*Red hair, and a hand me down robe...you must be a Weasley.*

Ginger lad is a legend for helping his mate out who clearly wasn’t comfortable from the off. Brian truly is an intriguing character.

Martin is one hell of a mate. He was given every chance to claim credit or at least say they both did it, but every time he gave Brian his props and made sure people knew Brian was the one who truly saved people while Martin acts like he just did his part What a great pair of lads in their own ways

2 good men. Hope they are successful in this life. A decade after I hope the whole meme thing hasn’t bothered them because they are real heroes.

I'm a Northerner, and people like these two are the 'salt of the earth' types. They'll help you as a matter of course, and not expect a reward. Good lads.

Jokes aside it's sad that they all witnessed a man die right in front of them, then had to go on the news the next day where the hosts are all breezy and laughing. Just a weird vibe to start with, even without the cruel memes that followed

Perfect example of why you can never judge anyone you don't know. One of these guys clearly has a lot of anxiety but they both stepped up into leaders when the situation called for it. Fair play lads 👏👏👏

I hope life has been good for these two good people. Well done legends.

2 young children saw a dude die right in front of them and still helped people. Well done to these lads

This gives unnerving Hunger Games vibes. The hosts are like cheery Capitol people, entertained and intrigued by the story and the two kids are the tributes who saw death

It takes a level of courage and strength to do what these young lads did. Most grown men would have trouble doing what they did. Glad they were there to help out .

Really couldn't more proud of these lads. Martin and Brian demonstrated cool heads under very difficult circustances. And the way in which they organised the passengers, helped those in greatest need first, and even had the foresight and aptitude to press the door release at precisely the right time really goes to show they truly are salt pf the earth lads. Not to mention the clarity of thought they possessed in such a "hot mess" situation. The fact the bus started rolling backwards just as everyone thought the danger had ended, must have put severe strain on the nerves and cool thinking that these great lads demonstrated - yet they once again sprung into action. Even attempting to slow the rolling bus using brute strength alone. Cracking job lads. Your parents must be so proud. Definitely need an award.

This is the ultimate Rick Roll because you actually watch the entire video and never find the 'U WOT M8'

>Came here expecting to find a douchey yob saying "you wot m8" >Turns out he's a hero Oh interwebs..

Stand out young lads, fair play to them. Don't deserve to be made into memes. Took a lot of courage to do what they did and at such a young age too

The way that they decided to present this as though it was simply a light-hearted, feel good story and had to keep on doing the jovial delivery even when presented with some children who'd obviously done thier best in a horrific situation and *watched a man die*, is er... an interesting thing to watch

Misleading title but these are basically 2 decent genuine young lads who did a good thing. Fair play to them.

1:31 Brian ordered all the passengers to perform a striptease for some reason.

Watch Brian closely. His mind works a bit differently. He’s eyes are always wandering around the room. This is why he knew what to do to get the doors open. He’s constantly distracted by his environment, but on this day, that became his strength.

2:07 11 Years later and Still awesome.

(Two kids who actually did something great who should be praised and recognised as heroes.) (The entire internet mocks their appearance and how they speak and makes a meme out of them.) The magical and beautiful world we live in folks...

R U HAVIN A GIGLE M8

Two decent young lads. Well done. Actions speak MUCH louder than words.

At 1:54 Gordon Burns says "and that was quick thinking", the kids look is priceless, lol. Well done lads.

There is no *U WOT M8* _so sad_

Ok let's look at the story here. These boys witnessed a man die and stepped into action to help out. In such a situation, your emotional response is being repressed to perform critical functions. After traumatic events, people often find they have an automatic response to shut down and dissociate as a means to stay safe at a perceived threat. So now these boys are in a strange situation, with cameras, a nervous situation with people talking about a serious incident in a cavalier way. A very surreal situation. My guess would be he's experiencing an adrenaline rush from the situation and zoning out because it's just too much to handle. From the description of what they did it is clear he's able to make astute decisions under pressure. It's funny how people with no life experience can look at this and laugh and make fun, but it just shows that you've not been through difficult situations, or have very low empathy levels.

Martin actually says “do you want...” to Brian, because he saw it as a question for Brian, but Brian was too nervous to answer.

That look the lad on the right gives after she says "like superman" 2:36 is so funny.😂🤣 He is just not bothered by all the attention at all!

Searched for ‘Ollie ball hereee’ and this came up

Why they dressed for Hogwarts?

1:56 the supposed moment but they actually say something different

At what point does anyone in this video say "U WOT M8"?

Martin is a champion for how well he helped out Brian with that difficult situation. He made Brian the hero he is and buffered him and his obvious struggle with the social interaction. Great EQ young fella.

Just wasted 3:38 of my life waiting on a u wot m8

Would be great to hear from these two all this time later. Well done. Brush off those criticising the interview, you came across fantastically.

Guys like this two are the hope for humanity. True super heros not realizing they are super heros.

01:57 for the "u wot" part. You'll thank me later.

they look like their trying their best too to not say expelliarmus XD

Brilliant lads, hope they live fulfilling lives

11yrs ago ..but well done lads . Hope your having good lifes you seem like nice guys.

The entire comments “They dressed as Hogwarts” “They don’t say u wot m8”

Absolute legends. Hope they're doing well all these years later, and I hope they received therapy for what they went through and saw.

"The driver sadly died...but Martin and Brian have been praise" will always get me because of how casual he says it

Came for the meme and was actually blown away by their story instead.

He doesn't say "u wot m8", he says to his camera shy friend, "Do you wanna tell em?".

Their parents were definitely proud. I’m impressed by how quickly they took charge of the situation but most of all that they helped everyone else instead of just getting to safety themselves. That is heroic.

Loved these two in Harry Potter.

This video will never get old.

What great lads. Still in a state of shock, no doubt, still trying to process what happened. 8 years later I hope they are doing well in life.

Turn captions on at 3:01 “Yeah that was so it didn’t crash into mother cows across reinvent”

They are good young guys, instead of doing nothing they rolled up the sleeves and did what they could, respect ✊

These lads are legends! Well done

1:31 "I told everyone to get i'm off one by 1"

Just two wholesome lads. Nothing wrong here, clickbait title is all.

I love how the presenters look like theyre constantly on the brink of total breakdown laughter

Fair play, memes are funny but these two are proper heroes to do what they did at that age.

1:20 for the curious people. He never sais 'U WOT MATE' tho.

1:56

Yeah, well done guys. Clearly the type of guys you want in an emergency, rather than on a tv broadcast. Which is infinitely fine by me. 👍👍

These young hero's were stoned on the bus, stoned in this interview & still are stoned. Legends.

Brian’s the strong, silent type. No need for words,

These are the guys you want around when the shit hits the fan, they'll snap into action when everyones panicking. Good one lads, we need people like you, thank you

Brian, quick thinking and clarity of thought 😂😂😂

Damn bro lookin back at this just shows how much the internet has changed these kids saved lives and we’re memes 😂

Ron and Harry explaining the events of Philosopher’s Stone.

8 years ago and this is just NOW on my recommended

We need an update from these two dudes. Over a decade has passed so let’s meet the two 25 year olds and see how things have worked out.

The bus went out of control and the ginger lad shouted, "u wot m8?!" and the bus suddenly stopped (by the power of "u wot m8?!").

I remember watching this waiting em for em to say u wot m8 , they never said it

Turns out he’s actually a genuinely decent lad after all this time

Not all heroes wear capes, legends!

Great lads, low key, measured, with good heads on their shoulders. I hope they are both doing well.

Fair play to the lads. Being on tv at that age must be very nerve racking. I can remember when I was at school public speaking was tough never mind being on tv.

Sad that people made fun of these kids just because of their working class background. They're heroes ffs. Just goes to show that classism/elitism is still rife in society 😕

Salt of the earth lads, they did a great thing. Hope they're doing well in life.

Came to laugh, left inspired. Hope they’re out there doing some good, and living full-filling lives.

I love how confused and lost the kid on the right looks throughout the whole video💀

I truly love this as I came in expecting a funny meme, but found an honorable story with honorable men instead.

Top couple of lads ! Hope life is good to both of them

This does make me laugh, my last school before college was in Gloucestershire (Scalby), we had one lad in class who no one could understand due to his very thick northern accent so when he was asked to read etc, it was impossible to understand him.

Hope these lads are living life to the fullest.

Ive never seen a teenager called Brian until now 😭😭😭😭

I don't know what these two guys are doing today, but I could see them both driving an ambulance. Sounds exactly like the qualities of the EMTs we see taking charge of situations with death and misery, and get people help and to safety while it's all chaos.

i watch this video once every few years waiting for them to say “u wot m8” & i never hear it

Bless their hearts , true heroes, great ones two sad that they are made fun of only because of their appearances The internet is a bitch

He clearly says "You wanna tell 'em?".

I don’t get whats so funny in this video I come back to it every year thanks to the algorithm and I don’t understand anything new

Top lads, instincts to help, in a moment that would make many panic or act selfishly. Emotional intelligence in abundance.

Bless him really helping his mate who’s lost his voice Awh heartwarming

'U fockin wot m8?' doesn't relate to this but those boys are heroes!

These two lads now drive busses around Wigan Town

This is just a wholesome video

Are you serious? I live in Britain and I can say, he does NOT say "U wot m8" it doesn't even SOUND like that, he says "U want tell em?" -_-

I didn’t really understand but what I can say is these kids are heros that saved aload of lives, quality lads !!

It's funny how people react to different things. In a car crash, Brian was obviously extremely calm and intelligent. In front of a camera, he's practically crippled with nerves.

I have watched this video many many times over the years and I can’t seem to see where or when he says u wot m8

Their reactions are priceless

1:52 "that was quick thinking" Brian taking 2 minutes to speak.

We speak the same language but I still have to use the subtitles to understand the boys 😭😭😭 they’re heroic individuals. Hope they’re thriving now.

What two thoroughly decent young lads. Back in the day before all school kids were 'Bedroom TV Presenters', taking command of the camera, talking like weathered football pundits. Hope they got recognition for their actions. Hope too they went on to have good lives and fulfilling careers 👏
