We (South Africans) find humor in everything, life is too stressful to be upset about everything all the time. We like to have fun and we love a good laugh, I sometimes feel Americans are overly sensitive.
Not to trivialize apartheid as it was an undoubtedly sick and oppressive regime, but hey he lived through it, so did Trevor Noah and they're both comedians, their jobs are to find the funny in the places you would never think to find it and make it work! When i was younger (much younger) both Loyiso and Trevor Noah would go up at the this place in joburg called Cool Running's where they had this thing on Sunday called the Comedy underground those were the days... Saw Trevor Noah's career start off there, he went from a weekly slot to headlining to then sharing the MCing and then one day he was huge!!! Loyiso was also great i remember once him and the crowd just starting reciting lines from the movie Snatch and he made jokes about it, was great. They were also cool they would stay after and we'd often have a drink with them, dunno what Trevor Noah is like now but all those years back he was a really cool guy to have a beer with and shoot the shit
Apartheid was also a Law in Namibia 🇳🇦, a Country North of South Africa 🇿🇦, as we were under the regime of South African Government, and back then Namibia 🇳🇦 was called Southwest Africa... and in 1990, Southwest Africa (now Namibia 🇳🇦) gained her Independence.
I'm a white South African and me and my black friends rip each other to shreds with Apartheid jokes, all done with love. It was the the most shameful and disgusting part of our history. The thing about our humour is that we find the funny in everything. It is our coping mechanism❤❤🇿🇦
If there's one thing that reflects the true essence of South Africans... Humour and Song... We laugh and sing regardless of the situation... Love you for this Loyiso Gola reaction video. We ADORE that man this side❤❤❤❤❤❤ CAMAGU
In SA we find humor in everything. When USA was trembling because of covid19, in SA people came up with "the covid19 dance" and it was a dance move used in a lot of parties around the country🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was ready to leave this country cause ai no man people here are not serious at all🤣🤣🤣
I feel like, as South Africans, we tend to deal with life through humour. So, instead of getting angry about it all the time, we joke about it. We can laugh at our deepest pain even though we're not healed yet. At this point in time, I'm not sure if it is a strength or a weakness? Yet, through the healing process, we laugh.
Hi guys. I've been following your reactions especially about African countries and South Africa in particular and I must say you really opened my eyes to realities in life that I've never imaged. This guys name is Loyiso Gola and it's pronounced: Lo-Yi or Yee-So Go-La. Thank you for appreciating my country but not everything you see on social media is a true reflection of our daily life but humour in South Africa is true. There could be something depressing like national crisis but the very same affected folks are the one to start droping jokes about the whole thing. You'll have scratch hard to find South Africans looking sad on something tragic that happen to them. We get even when we are angry. Of course every now and then we lose it and start trashing our own infrastructure and thereafter, we're good. We chill and start a braai.
That specifiic Apollo Theatre is in Westend, London. Loyiso who was born in Gugulethu, Cape Town just 5 miles from where I live, is Huge in South Africa, has made a name for himself on the UK circuit (he now lives in both SA & the UK) and has also had successful shows in the USA.. Apollo London is one of the first big venues a South African act can put on their resumé to say they've made it onto the Big international stages.
Loyiso Gola is amazing. You should do a reaction to Daliso Chaponda, a comedian from Malawi, but based in the UK. He's extremely talented, and hilarious too.
I remember that referendum. I was 11. We lived in a white area. I was the only non-white kid in my school. And I remember the dueling boards up on the lampposts. "Vote No" - "Vote Yes" - "Stem Ja" (Vote Yes in Afrikaans). Don't know why that memory's so vivid, but anyways....
I'm from Liverpool, Northwest England. And Blackpool is about a 2-hour drive North from here. It's famous for its Pleasure Beach Amusement Park. And on the downside, the highest rate of poverty in the whole county.
This properly cracked me up. Everything about it. We do have foxes everywhere (just saw one today) in London. They can get brave, once there was a fox den at the back of my garden and they'd come and eat the cat food by the back door. Also friends from abroad were staying over once and the foxes were mating. The noise is awful and they thought someone was being attacked.
Family, you told us all the good things but left this one important fact out after all these months! 🤣 Now we see you wanted us to find out for ourselves. Omg the sounds??🤢
@@thedemouchetsreact2.0 I don't think reacting the noise mating foxes make would be a good video necessarily but... he sound that can wake us up in the winter mating months in London 🤣 ua-cam.com/video/blvBBdvCgN8/v-deo.html
LMAO I lived in London for a couple of years. I was in East London, and there were lots of foxes around my way. One scared the sh*t out of me one day when I was coming home from work and it was pitch black.
Fam that is how I feel about the USA in regards to random animals just roaming around. I visited a friend in Vermont just a month ago and on arrival he made me away that there are bob cats and fox around. Do you guys realize that even a squirrel crossing the road is wild for me as a girl born in South Africa🤣🤣🤣. In Africa the only animals you will ever see crossing the road where humans live are cats, dogs and rats. Anything else is literally extra ordinary.
Also Chickens 🐔 , Cows 🐄, Goats 🐐, Sheep 🐑, and Pigs 🐖 Sometimes Rabbits 🐇 (Depending on which part of South Africa you're in) These you'll find amongst humans especially in the Townships
I really enjoy your reaction. I just want mention that, at the time when South Africa was having a referendum in 92. South Africa was already under sanctions things were tough for the Apartheid government that a majority of them voted for the regime to end.
As frequent as foxes are in London and in rural towns and cities here- I don’t know anyone who’s been harmed or attacked by one! They’re scavengers and eat anything they can find in your bins etc… the worst thing about them is how loud they are at night screaming and screeching and it can sound like a person in trouble 😂
It’s the UK. I lived in the UK, Midlands, to be specific in Burmingham. I used to travel bus to work and no one greet anyone, nor talk to anyone in the bus, unless they know them, so was at work. Loyiso was performing in the UK.
Loyiso: Pronunciation: Lo like in 'Lord' (but short sound), 'yi: 'y' like in 'yes', 'i' like in 'is' (slightly longer sound), 'so' like in 'sore' (short sound). Emphasis on 'yi'. Lo-yi-so.
Love the channel, did you know that in the 1992 referendum where only white people where allowed to vote, the overwhelming majority voted to end apartheid.
Loved this! 🖤Love you guys!🖤 And oh yeah...just read his name the way it is...no clicks. 😅 Pronounce 'G' like in 'Give' not as 'J'...hope that makes sense. 😂
Honestly i was piss drunk once sitting on the edge of a bridge (it was a foot bridge a foot above a tiny stream lol) and no joke i heard tiny footsteps behind me and when i turned around these little eyes were just rolling about, turns out it was a fox wanting its stomach scratched then it brought its babies over. Them things are brazen.
We make fun of everything here in SA😂 We even have a saying in Zulu that "kuhlekwa ngisho kufiwe" which roughly means we laugh even when there is death. Nothing is ever too serious, We make jokes to make the situation lighter.
Hahaha i watch your whatwver bt alwayws happy becoz ur cute no need to aplologize abt anyting in black South African i support you !no need to apologize to nlo one
Also, plot twist, there were two referendums, and both times only whites were allowed, and both times the whites voted to end apartheid. It was a regime.
Loyiso was born in 1983... In Gugulethu... Apartheid ended in 1994... Eleven years old... It is now 2024... Thirty years later... Explain the part about growing up again Loyiso... South Africans voted last week and finally toppled the ANC after three decades of corruption... Thank God...!!! Our demographics are... (Rounded down...) Black...81% Coloured...8% White...7% Asian...2% Other...1% The old rhetoric is dead... EVERY NATION ON EARTH HAS HAD OR IS STILL PERPETRATING THIS SHAME... We are not harping on and on and on abput any other country's political shame... South Africa brought our "crap" out into the open with the "Truth and Reconciliation" commission... Remember...!!! All the dirty little secrets came out... Done... Enough now... We are all working so damned hard to save our country... Loved the story about the white cleaning lady though... 🇿🇦
This is Apollo in London, UK (not in Harlem, New York). People in western countries dont greet strangers in public spaces. Yes this comedian is well-read - the new racism. His name is pronounced "low he so" as one word
he meant Americans don't greet strangers... In South Africa it's customary no matter what culture you are from to greet other people when you get into a shared taxi, to greet when meeting or making eye contact with strangers at a social event or just greeting your server at a restaurant and making small talk. Americans are extremely wary of strangers so they just look at you weirdly
@@khanyisa7373 true. He’s taking about Londoners. I’m sure it’s true of people in any big city. We tend to keep to ourselves, especially when on public transport. Add English reserve in to mix and you can have a full, completely silent, train on the way to work. I used to think it was strange but now I love it.
Africa, especially Southern Africa has an unique and diversified history of Black People, how white people treated us back then... Wasn't easy, according to those who lived and felt the sting of Apartheid...
Great show but the problem is the show needs a leader and Sjuku is supposed to do that l,he failed to control the panel,the guys in the studio don't give each other a chance to talk.That's what is lacking in todays episode,Sjuku and Sizwe were supposed to control the show
I’ve lived all over England and there have always been foxes venturing into towns and cities, i think since fox hunting isn’t as big a thing as it once was and the towns and cities building out further and closer to their chosen habitats it’s become easy for them to come and scavenge at night
We (South Africans) find humor in everything, life is too stressful to be upset about everything all the time. We like to have fun and we love a good laugh, I sometimes feel Americans are overly sensitive.
Completely agree. There is funny in everything. Have a laugh, people. It does wonders for the mind :)
It's never too soon 😂
That's what I've realized about Americans,sensitive about trivial things. You won't survive here in South Africa,we even laugh in the funerals🇿🇦❤

South Africans make fun of Everything. It's one of our survival traits.
Hi fam..we South Africans ease our pain with humour
We get it. It just puts us in a tough spot to laugh.
We should do something else though now
OMG, you guys made my night. You reacted to Loyiso. He is a gem. Thank you 💃💃💃

Loyiso Gola, one of the best comedians South Africa has ever produced.
Best comedian? Hayi, ungadlali ngabantu.

We used to watch the show as kids when Steve Harvey was the host. Are there still live shows this year? We’d love to catch a show on our visit.
Loyiso Gola is amazing. You should do a reaction to Daliso Chaponda, a comedian from Malawi, but based in the UK. He's extremely talented, and hilarious too.

Great Reaction, Mr Gola is gem you guys should check more of his stuff. 👋🏼
