You didn't catch, when the whole family turns British, Stewie spits and talks in a Southern U.S. accent, when normally he is the only one with a British accent
Not sure how the British feel about making jokes about the Queen dying in general , but especially to invoke the memory of Diana and getting chased into a tunnel , I would think that could still be a touchy subject .
Queen deserved that fate far more than Diana ever did 2:25 sorry Jim and Millie no disrespect to your royal family leader but Diana should be queen now 3:21
I am British and old enough to understand / be familiar with all the historical and cultural references, situations, and events that Family Guy is lampooning. It got all of it. It never fails to make me laugh. I love it. Perhaps the younger generation are not so aware of their past. Not surprising as many TH-camrs probably don't know a Britain before 1990.
The British theater scene played on thick accents that they couldn't understand. The scene with the Queen's parade and the pheasant is a throwback to a running gag of Peter fighting a giant chicken, fights that can go on for five minutes.
The theater scene is sort of a mash up of a really formal dry British play (obv the U.S. has live theater but we associate this particular type more with Britain) and Punch and Judy where they're just screaming at each other in indecipherable accents. One's really high brow and the other's really low brow but they're both distinctly British to us
@JesusStJamesDRnah it's more the accents sometimes thicker accents sound like that to us just sounds vaguely like words but gibberish. Most British accents are easily understandable just some you would still be able to make out is not even close for us.
You both "not getting" the Theater scene was too hilarious. That was an average American not understanding Brittish accents. " I dungiet that...hilarious 😂
the music that was playing towards the end when they were being chased by the cops and before Peter fell, is the theme music to the Benny Hill show. He was an English comedian who died in 1992, but his show was very popular here in the US.
A lot of the jokes you may not have gotten were a "British" take on their regular jokes they do all the time. For instance the slap fight with the giant chicken. That fight is usually to the death with all sorts of blood and mayhem. Or maybe the part where the bobbies chase around Peter and Chris at high speed to the sound of "Yackity Sax" music, is a takeoff of the old British show (which was a hit here in the States) called Benny Hill.
The British play was spot on. I usually only understand half of British tv with all the slang and the heavy accents. That's exactly what it sounds like to me.
I watch British TV all the time via Acorn, BBC Select and Britbox. No trouble at all with the accents. Try the Britcom "Allo, Allo". English actors speaking in French accents. Lots of fun.
Millie teases James about his thick accent and neither one got the joke about Americans not understanding the actors in the British play! Best line of the whole thing: "Grimson on the bingham with the gam gom" BAHAHA!! Reminds me of how hard I struggled understanding Shakespeare in high school. And you guys missed the part when the cricket announcer says he's got two short legs. So many jokes and I wonder if the younger generation of Brits ever heard of Benny Hill. Classic reaction I loved watching (:
Love "that one sounded a bit french, that one". And you didn't get offended. Well, maybe the wife did. Love your channel. Long live the king, miss the queen though
The play was a gag on how difficult some British accents are to us Yanks. When I watch most programs filmed in the UK I always turn on closed caption so I don't miss anything said.
The theater scene is mocking the fact that even though we share a common language sometimes British people speak so quickly with so thick an accent using phases and idioms we have no clue about you might as well be speaking gibberish.
The Chicken fight is a semi - recurring theme in family guy (long story) its usually a long brutal & protracted knock down drag out involving the whole town but being this is a british chicken fight they changed it to slap fight LOL
I am so glad that you can laugh at us taking the piss out of your nationality. We mean no harm. We razz on everyone. Many of us in U.S.A. love British culture. By the way, Millie you look absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful child you are going to have. My best to you both. Be well.
The 1 with the theater is because sometimes some English dialects are difficult to understand we from the US can't understand 🤣 sometimes I don't understand James, he sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles 🤔 but y'all are so cute I don't care 🥰👍🤣🤣🤣
The cops running around after them with the silly music playing is a Benny Hill reference. Idk if you go it or not, but if you didn't, that's what it was.
The teeth jokes are more from the past not the present. From WW2 to the British musicians in the 60s and 70s. So many had crooked or missing teeth, it just became the running joke.
A great Churchill quote was an American journalist asking him what he would do about the Indians. His reply, "which Indians'? About as pertinent now as it was then, just looking at TH-cam and what history most Americans focus on and don't focus on.
The musical bit where the coppers are in pursuit of Peter and Chris for lopping off a strand of the Queen's hair and killing her in the process is a nod from any chase scene on The Benny Hill show (FYI: A British comedy we watched here in the states back in 1980s and 90s).
6:17 If you watch a lot of Family Guy you'll find that Peter has an ongoing feud with a person sized chicken which often turns into all out brawls that can last for a good bit of the episode. This was a variation on that.
Haven't watched you guys in a long time but happy to catch up on everything you've posted, and from what I've heard you guys are expecting, you guys seem to be a amazing couple so ik they will be born into a great family
The Queen in the tunnel was a gutsy joke. Do you remember a certain (former) member of royalty dieing in a crash, in a tunnel, while being chased? It was a major news story.
1. The theater scene was joking about how, though thought of as very cultured by Americans, we can't understand what Brits are saying half the time. 2. The pheasant and the "...bugger!" scene were just "Britishified" versions of running gags. They were funny because you were supposed to recognize the joke from previous episodes, except it was the "British" version. Extra humor comes from the fact that, in the original version of the joke, the bird is a random giant rooster and the show spends a good ten minutes following their increasingly involved fight as they mercilessly beat each other senseless. The British version has Peter slap-fight a pheasant for a few seconds. "Englishmen are sissies," is the joke. 3. The tunnel crash scene was an allusion to Princess Diana's death which had a huge impact even in the US. Family Guy humor is often based on "Oh my! I can't believe they referenced that [controversial/revered/sensitive] topic! How witty!" It's lazy, easy, tasteless comedy and one of the reasons I stopped watching. 4. The teeth thing is a hold-over from earlier times. Over the last few decades, the Brits' dental hygiene has basically caught up to American standards. However, we Americans invented modern dentistry and, up till a few decades back, the difference was pretty noticeable. Of course, we still mock the Dutch for stereotypes going back to colonial times most Americans don't even know the source of, so the teeth joke probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
The play is more like Americans listening to thick Scottish accents. In some places in Scotland, a guy would talk to me and I'd have a 3 second lag for my brain to turn it into language.
The thing with the chicken is a running gag which is usually long and violent, but this time rather polite at the end, and apparently an English chicken.
Them running from the "coppers".... you two are too young to remember the Benny Hill show... that Keystone Cops type of chase scene was common on the show. Used to watch it with my grandma late at night... Benny was so funny!
I remember trying to watch British sitcoms back in the 80s and not understanding what the heck they were saying and why the audience was laughing. Brings back memories.
Make no mistake, Americans love the British! We may bust balls about lots of things, but all of us, American and UK, have a common ancestry. My great grandma had British blood, so that's been passed on to me. I'm a long-time Anglophile!! I'm dying to see London for myself!! One of my favorite TV shows is DOCTOR WHO! I've seen all the surviving episodes of the classic series that started in 1963, and the modern series is FANTASTIC!! Millie, you are GLOWING, you look so beautiful! You're both going to be great parents!! Lots of love from Pennsylvania, one of the original 13 colonies!! 🤟🫶🥰
From 7:15 onwars is a reference to Lady D death, they were following her into a tunnel. My heart hearts. And after that is a classical Benny Hill chase reference.
Stewie with blonde hair near the end is the opposite as he is in the "normal" family, he is a Brit in an American Family. So them being a Brit Family means he is an American Southerner.
Some movies with British accents, TV shows too, I do turn on the subtitles. Like all creatures great and small, those Yorkshire people... Forget about it.
@@TheBeesleys99 I still don't understand what those UK actors posing as German soldiers in allied camps said in the Band of Brothers. They're accents were so thick.
6:196:31 Oh, Come On! You mean you guys haven't seen Peter fighting Ernie The Giant Chicken?! It's one of the best running gags/cutaways in Family Guy!
I once watched a British play and I couldn't understand most of the things they were saying so I think the joke was how the language is incomprehensible to Americans.
Chicken fight, thats a running gag on the show, US version they fight everywhere causing damage everywhere they fight. Griffins chasing the queen , thats a Princess Diana homage to how she died (paparazzi chasing her in France)
The pheasant is a call back to a running joke on the show involving a chicken he fights with. The joke is only in the comparison. And the chase to music with the Bobbies after them is the song Yakkety Sax used by Benny Hill for similar chases on the Benny Hill Show.
The police chasing them with the catchy music in the background is from the old Benny Hill shows from the 70’s and 80’s … where Benny would chase and be chased by scantily clad ladies and small old guys to that music . Your welcome 👍🏴

Exactly! Stewie always has british accent, except that scene when Stewie has a hilljack southern tobacco spittn sound 😂😂😂
It also reverses his intelligence

I think Stewie normally has a mid-Atlantic accent.

A few of those are running gags. Like Peter fighting the chicken and him hitting his knee.
I think the Tunnel death was a Princess Diana reference.
Yep
Surwas
I agree, that the first thing I thought of when they went in the tunnel.
You both "not getting" the Theater scene was too hilarious. That was an average American not understanding Brittish accents. " I dungiet that...hilarious 😂

In the first episode, they have a joke about a PEZ Dispenser and John F. Kennedy that even Seth has regret over.

The British version of Stewie being an American redneck hick cracks me up every time. it just never gets old.
am a christian texan and it also cracked me up there actually. 😂
The gag around 2:40 is that outside the UK, we don't understand your slang and fast talking.
In the normal Family Guy episodes, Peter has a giant chicken as his nemesis. So it was a fowl he fought with in England. Lol
The Chicken fight is a semi - recurring theme in family guy (long story) its usually a long brutal & protracted knock down drag out involving the whole town but being this is a british chicken fight they changed it to slap fight LOL
And it's a pheasant instead of a chicken.

Sounds more like a myth, or Americans could afford more plastic surgery.
As an American that loved princess Diana, that joke was uncalled for by family guy.
The tunnel car crash is a Princess Diana reference, who died in a tunnel crash, being chase by paparazzi on a motorcycle
