I think the humour in this is quite british, which may be why people don't get it, but I'm not sure, may just not be funny to some people. His relaxed (or boring, depending on your opinion) style is quite nice I think, it's as if he's just joking with audience of friends, instead of constantly cranking out punchlines with no real character.
It wasn't particularly funny, il give you that, but how exactly was he expressing the belief of racial inferiority towards the Chinese by saying "if you don't want to know the results.. look away now". He was simply joking about how bad news should have the option to not hear the outcome at the end of the report like football scores do.
Ok. Firstly, he's not being racist at all. I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but one might assume it's because YOU'RE being the hypocrite.
Even the earthquake "joke" isn't that funny. Not sure about this guy. Prefer comedians to be a bit snappier,quicker and wittier than him but it's personal choice after all. We all have different levels at which we find something funny ... or not, as for me, in this case.
If you don't like him. Fine. It's a matter of opinion. But you can not say he is crap and awful at his job when he has made a living out of Stand-up comedy for a very long time and is one of the most highly regarded comedians amongst other comedians.
Arnold Brown is one of my favourite comedians, languid, not afraid to take his time to draw you in before the punchline, I love his pacing, reminds me of Norman Lovett and Simon Evans.
Maybe the audience were being kind because he reminds them of their grandads or something... In any comedy club I've been to, he'd be ripped to shreds.
this guy was on the young ones tv show did the rounds and did and said it at the time a good comic just cos hes older hes been and seen it the arrogance of youth or is that the ignorance of youth?
thats funny..you go to arnold browns website and it says "website suspended" !

The fact that Arnold Brown never achieved any kind of mainstream success is conclusive proof that most of the population are utter morons.
