Yes. In thousands. Tens of thousands. Perhaps hundreds of thousands. There are many white people in Nigeria, some are there to stay, some to explore, some are there to work, others are there as diplomats, envoys or even as spies. Many expats work in multinational companies based in Nigeria and many are white. Many of the diplomats and workers at the foreign embassies are white. Many others work with big financial institutions and NGOs and United Nations, etc. You should visit, you will love it😊
@@GloreeyahOnuh my Nigerian nextdoor neighbour is a Dr of technology a local university , him and his family are black Nigerians , we have been nextdoor neighbour's for 30 years 🏴✌️
The old farmer who says he doesn't want to be a racist, because he doesn't have the time for it. Those are wise words. It takes time and energy to constantly remind yourself that you are supposed to hate, and that it time that would be better spent by all of us on a cup of tea.
Yes, and I think that is why when people claim there is a lots of racism it isn't really true as the vast majority of people don't have the time or effort to be racist it's just too much hassle.
@@alancawfield6549 Having grown up in the South Eastern United States, I am going to tell you that you are wrong. Racism is alive and well, and I can't tell you how many times I have had other white people try to tell me what they think about "those people" That said, not every white person in the south is a racist, people would be surprised how many of us are anti-racist, but if you think racism is not a thing, you are not anti-racist.
Nah it's edited. When he left the house it was actually a few days later. In the show when he originally left the house he jumped on the Chinese people's car to stop them leaving so he could explain 😂
Excellent, ladies. I'm Irish, so the humour is invariably as you see with 'Father Ted' - for many the humour is quite dark, but not at all offensive - we tend to laugh at ourselves more than anyone else. The joke is, It's because of the rain (we have a lot of the wet stuff here in Ireland). Hoping that you & yours are in fine form - slan agus beannacht (Bye for now & blessings) 🙂
Great reaction guys! 😎 love father Ted. Welcome to the UK Gloria by the way 😊 Humour is different around the world and I have noticed with my Nigerian friends that when I tell a joke or say something funny I laugh while they stare at me with a blank or puzzled face 😂 I also don’t understand why none of my Nigerian friends like to tell people they are from Nigeria? They always say something like ‘I’m Canadian’ or ‘I’m from Dubai ‘!? But my British-Nigerian friends who were born in Britain are very proud to tell me they are British-Nigerian.
@@Pjtalkwithtiffany As you should be 😊 I feel people, especially younger people, should be prouder of their nationality as it’s a huge part of who we are as individuals 👍
Some jokes work well across different cultures, but some don't. If it's a joke about tricky word play or some local celebrity it won't work well. If it's a joke about let's say, men and women, boys and girls, or the rich man and the poor man, or the politician who is a crook, it can work well. Everyone around the world knows about them!
@@jogon331 He was right you can see the black square on the window which was used in the other visual joke and did nothing to lessen the charge of racism, not after looking like the mustachioed gentleman doing the salute.
I’ve met a couple of Nigerian lads in my time and they had a wicked sense of humour. Some of the most savage insults I’ve ever heard came out of those boys mouths. Very funny.
The entire episode is brilliant. But just to explain - between Ted leaving the room and coming out the front door there is an additional scene or two, so it doesn't happen as quickly as you think. Also, the small black square bit on the window plays a big part later when Ted is standing in front of it and it looks like he has a Hitler moustache, made all the more obvious because he's waving his arms around. Great reaction by the way.
The original version ted goes out and tries to explain whilst they drive off. The I hear you're a racist bit happens a few mins later the next day but in this clip it's cut in a way you would think it happened instantly. Ofc with the advent of Twitter that's now possible and internet was only starting back then. This scene is great please react to the next scene in this episode ( perfect square mark of dirt on a window ). Thanks for your reaction, father ted is a timeless comedy and still great today. In typical father ted fashion it only ends up getting worse for him ( lol ).
Irish actors but UK production! I might be wrong (and I'm happy to be advised either way) but I think it was banned in Eire, at least for a time, it being a predominantly Catholic country.
Never banned, just wasn't offered to RTE because of the hold the church had in the country at the time. Writer/creator and actors were Irish, it was sold to channel 4 and aired there.
Father Ted is a sitcom created by Irish writers Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews and produced by British production company Hat Trick Productions for British television channel Channel 4. It aired over three series from 21 April 1995 until 1 May 1998, including a Christmas special, for a total of 25 episodes. Graham Linehan also helped create or co-created the sitcoms Black Books (2000-2004) and The IT Crowd (2006-2013), and he has written for shows including Count Arthur Strong, Brass Eye and The Fast Show. It is very much British and it was and is still VERY much loved in Britain. I love this sketch, and still on occasions play it, and it makes me laugh every time 😂.
@MoontownMoss Sigh? It was produced by a British company. I grew up watching it when it first aired, it was very popular in Britain, as we could all understand and relate.
@@JahBeatSoundSystem Funny I grew up in Ireland watching it. It had seismic effects on the cultural perception of the church at the time and allowed people to laugh together at themselves. It's often cited as the root of current cultural attitudes to the Catholic church here. Irish writers, Irish cast, Irish location, poking fun at Irish cultural norms. RTE turned it down as it thought a Catholic Ireland may be offended, thus Hat Trick funded, British money. Still, I guess if money is where your values sit, it was a Brit funded show. Similarly "The Commitments" was funded by British money, and picked up awards as a "British" film at the time. I don't think you could honestly describe either as "very much British". But if money is your thing, fair enough. Hilariously, that financial power dynamic between Britain and Ireland has had a full turn in recent years, so if you want any comedies funded....
@@GloreeyahOnuh Ha ha ha… My initials are TED, and my middle name is Edward, so you see I really am Ted - Teddy Edward, although nobody calls me by that name! I do, however, often, within a fellowship I am part of, get called by the name Br. Tim, so you really weren’t far off after all! You made my day when I read your reply, many thanks. Father TED not!
This was a British produced show. but it was an Irish creative team behind it. So it’s not British or UK but produced by the UK. So the humor is particularly Irish, but I think it crosses boundaries.
If you don't realise, the idea of Craggy Island having a China Town area is funny because Ireland, though it's changing, is not the most cosmopolitan of countries and these little islands have few Irish people living on them let alone enough foreigners to make up a community.
The reason why Irish people say something is because Ireland was a colony, and they were exploited by the British for hundreds of years. That’s why Irish people just want the recognition that it was a Irish creative team, and entirely Irish actors produced by a UK production.
I think the essential point is that although it was aired by a British channel, the humour is essentially Irish. Ergo, although the British audience totally got it, is not in fact British humour .
The clip is edited a bit, he stands in front of their car trying to explain things but that is cut. He actually leaves the house later. You should watch the whole episode as Teds attempts to dig himself out of the hole just get worse...it all 'snowballs'. The ending is very funny.
That was short & sweet the whole episode needs to be shown to fully appreciate it,by all means show sketches from comedy sketch shows.just my humble opinion...a famous American youtuber showed a 6 minute clip of the it crowd he said he didnt get it & it wasn't funny,his subscriber's told him to persist watching full episodes in order they now say it is best comedy series they've reacted too.
well make the most of it ladies, cos it might be banned altogether soon. If you missed it, the angry woman said it'd Greeks, the invented Gayness. My Fav is at the beginning when Ted has a Lampshade on his head, and tells Dougal, to Lighten up.
Uk make fun of everyone including themselves, and I think if you laugh at yourself as well as everyone else. You don't take yourself too seriously, and often it negates any ill feeling. As most of the time there isn't any hate meant, comedy is just used to differenate what makes us all different....But also the same.
"There is a Chinatown in Craggy Island ?" loooool .... Hilairious ... The Story is Father Ted and Dougal were on Craggy Island Because they had been Banished there the Bishop, only to find subsequently that there was a Chinatown there. lol .
Gloria, you're always on the run now Running after somebody You gotta get him somehow I think you've got to slow down Before you start to blow it I think you're headed for a breakdown So be careful not to show it
Father Ted was produced by a British company however it was written, filmed and acted by Irish actors. Please don't refer to it as British comedy. Irish and English comedy are nothing alike.
Bollox. It was broadcast by a British broadcaster too, one of the most popular comedy programmes ever in the uk. It actually took a while to catch on in Ireland. I know I took vhs copies home to Ireland not long after it was on tv and no-one got it. British and Irish do have different senses of humour but they share a lot too. Ted did more for the peace process than any bomb, bullet or political mud-slinging.
