I used to teach English to those whom we must now call international students. I can assure you that they would have coped far better with Stanley Unwin's utterances than with the actual exams they sat.
I remember as a nipper finding the good professor's talks simultaneously entirely clear and utterly incomprehensible. I later had the same experience when studying continental philosophy, and, more recently, its poisonous spawn critical theory.
I remember him well from those days. I think he just worked in a studio and someone heard him amusing his workmates with this gorgeous flow of mumbo Profumo. Please correct me if this is not the story.
English is my second language. I did not understand a single phrase, not even with subtitles. Now I feel bad. I don't listen to American, and I don't understand English anymore. Oh dear.
I actually heard him talking normal English on 'Just A Minute' nobody interrupted him, such was his stature, not even Kenneth Williams, another genius of the English language with his 'Polari' on 'Round The Horn'.
It really does sound like it SHOULD mean something! ;) I wonder how he did it? Did he have a script or did it just come to him naturally? "Course, he loved his wife, kissy, cuddly!"
He was so familiar with his own vocabulary that he could extemporise in any situation. But he was meticulous about continuity, so once he had it down, he could do the same spiel again and again.
If I were a teacher of English for foreigners I would use this clip on the final exam just to freak them out

I was and I did :)
😂😂😂
You should listen to this with the captions on.
Remarkabold. Truly markabold. Really enjoined this impressingly and generops exampling of languageness. Oh, folly folly!
😄👏
he makes more sense than most politicians.
I complotatmode agumus! Politinode repromondo of the publn todus donnot undeostund the notion! We arein deer stoots. In other woords fooked.
Deep joy
Spoke more sense in that one minute than the combined Houses Of Parliament have mustered between them since 1983.
Much missed man of talent.
Yes, i know his great grandson. They are really alike.
It all makes sense now.
Ye, the British Empile completely leaked
Stanley Unwin explains the Irish backstop.
Yes, and I fully agree with his analyses.
As an Irish person I find this offensifencibobble.
😂😂😂😂😂😂@@maolsheachlannoceallaigh4772
At last something sensible!
And with absolute clarity 😂
Definitely more sense than Mr. Floppy PM.
A genius who didn't need to use swear words-at least I don't think he used any swear words.
🤣🤣🤣
Off course he no didlow oh deep folly
@@fluorosco 🤣🤣
Never
"Oh, folly!" was about as strong as it ever got.
haah.. what an absolute legend !
The man's a genius
Professor Stanley is brilliant
Absolute comic legend.
I agree...most.infaticol of the love bold hearty beaty...omph.yes..
Deep joy of the throkus.
There's a man that knew what he was talking about!
This guy was a genius and should have been priminister back in the day.
I remember as a nipper finding the good professor's talks simultaneously entirely clear and utterly incomprehensible. I later had the same experience when studying continental philosophy, and, more recently, its poisonous spawn critical theory.
Ah...critical thereode talkit at the sane tile, Ive been this but not continentode or philosiphode, more pop corcus by the tveel.
Epiglotty!
Excellent!
I was becoming a bit lost but now I understand perfectly. Why can't the pollies explain as clearly as this?
Bbecause the peeploaders are mostly thundermold and not entirely educale.
Awesome stanley unwin is so funny
I'm yet to understand why Prof Unwin adopts this indecipherable dialect before I go to the pub then makes perfect sense when I get back from the pub.
I couldn't have put it better myself.
Just seen him on CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG. What a genius
Honestly, this is what a lot of people sound like to me...
I heard in Gerry Anderson's "The Secret Service" and one in "Chitty, Chitty Bang, Bang"
Genius. Rolling in the aisles hilariousmode.
This is captain kak of the starslop interpol
On a five year mishap to explode new worms
And bodelly go where no-go forego mango.
Great!
He was an SM at Bush House even before I was. If anyone understood Dawn French better than he we should be introduced
That give my a deep thorkus on my windie way homebolder, before I sit comftibold two square on my botty....
I remember him well from those days. I think he just worked in a studio and someone heard him amusing his workmates with this gorgeous flow of mumbo Profumo. Please correct me if this is not the story.
Those few bars of music heard at the beginning are pinched from 'The Long Good Friday'....
Where is he when we need him?
Stanley Unwin explains UK Government Covid 19 policy.
Makes more sense than Cameron
haha or Donald Trump :)
And still speaks more clearly than your average British politician
Speaker's corner has changed a lot.
English is my second language. I did not understand a single phrase, not even with subtitles.
Now I feel bad. I don't listen to American, and I don't understand English anymore. Oh dear.
THE BEST ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
He’s definitely making sound, this much is certain.
I've got somebody always commenting on my videos who constantly insists on speaking in Unwinese.
Well I know his great grandson so I get unwinese everyday!
ahhh...at last ....some sense............deeep joy
Makes more sense than any politicians today
Is it one of Boris the Bodgers government advisors, talking to us about how we move out of this whole pantomime
Wonder if this came before or after Word Association Football by Monty Python?
Tory party covid-19 advice
Truth. Love it 😂😂
This I understood. Johnson's explanation of his end of lockdown instructions ... not so much!
He speaks more sense than politicians
Perfy explanale and broadcasty at the speakers corm.
Made total sense
Stanley Unwin is the most hilarious actor there is.
What he's saying makes absolutely little sense, but he makes us all laugh nonetheless. 😄😂
Uh Oh, I understood every word.....
He makes more sense than a lot of political commentators I've heard.
Remember that he was such a genius that Baron Bomburst made him Chancellor of Vulgaria!
There is no way that was a minute and 9
I actually heard him talking normal English on 'Just A Minute' nobody interrupted him, such was his stature, not even Kenneth Williams, another genius of the English language with his 'Polari' on 'Round The Horn'.
I'm crying 😂
Yer that abut right stanley
If you think his speech is confusing, check out Stanley Unwin. 🤣🤣🤣
Are you all sitty comftybold two-square on your botty? Then I'll begin.
Twot's ee talking about???
President Biden often sounds like Prof Stanley Unwin .
It really does sound like it SHOULD mean something! ;) I wonder how he did it? Did he have a script or did it just come to him naturally? "Course, he loved his wife, kissy, cuddly!"
He was so familiar with his own vocabulary that he could extemporise in any situation. But he was meticulous about continuity, so once he had it down, he could do the same spiel again and again.
@@domshaw He sounds like a clever man. The thing is, you can kind of understand him - almost!
It actually makes sense in a roundabout way!
I am proud to say that my friends great great something grandad is stanley unwin (btw my friends name is Henry Unwin)
Shutty cake-oh.
A few tourists around wondering if they'll ever learn the English language
Mwah. Kissy cuddly to you too sir. In the marty fold.
Kissy cuddly
This is all i hear When Nicola Sturgeon Speaks 🥺
Godly wurldy
This is what teachers sound like to most kids…
I disagree vehemently with his position. No wait...I agree 100%.
It resembles Polari a bit, doesn't it?
Half past six mate.
If he talked like that at speakers corner now he'd be arrested now for mispronobly non crimular hateywoblers.
“Blown to smithereekers in the early mordi.”Well that’s one way to describe the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atom bombings😂
He was my uncle

Susie Dent Countdown !
Blown the people to smithereekers 😂😂
Not another Charismatic!
Irwin Corey from across the sea. But their act predates them both. It's at least as old as mintrelsy.
I watched this on mushrooms. It didn't help.
Critical Theory explained.
absolutely
As clear as Donald Trump giving a press conference
It's Joe Biden!
Nadine Dorries
This pisses off even Joyce.
Totally diddlebunk....
Is that Joe Biden?
Joe Bidens hero.
Is he related to Joe Biden? 🤔
Sounds like Joe Biden.
Joe Biden speaks.
