[XxMaisieBieberxX]

[manormaid]

This game is huge in Ireland

[vamborooolz]

Think I first watched this in '84 and down the years the memory of that wobbly tray of Guiness has remained. Joy.

[bugibbab0y]

rofl, no offence intended

[frankm4867]

A classic sketch, racist don't be stupid morons

[PhilK1231]

God bless Mr Wonderful Spike (He was on my train once in Newcastle from Airport to Central Station)

[ScotswaheyMK2]

The Irish aren't a race so it can't be racist. If it's anything it's xenophobic. Either way it's bloody funny and you lot need to wisen up.

[riastrad]

@ScotswaheyMK2 The irish are a race you frigging tool. We are closer genetically to the Basque people than to any of ye mongrel bastards.

[GlowWorm1962]

@riastrad

Mongrel bastards? No racism there, then.

That's the nice thing about standards these days - there are just so many to choose from ;-)

[riastrad]

@GlowWorm1962 Ah either way this shit is funny. And sure we're all mongrel bastards at the end of the day... Racist? Dont be so P.C.

[GlowWorm1962]

@riastrad

PC? Moi??? LOL!!!

What the PC crowd forget, is that Spike was broughty up in a colonial setting (and - by his own admission - a right little sh*t to the locals).

It was a time when all foreigners were considered funny and many of his comedy sketches were based on this idea.

Not that I care - I'm old enough to remember "Love Thy Neighbour", which taught all about the folly of racism by getting me to laugh at it =D

Spike was a genius and sadly missed =(

[nilbud]

@GlowWorm1962 What you forget is that Spike Milligan had an Irish passport.

[rockapeandproud]

Racist, what the fuck are you on about, this my friends is British comedy at its best, Spike you are sadly missed as are the rest of the Goons

[anticapitalista100]

This is racist!

[ahsduabfgoi]

@anticapitalista100

alot of things are racist, cant the world go by laughing at it self without people like you bombarding others with political correctness? if not heres a quote for ya.

"Comedy is another's tragedy"

[anticapitalista100]

@ahsduabfgoi not when the end product of the world laughing at itself people are killed or injured. Sketches like these might be the thin end of racism but they are racist non the less

[thenowuk]

@anticapitalista100 Spike was IRISH duh

[anticapitalista100]

@thenowuk That does make this sketch any less racist,duh!

[thenowuk]

@anticapitalista100 eh..... yes it does actually

[anticapitalista100]

@thenowuk in what way?

[brunster64]

@anticapitalista100 Look at the crap "politically correct" rubbish that passes for humour on the TV today. No wonder I don't watch it much and spend my time trawling YouTube for the last vestiges of humour in this "pussy whipped" country which skulks around in fear of upsetting anyone.

[Flinklehurst]

@brunster64 Do you think this sketch would stop being funny if the characters were of unspecified racial origin? If so race is being used as a bad crutch for humour, if not it can't be political correctness which is stunting today's humour.

Which is not to say that this sketch is offensive as is, just that I don't think your argument holds up.

[TZEITEL10]

@brunster64 Totally agree with you.

[chatham43]

@anticapitalista100 ...and you're an idiot...but you already know that.......

[anticapitalista100]

@chatham43 You are an imbecile and everybody knows that!

[trublgrl]

The X guy looks so much like Michael Scott, (Steve Carell) from the Office!

[cosycleaner]
