- Asking black and white people the same questions, with comedians Finlay Christie and Mamoun Elagab. Filmed in Brixton, London. Thanks for all your support on the last video!!
Remember to follow Mamoun on all his socials @mamouns_ting. We put these videos out on my channel but we came up with the idea for it together and we share the workload! He's a fantastic comedian and my comedy brother so please go support his "ting". ❤️ - ตลก
Really glad you all are enjoying this one too! We'll definitely keep making more :)
This one is fucking jokes man, keep it up.
Somehow this is even better than the first one!
It's like you guys were testing the waters with the first one, I hope you can come to Australia one day and do this over here, it would be interesting to see how like a significant portion of the white people here would respond very similar to the "black" (well there were heaps of different people in the video) people in England.
Like here you sort of have your white black people in Northern Rivers, and your black white people in Sydney, and then you have like super white people at the Gold Coast and in Melbourne, and your super black people in communities and out in whoop whoop.
Come to Australia you can stay at my place and go interview people
Yes please
Yes, please!!
Pleaseee, they’re too funny
I love the flat delivery of "that doesn't fit with the racist narrative we're trying to create"
timestamp pls? I watched the entire thing and didnt hear it

The guy who didn't understand what the countryside was had me in tears 😭😭😭
That's pretty bad that a native English speaker doesn't know what countryside means
I wonder how is that man's life like??.. as a random foreigner on discord, another random foreigner shares random Brittish comedy youtube clips and just by watching you get the idea... and noone has ever been to the UK or anything... like What has this man been doing this whole time..??
@@goldenpony822I find it extremelly depressing that someone might not know what a countryside is.
@@default3252 He said he's dumb leave him alone
@@default3252 honestly because of his body language and his headphones, I just assumed he wasn't fully listening/paying attention and then just got more confused by the ribbing lol, but it would definitely be strange if he genuinely didn't know
I usually hate these kinds of interviews, because they tend to be obnoxious. But, these 2 ones seems like you're having a funny conversation with your own close friends. Very wholesome and fun.
Finlay's the goat so yeah
Basically when they’re attacking black people you don’t like it but you love it when they are just constantly bashing white people in our country… can’t wait to leave England black ppl are too racist to us in our own country
“I’m inbred” had me laughing too hard, man. These are great
was just about to comment on that
When was that bit I must have missed it
@@sssophie9292i missed it too 6:52
Is as funny as coming some people royalty...Ridiculous.
@@mattjobb3196 I think you might’ve missed a friend words in your sentence there, friend. What were you trying to say?
as an immigrant I deeply resonated with the whole 'we don't go on holidays we go to VISIT'
Not an immigrant, very much reonated with me too!
It's definitly a class thing. International travel is a rich and middle class family thing
It isn't only about class. I am an immigrant that is middle class or somewhere there. There is a real struggle to decide if we are going on vacation or to visit family. Because you only have so much free time and when visiting family means travelling abroad then thw cost between visiting and vacation is comparable. Especially if you are staying in a hotel regardless.
@@Bartolomeus-dl5ec You're not middle class if you have to worry about the amount of time you can take off from work.
@@VinoVeritas_ depends on the country. Some countries have strong unions that make paid vacation time mandatory while the UK, for how shit it's economy is, has one of the highest state mandated vacation days per year in the world.
But yes in the US and other hyper-capitalistic places, taking vacation directly means less money to survive from.
Finding soup in an ice cream container is the equivalent of finding a sewing kit in a box of Celebrations 💔
Spoken like someone who's lived that experience.
so real
Ay you know
Danish Cookies 😅 I didnt even know those cookies existed, I thought they were just made for saving sewing kits.
@@returnoftheredeye I sure have, many's the time 😔
In my experience, the not drinking tap water thing is a learned behaviour from living in a country where tap water is not safe. My wife is Eastern European and her family far prefers bottle water (sparkling) over tap water even though here in Canada we have some of the best drinking water coming straight from mountain glaciers. It honestly tastes really good, it's what Dasani or Aquafina wishes their water tasted like.
We also have a lot of friends who are not from Canada originally. A lot of them are wary of tap water. In their home country the tap water was visibly yellow or green and only used for washing or bathing. I can imagine something like that is a hard habit to break. I can understand the concern. It is still funny seeing them "stockpile" stacks and stacks of bottled water in their basement though.
The tap water in the UK (in the south at least) doesn't have enough minerals it never hydrates me but other water does lol
@@TheBanana93tap water in the south of England has the highest mineral content in the U.K. I thought, that’s why they say the water is “hard” and there’s limescale on all the taps
depends on the city and village too, in my village it tastes like pool water
@@tomrowell1558 limescale dries the skin, not sure what the girl was on
That was exactly my thought when I was watching
I'm polish and I grew up just outside of London, (my parents moved when I was 8). All my answers matched the black answers, I think it's an immigration thing rather than colour.
Definitely cultural, my wife is Portuguese and we do the "black" things in our house 🤣
I'm Albanian and we're used to drinking tap water. At least in the region where I come from. And we have ice cream in ice cream boxes, but occasionally pickles as well. 😂
That is true. I grew up in Germany, I am North African, and I can totally relate to the answers and my friend who were also either from Poland, jugoslawia or Cameroon had the same upbringing.
Really? Hahaha that's honestly cool to know
Same, I´m latino and my anwers match the black ones
"We always had the ice cream box but my parents never bought Ice cream before so I don't know where they got it from" ☠️☠️☠️
They went to a party and got leftovers and then it became part of the plastic rotation. 😅
@@maryt8600I had the same question, thank you, case solved!
I thought that was hilarious!!
The real question is how their parents never bought them ice cream before lol that's child abuse surely
@@keifer7813child abuse😭😭💀💀💀
So excited to hear it wasn’t just me experiencing the disappointment of opening the freezer and seeing an ice cream box, only to realise it had mums leftover stew in it
Yeah apparently my mum's black. Will have to let her know
It gave us a real shock as kids trying to steal icecream.. frozen pasta sauce doesnt look good when you expect chocolade ice.
Yeah and biscuit tins always had loose nails, thumb tacks, loads of sewing thread and needles, and mysterious tiny keys. Oh and all these loose, broken crayons. NEVER biscuits.
@@psychedelicpegasus7587that's a white people thing too. Open a box of quality streets and it's never ever quality streets.
Yeah my mum must be black too. Actually checks out. Think I got like 5% in me there somewhere down the ancestry tree
"It doesn't work, it's just belief" was so good. Its true. It really, really is.
Yup, the worked one get to do a testimony, while 99.9% other don't.
That's the recipee to get followers.
That was hilarious
Depends what your going for rehab for. In terms of gender issues then maybe not so much but for other types of self conflict people may find going to church nice.
"No one comes out fine from going to rehab church."
I fucking lost it.
This was almost as much about class as it was race. Do the same with upper class vs lower class and I bet it'll be interesting
Well, duh.
Defo not the tap water and ice cream tub things tho
good point !
@@Emmet_Moore maybe upper class black statistically feel less of a need to keep an ice cream tupperware to reuse it, it'd be interesting to compare
class is the true divide between people, not race or nationality
6:59 “what do u know about royalty fam?” “well im inbred” LMFAOOO
Somehow these videos are actually really tasteful and funny, everyone’s usually just laughing at themselves and nobody’s speaking on behalf of anyone else or putting anybody down. It’s a celebration of differences, and it’s extremely British.
I'm Pakistani and for us it's the biscuit tin which never contains biscuits- only sewing threads... Not so much ice cream tubs but yeah, in my house the old jam jars and honey jars are constantly being reused for other things.
Great content- keep it up
that's not a Pakistani thing that's just a British thing in general. both sides of my family are white and all my relatives have that tin somewhere
yo thats a thing in the us too
Thats a worldwide thing ngl
We use Mason jars for drinking glasses lol.
I’m black and never had the ice cream tub thing. I think it’s more generally about parents reusing things outside of their purpose.
6:27 bro saying "Id be proud of you too" if he brought Nubian queen home is legit heartwarming
This and the "i'm inbred" line after got me good
Heisenberg I see you in literally every comment section wtf 😭😭😭
@@ChikaJihyo Yeah right 🤣😂
I think the “not drinking tap water” thing also sometimes depends on what area/part of the country you live in, for example I’m from Scotland which is renowned for having clean/safe tap water whereas London’s tap water doesn’t have the best reputation so yeah I can understand why lots of folk aren’t keen on it
its literally fine though 😂
@@dubudubudan yeah the water itself is fine but the pipes aren't
I wonder if it's a money thing too, because black people are often poorer than white people it means that the pipes of the buildings they live in are in a worse state the water that they drink has an off taste
Yeah i kinda get it. I moved up north a couple years ago and there’s a noticeable change in the water, it just tastes nasty idk why
I really like our eastern German tab water, it’s incredibly “hard” and mineral rich and overall just tastes good :D
6:11 "noone comes out fine from going to rehab church" had me in stitchess😂
This was actually mad funny 😂😂
stop the 'I'm inbred' at 6:59 had me chocking from laughing too suddenly 😭
every white person saying no they’re grandpapas ain’t racist🌝🌚 this was one of the funniest street interviews i’ve seen in a longgggg while
As a African Canadian it’s hilarious and comforting how similar the dynamic and cultural differences are there in the uk and here. Stereotypes exist for a reason I guess
How does it feel to be a p*rasite in a country built by whites?😂
Same lol , Ghanaian Canadian, all the same answers lol
I'm African American living near Atlanta and I can very much say my Guyanese dad and my Country ass mom are most definitely sometimes racist 😂
i mean we are all african lmao
I’m from Ukraine and we don’t drink tap water there, it’s also just not recommended. When I moved to different part of Europe it took me couple of months and a research to switch to drinking tap water 😅Great video, I laughed a lot, thanks.
tbh it really depends on where you live, in some areas they'd be right to avoid tap water and in others they'd just be wasting their money on bottles
Yall dont buy water filters?
Im Polish and i thought it was just my mum omg. I also never drank cold tap water in the uk until i was like 12 and saw my friends doing it, it just never… occurred to me that you could and it wouldnt taste weird? I was so mind blown lmao
Same, I'm from Portugal, we dont drink tap water. Moved to Lithuania for work and got used to it. Just read well if your city has good plumbing.
Slava Ukraini! Wish you the best. 🇺🇦
As an American, it's interesting to see the difference in racial stereotypes between countries. The tap water thing, the ice cream thing, those aren't well known things here
Edit: I guess that is an American thing but not one I experienced. Growing up people had Brita filters. Also in America ice cream containers are made of paper which is why I was confused lol
yes it is bro where in america do u live
@@shifa444 I'm from NYC and people don't talk about that here
I’m a black american and we definitely don’t drink tap water or ever find ice cream in the package. Its such a specific thing that no one asks about that here that’s why you don’t hear about it.
Interesting! I’m from NY. Right outside the city in MV and tap water was always a no no in the fam unless boiled. Similar recycled, metal/chemicals in the water stuff. I just thought no one in the NYC and greater area trusted the water system. Never thought about it being across racial lines 😂
@@Nishkaloo When I went over to Black friends' houses they always drank tap water, though maybe I'm wrong about the ice cream thing as that never came up lol. It might also be a bit of a class thing because I went to a magnet school so most of the Black kids I knew had parents who were doctors and stuff.
I cackled out loud multiple times watching this. The black people gave you such a hysterical assist. Just zero sugar coating of anything you discussed hahaha. Please give us more as soon as possible.
Man, this series is wayyy too underrated. I was laughing throughout the whole video while also being educated.
this isn't educating
I'm Colombian and I live in Spain, not U.K. But I wonder if it would be as much of a shock to Spanish people if I told them we store soup in ice cream containers lol
No, it isn’t! At least for me and I’m Spanish. Mis padres solían utilizar los envases de helado como tuppers, así que conozco ese sentimiento de decepción jajaja.
nah bro everywhere in world some people use that, not everyone, but in any nation its done for sure
It’s literally turns to a great container once you’ve finished all the ice cream to freeze cooked food 😂
Como española bien blanca, me siento representada por el lado negro del video jajaj nosotros tambien hacemos lo de los tuppers caseros!! Y vamos, creo que nunca he visto una caja metalica de galletas sin cosas de costura dentro jajajaj
No, I am from neighbor Portugal and we do the same
Pepe is "pepper", as in blended pepper. Blended pepper is often used as a base for jollof and other soups and stews so, lots of African homes blend a lot of it in bulk to have it at hand
this whole video had me in stitches. it's awesome to see how warm and genuine most of the interactions are, too. please keep making more of these!
Might be my favourite video series on TH-cam by now... so candid and wonderful
love these vids man no weirdness no agendas just lighthearted cultural observations, i remember going round my black friend's houses for first time and vice versa and us both noticing little differences and quirks and getting to try different food and learning stuff, it's a beautiful thing
This is genuinely a really fun series I love hearing from other Brits on silly interesting topics!this is edited rly well together, very seamless and fluid - and funny!
The bro with the white hoodie who spoke about rehabilitation is Nigerian..... the accent gave him away and as a Nigerian, i can confirm that they will take you to church for rehabilitaion🙌🏾😂😂😂
Because people who demant respect and tolerance are the most intolerant themselves, so not a surprise.
@@mattjobb3196I'm sorry, when did Nigerians demand tolerance and respect from anybody??
As a white guy from Yorkshire, I fully relate to the one about ice cream containers with soup (except in our family it's chilli lmao). I can't relate to the tap water one though. I drink it all the time.
Surely if you looked in your auntie's freezer (for example) and you saw a tub of vanilla ice cream, you'd think there was some chance it contained vanilla ice cream?
@@Emmet_Moore It probably would contain ice cream, but we have used ice cream containers for other food too.
@@Emmet_Moore not for me. Always fuckin disappointed
A white guy in Yorkshire?
The tap water in london is really bad
This series honestly has a "Creature Comforts" vibe and I'm here for it. Can't wait for the next one.
This was great! Brilliant questions & amazing choice of people. Loved this. More vids like this please.
6:52 the inbread line was pure gold
I adore these interviews, they're honestly the best!! Please keep doing more 😄
I'm from Ireland, living in Scotland. Growing up tubs of butter usually had dinner leftovers or something. In my house now, there's a vanilla ice cream tub in the kitchen with garden seeds in it. Waste not, want not!
I’ve got to say, a professional comedian editing a video really makes the comedic timing ridiculously well done
so true
Love this video! Watching these interviews as a mixed person was interesting. Like with these questions and answers I definitely feel more raised the east african way hahah. Also these interactions are so comforting and funny x
I'm a black American. My family never took actual vacations, either. We would just visit family like that one guy said.
white guy here i took mine on a 4 day one once 35 years ago. my kids take several every year and moan they won't be able to retire. i laugh and say you retire a month every year now.
I'm white American and all we ever did every summer was go stay with my grandparents in Iowa so my dad could help my grandpa with the farm work!My mom got bored,but for kids,anything to do with a farm was fun!
@@debra1363 A family farm is generational wealth. When we visited family, we went down on Friday and left on Sunday. I've noticed that the definition of poor varies, depending on race. When a BP is poor, typically they -- and everyone they know -- is poor. This is not the case with WP.
I'm white European and also every summer we would go and stay with relatives in the countryside, it was great!
@@chocolateangel8743you've no clue what you're talking about
the editing here is top class.
I love this series, please continue with it! It's a wholesome comedy, nobody gets hurt and nobody gets offended.
you just ruined the vibe ngl
@@zinc35yago ruining the vibe by addressing the good things this series brings to the table??
I love these videos so much! Hilarious and refreshing, you guys really did that
I’m loving these videos. I honestly think one of the first steps bettering race relations is to be able to make fun and laugh at each others stereotypes
One of the best youtube concepts I've ever seen. Let's learn about one another. Respect!
this was hilarious! Thanks for showing these differences in such a funny way. 🌟🌸
I love the way you edit that the contrast is so obvious, it’s so interesting and informative
So happy I ran into this! This must be the most hilarious and wholesome content I’ve seen on TH-cam 😂❤
these videos are mad funny definitely looking forward to more
This was way funnier than it should have been. Found myself nodding along and laughing out loud at the same time to these answers
As someone who enjoys learning about world cultures I love this!!! let's make this clear, as a species we are the SAME. Culture throws us so far apart that makes this type of dialogue so humorous and interesting. But you have to give it to this channel for making it so, cheers!!!
Such a great series, hope you guys carry on making them
These videos are so good 🙌 please keep making them
It doesn't help when white people are so blasé about how serious the issues with water quality are in other countries. I lived on the Kent coast for 3 years, and when my wife's friends came to visit with their baby daughter, someone at the hotel said "don't drink the water". To the hotel staff, that meant 'it's a bit hard and doesn't taste great', to my friend who's from Pakistan, that meant 'this water could kill you'. He spent the whole time boiling bottled water on a stove to make their formula because he didn't even trust the kettles. I can't imagine that's an easy culture to break.
Adore this series, these are absolute gold guys 🙏
This was really fun to watch, thanks!
I love this series. I was so oblivious to these cultural differences 🤣
Not going on holidays but visiting was hilarious! Thats literally how it is in my family 😭 last time we went on a holiday, it was when we went to Italy and it definitely was refreshing
this was way more tastefull than i expected it to be, good job
Hey! Glad this is back last one was hilarious!
They actually do put fluoride in your water, it helps with teeth or something I don't remember exactly
You’re correct
There’s a conspiracy that it also causes kids to develop ADHD or some shit like that 😂
@nelsona3468 they(people who believe in this conspiracy) base it on how allegedly there's little to no research into how floride affects the human body in the long term, hormones and reproduction, they say it's just like with cigarettes and lead poisoning in the 20th century, before it turned out that cigarettes and lead poisoning cause severe mental and physical health problems, at least that's what they say
Yeah it helps protect teeth. Scientists say it's not enough fluoride to be harmful but conspiracy theorists will be like "this is how they keep the population under mind control."
Not gonna lie some of the timing on the jokes here was even better than the first one
I’m sad you’ve only got 2 episodes of this series 😭. This is brilliant!
Just rewatched the party video yesterday. So glad to see another one of these!!
How does your partner in this only have 80 subscribers?! Y'all are both great like wow.
Stay tuned I’m coming up bruh 💯
Not people worrying about chemicals in tap water but okay with buying water in plastic
I thought exactly the same thing, there is also fluoride in black tea and coffee and trace amounts in food
I mean tbf the tap water in Londons probably radioactive or sum its so nasty 💀
Havent smiled at a video this much in ages. Love to see another
I’ve subscribed man . This is hilarious. Keep it up 😂
This unlocked some memories
Ahahah. Hilarious!!! I felt it all! In my childhood it would be the biscuits container with NO BISCUITS and only sewing tools.
This was hilarious. As an American, I had barely any idea what you all were talking about but the vibes were immaculate
Yesss part 2!!!! Loved the first one
0:27 This video was just a scheme to get a bunch of british people to say bo'oh 'oh' wa'ah
Cant stop replaying now, great😂
" What do you know about royalty "
" I'm inbred " 🤣🤣🤣
This video is perfect at showing differences between cultures without putting either one down
The icecream containers! 😄 my mum always does that and there's abbreviated descriptions written on them that are absolutely impossible to decipher, like "Pf.-H. 22" 😅
I thought it was a post-war thing. They didn't have much growing up.
Thinking back though, there weren't any other kids bringing their school lunch in an empty ice cream container...
I'm white and working class. I went to Blackpool or Rhyl on holiday. I didn't have any relatives living in the countryside, but growing up on the edge of a new town built in the Cheshire countryside allowed access to nature simply by walking a mile or so. Everything in the UK is class related to a huge extent. White, black, brown or other makes very little difference.
No, race definitely plays a role. You don't see its influence in your lift because you're white, so you're shielded from it. But race and cultural differences does have an impact on each person's experience, treatment and social mobility. Class is important too of course, but it's disingenuous to try to minimise the role of race in the conversation.
@@Candyrock15 How does race determine whether someone goes to the countryside or not?
@@VinoVeritas_ Because if you're second or third generation Afro-Caribbean your granddad or whatever came to a city to work and your family never left, so you don't know anyone in the British countryside and there's no cultural precedent for going to the countryside on holiday.
I think there's a difference between London and other cities too. I'm from Cardiff and have black step-family, and none of them have been on caravan holidays or anything like my white family have, but they have been to like Barry and Ogmore; go the same distance from Peckham though and you're still in London.
@@Emmet_Moore All of the white people interviewed seemed to be from middle class and upper middle class families. All of my family are very working class and are more likely to go to Benidorm than Devon. A lot of the black interviewees mentioned going to visit family abroad. I don't know many people that would choose the UK countryside over the Carribbean.
Yeah race does make a difference. Apparently one race in the video doesn't even recognize fluoride is in the toothpaste they use to brush their teeth(presumably they do so) while the other already knows its a fact.
Love these vids, they have me laughin
I appreciate how this is frame a pretty friendly exploration of cultural differences. No one assuming the worst in each other; just giving honest answers and learning new things at the same time. Hopefully the comments also reflect that . . . .
All I got from this is black people are able to be more honest about their family's racism and their own without backlash. Obviously a white person is going to have difficulty saying something like that about themselves or their family.
Yeah because I’m pretty sure we can all agree that almost everyone from our grandparents generation are somewhat racist.
I'm an Indo-Mauritian but I've got east Asian features. I live in France
Black and north african children threw rocks at me and when they found out where I live, they broke my window
@@varoonnone7159 That says a lot about their parents, not their ethnicities
@@StudyWithKarabo
It says a lot about how black and north african parents in France raise their children to be racists and fanatics
It’ll be a different story if the black people where American.
The diplomatically ubiquitous subtitles 😂
Please do more of this kind of questioning, its so good, ice cream so good
I'm getting slight Channel 5 News from this delivery, wicked funny, but luckily your populace is smart enough to jive with the questions instead of defending themselves
As a south Asian Brit I found this really interesting cuz I was like relating to both at the same time, still mostly the black side though. Also the ice cream tub thing is so real.
That guy saying "Nobody comes out fine from church rehab" was killing me
Keep making more, these are lovely
The man with the Argentinean team t-shirt saying he's not racist is so spot on in so many levels.
london just seems like such a cosmopolitan city i love seeing all the diffrent cultural lifestyles being represented
Its not safe to walk home alone at night bcus of those jewish leftoid buzzwords u just used 😒🙄
LOVE these videos pls keep making them
Great series! Had me laughing the whole way through. Brixton location too!
"bro i'm dumb fam you know that" love the self awareness 😂
i want more!! so funny, try with hispanics and asian too 😂
Awesome series. Look forward to more. ❤
I think you guys are really onto something with this!
6:33 „i‘d be proud of you too“
I was just hiking in the Lake District for five days and saw a grand total of one black person the whole time so this video definitely makes sense 😂
What about others like South Asian / EAst Asian etc?
