American Reacts The Armstrong and Miller Show - WWII Pilots 1 

4:52 "Yes, you can claim for that" As in claim compensation.

He said 'Now that is assault, you can claim for that!'

This was made when Armstrong and Miller thought about how young many of the ww2 pilots were and imagined how the young people of today would handle the same situation.

That guy I know from Death in Paradise where he is a kind of a detective in some british island somewhere in the Caribbean

McJibbin - the person you're saying "is he from another show" is Ben Miller, and he's almost the spitting image of Rob Brydon (the host of Would I Lie To You). Maybe that's what you're thinking of. Also, Miller appears in the Johnny English films as Rowan Atkinson's sidekick.

I love these Armstrong and Miller WWII pilots sketches. The not too subtle sub-text here is that the RAF pilots of the war were some of the best men the British ever had and the kids of today are the utter shits. Other Armstrong & Miller ones to check out are; "Brabbins and Fyffe" Those are funny by themselves but they satirize a musical comedy duo "Flanders and Swan" from the 1950s that are now almost totally forgotten. Yo Blood that's like so totally random ! Like totally ! Totally !

BBC radio started in 1922. TV ten years later. The Royal Mint has just issued a commemorative 50p coin in the UK to mark the anniversary.

I heard this type of chat on the bus yesterday 😂

Ben Miller bears a resemblance to Rob Brydon, the host of ‘Would I Lie to You?’

The great thing about Armstrong and Miller and other British sketch shows is the high quality of the writing and acting. They take comedy seriously and it makes the sketches hilarious even in repeat viewing. I love the details that can be missed on first or even second viewing. Dear Connor you have done many reaction videos why dont you do a top ten of your favourite sketches I am sure that would be utterly entertaining and worthwhile. Cheers. Graham.

Ben Miller has been in a lot of things, he was the main detective in the first 2 seasons of Death in Paradise, he was in8 episodes of Brigerton, he was in Johny English Strikes again, and Padington 2... and many other things. Alexander Armstrong, is more famous for his voice as he is a singer, a radio presenter for Classic FM and a voice actor for a number of cartoons such as Peppa Pig, Dugee and Danger Mouse, but has appeared in Doctor Who and the spin off Sarah Jane adventures and again many many other things.... and he is also the host of a popular game show called Pointless.

Ben Miller was recently in Bridgerton season 1, Johnny English 2, Paddington 2... so maybe from one of those

Imagine if you took 2 14-year-old boys from our equivalent of "Jersey shoes" and dump them back in 1939 as pilots. This would be how they behaved.This show was made before instant TV streaming et cetera so we had to wait a week for each episode. I would suggest only watching the airman once or maybe twice a week because it keeps them and the jokes in them fresh. They have both gone on to become very good actors in many fields

His sister was 'slack' aka 'loose' not a vigilant guardian of her honour...

The Mitchel/Webb + Armstrong/Miller pilot sketch was done for Comic Relief where they often do mashups of well known programs/sketches often with some unexpected celebrity guests.

The idea of these sketches is what would it be like if WW2 pilots in the 1940s talked and thought like today's London youth culture/social media generation and how would that play out?

He's the main character in a UK TV drama called Professor T. In it he's a serious actor playing a criminal psychologist.

He said: "Yes, you can claim for that." - I thought you'd be familiar with that phrase. 😁

If I'm not mistaken, the first clip was actually the very first sketch with the characters...certainly on TV, unsure if they were on the radio series (probably wouldn't work quite as well). Anyway, you can tell by the opening that the visuals leading on to their dialogue were very much intended to create the comedy!

The subtitles failed us after the execution threat, but I think what followed was "That IS assault- you can get paid for for that"

Armstrong and Miller dentist sketches are just as funny too. Never seen a reaction to them.

slack is a reference to slack morals.

Little Britain doing the Vicky Pollard sketches has this kind of chat at hyperspeed - good luck trying to understand Vicky in full flow!

The BBC is 100 years old this year.

6:13 The BBC is 100 years old.

The BBC is one hundred years old this year.

"No way blood, eff (short for f#ck) off!" "Taken out and shot by firing squad,.... now that is assault". "Yes, you can claim for that".

Ben Miller has also been in Johnny English as well.

Watch these guys doing old school vampires they're hilarious.😁😁

slack girls are great, they let you get tops and sometimes a sticky finger lol!!

Alexander Armstrong is directly related to Edward 111. So subsequently related to William 1.

I’m pretty sure you’ve seen Vicky Pollard right? Imagine Vicky Pollard (or her brother I suppose) was a fighter pilot in 1940 but still kept the same speech patterns and complaints - but with the stereotypical accent associated with Royal Air Force pilots of the time. So it’s not modern people but specifically certain modern *youth*

he said you can CLAIM for that

"Blud" is basically "bro", it comes from "Blood brothers"

BBC turned 100 this year.

Watch them do The Origins Of…….. Stone Age Britain and its very funny😊

I used to say "standard" "safe" and "blood" all the time... Millennial? Nah, chav generation. Blood.

Hotdog down a hallway 🤣

BBC celebrating its. 100 th year this year

Check out the Brabbins and Fife skits.

I still think that the "gay bar" sketch is my favourite.

Slack just means easy. Her legs are slack. They open with not too much trouble. lol

Apologies but I'm only just catching up on some bookmarked episodes! The BBC was founded on 18 October 1922.

It was Mitchell and Webb. Sooo thick!

Not "modern" people but "certain" people 😉

It's the incredible blending of modern youth language with the stiff upper class voices that's so hilarious. Ben Miller does appear in other things but mainly British television.

The subtitles aren't always correct. Who does them? 'ever' should be 'f off', 'so sure' should be 'fo' sure', 'there's awesome trousers' should be 'they is awesome trousers'.

They completely miss out 'she's well up for it', ' (blank)mission is planned foreign', should be 'a bombing mission is planned for', 'we can and will use force if necessary' is missed out, 'fine' should be 'fined', 'legal aid in a telephone call' should be 'legal aid and a telephone call', 'you have nice in this room' should be 'you have no rights in this room', he' did it as a modular Berlin unit' should be 'we did it as a module in Berlin Uni, 'chill bill' should be 'chill pill', Gracie feels means bad' should be 'Gracie Fields mings bad'.

4:57 You can claim for that...

I think it's a comment on the blinkered, self-centered,trivial attitude of modern metropolitan youth, apart from the absurdity of unrealistic accents in films of a certain era.

Hiya Connor ✋

I think you might be confusing him with Rob Brydon .

Two bob = 10 pence.

the other part of the gag is that they are talking like teenage school girls with a kind of ghetto slang

slack=loose

The best one is missing

Slack, the opposite of tight..

To be fair, it’s an acquired taste. It wouldn’t surprise me if Americans didn’t particularly like it.

Slack is loose

Blud = dude (one young man to another man) - usually a London term. Innit? = right? Munter = unattractive lady Slack = easy

Slack means the person is of low morals , or lazy etc.
