@Abhinav Kaul You guys cause more shit to flow into the ocean than every single living being. You guys have literal shit running into the ocean and it's so bad that 90% of the world's fecal matter can be traced back to India so think a little bit laterally before you accuse others of being racist. That's a statement that excludes designated shitting streets. Unfuck your own society before you call others racists. Some people are just realists. Let's shake on that using our left hand.
Bharatha Varsham I think it is a satirical poke at the stereotype of Indian and south Asian people in the UK media, exposing the absurdity by "putting the shoe on the other foot" all while being hilarious
He could have meant that in a facetious way with some people thinking white English people are in the minority in certain areas. ......'needing' this kind of support, there for 'approving' it. as a joke comment.
It’s making me so happy to read the comments such as, ‘as usual, british comedy is the best’, not only because I’m british and I’m glad others enjoy our comedy, it’s mostly because I’m so happy that people are acknowledging everyone as british, and not just the white person. It’s pretty unusual for UA-cam comments.
Very funny. If you could find an unblocked clip of the probably preceding business meeting sketch of introducing Jonathan to the group, I'd be delighted. Saw it a few years ago, loved, it, and now can't find it (unblocked), again. I loved it because it poked fun at us non-Indians who have trouble with long Indian names (because they are unfamiliar). After seeing it, and laughing (also at myself), I've made a concerted effort to learn them.
I thought it was particularly absorbing how the British character price was so low. How all became okay once he received an extension on his contract. So, they layer him with stereotypes, then show him one minute being upset only to end up showing the audience he has embraced a stereotype.
Not that anyone cares, but the British / Anglo-Indian community are kinda sorta reduced to stereotypes...bad white colonial villains, or clinical English modern supervillain
@MATHA NOSHTO-MAN america isn't the only place with rich people, other countries also contribute to the global economy, also us outsources a lotta stuff
Why? Because they hit the nail on the head highlighting how asian minorities are still SO poorly represented in the media? Not nice is if if it's the other way round !!
well that’ll be bad because we sort of were colonised by them and there are scars around the country. they sort of caused one of the biggest mass migrations on the world of 15 million people where 2 million people died due to them. the british killed people. we have forgiven but we won’t forget. if she shed light on the british it has to be on the evil they did because we can’t make the new generation forget of what our people experienced.
This show was so ahead of it's time.
It's certainly streets ahead
Yet no one yapping about racism or discrimination........(yes, I know this is supposed to be comedy and kind of in a funny way addressing this issue the other way round at the time)
Race relations have only regressed since the freedom to make jokes and satirise like this programme does was taken away.
Oh shut up. They got plenty of abuse from the offended bigoted snowflakes
Not at all, there's just been a shipload of ignorance.
"Only 2 hours long- and no dancing!" I got a great laugh out of this! Thanks for posting. :)
Well they can't. Can they?
@@averagebodybuilder 😂😂
averagebodybuilder has come
Yeah , that was good one
"Have you ever saw a white doctor?"
I lived 4 years in the UK and changed 3 GP practices. Only saw 1 English doctor in all of this time 😂
I never realised till now 😂
That’s odd since in pretty much the rest of europe being a doctor is as white of a job as it gets haha
It’s rather odd that you’ve changed 3 GP practices in 4 years!
drcheekyisback Not really, changed home 3 times. I live with student friends.
I live in rural Australia and 90% of the General Pracs here are Indian, Pakistani or Sri Lankan.
Funny because it's true- even over time and distance.
None of your doctor's were from the UK? Most of the ethnically Asian doctors in the NHS are British, because they're from the UK.

Didn't know about that...thanks...so this was a satire on that
Chinar Culture at that play by play is it even satire at that point
Wow thanks for sharing this ! Had no idea
Damn, that's a deep cut
Nice detail. This show had on spot on satire.
I am Scottish, and I love this. It makes one feel sort of humble, INNIT :-)
Innit is English slang
@@ammarabbasi3230 innit was street slang, but it's still just shorthand for 'isn't it'. some people will say it anywhere in UK, especially young people -that watch too much Eastenders-
He made sure to say *”SORTA”* humble🤣
@@ammarabbasi3230 nae bother, hen
I'm Indian and I grudgingly say the Brits are good sports about all this...British comedy is the best.

Goodness Gracious Me was the best!!
@@simonhartley5444 Now Liberals have turned everything into offensive.
British comedy is the best in the world, I agree. I'm from The Netherlands and I love it!!💕💕
@Uncle Bruce Political correctness is what liberals want and not the right wingers . Mostly offensive jokes comes in that category.
This sketch is genius. Just pure genius
20 years ahead of its time
I once tried to make my roommate watch a Hollywood movie. Sometime after it began, she asked whether it has songs? The movie was Godfather. I never tried again.
:-D
Don't even try with family members 😂.. Our society is not yet ready to accept those..
Only show them the animated ones that too in hindi dubbing 😂
Well, the Godfather does have a song at the beginning, doesn't it?
It has about 4 songs
This was so clever, I appreciate this even better the second time round.
One of ,if not best comedy shows of the last 30 years
only 2 hours long- no dancing LOOOL
I think the Americans need to take a hint.
Harry Chittenden Ha-Hoh.
Ah yes, a video about Indians and brits. I knew someone would have to mention America.
Eddie 😄👍🏿😂👌🏾
There’s English actors in all American shows now.

Why cant we play doctors? I laughed
"I haven't actually finished!"
"Oh, god! Here we go!"
Definately my workplace!
Again, the Brits know comedy like no one else.
Stereotyping a culture everytime doesn't make it a comedy, that's called humiliating.
Bharatha Varsham sensitive. Don’t watch if you’re gong to cry about it
Bharatha Varsham I think it is a satirical poke at the stereotype of Indian and south Asian people in the UK media, exposing the absurdity by "putting the shoe on the other foot" all while being hilarious
I'm British, and I approve this form of racism.
He could have meant that in a facetious way with some people thinking white English people are in the minority in certain areas. ......'needing' this kind of support, there for 'approving' it. as a joke comment.
It's fine when it's funny
Oh u are the biggest racists ever are not you even racists also means British
@Natural Born Hustler✓ Blow me hustler boy. Way to attack an 8 year old comment that was made out of good will. Bet you aren't even Indian.
It’s not racism
Absolute genius.. Im 31 and watched this growing up..
Actually, when being a minority in other countries, this is kinda like what happens a bit
I think that might be what the sketch is about...
Andrea Mendenhall they did, that's legit the premise of the skit
A bit?
Nothing gets past you eh
walk the dog lmaooooo

Finally some quality content by the great you tube RECOMMENDATIONS!🙏
He’s sounds so confident & entitled he doesn’t sound the least bit like a minority
James Smith yeah but they have to balance that with how a typical Brit acts, which is confident and entitled (that's not always a bad thing)
@@RK-ep8qy Bit of a racial stereotype there or were you being ironic?
English film, what are they on about? Nineteenth century costume dramas and World War II.
They have to bring this show back 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, Not all of us are Morris Dancers..... I'll just go hide my bells and sticks.
I'm from norwich
Very funny. If you could find an unblocked clip of the probably preceding business meeting sketch of introducing Jonathan to the group, I'd be delighted.

Janutha!🥳
@EuphoricImpact It really was a very clever show.
jolly quiet right!!🤣🤣
"Only 2 hours long and no dancing."
That Bangra with brass band instrumentation sounds amazing.

Yeah I don't think you understood the skit.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.. oh my god !! "Westenders"
This is fun not racism we are all laughing together without any snowflakes ❄️
Can’t believe how even after 12 years it’s so relevant here in the US - given all the DEI discussions!
This is the BBC.
This is soo smart XD
man I was a couples decades behinds for meera syal… 😅
How about an all British comedy show?= is this what the Goodness Gracious Me crew faced in getting it to the BBC?
probably.
Bring back Goodness Gracious Me!
Why can’t we be shopkeepers and doctors? 😂
Still funny after all this time
AMRITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. THE BABY CRYINGGGGGGGGGG
@TheMaxutuber thanks.
Well, this hasn't aged well...
A British classic.
One common factor is all groups make fun of others. Nothing to do with colour or race, just 'other'.
Hahahaha. I quite enjoyed this.
Reversal? Seriously? The Indian accent is still the showstealer ;-)
Lol never gets old
I love Meera Syal
Well they can't, can they?
I remember watching this show when I was in my teens what a great show a good laugh but you couldn’t put this on tv now people would get all upset
Why would people get upset over this sketch? This sketch is about bad treatment on minority. I don't think you understand this sketch
Dhamar I do understand the sketch thank you
Spot on!
Applies pretty dang well for America too.
I 'ad a proper Giraffe when I saw this sketch mate. I love Morris dancing and some of my best friends are white...! Ha!
Bloody funny 🤣🤣🤣
I can see this coming within half a century
Lmao
Is it just me, or does the anchor look and sound a bit like Sunil Gavaskar?
Love this shit
@GriffinPilgrim Yes I agree.
Polite Canadian and Ignorant Americans have done this to me; they need to pick some sense from this and take a heed.
This needs to be implemented, not just laughed about
Last english film I saw was prob Bend It Like Beckham
Aa Gg if you like misogyny and camp spies try the Bond franchise. If you like magic and camp wizards try the Harry Potter franchise. Lol.
This is fukken hilarious!!!
Just realized that was the mother on The Outlaws
Brilliant
Awsome
The INDIAN broadcasting corporation. Indian!
One of the women was in EastEnders.
I think it’s funny when she said “Are they funny?”
what happened to the office meeting with Jonathan?
This is bbc one now on bbc one dave lamb enders
@LatumWay Yeah a cockney kneesup is so much more dignified. 8-))

You called.
Cheaper to hire Indian doctors than English docs

@LatumWay To be fair lots of countries have silly folksy dancing.
Why is it silly bitch!?

_Goodness Gracious Me_ which was one of the best British sketch shows of the 90s. It was consistantly hilarious.
@@gothatfunk ty Captain!
oh come when was the last time you saw
white doctor 😂😂😂😂
I didn't know dave lamb was in this show
30 years later and the same stuff is being classified as comedy
It was funny back then
It’s just a bit boring now haha
Mr Jon Brit
John looks like the Caucasian version of the Indian guy sitting beside him😁😁
Have a paan...
I can’t remember the last time I saw a white doctor, and I work in a hospital
Only two hours, and no dancing
Only teo hours long. No dancing 😂😂😂😂😂
"When was the last time you see a white doctor?"
Who thought a parody as this will get real?
i lol'd
Humans need more empathy and Humanity.
Wouldn't get away with this these days!
Why? Because they hit the nail on the head highlighting how asian minorities are still SO poorly represented in the media? Not nice is if if it's the other way round !!
They're making fun of white people. Not Indians Dumbo....get a grip!
May be India should have an English history month.
well that’ll be bad because we sort of were colonised by them and there are scars around the country. they sort of caused one of the biggest mass migrations on the world of 15 million people where 2 million people died due to them. the british killed people. we have forgiven but we won’t forget. if she shed light on the british it has to be on the evil they did because we can’t make the new generation forget of what our people experienced.
they had those buggers for centuries in their land. not ever again!
