23:25 no but ok there are SO many more iconic lines from angus thongs and perfect snogging that i use on the DAILY: “georgia, why’re your legs oringe?” “flip flipper and flipping ‘ell” “i wrote a song about you - it’s called bitch in a uniform”
Two nights ago, I dreamt I met Mike, we both saw a panther and I said "she's very Julia Fox coded isn't she?" He looked me up and down, walked away, and returned to his job as a Bunnings team member. I still have not recovered.
I read the title as Who won the 2008 British Bake-Off for reasons entirely unknown to me and it took me a solid 4 minutes of waiting for mike to tie these movies into it before recognizing my Mistake™️
about to spend the next 37 min of my life watching you talk about movies ive never watched and never plan on watching and im going to love every second
Talulah Riley was also in Doctor Who (S4 - Silence in the Library) and St Trinian’s 2 has David Tennant. If Doctor Who is the measure then the St Trinian’s franchise defo wins!
Omgomgimg thats where I know her from!!! I remember thinking omg I love this actress she's great cant wait to see her as the doctor! Then I coulnt for the life of me figure out where exactly I knew her from 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but yh all the cast in St trinians and even some in Wild child are peak British Celebrity 😂😂😂 we love to recast our people especially in television omg the bbc, channel 4 and itv keep british celebrity WORKING 😂😂
@@HerHollyness and she's now married to thomas brodie-sangster, who was also in doctor who AND love actually AND played paul mccartney in nowhere boy AND ferb. very iconic VERY british.
The british media agenda that IMMEDIATELY followed the rodent agenda of 2006/2007 cannot be a coincidence. Flushed Away was British too. Anyway my theory is that Britsh people/rodent agenda of 2006-2008 is the single reason for the market crash that immediately followed
wait until mike realises that Kate from wild child is Linsday from Angus thongs, and drippy from wild child is Celia in st trinanas, they were BOOKED and busy that year
I absolutely love that Mike is so unaware and pure that his only grievance against Russel Brand is that he's "the guy you broke up with Katy Perry over text before her performance in Brazil" instead of ...all the other things.
I realize Skins is a series and not a movie but! it’s otherwise a perfect example of this british teen slice of life late 2000s/early 2010s genre. I started watching Skins shortly after binge watching LOST and both were extremely impactful to my love of tv and culture
Omg if he did a full skins breakdown video I would be so happy. That show WAS my teenage years, sneakily watching it on the tv in the kitchen so my parents wouldn't catch me
American being the worst thing you can be is very reflective of the British girl experience lmao 😭 when teachers put on a video in school that has an American person in it they’ll apologise haha
kimberley nixon being in both wild child and angus thongs & perfect snogging playing school girls each time but both having wildly different personalities is kind of iconic of her
St Trinians literally altered my brain chemistry and shaped my entire personality when I was like 9. And now my parasocial RU-vidr bestie whose videos I've been bingeing all through my uni is making a video on it. The way I'm screaming and crying right now
I don't think we can overstate how huge St Trinians was. People dressed up as these girls for halloween for YEARS afterwards. The Girls Aloud cover was a school dance favourite and everyone thought their school was St Trinians.
This video made me realize why i like Mike's channel so much. It's the references, of course it is! First, the sheer amount of them, then it's the way that they're crossed and woven and built on top of each other in such a insane way (like, structuring a video about 2008 british teen movies around BRAT? sorry luv that's insane) that you are bound to understand something even if you only get one reference, it's so good. And also how relevant they are to the NOW. Rather than giving these videos an expiration date (cause pop references do get stale), it makes each video a snapshot of the pop landscape at the time of release (through the lens of Mike) and like, the internet as well. And that's is VERY pop, and on purpose as well, and that's very Gaga of you Mike. Also not to mention the many subversions of the RU-vid video format, you're insane. So yes, your artpop could mean anything, and it means being chronicly online and being pop for pop's sake. Love you, love your art, keep it babe, bumpin' that
I didn't know she was dead, I am devastated. But it does showcase perfectly why I will never go skiing ever. RIP Queen, I'm sure you still slay in heaven 🙏🏻
foaming at the mouth that you're bringing up st trinians in the year of our lord 2024 we are so blessed. this was my hyperfixation movie as a kid so i have to infodump about a few things that weren't mentioned: 1. colin firth and rupert everett did movies together decades ago at the start of their careers and this is constantly referenced in st trinians (like the lines: 'another time' 'another country') and what makes their relationship in the movie so aaaa!!!! another level!!! 2. the receptionist is played by jodie whitaker who is??? literally the doctor??? which is like the most british thing ever??? should have got extra points for that imo anyway go watch st trinians
angus thongs and perfect snogging scoring lowest for soundtrack is personally offensive to me when we have bangers she’s so lovely by scouting for girls and ultraviolet by the stiff dylans
me too I have precious memories of buying and listening to the Angus Thongs soundtrack ‘album’ on my ipod nano on the bus to school as a 13 y/o British girl
as a teenage british girl thank you for this video, i now feel very connected to the influential mike's mic channel and i am very excited to be graced with such an oppurtunity
they way every time i watch a mikes mike video i talk like a gay man for a little bit afterwards, if i could help it i would, but unfortunately, the slay is contagious.
Can't believe you didn't mention that Talulah Riley was Mary in Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley. Or that Lily Cole was in St. Trinian's. Maybe it's just because I was a ginger growing up in the early 2000's, but seeing the model Lily Cole be in a film absolutely shook me.
forever grateful to you for shedding light on the british girl experience of the 2000s. may i humbly suggest as a subject for future analysis the post-financial-crash-era loss of the brit teen rom com? i genuinely can't think of any except chalet girl and tamara drewe. (and about time but that's too heavy!) it seems like we are living through the revival now though! :)
Oh this was made for me!!! the casting of st trinians is next level! other icons you missed was kathryn drysdale as the head chav who is also in bridgerton, jodie whittaker as the school receptionist showing how iconic of an actor she is hence the reason why i had no worries when she was cast as the doctor in doctor who, tamsin egerton as the head posh tottie was in love, rosie and chalet girl and is married to josh hartnett, model lily cole as the head geek! we also don't like r*ssell b*and cause of the several sexual assault allegations against him 🙃
I’ll never forget the feeling as a 10 year old American child visiting Shropshire, England in 2008 and watching St Trinian’s in the theaters with my new little posh friends feeling fit AF!
@chloemortimore172 shropshire girlie's unite! I mean how many of us have moved away since 😂 but my school experience was defo more St Trinians than Wild Child
I’m from the southern United States, and I definitely stood out there lol, but the small town feel reminded me of the little town I grew up in. I loved it. The people were delightful. And I know this makes me sound extremely American, but y’all had a McDonald’s in like a CASTLE! Still the coolest McDonald’s ever lol
St. Trinians has always been my favourite ‘this is so fucking dumb I love it’ watch it with your brain turned off and what little remains of your British pride turned on film. It feels like a fever dream and I adore that. Also I’m a sucker for found family and despite the movies whole plot it has surprisingly a lot of that. They’re doing dumb convoluted crime shit BUT they all really care about eachother and I think that’s what really cemented its place in my heart.
😂😂😂😂 ballet flats 😭😭 out of everything in this video that I absolutely love, the way your ballet flats anecdote !unleashed! core memories in me was everything. 😂 thank you for making laugh so hard ❤.
I’ve seen a few other comments say this but I want to thank you from the bottom of my British 13 year old in 2008 heart for making this video. I regularly still listen to ‘Ultraviolet’ by the Stiff Dylans and these three films hold such a special place in my heart 🥹
The way I was holding my breath with each category, preparing (even though it would have broken my heart) to fight Mike if he didn't end up picking my favorite out of the three (the same movie that changed my brain chemistry forever) and the vindication in the end when his extremely scientific scoring system declared my favorite movie as the winner. This must be how the male species feel after their favourite team wins the world cup or something. These 37:30 minutes were everything. The validation from the mmcu and Mr. Microphone himself might just have healed my inner child.
The energy and flawlessness you brought to this video makes me wish you'd summarize and discuss The Wedding Singer. It's not 2008 or full of fashion girlies, but I just got this feeling that had to be expressed; you understand.
The way that “Slaggy Lindsay” from Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging was also Kate in wild child AND that Juno Temple was in Wild Child and St.Trinians altered my brain chemistry when i was like 12
Wait! Hold on.... A video discussing the iconic, legendary, complete and utter nuclear bomb of art and culture that is the Madagascar franchise would be soooo amazing!
MIKE you are in my head!! In the last week I have watched Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Wild Child and am about to complete the trifecta - this video could not have come at a more perfect time
Another absolute BANGER of a video, Mr. Mic. Thank you 🙏 I'm so glad I've been streaming brat nonstop for a week cause I fully understood the references in this video (but more importantly because it's BRAT like enough said I don't need to elaborate) I appreciate the vilification of AI, too. You're so right ❤
MICHAEL MICROPHONE did you know it’s BASED ON A BOOK CALLED ANGUS THONGS AND FULL FRONT SNOGGING??!! i just learned this from an interview recently & i’m gaggedd
