Al is an Oxford uni history graduate, his history knowledge is encyclopedic.

My favourite part of Al Murrays gigs is the first half where he gets to know members of the audience and riffs on their jobs, it's all freestyle and so clever.

The Pub Landlord is Al Murray's comedic persona, Al is a History Graduate from Oxford University, so, as you say, he's a very smart man and funny. Glad you're discovering British Comedy, it's a big rabbit hole you've fallen into. 👍🤣

Gotta do Al Murray on how global finance works

I grew up watching Monty Python, Benny Hill and Dave Allen at Large. They were all hilarious!

Al Murray (i.e. the man himself, not any of his characters) is a HUGE history buff, and an exceptionally intelligent guy. I'm not surprised that he's able to do a sketch like this, including accurate dates, even if he has to scrabble around a little bit, to find the logic for "Defeated them" in some cases. Bravo, chap, pint for yourself and a white wine or fruit-based cocktail for your good lady.

Al is a well educated man, He has a degree in history from Oxford University. The pub landlord is just a character.

I agree about Mr Bean, he's about as funny as a burning orphanage, but the actor who plays him (Rowan Atkinson) also plays Blackadder, and he is incredibly funny.

"Find a comedian that can educate you, and entertain you at the same time". How true that is. Love from the UK. I had my first George Carlin experience in the early 90's when I would have been 17-19. I was/still am heavily into underground music, and the same sources for white label small pressings of records were also selling comedy tapes (and soon CD's. What a remarkable time. I still feel Carlin had something to do with shaping my younger mind that has had a positive ripple effect on my life. Great reaction, and much love.

Love that you found him.

His act was in itself a paradoxical comedy, because the character he plays is a bigot, thick-minded yet so knowledgeable. It makes it all funnier still. Very well-delivered.

Al takes on the persona of the pub landlord. He has a degree in history from Oxford University.

Loads of great British comedy out there, depends what style of it you like.

*If you fancy an accent challenge, try: Kevin Bridges - If Facebook was a pub*

He is articulate and a historian Mess with a historian at your peril 🙏

He has a degree in History from Oxford as he is very clever

Although Al Murray works from a script, to a degree, a lot of the show is him improvising from audience reaction.

You Chaps are fun. You get it. Much ♥️ from Norfolk, England. 🤗

You have to see, secretary or nurse by Al Murray. Simply brilliant. You'll love it

You might like "Mock the Week - Scenes We'd Like to See." Mock the Week was a weekly 30-minute panel show from the UK featuring 6 different comedians (British also but not exclusively so) riffing on different themes. They finished their final season a few months ago, but just about all 20 seasons are on YT. The "Scenes We'd Like to See" segment was at the end, and entailed the host setting up a theme such as "Things You'd Never Hear in a Horror Movie," and the comedians would take turns coming up with short lines. It's rapid fire and funny as hell!

try the genius of Dave Allen :::Garden of Eden sketch.

Mrs brown sketch about waxing is the funniest skit I’ve ever watched

If you want to sample British humour you must try Micky Flanagan - Delhi Belly. Very funny man.

American humour is generally zany…British humour is intelligent, ironic and assumes knowledge in some respects.

Extremely intelligent guy …. Love his comedy as well 🫡

Gallagher, the guy that smashed watermelons, wasn't British. LOL

I dont even know how I ended up here, (youtube wormhole) but so glad I did, watching you guys's faces is priceless, and yes AL is a very intelligent person with a heart of gold, I have had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions and even had a couple of beers with him and a chat with no audience around, 100% a genuine guy and behind the boisterous front is a kind and caring gentleman. Just subscribed to your channel, keep the content coming and good luck with your progress. Salute from the UK.

So much British comedy, you'll be blown away.

A classic line from Al Murray is that the British, unlike the Americans don't have a dream (referring to the American dream). The reason being is that the British are awake!! Btw, I nominate the French for being the least funny people in the World.

There is sort of a magic trick going on here as well. He might have an answer for every country in the world, that is funny and interesting. But more likely what he is doing, is choosing the ones he wants to answer, while the crowd shouts out many different ones. Surely some of his answers are funnier, so he would want to give those the most stage time.

I wouldn't worry. I have never understood why some people think that everyone should find the samethings as funny as they do themselves.

At one point in 2015, Al Murray formed his own political party, as Al Murray's Free United Kingdom Party (FUKP). This was done to make a point about certain issues.

Saw him a few months ago at my local theatre,.mans a genius

Al Murray is a very smart man... and funny as fuck

Jimmy Carr Great British comedian

Great! I am amazed that you said "wow", when he dropped 1945...

Lee Evens is funny AF also Al Murray all jobs are terrible is good

Micky Flanagan is a must watch for you guys.....He's a natural comedian....but get familiar with the London/Southern English accent first.

i can't wait until you discover Micky Flanagan - personally i'd recommend "The Sh*ts Abroad!" from The Out Out Tour

These are not scripted, it all comes off the cuff which is very hard to do, he is a very intelligent man, his humour can be brutal, but that is classic british comedy

Al Murray has a MSc in history from Oxford. Great reaction guys

This is now the 3rd of your videos I've watched. Great stuff. You earned a like and a sub on the first!

Micky Flanagan is the BEST British comedian,"the French are lazy" "catching a peeper" "Delhi Belly" anything by Micky Flanagan is a sure way to get more subs ✌️

Al murray is a fully trained historian.

An historian with sarcasm and a brilliant sense of humour ? Mr Murray is a legend.x great channel and Cheer's 🇬🇧 Edit: try. Not the nine o clock news.. for classic British humour.✓✓✓

You have gotta watch Al on anthems, so funny

Comedy always comes, from a position of knowledge, history and, an understanding of present day problems.

You should check out Peter Kay - misheard lyrics and lee evans

he started out working as a sound effect for Harry Hill

My favourite is Billy Connolly. Russel Howard is very funny too.

Did you know the Great American comedian Bob Hope was born in Kent UK His BRITISH

The guy that smashes the watermelon is Gallagher, and he is NOT British! He's also hilarious.

When you get to Global Finance, you'll piss yourselves when you hear Al's impressions of Californian and New York stock exchange workers.

Brit here. About that war of independence you like so much. There was no U.S. until after that war. Effectively it was mainland brit vs expat brit. We beat ourselves.

Great video guys. Could I suggest that you may like to watch a British tv program called Would I Lie to you. Wilty is a very popular programs in the UK, in which you have to guess if someone is telling the truth or not. Not always as clear cut as it sounds, particular if a certain Bob Mortimer is taking part. Enjoy

He is a historian educated in Oxford

Al Murray has a degree in history from Oxford University.

Uk comedians I’d suggest would be Micky Flanagan he’s gotta be my favourite but there’s also guys like Romesh Ranganathan, Lee evans, Peter Kay

Truth be told it's fine even if you don't enjoy our comedy. There are loads of British comedians I don't find funny. Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre have some bits worth checking out. I always loved Billy Connolly; he was like a Scottish hippie George Carlin. Peter Kay has some good bits

Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr., known mononymously as Gallagher, was an American comedian not a British one

You do realise he's a qualified history teacher!

Ok - now I understand your comment about British comedy - of all the things you might have watched, Mr Bean is one of the few examples of things that don't make me laugh. I would recommend Micky Flannagan, Billy Connolly (you'll probably need subtitles) and Sarah Millican for starters.

"Big train" is always fun. Being scottish I will say "naked video" or "Chewin the fat" ( but gonna be honest the language barrier would be an issue)

Try Dave Allen or the two Ronnies, or Jasper Carrott

Love you, guys. Subscribed.

For Savage Comedy - Jimmy Carr. Irish - Dara Ó Briain. Al Murray is prone to waffle but very clever.

theres a longer video on this,was good to see you watch it :)

It takes alot to beat British humour, sorry but it's a fact 😊🇬🇧

Guys… one of the best reaction videos 👏👏

Al murry pub landlord... he was a history teacher 😂❤

You guys are of the very few who gets Al

Great reaction you must do his "how global finance works" if you don't laugh all the way through I'll eat my shorts lol

It's great to see you appreciate the persona that is the Al Murray " Pub Landlord" character and agree that a great deal of British humour is at best, an acquired taste. Like you say Mr Bean....can't stand him...but my kids do ! Regrettably, British humour is largely now a sanitised, politically correct shadow of what it used to be. For your further viewing, however, I would recommend checking out the recently deceased and very sadly missed Sean Lock and also Franckie Boyle. Enjoy.

Love Al Murray , he's brilliant . Have a look at Lee Evans - hilarious .

I’m British and live in France and I struggle with French comedy.

He's actually a history professor. He used this style on his students...Brilliant...

Lee Evan's is another GREAT comedian 👍

Al Murray does a podcast about WWII stuff with a military historian and if I didn't know his voice I would wonder which one was the historian - he's that knowledgeable. He's a huge history buff in general.

Great reaction as always ... gotta do ... Al Murray - Why Bacon Proves The Existence Of God ... pick version him wearing the white shirt ... also ... Al Murray - How Global Finance Really Works ... interesting American references

That last one... Peru... That line he talks about was never accepted by any country in the world except for Portugal and Spain. They literally divided the entire world between them. That is a easy escape for every country in the world.

‘Every country England has ever invaded, Visualised’ by RealLifeLore, I’m sure you’ll find it really interesting!

You need to check out les Dawson, Freddie Starr and Dick Emery

Well there r only about 180 countries he has the same answer for about 100, so it’s not that complicated after memorizing the list.

Two other great English commedians worth you checking out are Micky Flanagan (start with Dehli Belly) and Peter Kay (check out Misheard Lyrics). A funny Scottish comedian also worth watching, if you can take some offensive material, is Frankie Boyle (go for Audience Annihilation). Enjoy!

React to every country England as ever invaded visualised

He's supposed to be a pub landlord who is over-patriotic. So clever! 😂😂😂

Mickey Flanagan is your Man for comedy

suggest Eddie Izzard "star wars canteen" routine.

If you like risky jokes try Jimmy Carr....'riskiest jokes' or jimmy carr vs hecklers

Can I just say, his historical facts were dead on

Thankyou for taking the time to listen to our comedy. The best comedy!

Maybe try out Michael Macintyre The dentist or having kids

Watch lee evans, peter kay, billy Connolly, micky flannigan. All comedy legends from UK

I would suggest, " Peter Kay - misheard lyrics ", " Rowan Atkinson - The Devil " ,

The pub landlord is really laughing at the himself even the way he hold his beer with elbow up. He has an opinion on everything and was traditionally bigoted and opinionated usually having never been anywhere. Al depicts this so well, with the slightly off white shirt, slightly dishevelled look. He is laughing at all people like him and the British. We had one in our Pub he would stand and spout lyrical on every and any subject. Al is really very well educated with an amazing memory.

Most British comedians are super intelligent all oxford graduates

Hi guys, love al murray, maybe try lee evans when the car breaks down .

he has a history degree from oxford thats why he knows so much

Fair play to you both. We live in a world today where it is very easy to take offence. I give you both a ton of credit for simply posting this and taking it for what it is meant to be.....comedy. Al is one of a kind here in England. We cannot rewrite our past......good or bad. I'll certainly be looking out for your videos in the future. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️

I'm Dutch but its common knowledge the English have the best sense of humor period ...its not even a contest al would say.
