Comics don't laugh at other comics. That room had a lot of comics in it.

@@VeryOldOneForever You've obviously never seen an audience with Billy Connolly

Yeah, it looked like some were to scared to laugh, especially at the beginning.

i must communicate that i am not a middle aged white man and i find him amazing. because its important for me to communicate my openness to all other humans.

AMERICANS! 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

well lets not forget Peter Cook. Or Mayall. But I agree, he's right up there.

Underrated genius

i still watch the same episodes of AP the last 20 years and they're still as good as ever. A true genius comic

Genius is a word that is bandied about too lightly by people who have struck the word "excellent" from their vocabulary and who lack a sense of proportion. Even if we limit ourselves to the British Isles, that country has so many comedians of the same talent and stature as Coogan that to claim he somehow surpasses them is ludicrous. If we were to believe YT commenters, the world is chock-full of underrated geniuses.

I agree. The other comparative names that come to mind, for myself, is Peters Cook and Sellers, Chris Morris.

Please, don't reply saying that's sexist. It's not.

It's Gold Finger. GOLD FINGER!

Sheff A disgusting!... I can tell your sex people!

Lovely stuff.

These people have no idea of his work?

DAN

Bravo, Jeff! 😂 That comment is very well observed and Comedy Gold! 👏😂

Half the audience here, don't seem to get his sense of humor which is a shame

They must be all drunk.....

@@mihaelatudor2417 or left their brains at home!

LOL

James “can I just say, I don’t think anecdotes are your forte”

Lovely stuff.

@@BobTaile It's an Alan Partridge quote from the same episode he quoted.......

God that's good

Do you shave your crackling?

10/10 superb

That...was a goal!

That was textbook

BOOF! Eat my jokes

@Via THAT WAS AWESOME TV?

Totally agree. They should give him an award

@@Danjanon Skitting!!...great reply.

Yes, I've always loved our British humor, their style, clever cadence, cheeky double talk, beautiful pace control, best story telling, unabashed tongue in cheek elbow you in your side, take no prisoners, life celebrating comedians! By the way I'm Mexican American with some Irish...Guacamole with a little Blarney stone.

Irish wit

He's not underrated.

Yep, you can see them not getting it. Shame

They would be pissing themselves if it was Alan Partridge

Although I'm not sure if winning a BAFTA would make you drive to Dundee in your bare feet....

I'm in Dundee in my bare feet, and I'm not even nominated

Yep.

Nothing more I can add to that.

Agree. Completely over their heads. At least we can enjoy it though.

I think the initial opener probably shocked the woke brigade and made the non-woke feel unable to appreciate him.

Oh gee, be nice, his daughter was in the room.

Superb comment

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

10 on 10

😂

👍👍👍😂😂😂😂

Mainly on the Americans in the audience. Generally speaking, they just can't grasp irony or sarcasm.

Nonsense. Spend a day in New York ya wanker

It was pretty, pretty pretty good

Not all Audiences cheer/clap everything . Sometimes they just like to take in the content uninterrupted so as to not upset the timing or value of the words.

@@tanz7877 I also think that was prettyyyyyy......prettyyyyyy.....prettyyyyy............good.

Oooh!! RVA 😮 ... Adore you 😊

Damn right :-)

Drew - as himself.

@@tdurb0 Ye!s! But maybe Alan Partridge could interview him as well? Now that would be a project!!

Yeah, I don’t think the same will be said of Donald Glover, who couldn’t bear to even break a smile. Just too cool and frankly just too important of an icon to do so.

The first award is for best Christ.

Yes, he very nicely took the piss. Did they even realize that?

@@irishguy6544 They're celebrities (mostly American), who did art and drama at school, they're not exactly the brightest of people. So probably not...

they all seem to like it. I don't know who the dude in glasses is though, he didn't know where to look

Yes he disliked by phoebe

As American I thought that was hilarious. Love this guy

Brutal and absolutely accurate

Yup and she's talentless.

Partridge tries to hide his prejudices..this however is just great work

Coogan would certainly acknowledge Henry Normal- he’s worked with him for over 20 years. They set up Baby Cow - check out their list of productions. His career went just fine without relying on the poetry, topped off with a BAFTA for services to TV comedy in 2017 just after he retired.

The sign of a dying culture is having to constantly apologise for being yourself ( a white man ) from within your own civilisation

Where’s your punchline?

How many sleepless nights have you endured waiting for it?

I know right! He needs to stick with this one.

Dylan Jakins people with eyebrows on their cheeks :)

ha ha ha, when I first heard his say that my shirt went up my back like a roller blind ha ha, it just goes to show how pre programed we all are in PC now, thank you for reminding me, I would add "thats were you make them though" lol

I said "Hoo dah hell is dat?"

@@grahamwells1774 Those bastards got him hooked 😡🍫🤢

He's British - what do you expect?

you mean Laurel & Hardy?

Ha ha, your killing me.

😀

Old joke.

ye wot a bloody cheek ,,who is she ,,,,,,and john c ,once again proves you shud never wear a bloody hat when your on the the stage,,no props john ,,,cmon,,!!!

@@eenavid she's a comedian. i'm one hundred percent sure it was a bit.

"Needles" to say..... 💉

Every Jewish person I have met should have an Autobiography called this but then I have only worked with them since 1971, a mere 48 years ago....

Back of the net.

Cashback!

Jurassic park

Totally lost on an audience of people who actually voted to give him the award? Right...........

By the looks of some of their faces it definitely hit home.

I recognize irony and sarcasm, and I'm a fan of Steve Coogan as an actor, but this wasn't funny. Brits seem to love everything British no matter how bad it is.

@igeto12 How d'you know he's anti-left? He liked Coogan's speech and Coogan's a leftie.

@igeto12 Not particularly. They have plenty of crackpot notions which are just that. However, I probably agree with them more than I do with the hard left or the hard right.

Magnolia Rattus Well that’s your opinion. It is obvious you’re not a Brit, as this speech seems to be too subtle, and nuanced for you. This speech was genuinely very funny, with smatterings of Alan Partridge thrown in. Unlike most American humour which tries too hard with ‘ hey look I’m being funny now’

igeto12 Dave Rubin, Sargon. Excellent guys

Ironically, my experience has been totally different. Pushed off the Social Housing queue in The 1970s to, literally, accommodate, the homeless immigrants from The Caribbean and Asiatic Nations. Then, at work, being given a permanent contract with an Inner London Council, after due process, only for 3 weeks later a memo to arrive "from high " saying that " As Black people were under-represented in The Education Department" then the whole interviewing process had to be done again and a Black candidate appeared from nowhere to take the only position and I was out altogether and it prevented me getting a position in The Police Force on the flimsiest technicality after gaining 100% marks on all their myriad of diversity questions (having lived with a Caribbean Lady for 20+ years helped my knowledge ). Fortunately, I turned all of these negatives into positives by owning my own house and owning 2 Medium-Sized Businesses but it is hardly the point :)
