He said about Japan, “we got the Yanks to do it for us”
Boomer is deaf and dumb
It's a friendly slang name for Americans, not used that much now a days.
@@mosthaunted2 It's not always a friendly term.
@@bobbybigboyyesIt’s friendlier than “those damned colonials”…
Its also not true we fought japan for longer than america did and tithe Americans island hopping campaign wouldn't have been possible with out the royal navy as the us navy couldn't overcome the kamikazes
The fact we were fighting America, France and Spain all at the same time is nuts for a crazy little island 😂
Crazy island is right.
Also the Dutch
yeah it's crazy that such a tiny little island conquered so much of the world
Rule Britannia!!
@@johnnyorbital4748 Naval power was king.
@@nicholasmudrinic4464 now there's big bombs, so we're a bit quieter 😂
8:33 The British in 1938 discovery of nuclear fission in uranium raised the possibility that an extremely powerful atomic bomb could be created.
In July 1940, Britain had offered to give the United States access to its scientific research. American scientists discovered that the American project was smaller than the British, and not as far advanced.
Tube Alloys was the research and development programme authorized by the United Kingdom, with participation from Canada, to develop nuclear weapons during the Second World War. Starting before the Manhattan Project in the United States To make this short. The US and UK developed the Manhattan Project together with the British technology. The British didn't have the resources to make a bomb BUT the US did. Therefore Al's right about that, the Yanks did it for us.
Oh give it a rest.
@@philiposbourne3038He's not lying though
@@philiposbourne3038 cant accept facts?
After which the US said this is an American weapon for America and didn't then share the final methods of its creation with the British who had kick-started the project. It took the British a further 7 years to catch up and become a nuclear power themselves. That's gratitude for you.
The only thing I've got to say is one of my friends online is American and we just had a chat about 2nd world war and he said Americans won it also " your welcome because if we didn't intervene you would have lost" and I was like " the only reason america came in to the war was because of what happened at Pearl Harbour" but he disagreed with me. And then I thought fuck it I'm not going in depth with this conversation it's history yes but I'm not fighting with him who's wrong and who's right I've got my own life to live and shit lol
You are one of the only American reactors to actually understand British humour...keep it up !
He also has a bit about Americans taking credit for WW11, he says;
"If you weren't there from the start, u weren't there at all." 😂😂
World War Eleven? Shit, I think I missed a few.
Fuck me I’ve not been paying attention if i’ve missed 9 global wars😮
*WWII. The Americans did arrive quite late, but take the credit.
I've met Al Murray a couple of years ago when I was working in a restaurant he came into. Really nice and genuinely cool guy. Very polite that's what I remembered of him too.
"Japan - We got the Yanks to do it for us"
Sorry bob, didn't see you'd already posted this, I deleted mine
Great that you take the humour as it's intended. It's comedy, and you know that. Saves you getting angry 😁
Japan “got the yanks to do it for us”
Beat me too it! Lol
Well there was no point ruling the planet and not taking advantage of it! 😉
The small village next to my town called Rostrevor in Northern Ireland is where the man Robert Ross was born. He was the man that burned the whitehouse down. Ironically it was an irishman that designed the Whitehouse and an Irishman that burned it down albeit he was a British officer. Coincidently Rostrevor isn't named after him but rather Ros which means woodland in irish so perhaps he was named after the village itself.
Never knew that about Ross and Ros. Thanks.
You are the first American ive seen to acknowledge that all of Britain's navy and most British forces wasn't even in America fighting, they were all in Gibraltar south of Spain.
1812 the British were also stopping slavery at the same time
Yes,they put in a lot of effort in it. When slave ships saw the Union flag at a distance it would put fear in them.
That was in 1833, not 1812!
@@simonebye8789 1806 to 1866, it's only because the Union defeated the Confederacy that the last slave markets in the Americas were closed down that the trans Atlantic slave trade ended, but we ended it in Europe and Brazil
Well, we bought off the owners in the British Empire at unprecedented cost via government borrowing that was only paid off in 2015. Our cotton industry (and many other industries) traded in slave produced (and indentured labour produced) goods for long after abolition. It's also worth remembering that the final impetus for both abolition of the trade, and of slavery itself were provided not by domestic campaigns, although they were important, but by slave revolts.
Can't believe Yanks are taking the credit away from Britain for abolishing slavery, when they were the main offenders. We didn't have slaves in the UK, but the USA did. You arrived very late for WWII too.
Al Murray D-Day to Berlin was the Show he did , He did a Parachute jump with a man in his 80’s who jumped on D-Day and when he asked was he scared about jumping now he said No the Last time he jumped he had Germans Shooting at him 🤣🤣🤣
He did a sitcom as the pub landlord called Time Gentlemen Please, I think it would be to your taste.
You are the first American to know/admit that battle on TH-cam that I know of.
10 Points, just for not shouting Murica! Then shooting 2 Revolvers randomly in the air!
"We got the Yanks to do it for us".
We kinda did. Britain (with some help from Canada and others), had the "Tube Alloys Project", this is where we did all the research into the atomic bomb. we gave that to 'the yanks', and they called it the Manhattan Project, and used it on Japan. Twice.
Were plans for RAF to drop them, if they needed to.
Al Murray has a TV show based around this character. It's called "Time gentlemen please" pretty funny if I remember.
I taught US and European history, retired. Love comedians who cover history. Eddie Izzard does it best in "Dress to Kill"... HILARIOUS!!👍❤👍❤👍
Do you have a flag ? 😆. Dress to kill . I love the other one he did about Richard the lion heart. ( as a French soccer team manager)
Nicola Sturgeon looks like Eddie Izzard in drag! 🤣😆
@@bobbybigboyyesNicola Sturgeon looks like a woman. Eddie Izzard looks like a fruit loop
Hi King B. Congrats to you and Queen B. Hi agree that history is fascinating. I am from N Ireland and my wife from England. We spent a summer in the south of USA and tried to learn as much as we could about the civil war etc. including museums in Atlanta and across the south. we did not know as much as you did, but came away with a view that the war, in terms of race, was still having a significant influence on the country today. I was also shocked to learn how much the US did to fund the Uk during the start of WW2. No small achievement and gets me thinking about how much help we should give to Ukraine at the moment. Keep it up you muppet.
Lol. Al Murray is pure class! The amount of countries we Brits have had wars with is unbelievable.
'' we got the yanks to do it for us'' Japan
Al Murray does a podcast with James Holland on world war 2 called “We have ways of making you talk” it is a great podcast and covers all aspects of the war
One of Murray's ancestors was William Makepeace Thackeray who wrote a famous book called "Vanity Fair".
Al Murray's Road to Berlin is the show u r going on about. 10 part series, 30 mins long per episode. Great series
He is a superb historian. I've seen him live four times, and his knowledge and memory is astounding.
4:58 I appreciate the little details that you gave back to us there. It's always interesting stuff.
Boomer can only give 'little' details because they come from his tiny little Muppet brain.
Murray knows his history because his family helped create it
This could well have been the reaction that first brought me to your channel! Just as good the second time round KB 👍🏻🤗
This is why we are the best country in the world
I'd like to think us Brits are like the Hobbits. You can learn all there is to know about us in a few months, yet even after 100 years, we can still surprise you. 😂
Yeah we had a little on we were also trying to stop slavery by the blockade of Africa with 2 ship's. So forces were a bit thin on the ground to send to the US in 1812/14. Sorry about that but we had to prioritise 😜
Near where we live we walk regular to a village called willoughby where john smith lived! First leader of america in jamestown, he married pocahontas
Al Murray...Secretary
Would be a great one to react too.
Plus Jimmy Carr 20 most offensive jokes
His intellect and memory are exceptional. I've seen him live four times, and I don't know how he keeps so much information so ready.
He studied Modern History at Oxford University
I meant how he remembers names and occupations and little details of people in the front rows.
I can tell you have a real interest in history, as do I. I enjoy your reactions vids, cheers from Ireland.
The British defeated the Japanese in Burmah. However the Japanese were inspired to attack Pearl Harbor by the British attack on the Italian Fleet at Taranto. Ian D.
He also does a Podcast and livestream with the British Author/Historian James Holland. Al has also written a book about senior Commander's from Britain and America in the Second World War.
Al Murray knows a lot about history & has presented documentaries about it. He's very middle class in real life, unlike the character he usually plays as a comedian.
A superbly inane comment. Well known fact followed by another well known fact that any subhuman could manage to understand, Al Murray would be livid about this. I don't blame him.
@@samuelgarrod8327 Most people don't know. Many only know him as a comedian & haven't seen him out of his Pub Landlord character. His history documentaries don't have high viewing figures.
@@davidz3879 I heard he can control a tank. He's great, incredibly intelligent and clever. A Comedy hero of mine. Sorry for being a gobby twat fella. 👊
@@samuelgarrod8327he is very clued up on tanks and the history of them.
I'm from a sub culture, i.e working class skint, bin dipper of 30 odd years. Would i be worthy enough to comment, z face ? On ya go.
5:23 Retreating from the White House? Pretty sure we won that 😂
I appreciate the way you do reactions, too many have the video volume down low and their volume up high and talk over the video.
That's why I like the way you pause the video to have your say. The video isn't competing with you to be heard.
Japan - "we got the Yanks (americans) to do it for us"
his knowledge is second to none. all true facts
I didn't know that historical input! Thank you
Al Murray is doing a new stand up tour next year round the UK King Boomer, maybe that's your chance to see him live with a cheeky trip across the pond 😅😂
He did a run of shows where he performed his older sets. Hence the background showing the year 1998 and an old tour poster from that year. Thats how good his memory is
Japan - " we got the Yanks to do it for us" - ( Well they / you have been working for us per Al)
When American's say to Britain's "If it wasn't for us you'd be speaking German now"
Brits say "Because of us you are speaking English now"
:D
Do a full show, 'Giving it both barrels'-'The only way is epic'-etc......... There is also a sitcom!
He is so knowledgeable for a comedian love him
Probably because he studied history - at Cambridge, I think.
@scientiautverum yes he did.
"Re-record, not fade away" - Scotch VHS 80s advert
Hi KB, 08:20 'Japan, we got the Yanks to do that one for us'
The Kapan part he said we got the yanks to do it for us
His doing a nation wide tour in 2024,come over and pick a place to see him.
Hi King boomer here's another one of your boomerites from the uk hope queen boomer is OK and keep up with your great vids
I have heard somewhere that if you go up into the attic in the Whitehouse there are still rafters that have scorch marks on them. Nothing to be proud of as we are all friends & allies now but WOW...there's history you can touch.
I also remember you doing this one before
I'll be going seeing him next year, never seen him live so should be good. Not sat at the front luckily.
He is really a pretty clever bloke ,specialises in ww2 , he even has a moustache at the mo !
About Japan. He said the Yanks took care of that for us. We refer to Americans as Yanks.
The joys of having an 'istory graduate as a drinking mate for the pub quiz.
He said Japan we got the Yanks (Americans) to do it for us. So that's a win.
The dutch won a couple of wars against the brits ……. Admiral de Ruyter! And Dutch King William the Conqueror just walked into aenglsnd and took over
For Japan he said "We got the Yanks to do it for us."
I'm suprised you haven't watched his tv show "Time Gentelmen Please".
Someone else has probably told you, he’s WW2 documentary is The Road To Berlin and is a ten part series of about twenty minute videos all available on TH-cam.
None of them are suspect. he is speaking actual history. he is actually very intelligent and has a degree in history from Cambridge
Was waiting for this one
🎼In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
Get yer paint brushes out lads - the white house is black
With the beard, Al Murray looks a bit like an English Civil War General.
1775-1783 was a sideshow too.
Especially since you've written out (revised) the French troops who fought with you, and Rochambeau who led them out of your history...
Why do you think the American revolutionary war ended in the treaty of Paris, in Paris, France?
When he says the Brits got the 'Yanks' to sort out Japan for them reminded me of the saying about the American GI build up prior to D-day in the UK when it was said that Yanks were Overpaid, Oversexed and Over Here. Others say that the Yanks were Overfed, Oversexed and Over Here. I remember in the 60's & 70's prior to a visit by a relative to the ol' sod that was Ireland, every room in the house got a fresh lick of paint for the 'return of the Yank'.
Your reaction adds to the fun. Best Wishes. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Im from Plymouth and alot of people don't know that the survivors of the Titanic were brought to Plymouth
These days - to the British - if you say '1812' we think of an overture by Tchaikovsky.
Have you thought about reacting to time gentlemen please the sitcom Al Murray did?
Uganda never was German. Tanzania and Namibia were German colonies till 1919.
True but it made possible a funny response.
"Japan? We got the yanks to do it for us." 😂
Al murray studied history at Oxford University
Al is touring next year
He said " We got the yanks to do it for us "
al murry is an actual pub landlord it's not just a character
Watch the flaming tar barrels of Ottery St Mary. It makes cheese rolling look like a child’s pastime!
Are you OK you seem really tired and not all there wish I could send you hugs x
Jeez, the boomer knows his stuff too! I've learnt something more today. Good.
Al Murray did a series called "AL MURRAY: WHY DO THE BRITS WIN EVERY WAR?" where he looked at various conflicts with a member from that Nation to look at Tactics, equipment and do Tasks. The synopsis for the episode about the Ameican War of Independence is "In this episode Al faces up to one of the world’s superpowers and the richest nation on Earth to discover how the former British colony of America somehow slipped through its fingers. Joining him to fight for his nation’s honour is comedian Reginald D. Hunter. Together, they explore how the frontiersmen of America used guerrilla tactics to outwit the British redcoats, how the most effective spy for the American army was a slave and turn their hands to firing the rockets that set fire to the White House."
Hey man, been watching your channel for a while now, love your content. Also cool fact about the 3 day whitehouse. Subbed (UK based)
🇬🇧 I love that you 🇺🇸 love this without being butt hurt …and add fantastic info from your perspective too 🫡 …. He’s incorrect about Burkina Faso being ex-Germany, it was French but hey who’s counting lol😊
First time watching , I’ll be back 🎉
guinness is nothing but penguin-juice
Have you tried...time, gentlemen, please. Its his tv series. Ohhh and a heads up, he is touring again next year in the U.K
I ❤ your goatee general
Be thankful it's your civil war and not ours . This one's well worth another watch . Best wishes to you and the Queen .
Al’s degree from Oxford was in Modern History, so, intellectually he’s running a strong balance!
if you don't catch it, just pop the subtitles on for a few seconds, I didn't catch it either, both times, subtitles worked
graduated Oxford with a degree in history. Smart man
Please watch al Murray why does everyone hate the British - it’s goated - there’s a fantastic German comic on there as a guest, best joke I’ve ever heard “why did my grandfather cross the road? To occupy France” and I think that sums it up
I think I heard somewhere that Al Murray was a qualified Paratrooper 10 Para probably from his younger days
Possibly the 1980s
8:25 (re Japan) We got the Yanks to do it for us
@kingboomer - im a Brit and it’s very interesting to know about you being from Brookville! Maybe that’s why you look like an army general haha. Furthermore, what he said about Japan. He said “got the yanks to do it for us” - the word “yank” is a British word for Americans.
And that is why, in Boomers case, it also rhymes with wank! And Boomer looks like the Muppet he is..... Gonzo!
Al Murray is a well educated comedian having studied History at Oxford University. I've seen him live, he is hilarious😀. However, I believe he makes a few errors here.
1) Uganda was not an ex-German colony that we were given in 1919. Uganda was already an established British colony at that time. He's likely thinking of what is now Tanzania.
2) It is not called the White House due to the paint after we burned it down, that's an urban myth. Not officially called the White House till Teddy Roosevelts time (1901).
3) Not accurate to say that the US lost the War of 1812. The Treaty of Ghent can be boiled down to "Well that was stupid. Let's pretend this never happened and just call it a draw..."
4) Burkina Faso was not an ex-German colony, it was French (used to be called Haute-Volta). Perhaps he is thinking of the German colony of Togoland, part of which became British Togoland.
Err we were there and the Australian and others oddly not just the USA
