Ram Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 wtf not funny at all I dont find this funny at all (the first post, havent looked at the second video yet). If holy also does not find it funny, then this is not phunny :eyedance: It is actually quite funny, if you understand what the humor is all about. The first and second videos were mocking at typical Indian stereotypes - The Indian accent , the submissive housewife , domineering husband, badly maintained house etc.. I guess the guys living in UK will be able to relate more with it than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaurav Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 I think most people here don't understand British humour. In music and humour Britain RULES! Let's see if you lot find these videos funny. They are taken from a comedy series called "Little Britain". This particular character is called Vicky Pollard :hysterical: She is da bomb and represents typical teenager in England :cry_smile: US equivalent of trailer trash :giggle: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUPMJ3S8_K8]YouTube - Vicky Pollard Xmas Skit 2[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9--0crFqUU]YouTube - Little Britain Vicky Pollard[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_diO7Of188s]YouTube - Vicky Pollard & her gang claiming the patio[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDOpVA5vQ8I]YouTube - Vicky Pollard on school visit[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaurav Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 It's about British comedy:haha: There is a comedy prog. called "Little Britain". Two men play all the main characters in the series....from gay men to teenage girls. They basically take piss out of Britain. I know that baba. :eyedance: The thing I dont like about British humour, is it always brings a person down. They always, seem to laugh at someone's expense. All comedy is at expense of someone else betty...I mean matey :finger: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8orUaCJ0GY]YouTube - Little Britain: Meeting the Parents[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mecQWjLlyKw]YouTube - Little Britain - Betty[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I think people in the UK are the most elucidative speakers/writers. At one point , i literally fell in love with Tony Blair speeches( never missed his annual labor party conference speeches) Even in this board , it is evident that guys like Dhondy, Observer are the best exponents of the English language.

It does not negate the fact that some of the humor above is simply crass. Ah, to each his/her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F'leg , british humor can be appreciated at multiple levels. A lot of word-play happens, which sometimes we miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
