Peter Kay - School Reunions REACTION 

He has a Bolton accent (North West England). Paddy McGuiness that he referenced is another TV personality that he did actually go to school with and later made a comedy TV show with (Phoenix Nights, about a typical old school working man's club in Bolton and a spin-off show called Max and Paddy based around the adventures of the two doormen from the club - both hilarious).

It's funny how all those things are so universal. I grew up in Poland and can relate to most of the things he said.

I am 88 years of age, and I have seen almost every one of Peter Kay`s routines, but watching this couple as THEY view his shows, is almost like I am seeing them for the first time. Living in the USA they probably had no idea who Peter Kay was, but their reactions to his comedy is wonderful to see. I know that there are people who will never "Get" his humour, but this couple shows that if it is funny it will surmount the boundaries between different countries and cultures. Well Done to you both.

He’s from Bolton. My mum lives in Bolton, Lancashire. I was brought up in Leigh, about 8 miles away. The guy is just a bloody treasure.

Peter is from Bolton, Lancashire, North West England. I'm from just outside Bolton and yet I speak totally differently. Accents change conpletely in the UK if you drive 20 minutes down the road

10:20 Paddy McGuiness is one of his best friends and acting Partner. He has acted with Peter in Phoenix nights, Max & Paddy and presented ‘Take Me Out’. They have been mates since primary school.

The reason why Peter Kay is so funny, is that, in reality, you are all laughing at yourselves, as you've been there, done that. Peter Kay is, in my opinion, a very clever man who watches people and has a damn good memory

I remember the sawdust buckets at school. The funniest school nativity play I saw involved a kid projectile-vomiting through the mouth hole of his paper donkey mask. He went off, out came the sawdust and the show went on.

He's from Bolton, north west England UK Lollipop lady = USA crossing guard. They have a round stop sign (for the traffic) on a pole. It looks like a giant lollipop

I'd forgotten how funny Peter Kay was, yet he keeps it going constantly ur scared to laugh as u might miss a joke. He's from Bolton 😂

10:11 in primary school it was thick table. In high school it was thick class. So set ones where your clever people, set 6 or 7 in our school where classed as the thick classes.

Paddy McGuiness is his mate who was in his TV shows with him (phoenix nights, max and paddy).

It's great to have a reaction to this from two actual teachers and to hear your take on it. Sounds like nothing has actually changed that much from when I was at school (the 70s).

Love the England cricket cap.

Peter Kay was born and bred in Farnworth an area in Bolton, in the county of Lancashire, which is in the Northwest of England.

As a Brit living in San Francisco, school reunions are foreign to me. We were happy to leave school and start Zuni. Please watch Peter Kay and misheard lyrics. Your lives will never be the same.

Well done guys - a noble effort at getting to grips with a Bolton accent. Great reaction.

Paddy McGuinness is his best friend. He's acted with him in shows like Phoenix Nights and Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere... They're definitely worth reacting to.

He is from Bolton which is north west England, I live just a few miles from Bolton so the accent is easy for me to understand, but some people here who live a bit further south struggle with the accent so you are doing quite well, live your reactions x

His accent is Lancastrian, a northern county in England. I literally grew up from the town up the road (Darwen).He is an amazing comedian and back on tour, but also look up his TV work, Phoenix Nights (with the unforgettable line 'it's inflatable filth, that's what it is! '), Max and Paddy, Car Share and That Peter Kay Thing.

I love that you have an England cricket cap on. This is my favourite cap!

Next time the sawdust comes out, you know you're gonna be giggling 🤭 🤣

The first plastic rulers did shatter. They became stabbing weapons to some kids. Thankfully they improved and bent instead of shattering.

Nick, how long have you had that England cap? It really suits you.

I remember them bringing in those plastic shatterproof rulers, before we had wooden ones.

Try and find one of his sitcoms called " Car Share " - he's a very good comedy actor as well ! Car share is about a guy and a lass who share the same car to commute to work - excellent ! Also if you want a real laugh, find the car share out-takes - hillarious. I promise you.

Hey dude - I love your Star Wars / TBBT t-shirt.

Phoenix nights is an must watch

Loved this one...watching you laugh is so good.

He's a Lancashire lad, from Bolton.

Peters from Bolton, Northern England

Hes from my home town " Bolton " which is close to Manchester

"Shouting the odds" I don't really know that one either, and I'm from just down the road from Pater Kay. Some phrases are very colloquial.

That's one of the best I've seen 😂😂😂 You 2 watching anything to do with teaching 😅 All teachers use to say. What are you, a comedian

Bolton ,Lancashire is the accent - my wife has the same accent . When my wife goes to visit her home town - her relatives say - Oooh you can tell you live in Manchester now - you're talking posh - believe me a Manchester accent isn't posh - we just talk slightly faster !

I’m from Bolton and he makes us proud the lad! Him and paddy are class

Although Bolton (where Peter comes from) is technically part of the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester, most older people will still say it's in Lancashire and I agree with them :D

He's from a town called Bolton, in north England.

Paddy McGuinness is his friend and a TV presenter over here in the UK. They grew up together. He takes a lot of friendly shots at him during his stand ups. I went to see Peter Kay a little while back at the 02 in London and he made fun of Paddy several times because he was in the audience. Absolute comedy gold. I love that you guys across the pond are learning about Peter Kay. If you get the chance check out Sean Lock on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown and also Mickey Flanagan (he's what's known as a proper cockney over here so he might be a bit tricky to understand but believe me he's actually speaking English)

Paddy is one of Peters best mates and starred with him in the Max and Paddy series, usually playing bouncers / coolers on the door at the club. Check out Max and Paddy in Prison it's hilarious. All the best from Shropshire.

I went to an all boys private half boarding school in Australia so most of us were fairly close. In my 30s I've got a dozen mates around the world that we're all in a group chat. That being said the 10 year reunion was just real estate agents exchanging cards. I think the 20th is up next year but I won't be upset if I miss it. I keep in touch with the people I want to.

Paddy McGuiness is another funny man that is a life long friend of Peter Kays

His ascent is north of England,,,, Yorkshire,,,,,, but all the nuns were Irish.

I'm from Bolton and he's the greatest comedian ever lived

Peter comes from Bolton, Lancashire, its in the north of England Near Manchester.

Bolton accent, my home town

He’s from Lancashire in the North of England, just North of Manchester.

I have done 3 school reunions, the first was the best as it was open to present students and former students , the reason for this was we where celebrating the 550th anniversary of its founding , so there where people from 11 to 90 + there It was founded in 1440 by 3 wealthy men off the back of the wool trade , which would have made one of them an extremely wealth man he even paid towards the building of the church The original 1440 building was extended on and is now private houses so the school is now a modern building in a different part of the town The first team football pitch had a marquee on it where they served a 3 corse meal , the sports hall had a Jamaican steel band , the theatre had a disco and the main hall had a live band They made some classrooms into meeting rooms so we could catch up with old friends and where allowed to visit our classrooms ( everything seamed so small ) We where encouraged to dress up , so a lot of us did DJs and the ladies in ball gowns and cocktail dresses , fabulous night The other 2 big ones where smaller and 2 yrs apart , we have occasionally had reunions since but they tent to be in a local pub 😊

Bolton just outside Manchester is his hometown

Hi to you both from Sheffield Yorkshire England

The wedding one is great

could we have more Peter Kay " Guess Who died "

Yeah. 🇺🇸 cricket fan 😊

hi guys great reaction this is a true story about the shatter proof rulers, it also fit in with the sun on the watch. i can confess it was a true story because this was me it happened to. This was around 1973-74, cant rember what year i was in, Anyway, shatterproof rulers were a thing in them days, i have not idea why, maybe they wuld not break in your bag, they started coming out in many clolours and designs, I had one that had a maze on it, small silver ball, you had to get from start to finish. I was sitting next to window sun was out, realised i could direct the sun from my ruler in to the teachers eyes, He got upset figured out it was me, came to my table to take my ruler of me He was saying give me the ruler, every time i went to hand to him, i pulled the ruler away, after the 4th time pulling the ruler away, he got a grip of it, and struck me over my face with it, hitting just above my eyebrow, causing a 2 inch cut, also the ruler shatter, so it was not shatter proof. i started bleeding badly into my eyes. i was told to go see the nurse. The nurse was not in school, but up the other school, which we had on site, for the handicaped, mental health, downs syndrome that sort of school. i was told the nurse was up there, so i walked up there, blood running down my face, but the nature of the school, all doors were locked, no intercom in them days, so i started walking round the school looking for and open door looking in windows. You can now imagine, people with mental health, im bleeding all ove my face, banging on windows, these students freaked out, was like a horro film to them, alot of screaming and crying. people going to asked what happened to teacher, well nothing, in them days it was your fault, swept under the rug, i went home my parents asked what happened, meeting with the head teacher, nothing happened, my father was the manager, of the biggest furniture factory in the town and supplied the school free of charge all the wood for the wood work classes., he stopped that, 3 weeks later another meeting it was sorted, ball in my caught now, i sat and did nothing for a year and got all A's True story

Phoenix nights 😂👍

I left school in 1974 and went to one school reunion. Only remembered 1 teacher and 2 old school friends

He is from Bolton.

He is from Bolton. That was originally in Lancashire, But now i believe the boundary's have changed and comes under Manchester. Not Lancastrian has someone has stated in the comments. Its only 20 miles or so from me. Although Darwin near Blackburn is also close, But north of Bolton

Great reaction. I suppose you can relate.

Paddy McGuinness is a fellow comedian from Bolton, also of Irish descent

Peter Kay is from Bolton in Lancashire North West of England 🇬🇧 I'm actually from the same town as him and we have a very broad accent

To all of the misinformed people who think Bolton is "in" Manchester, listen folks, Manchester is backwards, but at least they don't pronounce "Look, Book, Cook, etc" to rhyme with "Luke"!

Je is from Bolton. A town near manchester

"Shouting the odds" - just means being loud/making a fuss

Peter Kay's mum is Irish, and the nuns he quotes, are all generally Irish.

Lancashire accent that’s what he has

he is from Bolton, England

He’s from Bolton in England.

Peter Kay is from Bolton Manchester

Yep Bolton

Still love you guys.😂❤

The odds reference is to odd numbers as opposed to even numbers

Peter Kay is from Bolton Lancashire uk

Peter Kay has a northern English accent. He's from the Manchester area.

A lot of Brits have watched so much American films and TV shows that we're kinda bilingual. You'd have to go back to 80s references before it would throw us. And since American film is so prolific compared to every other country in the world (except perhaps the French), I bet a lot of other countries are familiar with Americanisms and American culture too.

Paddy maguiness is his TV partner, max and paddy's Road to nowhere

His accent is from Bolton , North Manchester in the North West of England

Bolton accent. north west UK it’s a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester.

Do you ever use the captions/subtitles to help you understand the British accents ?
