That's probably my favourite Vic and Bob sketch ever.

Yeah, I must've watched it fifty times and it still cracks me up.
I love that you can see Bob's shoulders shaking as he tries not to corpse.
Since seeing it I've never been able to refer to a certain place in Yorkshire as anything but Big City of 'Reeds.

Whenever my wife leaves the house for any reason (dog walk, groceries, whatever) I always say "Good ruck, kid!". Don't tell anyone.

I'm honestly not sure what's going on! is it actually supposed to be funny? It's hard to tell! It's "comedy". It's not about making people laugh, it's about making some social justice points about race etc. Notice the rainbow flag at the beginning to indicate Singh is bisexual thereby further enhancing her intersectional credentials among her fellow cult members. She used to do stuff on Youtube for years poking fun at her Indian heritage - sketches about her stereotypical parents, that sorta thing - but at some point she's obviously jumped on the bandwagon and here she is, being painfully unfunny and poking fun at white people.

There's a Richard Bacon documentary on Cancel Culture tonight. He goes into the Kathleen Stock controversy amongst other things.

It's a good idea to pass on the wisdom and good luck of the owl if you can.

A lot of that stuff in the video, you just think "yeah, that never happened". It's basically just a list of snipes at the cliché of the dumb Los Angelean. Bill Hicks was doing it more than 30 years ago with his Arizona Bay routine, but he was funny with it.

Tbh I'm trying to avoid the madness of the world a bit more at the moment! Richard Bacon lol. Good to see his career recover after all that coke malarky years ago!

But, hey, at least she's attractive and has that going for her.

I didn't think it was hilarious and I only watched about half of it, but I had no trouble believing that those exchanges happened.

Me neither - but 'did you grow up with a lot of racism?' is neither funny in itself nor worth poking fun at, satirically, so far as I can see. It's a reasonable question (depending on when or where it's asked, of course)
Another example of how different our cultures are, I suppose
