Absolutely! Same here. Growing up NOT in Britain there's a ton of references i would not get. For instance, the thing with bob - i didn't know and would have just accepted it for part of the game.
Bloody hell your career choices make so much sense now. I'd have joined the Navy too to get away from that even if it meant the risk of the Russians lobbing a nuclear torpedo my way.
Speaking of smoking in the 70s, I was really sick one time and my grandparents lived in Vancouver Washington and I stayed there while my parents were out. Now my grandparents were German and smoked, I remember laying on the plastic covered couch covered in a smoke smelled blanket smoke hazed room with smoke stained ceiling watching a western on a black and white TV.... I was so miserable...
I can feel every word of this in my crawling skin. I was lucky that when I was a kid in the '70s and '80s, nobody in my _immediate_ family smoked, but I can still remember a family reunion I got dragged to where I discovered that virtually everyone else in the extended family did. The headache I came away from that occasion with still faintly reverberates in my skull as I think back on it now.
@ZGryphon you know cigarettes must of been really cheap in the 70s, my grandfather could almost smoke a carton a day. I could remember seeing his ash was about 3 inches before it broke off. Him sleeping in the easy chair with a cigarette in his fingers and a whiskey bottle in his lap.... I am part German and I can't smoke or drink hard alcohol but I can pound down the beer... Ahh the 70s, thanks Jingles for the flashlight...
@@winterbabydoo9752 Yeah, I don't know how it goes in other places, but here in the US the cost has gone up sharply as demand has dropped and regulation has tightened, which in my memory really started to get traction in the late 1980s. I can remember restaurants here still having smoking sections into my young adulthood.
I like how the subtitles translate the English colloquialisms "That middle aisle is a right state" > "That middle aisle is a real mess". The town hall motto is a classic too - 'Fortis in Brachio, Crassus in Capite', which translated to part of that famous Yorkshire saying "Strong in the Arm (and) Thick in the Head".
27:40 I hate to correct you, but we did grill toast not so long ago on a festival. A whole loaf even. But as a festival guide pointed out to us, we perhaps should have removed the plastic packaging first....
He's crap as usual... that's why we're all here. What's that, sir? A double shift in the salt mines, starting right now? Thank you kindly, I'll hop right to it!
to be fair to the chap, he's having a trip down childhood nostalgia lane. Game is probably meant to be a different experience for those who LIVED through that era
11:34 "Mums got me back on the mercury again!" My grandfather passed away a few months ago. While we were going through his house and cleaning, we found a tincture bottle: "Mercurochrome" - an antiseptic, Merobromin, was marketed as Mercurochrome, and this particular version of the medicine contained mercury. It has not been legally sold in the US since 1998. It was also banned in Brazil, Germany, and France - but is still sold in most other countries.
It's made by people from Barnsley, so Barnsworth is Barnsley. If you look at the town as the bus drives in, you'll see Barnsley Town Hall on it. The bins, the bus stops, they're all the same. Brilliant game
I'd say Billy Connolly the most internationally famous role was Il Duce from The Boondock Saints since it's a cult classic movie. He also plays a minor role (sergant) in The Last Samurai but he has there only few minutes of screen time.
I think he counts his role in TLS as a failure since he didn't get his keks off, but I wouldn't want to speak for him. He was also in Mrs Brown with Judi Dench, where he did, so that one was a win.
Jungles in this game you need to hit absolutely everything every time (even things you might think that you think are there for nothing), it's really funny some interactions
Man, you really were ahead of time in the north of England. Solitaire, on a computer? In colour! Well, you could get the Apple II with a really, really expensive gfx card in 1977 and Atari released their 800 in 1979. Maybe there were some colour workstations available, so I guess it would be possible. However, Solitaire were not released on a computer until 1990 with Windows 3.0. Anway, being slightly older than Jin gles we saw a fair share of weird British TV programmes back in the 70s.
Wow, there's some real great little details - the bottles of cheap cider called White Shite, the name on the CCTV monitor - Telluwot... The other graffiti stating that 'Roger is a nonce'...
1:33 That's a Robin Reliant! I have fond memories of that car, not necessarily good, but fond. I still remember "The Great Egg Race" where they had to turn it into a boat.....
Reliant Robin lol, my uncle had one, used to sit the whole family, I remember Me Mum, Sister and I nearly always threw up in the garden when we got back from a drive.
12:13 "Oh my, how the world has changed. I will say, this game is doing a really good job of making me feel old. I mean, 1970 the year I was born. Is closer to the first world war than today is to 1970." I was born in the early Seventies and I know that feeling.
I love this game! But honnestly, one of the only reasons I actually understand the humor of this game is because I had a DVD box set of Monty Python's Flying Circus when I was a kid and watched it Way to much!
I was born in 1974. I do remember having 1/3 pint of milk at school. The milkman going round on an electric milk float delivering your daily pint on your doorstep. The binmen would pick up the rubbish from the back of the house. I also remember returning my father's bottles of beer to collect the deposit and buy penny sweets or walkers crisps for 12p a packet. The TV was a piece of furniture and you would have to press a knob to change between 3 channels. How things have changed.
I thought the voice of the gardener sounded familiar and when I looked it up, my suspicions were confirmed. They were able to get Matt Berry to do voices in this game.
I'm seeing a few anachronisms here - recycling bins and large plastic wheelie bins in the 70s? National Lottery? That started in the 90s! It looks good though. I can suspend my disbelief.
There was the Lady Diana plate labelled 1997 too. But yeah, the game is more of a Weird Trip than anything you want or need to stand up to thorough inspection. The Vibes are more important.
Speaking of British coins, that is how the old bicycles with the huge large wheel and the tiny one got its name from - the Penny Farthing. The small penny and the large farthing representing the wheels.
I absolutely agree with the tittle. Thank Goodness you're here, Mighty One! Thank you a lot for all those years of fun and for all those still to go! Best of wises!
British humor, so dry in delivery and oh so clever. Having to think about what was said to laugh is far better than having to or being shocked to laugh. It works all the right muscles.
You were born in 1970? I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in 1974. The stock footage does remind me of an England that no longer exists. My first response to life in England in the 70's was that it reminded me of WWII movies - the buildings, interiors, etc., seemed so "quaint" and "old-fashioned" to an American because everything was so "old." And about switching to the metric system; I recall imperial measurements still being used when I was there.
1:15 Think the "approval" from Akizuki is more an investigation on why the box was so small ... Meow, meeeeow meoow *Translates to* Minion why did you get such a small package! I need a proper sitting box.
This game is something else. We're going to need some more of this Jingles. What was that person doing to that cabbage @34:36 ? Well, I could see what they were doing ... but the motivation escapes me.
I saw that too but thought it was for the benefit of a British audience. It would be just like a sketchy driving school to use a left hand drive car to teach people to drive on the left. The first time I drove on the left was in Sydney rush hour traffic. I'm surprised I'm still alive.
Mind, foreign cars with left-hand drive have always have been a thing in Britain. We are talking a tiny percentage, often driven by foreign residents who find learning right-side too much trouble, but they exist. As long as you drive on the correct side of the road, the law doesn't care where the steering wheel is.
While I’m very glad you’re playing this wonderful game, you’re missing so many puzzles! there are so many little hidden Easter, eggs, conversations, and more. Every person in the game can be slapped twice and has unique dialogue for each, and there are plenty of funny jokes for all of this.
I'm definitely open to watching this playthrough. I like hearing about growing up in Northern England in the 70's. I was born in 1971 and grew up in the US, so it's interesting to hear about it.
As a child of the 80s this is closer to my child hood than the world today and takes me back to. As for games better on controller than mouse and keyboard I’d have to say snow runner.
Sunday video with a bonus unboxing? Sign me up, Uncle Jingles. I preordered a controller ostensibly designed for the Steam Deck. Hopefully it's good, this is a company I've seen before and they appear to make some good stuff.
Regarding "Thatcher Thatcher the milk snatcher", what people conveniently forget is that no-one (or very few people) was drinking the free milk. So the government was in the position of paying for vast quantities of milk which then just got chucked out. So Thatcher decided to stop wasting the money. Of course, as soon as she did this, it was suddenly really important, and all the people whose kids hadn't been drinking said free milk were up in arms about losing their entitlement (that they hadn't been using) and it was the worst thing ever.
Already lost it at the telly called "TELUWOT" lol 17:41 lmao, these jokes man. I mean look at that baby mouse in a stroller at 31:05 or the health and safety rating on the wall at 32:46 xDDDDD
So that was an experience. As an American the vast majority of references went right over my head, but Jingles was laughing and having a great time so it was still funny.
Cool, by the way, the farthing went in 61 (year I was born), 10 bob note went in 69, the actual change was 71. The happeny, the penny and the trepence went then. The 6 pence (2.5 n.p.), The bob, the two bob and the half crown (12.5 n.p.) carried on.
I'm 37 so I never saw the 70s, but I appreciate im probably above the median age for watching Jingles videos. But the art on this game has a load of weird stuff as if the artist is 20 years old and typed "what did yorkshire look like in the olden days" into google and then just added anything before 1999! 1970s shops didn't have lottery, streets still had red phone boxes, phones mostly still had rotary dials. It looks more like now than 1970s, apart from no one has a mobile!
Thatcher the milk snatcher? More like the heroine who saved us from being forced to drink lukewarm rancid milk... school milk is one of my top three worst food memories from my early days.
Controller tip: Brothers - A tale of two sons. But I have to warn you, if your male brain works like mine it's gonna be a right challange. You need to controll both brothers at the same time with the two sticks on your controller. Still I think you would appriciate it.
This is basically a side make of "Bart Simpsons vs. The Space Mutants", sequential quest chains... Edit; bonus "Well Actually, Jingles..... That was a Sports Walkman, cos it was all yellow"
This is amazing, the British humour which will go over peoples head is brilliant, little things like fish ends is next to bell ends. I would probably only get so far before pissing myself laughing if I downloaded this. More of this if you can even if its the odd treat to roll out
I just KNEW you had to play this game after I played it not too long ago! It’s the greatest British comedy game, bar none! Also, that League of Gentlemen comparison is spot on, too
27:35 no Jingles, that’s grilling. Barbecue involves lower temperatures and longer cook times, typically a smoker. I swear Brits get confused with cooking so easily.
Substitute the colliery with a paper mill, and this could near have been my own hometown of Newcastle (now Miramichi) in New Brunswick, Canada back in the 70s.
Jingles, about the USB dongle for your controller. I could be wrong about this, but afaik those aren't really necessary anymore, as modern PCs almost always have built in Blutooth as standard. The dongle is more for older PCs, or for pairing multiple controllers.
I remember being on holiday at Flamborough circa 1976. Chips were 5p, Yorkshire fishcakes were 7p and a fish was 15p. You could feed a family of four, for less than a pound. The last time I got fish and chips plus mushy peas and curry sauce for me and my two children, I barely got any change out of a £20 note. 😂😢😂
My mum's family was from Devon & south Wales so I probably get more of the references than the average American. Even so, I didn't get some of them. More of this game please.
Don't know what this game is about either, but it is lovely to hear that sweet Geordie (?) melody. Been to the North of England (and later on up to Scotland) a few times, and I found that singing tone of voice so funny. For all I know they could have been ranting at me - having been taught received pronunciation at school I just didn't comprehend three quarters of what they were saying - but it all sounded so sweet and friendly.
Oh yes I was hoping you would play this! I am absolutely here for a full play through and further anecdotes about how crap the UK was in the 70s
Absolutely! Same here. Growing up NOT in Britain there's a ton of references i would not get. For instance, the thing with bob - i didn't know and would have just accepted it for part of the game.
"What the shuddering fuck?"
- William Shakespeare.
"I think it's too surreal."
- Terry Gilliam.
24:00 - He's selling SMOKED - KIPPERS, Jingles. Come on. Even you should have caught that pun. 😅
Did you see the "fish ends" box and the "bell ends" box behind him?
Omg, please more, this was amazing.
Bloody hell your career choices make so much sense now. I'd have joined the Navy too to get away from that even if it meant the risk of the Russians lobbing a nuclear torpedo my way.
As if being a civilian on the mainland would have made him more safe from Ruski instant sunshine, heh.
We need more of this jingles!
At the risk of repeating myself...I bloody love a Jingles Sunday bonus video, the more idiosyncratic the better!
Speaking of smoking in the 70s, I was really sick one time and my grandparents lived in Vancouver Washington and I stayed there while my parents were out. Now my grandparents were German and smoked, I remember laying on the plastic covered couch covered in a smoke smelled blanket smoke hazed room with smoke stained ceiling watching a western on a black and white TV....

27:40
I hate to correct you, but we did grill toast not so long ago on a festival.
A whole loaf even.
But as a festival guide pointed out to us, we perhaps should have removed the plastic packaging first....
Its good that people are available to help in such matters .
Jingles spends so much time laughing that he's missing a bunch of other sight gags in every scene.
And that's the whole point of this game it seems as you fumble around.
A good laugh is good for the soul.😂
He's crap as usual... that's why we're all here.
What's that, sir? A double shift in the salt mines, starting right now? Thank you kindly, I'll hop right to it!

11:34 "Mums got me back on the mercury again!"
My grandfather passed away a few months ago. While we were going through his house and cleaning, we found a tincture bottle: "Mercurochrome" - an antiseptic, Merobromin, was marketed as Mercurochrome, and this particular version of the medicine contained mercury. It has not been legally sold in the US since 1998. It was also banned in Brazil, Germany, and France - but is still sold in most other countries.
I remember that. Mum put it on all our cuts when we were children.
Yikes, as a kid in New Zealand in the 60s/70s we got Mercurochrome put on cuts and scrapes all the time. I never made the mercury connection.
Hearing the laughs from you on this is a treat.
Hearing a Jingles-laugh makes just about any day better.
It really did for me
❤ ya Jingles
It's made by people from Barnsley, so Barnsworth is Barnsley. If you look at the town as the bus drives in, you'll see Barnsley Town Hall on it. The bins, the bus stops, they're all the same. Brilliant game
Thought it seemed familiar even before the footage of Barnsley came up. Animations reminded me of growing up round here.
I'd say Billy Connolly the most internationally famous role was Il Duce from The Boondock Saints since it's a cult classic movie.
He also plays a minor role (sergant) in The Last Samurai but he has there only few minutes of screen time.
I think he counts his role in TLS as a failure since he didn't get his keks off, but I wouldn't want to speak for him. He was also in Mrs Brown with Judi Dench, where he did, so that one was a win.
He's also good in a 1998 British Comedy called Still Crazy with a bunch of other actors that went on to become famous actors.
There are a lot of clips of his stand up comedy routines on TH-cam as well. Funny, funny man.😁
I thought I’m gonna skip this video, but the commentary is just gold. Gave me insights on how 80s England was like.
Not only do we get to watch Jingles play a game, we get a history lesson in 1970s England.
Jungles in this game you need to hit absolutely everything every time (even things you might think that you think are there for nothing), it's really funny some interactions
I think he's leaving stuff for us to find ourselves if we haven't played the game yet. That's my cope.
Man, you really were ahead of time in the north of England. Solitaire, on a computer? In colour!

Anway, being slightly older than Jin gles we saw a fair share of weird British TV programmes back in the 70s.
There was the Lady Diana plate labelled 1997 too, so I don't think this game has a terribly consistent time period it's set in 😅.
That car with the driving instructor and student was also weird. Foreign model?
I dont think the game takes place in the 70s, its a bit too modern in places for that
I'm gonna have to go watch some last of the summer wine now. To me, one of the most quintessential British sitcoms ever.
Man i live there and its making me want to go for a wander
The loading screen looks like it might have been Yorkshire. I saw a Reliant Robin on the extreme left, almost out of shot.
Wow, there's some real great little details - the bottles of cheap cider called White Shite, the name on the CCTV monitor - Telluwot... The other graffiti stating that 'Roger is a nonce'...
Remember White lightning.. definately a 90's thing. Cant remember what we drank as teenagers in the 70's and 80's. Thats probably a good thing. :P
@spodula yeah, White Lightning was horrendous. The cheapest way to get totally trollied.
1:33 That's a Robin Reliant! I have fond memories of that car, not necessarily good, but fond. I still remember "The Great Egg Race" where they had to turn it into a boat.....
Reliant Robin lol, my uncle had one, used to sit the whole family, I remember Me Mum, Sister and I nearly always threw up in the garden when we got back from a drive.
5:50 above the door "Fortis in brachio, crassus in capite" = "Strong in Arm, Thick In Head". This is getting better and better... 😄
12:13 "Oh my, how the world has changed. I will say, this game is doing a really good job of making me feel old. I mean, 1970 the year I was born. Is closer to the first world war than today is to 1970."
I was born in the early Seventies and I know that feeling.
It's nice to see younger fans cropping up here.
I think Alien: Isolation works rather well with a controller 🤣
6:42 Hit the dude so hard he peed himself

Absolutely want to see you keep going with this Jingles!
Love seeing you pick up on how things were in the 70s, humour's spot on too.
I thought the voice of the gardener sounded familiar and when I looked it up, my suspicions were confirmed. They were able to get Matt Berry to do voices in this game.
I live in the North of England about 20 miles north of Middlesbrough and trust me it has not changed a bit 😂
34:46 Is that Liz Truss? 🤣🤣🤣
I'm seeing a few anachronisms here - recycling bins and large plastic wheelie bins in the 70s? National Lottery? That started in the 90s!
It looks good though. I can suspend my disbelief.
There was the Lady Diana plate labelled 1997 too. But yeah, the game is more of a Weird Trip than anything you want or need to stand up to thorough inspection. The Vibes are more important.
@vegladex true, and the vibes look very good.
Reminds me more of mid nineties Barnsley.
“fortis in brachio crassus in capite” = “strong in the arm and thick in the head”
Speaking of British coins, that is how the old bicycles with the huge large wheel and the tiny one got its name from - the Penny Farthing. The small penny and the large farthing representing the wheels.
its the other way round :) the penny was the bigger coin X

It is really awesome to see you play and talk about a game set in your childhood
If there is no Ministry of Silly Walks in this game, I don't know anymore.
Sunday video with a bonus unboxing? Sign me up, Uncle Jingles.
I preordered a controller ostensibly designed for the Steam Deck. Hopefully it's good, this is a company I've seen before and they appear to make some good stuff.

I mean look at that baby mouse in a stroller at 31:05 or the health and safety rating on the wall at 32:46 xDDDDD
So that was an experience. As an American the vast majority of references went right over my head, but Jingles was laughing and having a great time so it was still funny.
I'm no British but the sheer absurdity of this game makes me wanna see more of it :D
If you want to relive the 1970s, or just see what it looked like, I recommend a TV show "Back in time for dinner" from the BBC.
Fortis in Brachio, Crassus in Capite 'Strong in the arm, thick in the head'
Under the waves is a good, short, simple, controller game. Vibe is very 70s, but grim beyond words.
Cool, by the way, the farthing went in 61 (year I was born), 10 bob note went in 69, the actual change was 71. The happeny, the penny and the trepence went then. The 6 pence (2.5 n.p.), The bob, the two bob and the half crown (12.5 n.p.) carried on.
Like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Kept asking myself: "Self, why are you watching this?", but I couldn't look away.
glad you enjoyed it jingles (and theres a secret ending if you just stay on the chair at the start of the game as well)
Actually Jingles, grilled toast is a thing. As a welder it's been a thing for at least 100 years
I'm 37 so I never saw the 70s, but I appreciate im probably above the median age for watching Jingles videos. But the art on this game has a load of weird stuff as if the artist is 20 years old and typed "what did yorkshire look like in the olden days" into google and then just added anything before 1999! 1970s shops didn't have lottery, streets still had red phone boxes, phones mostly still had rotary dials. It looks more like now than 1970s, apart from no one has a mobile!
Utterly bizzarre- and quietly brilliant.
I'm having Benny Hill flashbacks from my childhood watching this.
Thatcher the milk snatcher? More like the heroine who saved us from being forced to drink lukewarm rancid milk... school milk is one of my top three worst food memories from my early days.
I cant believe it took you this long to play Comrade Commander Jangles, its one of the most British games to ever exist
When a joke is able to distract Jingles during one of his little rants/explinations you know it's good XD
Controller tip: Brothers - A tale of two sons. But I have to warn you, if your male brain works like mine it's gonna be a right challange. You need to controll both brothers at the same time with the two sticks on your controller. Still I think you would appriciate it.
Please part 2 this was the perfect way to start my sunday
This game feels like The Goose game meets Monty Python, and I love it
The moto above the town hall front foor is amazing, Fortis in brachio, crassus in capite. Strong in the arm, thick in the head.
I do hope this will turn into a full play through with the added history facts from the decent times.
This is basically a side make of "Bart Simpsons vs. The Space Mutants", sequential quest chains...
Edit; bonus "Well Actually, Jingles..... That was a Sports Walkman, cos it was all yellow"
This is amazing, the British humour which will go over peoples head is brilliant, little things like fish ends is next to bell ends. I would probably only get so far before pissing myself laughing if I downloaded this. More of this if you can even if its the odd treat to roll out
I just KNEW you had to play this game after I played it not too long ago! It’s the greatest British comedy game, bar none!
Also, that League of Gentlemen comparison is spot on, too
U-boat gameplay when?? More Sea Power gameplay when???
As one of the rowdy Colonials I have to assume this is exactly what it's like in Ol Blighty
Watched this game before, and played it myself, but I'll watch it again for Jingles commentary.
these random videos are my favorite jingles!
27:35 no Jingles, that’s grilling. Barbecue involves lower temperatures and longer cook times, typically a smoker. I swear Brits get confused with cooking so easily.
As someone who grew up poor in Canada in the 1970's I totally understand Jingles.
Thanks and back to the salt mine....
This was a fun watch. Looking forward for more :)
Jingles, It's not your regular kind of Game to do video's, but I sure htere are many of us who would love to see you playing Helldivers 2
There are some anachronistic items in there. Foe example, the litter bins, the 80's style glass telephone kiosk, the parking ticket machine etc.
Oh man, I'd love more of this!
Jingles plays the slow decent into madness, North of England edition.
This was hilarious to watch, I hope we see more!
Haha, it's based on Barnsley, my home town, some of the cut scenes were of Barnsley market, and yes, it was/is still that grim....
27:27 It may not have been a thing, but as soon as I can get my hands on a barbecue it will be 🤣🤣🤣
Weird extra Jingles video, we'll take it :D
Substitute the colliery with a paper mill, and this could near have been my own hometown of Newcastle (now Miramichi) in New Brunswick, Canada back in the 70s.
Some deep Jingles lore in this video
Good morning Gnome Overlord. Thank you for the Sunday video!!
Jingles, about the USB dongle for your controller. I could be wrong about this, but afaik those aren't really necessary anymore, as modern PCs almost always have built in Blutooth as standard. The dongle is more for older PCs, or for pairing multiple controllers.
I remember being on holiday at Flamborough circa 1976. Chips were 5p, Yorkshire fishcakes were 7p and a fish was 15p. You could feed a family of four, for less than a pound.
The last time I got fish and chips plus mushy peas and curry sauce for me and my two children, I barely got any change out of a £20 note. 😂😢😂
I’m here for the 70’s England lore.
My mum's family was from Devon & south Wales so I probably get more of the references than the average American. Even so, I didn't get some of them. More of this game please.
1964 here so I'm old enough to remember people smoking on airplanes and tobacco adds on TV.
Don't know what this game is about either, but it is lovely to hear that sweet Geordie (?) melody. Been to the North of England (and later on up to Scotland) a few times, and I found that singing tone of voice so funny. For all I know they could have been ranting at me - having been taught received pronunciation at school I just didn't comprehend three quarters of what they were saying - but it all sounded so sweet and friendly.
