Jokes in GTA:O that only Brits would get

[jollythecat]

It would be nice if you guys could explain the jokes to us non Britons.

 

I've been in England several times, mostly to go see the Canaries beat the sh*t out of their opponents at Carrow road.

But also just pubcrawling in London. Still I don't get the jokes, but I want too. I love everything about British humor, Monty Python, the young ones, comic strip and so on, so I'm fairly used to your weird and wonderful humor.

 

My user name is inspired by the comic strip "Mr Jolly lives next door", which is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Sure, anything in particular you'd like to know?

Going off the list of programmes you've given there, if you've not seen it then you MUST watch The League of Gentlemen, There's a film, but I'd recommend watching the series first. You don't need to but it helps.

 

Happy watching!

 

[jollythecat]

Thanks guys, I get the Bati boi joke because it was explained and funny as hell.

I don't understand the Bristols gas storage, or the Robert Dizzler jokes though.

 

Gonna check out that league of gentlemen film, thanks for the tip.

Bristols is an old way of referring to boobs, and the gas storage things down near the docks are (in a schoolboy way) reminiscent of boobs.

 

 

 

Bobby Dazzler is another old, old saying, probably older than the use of the word "bristols". It just means something awesome. Something or someone can be a "Bobby Dazzler". Robert Dazzler is just a humorous version as Robert is often shortened to Bob or Bobby.

Well, a "Bobby Dazzler" is something either surprising, unexpected or beautiful/shiny. So if you'd bought your UK mate a Rolex (for whatever reason) and he said "f*ckin' ell' mate, that's a Bobby Dazzler that!" that means he's very pleased with his gift.

 

OR

 

If you brought your new gorgeous girlfriend back to your parents and your dad exclaimed that she's a Bobby Dazzler then you should be flattered and probably worried lol

 

Hope that helps.

Bristols / Bristol Cities / Titties.

 

I have no clue what "bristol cities' refers to though.

 

Gruppe Sechs is kind of universal, but it relies on Group 4 which is (was?) a UK private security company.

Ahhh thank you. I never knew that.

Is it not just a reference to "Group Sex"?

Group 4 is the real company, Gruppe 6 is the GTA equivalent, and yeah phonetically it's "group sex"

[jollythecat]

Haha, lol!!

 

Ok I get it now, the Bristol gas storage is hilarious. And the explanation of Robert Dazzler was spot on, you learn something new everyday.

Gonna start using that as much as I can when I speak with British people.

 

Thanks a lot mates, great stuff!!

I see Group 4 vans all the time, never knew it was anything to do with security though

They got a contract for moving prisoners in the 90s and promptly lost half of them, so it was a topical joke in the original GTA. They're now G4S and do meter readings and stuff.

[dead goon]

This is a great thread. Sorry....brilliant!

[slimeball supreme]

One time a top hat walked into a bar and said

"Ye poncy Bristol fish and chips"

And the bartender says:

"London bangers and mash"

 

Aren't I hilarious?

Bravo this man !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should of been at Wembley , what a day !

[jollythecat]

Oh yeah, I envy all Canaries fans that where there. Amazing match!!

[We Are Ninja]

I love it when DJ Kara is elated that she can say "wanker"on the radio because it's not offensive in the US.

[whywontyoulisten]

Do the first Fleeca Job Heist set-up ("Scope Out") and pay attention to what Lester says. At one point, he pronounces is "Flee - ka"

 

Personally (in my head at least) I would've pronounced it "Flee - sa"

 

Just did Scope Out to check; he says Flee-sa in the first scene.

I live in Norwich. The Wembley match was fantastic. I wasn't at the match but I watched it in the Murderers pub.

Scots are Brits, you had your chance

As an American, I have no idea what 90% of these references are lol.

I believe the thread is named 'jokes in gtao that only brits would get'

 

Hope this helps,

Mate, I didn't even get those ones. Maybe it's because I'm northern so I'm not familiar with fairy humour that is practised by the southern fairies. However I do have the advantage of a Scouse accent which is all the better for exclaiming certain phrases, such as; YA LITTLE BATTY BOI HAHAHAHA etc.

G4s are the largest security company in the world, and one of the richest companies overall. They run British prisons, police stations, as well as private military contractors overseas. My dad worked for g4s in Afghanistan a few years ago as a PMC, he's with a different company now though as the management was sh*t, apparently

Bati 801 - Batty Boi - Batty Boy = Homosexual Male

Oh sh*t, I've been laughing at Bati riders being called "Bati boys" for ages, but the 801 never occurred to me.

 

Anyway, apologies to the Irish for putting this in the "Brits" topic, but there's no way anyone across the pond will get this:

 

 

 

Careful now!

 

 

OMG I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS!!! location please?

 

For those not in the know, this is a reference to an old Irish comedy called Father Ted.

 

Tell me where it is now, won't ya? Ah, ya will, ya will, ya will...

Scousers sound like chavs from Dubai, don't flatter yourself lol.

[EarlyLifeFailure]

Anyone remember an old Buju Banton song called 'Boom bye bye'? This song has the words 'batty boy'... The saying is originally Jamaican slang

I'm going to say no, without any fear of contradiction.
