So, as a Brit, one of my uni lecturers who had taught in the USA as well, said he found that American students will talk and talk in the hope of eventually saying something smart. But British students don't like speaking up, in case they say something stupid. No clue whether that's accurate, but it's always stuck with me 🙂

Omid Djalili is the best stand up comedian I have EVER seen. At one gig, I had to use my inhaler as I literally couldn’t breathe. My daughter was almost sick and my husband bashed his head on the wall behind our seats because they were laughing SO hard. We’ve seen him four times. He’s a bloody stand up genius.
Can confirm those questions are 100% real. A lot of the same questions also appear in the ESTA (electronic system for travel applications). My mother filled them in for me the first time we were travelling to the US because she thought her English was better than mine. I then got rejected at the airport terminal because the ESTA said that I was a girl ( I am not), had never been to the US, and had apparently previously committed crimes there. This was the last time I let my mother speak on behalf of me in English.
Another suggestion for you...Daliso Chiponda. From Malawi (Africa), he was a finalist on Britain's Got Talent some years ago, but has gone on to carve a stand-up career. His dad is an important political figure back home, but he is another guy we love here in the Uk. He shines a light on some aspects of our life but so much the better! Needless to say I absolutely love Omid Djalili too.
I remember when I went to visit the US 15-20 years ago several of the questions was about whether or not I participated in the Holocaust or something. I haven't in case anyone wondered.
I bow to your superior irony skills here - you paused your reaction video for 2 whole minutes to tell me all about how your day went, picking up groceries and talking to sales assistants. You don't need to overshare with us! Sheesh.
A mate of mine ran a comedy club years ago, so I've met quite a few comedians many of whom were relatively unknown at the time, most of which were/are quite often regulars on shows like Mock The Week and Would I Lie To You? But Omid was one of the nicest comedians that was there, P's, Q;'s the whole lot, none of that "I'm famous get me everything I want" kinda folk, proper (excuse the pun) stand up guy.
In the Uk we are good at making jokes about others as well as us... thats why our humour is the best. You can't take it too seriously. I love American and UK humour
He also had his own tv comedy show. Were he did a mixture of stand up to a audience and some sketches. Also he is a actor. I first saw him in the 1999 mummy movie.
Cheers, not seen this little bit of him. The commentary section made me think of an Egyptian version of Goodfellas. "This is Ahmed, no Mohammed, I get confused myself!"
Thanks for your channel and enjoyed a few of your videos now and like your responses and nice vibe. I hope it’s not rude t suggest that you make the viewing and window a bit taller and less wide as your face would still be viewable but the video much better as it wouldn’t need to be all squashed down with everybody looking short and fat!! Thanks and best wishes from UK. Djalili great by the way and a good choice.
Over-sharing seems more likely when your standard greeting is "hi - how are you?" and so many people have the mistaken belief that they are interesting to talk to.
"Are you coming to the United States to engage in prostitution or unlawful commercialized vice?" is indeed a question on a US visa application it seems. I can't imagine anyone being stupid enough to say yes, unless it's there to trick people into thinking it must be legal of they're asking it
I like going out in a group of three, it means the other two speak to each other and I leave them to do the talking, that way you don't put your foot in it, as has happened in the past.
Er ... Just for Laighs (Juste Pour Rire) is not so much a channel as a Comedy Festival that's been running for 41 years :-) (it is the biggest international comedy festival in the world)
Hi Boomer great show. I prefer the stand up to the sitcoms though. I’d like to suggest a British character comedian whose creation is a disaster of a volunteer hospital radio DJ called Ivan Brackenbury who I think you’d appreciate cheers
My favourite foreigners are the Yanks .. ( sorry if some of you don't like that name) and some of my favourite comments are, apart from my granddaughter, from Yanks ! ... ie, an officer on telly doing a military briefing after some event in Iraq or Afghanistan , where he mentions 'an elevated observational platform' ... = a helicopter ! I luvvem !
Took my kids to a Florida playground when they were very young. They sat on the swings with mouths open as a four year old told them how she lived with her grand- parents as her step father would beat her mother up and had a drug problem and her birth dad was doing a life sentence for murder. It was completely out of their mind set but led to an interesting conversation for the rest of the day.
He wa prison guard in the mummy, also there has been a female pope Pope Joan Pope Joan (Ioannes Anglicus, 855-857) was, according to legend, a woman who reigned as pope for two years during the Middle Ages. Her story first appeared in chronicles in the 13th century and subsequently spread throughout Europe.
Hence the subsequent gender testing of prospective popes, which is probably an Urban legend (sic). I doubt any cardinal has ever had to examine a candidate's equipment and pronounce "Duos habet et bene pendentes." ("He has two and they dangle nicely.")
@@HeeBeeGeeBee392 you are talking about the Vatican, if the "joust of whores" (more commonly known as the "banquet of chestnuts") was a real event i wouldn't be surprised by anything. white washing their own history by pretending things that make them look bad simply never happened is literally the oldest trick in the catholic churches playbook. the fact is what little information we do have on such events comes solely from the Vatican's archives meaning none of it can be trusted as a reliable source at all and a lack of accounts cannot be taken as evidence either way. if pope Joan did exist they would've destroyed any records that confirmed it, such a threat could've undermined the very basis of the churches power structure, that only men could be in the clergy.
I have to admit. I'm guilty of oversharing myself. I'm a driving instructor and I don't talk about my personal life too much. But when someone says "how was your weekend" I don't think they expect the 15 minutes of ranting that usually follows. Nothing to feel bad about, it's a Welsh thing too haha
The visa questions are real! They also ask whether you were involved in the Holocaust between 1939 and 1945. The date of birth selector also goes back to the 1800s 😂
The Vatican acknowledges that for centuries the church held to the belief there was a female pope, Pope Joan, who they thought reigned as John VIII for 25 months from 855 to 858, between the pontificates of St. Leo IV (847-855) and Benedict III (855-858). It didn’t happen because it was later proof there were only a few weeks between their reigns and it’s apocryphal.
The first time I visited the United States from England, the visa asked :- 1) Have you ever been a Nazi ? 2) If yes, did you take part in the atrocities ? I was born in 1966. I am English. Go figure. My German friend said he is never visiting America, Yanks are obviously all racists. A few years later, they changed the form. It read :- 1) Have you ever been a terrorist ? 2) Have you blown things up and shot people ? 3) Are you entering the US to claim asylum ? I wanted to add.... 4) Do you always tell the truth ?!
Brian, in future when your fellow countrymen (maybe in Home Depot) start sharing irrelevant information, I suggest you gently interrupt and say, "I'm sorry, you seem to have misunderstood the question."
Thank you for repeating back to me the thing I just said, but wrong enough at the end that what you just said means the exact opposite of what I just told you 7 seconds ago…
Filling in tourist visa stuff for the US 14 years ago --Are you planning to engage in terrorist activities?..And the best one, Have you ever been a n administrative member of the third Reich? (or words to that affect)

😆 Bless your Mum! 💜 -x-
I appreciate the fact that you stopped the video for 10 minutes to talk about how Americans talk too much. Nicely done.
Oh, the irony 🤭
It was about immediately telling their life stories to strangers, not about talking in general.

Defo do more omid
Omid Djalili is brilliant in everything he does, from comedy to film and to daytime quiz shows.
absolute legend he has been in his fair share of films too well known ones the mummy,notting hill,mean machine,gladiator, pirates of the carribean
Omid is a intelligent comedian one of my favourites 🙌
Another UK Iranian comedienne is Shappi Korsandi… also incredibly funny?
When I was in my teens I would cry laughing watching Omid Djalili standup!
Ya it was me that sent you the 1st video you did a reaction too. 👌
Should search for Deliso Chiponda! From Malawi! He is very charismatic and very witty and smart jokes! Also, that lady He Huang

The night is young…
Those Visa questions are definitely real, although I suspect Omid was lying about his answer.
I don't know, maybe that's why he had to do this gig in Canada instead!
Oh yeh Omid is a straight up LEGEND!👌🏼👏👏👏😂😂😂💜
Omid is such a warm-hearted guy with a razor-sharp sense of humour; you've gotta do more of Omid!
king boomer you are the type of american we brits love
Watched him when he was younger…….hasn’t changed👍 nice reaction
He is a very funny guy.
It’s a shame that he isn’t on Tv more.
Dude, he is right about those questions. They are absurd. When I applied for a family visa, many questions were outrageous.
HE'S SPOT ON!!!😄😂😅😄😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌

Wasn’t he in the mummy movies with Brendan Fraser ?
Yup.
Omid played the jailer/prison head in the film The Mummy

Funny enough,he was a guest presenter on UK talkSPORT last week..Great station/podcast
He did a great interview on the graham Norton show.❤

Completely forgot up until now that I actually saw him live at the Exeter Corn Exchange like 12 years ago
Always loved Omid, he's hilarious loved him in the Mummy movie with Brendan Fraser, was funny in that too lol. 😂😂👌

Yes, these are the real questions.
