I love how no matter which African country we’re from we can all relate to these videos 😂☠️
And, Caribbean. Reach the point where we have to sneak to the airport.
We absolutely do
I'm... I'm from... I'm form Poland and I felt each second of this vid.
Exactly!!!
Some people only let you know they're travelling on the day they're flying & already left for the airport. With good reason.
You don't have to be of African descent to identify with this. With Croatians, as soon as the "community" finds out you're going home to the "old country", little old Aunties appear from everywhere to give you packets of money to give to relatives back in the village. It's a responsibility that you really don't need or want when on holiday. Like the young couple in the clip, it pays to "sneak away" and not tell anyone...if you can!!
Its not just Africa, we are originally from Bangladesh and we can totally relate to this video.
0:20 a wise antie once said
'' hhheehhhuuhhhhueehhaaahmmm''
They were going to Magaluf 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️
LOL
Sadly i cant watch the iplayer would even pay for it.
Where can I watch the full episodes?😂😂
Haha 😂
As a Filipino, i can relate. Why do Relatives think you’re a personal delivery service?
We Indonesians too 😃
Because in the past sending foreign care packages and ordering things from other countries used to be a near impossibility. Either it was prohibitively expensive, or you couldn't trust the mail service, or it was outright impossible to do as a private person. So in many cases this way was the only way people could send things to people in other countries and trust that it would end up where they wanted it to.
Same, once I have to bring a box of spam ham to my family in the Philippines.
Because they're too cheap for DHL?
@@xxminixkittyxx rn I have balikbayan box in my living room we are opening it tommorow
I’m from the Caribbean, but I can relate to this 😂😂
Am Indian and can also relates...seems these aunties are a global tribe!
Yeah same here smh these people
I'm from Indonesia and i too can relate to this. They said "It's just a small package." but even a small package will turn into a big package if 10 peoples give it.
Afro-peruvians aunties are the same 🤣🤣🤣lol
Oh my gosh most definitely jeez they would rather you leave your clothes behind so you can send gifts
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was on point 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is not just a Ghana Nigerian issue. It’s probably every immigrants issue. LMAO
🤣🤣🤣
Facts
Exactly, I tell only a minimum of people when I'm travelling. I am West Indian to the bone...
the "ghana-must-go" sealed the deal! who comes up with these things?! 😂😂😂
It’s always Ghana must go 😂😂😂😂😂😂 when you see that bag 😢😢😢
In SA we call them "umhlaba ungehlule" meaning "life has defeated me". If you ever see someone come back home with that bag! 😂😂😂 it didn't end well 😅
Every immigrant has go to through this, but you guys are at the best of showing it😂😂
I’m Egyptian and I can bloody relate😂apparently every single African country can relate lol
Indeed...😂😂 they just see us as personal delivery.
And Caribbean
south asian bengali here, same
Egypt isn't even a real African country
@@crimsonchin9632 i see geography isn’t your strong point
Mate everytime I travel 😐😐😐 how do they know ? The aunties are worse than the flipping CIA 😭😭😭 and they never offer to pay your excess.
African electronics 😂😂😂
Would you dare asking???
I can't watch stuff like this. It just makes me so upset. I would just leave it at the airport and be done with it. Stupid family pressure.
like EVER. EVAAAAAAAAAA
I’m from New Zealand and I can relate. It starts with a packet of Pineapple lumps, maybe a gift from parents, then it’s a small bag of clothes, finally it’s your mates skis... It’s impossible to get out of without looking like “a prick”.
Omg islanders from aus are the worse always expecting seafood from NZ like do I look like a shipping company?
I'm Irish you should see me on the way home from Ireland smuggling in white pudding, club orange and tayto and king crisps!!
In Liverpool we have the St Patrick’s Centre for that sort of dark arts 🤣
I work with an Irish guy here in USA. He knows to smuggle my tea when he travels otherwise I will give him that "auntie look" 😂
@@tnzem2917 Hahaha! I often gave my nephew that look when he was little 🤣
Club Orange is the bomb.
And don't forget red lemonade!!!!
This is exactly why I don’t tell anyone when I’m going to Trinidad !
can i add you on IG?
I was looking for a trini to Day something! 😂😂😂
this literally happen to me i had to leave one of my favorite dresses lmaooo, when my sister can just sew her own..
Lost it at "small microwave"🤣🤣🤣
the suitcase in the suitcase got me then the microwave finished me
I lost it at Yorkshire teabgs
And they know all the flight schedules too I'M CRYIN'
Similar thing for Brazil..but as well being the transporter I'm also the Shopper! WHYYYY Auntie Whyyyy!!!!?!
I know.. 😂😂😅😅 is crazy
NB: This is not an exaggeration of events🙄
Exactly
Aunties should be a series on their own 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
YESSSSSSS!!!! I keep commenting that myself just so BBC three take note!
OMG! I'm from Armenia and this is so relatable 🤣🤣🤣 and we don't even have right to know what's inside those boxes
1 day you'll smuggle drugs
@@LM-he7eb thank you for reminding me of this masterpiece 🥰
That’s wild 😆
Y’all need to give Famalam a separate TH-cam channel. Then I’d subscribe, otherwise I don’t care what the rest of you blokes are chatting on about 😂
you cant even say no or ur seen as disrespectful skskskks
So true! I'm from the Caribbean. Same thing, and when you get there.. those over there want you to take some "smal small things" back to family in Europe. 🤦♂️
Universally funny & it gets funnier EVERY single time I watch. The Yorkshire tea, custard creams, and suitcase inside the suitcase are just bloody hilarious. The sound effects always have me weak. Great job, keep it coming! ;-)
A whole damn suitcase 😭
Omg Every African including me from Burundi when I went back 😂😂, I eventually stop answering their calls and texted the bag is full
Asians to! Both ways, going to where ever and then going back!
I’m East African and I can fully relate to this 😭😭😭 aunties pop out of nowhere with hella stuff when they hear you’re going back home lmao
Not the microwave 🤣🤣🤣😭
Oh god, this is my childhood, when someone in Madeira was going back to Venezuela.
When I was growing up, most people in my grandmother’s generation was illiterate, so sometimes I was asked to write down letters to people I’d never met. My grandmother always complained my handwriting was too large, you were supposed to write really small so the letter took as little space as possible.
@@albertosousatenor 🤣🤣🤣
"Journey mrcies" yep I can definitely relate, aunties the world over.
This is why I don’t tell anyone I going Barbados 🇧🇧😂😂😂😂😂😂
This isn't just African. I'm a white guy from rural Canada. Whenever you go anywhere, you have to take at least one cardboard box full of local stuff for someone's relative who lives on the Mainland. People even post things on social media asking things like "Is anyone going to Toronto who can take a Care Package (that's what a box full of local goodies is called) to my granddaughter in Missasauga?" Lol. I think it's because rural people live a more "traditional" lifestyle, and I think that a lot of Africans have the same kind of "help your neighbours, treasure your family, share with others because we all need each other to survive" mentality. I think that's pretty common around the world outside North America and Europe, though it still survives in some places, like here. The similarities between us are more important than our differences.
True. Bless.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴 Angolans can relate ....this and the wedding one kill me famalam you are the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Small microwave 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead!
These aunties are global O.
My grandmother is a wealthy woman and asked us to bring a Television and vacuum
Romanian but also can relate haha, especially chocolate for my grandpa lol... Poor man he has dementia :(
Why can't he buy chocolate in Armenia
OMG this is every Mauritian family as well... This is why we don't tell the family when we are going "back home" LOOOOOOOOL
I'm from the Caribbean... to be honest, up until last year, I thought it was the only why you travelled to and from Trinidad 🤣
i love when the lead Auntie starts to issue her battle instructions ....u know it about to go down 😆
They will legit get u to risk ur life to smuggle stuff for them😂😂
🤣🤣🤣and when coming back from Nigeria they are expected to carry back some small small African items. I am from Uganda and I relate.
I'm from Pakistan. can definitely relate, taking things for family there and then bringing things back. every single time, without fail. even if your travelling alone.
I was laughing from the thumbnail alone. I've dealt with this first hand lololol.
Kenyans... We've been attacked lol
We even tell people to bring back things for us 😂🤣
When the Ghana must go back came out....🙆🏾♀️
as a Taiwanese Canadian, WHY IS THIS SO RELATABLE
Angolans aunties do exactly the same!!😍😂🤣
That’s not just my aunties. That’s my mother!
I fully laughed out loud 😂😂
Why is this so relatable 😂😂
My friend is Filipina and I remember her traveling back to the Philippines to visit family. Poor girl had to take a suitcase full of toilet paper lol
who says "journey mercies" anymore? aunties, that's who.
LOL this is basically my relatives everytime we go back to india
I'm Haitian and YES this is absurdly accurate 😂 😂 🤣
Your Haitian cousins can relate to this Nigeria 😂😂😂
I'm a Vietnamese and I can relate. My relatives once asked me to carry 4 boxes of milk powder and 20 watches for them.
I'm Jamaican, and can confirm this applies to the Caribbean too
This ain’t just African thing. Filipinos can relate!
I'm Indian and I can relate to this! Aunties know everything😂😂😂
As a Pole i relate😂😂
the wigs are on point... typical Aunties 😂
I am Indonesian of chinese ancestry, this happens all the time whenever we're visiting a family abroad. Lol. My Mum once brought a dried fish sambal to Europe, only to be discarded at the airport.
The way both aunties said "Hi" in the beginning brought out my trauma. 😂😂😂😂
Little Miss Jocelyn's descendant 😂
Ita same case in india 😂😂 i had so many fight with my aunties at airport.
Zambian Aunties will be waiting for you at the airport before you check in 🤣
This is also a Bangladeshi - Indian - Pakistani - Afghan - Sri Lankan- Nepali thing. Trust me. Once in 2006 when my family were going back to Bangladesh my mum said to one of my aunt's ( cousin aunt's - those who are immigrants know hahaha our family lineage can go back to Queen Victoria hahah) we are going on a Wednesday ( summer holiday starting date). You won't believe it, both aunt and uncle had the audacity to call in sick at work on Monday and guess what they ended up going fricking Matalan and Primark to purchase some goods to give to their tribe. They did their shopping and then called my mum in the evening to say we have items to send. My brothers and sisters of TH-cam - they bought 1.5 suitcases to send , they even bought a new suitcase to send. 40 kilos to send, what about ours. My mum turned around and said I will take 5-10 pieces of clothing but that's it. They were hurt, lool they didn't even talk to us for 2 years after. Hahaha. Long story apologies but this clip isn't even exaggerating. Now when we go we don't say when we going !
🤣🤣🤣
OMG This happened to me when I went to South Africa this year. My roommate is from West Africa, and his friends were meeting me. Therefore, I became their liason for exchange.
Yep this is so true! Going back home is never a simple thing. Got to take other people's stuff, got to take gifts for people and that's all before you consider taking your own stuff 🙄🙈😂
Y E S. They also make long requests on what they want back from Africa too 😂😂
Me when my brother says he is coming back to Nigeria. Nowadays he does not tell us anything he just shows up like "surprise" so now we've changed it to "whenever you are coming back to Nigeria get me this and that." Poor boy.
I think it's a common thing amongst people who aren't "white" sorry to say. I'm maori and my family is the same..! That stripey plastic suitcase included 😁😂🤣
I'm South African and I can relate to this as well 🔥😅
Where do you stay?
Same thing happens in Asian families 😅
I once got asked to take a brisket to Israel. I mean a brisket!! To Israel!!
🤣🤣🤣💀
Well well 😂😂😂, this is why the queues at the check in desks for flights to Africa always look like no one is hardly moving due to the mountain of countless luggage we carry as others wonder who's behind pushing the trolley.
I'm watching this in 2023 and It still makes me roll on the flour🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'm South African I can relate a little.
in some brief moment of physical exchange, she paused to ask: are you mad?
no items (earmarked for Nigeria) were damaged in the making of this skit. Lol
Why tf am i only seeing this now, how long has this is been on bbc??
Guys stream this on BBC iPlayer! Its amazing! They will keep making famalam if its recieved well
An accurate study of ALL BENGALI AUNTIES ....
And Pakistani 😂
As a Pakistani, I feel this!!!!!!!!
It got REAL when the aunties pulled out the strong stitched bags lol
When I move to the UK when I was 12 from Kenya... Nothing.... NOTHING.... in the suitcase was mine lol.... Just the clothes on my back lol 😂😂🇰🇪
Omg, it's the same with trips to India 🇮🇳 🤣🤣🤣
As a West Indian, I can definitely relate and swear by that this is all true,but where are the heavy overstuffed barrels and huge cardboard boxes wrapped with yards of silver duck tape, that would be overweight and people arguing about who packed this in the airport terminal desperately trying to stuff things in a carry-on. Good times, not.
Us pakistani people can relate to this as well ...👊😂
"And auntie ofc wants to put her entire suitcase inside your suitcase"😭💀😭
I'm Jamaican and can relate 😅
I’m sudanese and this happens all the time
And that's why you cut off your relations with certain people
And here I was thinking only West Indians did this 🙃🙃🙃🙃
I still had hope for them subtil i saw the Ghana must go. Huh i knew it was over for them.😆
As a Pakistani I can relate all too well.
One time this dude who unfriended me on fb then ran into me at the Masjid and asked when will I be flying out cus he got some things he wanna send to Pakistan in my baggage.
tell him to ask those who are on his friends list
That's what happens whenever someone goes to Vietnam too. We have a big Vietnamese community in the San Francisco Bay Area. Whenever my mom goes, everybody tries to send stuff back. Our house in Vietnam becomes a post office where people we have never met before come to pick up stuff. One time, we had a person tries to send back a huge sealed box. We told her there there was no way we would take anything across borders without seeing them first. She had to open the box. It was random stuff not worth mentioning. But still, why did she expect us to take a box with unknown content. Side note: trafficking drugs, even marijuana, into Vietnam carries a death penalty.
I died and came back! 😂😂😂
Lol, atleast u came back.
Now this sums up my whole married travelling life
Lol! Where's your other half from, just curious😀
