Loved KITH. So happy it was broadcast in the UK back in the day. I still occasionally go back to watch The Chase[0], or Bad Doctor, or I Speak No English to this day. Haven’t seen the revival show yet, need to dig out some time to do so. [0] https://youtu.be/cxY0-Qr_l78 https://youtu.be/cxY0-Qr_l78

The first few episodes of the revival are good. "I speak no English" is my favorite sketch, but "Kidnapped" will always have a special place in my heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qge0E9WYeks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qge0E9WYeks

  I’m a kiwi - never seen the series - awesome! I loved Sarcastic Guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9vunDdxWLA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9vunDdxWLA > or I Speak No English In France a Mum with her ~8 year old daughter came up and asked me something. I replied “Je ne parle pas français”, and the daughter looked very confused and said to her mum (in French) “¡But mama, he’s speaking French!”. As an aside: when going to a country it is really worthwhile learning some local comedy culture people your age learned as a child. It really helps connect with people. I will have to learn this when I travel to Canada. Knowing Monty Python is important for middle aged foreigners spending time in the UK (and can help in colonies too I guess).

    If I'm traveling to kiwi land, what comedy culture should I familiarize myself with? Kangaroo jokes? Sheep jokes? Russell Crowe films? Hobbit trivia? What should I watch to learn more about kiwis in Australia? Is kiwi a fruit, bird, sexuality, or just someone from Australia?

      Kiwis are New Zealanders. That might be the first thing to learn! :D

        I'm sure y'all get mixed up a bit with Aussies! Thanks for telling me. > All opinions are accidental. I don't know why but this is hilarious :).

      > What should I watch to learn more about kiwis in Australia Watch “Housos” (TV series or movie): from an Ocker POV it is partially about trailertrash kiwis in Ozzie. If visiting Australia, “The Castle” is important cultural background, and I personally love “A Moody Christmas” which is on Netflix here. > kiwi land, what comedy culture should I familiarize myself with? Kiwis tend make serious productions. If you are approximately middle aged, you could try watching Billy T James (TV series or movie). Here’s some funny history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTFEZiKItLs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTFEZiKItLs although I’m unsure it would be wise for new foreigners to apply that humour locally here. There’s some very unfunny historical stuff here https://www.nzonscreen.com/collection/kiwi-comedy-on-tv https://www.nzonscreen.com/collection/kiwi-comedy-on-tv if it isn’t blocked overseas, it probably should be. I have always suspected there is some sort of derper connection between Canadian’s and Kiwi’s. . . poor bastards.
