American Reacts to Still Game Hoaliday 

EB is right when isa finds out Winston won't have a leg to stand on 😂👍

The guy in the lift is Greg's brother in real life

Not just a comedy series.. but sometimes its really heart felt... very underrated episode.

😝😃😅🤣…The reason Navid was laughing so hard and found the secksual reference with his arms is that in Scotland “Pie” is sometimes a substitute word for a lady’s “ Valley of delights “… 😅 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I have seen every episode of this show so many times but you find little things that i honestly never thought about before. It really is like watching them all for the first time all over again.

Hurrah he's back with.....Still Game......good on you Beard sir, always a treat!

Glad you got to this episode EB! Bloody love this one. I like that it has all the classic Still Game traits heartwarming, touching moments with all the great comedy still placed around it! Boaby the barman cracks me up every time with the "You're safe!" & "Godspeed Jack, Godspeed!" 🤭🤣

Ironically, in real life Victor (Greg Hemphill), was brought up in Canada, and still has a Canadian accent, I assume that inspired these episodes).

The tower they went up is the CN Tower in Toronto, and is right next to the Blue Jays stadium. Seattle has the Space Needle, but it's not as tall as that

Yess brother still game holiday is a great episode

Jack reminds me of my mother when we flew to Canada and went up the CN Tower she was glued to the wall 😂

The lift (elevator) operator is Greg Hemphill's (Victor) brother!

Hello from Scotland! Loving the new background sir!!

Oh ho, wonderful reaction once again to this timeless show! It's always a joy reliving these classic episodes seeing someone appreciating them for the first time. Adds an extra dimension to the rewatches. :) Love the bit where the janitor catches Jack and Victor out, lying about grand Firhill is. Firhill is the home ground of Partick Thistle, a football team in Glasgow. I went there a couple of times as a kid, it's definitely nothing to write home about. 😂 It is a superb episode, but most of the episodes in the first 6 series are golden, it has to be said.

Poignant is the word you are looking for in summary. Thanks for uploading these.

The list attendant up the tower is Stephen Hempill, Victor's real life brother.

I love this series , always worth a watch , Hope you are well my Friend .

Background? I thought that was your window! 😂

I love your love for Still Game - and how you understand us! 😂😂❤️

I grew up on this show and have always loved it, however I have a new found appreciation for it after watching your reactions ❤

Just found out the other week that the tour guide in the lift is the guy who plays Victor’s brother.

I remember when I watched this for the first time (not that very long ago, few years maybe) and thought the same as your comment. To my mind that was the best episode to date. It just encapsulated so much and really was so very touching. It's not a blip though, imo this show kept on improving and keeping the level all the way. Pretty rare.

I laughed out loud when Isa hit Winston on the head

Ye never disappoint us with your reactions to this Al, I laughed my ass off when I watched this year's ago but now I do the very same watching ur reactions.😂 Its a rollercoaster watching this when ur invested so deeply with the characters and it's a pleasure travelling it with u mate.👍

Oh my word we took that trip to the top and the glass floor……..oh my, it took me a while to walk on it 😳 the floor played with my mind 😳🤣🤣

Glad you are reacting to Still Game, For me what makes it the best ever Comedy ,is every character has funny lines not just the 2 main characters ,and the acting is just superb

Glad to see you still enjoying this. Do you have a post box? I could send you some Scottish treats if you have.

Good to see you back stranger,you never told me you're favourite football team.

Welcome back been waiting for this love to see ur reaction to still game its like getting to watch it over again to

This is definitely one of the best episodes, and considering how good this show is, that’s saying something

Love your reactions, you make me laugh more than what your reacting to.😂

At 26.30 if u watch the drink behind Winston it changes fae buckfast and irn bru to buckfast and mad dog fun fact loving the reactions cheers man

You really get this show and it’s good to see!

Little known fact that Greg Hemphill (victor) is putting on a Scottish accent as he's Canadian (and does an amazing job) and the guy who plays the lift attendant in this episode is his brother.

If it was the lady on the glass it wasn't blurred here in Scotland!! Like an old Tennent's can!! 😂😂😂

I remember getting a Samsung p500 like Boaby's 😁great reaction cheers.

Nice backdrop. I don't know about going to Canada but my flight took 5 hours to get to america and 8 hours to get back to England.

Yes!! Series 3 is my favorite

One of my top ten favourite episodes

Priceless. Thanks for it Alan, the masterpieces keep on coming from that team. Be well.😉

I love Winston in this one, nice comeuppance 😂

The stage play is about him getting ready to move to Canada for good

Good back ground and reaction

Good to hear that Americans get the Scottish humour. As Billy connelly says, Scots and Americans swear properly. This is life in Scotland, really, our humour is 2nd to none.

Greg hemphill although Scottish born was brought up in Montreal Canada hence his strange accent.

Con confirm Firhill IS twice the size of that stadium /s

daaaamn where you been, i was getting worried

Still with you Al , keep going man!

Great to see u back with another Still Game. Even though I’ve seen them many times your infectious laugh always gets me 😂😂😂

What they've said already - top stuff.

Welcome back oh Bearded one😊

A lot of people didn't like this episode when it first aired, complaining that it wasn't as funny as the first series, but they kinda missed the point. In the 60's and 70's tens of thousands of Scots moved to Canada, Australia and America, in search of a new life, one that was bound to be better than the grim reality of post war Britain. Some made a great success of it, like my Uncle James, some didn't. The ones that stayed hoped that there would be a boom in the economy as there would be huge gaps in the job market, but then the coal mines, steelworks and shipyards began to close, and the realisation set in. They should have left when they had the chance. That's what Jack was talking about. They were all ready to go, but, like so many others, they backed out if it, the fear of the unknown being too great to get over. He missed his opportunity and it was too late for him to try again, but seeing his daughter thrive made him happy to see that somebody had the courage to do what he couldn't. He knew that by refusing to move out there meant that he would likely never see her again, and she understood that, but they accepted that their lives had taken different paths and that was the natural way of it. The warmth and humanity in these episodes is what kept us watching for years, and it's good that you're picking up on in too. Yes, they might rip on one another and take every chance to laugh at and make fun of their best friends, but when it comes down to it, they have a deep and abiding love for one another. That's what makes the show special.

Couldn't pay me enough to go up there! Im wi Jack 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Recommendation - *A Playground Like No Other (2022)* narrated by *Sean Bean* and created by *Scott and Sid* from *Bradford.* It's a 15 minute promotional documentary highlighting the historic county of *Yorkshire* aka God's Own Country.

Greg was born in Scotland but brought up in Canada

Greg Hemphill's (Victor) actual brother as the tour guide in the CN Tower (Greg soent his younger years growing up in Canada,and a lot of his family still live out there, including his brother, but Greg returned to Scotland to live in his 20's).

I'VE BEEN TO TOP OF TWIN TOWERS IN NY IN 1981.....AND SQUAW PEAK, CA AND YOU CAN SEE THE CURVATURE OF THE EARTH AT THAT HEIGHT...NY 105 STORIES

You can occasionally hear the actor who plays Victor (Greg Hemphill) slip back into his real life Canadian accent in this episode. He was born in Glasgow but raised in Quebec, then came back to Scotland when he was about 20. Try to find an interview with him and you'll hear his lovely hybrid accent. ❤

You seem to have a good healthy appreciation for this show. It is not only very funny, but has some good serious moments too. There's a few British sit-coms like this, such as Only Fools & Horses which tackles somre serious subjects at times. I think it's part of how Brit comedy separates itself from US Comedy. And the new background is great !!

Poor kids have to share a burger. 😂

One of my favourite episodes. Another I look forward to you seeing is "hatch". Its hilarious

Sorry I missed your mail call earlier Alan I was busy hope you loved the whisky… I did watch it a few hours later & im glad still game got through & I loved your reactions to the boys in Canada…can’t wait to see your new stuff but I’m also glad to see still game & Derry girls & porrige & rising damp & im also sorry at viewing figures I try my best to watch my favourite stuff more than once (not doctor who) sorry

Thanks Beard, love the new apace age background. Stay safe buddy.

The new background is quality. Great reaction as always.👍

Two comedy shows that are similar that you might find interesting are Citizen Khan, following a Pakistani family living in Birmingham, and Give My Head Peace, following the Nationalist and Unionist ongoings in Belfast. The latter is more political at times so maybe not worth it for a RU-vid react, but it's managed to riff on both sides of the spectrum so it's fairly popular 😅.

I just love this it's just brilliant👌😂😂😂❤

I would not be going to the top of that Tower! No chance!!

At the start at the airport Victor says he nearly shat (Scottish way of saying shit) himself. Backdrop canny right enough by the way man 👍

In one episode there is a homeless guy living in the lift. That is Kevin Bridges

One thing that’s always baffled me is how victor holds that sandwich 😂😂 it’s the weirdest thing ever

Interesting fact. The lift operator/guide is victors real life brother. (They are both Scottish/canadian)

When a scot meat a Canadian. ❤ it humour is laughter

I love that you love this show.

The music whilst dancing in the shop is different

The guy who plays Victor is actually Canadian in real life

I like the new background, does it have a name or is it just a random jpeg you scooped from the net?

This is so funny. Don't know if you've seen Eddie Hall at Karen's diner omg so funny.

I prefer the new background 👍

I wonder if he knows that all the main characters are young and playing old people 😂

It really is one of the best programmes ever written, now then we done need to speak about you getting into The League of Gentlemen ep2❤😂

Your going to be very sad at the last episode, great show.

Cool background

The next few seasons are even better, the last ones are different but still brilliant. There is christmas and hogmanay specials as well but need to watch which one or there will be spoilers

BACKGROUND NICE...ARE YOU IN NY???

Series 3 when it gets funny.😀👍

Wedding dress and wedding suit

Such a brilliant show.

the show does have a tin bit of nudity in it but there was nudity in the episode Winston and Tam were fighting over the librarian you didn't seem to notice

Gaun yersel' EB, y'mad dobber ye!

9 days what's gonna on

Lol, Firrhill is Partick Thistle's ground. it holds 10,000. It's not the worst stadium in the league.

That is a lovely view from your house Storage issue with computer? Just curious what issue had

I would be Jack I can't walk across the clyde bridge need to walk at the roadside

beardy! 💙

💜👍💜👍

It's a cultural thing too, mean in the UK life is alot rougher than most parts of the US and especially Canada. Yes you've got crime in America but nowhere near as bad at times as here going back decades. Plus you've got that football hooliganism here where after a small argument the whole town decends into mayhem lol. Like when I was at school another school lads from it said we'll fight your school. So we turned up all 30 of us with knives, knuckle dusters and bats. The other kids ran away, that's the UK for ya in a nutshell 😂

👍💜👍👍💜👍

You’ll be fluent in Scottish in no time.

Missing shameless 😪😅
