AMERICAN REACTS TO MOST ICONIC BRITISH TV MOMENTS | AMANDA RAE 

Glad you like them! :)

Terrible isn’t it

I hadn't heard about this, a great loss, loved him on both Cats shows

I was sad to learn the news.... He was well funny. Kx

I hope Amanda will watch some of Sean Lock's classics.

Shocked he's passed 😢

Nice comment, Amanda. Sean Lock was brilliant and will be sadly missed. I never got to see him because he had a minor car accident while driving to the gig I was going to. He was fine but a little shaken up, apparently. A few years ago now. I had no idea he was even poorly so it was a bit of a shock seeing the headlines this evening.

Carrot in a Box is masterful. I've lost count the number of times I've seen it, yet it's still hilariously funny each time.

🤣😊

🤣😊 hope you’re well

Hah snort!

​@@LADYRAEUKLove your snort😂

None of these are what I'd call iconic, let alone the MOST iconic. Iconic moments in British tv include Morecambe and Wise with Andre Previn, the end of the final episode of Blakes 7, BBC News interrupting the snooker to bring the nation live coverage of the SAS assault on the Iranian Embassy and so on.

@@anhistorian7255 but then maybe we are just not up to date with 2021 television 😂

No handles for forks....😆❤️

@@julianaylor4351 not quite….more like “no…..’andles…..for forks”………tho I preferred “ose”……….”no, ‘OSE”…….”mon repOse”

I’ll have to check him out

You need to check out Spike in general but that speech... oh yes. Peak Spike would have been Q or, even better, in my opinion, The Goon Show. The Goon Show was mostly on the radio but you'll find loads in podcast form or many on RU-vid. It is no understatement to say that without The Goon Show there would have been no Monty Python or any of the surrealism that followed. Spike Milligan at the top of his game, Peter Sellers before he became a global megastar (and funnier than he was in film), Harry Seacombe who could have been an opera singer but also had the face and body to be a great leading man... on the radio. Just stunning work. Lots of other radio comedies from the time were okay too, Round the Horne had some great bits from Jon Pertwee, for example.

Thank you 😊

Instead of picking apart the meaning of her definition of iconic than to your moronic definition of iconic just enjoy the video for what it is. An American with an English sense of humour . RANT OVER

@@neilperry2224 Are you from Swansea?

@@wearetomorrowspast.5617 no John I'm from across the border, the Midlands .

The guy who asked that question was Bradley Walsh

And Tim's brother, Jeremy presents a bloody awful show on Radio 2 where it becomes clear that there is a large proportion of the Radio 2 audience I'd really not like to meet. I'm pretty sure I was there when Tim broke the record, a charity gig organised by Wil Hodgson.

Oh and that clip isn't a patch on Fanny schmeller

I believe that's been broken now.

@@matthill3293 a guy did do more jokes, but he used prompt cards. so Tim still holds the record.

That’s a great idea 😊

Carrot in a box! 👌

I love his Lockipedia DVD, there were some clips of it here on RU-vid, including the famous "wrong number call" skit which always cracks me up. 😂

And every single answer they give is wrong. Despite what pretty much every UK source claims him being called Willi Wakker, the correct German name is actually Willi Wacker.

🤣

😊👍🏻

@@LADYRAEUK she committed suicide by slashing her throat

@@charliegeorge9393 People will think you're joking, but yes..she did commit suicide

Four Candles....

Robert Webb & the Banana dance, Fawlty Towers, Don't Tell him Pike.

Are we the baddies by Mitchell and Webb. Class from That was the week that was. Kinda lingers from Not the 9 o'clock news. Billy Connolly in drag on the Kenny Everett show. Cows near and far, plus escape from the women's lingerie section from Father Ted. Del Boy playing it cool with Trig. The remake of 4 candles: the greengrocer sketch (the one Ronnie, "my BlackBerry won't boot up"). Tub of lard, and Brian Blessed, have I got news for you. If you can find it Brian Blessed talking about his North Pole trip (punching a Polar Bear, having a Russian submarine captain shouting "Gordon's Alive". Over the top, Blackadder goes fourth. Tom Baker "tis a woman's purse" Blackadder.

to me, 'iconic' means a moment in TV history that has resonated and is memorable for the right reasons, like when the tv audience watched England win the world cup in 66, or the final scene of Black Adder Goes Fourth, not these moments involving celebrity panels, game shows or wannabe pop stars

@@synaesthesia2010 Nasty Nick in big brother

@@Frank75288 Nope. Who is that and why should I care? :/ "Iconic" to me means everyone knows about it - it's part of the culture and replayed constantly, even if you never watched the show. You know it for 'that bit'. Everyone knows of the Parrot sketch even if they never watched Monty Python's Flying Circus.

@@StockportJambo it all depends on what you mean with iconic, I agree. But also on what you mean with everybody. As a Belgian, the England 66 win isn’t iconic, we don’t care. The parrot sketch isn’t well known either. But that’s more an age issue I’m afraid, as monthly python isn’t that known by the youth at least not here. These clips went viral worldwide when they occurred, that doesn’t mean they’re better or funnier and definitely not more iconic for British people, but these are probably better known worldwide, as they’re more recent and were shared on social media. If you ask me, carrot in a box or the four candles sketch are iconic British tv, but that’s for what I’ve seen of British tv.

I think you mean trigger not rodney

That’s a great idea 😊👍🏻

Thank you!

You're very welcome, one ICONIC moment was that it featured the first Lesbian kiss on a primetime soap, which for the 80's was quite SOMETHING!!!.

😂😂

I’ll check it out 👍🏻

Haha I’ll have a look 😊

@@LADYRAEUK I had to correct the spelling of her surname.

Thank you 😊

@@LADYRAEUK I don't too far from you. Kings lynn. About an hour and 45 minutes from Essex.

@@LADYRAEUK your snort laugh is so cute, I love it.

@@davidstarling5205 Jesus mate that's a bit weird

Thank you 😊

👍🏻😊

I'm surprised a certain German skier wasn't on that , I was actually watching and it's never to be forgotten .

😂

I’ll see what I can find 😊👍🏻

Yes, in a most horrific way too.

If the panel that judged her had been working as crash test dummies rather than in the music industry, nothing of value would have been lost. I got what she was trying to do, it should have been obvious to anyone, and while it was a bad audition piece for the show (it shows technical ability, rather than an ability to engage an audience emotionally), it deserved more respect than the sneering faeces in human form gave it.

@@CaptLoquaLacon C'mon, dude; she set herself up to fail with the rude attitude she showed to the judges the second she walked into that room.

@@TheThird1977 Yet they made themselves look ignorant in the process. She didn't come across as likeable, no, but their failure to understand what was going on is much bigger indictment on them. The whole "lets get clips of people humiliating themselves to sell adverts around' nature of the audition process was disgusting anyway...

​@@CaptLoquaLacon I'm pretty sure they knew exactly what she was doing and that what she was doing isn't what they were looking for. "Didn't come across as likeable" is putting it mildly. She was rude, obnoxious, belittling Cheryl for being a pop singer, etc. You don't have to like the judges (they can be utter arseholes), but they are not the ones at fault with this audition.

Thanks so much for the suggestions :) I really appreciate it

🤣🤣

Great idea 😊👍🏻

Sean Locke nazi Island or rectum of the year! A comedic legend that I already miss🥲

Any suggestions? 😊

@@LADYRAEUK David Attenborough's programmes for a start. Also loads of excellent documentaries

@@LADYRAEUK I don't know how many of them would work without context. There were moments in the old Robin Of Sherwood series that redefined the way the story was told (most versions since have included a Saracen in the merry men), but they don't work in clip form. The first lesbian kiss in Brookside is historic, the first million pound winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is maybe less memorable than the bits that Chris Tarrant did which were copied worldwide... Drop The Dead Donkey was a remarkable show in that they shot I think up to the day before transmission so the characters in newsroom could make topical references, but how do you explain a joke in a clip that referred to a small story from 25 years ago +? Sadly, what you get with these 'iconic' videos is a lot of car crash clickbait. The best way to react to iconic TV would be to watch a whole episode and then give thoughts about what worked well or not, but editing those is a whole load of faff I'd imagine and much less immediate. With that said, there might be a good set of clips about Damien Day from Drop The Dead Donkey - his running gags were generally about unethical things he did to get a better shot in his news reports. Sadly I've only found isolated scenes rather than a collection of them

I really enjoying making videos so thank you, I really appreciate that. 😊

Mate settle down she's taken 😂

Brilliant 🤣

Fanny Chmelar!

So many people have commented and agreed with you :)

That last scene from "Blackadder goes forth" had tears running down my cheeks.! So sad and poignant. And this from an ex-squaddie.

@@LADYRAEUK but to back you up, these are YOUR iconic moments on TV and not you're keyboard critics who can't sit in front of a camera, or in front of a crowd of their peers and screw up. Now that would be iconic, tear streaming down my cheeks moment.

@@davidpage4005 I agree the piano playing the Blackadder theme like a dirge and the fade to the poppy fields and the sound of the bird chirping brings me to tears as well. Stay strong from an ex engineer.

Thank you 😊

Same to you Neil!

Thank you 😊

Thanks very much😊

Haha I’m glad you finally caved 🤣 Hope you’re having a lovely week!😊

🤣👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you 😊

Yep! 😊👍🏻

thanks for the suggestion! :)

Lol! I’ll check it out😊

Like Fanny Schmeller

@@luvstellauk 😂

I agree - lots of hilarious moments in Only Fools. I think there is a top 10 or 20 best Only Fools moments somewhere on YT. And we all know how iconic this sitcom was

🤣🤣🤣🤣

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

🤣👍🏻

@@LADYRAEUK it’s just so British

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Hahah that’s so true

That’s a great idea 😊👍🏻

@@LADYRAEUK Especially the Fanny Schmeller one.
