the plastic dome is in reference to the actual Millennium Dome that was build to celebrate the year 2000 and was filled with basically pointless exhibitions. It's now called the O2 Arena, which houses a 20,000 seater gig venue, a shopping mall, loads of restaurants and a cinema.
The biggest issue that made people angry with the dome wasn't the pointless crap they filled it with or the ridiculous cost it was the fact it was deliberately designed to last no more than a couple of decades pretty soon it'll either fall apart or they'll have to spend the GDP of a small country on repairs.
I actually went to exhibition at Millennium Dome and like it said on ticket it was one amazing Day in my opinion anyway, I have happy memories of that day, it annoyed me at time how media were speaking to people criticising the event who never actually attended it.
I once was sat opposite a lady on a bus with a piercing in her naval. She was either large or pregnant and it looked dangerously like it was going to fire out under pressure and take my eye out.

The funniest bit about 2:04 is the jab about privatised railways. In reality, service has got worse, prices have gone up and many of the companies are foreign owned - by foreign states!
Yeah, pretty much everyone said it was going to be a waste of money, except Tony Blair and the government who seemed to think it was going to be equivalent to The Sydney Opera House or The Eiffel Tower or something.
@@lmcgregorukactually the Dome was commissioned by the outgoing Tory Government under Major. Labour inherited it in May 1997 and with just two years to the millennium the money had already been largely spent. Its thanks to the Blair Government the O2 arena was born as the Tories had made no plan for what to do with it afterwards.
The railways being privatised and running on time is a piss take because they were privatised in reality and it's highly debatable if anything improved.
They made a slight mistake here (not on improving as that was obviously a joke). But the skit says its 63 years to 2001, so 1938. The Trains weren't nationalized until 1948 when the Government bought the private train companies.
They said they were privatised so that they wouldn't swallow up public funds, the privatised railways now get more funding than British Rail ever had for a far worse service while the "profits " are given to shareholders.

That's exactly what a friend of mine said to everyone who hadn't gone but thought they knew better. Different argument to whether other things should have been funded instead, or how badly the project was managed etc. I suppose believing the outcome was rubbish helps to confirm you were right if you were against the idea of it from the start.
If you like these, I suggest watching the Welsh version of piss taking in the form of John Sparkes’s “Barry Welsh Is Coming”. Hilarious stuff from the 2000’s.
The "Giant Tupperware Bowl" is a mickey-take out of the Millennium Dome that was built in Greenwich, London. When it opened to the public in January 2020 it featured numerous pointless 'zones' as they didn't really plan what to do with it after using it as a giant party venue for NYE for the Queen and Tony Blair. It's now called the O2 and hosts concerts and stuff (Fun Fact, I've been there a couple of times to watching taping of WWE Raw when it came to the UK)
I have become a bit bingey . The Millennium dome . You have such a cracking sense of humour . Belly button piercing 😮 My neighbour got one done after she had her hysterectomy. She wasn't exactly toned and skinny . But it made her feel good . Whatever. 😂😂 Let's all walk around on eggshells. Get out of fekking town . ♡
If you like those little production goofs like with the train... You'd LOVE Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's has loads of them and it has Matt Berry from IT crowd.

This is a very clever skit satirising "progress". Viewers are noted to observe that what looks on the surface as absurd miscalculation by filmmakers from the 1930s has actually come true, e.g. women working outside the home but still being expected to do most of the housework, cooking and childcare.
Watching the Royals from the USA (the "Boomers") is the highlight of my day when it's been a "sh...y" day. King Boomer's reaction to Harry Enfield sketches have me rolling on the floor...
Another great vid. Do like watching your reactions to our UK humour. If you want a classic then I would suggest an amazing film called Withnail & I. Although I don’t suggest you play the Withnail & I drinking game!
If you haven't seen them the 'women' ones are.... Women: Know Your Limits! Women: Keep Your Virtue Women: For Pity's Sake Don't Drive and there is also The Conjugal Rights Guide ....but I'm not sure how funny Queen Boomer would find them.
Very curious to know from you if the accents work. As a Brit, I can tell you they are a pitch-perfect pastiche of the ultra-posh BBC accent that dominated TV and radio back when I was a nipper. Just the word "Hello!" becomes comical. The sound-world alone of these clips cracks me up (with the perfect backtrack of wheezing brass bands on wonky gramophone players).
The tupperware dome is a reference to the millennium dome in London. Celebrated for being the biggest waste of uk tax payers money in the 20th century.
I say to you sir, what's the point in getting married if you have to cook your own food, do the washing and ironing, clean the house, look after the kids etc etc.
Once you hit a certain weight and age imo. I took mine out when I was in my early 30’s as I couldn’t be arsed putting it back in because I was having multiple surgeries also I think it looks tackier after a certain age. My sister is 10yrs older than me and still has her belly button piercing and she’s 57 lol. Mutton
@@travelbugse2829 some tattoos age badly, others don’t. It depends on what you’ve had done, where it is and how good the ink is and if you look after it. Many moons ago I was training to be a tattooist until poor health took hold. My sisters tattoo looks bad because at 57 she had the skin of someone in their late 70’s due to being a sun worshipper. She’s been asked many times over the years if she is my mum which pissed her off and made my day 😂. We don’t get on lol

As someone who has experienced privatised British trains, those lines were the strongest line of satire

I went to the dome as a kid and it was probably the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced. Such a shame.

Tonight I dare you to say to Queen Boomer "Now put my child to bed, make my dinner and darn my socks".
And the next IT Crowd reaction video will be livestreamed from the local hospital.
I'd be more impressed if he said ...
"Mrs Boomer....know your limits"

King boomer needs to record it as that reaction would go viral 😂👍
We’ll be able to tell if he did it or not if King Boomer is sporting a black eye in the next video! 😂🥊

I think that last bit where harry was "having it large", is a reference to his movie Kevin and Perry Go Large. It's so 1990s to say that.
Bowl gag is a nod to the Millennium Dome now known as the O2 Arena in London.

Still really hoping you watch Harry's "women: know your limits!" sketch, its my favourite and I still go back to it from time to time.

The finger pushing the train cracked me up.
you should really react to the "methods of self defence" PSA that Harry Enfield did as Mr Cholmodonley-Warner, its probably the funniest one he did.

Hey King Boomer. Harry Enfield also did a great set of black and white "movie originals" including the Bourne Identity and Basic Instinct. So good 😂
Jollity and having it large is referring to rave and club culture, ecstasy and dancing, getting thirsty needing water
You need to watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. I just know you'll love the humour. It's very similar to this type of humour
The Millenium Dome was a very expensive dud
Harry and Paul 'Where's the bloke?, The Surgeons '40...45'... and 'Quare'
The Best Harry and Paul was 'The writer'.

Really good Harry Enfield skits are the German Tourist vey funny and very well observed.

90s comedy here in the UK was by far the best. Check out Alan Partridge, The Day Today and Brass Eye.
The old gits bricking up the channel tunnel. They put the last brick in and say that will keep the buggers out.

Love the portable gramophones.
Harry is great, also check out Hale & Pace, they did sketch comedy from the late 80,s and early 90’s
The drug "Jollity" is a reference to Ecstasy.

There is a great Harry Enfield Mr Cholmondley-Warner sketch you haven't reacted to yet, it's called Diseases of the Mind
"Now the railways are privatised, all the trains run on time."
Because they've all been cancelled so they can't be late. Seriously that's what the train companies do so they don't get fined for poor service.
As you like Harry Enfield so much you need to check out “tele cockneys” 😂

I was slimmish when I had my belly button pierced but when I gained weight it got uncomfortable so I took it out.
When you get to a certain size/weight, you just have to change it up from a standard belly ring, to one of those rings a bull has through his nose
@jayplay-xk1zn Yes, I liked that as well. I live in Monaco, and I wish we could keep the buggering French out of here as well.
