3:59 It has that meaning in Britain too. It's a double entendre, poking fun at how language has changed over the years, just like the way the words "gay" and "queer" are used in this sketch.
After 30 years of reluctance to allow female friends to drive my car, I succumbed, in around 2008,, so,I allowed a Girlfriend to drive from my front drive, and off she went...........straight into my front garden wall. Another Lady left my house and reversed into a car on the other side of the road, without even noticing. Soon after I visited her and her husband and saw her car was smashed up, I looked at her husband and he just said, dryly, "Driver error" lol There is only a 10% difference in accidents in THe UK between Males and Females yet there are 4 ties more Male drivers who, average, annually, 3 times more miles covered and not confined, mainly, to School runs and local shops.
You chose a couple of the best Cholmondley-Warners here my dear, but they're all good. I love that she's called 'Cecily', somehow perfectly quaint. Near my home there used to be a large, sprawling scrapmetal yard, with wrecked cars piled on top of each other. We liked to call it the 'Ladies Driving School', much to my wife's chagrin (She was an excellent driver, btw). My chauvinist FIL loved it though.
If this was a new series put out today, the bullshit that would follow in the press would be, well sadly, predictable. I enjoy your reactions, Megan. All the best.
Not from me. lol I have had 44 years of,mainly,London driving and,so,after thousands of journeys I have learned the golden rule that most drivers of both genders are fine but IF there is a problem on the road caused by a driver(other than aggressive driving) then 9/10 it will be a Woman driver to blame even though there are 4 times more male drivers than Women.
Megan if you haven't already seen it, react to funny moments of the British TV show of the 90s called Keeping Up Appearances. It is one of the funniest TV shows I've ever seen. I'm from New York City and even I know about that masterpiece show.
Good morning Megan, how are you? Love your reactions towards Harry Enfield here, which is so funny 😁 here! Hope you have a beautiful weekend & stay safe! ❤️
“Spunky” relates to semen, sperm. They also use the terms “gay” and “queer” interchangeably which was normal for the times. I’d be surprised if anyone took this as more than a severe parody.
I, went on a drive with a Woman who wanted to show off her new car but she kept telling me that other drivers were "jealous" of her so off we went and on a Motorway, soon after, she did a constant 40mph in the "Overtaking" outside lane so was getting constantly hooted and she turned to me and said, "SEE WHAT I MEAN?"
Sadly Megan, this would not fly today, I doubt if Producers these days will get funding for this type of TV Comedy, but it is great you see this as comedy gold
Yes it would, but the generation that remembers what real public messages like this were like, who get the references, are more likely watching Talking Pictures TV than any modern comedy shows.
Yes, spunk also means semen in Britain, same as with Canada. The word has a dual use. As such, you'll never have heard of a woman being spunky even when the word was more commonly used.
Yes, gay used to mean someone who is happy & cheerful. Queer meant to be a bit strange, weird or even physically ill. Spunky was of course used to describe someone with energy, vigour and boldness. "he's a gay chap who's always full of spunk, but he sometimes has some queer ideas" OH DEAR.
I always liked the counter skit when you see a car for sale, '1 lady owner'. Meaning, it's never been out of 1st gear, even on m -ways cos thats where she hangs her handbag. Gulp!

If you like Harry & Paul. Check out there, DJs Smashie & Nicey. They're probably one of their most popular characters. They made quite a few sketches with them.
Harry Enfield & Chums was undoubtedly some of the best comedy (after Only Fools & Horses) that this country has produced. The Fast Show was excellent too, but Harry Enfield just beats it for me
To fit in here in the UK, never ever add the country after the place or town or city.. London England, thats a big no no in the UK... Its just London, or Paris or New York.. we never add the country after.... ;)
Love watching you doing reaction on english humour videos, especially Falwty Towers, Black Adder and Henry Enfield...its a delight :) ...Please could you do one other really big english comedian too, Benny Hill..that would be so good as well :)..he really was funny...
@@MeganRuth oopps,mean Harry Enfield ;)..not Henry..Im looking forward to see more of your reactions of those mentioned,more of those,hopefully :)..cheers from Stockholm Sweden..
This is so obviously comedy to us in the UK,but maybe not to hyper religious communities, for example in Afghanistan or the American Mid West Its good to mock their medieval level misogyny. Really enjoyed this Da iawn ti ( well done you, in the Welsh language).
"Perhaps you can entrap him with your complexion," says everything we need to know about the ridiculousness of "beauty" marketing since the birth of advertising.
For anyone who gets offended, it's poking fun at the way we used to think. It's a criticism of those ways, though, to be honest, they weren't nearly as harmful as wokeism is today.
You don’t need to say “London England”. People who don’t know where London is are unlikely to be watching and, even if they were, are not going to understand the video.

I love that line.
“He might seem a gay chap but he might be a queer short”.
" ... a queer sort."
I always say to my wife, shall i put my hat on at a jaunty angle?

"But I do know about embroidery and kittens, won't that suffice?" 🙃Oh for goodness sake! 😂 Loving your reactions to classic British comedy. :)
😂 hilarious! And thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them 😊
For pitys sake woman. Stop acting hysterical. Know your limits.
Yes you saw the comedy and laughed at the intention. That's great.Thanks.
One of my favourite actresses, Carmen Mendonca. She’s been in loads of tv series.
Carla, I believe.
Also on the radio - loved her voice as Jennifer in "Boogie Up The River".
you took it in the right spirit good stuff!
The Mr Cholmondeley-Warner b/w sketches are fun too.
Can’t believe I’ve just found your channel going to be watching so many of your reactions this evening! Hope you have an amazing Saturday
Thanks for the lovely comment! I’m glad you enjoy my channel :)

@@Isleofskye Fair enough mate. Nowadays with the so-called woke culture, Harry Enfield would be taken off air.

WOMEN... Know your limits!
Don't worry Spunky means something else in the UK as well ;-)

It absolutely would. If you think it wouldn't, I don't think you get the joke.
Stupid remark.
I'm surprised that you haven't looked at One Foot In The Grave yet Megan it's hilarious.
Love your reaction
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them 😊

They made quite a few sketches with them.
You should watch Harry's pharmacist clips, along with Women Know Your Limits.
I miss these kinda comedy sketch shows. You should also check out incredible UK TV shows Big Train, Chewin' the Fat and Brass Eye :-)

Affable uncles!!!😂
The Arsenal 1933 v Liverpool 1991 match is very funny.
Many a true word are spoken in jest
You'd like Harry and Paul - Dragon's Den and When Harry Met Sally
awsome as always
Thank you! 😊
Have a look at The Surgeons and especially 40 to 45 years, they are brilliant sketches 😊😊😊😊
Don't suppose you'd react to some Hale and Pace. Particularly the Cat and Microwave sketch.
YOU NEED TO WATCH ARMSTRONG AND MILLER AS ALEX GOES WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, ITS HILARIOUS 😊😊😊. CHEERS
Their fighter pilot sketches are well worth an watch too.
i can advice you to watch him in the 'i saw you coming' sketches andmthe 'dragons den' spoofs. they are hilarious 😂
Hello, check out the first 4 series of a British comedy called The Brittas Empire. (Avoid the very first episode, though. It got better after that).
You’re such a sweet lady! Happy weekend
I know which era I prefer..
Love watching you doing reaction on english humour videos, especially Falwty Towers, Black Adder and Henry Enfield...its a delight :) ...Please could you do one other really big english comedian too, Benny Hill..that would be so good as well :)..he really was funny...

Yeah, it was typical of men in 1930s to behave like this.😂 I am an old man from England and remember lots of men. Only clubs and old boys like this.😅
Afternoon Megan 😊 would you ever react to the inbetweeners movies I don’t know if you have yet don’t think you have
I will after I finish the series :)
This looks like Donald Trump produced these anti women videos.
Well I think we should go back to the gold standard...
Great reaction Megan but please remember as a woman you must know your limits
Thank you! 😆 Will do!
😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
How does this English humour compare with American?
Why Canadians sound so much like Americans?... To us brits anyway
