Typical Youtube, this is one of the funniest comedy skits of all time, and the response?

1) "Your British accents are so cute"

2) "Isn't this racist?"

3) "I don't get it"

Guys, go back to watching Happy Days clips, there more your sort of thing.

No, it wasn't acceptable use in Britain in the 60s. It's part of the joke.

@FOARP You forgot. 'I bet those Americans just don't get it. (Aren't we smarter than them lol?)'

This is soooo funny, comedy these days sucks mostly, and sketch humour has almost completely disapeared.

Would someone please upload Goodbye Again's "Long Distance" (ATV 1968)? I know that it still exists, as there's a clip in "The Comedians' Comedian."

Many Thanks.

This is not racist, it's funny, anyone who sees it as such is a very silly and sad person.

Absolutely superb, like so much of their stuff, works on so many levels.
