Rowan Atkinson is a treasure. Keeping the straight face while pronouncing all the names AND making silly jokes with them is just golden to watch. Very happy you got to see this stand-up.
In anyone elses hand, this would probably have just seemed smutty and juvenile, but Rowan has such gravitas, it was plausible and hilarious! Another fun reaction, Mandy! 😂
I don't know if Rowan has done 'Letters Live' yet but I would absolutely love to hear him read something for them, he would be absolutely perfect for their stuff.
I know Rowan Atkinson is known worldwide for Mr Bean thanks to be ease at which his almost silent character's comedy being easy to sell to non-English speaking countries but to me he will always be Blackadder.
Try reading "The Meaning of Lif" by John Lloyd and Douglas Adams. It takes Town names and produces a new definition which seems to fit the word suitably. For instance, Adlestrop is a village in Gloucestershire. According to Lloyd and Adams, it is also the part of a suitcase specifically designed to get jammed in luggage carousels at airports. And a Budby (Nottinghamshire) is a nipple clearly defined through flimsy or wet clothes. Forsinain (Scotland) is the right of the lord of the manor to molest dwarves on his birthday. I try to imagine just how drunk they were when they wrote it.
When I was a kid at school we had a teacher called Mr Head. Kids did not use teachers first names, and did not even know most of them but occasionally you would catch the teachers talking to each other and they would use first names. Turns out Mr Heads first name was Richard. Can you imagine how quick that went round the school and how the kids would take the piss? Poor bloke. BTW, while Mr Bean is probably Atkinsons most famous character worldwide, I will hand on heart say that his best work is most defo Blackadder for me, and many others.
Rowan first came to the public attention in a topical sketch show called "Not the Nine O'Clock News" in the 1980s. Because it was topical a lot of the sketches have dated and/or have references you might not get, but quite a lot of them are hilarious and timeless.
I remember exactly where I was the first time I saw the sketch. In a shared accommodation house at University, I spat my coffee across the room when he said “Herpes“!!! 😂😂😂😂
As far as chlamydia…. I worked in healthcare IT working with a team to improve testing for medical conditions. Some of these were automated lab tests for things, blood panels for those patients who require ongoing monitoring, annual colon cancer testing, etc. One of these we was chlamydia. The lead doctor was a proponent of testing all patients, as chlamydia often shows few symptoms. By testing and treating those who have it, the patient’s health improves, and does not infect others. At one meeting the doctor said “I want to give everyone chlamydia {testing}”. We all laughed 😂
It's a bit like a Two Ronnie's wordplay sketch with built-in filth. There's no point in trying not to laugh. It'll get you sooner or later. Nudé is a new day...
Your mention of chlamydia reminds me of one time Robin Williams was on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show, and they were discussing coming up with a name for a punk band, Robin proposed "Chlamydia" to which the two then proceed with hilarious banter about the name.
2:47 I love how he goes to say Nibble, because that's the name in the clean version. (Any and all of Rowan Atkinson Live is worth doing, although YT tends to be jumpy about the copyright for some reason so it's not always easy to find).
I have a female friend who intentionally and I stress "intentionally" married a guy whose last name is allcock, now if that isn't love I don't know what is.
Trying to think of a first name that would complement that but the closest I can get is 'Isla' which is a Scottish name for girls that means "Isle of", I suppose Isle of Allcock could have it's moments...
So glad you got rid of that cough; hope you feel well, now. (Not sure when it was, though, as your videos aren't recommended in chronological order.) :D
lee evans did the chlamydia thing a while ago thats why people said it, its funny way he says it like "chlamydia your teas ready, is syphilis out there with you?"
This is why I love your channel. I can't tell you how utterly fed up and miserable I've felt over the last week or so. YET, a 9-minute and 37-second video (and all the other videos of yours) has me smiling and laughing. A nice little pick-me-up that helps dissolve that other feeling. So... uhm... thanks! Truly.
@@MandyCaneLane At this point I think we can all say "Therapist Mandy," cause your channel is a blessing to all of us. A big thanks from me too, Mandy, cause you've been a wonderful friend for all of these years. And also lately I bet you're like "Jason went weird on me." 😂But you still put up with me. You've always put a smile on my face. So a big thanks from me too.
2:25 Geez, the boys are threatened with corporal punishment ! 8:20 Talking about surname pronunciations, a UK sitcom character's name is "Hyacinth Bucket" and she insists people say Bouquet! 💐
This is where stuff like Bart Simpsons calls to Moe have come from lol (all I did was take the "s" from "Barts" for Gramma and your heart went Mandy 😩😩😩🤣🤣🤣)
See Robin Williams being interviewed by Craig Ferguson on his Late Late Show years ago for his use of Clamydia as a name. Look up "Clamydia, your dad's here ! ".
He forgot Ben Dover, Hugh Janus, and Arthur Itis. 😄Good thing Syphilis didn't show up to class. 😂 21 is adulthood in Argentina? I was expecting virtual birds to fly around on the screen at the end, when you flapped your arms and said "Go and be happy and rainbows and puppies."
Rowan Atkinson is an absolute genius, he did a very funny short sketch called 'last will and testament' I strongly suggest that one for you to check out next.
I think what is clever about this is that typically, with a joke, you have the setup, which isn't really funny, but necessary to make the punchline funny. With this little skit, the setup is funny too, or at least a bit humorous, depending on ones sense of humour, of course. Quite a rare thing I think. As far as names go, there was a kid in my primary school named David forth. Now obviously there's nothing remarkable about that. But he had a younger sister named Sally. At that young age I didn't think anything of it, but then later in life, I heard the idiom, to Sally forth, which is like an old English way of saying to leave enthusiastically to do something dangerous. ie a general may spur his troops on shouting "Sally forth men!" Nothing rude about it, but it does tickle me. There was actually a comic strip called Sally Forth in, I think the early 1900s. So I guess someone then thought it was a humorous name too. I did have a music teacher in high school who was really awesome and looked exactly like John Lennon. He was really popular with the music kids, which was lucky for him because his name was Richard Satchel, which if you're me, your mind just goes straight to Dick Sack. He was very cool though. Well, I'm off to try to figure out how to be a rainbow, as per your rather strange suggestion. Not sure where to start with that though. Maybe I'll try the puppy, might be a bit easier 🤷♂️
To get the most out of this, you really need to have been brought up in an old-fashioned UK school system. I grew up in such a system, although a bit removed out here in the colonies, but still with enough to know of which this sketch speaks. Also, my mum was a school teacher from this system. At the begining of the school day the teacher would pronounce the students' names and they were expected to answer of course. Rowan here is playing on the sort of supersillious (spelling) school teachers of a former era.
Oo check out Graham Norton horse names! If not a reaction then just to check it out because it's like this lol Minnie Driver reads out a list of rejected names for race horses because they weren't appropriate for tv lol
There's a politician in the UK called Ed Balls. His wife is Shadow Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper. She didn't take his name. Yvette Balls. Say it loud and say it proud: Yvette Balls. Her name would have been Yvette Balls.
Thanks Mandy 😀 ... Rowan Atkinson has a stammer, and the over-articulation is a technique to overcome problematic consonants ... I could listen to your stories allll day ☺ ... 'shame you couldn't watch ' the moaning of life ' video I linked to you 😔
There's a different version of this from when he was younger, with different, less "obvious" names. By comparison, this version is almost crude. Still funny, though. Masterful delivery. He has a similar routine as The Devil welcoming people to Hell. Also very worth watching.
Thanks for more Rowan Atkinson. He's just a brilliant comic actor. The jokes? Well ... they could write themselves. Atkinson the man comes across as dour and phlegmatic. Not likely to find him sitting on any TV talk show host's couch (unless there's a film out he's contractually obligated to promote!)
AFAIK, a version of "School Register" is the first sketch Rowan Atkinson wrote and performed for the students creating Oxford University's Edinburgh Fringe show. Another comedian at the 'recruitment' said he was brilliant, Robin Williams was a guest on Craig Ferguson's late night talk show several times. In one appearance, they talked about Chlamydia as a name _Robin Williams: Chlamydia, yer da’s here!_ th-cam.com/video/Kzp84OLAd9A/w-d-xo.html (5m:13s) Best Wishes. ☮
When you were talking about certain words being used as names reminded me of this Robin Williams interview on teh Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson 5 minute section th-cam.com/video/Kzp84OLAd9A/w-d-xo.html Full interview th-cam.com/video/yhmnEfzdtmE/w-d-xo.html
TL;DR: This comment is about me pointing out how I won't waste your time by talking about various things. .. I will NOT let you partake in my overthinking and the various studies I have seen where people try to find reasons for words being what they are.. . ~I~ may overthink things, but I won't share it with you. I ALSO won't waste your time talking about how SOME words actually.. originated as actual names but BECAUSE someone chose to use that name in some specific framing (like naming a disease after it) people stopped using the name.. (I also won't mention the opposite where people made up a name for something on more or less reasonable associations, like the word "mongoloid" versus the actual ethnicity of being mongol), where the actual name WON (for once) so it is the medical terminology that had to change.. I won't point out that anaesthesia as a name came to existence because of a woman who literally LOVED how much anaesthesia was such a relief during childbirth that she named her child after it.. I won't mention that Chlamydia really would mean "small cloak" (and that in itself WOULD look/sound like somethng you could've expected as a reasonable meaning of a name, so it still makes sense.. ).. nor compare it to my name which originally meant "honourable with a spear" or "famous with a spear", NOR debate how this suddenly could end up meaning.. "I hear you", NOR how it ended up a noun for a good "shag" (nor will I discuss why the bird "shag" suddenly was an euphemism for some SERIOUSLY active... ).. I also won'd discuss how the most basic words (Mother and father- as used by babies or in baby-talk by adults) ALWAYS use soft consonants (MMmmm, nnnn)... and head-movements, body language or other gestures that are kind of associated with "Here" for mother, and hard abrupt consonants (B, D, P) or gestures that implies distance for father.. I ESPECIALLY won't share that I personally started to think.. "well.. is there something that FEELS more right IF we say that the word for mother and father ARE the words [here] and [there]? IF those would be the words WHICH word would we think means what????"".. And so on.. What I WILL say is that I DO have a difficult time understanding why people DON'T overthink these things the same way as I do. I have REASONS to think that you shouldn't (My psychosocial burnouts, my depressions, etc, are PROBABLY a result of my overthinking), so this is NOT a suggestion at all. .. but.. I also seriously can't understand (for the life of me).. why people DON'T repeatedly find themselves in the rabbit-hole of googling etymology of words and then trying to dig deeper... What I WILL point out is that.. I just like the concept. .and.. it wakes my curiosity., and I think more people should (at least once in their life).. EXPLORE that rabbit-hole BEYOND just laughing at a random meme.
Brilliant as always Mandy - there is a similar video to this, less dirty, but I think is better - the School Master th-cam.com/video/FiWJWLCoH2M/w-d-xo.html, then there is his "Ode to Joy" th-cam.com/video/oWGZdYNpaSo/w-d-xo.html and also his invisible drums sketch th-cam.com/video/wHBcoEWzDcE/w-d-xo.html. Enjoy
The idea of the rollcall of stupid names is clever, but I don't find this version as funny as the original one he did for a comedy show called The Secret Policeman's Ball, where he didn't use any many obvious rude words. It was funnier because it was less blatant. Most of the names he used in the other version were more silly, with just the occasional rude one (which made them stand out more - ooer missus!) The humour was more down to the way Atkinson pronounced and emphasised each name. If you search YT for "Secret Policeman's Ball: Rowan Atkinson 'Headmaster'" you'll find it.
Forgot your medicine today, Mandy? 😀 So after called 'butt' for 20 years, at least he is now a 'fancy butt' I like wordgames in politics, there is a lot of puns anyway in British comedy, and if it is too obvious, comedians really gonna hear it from their colleagues
Doing this deadpan and in front of a live audience must take incredible skill
That is what makes it so effective
I reckon anyone else would’ve broke character, even with a slight smirk. But with Rowan, absolutely nothing. 😂
Rowan Atkinson is a treasure. Keeping the straight face while pronouncing all the names AND making silly jokes with them is just golden to watch. Very happy you got to see this stand-up.

He's a legend
In the UK, it is adult humour. It's screened after the childrens' watershed. All silly, but very funny.
Should be required viewing in all Florida middle school classrooms.

The sound byte might be on TH-cam but there's a bit with a radio host calling travel agencies that he was interested in going to Chlamydia.

spoke 😉

His short sketch 'interviewing' Elton John is well worth a watch too!
Elton's always up for having a laugh at himself, it's great.
Kenny Everett: Is Elton John his real name?
Terry Wogan: Is Elton John whose real name?
Blackadder and the thin blue line are my favourite Rowan Atkinson shows
You need to see the entire rowan Atkinson live Boston uni 1992. The devil sketch and the actor description sketch pure classic.
After many years I finally got a DVD copy of this a few weeks ago.
So glad you got rid of that cough; hope you feel well, now. (Not sure when it was, though, as your videos aren't recommended in chronological order.) :D
I do! Thank you! 🤗 Cough has been gone for weeks now 🙌🏻🥳
This sketch is actually called "And Nobody Called 'Jones'".

Rowan Atkinson is a master of comedy,Mr Bean, Black Adder, Jonny English he'd make grumpy laugh
The skit from his live I like is "Rowan Atkinson Live The Actors Art Full"
Thank you for dropping a video at the perfect time! Need a laugh today 😊

Learning which words have which accents on which letters is one of the most difficult parts of learning some languages.
I understand taking a simple word and stripping it clean from all meaning, dirty words do sound pretty like chlamydia? I do see your point.

It was funnier because it was less blatant. Most of the names he used in the other version were more silly, with just the occasional rude one (which made them stand out more - ooer missus!) The humour was more down to the way Atkinson pronounced and emphasised each name.
If you search YT for "Secret Policeman's Ball: Rowan Atkinson 'Headmaster'" you'll find it.
Good Morning!
Where I grew up there was a plumber called Paul Mycock and a guy who sold carpets called Mike Hunt. Just googled them - they're still in business.
I read the Ford Pinto didn't sell well south of the border as Pinto is slang for a small 'weapon'. I did go to college with an A Hole...

Forgot your medicine today, Mandy? 😀 So after called 'butt' for 20 years, at least he is now a 'fancy butt' I like wordgames in politics, there is a lot of puns anyway in British comedy, and if it is too obvious, comedians really gonna hear it from their colleagues
