Got no opinions of your own, can't hack it in the real world, then join the army!

What I like is that Arthur Matthews hardly appears in Big Train apart from this sketch, meaning they brought him in for the day just to shout I HATE YOU at Kevin Eldon

@trollgage Ай бұрын

And it's the least, in my opinion, convincing part of it.

That punchline really bowled me over, good thing it wasn't in the video description or I'd have seen it coming a mile off.

@Microtherion 6 жыл бұрын

I think that's deliberate - the guy who might be joining the army is presented as more sympathetic than the other characters, just a bit 'clueless'. The others are portrayed as shrewd but slightly 'up themselves'. What makes Matthews' role memorable is that he's laughing at the same time as shouting 'I hate you'. Again, the sneering, self-righteous but witty type...

@@Picnicl it’s supposed to be ludicrously over the top. This skit isn’t about the army at all, that punchline is just a way to end the sketch. The comedy in this sketch is there’s an opinion that is respectfully and sagely agreed with - then when passed off by someone else (expecting a similar reaction) everyone shoots him down to a Ridiculous degree (“I HATE you!!!”) etc

@Paddy234 To be fair though, I've read Arthur Matthews and Graham Linehan - (the writers, as I'm sure you know), two Irish men - also call it a Britcom but also being extremely and fundamentally Irish at the same time. I know you weren't suggesting that only Irish folk can completely appreciate FT but I do think that the show couldn't possibly have been crated by English, or indeed anyone but the Irish.
