“Gimme a Campari and soda and a pint ‘o mince!”
"a pint a mince"... that's class, I need to ask for that in a pub some day.
BTW, for Americans - mine = ground beef in gravy.
Actually I have a mate that is like that and guess name. Wee man. Lol Pisser
Every neighbourhood in Glasgow has a 'big man'. A combination of alpha and hoodlum. So The Big Man is real. Not just a character in this show.
Never saw them
What you on about “neighbourhood”
Scheme 🤣 @@AdamMFCW
🎉🎉🎉fuckin brilliant 😮😂😂😂
Jeah every block makes a difference homie 🤣🤣 Less a that American pish 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ronald Villiers character reaction from this show, is a must reaction
Yeah, he will love his character
The sharks and the jets😂
widdicumandpump hahahaha brilliant
I thought he was one of the best characters effinn hilarious ✌️
Especially on the horse!
Chewin' the Fat was a sketch show where The Big Man came from. So did Jack and Victor, which became Still Game. If you don't like the full show of Still Game, the sketches from Chewin' the fat might be more to your liking, but that can be one just for you. Jack from Still Game and The Big Man are the same actor btw (Ford Kiernan).
Jack and Victor were never part of Chewin the fat, other than the same actors played parts in both series.
@@WeAreThePeople1690your wrong mate, Jack and Victor were made on Chewin the fat and had sketches where they were singing in the pub. They chose to use those characters and make a full show with them
@@WeAreThePeople1690 Wrong again fannybaws 😂
"I want a tussle with your cheesy muscle" LOL
I miss this classic show along with 'Only An Excuse', which you also really need to watch. The Hogmanay specials were amazing 🤣
Im from Glasgow.
Last year my friend and her man stopped to help someone change a tyre on their car at the side of the road in the West End. Another older guy came up to help and went to his very fancy car nearby for a jack, and although he looked familiar no-one said anything. The three of them got the tyre changed and my friend and her man headed off. It was only after theyd left, they realised it was Ford Keirnan who had joined them to help. Completely unassuming👍
Because of this guy, both of my daughters have been calling me Big Man for over 20 years.
Every scheme i Glasgow has a guy like this and there usually pretty decent guys and wont see people without
He's taken that voice from a character called Charlie Endell which was a character from TV show Budgie (played by Ian Cuthbertson). The character also was the origin of some of the ideas for Arthur Daily and Del Boy from Only fools and horses characters.
Ian Cuthbertson issued a single of “Mack the Knife “ spoken as Charlie Endell
Hi Arthur if you’re a lot older you’re likely to remember Charlie Endell, a totally brilliant rendition of the “Big Man”. “See me, I’m back”, 😂. Unforgettable, God Bless Ian Cuthbertson for his classic performance in the role.
With Austin Lapherty's look tae
Chewing the fat and only an excuse "borrowed" quite a few ideas. Only an excuse could get a pass because it was all reaction to football events. Chewing the fat, just ripped off other TV and Films, with a supposed Scottish twist.
@@WeAreThePeople1690 I agree. Nothing original or particularly funny about chewin the fat. The problem with only an excuse was it was the same impersonation with a different tracksuit and wig on. And they got away with that for what must have been 20 years. Talk about a gullible public.
"Guvnor of Barlinnie." King Boomer, Barlinnie is a famous Scottish prison.
These two are in still game
Loved the Dick van Dyk impression. Ye wee bawbag, ye! 😂
Great.Never seen this one and was half way through before realizing it was all the cast og "Still Game"
The thing with still game is that the cultural references are very Scottish, not everyone would get them all. Also, it gets better as it goes on.
The ‘Stauner’ sketch from Chewin the fat is the one to watch. 😊
One of my favourite things about being Scottish is the sense of humour. Always love seeing guys from other places reactions to it. If you haven't watched these guys doing "Taysiders In Space" or "Invisible Boss" sketches you really must check those out
From Scotland, your Scottish accent. Nae bad Big Man!
and there are people just like that in Glasgow lol and these actors are the same actors who are in Still Game
Still Game is one of my favorites along with Mrs. Browns boys
@@mutstumbo Same here lol just finished binge-watching it lol
Comedy is all about opinions , you should never have to apologise for not finding something funny. Those people that criticize you for this obviously have no understanding of comedy , life and opinions !! I live in the UK and I'm really enjoying your Phoenix Nights reaction videos. I never watched it when it was on over here and now I can see what I missed out on , it's absolutely hilarious. Keep up the great work King Boomer.
True true... Phoenix nights is about as funny as getting teeth pulled!
He never said he didn’t “find it funny” 😂😂
Phoenix Nights 😂😂 Funny 😂😂 You should be on the stage ma man 😂😂
It's all about opinions 😂😂.@@WeAreThePeople1690
Remember David Jason said much the same, he was the don back in the day! 👌🏻
Still Game was a spin-off from Chewing the Fat. Ford Kieran, who played the Big Man here, was Jack Jarvis in Still Game. But you could try The Best of Jack and Victor, for these two Still Game characters in their Chewing the Fat days
Glad you liked the show I used to write for Chewin the Fat back in the day. One of my sketches you mentioned at the beginning The Invisible Boss that was my creation. The guy playing the Big Man is Ford Kiernan he also played another good character Ronald Villiers, I wrote one for that character doing a voiceover for a porno, you'll find that funny.
You are a legend
@@yereldda4666 Thank You
Your Scottish accent actually isn't too bad 😅 Chewin the Fat is one of my favorite comedy sketch shows, its great to see folk that aren't Scottish still enjoy a show like this even though some of the smaller jokes or wording might go over your head 😅 definitely watch more Still Game if you enjoy this, s1 is different, try season 3
A hammer with a stanley knife (or box cutter as I think you called them) taped to it is a popular weapon in Glasgow. When guns are banned you need to get creative! 🤣
Just subbed to your channel after watching your reaction to the big man sketches. Regarding still game, you need to keep watching it and see the characters develop, it gets so much better! Best wishes from Glasgow x
I understand it is hard for you to understand what he is saying but the great thing about Scottish comedy and particular Glaswegian comedy is the sound and rhythm of what they say - but this is how we talk .
This is how 'we' talk if you live in a scheme......... Majority of us talk normally........
@@ward1ismnormal? You mean posh
Still game’s main characters are the big man “Ford Kieran” as Jack and the cop “Greg Hemphill” (a Canadian) as Victor with the many others from chewing the fat,
Burnistoun is a great series also. The Burnistoun Butcher and Up the Road sketches are a couple of the best !
Finally, the big man sketches.
Stanley knife on the hammer gets me every time.
Scottish insults are some of the funniest I've heard! "I'll rearrange yer face so bad yer son's gonnae be crying to his mammy on why there's a bliddy pizza ootside the letterbox begging to come in!" (That one got me the most out of all of these)
Also if you're looking for more Scottish comedies to watch, "Still Game" and "Rab C. Nesbitt" are easily the best ones. "Still Game" is more recent and more popular, but I prefer "Rab" myself - some brilliant one-liners and incredible acting to match! Copyright shouldn't be too much of an issue with "Still Game" but I think it has caused a few minor issues, but "Rab" on the other hand won't be a problem at all as every episode is on TH-cam already.
Watch the whole video man 😂
If you’ve seen still game , I’m guessing you have , it’s amazing , this is the guy who plays jack in that. Ford Kieran and Greg Hemphill , very funny guys and plenty of other ppl in chewin the fat also in still game . I use to watch this every week when it was on. Brilliant stuff .
Well done for even attempting Scottish comedy, it's often deliberately colloquial and can be difficult to understand to anyone outside. Chewing the Fat and Still Game are super funny if you can get your head into it. Kevin Bridges is a good gateway to Scottish comedy!
King Boomer, I love your reactions to Scottish comedy. Many of the cast of Still Game cut their teeth on shows like Chewin' the Fat. From this show, look for sketches by Karen Dunbar as the teacher, or as the lady working on the ice cream van (ice cream truck). Some older shows have not aged well.
Enjoy your content, from South Lanarkshire, Scotland, keep up the good work. 🏴🇺🇲
Pretty sure they both moved to Canada like Mel Gibson moved to Australia then moved back to Scotland and became Scotlands top5 TV comics
only the tall one greg hemphill did that, the big man ' ford kiernan' didn't
Ford Kiernan was brilliant as The Big Man. Definitely one of the best Chewin" The Fat characters. If you were Scottish you'd appreciate it even more with the Glasgow slang 😅
🤣🤣🤣.
I’ve had a few Scottish mates and they’ve all referred to me as ‘aye aye Bigman’..
We’re only a tiny country but in 550 miles you get a great mixture of characters.
"Ho! Fannybaws!" You don't see many gentlemen like this anymore in Glasgow...Hehehe!
Good effort on the Scottish accent! 😂🏴❤️
The actor that plays the Big Man is Ford Kiernan. Probably best know for co writing and being a main character in Still Game.
Still Game was a sketch on Chewing the Fat (Chewing the Fat came before Still Game).
There are some classic Chewing the Fat sketches.....such as 'Gies a swatch o yer fanny'....
1:23 Hello from Scotland! Haggis, etc! Great reaction. 😂 I think you'd enjoy almost every sketch in Chewin' The Fat, it's around 90% killer, 10% filler.
The Glesga banter and Rab McGlinchy sketches!
Rab mcglinchy interpreting for the neds is brilliant tae
Big Man should be a Marvel Comic Hero.Supehero power..intimidation with literal punchlines...first time I have seen this ..top stuff boomer
The whole "Chewin' The Fat" series is a Scottish classic. See also the spin-off "Still Game", and anything involving Karen Dunbar. 🙂
Would recommend the kids and ice cream van sketch for sure.
He just said he's not watching Still Game 😂
My tiny brain just clicked-stoneybridge!come to stoneeeeyy bridge😃wow!without me googling is it similar cast?had a vhs of a series.think Boomer would love early rab c nesbitt.a precursor to jim from the royle family.wow where did 30 years of my life go😫
Chewin the Fat was the only TV show that used to get the TV turned up and silence from the punters in my local pub.
Still Game is brilliant but you need to get the type of people it is about, and the scheme life in Scotland in general for it to fully work.
Ford Kiernan is the Scottish Paul Whitehouse .
Only much funnier 😂
Loving your work, King Boomer - I must apologise as I was one of the folks recommending Still Game not knowing you'd already seen it. We all like different things and your reactions are priceless. Sending love to you and The Queen from Birmingham, UK
7:31 This is my first time watching like you Booomer (sorry Jocks). But I strongly suspect that the only man Big Man protects is Big Man!
Bloody hilarious as well, I really need to get around to Chewin.
That was actually a good attempt a wee shite. Props from Scotland!
If you liked The Big Man, check out Ronald Villiers ;)
You'll have to watch Still Game, The Big Man is one of the old guys Jack, its one of, if not the best comedies of the last twenty years.
The 2 sewerage workers sketch is awesome 😂😂😂😂😂 [ big fan of chewing the fat❤❤❤❤
That was such a cool thing to say about how you feel about finding UK shows. I like watching you struggle with the accents. 😆
Love this show & many others you have reacted to. Recently while scrolling TH-cam I stumbled across Harry Hills TV Burp. Bit of a forgotten gem these days, very funny guy reviewing the weeks tv . Much loved & missed by us Brits. It’s well worth checking out a few episodes. Keep up the good work.
About time,I love "The Big Man".
This is top-tier Glaswegian comedy.
Campari n soda and a pint a mince 😂
The big man is played by actor Ford Kiernan.
Soo need to bring this bk , so missed 🏴❤️
Scottish comedy is on another level 😂
As a proud Glaswegian that isnt a "scottish accent" as much as it is a "Glesga" accent, you are trying to do the accept in the wrong form of Scottish dialect is what im getting at King Boomer! What a laugh btw :)
These guys exist
So fekking true. My Grandad.
If you're looking for a Scottish sketch to react to, this is the ultimate! This show would appear on tv on New Years Eve, (Hogmanay) and is called Scotch and Wry. The sketch itself is based on a real TV show called Late Call, which was the last show broadcast at night before the TV would switch off. The actors name is Rikki Fulton, and he was/still is adored by many of us Scots! Hope you enjoy this extremely funny and well known sketch from Scotland.🏴

I’m Scottish, in my 50s, and I remember Scotch & Wry well. A Hogmanay institution back in the day. I don’t think it has really travelled well, though. A bit dated but worth a watch if you’ve never seen it.
10:30 "you're the kinda guy who shares his bed wi' a Pringles tube full of liver" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
9:09 this part couldn’t be any more needed today 😂
Seriously this sounds like a friendly conversation. 😊
A headbut is called a Glesgae Kiss
The actor is Ford Kernan
Don't need to explain yourself man.. still game really picks up once you get to know all the characters. The strong accent is probably one of the reasons u are having trouble enjoying.. the more Scottish stuff u watch the easier it will get
In case you didn't notice all the actors are the same actors from still game.
Big man is the guy who plays Jack in still game
Ronald Villiers (of Widdecombe and Pump) is a great character from this show to react to as well!
Respect brother from Scotland am the big man respect 😂😂😂 subbed ❤🫂🏴
Masters 😂😂😂😂😂
Fannybaws a Scottish word we use daily 😂
"A compari and soda and a pint e mince"😅😅😅
Scotland has been creating great characters for ages - check out Absolutely
I still love still game,same actors that are in this show.
4:29 I can tell you've been practicing!
You’ve seen The Big Man, but you need to see the Wee Guy. Burnistoun Mad Uncles. Absolute belter.
The guy who plays the big man is called ford kiernan
You have to watch " Graham Chapman's Eulogy by John Cleese". Graham played Brian in the life of brian.
Campari and soda an a pint ae mince has me on the deck man
welcome to glasgow humour and the bigmen do exist here
Ye fancy a tussle wi ma cheesy muscle! 🤣
Check out still game and the actor is Ford Keirnan x
His name is Ford kiernan ( the big man )
This is class 😂🔥
Love the big man lol chewing the fats top class❤
These actors evolved into the series still game.
I've never seen Big Man before. Is this from a sketch show? Oh, Chewin' The Fat.
hello from aberdeen scotland
fwiw "the governor of barlinnie" is like the equivalent of the super for a prison. HMP Barlinnie is a real prison in the east end of Glasgow. at the time of these skits, Glasgow was the murder capital of Europe.
Wait till you see the big jock sketch 😂
Seeing americans react to chrwin the fat is amazing
The actor is Jack from still game.
Hammer with stanley knife taped on
The voice is a standard Glaswegian accent, I know a number of guys with a deep raspy voice like his 😂
Even Tony Soprano doesn’t mess with the Big Man
Basically my Grandad.
Yesssssss!
Ronald Villers , Star Trek interview or the Painters or the desperate for the toilet glass door
Chewin the fat was superb back in the day😂 you need to read up on scottish patter 🏴 😂😂. Ford Keirnan was the big man.
The headbutt is also known as a glasweign kiss
