Yes! Paddington Bear. You are the first American to get that. Well done. I always enjoy your reactions. Edit: Please react to the Welsh genius who is touching the hearts of millions. You will not regret watching "Hi Ren" by Ren. I promise you will love it and you will want to see more.
They're not the first Americans to get the Paddington reference, I've seen plenty of Americans react to this video who knew who Paddington bear was 🙄..
Al is an historian and has a degree from Oxford University which is why he's so knowledgeable in his comedy. He's done a lot of documenturies for the History channel.
@@claymor8241 😆 I’m not saying it’s not obvious, but in many reactions the reactors don’t laugh as if the joke was missed. And the audience barely titters. All the best to you 🍻
He's the best stand up I know for getting to know who his audience is, he spend the first part of his act learning people's names, profession and if they are anyone from over seas, he never forgets who's who and will often drop a reference to people in the middle of a joke

Great reaction thanks it's good to hear you laugh and yes Al does have a chat with the audience before filming the show so he knows which ones to single out, take care and keep the videos coming.
Paddington bear is from Peru and was named Paddington after where he ended up, Paddington Station, which is a large London railway station with a lovely statue of Paddinton bear with his little case.
@@zo7034 😂 the teddy bears were first made by Jeremy Clarkson’s Mum but not the actual story and character which was Michael Bond… I think Clarkson’s Mum made some Paddington teddy bears for her kids (Jeremy being one of them) and after that their company made them to order
@@Supersleuth42 Surely, the point was, she didn't invent Paddington - that was the author Michael Bond, who was also a BBC cameraman, who worked on Blue Peter.
@@wessexdruid7598 I look stupid twice now 🤣🤣 the original comment was changed and I actually typed that Jeremy was one of his Mum’s kids 🤣🤣🤣 I’m going back to bed
As others have said he was referencing Paddington bear. For a short reaction video have a look at the Paddington bear meets the Queen compilation. Totally charming and highlights a playful side of our late Queen,
Only just discovered you guys as this video was recommended in my feed. I am from UK and love al murray. Immediately like both of you and look forward to watching much more of you. Had to subscribe straight away
The joke about Peru and bears is a joke about Padington Bear. The jokes about Bulgaria and Moldova is also a joke about the Wombles, which is a childrens show that has been around since the 1980s. We used to get both shows growing up as kids in Australia.
Checkout AL Murray with his rendition of ( what Hell is like in different languages) it’s absolutely hilarious, AL has 20 different dates touring the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and it’s already nearly a sellout,he is is a national treasure, great reaction thanks 🙏
Well done guys - bold of you to take on this video with a lot of references you would not be immediately familiar with. Al goes at such a pace and with so many comments and "mini jokes" you did really well. All the UK type comedians you watch are obviously helping acclimatise you to UK humour.
118 India if a reference to call centres in India, as most toll free numbers in the Uk start with 118. Falkland’s islands is reference to a war we had against Argentina (there is no oil there) just penguins. Peru is reference to Paddington Bear (watch the film Paddington)
BP is sucking the sea dry of oil off the Falklands over the last decade - 100% war for oil. Thatcher didn't give a shit about that small community on the island. Sad but true.
118 is not a reference to toll-free phone numbers. 118 was the dialling code introduced around 2002 - 2003 when BT's 192 and 142 Directory Enquiry services were switched off. Most call-centres for this service were based in India due to the much lower cost as opposed to the prices charged by UK call-centres, hence AM's reference to "118-dia". His comment "the Geordie's asked for too much" refers to the research discovery that one of the most trusted accents in the UK for sales purposes is a Newcastle accent, and many call-centres were based there for that reason, but at a higher cost than 3rd world countries. The most publicised 118 service during its introduction was 118 118 which was owned by a US company and featured two moustachioed men dressed as runners in athletic kit.
@@stevet7695 The runners' appearance was modelled on the once-famous English long-distance runner David Bedford, who eventually took the company to court for caricaturing his image without permission (and then lying about it).
Actually, the Oil is just off the Falklands Islands and the whole dispute was about licencing the drilling for oil when we reneged on an agreement we had made previously with Argentina, when they allowed us to be there in the first place. Blame M Thatcher for pissing them off, because she knew we could win (and having a war, any war, helped her election chances) - ask Al Murray when he is not on stage as the Landlord
First time seeing you two and may I say, how refreshing to find a channel where your laughter is not forced, your attention is genuine and your perception and discerment of any language difference between the U.S.A. and the Uk is remarkable. Thank you. (Also Madam, your laughter is very infectious.)
The best bit is Al's now a widely-published and respected historian :D I recommend his 'We Have Ways' podcast with James Holland and his new book about about the Battle of Arnhem
118 is like a directory helpline. All the calls used to be answered by (& the advert had) Geordie's in Newcastle but the jobs were eventually shipped to Indian call centres. 118dia
I've seen Al Murray three times. But getting front row seats is virtually impossible as everyone wants the chance to be verbally dissected by this genius.
I love how the occasional person wint get that it's his character and come out with nonsense. You REALLY need to watch some episodes of Philomena Cunk!
Great fun, loved watching your reaction, Al Murray is great fun, his Pub Landlord is old-style iconic. I really enjoyed his short-running TV series "Time Gentlemen Please" a sitcom primarily written by Richard Herring and Al Murray.. amazing cast of characters
i find watching great British tv an humour with you both is great and it makes me feel not alone as i live on my own many thanks keep it going guys ,Pail kennedy UK
Hi guys, if you are able to I would suggest that you try to watch the beginning of one of Al's shows. He goes along the front row and roasts several of the people, he also remembers what they've said and their names. This is why you see him going back to certain people during the rest of the show and including them in his routine. His memory is awesome as is his knowledge of so many different subjects. 🤣🤣
They have done that one, which was great. No bleeps or anything. They took one for the team! I was one of those who had requested that and the wait was worth it.
Great reaction as usual to Al Murray RNTV. Another one of Al's funny comedy sketches is "What Hell Is Like In Different Countries" (7.48 mins) and is so hilarious. Keep up the great work Mike and Jess. 😅🤣😂
I am lucky to have Al Murray as a local. Saw him this week along the high road. He read history at St Edmund's Hall in Oxford, and gave a talk at Chiswick Book Festival about Arnhem last month
I saw Al earlier this year on tour. The hour and a half show a about 10 minutes actual material and the rest was getting to know and joking with the audience. Every show he always chats to about 15 people, always manages to remember their names and is just incredibly funny. He's a true comical genius
There is a whole series called Time Gentlemen Please involving the Pub Landlord up on TH-cam. Best thing about it is Al Murray uploaded it himself so it will not be taken down.
Al didn’t find a German person before the show, he just picks random audience members. He’d find jokes no matter what country they said because his knowledge of history is phenomenal. Most of his shows are actually a dig at Britain but it’s great as we’re renowned for laughing at ourselves.😅
Love your reactions to Al! I actually bumped into him last weekend in Cambridge in the Eagle pub! He was performing at the Corn Exchange next door! He's such a lovely fella ❤
You are correct Jess, it was a reference to Paddington Bear, supposed to be from Peru, found at, and named after Paddington Train Station, favourite food marmalade sandwiches. Referring to India as 118dia, most call centre lines have a 118 prefix, most of them used to be in the North-East of England, moved to India as a cost cutting measure. There used to be a band in the 1960s called "The Move" when they split up, one of the bands formed of ex-members was ELO, another one was a band called "Wizzard" they had a huge Christmas hit in 1972 with "I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day". Every Christmas since then it keeps popping up in the charts, hence "Christmas Island, where it is Christmas every day, someone should tell Wizzard and they can f-----g knock it off". When he was describing the Balkans, and referred to the womble country, The Wombles were characters in a kids tv show, one of them was called "Great Uncle Bulgaria".
Guy's, love the channel... You've gotta react to the finest Busker/ songwriter in Britain...Gerry Cinnamon “Belter”! You will NOT be disappointed! TRUST
One of those two ladies (the lady that with the lovely laugh and who came forward to "measure"' and with a Canadian friend to her left) responded to another review of this and she was wonderful. They were put in those seats by chance apparently (he thinks again!) 🙃 I hope she comments here.
I’m not sure if you have heard of “Jethro” sadly he’s no longer with us but he is/was a great comedian who is sadly missed. Well worth a visit with plenty on youtube. You were right with Paddington bear! All the best. Rab
Yep Paddington Bear came from Peru but his aunt Lucy still lives there. He was found at Paddington Railway station by the Brown family and that is where he got his name Paddington.
You have reacted to a Lee Evans stand-up but he is also a really good singer and would perform his own songs at the end of some of his shows, you should react to Lee Evans' "Song For His Wife, Funny Man, 3 Second Memory, and Philosophy On Life" 4 of his best songs.
Count Dankula recently did a report on how the red squirrels are fighting back, the grey squirrels are in serious decline, soon the grey squirrel will be no more in Britain...ok the red squirrels had help from humans setting traps all over the UK but it still counts.
@@annicecooper8105 and that's the invasive grey squirrels, they've not afraid of people anymore . You have to go out of the cities to get a glimpse of the red ones as they're more elusive.
My dad punched a horse once when it stood on my foot and wouldn't move. It moved. My dad was a big fellow. You're welcome for the story. Thanks for the reactions.
Yes, you absolute princess that is exactly what the reference was. Yeah, it was Paddington all the way. Between the two of you honestly this is chuckle fucking vision. It’s just too good too good it’s great stuff thank you.
In case it hasn't been mentioned already, the background scenery is a mock-up of an English pub, and Al Murray has/had a sitcom based on a public house.
Hi Mike and Jess. Seen many of your podcasts. There’s a group of the eighties. Deacon Blue. I don’t think they were greatly known in the states. But are a Scottish band. And we’re pretty big in the 80s and 90s TH-cam love and regret live. Loaded live. There’s many more . And should have been huge. Like you there married and still touring with the band.
Al Murray doesn't speak to the audience before the show, anyone who goes to his show knows they are at his mercy, and if he finds an audience member with a funny name or an interesting job, he will latch on to them for the whole show, constantly coming back to run jokes off them.. He is the best comedian for audience interaction
The reference is Paddington Bear. Obviously there were some 'in' jokes that only Brits would get. You should try watching the Paddington Bear with Queen Elizabeth video.
In the first half of his shows he goes around to everyone in the audience (in view at least) and talks to them. So this is how he knows things about them, that if you are only watching this clip, you wouldn't know the context thereof. Usually, this also ties in to his second part where he has his actual show and what the tour is about. This given tour was about Nations and GB. (and was ages ago, I think it's either early 00's or late 90s even).

They're not the first Americans to get the Paddington reference, I've seen plenty of Americans react to this video who knew who Paddington bear was 🙄..
Good shout on Ren
Yeah, we need a Ren Rabbit Hole on this channel! 😆
REN is a must.
Jess is spot on with Peru and Paddington Bear!
Al is an historian and has a degree from Oxford University which is why he's so knowledgeable in his comedy. He's done a lot of documenturies for the History channel.
And muchly under-rated, they are.
His sketch he used to do about in what year Britain defeated any country on the planet is amazing.
He also a WW2 podcast called "We have ways of making you talk."
Paddington Bear is famous for his love of marmalade and he is particularly fond of it in marmalade sandwiches.
He also came from Peru.
@@vidiveniviciDCLXVI Darkest Peru. 😃
I highly recommend - Al Murray - "What hell is like in different countries", absolutely brilliant.

Been waiting for this one!...... . Only ever seen ONE American reactor get the Paddington Bear joke so don't feel bad 😊
Every crowd interaction is all completely live and genuine which makes the show even better.
23:23 spot on with Paddington bear😂
He came to Guernsey recently and I actually got a chance to heckle him and got advanced to the front row. Absolutely love this guy.😁
So what happens to the people who already have tickets for the front row, I presume they sell out first
hahaha nice what ya say to him?
He is a genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Thank you, enjoyed watching it with you!!!
Great reaction thanks it's good to hear you laugh and yes Al does have a chat with the audience before filming the show so he knows which ones to single out, take care and keep the videos coming.
Finally ! Thank you for doing this one. Still the best. Glad you enjoyed it 😄😍
This is great!! Laughing at Al Murray and laughing at you both laughing!!!
Well done on getting more jokes than most Americans - especially the Paddington joke which no Yank ever gets!

When young Wombles reach a certain age they get to pick their name from an atlas, which is why they're all named after places.
@@jjc5407 that must only be in Great Uncle Bulgaria's burrow, because I'm pretty certain that you'll not find Madame Cholet or MacWomble in any atlas.

Jess, I have to congratulate you. Your the only American, who picked up on Paddington Bear. You must be part British! :)
Well done, you for getting the reference to Paddington Bear 👍
We love our pub landlord Al ;)
I find it lovely that you Americans get our sense of humour and not a lot of it has gone over your heads!..
Impressed you got the Paddington Bear reference welldone Lass!
Yes, you absolute princess that is exactly what the reference was. Yeah, it was Paddington all the way. Between the two of you honestly this is chuckle fucking vision. It’s just too good too good it’s great stuff thank you.
In case it hasn't been mentioned already, the background scenery is a mock-up of an English pub, and Al Murray has/had a sitcom based on a public house.
He’s currently touring. Got my tickets for Leeds in March!
Am glad I found this video that guy is hilarious 😂😂😂😂🇬🇧
great reaction guysss
Hi Mike and Jess. Seen many of your podcasts. There’s a group of the eighties. Deacon Blue. I don’t think they were greatly known in the states. But are a Scottish band. And we’re pretty big in the 80s and 90s TH-cam love and regret live. Loaded live. There’s many more . And should have been huge. Like you there married and still touring with the band.
Al Murray doesn't speak to the audience before the show, anyone who goes to his show knows they are at his mercy, and if he finds an audience member with a funny name or an interesting job, he will latch on to them for the whole show, constantly coming back to run jokes off them.. He is the best comedian for audience interaction
I like you two, America and UK has a special bond.
I learnt more about geography watching this than I ever did at school. Great reaction.
I particularly like the bit around 15.22 where the Americans have no clue lol ....... Research is a marvellous tool :)
The reference is Paddington Bear. Obviously there were some 'in' jokes that only Brits would get. You should try watching the Paddington Bear with Queen Elizabeth video.
A clever, clever comedian. Seen him live. A lot of it is historically correct with an injection of comedic British charm - up to a point!?
In the first half of his shows he goes around to everyone in the audience (in view at least) and talks to them. So this is how he knows things about them, that if you are only watching this clip, you wouldn't know the context thereof. Usually, this also ties in to his second part where he has his actual show and what the tour is about. This given tour was about Nations and GB. (and was ages ago, I think it's either early 00's or late 90s even).
