Terrible British Movies 

Happy New Year! Sorry the Ranking Video has taken so long but it's almost done! Should be out by the end of the week!

Mark going to Ireland over Christmas and then dropping this video is basically a declaration of war

Fun fact: Mrs Brown is such a cultural icon in Ireland that during the pandemic she was on government campaign posters around the capital encouraging people to follow lockdown restrictions

As an American, I actually do remember the Horrid Henry books and show. I don’t remember how I was able to watch it, but somehow I did. I always viewed it as the UK’s equivalent to Caillou, just infinitely less annoying.

My dad always hated Ms. Brown's boys because he knew Brendan O'Connell. Not a nice man, apparently.

As a British person who hasn’t even watched the full video yet, I’m offended

Nothing makes me question the Irish side of my heritage more than the fact Mrs Browns Boys was made by an Irishman, and somehow became a cultural icon in Ireland popular enough to justify a full length feature film…

Horrid Henry really is the British Greg Heffley, the idea of a barely “bad” boy is equivalent to a terroist

I remember going to see "Mrs Brown's Boys: D'Movie with my two pals, and we were the only three people in our screening. It was basically like watching a regular episode, only 90 minutes long. It's definitely a Love It or Hate It show.

It's a darn shame Mrs Browns Boys has lasted so long but Father Ted only lasted 3 years.

For a sequel, Mark should make Terrible American Movies. For equality

My (very American) family watched Mrs. Brown's Boys on RU-vid and some free streaming service, probably. I don't think it's that bad. I've seen some pretty terrible shows and it ain't that. But if I had to hear it every day, I'd go insane. I'm so sorry, Mark, for what you had to go through. Truly the worst thing the British have done to the Irish people.

Horrid Henry:The Movie is my childhood. You dare put it in this list. Have a very happy new year, you evil evil man

I Like how casually Mark glosses over the fact that He couldn't find Fat Slags anywhere He could find the comedian's Guide to survival, but Not Fat Slags

I certainly wasn’t expecting Horrid Henry of all things to be all the talk of Twitter near the end of last year, and I genuinely don’t know why .

I had a mate who was obsessed with Mrs Brown’s Boys growing up. Whenever I went to his house he’d make me watch either that or Jeff Dunham. I have no idea why we were friends

I actually met James Buckley at Belfast international last year, lovely guy but you can really sense his reluctance and shyness when confronted by fans. Glad he’s moved on from majority acting and leans more into the fact that he’s a recognisable figure for influence and advertisement.

I remember watching the live action Horrid Henry movie and thinking it was weird as heck.

Whilst there are a lot of rubbish films that have been made in the UK, the UK film industry is thriving. We have: - Pinewood - Shepperton Studios - Elstree Studios - BBC Films - Aardman Animations - Studio Canal UK Maybe it would be good to look at some of the good ones made here?

I love how absolutely nobody is mentioning the watermark at 14:00 during the fat slags segment. Actual comedy on it's own and probably funnier than the movie itself

For some reason I will never get tired of the British genre of: "oh this cheeky little boy is so cheeky! He snuck into me flower garden 'gain, I'm unna report 'im to the constable I oughta!"

Used to watch Horrid Henry on TV sometimes, and sometimes felt like his punishments and situations were unfair. Recently saw a compilation of his parents yelling at him for nothing, his brother breaking down over accidentally breaking one vase, becoming horrid for attention once Henry acts nicely.

As someone who is a neighbour to the UK (Republic of Ireland) I loved the Horrid Bababooey movie as a kid

I'd love to see a video about some British Tv shows like ghosts, dr who, cunk on earth or even black mirror

Surprised you didn't mention Dick and Dom acting in the Horrid Henry movie. They were and are iconic in the UK, especially in that late 2000s / early 2010s era of Cbbc gross out Too Cool For School media, which their whole career kinda encapsulates (Noel Fielding too, tho he's less relevant to that particular genre I just really love him)

As a person who isn’t British and has no idea what Mark is talking about, I’m offended

As a British person Shaun of the dead is the best British movie by far

Did this guy seriously say Britain doesn't make any good films? Are we forgetting: All Aardman films, The Cornetto Trilogy, Trainspotting, the King's Speech, Local Hero, Monty Python, Kes, 28 Days Later, Chariots of Fire, Dracula (Christopher Lee). Umm... the James Bond films? Notes on Blindness (more of an indie movie that I highly recommend) And, it's technically a tv show but had film length episodes: Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot with the excellent David Suchet. Also, I think Derry Girls massively helped redeem Ireland in the tv comedy front.

im gonna be real with you mark if you do this again, you gotta do the harry hill movie. i was one of like 2 people who watched it in the cinema and its defined my entire life.

The only jokes in Mrs. Brown's Boys I remember laughing at were when the camera crew were involved like when one cameraman broke a window and she actually pointed it out. Looking back the movie was not as funny as 12 year old me thought, it was the "I should not be watching this so it's automatically the coolest thing ever"

I remember the Horrid Henry Movie being so good 😭😭

Horrid Henry is actually the source of one of my favourite jokes ever in TV. In one episode, Henry is trying to write a letter to his dad's boss, and he signs it ending with "Earth, the Universe," and then he says "Huh, what comes after the Universe?" Later in school, his teacher randomly brings up this exact topic, and just when she says "So, if you've ever wondered what comes after the Universe..." and Peter (edit the threequel: it wasnt peter lol) randomly walks in saying there's a limousine thats come to take Henry away (its his dads boss), and Henry says, completely deadpan, "Great, just when you're about to learn something interesting, along comes a limousine." Its just so funny to me specifically and probably no one else on the planet lmao EDIT: This joke comes from Season 4 Episode 31, "Horrid Henry Helps Out". Thanks to @cyberz55 for saying what season it was cause the wikipedia page for episodes is vague as hell. EDIT THE SEQUEL: Here's a link to the episode in question: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-74M7R7kieyw.html. The joke is at 5:55

When I was 7 and living in Hong Kong in the 90s, I received a book called Stories for 7 Year Olds (or something like that). As the title indicates, it was an anthology. Specifically, an anthology of British children's stories. One of them was a Horrid Henry story about a camping trip. His family and brother are excited about the fresh air, tent, and sleeping bags while Horrid Henry hates everything. He wants cabins with power and indoor plumbing instead. I felt very seen as someone whose relationship with the outdoors was/is best described as "ambivalent." I moved back to the US about a year later and didn't hear of Horrid Henry again for over a decade. I had no idea he had such cultural cachet.

I will never forget seeing the young offenders in theatres as someone who lives in cork seeing the cinema inside of a cinema was truly cool as fuck

As a person who isn’t British and doesn’t watch Britain movies, I can confirm this is what they go through

I'm shocked you left out "Keith Lemon: The Film." That's an undisputed classic!

As a Brit myself, I can confirm all of theses movies are absolute class and makes me want to have some beans on toast with the mates

If you're looking for a not-Inbetweeners series with James Buckley that's really good, i recommend White Gold. Shame it had a short run because it's brilliant

How did British-made Irish comedy regress from the legendary Father Ted to Mrs. Brown's Boys...?

I feel extra bad for James Buckley because he was in Doctor Who quite recently. However given its quality drop off in 2018-2022 he got lumped into what is notoriously the worst episode of its 60 year history, Orphan 55. Poor bloke

As someone who is unfortunately British, I cannot praise this incredible video enough for documenting some of the war crimes me and many others are subjected to. thank you for bringing these horrific crimes against humanity to light and condemning them as an atrocity. Bravo Mark. Bravo.

*"Aaah,This video remember me of the Hunt !"😌* •The Fairly Oddparents British guy

Nah, Horrid Henry the movie is genuinely GOATED, I fucking love it.

I actually remember Horrid Henry as a kid, despite being from Texas. The reason I ever got to see the show was because my step brother found it on Netflix, and he absolutely loved it, probably because he saw himself in Henry were both very similar people. My parents would eventually end up banning it from the house, because he was a little demon at that age, I mean the kid tried strangling my brother because he didn’t get a longer turn on a game than him. Anyways, my parents blamed the show on his behavior.

I remember watching horrid Henry as a kid and enjoyed watching it, sad to see as you grow up you see it at a different angle.

I'm a scottish person who always hated the "you gotta like this load of shite for patriotic reasons" argument, so you have my deepest sympathies 😔

I can't believe Mark didn't talk about the cinematic masterpiece known as the Harry Hill Movie

I'm American and I liked Horrid Henry as a kid. Although, I'd say the cartoon was more like a British Johnny Test rather than DoaWK

Calling Mrs. Brown British actually hurts me deep inside

Horrid Henry The Movie feels like it was intended to be made for television, and you can clearly tell by looking at the quality of the sets.

Hi mark I’m a massive fan of ur videos whenever a new one comes out it puts a smile on my face keep up the good work 💪💪

One thing i disagree with regarding the mrs brown part is that you say the idea of a big businessman trying to take town moore street was generic but it was and still is extremely topic because theyre CONSTANTLY trying to do it

Poor Mark knew his positive review of Submarine would piss off the cynical hunger of hate-watchers so he had to suffer through a bad movies comp just to satisfy the masses 😢😢😢😢

i like going through old british movies but im very disappointed you didnt review the absolute masterpiece that is the harry hill movie 😔

These movies really make you feel like you have crooked teeth and drink tea.

"Worlds punching bag" Isn't that literally Murika, can't name single part of it that isn't a memed on daily by the entire internet lol

LSmark talking about so many films lately makes me want a Letterboxd account of him.

Britain put all their perk points into Rock bands and forgot about movies

You know it's gonna be a good day when LS Mark uploads a new video

Very weird coincidence that both countries have a character called Dennis the menace that debuted at the same time, but the American one had a international presence and a live action movie back in the 90s while the UK beino one just stayed in the UK as far as i know

I remember watching the Horrid Henry movie many times; both on (the now defunct) CITV & even Netflix. It was always a very stupidly fun watch as someone familiar with the TV show & books. Some parts are definitely 'cringe' to look back on but I believe the final song in the credits is still unironically good

I saw a community post saying LS Mark was about to post a video. I refreshed the page for an hour and I am not disappointed.

as much as i hate defending mrs brown boys even slightly, i dont think the joke is "man dressed as woman haha", i think its meant as more of a pantomine dame rather than haha crossdressing.

Mark doing a scouse(?) Accent is hilarious

Mark should do parody movies. They were EVERYWHERE for like 5 years and then disappeared. From scary movie to disaster movie.

When it comes to mrs browns boys, it's not really treated like a show in Ireland, it's more like an expression of irish pride and qualities, i like to think people see mrs brown as their own mam/gran, which is just emphasised with all the 4th wall breaks, also an episode releases every Christmas and new year so people put it on when they're together with their family. It's just a show that encourages appreciating the people around you and your local community. But it'll never top father ted though 😂

Britain also gave us the god tier "Lord of the Rings". And Amazing world of gumball. (Yes, gumball is ACTUALLY a British show. Crazy I know)

No slander for Horrid Henry will be accepted 😤 especially the movie.

The 2010's was a terrible decade for British movies, mostly just nostalgia-bait crap based off existing property's, or just something that was popular at the time. Who tf ever asked for a Pudsy The Dog movie?!

As someone who used to watch horrid henry, I see this as an absolute win :D.

if theres one thing the UK isn't known for, it's movies LOTR... Harry Potter...

I am unashamed, unrepentant, uncaring, massive fan of Mrs Browns Boys. I will die on this hill that i love, and will always love, Mrs Brown 😂

I used to think Mrs Browns boys was the most hilarious shit ever when I was like 8 and I don't know why

Really appreciated the constant fart sounds playing in my headphones during the Fat Slags segment

Will “British Animated movies” be next? If so here’s a suggestion for one, Moshi Monsters The Movie (2013)

I saw the bad teeth on the thumbnail and knew I was in for a wild time. Never change Mark, never change.

Truly Mrs Brown with the word "feck" is out there competing Eminem with "fack" in the "Let's see who can make the f word funnier" competition

I swear the first time I read the title it spelled "Terrible british people"

It's funny: Alfred Hitchcock, perhaps the most revered and influential film director in history, was british, but he spent almost his whole career at the United States, where he made pretty much all his most acclaimed films, and often having his films demeaned in the UK as not british enough. In fact, such criticisms are why he left Britain and went to Hollywood to begin with in 1940! Please check out the films by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, such as The Red Shoes. They made many classic amazing british films in the 40s, with colorful visuals, but were also sadly shunned by many contemporary british critics as "not british enough". British cinema was expected to be grounded, realistic. Some would say to the point of being "stuffy".

We NEED a anniversary re-release of Fat Slags I desperately wanna see it now

Oh my god, it's real The last movie made 95 USD at the box office I'm laughing so hard rn

On that note about Father Ted, take everything I'm about to say with a huge grain of salt as I cannot confirm the verasity but, my brother went to college with Dermot Morgan's granddaughter, and she claims that there was an unreleased episode of Father Ted that was stored away and never shown. Now, I heard about this well over 10 years ago and never again, so, grain of salt.

mark you have to make a part two of this you've hit so close to the centre of my special interest

shocked the Harry Hill movie wasn't in this, definitely deserves a future video

As an American, I'm more confused than offended. 😂

Mark, my guy, you have no idea how hyped i got when you mentioned a new Wallace and Gromit movie, i had no idea there was one being made and now I cant wait

I used to read the Beano comic as a kid. While working at a store, I noticed a comic I sold had an age rating of 18. I then gave Viz a go and that’s how I found out about the Fat Slags. Didn’t realise they made a film based on them though lol. I still doubt I’ll watch it. I still read Viz to this day though and find it funny. Please do a video on some of the British comedy greats though. I take pride in being one of the funniest nations!

To anyone who doesn’t know, Horrid Henry (TV show) was (and might still be) available on Netflix

The fact that the highest rated movie in this video on Rotten Tomatoes is The Comedian's Guide to Survival....

OMG YES - I love it when media from my homeland is thrown into the general world like an old dog on the verge of death, it’s nice to let people know the kinda stuff we had to suffer through LOL Admittedly, I hadn’t heard of the Irish woman one or the slags one, but the Horrid Henry movie was my bread and butter as a kid - it’s so funny (ironically) to laugh about, especially with the weird editing tricks like speeding up certain shots unnecessary or having Noel Fielding appear in it for no reason (fun fact, my aunts friend plays the lunch lady near the end, which me and my brother quoted a LOT) PLEASE make more videos about obscure bri’ish (or just general uk) media, the world needs to know the kind of stuff we had to live through… Here’s some more bad British films I’d suggest! - the Nativity films (there’s 3-4, but I only saw the first 2) - generally follows a guy with relationship issues who may or may not hate Christmas (first movie followed Martin Freeman, second David Tennant) who ends up a teacher at a primary school run by a delusional man child of a teacher who hypes up the kids to do a big production nativity play - just incredibly embarrassing and difficult to get through as an adult (at least for me) - first movies just kinda boring, second one is the opposite, but is way worse and maybe has a weird pregnancy fetish? - the Harry Hill Film - about, you guessed it, Harry Hill, a man known for taking other people’s videos of people falling over and putting them onto his show - in the movie, he’s a manchild living with his nan who wants a girlfriend (even though he’s, like, in his 40s) and he thinks his hamster is dying so the movie is a road trip to Blackpool before he perishes, all while Harry is on the run from two goons from his evil twin brother (played by Matt Lucas) who want to stuff his hamster for his weird taxidermy hamster land - there’s seashell women, car wash musical numbers, and it’s a bit shit. It’s made all the more worse because this movie had potential in my eyes? Maybe if they removed Harry Hill, changed the writing, changed the characters, changed the humour, changed the story - we could’ve had a decent British surrealist comedy? - the David Walliams films - they were tv movies based on books written by comedian/hack writer (who some morons have the NERVE to call the “modern Roald Dahl”) David Walliams - the ones I saw were the ones for Mr Stink and Gangsta Granny. Admittedly, they aren’t as bad as the Nativity movies or Harry Hill, but they’re still kinda bad - maybe it’s the books that piss me off, idk. Love your work and keep it up!

mark since you are irish you have the right to review father ted

Was any other British kid confused why Horrid Henrys School had no school uniform. I can suspend my disbelief so far but no Uniform at School, What is this Lord of the Rings?

i thought the 95 dollars was a joke but holy fuck it isnt

I love seeing Horrid Henry appreciation, I love Horrid Henry, and the movie is really good.

Viz, where the Fat Slags came from, also spawned Roger's Profanisaurus which was basically the Urban Dictionary before the Urban Dictionary existed. My favourite Viz strip is Buster Gonad and his Unfeasibly Large Testicles.

mark is finally talking about his Irish identity

I will say Mrs Brown's Boys can be annoying but the cast being actual family to each other and, from experience of chatting with few of the cast, they all seem like kind folks. It was a huge in Glasgow before the TV show was made.

LS Mark is quickly becoming one of my favourite RU-vid channels.

8:01 I did that with a book I checked out from the library when I was a kid. I thought, "Oh, no, they forgot to color the pictures. I'll be a good Samaritan and do it for them..." I got yelled at by my parents for a _very_ long time.

Horrid Henry's animation reminds me of the Little Princess cartoon series. I looked it up and noticed that they ran at almost the exact same time and are both British. So that's probably why they look the same, even though it's not made by the same animation companies.
