You eat pig. (Edit: I've realized that some minor ambiguity may lead to my comment being considered rude. The comment has no meaning beyond to state that the best alternative to eating beef or cow is to eat pork. :)
A dear departed friend of Mine was South African and a flight attendant and the stories she told me were hilarious and scarcely believable (and that was just the passengers)
I have worked in "the entertainment industry" most of my adult life. As a roadie I've had a few adventures and had some quite wild nights out.... However. I went out one night with a bunch of cabin crew (from a well know airline which I will not name here) ......and to be honest it was somewhere between a rugby club night out and fucking hammer of the gods! Those girls knew how to party!
Australian sign language. When the ladies stand in isle and point "your exits are here" then point down the isle and say "and here". If you were deaf youd see the lady saying "fuck you; fuck the lot of ya". Hilarious right! I got more funies too
This never gets old! A brilliant sketch, ha ha ha! Clare Thomson (Marla) and Alice Lowe (Jadine) are the two Air Afrikaans flight attendants, listed in order of their appearance at the start. Both British. Clare Thomson wrote much of the material. Sarah Kendall is the 'nervous flier'. She is an Australian comedian. Barunka O'Shaughnessy is the vegetarian. British.
Ja man rofl. I were living in South Africa as a kid. Im a UK lad. Africaaners are just like that. Daas nie bie lekker roineck je is a sout peil. At least I'm not an inbred rofl. wasnt directed at you it were
Beehive is a British sketch comedy series which was broadcast in 2008. It stars Australian comedian Sarah Kendall and British comedy actresses Alice Lowe, Barunka O'Shaughnessy and Clare Thomson, who wrote much of the show's material. Producer Siobhan Rhodes stated prior to production that the show would be about funny women, who do not feature regularly on TV.[1] The show also features Habib Nasib Nader and Jack Whitehall.[2]
I've just seen this for the first time, if this was broadcast in 2008 then it seems that Arabella Weir's 'Perfume Sample Lady' in The Fast Show was heavily influenced by it (stolen even)
Thank you. I'm South African and immediately knew that this is definitely not South African. I have no idea how some other people in the comments aren't picking that up. o_O Although the sense of humor is about the same - must be the English influence I suppose :D
"We'll get you some sweets, and a bag (to put over your head), and some valium to help you shut up!" ... "Beef or cow?" This sketch never fails to make me laugh.
To be honest, if you're going to have a moral objection to eating all meat, but you don't mind cows stuck in prison, eternally pregnant, hopped up on antibiotics, and getting their blistered udders sucked by vacuums, you don't have much of a point.
I have worked with , and shared accommodation with South Africans , these flight attendants have definetly been to Charm School and passed with flying colours.
So, so funny. Every single hostess comeback was a lol gem. The pointless choice of beef or cow was also a clever poke at the fact that South Africa is an obsessive steak producing and eating nation.
The number of comments here from Afrikaaners who thought this is funny and get the joke is not only charming and disarming, but it gives you hope when you realize how many people can laugh at themselves and have a good time of it. I would love to see more parodies of Americans. God only knows we deserve it!
As a South African, I can confirm that we love poking fun at ourselves. There are so many different cultures here and humor is the best way to bring people together.
@@raphaelklaussen1951 I have never voted for Trump, and I have seen obnoxious behavior on flights or even in waiting areas from people of all descriptions, although they often have excessive alcohol consumption in common.
@@ViolettaD1485 Sorry for misconstruing your comment's intent. Flights and airports don't give you an unbiased sample of people to judge their behavior. The reason is trumptards, being uneducated and working-class, are less likely to fly than middle class people. If you go to a place infested with trumptards you will notice their violence is not related to alcohol consumption but to their racism and stupidity. It surprises people to discover that trumptards don't consume much alcohol - their favorite drink is American beer, very low in alcohol and urine-tasking (Coors is their favorite thanks to the Coors company past sympathies with racism.)
ummm... United personnel just beat and dragged a doctor off a plane a couple of months ago for refusing to give up his seat to a UA staff person. Broken teeth, bloody nose, cuts and bruises and the guy was 69 years old!
gtimny the not so funny yet funny thing is united airlines slogan is"The Friendly Skies" but I'm sure thats not what the doctor was thinking at that moment ...
Danielo I have, they are extremely nice people maybe just your experience with South African's is not a good one i have some close friends who are South African i guess its the same with many races and cultures there is good and bad :)
I love this so much. Being South African born it strikes a chord. Their accents are very good considering they are actually English. Beef or cow?! Lmao got everyone I know saying that 😂😂😂
It's true! It's like they invented an accent that swaps countries so often, it's a metaphor for the white South African identity crisis! It's phonetic genius. I am in utter awe at their effortless execution. Truly effortless.
What identity crisis are u referring to? If I have one (being a white Safer) then so do the rest of the worlds Caucasian race. This video is an act.....omg I'm not even gonna bother to comment further.....I'd be wasting my timr
I cannot live without this video. It is on my desert island list. If I were stranded on a desert island, I certainly want this video with me. Bravo! To the two actresses.
I met an elderly Afrikaans lady. She lives in Northern Ireland. And was a farmer in South Africa near Johannesburg. She used to carry an Israeli uzi submachine gun for personal protection. It was hard to imagine this old lady running around with an uzi but nevertheless a true story.
I just came across this ... absolutely hilarious! The repetitive "What?" reminds me of Chappelle's Lil Jon sketch. About pissed myself with the "She gave me Spina Bifida " 😂
As someone who lived in South Africa and has roots there still, but now lives in Germany , I’d say the worst case is Luftwaffe (mean Lufthansa). The Afrikaans people have a fantastic sense of humour and also don’t mind laughing at themselves. Hence, this sketch is not a problem. Even funny.
I have a couple customers at work who wander through (over the road truckers, US) who are Afrikaans. The one couple are RV customers who come to our repair shop to have their "Land Yacht" serviced. The conversations they have are hilarious- breaking back and forth between English/Dutch Slang (Afrikaans). The other guy who stops by for parts has a bit more of a british/Afrikaans talk, and drives for a Canadian company. Living where I do, it's always fun to hear different ways people talk. Here people say we have an "accent", however we just say words differently I guess? Long story short- this sketch nails it head on, haha.
Mate mate mate. 1) It’s not Dutch Slang. It’s Dutch derived but it’s a language by itself. 2) Pronouncing words differently is the very definition of an accent. I really don’t get it when Americans say “xyz had an accent”. Everyone has an accent in comparison to someone else. Honestly, we all know there’s one (and only one) country where a domestic sports championships is called a “World Series” and that level of ignorance is something to not brag about
Well then, forgive me for being too American, lol. I'll agree with you on Baseball....The only other countries that have leagues are in Japan, South Korea, etc. We notice people's accent's here because we have so many regional ones- like in the UK. @@raymasraymas
Beef or Cow? I'm a vegetarian. That's ridiculous; if you don't eat beef or cow how can you be alive? 🤣 if you're a vegetarian you don't get a chocolate mousse. 😂 ROFL
This is not so far from the truth. When I was a child on a long-haul flight, not only was the vegetarian meal disgusting and had to be pre-ordered during booking. We used to get really dry fruit cake or just a piece of fruit instead of the chocolate mousse or chocolate cake the other customers would get. As a child that was torture. They never used to have any extra desserts to swap either. So we just ate the sour grapes and wished we had packed more snacks.
I worked with South African and they showed me this clip years ago. This just popped up in my feed today, watched it at the dentist make me laugh. Thanks for posting this 😀😁👍
To answer all the questions... This was a recurring sketch on _Beehive_, a British sketch comedy show that ran 5 episodes in 2008. Clare Thomson plays Marla. Alice Lowe is Jodine. They're left and right greeting the passengers. Sarah Kendall is the "nervous flier." She is really Australian; Alice and Clare are British.
@@pierreblignaut5859 I am not from South Africa, have hardly met anyone from there and don't really know much about these things and I can confirm these accents are spot on, consistent and hilarious.
@@theblueacorn That's a really weird statement. If you're not South African, and have met very few South Africans, how can you say the accents are spot on? I am South African, so while I agree with you that the skit is funny, the accents are not spot on.
You're just talking out of your ass. The only interaction you get with Ryanair is the flight safety drill and being offered food and drinks. Nothing wrong with that.
As someone who takes over 100 international flights per year, I can see the humour in this. Rest assured, it's not just South Africa, but it is mostly restricted to economy. This could be the Spinal Tap of the aviation industry.
This is a British comedy that was part of a show that ran from the 3rd of December 2008 to the 17 December 2008 the show was called Beehive and was screened on channel E4 , one of the actresses is English and the other is Australian.
@Barry Junior Seriously, just shut the F up. Nobody wants to hear your PC prattle about who’s legitimately South African. Hint, the boers farmers pre-date virtually all blacks in South Africa.
but if we are real for a minute it's vegetarians and vegans who think like that... ;) (I once didn't eat any plants under any form for 18 months, no health issues at all...)
@@Ri57490 Our ancestors in Europe ate only meat for hundreds of thousands of years... There are no essential nutrients you get from plants that you can't get from meat.
Alice Lowe (Jodine) shoots an impressive death glare at 1:26 and 2:18 , and I love how during the first death glare at 1:26 Claire Thomson (Marla) smirks in a condescending smug manner 😆 these two air hostesses are such trolls yet iconic queens 👸💅💎 I swear the actress playing the vegetarian passenger at 2:10 has been on things such as Bo Selecta, Extras, some Christmas adverts for Boots, Motherland and The Mighty Boosh to name a few! She kind of reminds me of the beleaguered work colleague in those office sketches from The Catherine Tate Show (series 1 & 2) with the annoying co-worker, who is pressured by the latter to "have a guess!" Then has to bear the brunt of her bothersome colleague's insults, snooping and more physical nasty behaviour such as having a milkshake poured into her head. The two air hostesses both remind me of the annoying, co worker character (played by Tate), same facial expressions/mannerisms and pestersome hectoring & bitchy manner.
4:03 "Sir, you are only allowed 20 kg of hand luggage. So, if you're trying to get one over on us, you've picked the wrong Air Stewardesses!" Too funny 😅
I would say as an American this is stupid funny this is universally funny I could watch this over every day and laugh at it every single time hilarious course I worked with people from South Africa and known a lot of people from around the world so I can relate this is hilarious.
