Peter Kay is a treasure. His jokes are based around Northern working class family experiences usually from a few decades back. I hope that younger folk, Southerners and other folks around the world can catch the accent, understand the dialect and relate to the experiences because he's soooooooo funny and his humour is absolutely good-hearted, everybody should be able to access it.
Agreed. I’m in Wales, very similar background growing up and get the humour completely. Sometimes it’s as if I’m there with him, he’s describing my memories that well!
He is my all time favourite comedian. No-one touches or comes even comes close to him. I watched this concert on DVD and this part of his show literally had me laughing so hard that I began to struggle with breathing. I had to leave the room and go into my garden to try and calm my breathing, but I kept thinking of the thick table and the laughing started again. It took me a good 20 minutes to gather myself and return to watch the remainder of the DVD. I can say without any doubt, that Peter Kay is thee best comedian to grace our screens and concert stadiums. The range of characters he has created and sitcoms are just pure magic.
We need him to come back and help us all laugh about bloody covid and face masks and hand sanitisers... come on Peter... "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU" !!!!!
@@lennywebb6740 I am a lot older but I'll never forget the nuns at our school in Leeds either One of them was nice but the other one only ever happy when dishing out the cane
Peter Kay has about 4 hours of material and he has been recycling it constantly since 1999. Do you remember Spangles, what were all that about? Peter Kay is comedy for people that aren't really into comedy. Who remembers Opal Fruits. They're Starburst now. What were all that about?
Peter’s gift of laughter has no end. His genius is amazing. Putting together an endless steam of experiences that we’ve mostly all done, and highlighting the right mental side of them, one after the other. 😎👍
Great, Peter Kay NEVER disappoints!!! "I love Teachers with Amnesia"! Every moment makes my sides hurt with laughing!! Needed this...great Medicine for the Soul...Thanks Mr Kay...Best Wishes from Germany!! 😁😁😁😁😁
I remember a kid being told by the teacher once - "Stop muttering." He replied, "I wasn't muttering, I was talking." Teacher, "Don't argue with me." Kid, "What's the matter - can't you tell the difference between talk and mutter?" And this was at the time of the Stork margerine advert where the line was, "You can't tell the diffference between Stork and butter."
Both his Nana and Mother both passed within a year and it emotionally ruined him, like it would any of us. I don’t blame him if he doesn’t want to come back.. especially with the way the world is and how everything is deemed offensive nowadays
Teachers with amnesia was so funny, “Who do you think you are?” “Who am i?” SILENCE WHEN YOUR TALKING TO ME! God i love this man, makes me proud to be a Boltoner.
Yeah, we specially got one of those huge sampler wallpaper books from some shop so all 3 of us could back all our books. It was quite fun trying to find the coolest wallpaper pattern to use.
I went to my 10 year school reunion in 2013, I wasn’t even going to go but a mate convinced me. Pete is absolutely right, there’s a reason I kept in touch with certain people and not others. If I didn’t like them in school when I had to see them I wasn’t going to like them 10 years later.
Very true. I saw a girl I went to school with years after I left school. Not at a reunion but she was vile to me at school and when she tried to speak to me like we were best buddies I couldn’t really be bothered.
I can still remember all my 40 classmates from my Primary School on S E London in 1963 when I was 9 and I communicated only last week with a Guy from my Grammar School Year in S E London from 1965 and we got 86 out of the 90 pupils in our year. LOL
@@Kas58223 I went to school with Peter as well. You were at the think table trying to get some taste of the fizzy sweets from whats-her-name? You were her boyfriend.
RW Lynch He’s most probably always been quick witted and great at poking fun, so I imagine that without the maturity, he could well have been a charismatic verbal bully to other kids. It wouldn’t make him a dick, it’s just difficult to be humble when you’re a kid and everyone thinks your hilarious.
lol yeh I always wanted to be first one out, can remember putting my pencils away now! Swimming was best, it finished early, I'd be out the door like a sunbeam through a shadow and straight home to my mum, I miss her so much!
Im originally from the midlands.My father was a geordie.I have worked and had friends from the north,salt of the earth people with a wicked sence of humour.Peter Kay is a great comedian and entertainer 😊😊
Holy goat of a motherless cow i would sure like to see him on swedish soil!! UK comidians are the best there is . Ever since i saw " The hunt for the holy grail " as a youngster i have been a huge fan of UK sense of humour and it has never gone away, it get stronger the older i got and I am now in my late fourt-ish!
@@sweetlikechocolate437 thank you ! Things like that contantly pops up in my head and I'm somewhat alike Chandler Bing of the comedyshow " Friends" . If I gets into my head I just have to let it out 'cos if i don't I will probably explode and become a new planet in a furious orbit around earth...
I always thought how lucky those kids were that were in the same class as Peter Kay because they must of all had a great time. This guys is definitely one of my favourite comedians I hope to see him on stage in the future.
Margaret Guest you were lucky 🍀 unfortunately I got bullied all through high school and through the years of five and six it was so bad that I was transferred to a private school for a year. There was only one boy who was nice too me in year six and his name was George Beech.
The packing up ritual lol. I had that down to a fine art! Given all the phrases teachers use they must have gone to the same training college with the same lecturers!
When you bump in to someone from school, who didn't give you the time of day back then, but now they try and talk to you like you were best mates. And your like, do you even remember school?
I remember when the technology teacher wheeled in the big TV & went in the staff cubby hole in between two classrooms for a cuppa. He came back to find that someone had switched the channel & we'd been watching Rab C Nesbitt all lesson.
This guy is brilliant! I wish Netflix would put reruns of his sitcoms on here in America. Peter is by far the best comedian I have ever heard. I'm so sick of the so called comedians in the states that only know how to insult our President, and pure filth coming from their mouths. Peter is just funny, he is a gifted comedian. The UK is so lucky to have him!
"Sister Sledge she was lost in music caught in a trap no turning back"..🤣🤣.. Fingers on lips ya missed hands on heads..😅😅.. Awwwwww come back soon Peter ya fans miss ya..😀😀.. Epic, Keep Them Coming.. Makes my day..😁😁😁
Our maths master used to say, "Be quiet and LISTEN! I don't know... Every time I open my mouth, some damn fool speaks." He knew we knew he knew what he was on about, so nobody got killed.
I've been out of school for 35 years and I've never been to any of my class reunions. High school was like being in prison and I don't have any desire to see those people. I fucking hated them.
Paul i went to that reunion ,the girls ,more lad's if im honest🤦♂️ 30 years ago and some 🤦♂️why would í be bothered now 🤦♂️i married the lollipop lady 🤦♂️as if 🤣
Paul ,you are missing out trust me ,It's a shocker what people look like and great to see people you actually remember ,Only went to 2 but it's a great laugh ,i even remembered the girl who picked her nose and wiped it under the table like it was going out of fashion 🤣And she was there on the first one ..and i reminded her ,poor Lady didn't know where to look but the rest of us was in tears ,and her eventually 🤣
I recall the upside down bench in the infants’ - teacher called it “the balance bar” - I can barely keep my balance on flat wide ground, never mind “the balance bar” - whatever did they think I was - a tightrope walker?
Hilarious, so true! Jeez, for misbehaving, you would get the cane, either across the hand, or on the bum. Another special, six of the best, on the bum, with a plimsoll! Board dusters, pieces of chalk thrown at you..never mind political correctness re what teachers said to you then, what they did to you physically, and was accepted, would now be tantamount to assault! Happy days though.
Nigel James What about being forced to eat everything at mealtimes? Not so much a punishment for perceived wrongdoing or recidivistic behaviour as a rule that applied to everyone - no exceptions - staff misheard you when you said “No sprouts” or whatever you didn’t want - then they would pile them high on the plate and expect you to eat all of them or no pudding!
Love how he says that we could never get away with having the ‘thick table’ these days, but I’m only 19 and my school had the same thing lol. It used to be a bummer because there was also a clever table which I was never smart enough to be on, but then when I got to secondary school I got put into all of the higher sets because my primary school grades were ‘above average’. So... those tables were a pile of shit, weren’t they? 😂
We had a cookery teacher in high school in the 1980's, a black lady, we called her mrs eccucumber. She went out of the room once, so everybody who had a watch moved the time on by 1/2 an hour, the clock in the classroom also. We all went home 1/2 hour earlier, silly old bird thought her watch had stopped!
@@whateverittakes5572 Descriptive approach. Reminiscence creates a picture and so the writer wrote down what they remembered, so the reader could picture the character.

Whatever It Takes Why does it affect you so much? A descriptive term isn’t offensive, it’s merely a way of picturing a character. If anything it helped me build the character in my head more. If he had used the N word or something then yes it would absolutely be offensive.
@@whateverittakes5572 why did he have to mention she was a woman? Or a teacher? Or that she thought her watch had stopped? Could have just said “we had this human once” not offended anyone and ended the perfectly funny story right there.
Me and my mates made a paper airplane at the back of class out of a huge sheet of card we found in the art department locker. I threw it down the middle of the class. Teacher was a young female who screwed it up in a right hiss. Trouble is it was too big for the bin. The joke backfired as I had to report to the head teacher..... I was 14 at the time. Class thought I was legend so I was happy. Happy days. Long summer evenings doing knock and runs.... Ha ha
The crazy thing is, from my experience at least, a lot of the totally crazy things people said & done that you'd think Peter was making up for comic effect, actually happened every day!
