"Belly savalas" - you kids wouldnt remember Telly Savalas, who was the star of the long running cop tv series, "Kojak". Detective Lieutenant Kojak was always sucking a lollipop and when he would take it out of his mouth he'd always say "who loves ya baby?". Bernard sticks the lollipop in his belly button and does the lollipop line when it comes out.

The joke about Manny's birthday presents being an espresso machine and a "The Sweeney"boxset: The Sweeney was a 70s cop show. Manny had binged it whilst drinking espresso all night so he was acting like a 70's detective, even down to the tan leather jacket!

In the German dubbing, this British crime series, which is unknown here, was replaced with the staid, slow-moving German series "Derrick". Completely inappropriate.

@richardfurness7556 2 ай бұрын

The Sweeney was a fast-moving and extremely popular British cop show set in London which first aired in the mid to late 70s. The title came from Cockney rhyming slang: Sweeney Todd, Flying Squad. When Bill Bailey introduces himself as 'Carter' he's referencing the character played by Dennis Waterman.

On this being like Father Ted, it just occurred to me that Bernard Black is essentially Father Jack but still a semi-functional alcoholic who can talk and walk rather than just sleeping and occasionally waking up and yelling 'drink! Girrls! feck!'. This is probably what Jack was like leading up to getting exiled on Craggy Island.

So, funny story, when I was training for a job we had to watch some security training videos, scenarios acted out etc. The main actor and narrator was the same guy from the Batman films, and even though this was in the UK and all the characters in the video we English, this guy still spoke with his banging American accent, no idea why lol

Regarding the english actress with the bad british accent a possible other explanation than the commentator just being wrong is that it does happen that you get some London based actors and singers who naturally have posh accents but who fake more working class or ambiguous London accents and some are more successful at that than others
