To be clear, only the British betrayed “chuggy” like that. The French brought their machines home.
The French chuggy will go on a rampage to avenge the British chuggy
@Ann_the Snowowl i wasn't aware Robbins was a German name... you may be thinking of the guy that invented the device that made sure the 2 tunnels would meet in the middle; he was German, but he didn't make the drills that were used, a company named Robbins did
The British digging machines weren't given names (just numbers); whereas the French ones were all named after women: Brigitte, Europa, Catherine, Virginie, Pascaline, and Séverine.
I bet it was the Tories...
Like, did Chuggy not have a reverse?
Chuggy is still there... waiting... and waiting... and planning his revenge... Chuggy has learned to be patient in his long years of imprisonment but he knows that one day his time will come
He's not...Cthulhu, is he?
He shall lead an underground movement...
Millions of years from now when the tectonic plates of the Earth move and the English Channel is a plateau. Archeologists will dig and find the final resting chamber of Chuggy and unleash his curse onto the world.
He might already be out there...they might break down the brick walls and find his tomb abandoned...
Whenever you're walking alone at night and you feel eyes watching you from the darkness...do not run
Chuggy is faster than you
By now he probably already dug all the way under that arsehole's house.
Chuggie wasn't abandoned. He's been left like King Arthur to awaken in our time of need!
This is actually genius, like a Penn and Teller magic show, performing the trick while telling you how it's done and fooling you anyway.
The buried diggers bother me just because it’s a waste of perfectly good machines that took time, energy, and materials to make.
Yes!
It's a *specialized* and a *used* machine - Meaning that it's not worth fixing and transporting to a new work site that would be scarce anyhow because of it being specialized.
Admit it, you're a softy! :p
@@tuxuhds6955 diggers can be used multiple times though?? Like,, they're not just single use
@@wakeywakeyvegetables6133 Used where?? there's wear and tear that needs to be fixed and would cost tons and besides - the machine itself is probably costing millions so I doubt there'd be a straight forward sale of it since not many had that kind of sums.
FYI: "After Work Done, Drills Likely Will Be Buried. / NY-Sun, January 18, 2007"
www.nysun.com/new-york/after-work-done-drills-likely-will-be-buried/46894/
Another fun fact, a regular excavator insurance can get as high as $2,000,000.
Imagine what it would cost to insure a "second hand" digger.
@@tuxuhds6955 I think they were referring to the diggers from the first part of the story, the ones under the houses. The "chuggies" are more or less just set being where they are buried.
Dara's got perfect mug for impersonating Chuggy...
Well, he's about the same size as those digging machines.
Dara is huge!
This reminds me of something my teacher did in school. They snapped a pencil in half and asked "does anyone care that I just snapped a pencil?" "No" we all said. Then they picked up another pencil, and said simply "this pencil is called George. George has a loving family." Then snapped George in half too. The simple fact we all got a gut-wrenching shock moment taught us how personification of objects has such a profound in human nature!
Community has an excellent scene like that
It. is. killing. me. that you didn't mention the age of the students.
Fun Fact: Only the English Chuggy was left behind, the French dismantled theirs and took them back out.
They DISMANTLED chuggy!? that poor creature didn't deserve this fate! I know neither of them could feel but for heavens sake one of them was abandoned and the other was dismembered and if you think I'm weird for crying then maybe you're the weird one. D:
Only because the French one didn’t want to be in England
@@evepayler1461 god damnit now I'm coming up with a backstory for the French one as well!
Ove seen one of them. It had a sign saying “For sale, one carefull owner” 😀. Maybe it was the service tunnel machine.
Qi was it
This is like Henry being bricked up in that tunnel in Thomas the Tank Engine all over again. 😭😭
Dara can weave a tale that leaves you laughing through your tears.
I hope he stays around for a Very Long Time.
And doesn't get bricked up in a wall of an under-the Channel tunnel...
The Brits are heartless, thank God the french did not abandon their Chuggie into the void... totally alone and abandoned in the cold cold sea floor. 🙃
The only reason the French bought theirs out is their's were worth more than the British as they were more waterproof. As the machines met head-on only one could be bought out (over the top of the other) so if you think about, Britain made a sacrifice for France.
I grew up with the book, "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" in which the steam shovel was left in the basement of its last building dig site, and converted into a furnace for the building.
... And, hearing it for a second time... It makes me tear up.
Such is art.
This is brilliant and heartbreaking at the same time. Loved it.
There was a sweet storybook when I was kid about a steamshovel that couldn't get out, so they turned it into the building's furnace and it got to have a happy retirement. His driver became the caretaker.
I remember that book.
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. I loved that book as a little kid.
@@lordkameguru7851 that is the one! Mine was a book and record combination! Loved it.
@@lordkameguru7851 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! THANK YOU! Couldn't remember for the life of me.
Chuggy will return when the world needs him the most.
And do what, exactly - Kill us all for bricking him up in a feckin' tunnel wall?!
The two UK TBMs actually had wires strung to them and act as the electrical grounding for the middle area of the tunnel. So in a way, they continue to faithfully serve the tunnel even today.
Oh god that hits me in the feels even harder, the self-sacrifice and sense of duty
Should have also brought up the Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers. Intrepid little scamps they were.
I mean, to be fair, we don't exactly have the capability to recover them... yet!
And poor Voyager, swimming alone through the vast deep ocean of space.
Surprised he didn't bring up that the Mars Curiosity rover one year, at the discretion of the scientists in charge, hummed out the happy birthday tune to itself. All alone. On the cold, desolate landscape.
That is just heartbreaking
I'm in bed with a fever at the moment, and this has me on the verge of actual tears
I’d pay very good money to watch a movie called “Chuggy’s Revenge” where Chuggy gains sentience, burrows up and leaps out of the channel like a shark and makes his way to London to destroy it like a cigar-shaped Godzilla
So revenge is moral then?
@@JohnSmith-nz2yq It can be. Context is important.
@@JohnSmith-nz2yq The justice system is just revenge with extra steps.
The French chuggy will go on a rampage to avenge the English chuggy.
Reminds me of those comics about the Mars rover and how it's driving away up there, dutifully collecting samples for the team back on Earth in hopes that it'll get to come home one day if it does a good job.
Way to make me my eyes drip for the sake of a machine.
Love the thought that billionaires have turd kitchens in the London mansions.
No kitchens! If it has a kitchen it's a residence and then they as British residents would be liable for tax in the UK , billionaires do not claim residency in a country that is not a tax haven.
Brilliant commentary on the state of British food!
Yum
*third kitchen
@@panda4247 Yes, dear, I am aware of the effect the Irish pronunciation has on the th sound. It's a joke. Get it?
One day we're going to hear about how a section of the tunnel has collapsed and an old Chuggy was seen leaving the scene.
Poor Chuggy 😔😪
I feel the same way about Voyager I leaving our solar system. 😥😆
I will see things we will only see in centuries to come. When the aliens look up and see our ships slowly pushing onwards through space, they may ask themselves where we're going, but we'll know: we're going to get Voyager I and bring it home. So long as Voyager I is still ahead, our journey is not yet complete.
@@sorrowandsufferin924 Beautifully said! You've made me feel better about its departure...and even choked me up a little.🥺
if you want something really depressing, on the 1 year anniversary of the mars rover it sung happy birthday by itself
Voyager I has not been abandoned... she's on a continuing mission:
To explore strange new worlds,
To seek out new life and new civilisations,
To boldly go where no man-made artefact has gone before!
Ooo I cried when that Mars rover powered down
je m'appelle chuggy .... Tears
Poor old Chuggy 😭😅
I remember recently there was a similar thing with a rover on Mars I believe? The rover even sent back a really tragic goodbye message which some whimsical NASA engineer had preprogrammed in before leaving Earth. Apparently there wasn’t a dry eye in the house in Houston after receiving the message.
It was actually quite a sad little tale if you realise it had diligently been roaming about, sending us back images for decades but sadly the amount of debris and dust that had accumulated over time had obscured its solar cells so it ran out of energy. Now it sits all by its lonesome on a vast and empty planet. 😢
Funny enough, there's a similar situation among the players of the game Deep Rock Galactic.
For thoses who don't know, it's a 4-players coop game in which you're sent to mine on a very hostile planet. One of the missions ask you to defend a "Drilldozer" (affectiously named Doretta by the characters) against the local fauna so it may reach a rock impossible to crack open otherwise (said rock containing extremely valuable stones in its core). Once the stone is cracked open, the Drilldozer shuts down and only the "head" (the part of the machine containing the AI, as well as the optical scanners) can be salvaged. Mind you, there's no incentive to save it: the thing is rougly half the size of your characters, as much as heavy, which slows you down when you're holding it, and you get no bonus reward from doing so. Yet players still do it regardless. Not trying to save Doretta is almost considered a faux pas in the community.
A bit 'prophetic' after the floods in London!
Thanks from Scotland.
Lol! Tell me about the Pâtisserie, George...
In the no-too-distant future, optimization will require artificial intelligence to be built into next-generation Mr. Chuggie. He (gender chosen for story consistency) will participate in the IOT (Internet of things) and will be self-aware and listening to the IOT chatter. When future Mr. Chuggie finds out about his imminent demise, will there be a labor action, a high court case, a revolt of the chuggies? Will the worm turn and attack his masters? Ample food for comedy and a good science fiction movie. Chuggie vs London
@Eleanor Bartle I assure you, somebody will take a book out of Star Wars: The Old Republic and create a machine with the sole purpose of surviving and/or self-improving and perserving itself.
It's difficult to forget your original purpose in lieu of an ancillary goal if the ancillary goal always has been your original purpose: to survive. To endure.
Currently, some of us are concerning themselves with the problem of how to preserve knowledge, how to save knowledge from the tooth of time. Maybe, such a machine will be the next step on that journey; a machine that maintains itself, that exists on so long as there are spare parts to be found and/or created. A library programmed to survive.
Fun fact the British chuggy machine getting bricked up was narrated by Ringo Starr
Should have learned from Mike Mulligan and Mary Ann and turned them into furnaces ;)
So I'm *not* the only one who remembers...
In loving memory of Chuggy.
no chuggys were hurt during this production
What a treasure for the cockroach and octopus archeologists who replace us.
Nooooooo Save Chuggey!!
I didn’t know Gru from despicable me was doing stand up. He’s on par with Dara o Brian
Next Megabus will be doing comedy!
Very original. He made a joke about that many years ago :)
@@schoppepetzer9267 I may not be original but I have the most liked comment on the video
@@evepayler1461 nope
Is Dara O Brian as good as Dara O'Briain?
Mike Mulligan and his Steamshovel in modern times, with an evil twist. LOL
Loved him on taskmaster.
I remember watching this on tv years ago, never could find the full video on youtube until now
What's hilarious about the digger bit is... Isn't that a children's story?
Where the steam shovel even became like a heating unit for the building?
Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel! I loved that book as a kid.
the french took them apart and reassembled them outside of the tunnel. The english made them bury themselves
Alas. Poor Chuggy!
#PoorOldChuggy
The digger 30 years later when a salvage crew breaks open the concrete wall and finds it:
"I always come back!"
my dad thanks his Alexa every time he asks her a question.
also this made me cry a little
Her name is Virginie and she stands as an homage in the middle of a roundabout in Coquelles near the exit of the tunnel.
#Poorolchuggy
Chuggy lives!
Here in Aus we've done similar, although the drills are stripped for everything that can be scavenged prior to leaving them behind.
Why? Because the tunnel is being built behind them, they can't go in reverse. Digging forwards until they make a new home to exit from is not worth it
He's seen of mice and men then
I was thinking that the whole time! This has heavy 'Will I get to pet the rabbits George?" vibes
Genious! #pooroldchuggy
The French took their chuggy out of the tunnel
brilliant! 😀
"Tonight Chuggy will be voiced by Ringo Starr..."
Poor Chuggy deserved better
#ЧухЖиви! ))
Whaaaaaaaa....aaa poor chuggy!!!!
Poor old chuggy....
#JusticeForChuggy
#poorOldChuggy XDDD i've pissed myself
My Irish Dad was a builders labourer in london. In the 1950s. They bricked him up into a wall. We never saw him again😮
I know we buried the English tunneller, but I thought the French one was in a museum?
CHUGGY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Dig hole for the hole lol
Getting Poe vibes
"Deconstructing all those valuable machines and materials for recycling? No, that's crazy just bury it already let the Earth do the rest." -The rich. His point on immigrant labour sounds very pharaoh like. They used to do that.😅
That digger has more humanity in it than the billionaires...
I'm just relieved they didn't brick the guy in as well.
#JeSuisChuggy
Surely you read Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel? Read it! Lovely child's book.
Going off the thumbnail I thought this was Alexei Sayle
Wouldn't burying it at the bottom compromise it in some way? And screw you man! Chuggy deserved better!
And in 500 years, the archaeologists will say, they always buried these diggers beneath their homes as a religious sacrifice.
Remember in Thomas the Tank Engine when they bricked up Henry cause he refused to move cause of the rain?
Yeah, that level of fucked up.
I'm not upset because I feel bad for the digger. I'm upset because they buried a perfectly good piece of construction equipment because they are too lazy to lift it out and too rich to have to care about its cost.
not screw you, but still, poor chuggy
Free the chuggy one. I would say two, but the French is already a Citroen.
Omg, what I find disappointing is that these millionaires/billionaires have all the money on the world to build a 3rd underground kitchen, but not enough money to crane out ol' Chuggie from the depths of their insecurities.
What about the mars rover that slowly died and sent out the message "My batteries are running low and its getting dark!"
It didn't literally send that message. The state of the batteries and solar panels are just sent as data with telemetry from the rover. But NASA tweeted that out on its official account.
@@bbgun061 I mean, the content of the transmission matches... they just presented it with a phrasing that gave it implied context.
Space nerds are a surprisingly sentimental lot.
I know people that give names to all their things in their household
If this upset's you, never check on Nasa's rovers on Mars...
They did everything in their power to save Curiosity. They only relented when it was clear that nothing on our planet, no knowledge, no ingenuity could be used to help Curiosity survive.
And so they did what humans do when we lose someone we care about: they played it a love song.
@@sorrowandsufferin924 Curiosity is still going strong, almost eleven years into its planned two-year mission. You might be thinking of Spirit and Opportunity. They were planned to last 90 days, though Spirit lived for over six years and Opportunity for over 14!
Next horror movie script is writing itself...
This video is quiet I had to quadruple my regular volume to hear it
Poor chuggy mcchugface
Of Mice and Men 😅
#freechuggy
Wall-e did not help us with this
wait he has legs
This guy never has, and never will be, funny.
And you will never learn proper grammar. Who knew you two had something in common?
So long as it doesn't evolve into religion, I actually anthropomorphism is pretty harmless
That's some cask of amontillado s#@& right there...
Whats he talking about?
its cuse its a waste of equipment
Was the Poms one called Chuggy?
Seems a waste- worth showing off as a museum piece.
"I would understand being that upset if it was immigrant labour". Well if the digger was built overseas, then technically it is immigrant labour.
