Excellent. I love "Goodness Gracious Me".

Googlookin.. Just managed to see the videos, since they were blocked at work..

To be honest I found them hilarious. The joke was on the Southerner and not the Filipina..

I think this brings home the subtelties or NOT of humour. It is very subjective.. Remember the abuse Manuel used to take in "Fawlty Towers" ? and ofcourse I won't even mention the war..

now that was funny:))))

lunchtime over, back to work! oh wait, i meant back to QL!!!

Hehehe...!!!

fore, of course. now get out of the way before it hits you in the head!

lol good question labda...

Scarle, hahha, I guess so!! Tell me beautiful, one more question...you spell colour as "color" and favour as "favor" (the u really is soooo unnecessary). How do you spell four? :P

Britexpat, its the influence of Tigasin, I swear it is. He makes me butcher the Queen's English so.

I have an IV drip which feeds through a colostomy bag where i keep freshly sliced lemons - thinly sliced. I gave up the tonic years ago as it diluted my intake rather too much.Yippee, Yippeee, its Bombay gin for me!

I almost died laughing the first time I heard what you guys mean by that word...

bu then again, I used another word, toss(as in to toss trash into a trash can), and got almost yanked out of a room by my british friend, who couldn't stop laughing at me.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

ooohhh, better go and eat first before i lose what's left of my sense of humor...

I read "fynnnne" as "fannie", which may be misconstrued..I may take exception to this .

labda is that in English spelling as in tyre?

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

I was just looking through a few more of these clips and they are funny, to me anyway.

just eat another pie

I can say Yankee as its not in the same context as you put it and I didn't say it as its usually used in context with Tig..as in damn yankee...Its all in semantics..

Pieman...thanks for the video..it was hilarious and I think those are my inlaws...never knew they visited London...

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

I have nooooooooooo idea what this thread is about, but Im having myself a real fynnnne time.

------------Virgos dont like chaos, gerrit? ----------

I was chatting to my filipina friends last night & they told me that they didn't get the joke and told me of the reaction in the Philippines. I just wanted to know what you guys thought of it. Good to see it's more positive than negative!

Pieman i was to scared to post that youtube video!!! :) lol

but then again i am a southern softie!!!

You said the "Y" word.. last time I used it, I was castigated...(No it does not have anything to do with Eunuchs)..

Anyway.. How about throwing some "British" jokes our way...It'll liven things up..

lol pieman, lemme know when they start slaughtering you, i'll help you find a good hideout... ;)

an IV drip marhab?

tig is a yankee..

Nipple - Moi!? No I am on a drip girls !Yippee, Yippeee, its Bombay gin for me!

Tig, shouldn't that be pronounced as "nuffin"? HAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA

ohh marhab...do tell us how you prefer your gin....

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

ain't nuthin' wrong with American English.

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

hahaha, a nipple!! marhab, sucking on gin lol... well, let's ask him, shall we...

Makes me wonder if he skips the glass and has a nipple on the gin bottle..

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

pronounce ending "t"s as a R sound...so only I guess I'd be scarlerr...

and as far as dropping things..we southerners almost always drop the ending "g"s on words..like goin', workin', ect....

as far as the missing tt's....you could always add an "i" in the middle and have a spare..

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

hey marhab,...he's always full tank scarlett lol...

But Scarlett if I pronounced you're name in Ameriglish-ese, it would be Scarle...hahaha, so why bother with the tt's??!

------------Virgos dont like chaos, gerrit? ----------

how's the gin level today? Full tank?

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

lol labda, you made me really hungry now that u mentioned pasta... ooohhh 15 minutes more till lunchbreak...

Wow! May i say that you are both looking stunning today! Mwah!

Yippee, Yippeee, its Bombay gin for me!

Ameringlish is the way to go...we took out all the extraneous vowels, and pronounce words correctly.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Mjamille, I know pain innit? I mean hello? Work vs. QL?! Paleeeeeze...:P

Scarlett, ah I breathe easy now that I know. There is hope for Ameringlish after all! :P

Janeyjaney, pasta!! yummmm Bon appetite!

------------Virgos dont like chaos, gerrit? ----------

I said "I" don't use redneck or mexican" in humor, we put the Brits in instead. Of course I was just teasing on that.

Actually the guy you are thinking of is Jeff Foxworty...and he's funny as all heck...especially since I've been called a redneck all my life.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Pieman, if you can still find any. My Lebanese friend purchased every single jar and tube out there. csi

That reminds me....I must buy some gel

just eat another pie

? Scarlett I am not sure I am reading your post correctly... US has no redneck humor? Whos that guy... George Fox or something with the whole... "You might be a redneck..."

lol janey,....really, you look hot with that bazooka in your hand, hehehe

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More like babe from Babe!!

Labda, I'm having lunch. Swine sandwich. ;) Et vous?

I bet you can get away with 95% but only if you brush your hair so that you don't look like the guy in the video..

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

BAD RETAILER!

I say it's punny like punaniiiiiiiiii. hahahaha

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

95% if you play your cards right.

Watch the video again, and remember I'm a northerner lol

just eat another pie

lol labda,....day's been great so far... thanks to QL lol....but sometimes, work gets in the way of QL hahaha...

the ones we tell never have the redneck or mexican ..its always british..

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Scarlett I've always wanted to know, do you really spell naked as nekkid? And why do you pronounce it funny? :P

------------Virgos dont like chaos, gerrit? ----------

lol, pieman,....i expect you to give me 90% discount ha?

Most humpur uses put downs or sterotyping..

As in Polak, redneck or Mexican jokes..

humor...is spelled correctly...we Americans just took out the unnecessary letters, such as the "U" in colour.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

mjamille hahaha, good to know you can sniff me out, lol! Quite a busy day at work, just about to have a bite to eat. Yourself? Day going ok?

janeyjaney, it's that wonderful sense of humour of yours that "we" all love so much!! You really are funny though Miss janeyjaney. No, seriously I mean you are REALLY really funny. Hello?! Please did you hear that, you are too funny, stop it now, you're killing me you rib tickler you!!! ROFL

------------Virgos dont like chaos, gerrit? ----------

kinda scary, huh?

Pieman..thanks..just tough for me to see others get put down, even in a humorous way. In general, it was a funny concept, tho. Just could have been done a bit differently and still been just as funny.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Well said JBH, thats certainly another slant on it.

mj....pm me to arrange english humor lessons, but please note the Eid special offer price is now over.

just eat another pie

that's coz they haven't seen a babe named janey yet janey...

Hmmm.....I think you'd have to have absolutely no sense of humour about yourself to take any offence from any of that.

oopps, sorry bout that brit,...humour, sometimes i type so fast i dont even look at my screen....

Scarlett, well maybe that one was pretty for them. Yikes!

Okay Scarlett, I accept your view even if I don't agree with it.

Lets just put it down to Britain and America being two great nations divided by a common lanuage (and sense of humor):)

just eat another pie

The joke isn't on the Northerner or the Philipino maid.

The joke is on the posh middle class conservative bloke.

It is supposed to dipict his attitude and outlook.

Having a maid and a pet northerner and trying to mate them is a vast over exageration of his percieved outlook to others.

Nothing else.

As for little brittan, the joke is always on the other people in the sketch, not the disabled / foreign / old / gay one.

I bet you I have spelt most of this wrong.

Call me Maninibat!

First step in learning British humour is to spell it properly:)

then the least they could have done is choose a pretty girl!!

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Labda, hehe I know!! My colleague dancing in her uniform!! For shame!!!!!!! What a disgusting thing to do!! Oh me and my dark dark humor. hahaha

Maybe they can take it as a compliment... they guy thought his filipina maid was the hottest ticket around, no ordinary english woman would do...

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"

"Oh my gawwwwwdddd!!!" labda! i knew it! the moment i read that line, i knew it was you right away hehe...how've you been all morning?

let me give you an example of what I was trying to say..

Yes it could have been just any other girl, but it wasn't and they made a point of saying "my fillapina maid" Its like trying to telling a story and adding in the comment..there was this black guy...when there is no need to do that..it could have been just a guy...totally unnecessary. why didn't they just put in a typical english woman...??? Would that have affected the humor at all? if the answer is no, then why throw in the Fillipina with the stereotyping?

I never have a bad day at work...just don't like it when people spread racism and make it out to be humor.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

lool, imagine if Gypsy were here?

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"

Oh my gawwwwwdddd!!! I am so offended! Sooooo offended!!! Offended on behalf of janeyjaney who is in denial and mjamille! Absolutely horrified, what kinda crap is that???!

Uhem, cant access youtube from the office :P

------------Virgos dont like chaos, gerrit? ----------

Amoud, yeaaaa but they could have gotten someone hotter. hehe Just my 2c. hehe

pieman, well maybe it was a bit funny,.. like i said, i need more education on the English humor...

maybe they've been having a bad day at work today... what u think janey?

Ha, the filipina is the hottie in this... they needed major cuteness so who did they pick? A filipina.... looks bad on us heheh

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"

Scarlett......

To be honest its the northerner who should be upset if anyone. The whole sketch is made to take the mickey out of the northerner, as can be confirmed by the second clip which is a northener and a southernerjust. The Filipina is just a girl, it could have been any other nationality.

Like I said, English is is 'different', and I would think 99.999999999999999999999% of Britain would think that was funny and no way racist, sexist, nationaliyist or anything else.

mj.....so is it funny or not

eat another pie

I don't think it's offensive at all. I don't know why some people are making a big deal out of it.

im not sure janey, i need to educate myself more on the English humor... my stepdad used to tell me jokes sometimes i dont get it right away...

so am i janey... think i need to watch more billy connolly or jim davidson.. hmm what else do we have at home? will check later...

Did you find it offensive Mj?

Hahaha! That was lame or maybe I'm not too keen with English humour :S That's an ugly Filipina by the way.

but then again, i think not...

I can find humor in some things, but this isn't one of them...but if you all think its alright, then more power to you...

Guess I always thought that you can be funny without making someone else look little.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

racist, funny, or stupid... i choose funny...

This is excellent, and I'm a northerner.

It's typically British and nothing else.

Anyone trying to read something into it give up and get a life.

Its not racial and its not meant to be, problem maybe is that if you are not English born and bred you are never going to understand all the subtilties of the English humor

just eat another pie

I am Canadian but dont get offended when a little fun is poked at us. Look at South Park... I mean they even made a whole song called "Canada Sucks", and we have been made fun of in numerous movies. At the end of the day, does it really matter what anyone else thinks? I personally dont give a toss.

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"

I'm not that politically correct, but am sensitive to others when it comes to making fun of nationality or race. No reason for it. Most people can laugh at themselves but others take it as a free rein to start in and continue past the humor stage. That's the worrisome part of humor like this.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

How many times have you seen TV shows making fun of us stupid English? Millions of times and I have never once got offended!!!

I think you have to be pretty politically correct and sensitive to be offended, especially if you’re not Filipino or from OOP NORTH.

The world would be a better place if more nationalities were able to laugh at themselves and not take everything so seriously....ahem ahem Qatar.

If you think I’m against Filipinos then your ma arte and maybe you should check the 'goodlookin or not' thread and watch my video.

much love...laters ;)

well then guess you aren't on the receiving end of the racial slur...even if you are a notherner...and no, its not funny.

amoud...yes have seen that one...didn't particularly find it amusing either...stupid perhaps...funny, no.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Has anyone seen the commercial for the arabic comedy show where he is showing the benefits of a Chinese wife? He puts her in the closet, and then he has a remote where he can turn "off" her cranky moods with this retarded laughther?

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"

It is funny and no one should be offended unless they have serious hang-ups about their nationality. From a Northerner

haha this is funny, in an absurd kind of way.. but then that's what the show is famous for..

you should have seen the sketch Little Britain did about a mail order Thai bride. Then there was a follow up sketch with his brother who got himself a russian bride and the discussion was whose best.....

Anyway I find it a lot less offensive to watch an imaginary situation on a comedy show, that what happens in real life in the gulf and other places...

Its really stupid. There's nothing funny in it at all.

I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown

the difference is that the humor is aimed at their OWN countrymen, not others...so its like comparing apples to oranges...can't be done.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

not filipina but I find it in incredibly poor taste. I do understand the English humor, which is very sarcastic but you've got to draw a line at generalizing other nationalities for humor's sake.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

if you have nothing to do, don't do it here!

To you goodlookin, If u were a filipino or a filipina when seeing these videos, will u feel different or unusual? irritated?

I feel it not unusual because, i'm a filipino,maybe the writers of the show are running out of comic ideas, that why they are stereotyping,

Put yourself in someone else shoe, then you think, just answering your posts, peace.

if you have nothing to do, don't do it here!

WTH...
