Connor - a tea room is a genteel very British type of cafe where usually older people go for tea and cake and just about the last place there would be bloodshed hence Basil's joke.
The moment where basil asks if that was a piece of her brain was ad-libbed and wasn’t in the script. If you look closely, you can see the other two trying not to laugh because they didn’t know he was going to do that
The Nell Gwyn's Tearoom, named after a previous King's mistress, is an idyllic cafeteria in Windsor. It attracts a lot of tourists each year, but it used to be famous for attracting a lot of rich, older customers (hence the humour behind the idea of their having "bloodshed" there).
good on you Conner, for giving these old British shows a go and viewing them. I'm a New Zealander that was brought up on old British and American Comedies, and I can see how the British shows can be a challenge for a young American. British comedy is much more subtle, than American. And then you have different words and meanings. Hang in There.
🤣so great isn’t it he’s just Mad as a Hatter (Triva : Hatters who made hats used to use mercury which made the hatter to be eventually Mad so “Mad as a hatter “🤗) More Triva : Connie Booth the maid / receptionist used to be married to John Cleese and co wrote Fawtey Towers together , thanks Connor having good laugh does you wonders your reaction sometimes is a hit and Miss 🤣the lines are so quick to get the gags are difficult even we have problems so no worries ,love for you to put on the” Good Life On “ would be a real treat or “Vicar of Dibley “especially the episode with “ I can’t believe it’s not butter “ 🤣😂🤷♀️
It's understandable that you don't get all the jokes, some are in reference to things in the UK, so unless you live in the UK, so those kinds of jokes are likely to go over the head for people watching from abroad, but I wouldn't worry about it, not all humour is universal. A little advice, don't try to obsess over trying to understand all the jokes, just watch and enjoy what you can understand.
@philjones45 He's not going to get every reference because British English is different to US English in many ways. Especially when it's an old programme like this. I personally like the way he tries to understand it, rather than just faking a laugh.
Jeez, go easy on him, will you? hes like 20 years old and American. How could you possibly expect him to understand British humour from the 1970s? He still likes the show. And i understand where hes coming from; Im ridiculously pedantic when Im watching shows, I drive myself crazy. It can take me 2 hours to watch one episode of Mad Men because I keep rewinding bits that went over my head or googling references or jokes i dont get. I wish I could just enjoy it lol. Watching tv was a lot easier years ago when you had no choice but to watch it live, and if you missed something, then tough luck.
Can people please leave the guy alone he seems so sweet and his are very much the better american reactions to these shows he can’t be expected to understand every reference and he does well, laughs, and enjoys himself. i dont get why people like you find these comments necessary
Here is Part 3 guys!

Sadly, she passed away in 1992. Joan Sanderson.

"Is this a piece of your brain" 😂😂😂
One of the best of the series.

“Give it another 15 years?” Brilliant.
This is a really good episode. Don't understand ppl with hearing aid if they won't use it. Lol xx
Joan Sanderson, who plays Mrs Richards, was always good value as an actor, although she did tend to be typecast as something of a harridan.

Best round of charades ever! Basil points to his crotch, Polly: Small! xD

Connor......sometimes blonde is a colour that would suit you😂😂😂😂😂
What is Whit -Knitt?!.
😮😢
Make your own jokes up Connor, because obviously even sitcom humour is beyond you. Does this guy get ANY BRITISH JOKE??
@philjones
I have to assume you've just had a bad day. A wee whiskey and another comedy may be required.
@@seanmcmichael2551 dont you find him annoying?? He expects to understand every British joke. And when he doesnt he sulks. I find he very frustrating.
You are obviously a hippopotamus

Did anyone else come here to express their exasperation at how dumb Connor is?
@4yaears Nobody is forcing you to watch his videos. Go and project your self hatred somewhere else if you don't like him.
@@TheOrlandoTrustfull I happen to like Connor, he’s just infuriatingly dumb sometimes. I’m an avid fan.
