offer it with a gleeful "c--- cake?"

[@djcobaltjester1010]

'He will fook you harder than Ron Jeramy, but with less warmth'. One og my fave Malcolm lines. I see lots of reactors getting requests for the full show. TBH if you are not from the UK most of it will make no sense. It's basically a satire on how UK Government is ran. It follows a tiny group of the government called DoSac, Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship. While it's obvious you get some of the Malcolm Tucker abuse the rest of the show might be hard to follow unless you follow international politics and even then that probably will not help as it focuses on that one tiny insignificant office. Malcolm is the government's and Prime Minister's 'fixer'. Here in the UK we call them a 'Spin Doctor', I'm sure you have them and they're called something along those lines.

[@causti9744]

I found it difficult to keep up with all accents and some slang but what they do and what they mess up was pretty clear to me. But yea it's not a show you can easily show to many people.

[@josheldridge8546]

i love how shortly after the announcement of peter capaldi as the 13th doctor someone edited some thick of it clips as part of a doctor who promo ("it's the fcsking future! we can download rice!"). but the entire dressing-down malcolm gave that one dude ("air crash investigation team" + "wear it to your mother's birthday") is aspirational. capaldi said that he would have people coming up to him, requesting that he tell them to f off-- and as much as he wanted to, he would always politely decline.

[@grahambuckerfield4640]

If you have heard of HBO’s series ‘Veep’ this is from the creators of that show. Tucker is the British Prime Minister’s media advisor/government department’ enforcer, partly based on PM Blair’s advisor Alistair Campbell. The show ran on the BBC from 2005 to 2012 with short series and specials.

[@heliotropezzz333]

I sat on the bus next to Peter Capaldi a few days ago.

[@ak99uk]

The film "In the Loop" would be a good introduction to Malcolm Tucker.

[@frankrappa4765]

He's basically the 12th Doctor but more R rated or TV-MA 🤣

[@londonmeantime7123]

How many people fell off their chair laughing when you said you don’t know the character and haven’t watched the show? …Buckle up we’re not in Kansas anymore😂😂😂

[@RobertShippey]

I think there’s an interview with the show’s writer where he says they had a quota limit of how many C words they could use per series 😅

[@DannySuls]

FYI, "The Tick Of It" is on Netflix. But you probably need to use a VPN to set your location to the UK before it's visible to you.

[@londonmeantime7123]

In Scotland the C word is a term of endearment…😂

[@ToddReacts]

That’s so cool to me 🤣

[@danic9304]

Oh what? Tucker rants? hell yeah!

[@5uperhands]

There are a lot of cultural and language barriers to overcome here, and hey, a Scottish accent. You done good kid :)

[@tomj819]

James Addison said they had an agreement with the producers when writing that for every "c**t" in the script they'd take out ten "f**k"s... 😂

[@olivefernando7879]

aww they missed the bit where he offers people some of his birthday cake and calls it 'c*nt cake' and they don't know it had the word written on it, so their faces are just like, why is it called that? oh i'm not touching that

[@somthingbrutal]

cunt is a very popular word in Scotland not always in a bad away either

[@somthingbrutal]

@@ToddReacts its cultural ;)

[@n0body550]

That C word hits home hard in the Glaswegian accent.

[@TimStamper89]

For some context he's shouting at staff. Senior civil servants and MPs (ministers for parliment like a congressman or something) And I will say this, it can be like this in politics

[@SubTroppo]

The "Berkshire Hunt" word: probably because normal Americans are too afraid to tell the wowsers to "what Malcolm said" off.

[@frankrappa4765]

The movie In The Loop was just as funny. I watched that before I discovered The Thick Of It.

[@rosshunter9792]

The birthday cake in the show is from the Prime Minister 😂

[@drake128]

The show is phenomenal.

[@jesterclownmime]

The irony of what Malcolm would have to say about reaction videos and swearing censorship.

[@happyhedgehog6450]

I have watched through this series over 10 times. It's absolutely brilliant. The movie spin off In the loop is also really good.

[@lyno1980]

This is the British version of Veep, same writer but where as the UK show is Certificate 18 Veep would be a PG

[@gchecosse]

I think others have said, but you should start with the film, "In the Loop".

[@robertstraw9881]

He’s based on Tony Blair’s ex spin doctor Alistair Campbell. Alistair denies it.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

True Story - my pal *Ian Martin* (an architect by profession, but also a genius satirist) worked on *The Thick Of It* as the show's Swearing Consultant. 😂 *Tucker's Law:* _"If some cynt can fuck something up, that cynt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck up because that cynt's a cynt."_ Words to live by, one might say... 😬

This is Malcolm Tucker. If you take away the swear words, there's nothing left. Still wouldn't want to share a work environment with the b******d, though.

@@ToddReacts You do have to imagine the leap of faith the BBC had when they appointed an actor, previously known as Malcolm Tucker, as Doctor Who. The interactions with Daleks could have been somewhat challenging.

[@paulwright9749]

It’s the best political comedy ever 😅

[@Cobalt-Jester]

Just a quick comment on the UK and the "C" word. It's still an offensive word over here and very rare do we have it on TV shows. But it's all in context. You are more likely to be called a cnut by a frend than a stranger. That might seem a bit strange to people outside of Britain, but that's how it is. It still has the power to offend here when used offensively. But like I said it's more likely to be used by friends as a joke or in an affectionate way. For example a friend might accidentally spill his beer in a pub and you might say "Hahaha you clumsey cnut" while laughing at him..

[@ToddReacts]

Love the context! Thanks. It’s amazing to me how completely banned that word is here in the States. In all contexts.

[@finncullen]

If you bleeped out the swearing in this show it would sound like a truck reversing over a heart monitor

[@MrArchie800]

I'm not sure if anyone outside the UK would get this show as it's all about national politics (it is absolutely brilliant - and all the swearing/cussing is almost secondary to the main story line - but, as swearing goes, the Scots are very good at it - almost poetic in many ways ;-)

[@jackal59]

It is the most brutal satire I've ever seen, and as an American who has watched a lot of British comedy and can Google the things I don't know (like Irene Handl), it is absolutely worth it. Besides, it's pretty easy to get the gist of things like Glenn screaming, "Well, _fuck_ Tinky-Winky!"
