American Reacts to Internet Country Codes 

You didn't mention the 'waffle maker' attachment to the computer picture... 😂

6:49 It’s a classic British film from 1969 called Kes, considered a staple of working class social cinema about a boy from a northern mining village who defies the rough nature of the people and industrial landscape around him by finding a kestrel and training it.

All together now " we're off to button moon, we'll follow Mr. Spoon, button moon, button moon" I can't be the only one who now has that song going around in my head.

The ".bok .bok bok .bok bok .bok .bgaaaaark" reference is a common interpretation of a chicken "clucking" 😂

We're off to button moon, we follow Mr. Spoon, button moon.

I've ended up on a JJLA binge while working today. What a great algorithm suggestion! Subbed!

The car number plate is a Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy joke. Earth is in sector ZZ9 plural Z - alpha.

3:19 That code is in BASIC, an early programming language that many early desktop computer users learned to either write their own programs or modify existing ones. I learned this on the first personal computer I used back in the 1980s, and some programs I meticulously copied from a book of BASIC programs bought in a bookshop! Anyway, the code here is a simple example of an infinite loop (a phenomenon many BASIC users will be sadly familiar with): it will print "I am a nerd" repeatedly unless you force break the execution or switch off the computer.

The kid at about 20:44 is the main character in a famous book about a boy and his kestrel. Both the book and the kestrel were called 'Kes'. It went on to become a great movie of the same name.

The Picture of the boy is from a british film called Kes. It is a film about a boy and a Kestrel. The one on the boys arm. You should watch ir.

There's some obscure British references in their videos such as the bit at 6:30 on the top right of their video. That black and white bit used to tell regions of ITV television that a ad break was about to happen. 6:33 their logo and ident theme are in reference to ITV's Southern franchise. 6:50 as others have said is Kes, a film from the late 60's. 7:19 Yes. 7:47 As you can see Mr Spoon is from Button Moon, a kids tv show originally aired in the early 80's. 11:40 That photoshopped phone box is an old British Telecom KX phone kiosk but with an T in its logo instead of B. 15:02 That's Marvin, the paranoid android, from the tv version of Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

I have climbed Roseberry Topping. It is a hill South East of Middlesbrough - but I haven't put it on my CV.

this is actually a great example of how reaction videos can benefit creators i only started watching map men again recently since your reactions reminded me of them. (and perfect timing with this vid since i just watched the original yesterday)

The boy is from a British film called kes a cult classic ❤

You missed the waffle iron next to the 15k computer

These guys need a tv show - freaking hilarious !! love them

Good on ya for know Mick being from Simply Red (And half a point bonus for also stating Simple Minds!) Great stuff!

Absolute boss react as usual, you turned an 11 minute video into a 20 minute reaction, transformative af! I haven’t watched map men in a while but since your reactions I’ve gone back to their channel and watched a ton of videos from them because you reminded me how funny and interesting they are! And I find entertainment value in watching your reactions as well as just their video. Exactly how reactions should be!

The boy with the bird (a Kestrel) is from a British film called 'Kes'

It was so much fun watching your reaction to this! 🤗❤️🌸

I love your attention to detail and the way you research while reacting. You not only react to the video but also to the subject of the video 👍.

KES its a film based on the book kestral for a knave (photo of boy and kestral)

'Beef Butter' got me 😂

1:55 not to mention the waffle maker peripheral. The boy with the bird (kestrel, to be precise) at 6:50 is David Bradley, who played Billy Casper in the 1969 film "Kes".

Hi, Re GG for gambling sites, In the UK most gambling was on Horse Racing, Horses were referred to as GGs by/for children, going to horse racing was called going to the GGs, no idea why

Just found your channel mate. Really enjoying the videos. Never watched reaction channels before but these are all so nice to watch

Very funny..you didn't lay a 💩 on it at all. High praise! 😂

The kid at the top is a book and film named kes I had to study it for my GCSE exams. The film was filmed where I live in Barnsley and we have loads of statues around the area celebrating kes.

I knew it was TV for Tuvalu, well, it wasn’t but it is now

Thank you for video

As a Northern Irish person it was spooky how you pronounced "that's us now" (Ats us nai) spot on

Definitely watch the Map Men episode on how the Longitude Problem was solved by a watch!

Did we all miss the IBM (irratable bowel movement - i only just noticed it)

The Kid with the bird is from the film “Kes” ( short for Kestrel). It was a gritty film set in 1960s which lots of schoolchildren got taken to see in 1970s.

Don’t worry, if an AI version of your channel pops up you could always do reactions to the AI version of you reacting. 😁

Don't forget the waffle maker on top of the computer disk reader in that spoof advert. The 'kid with the bird' is a reference to a film of a book, the bird is a Kestrel, and the book's title was 'A Kestrel For a Knave' and the film was just called 'Kes', a very British tale that was a great favourite at the time - 1970s

7:24 nailed it! 🤣👍

.nu was popular in Sweden for a short while. It became regarded as a bit tacky in the early/mid 2000s

I have loved Map Men for years, but I think I prefer watching you react to their videos as you take time to deconstruct the large number of jokes that run past me when I usually watch their videos.

If anyone knows what Nominative determinism (which is when a name matches a job. eg John Baker grows upto be a baker). Postel was destined create the "internet postcode"

Can you please react to so Irish stuff? As a Norwegian living in Ireland 20+ years, I really enjoy seeing other outsider perspectives of Irish slang, culture etc. I've had American friends visit and they've loved it. It's just across the pond from England so why not??

7:18, spot on!

take a look at roseberry topping (Mountain Newton-Under-Roseberry, Scarborough YO13 0NE ) national trust land.

Kes always makes me cry 😢

Mr. Spoon was part of a kids show called button moon :)

"Ats us nai!" is a clichéd phrase that people associate with us in N Ireland. Indeed "that's us now", which is something you might say when finally relaxing in front of a pint of beer or cup of tea after a hard day's work. Like an exhalation of relief, if you will.

Back in the early '80s, computers didn't come with graphical desktops (asking a bit too much of the primitive hardware). Rather they'd come with the BASIC programming language. You'd turn on the machine and then the BASIC prompt - famously "ready" on Commodore machines to tell you that the computer was ready to accept new commands - would appear and you'd type simple commands. For example, you'd type LOAD to load programs from your tape player or disk drive. RUN to execute the loaded program. And so forth. But it was a programming language, so you can actually create programs with it as well. You did this by supplying a number - such as the "10" or "20" in the example BASIC code in the video - which specified the order in which instructions should be executed. So "10 PRINT", followed by some message, would print these characters to the screen and then "20 GOTO 10" would tell the machine to return to line 10 again and execute it. Then it'd execute line 20, which returns to line 10. And this would go on forever. So kids back in the '80s would remember this pattern and go to their local computer store, where there were demonstration machines, then type something like: 10 PRINT "THIS COMPUTER STORE SUCKS" 20 GOTO 10 Which would result in "THIS COMPUTER STORE SUCKS" streaming down the screen forever. In reality, I'm being polite, the messages that kids would have streaming down the screen would typically be more controversial in their language than merely suggesting the computer store sucked. This was a hilarious prank enjoyed by all. Even those who had no idea how to code in BASIC would learn this pattern, just so they could print offensive messages streaming down the screen of any demonstration computer they encountered. Such as shops or every machine in the school computer lab. If you're wondering why I'm typing all the commands in UPPERCASE LETTERS, this is because these early machines were so primitive that they often couldn't actually show both upper case and lower case letters simultaneously. Microsoft got their start making BASIC interpreters, by the way. They sold "Microsoft BASIC" to these computer manufacturers to supply with their machines.

14:55 it's also the extension of sega game gear's rom files

You are the best ❤❤❤

I went ahead and subscribed but tbh I prefer your reactions and how you do all the pausing to read the jokes because I'm lazy lol

would love to see your reaction to some famous british tv comedy shows like fawlty towers or only fools and horses / open all hrs / porridge etc etc,

I love button moon

Why do people say the answer is 42? The number 42 is especially significant to fans of science fiction novelist Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,” because that number is the answer given by a supercomputer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Lewis Carroll, who was a mathematician, made repeated use of this number in his writings. Level 42 is an English pop/rock/funk music band. Level 42 features in a Dr Who story, Douglas Adams wrote some stories for Dr Who.

Were off to button moon,we,ll follow mr.moon,button moon,button moon 😊

Would love to see JJ try some other humorous educational channels, like BIll Wurtz or CGP Grey.

"CV" is short for Latin "curriculum vitae". Which means "course of life". Which is what CVs are all about, of course, mapping the course of your life for prospective employers to see who you are and what you've done. America went French with "Résumé". Brits went Latin with "Curriculum vitae". Neither of us bothered coming up with our own word for it. Typical.

Kes. Classic film is the boy with the kestrel.

Kes,british classic film ❤

I'm surprised the US doesn't use .us more. It seems to be the law that if it doesn't move you stick a US flag on it, or kick it until it moves, and then stick a US flag on it. It seems very short sighted to not stick .us on every website as kids wont necessarily see the flag whilst glued to their screen and may forget which country they're in.

Have you done the Unfinished London series on the m25 or London airports?

You should have tried a couple of those URLs, even more jokes :D

misses waffle maker attachment to PC ( I could not work out the specific significance of that)

the roseberry topping joke is funny to anyone from teeside....or northumbria

❤❤❤ simply red ❤

John postel to me looks like a cult leader lol

14.20 Bodge It = British slag for a job done quickly at low cost, low quality bit janky... Bodgers were itinerant craftsmen who produced turned chair legs on hand operated turning machines for the local furniture industry. The wood they used was often 'green' (not seasoned) so would distort as they dried. As a result they could only be used on the cheapest chairs and stools. Hence, a bodged job.

❤

CV = Curriculum Vitae. Look it up 🙂

I’m surprised they didn’t mention .io

at 15:25 did we just witness an AI realise it's an AI, and become self aware?

I so wanted a ICAAN vs UKHANT joke

is no one talking about he’s from the yt channel Your Daily Dose of Internet

i thought jjla was a cyborg?

Eurgh means 'eww' in American.

The chances are that the binary scrolling code says something

Bok bok bok bgaaark! 🐔 🐔 🐔

I love you darling but you always look so worried. Love to you from Glasgow.
