I mean, firstly, how the f*ck can you not spell ‘Hogan’? Embarrassing. Secondly, I think you mean they found ‘A’ Chad Hogan. You say it as if there’s only one, or as if Kevin Bridges was referring to a specific one. Finally, you could do with explaining who ‘they’ are. Otherwise, brilliant and worthwhile comment. Excellent work. 👍
@@andrewmay1299 Both Hoggan and Hogan are correct surname spellings, so unless the specific spelling of said individual is known, it doesn't matter. Why has the comment got you worked up, maybe go out side, chill out 😉👍.
@@andrewmay1299 Its the Scottish way of spelling Hoggan.Remember language is a wonderful thing,Think your perception of incorrect spelling is a bit harsh.”They” were Kevins producers who went out and found a random guy in the states with the same name.When kevin was doing the skit he just randomly called out what he perceived as an North American name.Then obviously with social media it wasn’t long before he was appearing on stage with Chad.Next time i put a glib comment up i will make sure its been 100% ratified by the youtube content police!
Commenting before watchin but Kevin is 100% accrate on this. An empty was the fuckin holy grail of events. Anythin could happen and mostly everythin would and did
Disappearing jackets, hoodies, TVs, microwaves, beers, smashed mirrors and coffee tables, Christmas decorations up in the summer etc was actually very common in the 90s early 2000s here in Ireland.
First time I met Kevin Bridges was at a house party a college mate invited me to about 18months before this special…he had us all in stitches most of the night, my ribs were hurting with laughter. It’s been great to watch his career go from strength to strength
@KingBoomer when he mentions Dennis the Menace, he’s on about the British version, a spiky haired school boy with a black/red striped jumper, usually accompanied by his dog Gnasher
In 1973, I was 16, , I had a going away party when I joined the RN. The police were called. The cop was one of my Petty Officer instructors in the Sea Cadets He stood in the kitchen drinking 'shandy' 😂
There is proper baseball but also several softball leagues. A while back, I played in a softball league for people who worked for charities or NGOs in London - I think we had about 60 teams.
This just reminded me of the show "Gary Tank Commander", because Kevin Bridges appeared in one episode. Hilarious Scottish comedy about the misadventures of 4 soldiers and their tank who have just come back to Scotland from the war (Iraq in the first series, Afghanistan in the second). It stars Greg McHugh, who plays Gary McLintoch of the title. Well worth a look. Especially series 1, episode 3, where Gary is given the job of looking after a visiting American General.
Around when this was filmed was a great time for UK stand up comedy. Many of the acts that came through then are still the biggest names, like John Bishop, Micky Flanagan, Sarah Millican. Also check out Dane Baptiste, Kerry Godliman, Joe Lycett, Gina Yashere.
We have a national baseball league (American rules) here in the U.K. but it’s nowhere near as highly funded and popular as in America. However interest in it is growing.
Good comedians are often very wise and observant, as good humour depeds on truth. If it's not real, the audience won't laugh. Politicians are not known for their honesty. Someone I found recently, though not new, is Josh Johnson. Very clever comedy.
I love Kevin Bridges, as we say in Glasgow, he is, “Pure Dead Brilliant”!! Please do more of him cos it’s great to see an American reaction to Glaswegians lol 🙏🏻
I remember probably our first big house party that got out of control. Older boyfriend of a girl in my school year answered the door, immediately knew it was all going to go wrong. People were coming to the house just to steal, people were pissing in the kitchen corner, someone or some people kicked through every door in the house including all the cupboards. As I left I remember seeing the girl who’d hosted it sobbing on the stairs and police actually came to our Monday morning school assembly!
There is a British Baseball Federation. Also, Wikipedia: In 1938, the Great Britain national baseball team won the Baseball World Cup, and were runners-up in the 1967 and 2007 European Baseball Championship. [2] As of 2020 [update] , Great Britain competed internationally at under 12, under 15, under 18, under 23 and senior levels.
DBP is a legend. Get Your Own Back was a kids gameshow where the winner got the adult of their choice (usually their teacher) dropped in a pool of gunge.
I played rounders at school. I would not go to a game of rounders as a grown ass adult unless I had a child that was playing😂 but then again people run around on brooms playing quidditch pretending to be Harry Potter so....
8:28 Looking to Kevin Bridges for wisdom isn’t entirely the wrong path. I mean you need other paths too mate, but Kevin Fuckin’ Bridges has a few pearls IMHO. 12:42 Dave Benson Philips is a legend man! I once drove 100 miles to see the guy live 😂
A house party in the North of Scotland sees a stack of beer higher than your head and a table covered in Vodka bottles. If it's a housewarming party then you might have to move some furniture. I had to build a bed, once .
There is organized baseball in the U.K., and there is even a national Baseball team for the U.K. But not very highly ranked at all. In the Netherlands on the other hand it is VERY popular. I was a Softball coach and then a basball coach for about 12 years here in the Netherlands. NL has a pretty sucessful team (for a country of 17 million people) and are always vying for top spot in Europe with Spain and sometimes Italy.
I was the guy in the corner for many parties.. Where i lived at the time there was a family living either side of me, when the kids got to like 16/17 years old, the parent would go on holiday and let the kids stay at home if they wanted. They were allowed a party, but with a few rules.. No more than X amount of people, only beer & wine, a few other rules and finally I had to be there to watch over them. So i acted as doorman when everyone arrived, making sure they were on the list, then generally kept an eye on everyone to make sure nobody was getting out of control. I used to either be sat on the kitchen counter keeping an eye on who was getting what drinks, or sat in the corner. And yeah i was always smoking weed and 9-10 times would try to get the pets stoned. The family on the left of my house had a british bulldog called Lola, i got stoned, then i got her stoned, then i fed her an entire bag of cheesy watsits before she fell asleep in my lap and drooled all over my trousers. Only ever had to throw one person out and that was because he had a few too many beers and got into an argument with his GF because some other boy had spoken to her, then he slapped her a couple of times. So i just grabbed the back of his clothes, lifted him clean off the ground and marched towards the front door, once i got him outside, i gave him a few slaps for his trouble and sent him on his way home. Oh and we did have to shut one party down, but most of the people wouldnt leave, so i told the 2 kids who's party it was (my next door neighbors and probably 18 at the time) that i would be back in about 2 mins i was going to fetch "CUJO".... Cujo was my dog, he was an American Akita and built like a cart horse, he was also trained to be a protection dog. Anyway, i went into the back garden, through the side gate into my house and harnessed up the dog, i made sure to rile him up a bit on the way lol.. Then we suddenly burst into the house, Cujo barking like a cannon going off and snarling and showing teeth, while im yelling "WE SAID GET THE FUCK OUT... NOW GO!" Most people cleared out instantly, but you always get one or two that want to try and show off. One such idiot found out the hard way what 6.5 stone of angry dog feels like as it slams into you full power. He picked up a beer bottle and was "suggesting" that he was gonna bonk me on the head with it. So Cujo just lunged at him, ploughed straight into him, putting him on the floor, then just stood over the lad snarling in his face. I called Cujo back and the kid got up and made a sharp exit, along with the rest of the stragglers. It was funny, both the dog and i had "A Rep" at their school.. Most of the people in the same school year as the kids who lived either side, knew about me and the dog. I few times i would be walking Cujo through the town center and i would bump into one of my neighbors who was hanging out with friends and the friends would be like "Wait.. Is that Cujo?, I've heard about him...." Lol (If you ever saw Henry Cavill's (superman's) dog called Kal El, my cujo looked like he was Kal's brother, they were the same age and had the exact same markings) I used to enjoy playing bouncer every so often. The parents would get me a little bag of weed for the night because i kept the houses and kids safe. And i was free to help myself to drink (although i usually only had 3-4 beers), i got to hang out in a party situation and to top it all off i got to boss around teenagers. What more could you want in life :D Only thing i didnt really like, was when the girls had a few sips of wine and started trying to flirt with me. I mean, c'mon i was like 33-34 and they were 16-19, ive got pairs of underpants older than that. So i just used to reply with a "Aww thanks, but i already have a GF" then they would stagger off back to their friends.
My son had a party with his band playing. They started with "Manic Depression" and in minutes our phone started ringing off the hook by neighbors!!!!! "WTF?" 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂😂😂
Bridges is a national treasure loved by any Brit that loves quality comedy and after huge commercial success is still greatly respected by the club circuit comics. He also always comes across as a good bloke in interviews.
90s house parties were indeed special, I can recount parties that were "given" to me because my parents went away.. Funniest and most notable.. The smell of vomit in the hallway that lasted more than a month, because someone never made it into the toilet, vomited on the toilet door, (Catherine , why does our house smell of vomit?) The glass door that got smashed, (Catherine, why is the door broken?) A friend of mine ended up in our pond and broke the membrane , (Catherine, what happened to our pond?) (They had already smelt the vom in the hallway, soooo... Catherine, did your friends drink my Pernod?? Catherine, why is there cooked spaghetti hanging on our Rosemary bush? Catherine, why are there CDS strewn about the garden like forgotten frisbees? 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤣 They couldn't "ground" me because I didn't ever go out anywhere, and I didn't have anything they could take away from me as punishment. I thank my parents for being so cool about all of it, I hope I will be a cool parent to my boys in the same way 😂😊
As a rapidly growing sport in the UK, there are baseball clubs all around the country that cater to adults, juniors, and students in leagues that range from social and recreational, to competitive. Whether you're a rookie or a pro, whether you're an adult, junior, student or company, we can help get you in the game.
Fun fact: To the best of my knowledge, Jim Henson shopped 'The Muppet Show' around all the American networks and got rejected. It eventually found a home at London Weekend Television in the UK. Where I watched it as a wee child some 45 years ago.
I grew up in a town renowned for sports and went to quite a few schools played rounders at every one, only played baseball at last school but loved it, rather distinct memory of one game where we ended up with a new kid who was somali and barely spoke a word of English and I was left the honour of explaining the rules to him, proceeded to explain the whole game 😂 be fair he wasn't the worst
Get your own back was a childrens game show where children would compete against parents or teachers. If the kids won, the adults would be dunked in gunge. But I think regardless they always were. Dave Benson Phillips would host it. I hope you’ll react to Kevin’s explanation and an episode of it.
Yeah man, my old housemate played in a baseball team in a baseball league. Like a weekend thing. Enough players to make some teams and enough teams to make some leagues I guess
The house party I remember most and attended, the guy who's parents were away did announce it and the house was quite near to school. All the wrong people showed up and stole anything worth anything from the house, including games console and all games, the guys parent's jewelry, everything. The house was gutted of all valuables and a lot of damage was done, even to the brick wall in the garden, tore down. The estimated damage and loss was £30,000. I left that party before all that chit went down, but heard about it the next day. The person throwing the party was like a swot that had no idea what would happen if he told the school he was throwing a party. Insane times, around the early 1990's like literally 1991 or 1992. Poor fella. What must his parents have thought (and done!)
I was at that gig in Glasgow's SECC venue. I was also at the follow up tour in the same venue for his next recorded special, when he managed to find a real-life Chad Hogan from small-town America and bring him on-stage to huge applause. Also, there is some organised Baseball in Britain, but it's pretty much a handful of clubs only in England... even though they are part of the "British Baseball Federation", despite there being no clubs from Scotland or Wales (or Northern Ireland; but that's not technically Britain, even if NI unionists think it is). Tis a pity the clip finished prematurely.... it led onto the classic "Boooo! Gunge the paedo!" bit.
There are amateur baseball leagues. We get loads of live MLB, NFL, and College Football over here, and obviously MLS. I love baseball and gridiron. I played in an amateur football league in the 80s. I was a linebacker. King's Lynn Patriots. New England sent us loads of stuff.
They used to have an international match in 'baseball' between England and Wales. I think there are TH-cam videos of it. You see an ice cream van in the background.
Search: 1983 England v Wales (british baseball). One difference is you can hit the ball behind. I think the teams are mainly from Cardiff/Newport for Wales and Liverpool for England. Two players, David Bishop and Mark Ring went on to play rugby union for Wales too.
Damnit KB (King Boomer) & KB (Kevin Bridges) now I'm feeling a strong urge to look up that jungle remix of Sesame Street here on YT, thanks for that :( lol
Did exactly this moid 90's. Got away with it barring one small mistake. I bought the wrong colour (I'm red/green colourblind) replacement vase which got broken. So close. The good old days!
There are very minor baseball leagues and American football leagues in the UK. Derby County football club (soccer) used to play at the the "Baseball ground" until about 20 years ago, and you can guess where the name came from.
I went to an empty in the 60s. So many things were taken home (stolen) including a whole shelf full of African carvings. I was appalled. No microwaves in the 60s.😂
Don't you take this away from me!!! House parties are one of the coolest things about the USA. Hangover, Weird Science, Old school, etc... I stopped at about 32!! from 25, until then. I was the older guy. 🤣😂😅 (not the dog thing, and 19+) A rounders bat is smaller, you'd feel less safe with one. Baseball bats have a better swing. (I don't have a baseball bat)
Anecdotally, baseball was (and maybe still is) in Liverpool and my home town of Cardiff - though I imagine it's closer to rounders. Bit of research suggests it was another UK origin sport, since 1755, seems it was not rounders and we won the inaugural 'world cup' in1938 beating the USA 4-1. Seems post war we lost interest, but my dad played in the 70s against clubs from Liverpool - hence my earlier assertion. Nice work.
I remember one just up the road from me, the place was packed, 3 meat wagons turned up, gathers everywhere, i was only 14, I was gone like Usain Bolt 😂
They’ve just changed a Football pitch to a Baseball diamond near where I work and it’s always busy at weekends and for mid week practice.Thats 2 near me!!Finsbury Park and Golders Green.
I was once with my 5 year younger brother at a house party, long time ago, and i was that old guy, who got baited by a couple of younglings into teaching them how to roll a proper blunt, in the bathroom ofc, because the parents were home.. Long story short, they found us and we got kicked out :D

Older, pot smoking dude...is their DEALER!!!😂😂😂
One of the very best
90s house parties were indeed special,
I can recount parties that were "given" to me because my parents went away..
Funniest and most notable..
The smell of vomit in the hallway that lasted more than a month, because someone never made it into the toilet, vomited on the toilet door, (Catherine , why does our house smell of vomit?)
The glass door that got smashed, (Catherine, why is the door broken?)
A friend of mine ended up in our pond and broke the membrane
, (Catherine, what happened to our pond?)
(They had already smelt the vom in the hallway, soooo...
Catherine, did your friends drink my Pernod??
Catherine, why is there cooked spaghetti hanging on our Rosemary bush?
Catherine, why are there CDS strewn about the garden like forgotten frisbees?
🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤣
They couldn't "ground" me because I didn't ever go out anywhere, and I didn't have anything they could take away from me as punishment.
I thank my parents for being so cool about all of it,
I hope I will be a cool parent to my boys in the same way 😂😊
As a rapidly growing sport in the UK, there are baseball clubs all around the country that cater to adults, juniors, and students in leagues that range from social and recreational, to competitive. Whether you're a rookie or a pro, whether you're an adult, junior, student or company, we can help get you in the game.
Fun fact: To the best of my knowledge, Jim Henson shopped 'The Muppet Show' around all the American networks and got rejected. It eventually found a home at London Weekend Television in the UK. Where I watched it as a wee child some 45 years ago.
Love the new intro.
Definitely follow up the get your own back joke with Kevin Bridges. It's hilarious. All of his stuff is worth a watch mate.
I grew up in a town renowned for sports and went to quite a few schools played rounders at every one, only played baseball at last school but loved it, rather distinct memory of one game where we ended up with a new kid who was somali and barely spoke a word of English and I was left the honour of explaining the rules to him, proceeded to explain the whole game 😂 be fair he wasn't the worst
Get your own back was a childrens game show where children would compete against parents or teachers. If the kids won, the adults would be dunked in gunge. But I think regardless they always were. Dave Benson Phillips would host it. I hope you’ll react to Kevin’s explanation and an episode of it.
Search for 'Kevin Bridges meets Chad Hogan'
Yeah man, my old housemate played in a baseball team in a baseball league. Like a weekend thing. Enough players to make some teams and enough teams to make some leagues I guess
Please check out either the full show or at least more of this joke as it's part of a much bigger joke and American related satire
The house party I remember most and attended, the guy who's parents were away did announce it and the house was quite near to school. All the wrong people showed up and stole anything worth anything from the house, including games console and all games, the guys parent's jewelry, everything. The house was gutted of all valuables and a lot of damage was done, even to the brick wall in the garden, tore down. The estimated damage and loss was £30,000. I left that party before all that chit went down, but heard about it the next day. The person throwing the party was like a swot that had no idea what would happen if he told the school he was throwing a party. Insane times, around the early 1990's like literally 1991 or 1992. Poor fella. What must his parents have thought (and done!)
So true
I was at that gig in Glasgow's SECC venue. I was also at the follow up tour in the same venue for his next recorded special, when he managed to find a real-life Chad Hogan from small-town America and bring him on-stage to huge applause.
Also, there is some organised Baseball in Britain, but it's pretty much a handful of clubs only in England... even though they are part of the "British Baseball Federation", despite there being no clubs from Scotland or Wales (or Northern Ireland; but that's not technically Britain, even if NI unionists think it is).
Tis a pity the clip finished prematurely.... it led onto the classic "Boooo! Gunge the paedo!" bit.
"Jockanese" is the language of Scottish pmsl 😂
There are amateur baseball leagues. We get loads of live MLB, NFL, and College Football over here, and obviously MLS. I love baseball and gridiron. I played in an amateur football league in the 80s. I was a linebacker. King's Lynn Patriots. New England sent us loads of stuff.
I have American family and I do love them very much but he's pretty spot on with this lmao
was hoping this was the clip with "The kettle incident"
There's organised Baseball on Merseyside and South Wales
The MLB has the London Series each year, but other than that I've never encountered baseball in the wild over here. Real shame.
They used to have an international match in 'baseball' between England and Wales. I think there are TH-cam videos of it. You see an ice cream van in the background.
Search: 1983 England v Wales (british baseball). One difference is you can hit the ball behind. I think the teams are mainly from Cardiff/Newport for Wales and Liverpool for England.
Two players, David Bishop and Mark Ring went on to play rugby union for Wales too.
Your previous comments on the inbetweeners ,The Caravan episode the girls were so loose like throwing a whellie in a tunnel 😂😂
Baseball is played, there are leagues, but its at a small scale. I'm pretty sure MLB has held games at some of the larger london stadiums too.
Damnit KB (King Boomer) & KB (Kevin Bridges) now I'm feeling a strong urge to look up that jungle remix of Sesame Street here on YT, thanks for that :( lol
Did exactly this moid 90's. Got away with it barring one small mistake. I bought the wrong colour (I'm red/green colourblind) replacement vase which got broken. So close. The good old days!
I am 79 and I can remember going to watch baseball matches when I was about 10 at the local park!!! I think there is a league or something nowadays
Yip! Often 👏👏🤣🤣
No worries bro, I'm Scottish and have to get subtitles on occasionally and rewind myself watching American content, same dif 🤘
There are very minor baseball leagues and American football leagues in the UK. Derby County football club (soccer) used to play at the the "Baseball ground" until about 20 years ago, and you can guess where the name came from.
Fucking where???😂😂😂 it's bloody rounders
My work in uk decided to play baseball in the evenings, luckily i already had a bat in my car 😂
There's a stand up Michael McDonald who did the funniest bit about having a house party when parents were gone....HILARIOUS!!😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼
I went to an empty in the 60s. So many things were taken home (stolen) including a whole shelf full of African carvings. I was appalled. No microwaves in the 60s.😂
Don't you take this away from me!!! House parties are one of the coolest things about the USA. Hangover, Weird Science, Old school, etc...
I stopped at about 32!! from 25, until then. I was the older guy. 🤣😂😅 (not the dog thing, and 19+)
A rounders bat is smaller, you'd feel less safe with one. Baseball bats have a better swing. (I don't have a baseball bat)
When I was growing up it was called a free yard 😂
Anecdotally, baseball was (and maybe still is) in Liverpool and my home town of Cardiff - though I imagine it's closer to rounders. Bit of research suggests it was another UK origin sport, since 1755, seems it was not rounders and we won the inaugural 'world cup' in1938 beating the USA 4-1.
Seems post war we lost interest, but my dad played in the 70s against clubs from Liverpool - hence my earlier assertion.
Nice work.
Rounders was mentioned in a book in 1777 , in times of the Tudors , baseball is probably the American version , both great games
b4 i even watch this i know its gonna be good i grew up on 90s house party's and 3am kitchen party's lol
I remember one just up the road from me, the place was packed, 3 meat wagons turned up, gathers everywhere, i was only 14, I was gone like Usain Bolt 😂
There was a baseball team called the Leeds City Royals this was back in the 90's.
See "WEIRD SCIENCE" 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂😂😂
They’ve just changed a Football pitch to a Baseball diamond near where I work and it’s always busy at weekends and for mid week practice.Thats 2 near me!!Finsbury Park and Golders Green.
No baseball rounders was our best effort lol
KEVIN HAS MORE STAND UP!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is a Glasgow Baseball Association but not sure how that's going so far
There are negligible amounts of baseball played in the UK but it is played, there’s a team in my relatively small town - I love baseball (and cricket)
Please do a Billy Connelly reaction soon u haven't done one in years and he never fails to please
I was once with my 5 year younger brother at a house party, long time ago, and i was that old guy, who got baited by a couple of younglings into teaching them how to roll a proper blunt, in the bathroom ofc, because the parents were home.. Long story short, they found us and we got kicked out :D
