    Man, I think after you ate that dog shit, I don't know, somehow, it might have opened a pandora box in your brain, and now you are in a complete different level of art, I think you are going a crazy Mike, but it's good, you know, all the real inspiration came from crazy men.

    Altrought I would like too see more acting coming from you.

    Wow, that was very informative. I didn't know disabled people were the first TV stars. xD

    It's about time you posted more of these Brittish History segments. I would love to know more about the history of Brittain. =D So keep them coming and maby one day we'll find out why it's called Brittain.
  • robokill387
    If you really want to know, it's called britain because that's what the ancient romans called it. the actuall british people of that time didn't really have a name for their country, since they were a bunch of scattered tribes, so the name stuck.

    Good to know that classic British humor is alive and well =D .

    But now I wonder... How did channel surfing work back in the day? Did the disabled people kept coming in and out of the box at an insane pace? o_O =D

    I for one will definitely watch this video. Thank you Mr J - or may I call you Mike? No, that would be overly familiar for a British Person. You'd probably have to get in a queue to recover from the mild embarassment.

    Makes alot of sense when you think about it.

    I love these segments on Britain's history Mike. I hope this series continues for a bit, because I really like it and I think it is quite professionally done. =)

    Oh, and to continue a trend ...

    Wow! the roots of Big Brother suddenly make perfect sense XD
  • Poonoo
    Love how the whole handicapped thing at the beginning is a reference to the term "idiot Box" used for TV. Just as good as the first one, hopefully there is more in the pipeline.

    I believe that's the key to British humor.

    Oh my, will there be a show about tomatoes here in Holland? :o
    (and not the chest-tomatoes seeing that I'm not a lesbian. xD)
  • superneku

    I SOOO agree about Big Brother. It explains EVERYTHING! XD

    I'm hoping we'll get a TV show about turnips as well as tomatoes as well :want:

    Here I was thinking that the Food sketch was the only British History segment you would do. What a pleasant surprise to see this little gem on the main page today! I hope you do more of these as they're pure hilarity incarnate.

    This reminds me of the "Time Masheen" in the film Idiocracy : "We're gonna take you back, to the year 1939 when Charlie Chaplin and his nazi regime enslaved Europe and tried to take over the world... But then an even greater force emerged: the un! And the un unnazified the world - forever!"

    Unfortunately, real history classes are starting to look more and more like the parody you're presenting here.
