When somebody asks you "Are you taking the piss?" they're asking if you're messing with them. Movie example: When Tony says "Don't take the piss, Boris."
regarding the feeding people to pigs "Robert William "Willy" Pickton is a Canadian serial killer and former pig farmer. He is suspected of being one of the most prolific serial killers in Canadian history." He confessed to 49 murders and it is said that he fed his victims to his pigs (though it is also speculated that he may have ground up the meat, mixed it with pork, and sold it). Though Bricktop says they go through bone like butter apparently you have to break the larger bones for them to be able to eat them.
One of my all-time favorites, and Guy Ritchie's best film in my opinion. Cast is absolutely steller, and Ritchie is a master at non-sequential storytelling.
@@jenmurrayxo Ritchie cuts his own films and his director "trademarks" include fast, intense action scenes sandwiched between normal, slower paced scenes (like the initial heist at the beginning of Snatch), quick jump-cut scenes (such as the scenes where the film jump cuts to character exposition sequences before returning to the story), and circular, non-sequential, interconnected plots where the film feels like it's multiple, separate stories and the audience sees the "big picture" towards the end. In my opinion Ritchie is very much an auteur with a very distinctive filmmaking and editing style. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is another one of his great films.
Very cool. Gotta respect artists like that who have a hand in all aspects of the production to execute their vision. I'll def have to check out his other stuff
@@jenmurrayxo Another cool piece of trivia about Ritchie; he never went to a fancy filmmaking school, studied with famous directors, or had a connection in the business - he literally worked himself up from the bottom starting with a part-time job at a film studio into becoming one of the best directors in modern film history.
The guy that gets dragged down the street with his head in the car window is Scottish actor Ewen Bremner. He's in two of my favorite films Naked and Trainspotting, definitely worth watching.
I showed this to some friends and they hated it. They couldn't figure out what was going on and were confused the whole movie. Apparently I need to get smarter friends.
I fully agree with Jeff who's in the comments. You really need to see "lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels. Same type of movie and a guy richie film. A truly excellent movie! Even better than snatch in my opinion! 😁😁👍👍
Great movie. Here's something fun to do with Snatch. Brad Pitt made-up a lot of stuff he would say. If you turn on the CC (subtitles), when Brad is negotiating for the trailer for his mom, he mumbles a bunch of stuff and the CC just goes '?'. Lol
Interesting you spotted Brad Pitt's accent being like the Newfie accent. He does a very accurate Irish Traveller accent in this, but the Newfie accent is said to be more like parts of south coast Ireland. You seemed to have no problem understanding him too. I'm east midlands Ireland and I can't understand him without subtitles!
South West here! It's very similar to a lot of rural accents throughout Munster. And very true to the Irish Traveller accent. I can understand about 70% of what he says. Newfoundland is very interesting, some of the accents, slang and sayings are the same as we have here. I've seen films/shows set there with Newfie actors and I've had to double take or google they weren't Irish or playing someone mean't to be Irish.
@@jenmurrayxo There are a lot of cultural similarities between Newfoundland and Ireland; we even have many of the same traditional songs. I remember going drinking with a bunch of Newfies who were over here for work, years back, and they really enjoyed that aspect of it. The really funny thing is that they were complaining so much of the cold. Ireland is further north than Newf but typically gets milder weather; it does get a very damp cold rather than a dry cold though.
“Are you taking the piss?” = “Are you making fun of me?” … basically… But in the way Brick Top is saying it… it’s more like he’s saying “Are you taking me for a fool?”
Daimler is the luxury division from Jaguar, they use to add fluttered masks to the grille and rear license lights, and have better equipment if do share the same engines
I’ve always loved the mile(km?) a minute pacing and found gleeful joy in tripping over the rolling dialogue. Richey definitely has his own style. Great reaction as always! Also, love the portrait of Bos(!) Have you seen the pets in uniform portraits? Pretty cute.
I've got a pet peeve about American actors doing terrible Irish accents, and Brad has previous on this, but I have to give him props. That's a really good stab at an Irish Traveller accent, and most of us over this side can't do one of those.
I'm Irish and Pitts accent in this movie was spot on. I remember getting into an argument with a friend back in the day who was saying Brad Pitts accent was terrible in this movie. The script says it "It's not English, it's not Irish it's just... pikey." He'd never even met a gypsy. This is exactly what some of them sound like.
@@roryslaine7896 He does really well. I've had a beef with his accents since The Devil's Own, but that's supposed to be a Belfast accent which (I know, because it's my own) is infamously tricky for outsiders.
@@jonanderson559 100% man. I'm not from Belfast, I'm from Down and that thick Belfast accent is extremely hard for foreigners to pull off. I remember watching that movie the Devils Own with my sister way back in the day and we were absolutely cringing haha. I think we're more critical of it because we're from here... it probably sounds okay to Americans and the like. Best examples of somebody doing a passable North Irish accent are Daniel Day Lewis and Pete Poslethwaite in the movie 'in name of the father' and Jim Nesbitt did a pretty good job in '50 dead men walking'.
Back in the day piss was sold to tanners in leather shops ,, taking the piss , havent a pot to piss in both come from that 😂 , oh and for greedy people " he wouldnt give you the steam from his piss " so it must have been popular 😂
It would have been harder to pick an MVP if Jason Statham had also spent time shirtless. And you're right about the gypsy accent-it does sound a bit like some Newfies I know. Now.
The quick-cut thing seems to be a Brit thing. Guy Ritchie does it all the time and Edger Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim) also does it very well.
That was interesting that you thought of a Newfoundland accent, listening to Brad Pitt. I've seen a documentary about some older people in Newfoundland who have an unusual kind of Irish accent so they sound like they just arrived from Ireland, even though they have never been to Ireland in their lives. They just never lost the accent of their Irish immigrant ancestors.
I would recommend "Keen Eddie". A tv show that was cancelled far too early; it's probably not popular enough to really grow your channel in a meaningful way, but it's just *so good*. I bring it up because it definitely has this Guy Ritchie style, although it wasn't directed by him. The titular Eddie is a New York detective sent to London to wrap up a drug case; he ends up staying. There's nothing really special or unique about the premise, but it's just really well-done: excellent, sharp, witty writing with interesting cases, the chemistry between Eddie and his flatmate Fiona (Sienna Miller) is incredible. Really strong pilot and 2nd episode, so I think you'd be able to decide very early on how you feel about it (I mean... it's 13 episodes, so it's not like it's a big time investment either way).
JUST came across your awesome channel and have been binging voraciously, so THANK you for that. So glad you enjoyed this Guy Ritchie gem, I really hope you feel like venturing down this road (I've seen the comments and I agree, do start at the first one, Lock Stock, and definitely Rock n Rolla, both personal faves (then there is Man from UNCLE and the Sherlock Holmes flicks (SO good)). Ritchie really is a master craftsman, yes, but he really is great at showcasing camaraderie and the classes, two motifs that are in all his flicks. -keep on doin' what yer doin ;)
Some other Guy Ritchie movies, if you haven't already seen them, Sherlock Holmes 1&2 with Robert Downey Jr. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. with Henry Cavill. Highly recommend. Others have already mentioned other of Guy's movies.
Guy Richie is responsible for Lock, stock & two smoking barrels (1998), RocknRolla (2008), Sherlock Holmes (2009) and The Man From U.N.C.L.E (2015) all very good. He was also married to Madonna for a time and so did some music videos fo her. Also fun fact about Vinnie Jones (the guy with the Desert Eagle) is that he was a football player, most notable for playing for Wimbledon in the English Premier League and to say the least he was famous for being a pretty violent player. Clips of him making horrendous tackles can be found on YT.
Funny thing. I was counting the shots Tony fired at Boris: 9 shots (if it were .50 AE like it's labelled, it would be 7 + 1 in the chamber). What we're looking at is a Desert Eagle .44 or .357, each capable of holding 9 rounds.
Enjoyed rewatching this a lot 👌 Boston gets the MVP for being a good boy and not causing mischief with that pink dog toy by him 🙂 taking the piss aka taking the Mickey aka taking the Michael no idea what you would say instead in Canada 🤔 but us British have some strange sayings without doubt 😅
In earlier times, urine (piss) was the basis of many chemicals and used for production of salt peter for black powder (gun powder). The poor would collect urine in a ‘piss pot’ from others, around pubs etc. They would then sell the urine. They were ‘piss poor’. Even worse were those who were so poor they ‘didn’t have a pot to piss in’. Presumably ‘taking the piss’ was stealing the urine that another had collected. Now means to ridicule.
I never understood why they didn't just use Mickey to win, instead of throwing the fight. Mickey is an unknown fighter, and he's much smaller than most. The odds would be greatly against him, which means the take, should you bet on him, would be huge.
Oddly enough I only watched Ritchie's The Gentlemen for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. It's much in the same style and setting as Snatch and stars Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant and is a blast of dark humour and action. But Ritchie's more diverse than just Brit gangster flics, he also did Disney's live action remake of Aladin, for example.
I think you’d like the third movie - Rock’n’Rolla and as you liked this try a sexy molar American film called Lucky Number Slevin, absolutely mega cast 🎥👍🏻
The guy with the black guys who had gold teeth is called Goldie and is the godfather of drum n bass from the 90s. Bullet tooth tony is an ex pro football player.
@@jenmurrayxo So sorry Jen, I didn't actually know that you are Canadian. Apologies for my assumption and my silly comment. Not sure if you've seen Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? Same director and style as Snatch, I think you'd enjoy it.
One of my favourites and yes you have to see Lock, Stock too seeing as you enjoyed this movie. Hey you get any snow yet Jen? I saw a few flurries a couple days ago where I am.
After his first movie 'Lock Stock & Two Smoking barrels' Guy Ritchie got a lot of complaints from American critics that they couldn't understand the cockney accents and rhyming slang. In response he thought it would be funny to get an American actor speaking in a way that the cockney characters (and everyone else) couldn't understand. Kudos to Brad Pitt he nails the Irish gypsy cant.
Oh my god! I can't believe you just said it sounds like the Newfoundland accent. The Newfoundland accent is basically a County Wexford Irish accent. Lol. That's hilarious 😂
Great reaction! I love the music in this movie. The song by Oasis, "F*ckin In The Bushes" during the final boxing match, and "Don't You Just Know It" during the credits are fantastic.
The phrase "taking the piss" comes from the days of stagecoach travel. After a long, bouncy journey, the gentlemen might find themselves "standing piss proud", if you get my meaning. When they got out of the coach and relieved themselves their winkies would go back to their normal flaccid state. The alternative version is "taking the mickey" - "mickey" being short for micturition, which is another word for piss. Basically it just means to deflate someone who is a bit full of themselves. I suppose it's a bit weird, but that's the English language for you.
Such a cool movie this and one that is even better on a 2nd viewing , ofc being British how can I not love this movie 🙂 my MVP goes to Boston chilling so quietly behind you 🐶 . No wisdom nugget but this was a lot of fun even though I've watched this reaction before I enjoyed it again equally so 🙌 cheers Jen for being your hilarious self 🔥
oh yeah.... This is one of the best movies ever made. The new one from Guy is also good. Wraith of a man. Awesome movie. Guy Ritchie is the master of non-linear storytelling.
Many have recommended Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels which is great. Highly recommended. I think you’d enjoy Rock’nRolla which is also a great gangster type film. Great cast as well. Enjoy..
Jen you’re awesome! I’m sorry I can’t join you for some of the tearjerker movies (only cuz they can make me too sad sometimes) but you have great taste in movies! and it’s super fun watching your videos :) have a good time!
You got it! Snatch was such a good pick this time, super funny! It’s just Green Mile and inside out that are kind rough to watch for me, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t great movies!
Great reaction. This movie was soon good. The cast was awesome and super funny.. My favorite Guy Ritchie movie is Rock 'N Rolla. You should definitely watch it.
🤣 yes, they do kind of sound like newfies. I’ve never been there, but work with a guy originally from NewFoundland. I can usually understand him, pretty sure I would not be able to if he was drinking.
Taking the piss is a phrase, from years ago. When people use to collect piss from bars or homes. And make money from in it. As it has some chemical elements that are required. So taking the piss.
Snatch is my first foray into "Watch With Jen" and I had a great time! I'll definitely check out more of your reactions. If you like Guy Ritchie's work then you will definitely like Quentin Tarantino's. I have to recommend "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" also by Guy Ritchie. ( :E
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels" as another film you might enjoy a la Guy Ritchie but I suspect it's probably somewhere in your vast library of reactions that I just haven't gotten to yet... 😉
This is a great movie. You could it is a comedy of errors the whole way around. The soundtrack is killer. I believe all the music was of the SKA genre. All the actors are quite famous in England. This and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are Guy Ritchie's English Gangster movies, were uses the Cockney rhyming slang and the gypsys language quite heavily.

When somebody asks you "Are you taking the piss?" they're asking if you're messing with them.
Movie example: When Tony says "Don't take the piss, Boris."
Brick Top deserved an oscar for this... ✌️😄
"I feel like he's gonna use idiots" - Guy Ritchie trademark
I did hear that Brad Pitt spent a few months living with irish travellers on the traveller site near hull whilst preparing to play the part.
Right, you have to watch The Gentlemen. Also Guy Ritchie with great performances from Charlie Hunnam,
Matthew McConaughey and especially Hugh Grant.
"I thought you said he was a getaway driver. What the fuck can he get away from, ey??"

Classic movie and Guy Ritchie's best work to date.
I really liked it and I'd be interested to see some more of his work for comparison!
“Taking the piss” means making fun of or taking liberties or someone having the audacity….
Stephen Graham´s first bigger role. I love that actor. One of Britain's best
Fun fact: Guy Ritchie was married to Madonna and got his start directing music videos.
Did he direct any of Madonna's music videos?
Not sure; seems likely. He has some good movies 4 sure.
I would recommend "Keen Eddie". A tv show that was cancelled far too early; it's probably not popular enough to really grow your channel in a meaningful way, but it's just *so good*. I bring it up because it definitely has this Guy Ritchie style, although it wasn't directed by him.

The phrase "taking the piss" comes from the days of stagecoach travel. After a long, bouncy journey, the gentlemen might find themselves "standing piss proud", if you get my meaning. When they got out of the coach and relieved themselves their winkies would go back to their normal flaccid state. The alternative version is "taking the mickey" - "mickey" being short for micturition, which is another word for piss. Basically it just means to deflate someone who is a bit full of themselves. I suppose it's a bit weird, but that's the English language for you.

Canadian says:" It's a bit cold here"... That white outside your window is 7 feet of snow, isn't it?
Yes indeed lol!
Brad pitt got that to a T , save your breath to cool your porridge , great weather for the horses " aghh bolix you lose more running for the bus
Such a cool movie this and one that is even better on a 2nd viewing , ofc being British how can I not love this movie 🙂 my MVP goes to Boston chilling so quietly behind you 🐶 . No wisdom nugget but this was a lot of fun even though I've watched this reaction before I enjoyed it again equally so 🙌 cheers Jen for being your hilarious self 🔥
oh yeah.... This is one of the best movies ever made. The new one from Guy is also good. Wraith of a man. Awesome movie. Guy Ritchie is the master of non-linear storytelling.
Many have recommended Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels which is great. Highly recommended. I think you’d enjoy Rock’nRolla which is also a great gangster type film. Great cast as well. Enjoy..
“D’ ya like dags!?”
“Dags?”
“Ya dags”
Jen you’re awesome! I’m sorry I can’t join you for some of the tearjerker movies (only cuz they can make me too sad sometimes) but you have great taste in movies! and it’s super fun watching your videos :) have a good time!
No worries Kyle! Not every video I post will appeal to everyone but I appreciate you watching along with the ones that interest you! :)
You got it! Snatch was such a good pick this time, super funny! It’s just Green Mile and inside out that are kind rough to watch for me, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t great movies!
Great reaction. This movie was soon good. The cast was awesome and super funny.. My favorite Guy Ritchie movie is Rock 'N Rolla. You should definitely watch it.
Thank you! Oh yes a few people have recommended that movie, I'll have to add it to my list for sure 👍
That's my favorite to
Nice reaction to this classic gangster movie.
Anyone else thinking of giving up pork after listening to Brick Tops instructions on how to get rid if a body?
Lolllll I've been vegetarian for 16 years so I feel you on that
@@jenmurrayxo Don't know if I could go full vegetarian but I understand why many people have.
I definitely plan to cut back
Everyone should do what's right for them! :)
Funniest movie ever made!
Period!!
Your womansense was on point on every prediction...
As I watched it you predicted the correct outcome everytime 👍
Lol sometimes my womansense is strong! ☺
🤣 yes, they do kind of sound like newfies. I’ve never been there, but work with a guy originally from NewFoundland. I can usually understand him, pretty sure I would not be able to if he was drinking.
True b'y! ☺
Taking the piss is a phrase, from years ago. When people use to collect piss from bars or homes. And make money from in it. As it has some chemical elements that are required. So taking the piss.
I think 'The Gentlemen' was Ritchie's latest. Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant in that one.
Oh nice! 👌
@@jenmurrayxo It's a whacky, knockabout comedy in the style of Godfather II.
"Rocknrolla" is also nice.
Snatch is my first foray into "Watch With Jen" and I had a great time! I'll definitely check out more of your reactions. If you like Guy Ritchie's work then you will definitely like Quentin Tarantino's. I have to recommend "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" also by Guy Ritchie. ( :E
Thank you!! Glad to have you :)
Will do!
You need to see Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Guy Ritchie's spiritual predecessor to this film. Definitely worth it!
FYI 'Pikey' is a ethnic derogatory term for Irish (and sometimes Romani) travellers, much like the n-word is for black people.
Was gonna say that
the baldie is the actor from the Transporter, a english badass
Daaaaaamn I played this soundtrack to death in college.
The music is so good!
Its not far off the Newfie accent, which to me sounds very like a Kerry Accent.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels" as another film you might enjoy a la Guy Ritchie but I suspect it's probably somewhere in your vast library of reactions that I just haven't gotten to yet... 😉
Rocknrolla is older movie like this that jumpstarted a lot of now notable peoples careers
Thanks ...
Thank you for watching! :)
This is one of my favorites! Jen you’re awesome! Please keep doing this!
This is a great movie. You could it is a comedy of errors the whole way around. The soundtrack is killer. I believe all the music was of the SKA genre. All the actors are quite famous in England. This and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are Guy Ritchie's English Gangster movies, were uses the Cockney rhyming slang and the gypsys language quite heavily.
Love Guy Richie films , so unashamedly British 👍💕
Try Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels - its the film before this and features alot of the same cast.
My wife and I love this movie, great reaction. (Even funnier with the subtitles for Brad Pitts character)
Thank you! :)
WHY THE FOOK WANT A CARAVAN GOT NO WHEELZ ON IT?!
Loll brilliant accent
