Though a situation comedy is still a sitcom, saying that this video featured both non-British sitcoms and panel shows so the video really should just be called "British comedians".
Yeah, I was confused the moment Horrible Histories came up because I had thought that “britcom” must be short for specifically “British sitcom” , and I was like “wait, that’s a sketch show, what?” Then Mischief came on and I thought, “that’s a fucking play!”, and then I saw Would I Lie to You and thought “Now that’s a game show, what the fuck is going on?”
@@krashd The point with What We Do in the Shadows was that the actors featured are British. It's a show made by New Zealanders, set in the US with a main cast that is 3/5th's British, it's an odd choice but I get it.
@@ThatGuyRBY sitcom is short for situational comedy, so britcom is short for british comedy. so just anything within the genre of comedy lol it's a pretty straightforward label
2:08 this scene was soo satisfactory because usually characters would panic and say things like "uuhhh It'S nOt wHAt yOu ThINk!!!" and I was expecting that here but when he just told them to eff off I was like "yessss, finally, a good response!"
Mine is, i got a round of applause on Broadway as the audience helper before The Play That Goes Wrong. I would've been a loyal fan without it, but they really got me for life, now.
Mine is my dad wrote the soundtrack to heartbeat, got his piece played by the London symphony orchestra and is good friends with the kaiser chiefs as well as being bafta nominated. Me? I've done fuck all in my life.
Is britcom a term used by Americans who like British shows ? I’ve never heard the term before but I’m British so I guess I just considered these comedies lol. Genuine question
i count it as british comedy bc it airs on bbc 2 and is on iplayer and also features famous ppl in the british comedy scene but it's up to interpretation tbh
Real quick: what was the name of the show or movie with the falling bunk beds. I know it's a parody of Peter Pan but I can't remember what it was called.
What We Do In The Shadows doesn't count. It has three English leads but it's an American production by FX. Everyone who works on that show is American, bar those three actors and occasionally Waititi and/or Clement.
@@colonyofrats4193 Sadly no. My favourite stand up Norm Macdonald sadly died last week. Canadian. I cant think of any good British modern standups these days. All woke and watered down. TV friendly and live at the Apollo. Maki g everyone smile and happy...🤢
@@colonyofrats4193 Yes, yes of course, it couldn't possibly be true that I have a valid but differing opinion. It must be that I don't know the context and haven't seen any episodes of "The IT crowd" etc. Sure whatever.
WWDITS not British. Ghosts is dogshit. Whole video is distinctly lacking in Ianucci, Morris, Coogan and Lee - the best British comedy writer/performers of the last three decades.
fun fact: in britain we call it comedy

Mate. Look at your population. Look at theirs. And then do a bit of thinking.
"Rosalind's a fucking nightmare" is iconic
so true
@@gramgram6870 i can't be the only one walking around singing that at the top of my lungs???
It runs on a loop in my head.
as someone who’s not from the english speaking world, can I just declare that Richard Ayoade is an international treasure?
All of the Horrible Histories clips in this are making me very happy
A lot of these clips are from yonderland and ghost not hh
@@colonyofrats4193 A lot of them are also from horrible histories though? Lol I can tell the difference I'm familiar with all three
and I'm just saying
This is caotic and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT and the Captain picture caught me so off guard
Same
Matt Baynton hand kiss is so iconic, well deserved inclusion. 😂
You need to put some Bob Mortimer stories from WILTY in a future episode tbh
“I do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden” pops into my head all the time
Always think of him when I'm putting on my jobbletop 😊
sometimes Richard's rap just gets stuck in my head lmao
same
One Track Lover is genuinely a great song.
I'm a simple man, I see Ben Willbond, I click.
The best part of 3:50 is that they're singing to an audience of one: Rosalind
As a brit we just call it comedy

Anyone would call it comedy since the video doesn't exclusively feature Britcoms, there's at least one US/NZ Sitcom and a panel show.

are you an american by any chance
@@bugsiins3407 no, I'm Croatian
How did you leave out Bob asking “do we strike you?” Hahah
The 6 idiots are the best. I’m watching ghosts at the same time as watching this.
All my favourite shows in one video omg, especially loving the Yonderland and Darkplace representation because they’re so underrated
I lost it at "homosexual department" with the picture of Cap
C H R I S H O Y L O V E S A S A V E L O Y
du du du du Henry hoover
VERY happy about the amount of Reece Shearsmith content
i love this !! britcom is top tier
so true
Sorry but I must violently flex that my godfather was the producer for League of Gentlemen and Insode no.9 - it's my single closest claim to fame
Mine is, i got a round of applause on Broadway as the audience helper before The Play That Goes Wrong. I would've been a loyal fan without it, but they really got me for life, now.
And my closest to fame is that my Grandparents are godparents of Steve Coogan. Weird huh
Mine is that my ex was the girl who threw her bra on the stage at that Tyler concert. Or at least she claims to be.
Mine is my dad wrote the soundtrack to heartbeat, got his piece played by the London symphony orchestra and is good friends with the kaiser chiefs as well as being bafta nominated. Me? I've done fuck all in my life.
THE PICTURE OF THE CAPTAIN AT LMAO 1:02
it’s very strange to me that there’s a whole fandom around our general tv
Ummm who could forget the iconic scene in yonderland “now shake” *full body shakes* “hands!” *they shake their hands individually*
I love me some James acaster 🤧
1:01 I did NOT expect Captain to pop up and I nearly choked
✨the homosexual department✨
*shows picture of cap* yES
All this comp needs is some Black Books clips
YES yonderland is so underrated
the fact that i've never seen garth marenghi's dark place but i know all the words to richard's rap
yeAh wwdits isn’t technically britcom but i’m so glad it’s here omg
inside no 9 is GOD TIER
And league of gentlemen
Wow, this is my whole brain and heart in one video
what we do in the shadows and anything with richard ayoade are amazing
a horrible histories/yonderland/ghosts super mega compilation would be amazing lol
The Horne section 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is like all my favourite people in one oh my goodness!!!
omfg mischief inclusion, love it 💖💖💖
YESS
I wonder how James Acaster would react if I went: “Oi! Oi! Savoy!” In the street at him 😂
ABSOLUTLY SCREAMING AT THAT SECOND CLIP 🤣🤣🤣 TLOG is my fave 😍
oh this is brilliant finally inside no 9 + wwdits crack
edit: nobody started playing and i fucking SCREAMED I LOVE MITSKI SM YESSSSS
So glad to see some Goes Wrong Show appreciation
you really didn't have to explain the whole "britcom" thing. It's completely straightforward.
you'd be surprised abt how many ppl get confused abt it haha
3:16 Heed my advice weary traveller. Don't drink anything whilst watching this or you'll be sorry when you laugh.
REYNOLM SAUD SOME KIND OF HOMOSEXUAL DEPARTMENT AND THE. CAPTAIN POPPED UP I AM DEAD
CAR SHARE! i LOVE LOVE
Yes more of these
The lunatics are still in control of TV in England 🤣
I absolutely love this!!
Yeah peak British comedy & pure chaos
Is britcom a term used by Americans who like British shows ? I’ve never heard the term before but I’m British so I guess I just considered these comedies lol. Genuine question
i'm british haha 😭 i mostly get the term from the twitter fandom from these shows but from what i've seen it's used by both brits and americans
@@humanmusicgroup nice :) genuinely didn’t realise there was an active online “fandom” for shows like this, but it’s cool that there is haha x
Great stuff!
Since when can Richard Ayoade rap?
does what we do in the shadows count as british comedy?
that was jepic
jepazing
The British make it cheesy but brilliantly put.
Rosalind's a *FUCKING NIGHTMAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Not sure that What We Do In The Shadows is British?
Kiwi writer, largely US cast, US production.
Certainly some British actors obviously
i count it as british comedy bc it airs on bbc 2 and is on iplayer and also features famous ppl in the british comedy scene but it's up to interpretation tbh
@@humanmusicgroup The Big Bang Theory airs on Channel 4 does that make it British too?
Real quick: what was the name of the show or movie with the falling bunk beds. I know it's a parody of Peter Pan but I can't remember what it was called.
Peter Pan goes wrong 😊
This video was amazing but at the end thomas is shouting fie! Not fu-
me:
my brain, 24/7: 2:28
Good stuff👍
wait til you discover bob Mortimer's podcast
No black books or spaced? Weeeaaak 😂
ngl i clicked for ben willbond
Of course there's comedy (American comedy) and Britcom, definetly nothing wrong with thay
There's no context for any of these clips...make them just look stupid. The lead in to these are what makes them funny.
Americans finally discovering comedy is wild
Should call it bromedy
pls make a 'BritCom starter pack' vid
Do we strike you?
didnt know fx aired in britain
it airs on bbc 2 and is on bbc iplayer here in the uk :)
@@humanmusicgroup thats awesome. another use for my vpn, thanks)
'American comedy'
Why do y'all specify britcom thats so weird
We don't want people accidentaly assuming we like American 'comedy'.
imagine if we started calling it americom
Or just 'Shitcom'
I wouldn't really consider What We Do In The Shadows britcom
What We Do In The Shadows doesn't count. It has three English leads but it's an American production by FX. Everyone who works on that show is American, bar those three actors and occasionally Waititi and/or Clement.
1:17 what show is this??
Inside No. 9
Peter Kay should not be mixed in with all this greatness.
What's wrong with Peter Kay?
2:10
this is overwhelmingly white
British comedy is officially dead.
Is this a joke?
@@colonyofrats4193 Sadly no. My favourite stand up Norm Macdonald sadly died last week. Canadian. I cant think of any good British modern standups these days. All woke and watered down. TV friendly and live at the Apollo. Maki g everyone smile and happy...🤢
None of this was funny, sincerely a Brit.
You need to now the context of all these clips to fine it funny though
@@colonyofrats4193 Yes, yes of course, it couldn't possibly be true that I have a valid but differing opinion.
It must be that I don't know the context and haven't seen any episodes of "The IT crowd" etc.
Sure whatever.
Apart from Cats does Countdown, you’ve picked some of the worst Britcom series possible 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Cats does Countdown is a panel show, not a Britcom...
@@krashd it’s a British Comedy panel show
Horrible histories,would I lie to you, taskmaster,ghosts and yonderland are all amazing
And it crowd
WWDITS not British. Ghosts is dogshit. Whole video is distinctly lacking in Ianucci, Morris, Coogan and Lee - the best British comedy writer/performers of the last three decades.
your name is e
@@cassiefromooo your point being?
Ghosts is brilliant what u talking about
Comedy is subjective mate
