The shade between African aunts too real.
Very real😂😂but we just love them
Or any other religion, ideology and any other race
@@drxwskii6180 he wasn’t talking about other religions buddy, you don’t have to budge in when no one was talking about anything other than African aunties, never said any other religion or race
@@Sbdotyy I am truly sorry for my inconsiderate behaviour. Please may you accept my apology
@@drxwskii6180 yes I accept your apology
"My grandson he has very broad shoulders"

That bit had me rolling i was doneee 🤣😭
Tiwa Swagg Lmaooooooooo

“...And has produced two children”
Sadek Ahmed “hehhh without condom”😂😂
😂😂
The fingers
Sadek Ahmed I couldn’t take it!
*_THOOOOMASSSSSSSSSSSSS_*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I guess Mexicans and Nigerians have a lot in common 😂😂😂
ChicanoExplorer99 it’s not just Nigerians that act like that other African countries are the same
Same for Trinidadians.
I believe perhaps the shade of it all 🤣🤣🌶some hot drama about nothing
Asian too...
Am igbo Nigerian is worse
In an African home you can either be a doctor, lawyer, engineer or a disappointment. 😂😫
"I want to anima-"
African parents: DISAPPOINTMENT
💀💀
Yup, doctor, lawyer, engineer, or a disgrace to your family. 🤣😂
Yeah, it's the DELL Rule.
Doctor
Engineer
Lawyer
Loser
Yes, Gina says it best!🤣🤣
@@IronBrig4 they will take a MBA as an alternative but that’s as far as a goes
Eh...I told my sister not to post this clip from our family reunion last month....I see she did it anyway🤦🏾♀️📼🚫🇳🇬...LOL...
😂😂😂
😂😂😅
😂😜
OMG what happened???
LOL - I am South Asian and I don't understand how the Famalam writers somehow managed to spy on our family reunions .... brilliant writing and comedy ...
Thomas grandmother is a mood. I think she won this one
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@SULI994 I'm talking how the aunties hyped their kids not the achievements of the kids
Maybe
@@arnoldomutiti7981 ooohhh clearly
And he has broad shoulders
“ GET ME COCONUT WATAAA” if this ain’t my Haitian aunties 😂
She smacked him on the head and said hurry up small boy😂😂😂😂😂
so true!
@@shazz286 He went from being "few inch taller" to being labelled as a small boy 😂😂
Small boy...
Best line - too much !!!
This has to be the most accurate African/Caribbean family gathering ever depicted.
It's a very accurate depiction of Nigerian weddings for sure
I guess it's a black people thing lol
@@Thornyrose-x8g No, I think it's more specific to certain countries, not black people in general
YOUR T R A S H nah man, it's more specific than that.
@@michaelregis1015 more of an African thing
"As a DOCTAHHHHHHHHHH!" 😂😂😂😂I can't!
I love that part! 😅😅😅😅
This is so true... my sisters are doctors and my mom introduces them as her “doctor daughters”.... she legit goes like, this is Mercy, one of my doctor daughters, the other one is on call today”... She nearly killed me when I decided to study pharmacy instead of medicine like them😂😂😂😂
😅
Lol... yep
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The black sheep of the family. Shaaaaaame 😂
😁 😂 Too funny. I have just pictured her now at a party. If I was hers she'd disown me with my Media Communication degree.
Nigerian parents can hype their children for Africa in public but compare them like kilode😂😂
Amaka Agba not only Nigerians😂 but most aunties in Africa
I wouldn't know
💯 facts!!!!!!
Lmaooooooooo
Just like tamil parents😂
Auntie, control your grandson now...😂🤣
😂😂😂 as a Jamaican I lost it
I almost fought the screen 😂😂😂😂
Remember the comments about " Ms. So & So likkle boy/girl gone to foreign n send barrels"?! 🤣🤣❣🎯
The Nigerian version of Pokemon battle.
SkaiXMask word
BET
1:52 The way she yells Jamaican 💀💀💀 I cannot deal!
L.R. Red I Blame her for that other Grandsons Death😂
Why is it bad if the mother is jamaican ?
@@AD-jq7ow it's a JOKE! But in African households they would rather their children marry their own, if the mother was white or Indian they would have had the same energy
That part takes me out! 😅😅😅😅
nahhh this had me dead as I’m mixed with African and Jamaican 😭😭😭😭
It would appeaars my grandson is perhaps a few inches tallaaaa than yours 😂
Doctor and Lawyer
The two jobs you are expected to have
If not, accountant
Or engineer
Or disappointment
Engineers pilots are acceptable careers
Or property developer. And you'd better have a portfolio of 100 plus properties all over London not up North. 😁 😂
Those were the only two that really worked with the flow of the sketch
Oh my god Indian culture is so much the same😂😂😂😂
There are aunties at every party fixing people with each other showing off their sons and grandsons😂
There's also competition about who's kid has achieved more😂😂😂 and lawyer doctor engineer are considered the careers to opt for otherwise you are just a disappointment
True
😂😂
Ours is worse here in Nigeria most especially the igbo culture
😂😂😂😂 true . Do you know why we share the same culture? How ancestors were mixing my years ago if you didnt know that. When African were living in Eastern Ethiopia which is now called india. Because indians ancestors originally come from the Mediterraneans not india and you do know this is true beacuse one of the rivers in india has a name of african king. India met Africans living there already and african are the one who taught your ancestors agriculture, science and how to built toilets. Indians are how cousins.
Akanksha Yadav true lol
i saw this on instagram and i could not help myself looking for it till i found it here,this so funny, the moment she said ALL FOUR OF THEM.aahahahhahhah
It's a shame that their mother IS A JAMAICANNN!!!!!😂😂😂
"So tall ehhhhh" 😂😂😂😂💀
The Sri Lankan career Holy Trinity is also Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer. Lol
Same in the Caribbean.
It's the same in Morocco 😓
🤣😂
It's the ultimate in Africa 😭😭😭
*Come to Nigeria. Family gatherings are all about showing off the successful children and feeling ashamed of the "disgraced to family" ones.*
Pretty sure it's like that in a lot of cultures.
@@themaggattack Well we are talking about African ones...
I'm African American, I swear my family is the same
I just wanna know which aunties auditioned for this role 😂😂😂😂
None, they just rocked up at an actual wedding and waited
@@rocksteadyska6933 👏😂😂👏😁
The other Auntie's sidekick is too much 😂😂😂
God help you if your grandson is a nurse or care worker
God Bless Him
😂😂🤣🤣🤣 you won't come and kill me with laughter ooh
Or a musician
Or law student turned Baker. 😅 It was not pretty.
I laughed so hard when they turned everything on John. Even his own aunt was shocked n disappointed🤣🤣🤣
He shouldn't get in between when aunties fight 😂😂😂 it's seen as a disgrace for him to raise his voice among elders😅
Small boy get me water!...coconut water😂😂😂
That made me laugh so much. After showing him off, she reduces him to a "small boy" just like that 😂 that part made me laugh so much
@@chantelvenessa 😂😂😂...i was screaming they are too funny.
That part! 😂 still has me laughing
"Smart boy, get me coconut water!!!!" LMAOOOOO
2:05 Everyone arguing
Aunty out of no where "My grandson, he has very broad shoulders"
This is 150% accurate. Though I'm a girl, I can confirm, that every Nigerian aunty is lowkey petty.
This is funny as hell. I can really relate to both guys. At Nigerian weddings and parties I always got dragged by my ears by my mom to meet "aunties & uncles". And then I was forced to give a presentation to all of them regarding my achievements. "Hi everyone, I have a Engineer's degree and work as an Account Director for...". Random aunties: "Enginiaaa???" or "Directoooooh???". "You have done well my son!". Also when giving all aunties a ride back home: "Is that a BMW?? Well done my son!". So many memories...🤣
I died 🤣🤣🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️ the noises they be making A lAwyErrr
My mate (who is Nigerian) described this behaviour among his aunties so thoroughly that when I watched this it was as if I was watching something I had personally experienced. Probably universal to a degree though. Either my family isn't like this or they've done it so subtly that I wasn't aware of it. Probably the latter.
It's not just nigerians but Africa as awhole especially where the majority of black people live. You will laugh until you cry it's just normal for us. comedy
Lool I guess all African have those kind of aunties 😭😂.
"Aunties, Aunties, PLEASE, this is a wedding"!! That did it for me 😁
I’m African American, Haitian, Jamaican and Nigerian and some Ghanaian yet I found this relatable on all spectrums 😂
What a mix😂😂😂
Lu Dy lol yeah when I tell people this they are skeptical but idc 🤣
Lu Dy growing up was confusing af tho
I’m African American but this is so true. I was at a funeral for a relative and my auntie kept pulling me away during the passover while I was eating to talk to someone about me being in college and trying to get into vet school.
It really be like this though 😂😂
Going through the comment section, it seems a lot of people didn't understand the Jamaican reference. I think she was in a way mocking her opponent since the grandkids are not pure Nigerians. As far as she's concerned, their mother may be black but she's not Nigerian. No offence to Jamaicans or any other race. ✌
You really don't need to explain all of that
Thank you for explaining it; Asian here
Jamaican is NOT a race
They are very much west African my dear ☺️
@cristele so does Ghana and Nigeria but we are all Africans
My comment was more in reference to decent than culture.🤷♀️
The Jamaican comment had nothing with the cultures but something more mature 😉 , Nigerians and Jamaicans ,or let me say the Caribbeans have been marrying each other since the 40s or older. My Grand Aunt is from Trinidad and I have an in laws who are Jamaican and from barbedos.
How Africans introduce their children:
-This is my lawyer daughter....
- That is my Engineer son I was telling you about... 😭
1:50 “It’s just a shame that their mother is a JAMAICAN !!!!”
YOOOW Mi did ready fi fight!
Thats why they don't like JAMAIIICAAANS!! lol sorry but y'all like passa passa too much ... Africans don't get down like that.
Why is it a bad thing?
@@AD-jq7ow You'd have to be Caribbean/African/British to understand. But really it's just jokes (based on reality/xenophobia)
For irish it's ALL about who sings the best and who drinks the most.
But my father is Welsh and I felt that comment about the broad shoulders in my soul 😂😂
For the polish it's all about who makes the prettiest daughters and if they can cook
Kat Fox lmaooo thats wild😂
😂😂😂
Thank you for adding European spleens hihi :)
LoL, no matter the ethnicity (African, Chinese, or Mexican) Aunties are all the same..
As a proud Jamaican, I wasn’t expecting the comparison; but that’s a’ight. After all wi likkle, but wi TALLAWAH‼️
Tell dem! !!!
I need this as a movie
uhhh Crazy Rich Africans😂
Loving this video. Nigerian aunties😂😂
Except they haven’t got an authentic Nigerian accent😬
Some of the actors are west indians though
You could always watch a Nollywood movie 😇
Mariam. No thanks, I’ll pass!
@@DCeeee Don't complain then
theres a difference between complaints and observations.. That was an observation. @@mariam__x
Nigerian and Ghanaian in a nutshell 😭😭
Aunties really be like that😂😂😂
OMG i was rolling on the floor with my bowl of spaghetti all up in my hair
0:49 Lmao damn feels like she was summoning a Greek god😂😂😂
There's always a hype auntie on the side...
😂😂😂😂 This needs to be shown to all the "aunties" It is accurate although done subtly in real life.
Lmao the dancing at the beginning 😂😂😂
It's good to be able to have a laugh as Africans and Jamaicans
The look on her face when she said "HE HAS GROWN" 😂🤣😂🤣
The way Thomas grandmother calls his name 😂😂😂
Thoooomas!! 🤣🤣🤣
I just love the way they speak and enunciate words. It's so nice to hear and the way the video ends ...oh godo this is so nice 😁👍
Shout out to the grandson who had completed an NVQ.
One detail I loved was how the grandma told the grandson to talk about his job as a doctor and when he tried explaining at 1.15 the guy just got cut off cause the other grandma didn't even care 😂😂
This is the best thing iv seen in weeks..
1:16 the way she yelled “Thomasss!” TOO FUNNY!🤣
It appears my grandson is a few inches tallAAAAA than Yours
Nigerian and Ghanaian mom's, aunties, grandma does it alot.
but we 💘 love them for this.
lol
I have zero clue why this is on my feed, but I love it. 😂
This comedy is set in Britain for British audiences. If it had been set in Nigeria for Nigerian audiences, the auntie would have said: "It's just a shame that their mother is a Ghanaian!"
Africans are known for poking fun against each other and they don't take offence because Ghanaians, Zimbabweans, etc, would be saying the same about Nigerians. It's an African passtime. In this comedy, Jamaicans have been welcomed into that. But if they don't understand the cultural context of how Africans joke about themselves and each other, they may interpret this as an insult.
No offense
Ghanaian here
We love our Naija cousins 😘
Non offence taken 😂 🇬🇭🤝🇳🇬
The conversation talks about 1 Jamaican, then the fight breaks out 😂😂😂
1:50
*Funny because my mom is Jamaican and my dad is Nigerian*
Such a shame.
Richie Diggs why would you say that
Richie Diggs
Shame bc ???????
@@Thornyrose-x8g Sarcasm
OMG these videos are Soooo hillarious. I thought Indian families like mine were the funniest. Nigerians are just as hillarious as the Indians.
Love how the aunties fight then tells the grandson to behave when he shouts to stop them fighting 😂😂😂😂
Omg how I’m I only seeing this now? Omg I love this so so much.... Africans we are everything and all things.💝💝💝💝
not very different from asian aunties. 🤣🤣🤣
*Tbh I feel like this is extremely common in East Africa. These Kenyan gatherings are lowkey beauty pageants they just don’t have the audacity to say to each others faces.*
"It's a shame their mother is.....A JAMAICAN!!!!" Lol
Omg I died at Jamaican 😂😂😂 we are successful too!
It not like that I know some African that don’t like to marry outside their countries or tribe, a may just be because they Caribbean and not Nigerian , not because the are not successful
The grandsons there like oh God not this again 😂
Grand son show aunty the picture of ur children 😂😂😂😂 weeeeee we have all passed through this ooo!! They will embarrass us to sing n dance in front of aunties today show off
Every Roast Battle Ever!!
Love the glances between the grandsons 😂 ‘hey mate, how u doing? Pub later to get over this shit again?’ 😂
This is so true. I’m Jamaican and whenever jamaican women marry African men their mothers are always slightly disappointed.
Fathers don’t really care
It's like a rap battle, but aunties 😂
My mother’s auntie used to do this to me 10 years ago 😊 🇦🇴!
" aunty control your grandson now" 😂😂😂😂
This is my favorite auntie video so far.
This is Hysterically funny love to watch and Yes my Grandson is GRADUATING AS AN ENGINEERING ! Oluranti.
Hilarious! Looks like I should call a Nigerian auntie for the hook up. Broad shoulders are on my list. Lol!
“John!! What are you doing” 😅
This is Brilliant! I laughed so hard. I love these Aunties. 😘
Saw this on Insta😂😂😂😂
Everything about this video is funny, I mean *what music was the aunty in the blue at **1:00** dancing to?* 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Loooooool i did not even realised that...dancing while a fight is about to break out lol
I even noticed that 😂😂😂😂. There was literally no music just arguing which makes it 100x funnier
I loveee their dramatic accent and eye rolling and all.
They do treat us like Pokémon.....
even tho I'm white and so obviously can't relate to this it still made me laugh I loved how the 2 aunties were in competition with each other about who had the best grandson lol
I'm not sure relating to some of this has anything to do with race....if you were part of a white immigrant community you might have experienced something similar
Nothing to do with colour
Watched a few Victorian English movies, if you were middle class trust me even in the UK it was the same. Things are different now of course.
Fumi S no she wouldnt lol oyibo are not part of the culture
I'm white and even I know no African aunty would brag about an NVQ
It may not be nearly as extreme, but my brother and I were first on our dad's side to go to university. All our cousins are older, but we were constantly put in retroactive competition with their kids. We were all treated a bit like performing animals or servants at gatherings. When I came out, it was a bit of a relief to be considered a bit of a black sheep and not have to compete anymore.
Just wait till everyone gets home then the real comparison starts. "John! Come here. Why don't you have a PhD? See Tunde has a PhD already and his grandma had the guts to rub it in my face" 😌
OMG this is sooooo true 😂😂😂🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️. No sleep for that day
As a Bangladeshi, I can relate to the comparison...
Till next month, oh! And every Xmas ad infinitum.
Like everyone in my family ever (Indian) 🤣🤣🤣
So eerie how close to reality this is.
My mom is like this. Several months ago, I landed a senior government position in a town far away. At every family gathering, my mom must tell everyone that I'm a senior official, I'm so busy managing and coordinating programmes for my district. She kinda twists the truth at times. My aunts just listen and go mhmmm.
LMAO this is so funny..deserves more views
