American Reacts | THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN | Attachments Dating Agency | REACTION 

Beware,some of the characters in The League of Gentleman are very dark,very twisted,almost evil,which may leave you open mouthed rather than seeking harmless roaring laughter (ie Papa Lazarou,Tubbs & Edward,Herr Lipp)..Its not laugh out loud slapstick or stand up,so you will have to really follow the gist of the characters to understand the various plotlines.It's definately NOT a sketch show in the normal sense,even though it plays out various 'sketches' or scenes,some of the characters persist throughout the series in plotlines.

League of Gentleman was dark, incredibly dark, it sparked some controversy, even the people in the village where it was filmed weren't particularly fond of being associated with the show, but as someone who grew up in a remote UK community, part of the reason I love the show is how true to reality a lot of the dark humour actually is, it's truly brilliant and on my top ten list of greatest UK sitcoms of all-time. There was a brilliant show called 'Teachers' which I'd love to see you react to, it was basically inbetweeners but from the teacher's perspective, and the teachers in the show are equally badly behaved, it's a true cult classic, as it's not that well known, but is adored by those who do know of it.

League of Gentlemen is absolutely hilarious. It’s dark, twisted, brilliantly written and performed and absolutely one of a kind. It’s genius! Highly recommended to react to the whole show (and movie).

League of Gentlemen is the most gloriously Dark comedy series ever produced. Fantastic Charachters.

I think it helps to watch full episodes. It’s like a sitcom with sketches. So all the characters are in sketches that make up an overarching story. It’s very dark comedy but I personally loved it.

League of Gentlemen is really funny, you need to watch a full episode, but it's only for 'local people'

It is never not dark. The League of Gentlemen is brilliant. It is like a combination of kitchen-sink drama and very dark comedy. The characterisations, variously played by the 3 main actors, are brilliantly written and performed. This works better by watching the episodes in order, series by series, not dipping in. Much of it can work as set pieces however.

"A little dark at the end" is the signature humour of League of Gentlemen 8:03 It's based in a fictional town called Royston Vasey, the 3 main actors play most of the characters (of both sexes) but there's a lot of recurring characters, there was a movie as well which is just nucking futs.

you need to do episode 1 series 1 to see the full range of characters... it is a very very dark comedy but absolute genius...probably my favourite comedy of all time (along with Psychoville)

It was filmed in my wife's home town, and after initial misgivings by the locals the series came to be a source of pride. It was fun watching with her as she recognised all the home landmarks. Her mum and dad lived across from Hilary Briss' "special" butcher shop...

4 actors that play ALL the characters - these characters live in the fictional northern town of Royston Vasey - the humour is very dark, topics including murder, kidnapping, possibly cannibalism (never quite got to know what the special meat was sold by the butcher to his select few customers). Some real laugh out loud moments but best watched as a whole as many of the storylines develop from episode to episode - also keep an eye out in shop windows, notice boards or generally just in the back of shot as there are some very funny jokes posted that are easy to miss.

League of Gentlemen is fantastic, it was the centre of a stage of dark comedy that rose up in the 90’s. Do it all from the start you will mot regret it … you’ll never leave !

OH WOW my all time absolute favorite comedy series!!! Pure genius 😂

The League of Gentlemen is an excellent series! Plenty before me have now given an accurate description of a dark yet hilarious show. One small clip can't do it justice. If you enjoy this show, I heartily recommend Inside No.9 as a follow up. It's written and performed by the two actors you saw in this clip here - Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith; every episode has a unique story and the only linking thread is the number 9 in some way. Incredibly witty, comically dark and usually with a twist ending every episode. But first, check out The League!

these two guys are genius! especially in the macarbe comedy style. Psychoville is great.

King Boomer, The League Of Gentleman is going to blow your mind 😳 it's absolutely out there on so many levels you'll be genuinely shocked by some of it, but it's an absolute cult TV series, one of most amazing things about it is how the core cast play so many different characters male and female that makes it so unique, I absolutely love it pal, and I hope you can get to understand and enjoy it's dark sense of humor, I'm not sure if Queen Boomer will enjoy it but give it time and hopefully you'll both love it like the ardent fans do 🤗

LoG is brilliant. So dark, 'tis almost wicked. It is set in a northern small town of Royston Vesey (Chubby Brown's real name - he has a cameo as the Mayor). The guys play all the main characters in the town. It's a very dark soap opera. Well worth a watch. Watch the series though.

It's more of a soap than a sketch show, a dark soap opera with a surreal element that targets your thoughts as opposed to the emotional fiction (that tries represent real life) in standard soaps. It's well written and the characters are believable. It's like that weird neighbour that you walk away from and wonder what goes on in his life, well this show invites you in and sometimes you wish you didn't find out.

Fifty characters all played by the same three actors. Unrivalled!

One of my favourite comedy shows ever, worth watching start to finish.

I think it's quite difficult to appreciate League of Gentleman without watching a full episode to really get to grips with the concept. But yes it is a very dark sketch show, played mainly by four actors, set in the fictional rural town of Royston Vasey. You may like to know that Royston Vasey is actually the real name of Roy "Chubby" Brown, from where they got the name for the town. He actually appears as the mayor of the town in some episodes.

You may be affected mentally watching these lol. But the 2 guys in this scene wrote some fabulous stories in the series called 'Inside No 9'. Again some very dark characters and dark storylines. But also a couple of very moving episodes, I found.

The show is about a community whose dark lives are portrayed by sketches in which most parts are played by three actors. It is a brilliant show and as the sketches are interlinked and have developing stories, full episodes are advisable.

There are some great characters in this show, checkout Tubbs & her husband who own the local shop. And The Dentons (Aqua Vita) where they force Ben to drink his own piss.

Stop listening to the discord. They keep making you watch things out of context. 😂 Love you 💕 #muppet PS Harry Enfield - 'Kevin becomes a Teenager', would have given context to the sketch you saw the other day.

League of Gentlemen is the definition of dark comedy! Also check out Psychoville and Inside Number 9 if you get chance at some point (made by the same writers and actors).

Mate this is hilarious and dark these series are works of art,once hooked you will want more.Its based around activities in a village called royston vasey who im led to beleive is actually roy chubby browns real name.

League of Gentlemen is a fantastic dark humour show. There are mainly 3 actors play different characters based in a fictional town of Royston Vasey. Brilliant show it was. My favourite character was Mr Chinnery - The accident prone Veternary Surgeon.

I wondered when we could safely introduce our King Boomer to The League of Gentleman!...(ps. the Germans absolutely loved it.)

The League is dark and surreal. It’s incredible but I know some people don’t ‘get it’. Would recommend trying a few full episodes to see if you like it or not. I love them and psychoville, inside no.9-anything they are involved in is usually extremely good.

League of Gentleman is a dark comedy with recurring characters, who are all living or visiting the isolated village of Royston Vasey - such as, the village veterinarian who usually ends up killing the animals he's meant to be helping...

Dark Humour, Horror and Goofy characters all in one glorious mix. I love the series especially because I lived there before it was made (I wasn't a Local !) and find so much of it strangely relatable. All of the main characters (played by the same four actors) are outstanding - The Denton's and their house rules , Pauline and her Job Seekers and of course Tubbs and Edward with their local shop, just to name a few..

Yes Bro!!!! The League Of Gentleman is the absolute best!!

“You’re my wife now Dave”. 😂🤣😂

League of Gentlemen is very dark indeed, and very funny. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, however it’s unrivalled in its uniqueness. If you like dark comedy, dive in.

3 main actors do all the main characters male and female, very dark comedy, I love it, you should watch a clip with Pauline and the job centre or just start from series one episode one, the creators love comedy and classic horror so mixed the two it's genius! 👍

The 2 actors in this, Steve Pemberton and Reese Shearsmith are phenomenal actors. You should check out ‘Inside No. 9’. It’s a very dark and twisted series with stand-alone episodes. For a comedy episode go to Series 1, Episode 2 called A Quiet not got in. Very funny.

The League of Gentlemen was a comedy series, but each scene was a vignette, a little sketch within the whole show. There are some great vignettes. Check out The League of Gentlemen, "Papa Lazarou, You're My Wife Now". There is another tiny little sketch that I've plugged with you a couple of times, not related to TLoG, from another comedy show called Brass Eye. I think the title being ominous has frightened you. I promise, it's the funniest 27 seconds on the internet, "Paedophile Blasted Into Space". You will pee yourself.

Apart from the brilliance of LoG, this also launched more shows with the team, Psychoville and Inside Number 9, both of which really need to be watched end to end for the full dark effect. Another great show to watch is Camping, a Julia Davis masterpiece !!

Aaaaannnnnddd…..that’s as light as it gets! Not sure many have reviewed the whole series, maybe copyright issues? - but it is really worth watching for your own pleasure/discomfort! It really is a one off, nothing else like it (except the League when they did other projects like Psychoville and Inside No. 9) bizarre, hilarious and shot through with an occasional strange pathos. Like many British TV shows it’s a short run, three series, a not-very-Christmassy special, a feature film, several live tours and a recent - 2020 I think! - catch up series. The last series culminated in a Tristam Shandy-esque final line and the last live tour tied up developments from that series with Highlights including ‘what happened to Mick the cave guide’, ‘Edward and Tubbs - The Musical’ and the Reverend Bernice taking it out on the audience with extreme prejudice!

This is one which is really worth watching full series of, to really get the characters. If you want more dark British humour (which was prevalent in the late 90s early 00s) try Jam, particularly a sketch called 'smart pipes'.

Fun Fact - LOG is set in the fictional town of Royston Vasey, which is the real name of Roy Chubby Brown, who plays the Mayor in a couple of episodes. His Mayor character plays out like the Mayor of the town where Jaws was set and were brilliant.

The Town is named Royston Vasey in homage to Roy Chubby Brown as that is his real name and he appears in the show as the mayor.

My wife and I were in a Café in a Suffolk seaside village and we still laugh about it as the 'local restaurant for local people' as the experience made us think of Royston Vasey. The waitress was laughing, smiling and joking with people she knew then broke it off and approached us. By the time she reached us the smile had completely gone and the mood of irritation on her now sour features was impossible to miss. The service was very curt and obviously we were a very irritating distraction from better things. It always was amusing when England of all places tried to switch to being a service culture as this program is not pure imagination I can assure you. Fawlty Towers was based on real life experience for example. Many shops in the UK are plastered with notices not to abuse the staff as there is little right of reply and double standards in treatment of customers against what the shopkeepers can say so no answering back is tolerated. Our ailing failing NHS will be festooned with these notices as the medical practice will not really want to see you or be bothered with your petty problems and it is free so they are doing you a massive favour. Complain and you will need to find a new doctor and you will rarely see one of those nowadays whatever.

England is not afraid to be harsh in its comedy - half the laughing is in the surprise of the inappropriate comments. 😆 🤣

League of Gentlemen is a sitcom in the style of a sketch show. Especially first two series. It's a hybrid of both due to characters interacting with many others than simply unrelated like you would get in a normal sketch show. It also has loose storylines/archs. It is dark comedy but very clever and often hilarious. You will need to watch full episodes and from the start to truly appreciate the genius that is the show. It can be weird, creepy and very dark, it's brilliant!

There are three actors playing a range of characters. It is essentially a series of sketches but with a common thread and recurring themes running through them.

The league of gentlemen is brilliantly weird. One clip does not do the show justice. It's entire narrative accross the whole seasons of the show needs to be appreciated.

Just watched this, love the reactions bro and totally agree, i am the same with people bit more of an introvert, but yeah i have my friends too. Love the channel

The fictional northern town of Royston Vasey in which this dark comedy is set is the real name of Roy "Chubby" Brown.

The League of Gentlemen is dark comedy but well worth reacting to at least the 1st episode.

League of Gentlemen is dark, it’s all set in a fictional village - Royston Vasey, it’s sort of a sketch show with a narrative (although plenty of scenes / sketches can be standalone to varying degrees)

Delighted that you've discovered one the most original and sinister British comedies ever. And note this, kind sir, the show is much nearer to who we really are as English folk than we normally will admit. Every night is Halloween with the League of Gentlemen. Good luck discovering more about such an evil and twisted community on King Boomer's Muppet Channel.

The best series I have seen, so shocking at the time, and worth rewatching. Whole episodes are best, as it’s got some interwoven storylines though.

The scene where Mr Chinnery the local vet arrives to put down an elderly, sick dog has to be one of the most shockingly funny things I have ever seen. The League of Gentlemen is absolute genius. Dark as hell, funny as hell. "In this house we do not masturbate..."

You need to do a whole episode of IT Crowd, not just two minutes

One of the best dark comedies to come out of the U.K. The humor isn't for everyone, but I absolutely love it, big TLOG fan.

League of Gentlemen is about as dark a sitcom as you are ever going to see on TV, even on British TV. They create a remote rural village full of a plethora of deranged, sadistic and obscene characters. This village is called Royston Vaysey, (the real name of the comedian Chubby Brown), Chubby make a guest appearance late in the show as the town's Mayor.

TLOG is hedious comedy, but I love it, the local shop 😄

Moving on to the hard stuff👏👏

one of my favourite comedies of that era, with some of the best characters.

The League of Gentlemen is very dark, there is a compilation of the vet from the series that is worth watching

KB, I remember watching this as a not tiny kid and it frightened me to bloody death 😂😂 as I grew to understand the undertones I realised it was a very clever, very funny, very dark humour✌️

This might be the darkest comedy show there is, this, though funny, is quite tame :) .

Oh my. You need to find the full episodes, from the start. Dark. Twisted. Hilarious.

Oh you have a treat in store with League of Gentleman.

Classic, the vet , the frog man , the shop , try out phschoville, who is that clown , ooh it's mr jelly, cracks me up everytime

I think you'd love this show. The fictional town is called Royston Vasey, the real name of Roy Chubby Brown who you have reacted to previously and he plays the mayor in an episode lol

Love your channel mate just one thing the comedy is the It crowd as in information technology pronuced as eye tea crowd

It's a classic series, with 3 main actors playing most of the characters in a village called Royston Vasey. It is based on very dark humour, but unmissable.

The fact you latched on to the dark humour at the end I think you're going to like it, it's a brilliant show but if Shooting Stars gave you nightmares ...

It is indeed very dark, but is a brilliant observation on the idiosyncrasies of small, rural communities who dislike incomers. "This is a local shop, for local people" is one of the signature quotes of the series.

It's a whole village of characters played by just two actors.

I love this king boomer guy ..his reactions make me laugh

The League of Gentlemen "Local shop for Local people" sketches are still top of the list for me, you should watch them.

Extremely clever Dark Comedy written and played by incredible writers and actors....set about in a Town called Royston Vasey...which is Roy Chubby Browns real name..he also plays the mayor

This is my all time favourite show, I saw their live show some years ago and tell anyone to go and see them if they get the chance

This is some of the darkest comedy you will encounter - it is excellent!

One of my favourite shows!

League of Gentleman is set in the fictional village of Royston Vasey which is actually the real name of a very coarse comedian called Roy "Chubby" Brown

It's funny you mentioned that the clip was short because when I first watch League Of Gentlemen I thought it was a sketch comedy but it is in fact a sitcom.

The League of Gentlemen sketch with Pam Doove is hilarious! I think it's listed as Jedd Hunter's Commercial on YT.

It is a sketch show with pretty much all the characters played by the same three guys but the sketches are based in the same small town and storylines are weaved in to link them together. This is pretty mild stuff for League of Gentlemen but the "I didn't force her" hints at how dark it really is. There is a live version from Drury Lane (which is on RU-vid) that has a lot of the famous characters and some stuff not in the TV series.

The programme is set in the English village of Royston Vasey. Royston Vasey is the real name of the comedian Chubby Brown, who you might have reacted to. Chubby Brown appeared occasionally as the mayor of Royston Vasey. As others are saying here, League of Gentlemen is dark, daaaaaaaaaaark comedy.

"Hello Dave..." Now we are talking Mr Boomer you got to watch all these and the movie ... Dark , Sick and hilarious

Glad you found them. Dig a little deeper but hold on tight.

it gets way darker and the second series goes round in a time loop , all ending on the same moment but with different people , its brilliant

When I was working in a pub I met some people who lived in Royston Vasey. Brilliant.

Fuck yeah league of gentlemen is fuggin awesome! Dark... but awesome! I do think you should go through the episodes though.

League of Gentleman was filmed where I went to school! It’s a cult classic they even had a cafe named after the show (not sure if it’s still there)

Great show should watch it!

Glad you've found LOG. Extremely dark, extremely funny.

League of Gentleman is set in a small town called Royston Vasey which is Chubby Brown’s real name.

Another rabbit hole to go down, a brilliant dark one too, Best to watch the episodes as you need to meet the characters. also Psychoville, same actors but just as dark and funny. I hope you get to watch them.

Always loved watching League of Gentlemen, I’ve got a really dark sense of humour so it always suited me lol

Love this show

Dark British humour epitomised.

It has a story, you have to watch from the start. It's one of the best comedy shows ever

Ha! Love the League of Gentlemen. If you ever pick one of my suggestions I'll be one Happy Muppet. But love the channel anyhoo :)

All different sketches, people play different characheters but it’s ultimately a full story very dark humor though still so funny
