    Haha, absolutely nailed how British people behave. There's something so magical about going into a shop to buy something and you and the person behind the till will exchange no less than four "Thank you's", and sometimes more.
    You give the person the item and say thank you as they take it.
    They say thank you as they take it from you.
    They will say thank you as they take your money and you should probably say thank you here too.
    You say thank you as you take the item.
    They will then thank you for your custom.
    You should then both say thank you as you exit the store.
    This is the correct way of doing things.

    As always, Yahtzee has incredible comic timing. This isn't the first time he made me have a laughing fit just as I started coughing, causing me to start hiccupping, which, combined with the laughter and the coughing, also causes me to swallow air and burp a lot at the same time as I choke on my own snot and mucus desperately struggling to breathe.
    No other near death experience is as entertaining and mentally stimulating as the ones caused by Yahtzee's perfectly placed articulate chain-punchlines.

    "as a British person, this never rings true to me"
    Perhaps it's like how certain chunks of American pop culture from the '80s only make sense if you bear in mind that Reagan was President and the Cold War was still going on.
    Alan Moore (writer of V for Vendetta) and PD James (writer of The Children of Men) wrote those works either during or soon after Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister, while Yahtzee was seven when she was ousted from power.
    Not that I'm saying Yahtzee is wrong about the British people (notwithstanding UKIP,) but historical context is useful when considering plausibility in fiction.

      First, I do not live in the UK. Second, just because I'm not european doesn't mean I can't sympathize with the struggle agaisnt mass immigration that your people are facing. Look pal, let me tell you something: Stop grouping people based on their arbitrary characteristics. I don't have to follow your shitty ass ideology because of the way I was born. So, yes, I'm not british. That doesn't mean I have to suck the Labour's balls.

    Fun fact: There's at least one theory that Robin Hood was a more noble reimagining of a thief that actually lived in Sherwood Forest at one time. Of course, like most thieves, the alleged inspiration wasn't so much "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor" as "robbing from anyone who has more than me and giving to myself".

      he lives in australia so using football to refer to soccer is incorrect as here football refers to aussie rules football (we literally don't have any other name for it that doesn't incorporate the word football unlike the other footballs, american football can be called gridiron (i think), the other football (which was called soccer before being called football) can be called soccer, also our football is the most interesting football)

    I think people find the idea of a facist Britain intriguing due to its historical implications.
    It implies that the Nazis have successfully taken over Europe and god knows what happened next.
    Afterall, Britain was practically the desperate last line of defense against facism and if turned out otherwise, we would be living in a totally different world.
    This plethora of potential major events and intrigue factor keeps us engaged in this alternative history.

      BY THE WAY...I recently went on my Minecraft server, and your efforts seem to still be in place. Such as the invisible horse you used to mock up sitting in a chair.

      Yeah, I wired the thing to reset whenever a player approaches or goes out of range.
      So even if it screws up for whatever reason, it will fix itself when a player comes in its radius.

      No, the EDL see it as their only chance to start attacking muslims for no reason. The EDL are not nice people.
      The reality is that UKIP might have stood a chance if they had decent policies, but as it stood their policies were not good. Farage said a lot of outrageous things (I.E. his comments on AIDs during the televised speeches)

I doubt UKIP will ever have a chance at winning the election. Nigel Farage and his mates just don't know what they're doing. Maybe if their policies were better people would vote for them.

    Dear Yahtzee, I am genuinely interested on your views on the subject of the British show COUNTDOWN. You're opinion on the changes from the old Carol Vorderman days to the new Rachel Riley days would be truly fascinating to me. Signed with loving admiration, your biggest and weirdest fan. Also, you're awesome. P.S. Any chance you could also apply your Shakespearean dry wit (after all, his works are 90% dick jokes) to reviewing other art forms as wells such as classic novels or weird sex robots. Best of love from lonely Scotland

      +phenompy Why do people get so up in arms about Association football being called "soccer"? It's still a correct name for the sport isn't it?

    • @HoodWeegee
      @HoodWeegee 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TheKeyser94(TL:DR at bottom) The thing is though, rugby IS football because football is an all-encompassing term a sport that involves kicking a ball to score such as association, gridiron (American and Canadian), rugby, Gaelic, and Australian rules. "Soccer" was originally a term to differentiate from rugby football before association football became the new name. Idk why it fell out of flavor, but that's a discussion for somewhere else. I tend to call association football "soccer" because in the US, football refers to gridiron or "American" which is way more popular here than in other parts of the world and association is a mouthful I don't want to say all the time. You can most likely tell where a person is from based on what they mean when they say football as there are many versions that are popular in different areas. If someone says soccer, it probably just means that association is not as popular as the version they mainly play where they're from. Either that or they're trolling to get under your skin. There is no reason to get mad about a name that correctly identifies a sport without slandering it. If I wanted to insult association (and I don't because I'm not suicidal), I could call it "kickyball" or something stupid like some association fans call gridiron "handegg", but I won't because football is technically a general term.
      TL;DR Football is by definition a general term that is only specified by popularity in a region and rules of the version. As long as no insults or slanderous names are thrown, why care about it?

    To be fair; all those works were inspired by non-English, totalitarian regimes such as in Repent Harlequin Said the Tick-Tock Man, The Man in the High, and the not particularly subtle allegory Animal Farm, and involve citizens of the English choosing oppression over dying for freedom; not to mention that each, at there root, were written by presumably cynical Englishmen writing what is most familiar to them.

    Let's play fortunetellers.... some extracts of the (probably) upcoming review of Super Mario Maker:
    "YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN LEVEL? Nintendo follow through on their relentless lotion-guzzling milking of the drooling fanboy masses they've accumulated over neigh-on 3 decades. "You love Mario.." they say, "Here, another steaming pile of your favorite obese, Brooklyn-turned-fungus, hero" "We would make levels for it, but since you're paying us full price anyway, why bother?....
    Insert some E3 puppet-jokes, a few references to Nintendos massive go'nads and presto, you've got yourself an episode....
    Btw, I'm looking forward to MarioMaker, but would love to see him have a go at some of the weaker aspects like the invitation to trolls, the "don't even make the levels themselves" jokes that surely must come etc.
