Ram Posted October 13, 2007 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.
yoda Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 i found it extremely funny. played several other episodes as well.

Gaurav Posted October 13, 2007 Author 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]

Ram Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I think most people here don't understand British humour. In music and humour Britain RULES! I totally agree. You need to have a really sophisticated sense of humor to fully appreciate British humor. :two_thumbs_up:
fineleg Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I totally agree. You need to have a really sophisticated sense of humor to fully appreciate British humor. :two_thumbs_up: Right. The wry humor.:eyedance: I really liked YES, (prime) MINISTER series though :thumbs_up:
Don Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I like catherine tate better then Vicky Pollard charachter. her Innit though is hilarious
Holysmoke Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 It is actually quite funny' date=' if you understand what the humor is all about.

They always, seem to laugh at someone's expense.
King Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Not funny at all, what's this all about anyways?
Gaurav Posted October 14, 2007 Author 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]
fineleg Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Brit humor disgusting in some of the episodes...Sheesh... *shaking head*
Ram Posted October 14, 2007 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.
